🎥 “The Washington Peace Agreement, together with the agreed CONOPS and OPORD, already establishes clear obligations, operational arrangements, sequencing, verification mechanisms and implementation timelines.
These commitments cannot be unilaterally or selectively reinterpreted, subjected to new preconditions, or substituted with separate bilateral arrangements with the very armed groups that the DRC has committed to neutralize.
We view it as an attempt to substitute a separate arrangement for a clear commitment already undertaken, and as a delaying tactic that risks prolonging rather than resolving the security threat.
The obligation is clear: the FDLR must be neutralized, and that neutralization must be effective, complete and verifiable.
The continued presence of the FDLR in eastern DRC, its genocidal ideology, and the continued collaboration and support it receives from the DRC government constitute a direct and existential security threat to Rwanda.
That is how Rwanda understands this threat, and that is how we must treat it.”
- Amb. @martin_ngoga at the 29 Sept - UN Security Council meeting on the Democratic Republic of Congo & MONUSCO

During #UNGA81, Minister @MusoniPaula joined a panel examining how AI can contribute to human development while preserving human agency, inclusion and cultural diversity.
She highlighted Rwanda’s human-centered approach, emphasizing that AI solutions must respond to real challenges and be designed around the realities of underserved communities, particularly where access to connectivity and digital skills remains uneven. She also stressed that data sovereignty is not simply about where data is hosted, but about whether countries and individuals retain meaningful control over how their data is used.
High level leaders from Sierra Leone and Mexico further highlighted tech equity, African data and languages, cultural diversity, human rights and human oversight.
