Earlier in March, Rwanda reported its first Covid-19 infection and days later the government announced a countrywide lockdown as part of measures aimed at preventing further spread of the pandemic among the 12 million population.

The early and stringent lockdown meant paralysis of the entire economy as other countries followed suit. Businesses, schools, churches, markets, bars, the motor taxi transport system and other sectors closed down. However, shops selling essential items and products remained open.

Two months into the lockdown, a group of Rwandan Youth kept engaged remotely through social media- consumption of data increased significantly as people urgently wanted to keep track of Covid-19 news. Nobody knew what was next as the pandemic was ravaging the whole world.

These youths came up with an idea which according to them aimed at creating a means with which the public would access products of all types without physically going to markets or shops.

Geoffrey Kamali the 7-member team leader told Taarifa that their idea was named 'One Basket', 'we created a virtual market place where traders can register their businesses and list their products.'

'One basket is an e-commerce initiative that was conceived in response to Covid-19. Given the restrictions on movements, businesses that were previously accustomed to clients going to them had been constrained,' Kamali said.

With this One Basket there are two platforms combined in a single entity- one for the market place and the other for delivery. They are all automated and interlinked. When a client places an order for a product through one basket platform, the product is pushed to drop (they named their delivery services 'Drop logistics'). The product is later packed and delivered to the client through a fleet of trucks, motorcycle taxis and also youth riders that get paid for delivering these products.

'Transport service providers are aggregated with One Basket to ensure a flawless delivery network system,' Kamali explains the innovation.

Kamali says four months later, their project has attracted about 27 companies and a wide traffic base as they keep prompting the system to buy products online.

He counsels youth to venture into e-commerce, 'They need to be mobilised to come up with innovations that march their passion especially in the areas of sports, education, ICT training and other.'

One Basket is one of the hundreds of other innovations that Rwandan youth have developed with the aim of creating job opportunities, access to solutions of all forms especially education resources, counselling services.

Rwanda's youth represent 60% of the total population- they have been hardly hit by the Covid-19 pandemic.

At the beginning of September, the Government of Rwanda and UNICEF launched the 'Generation Unlimited' [GenU] initiative- it aims at ensuring that all young people between the ages of 10 and 24 are in school, training or employed by 2030.

According to Fodé Ndiaye, UN Resident Coordinator in Rwanda, 'Generation Unlimited will enhance the strong partnership with the Government and national stakeholders to empower young people with skills and opportunities to unleash their full potential, innovate, create jobs and wealth, and to build a better Rwanda for all.'

Rosemary Mbabazi, Minister of Youth and Culture says, 'Generation Unlimited Rwanda's initial programs will include strengthening young people's civic participation, increasing entrepreneurship capacity of secondary school learners, and making counselling services accessible to those who need them.'

While launching this new initiative, Youth Minister said, 'Make sure that you bring solutions that are needed and implement them. Use your passion and do everything with your heart. The government of Rwanda and partners are here to support you. You are able and we believe in you.'

At global level, government leaders, business executives and heads of United Nations organizations and multilateral agencies renewed their commitment to connect every school and community to the internet by 2030.

They pledged to also reach 3.5 billion children and young people with quality education, including world-class digital solutions, distance learning and relevant skilling.

In a recent meeting, held virtually on September 1^st themed 'Generation Unlimited: Connecting Half the World to Opportunities', United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said, 'Young people must be at the forefront, with decision-making power, bringing their creativity, energy and problem-solving skills to the world's greatest challenges.'

According to UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore, 'even before the pandemic, millions of children and young people were missing out on quality education and training opportunities because they didn't have access to the internet. Now COVID-19 has made the situation much worse.'

Henrietta cited the current trends saying there will be 3.5 billion children and youth below the age of 25 by 2030, each looking to gain the digital, entrepreneurial and job-specific skills they need to thrive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

The Head of State made the observation on Friday, September 18th, while addressing a meeting of the Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development on the 10th anniversary of the commission.

President Kagame said that the first decade of the Broadband Commission has made a real impact by highlighting the transformational power of universal access to high-speed internet connectivity and smartphones.

'Ideas that seemed futuristic ten years ago are now mainstream; the next decade will be about using digital tools to speed up the recovery from the COVID pandemic and make up some of the lost ground on the SDGs.

'We must become better prepared for future global health crises. Equal access to education has been very uneven due to the remaining digital divide,' President Kagame said.

President Kagame thanked members of the commission for taking the time to join the meeting to share knowledge and experiences and for the dedication throughout their tenure serving the commission.

'Earlier this year, the United Nations Secretary-General launched a roadmap for an ambitious digital cooperation agenda. This initiative promises to further elevate the important work of the Broadband Commission, which has been made possible by the productive partnerships embodied within our diverse membership,'

'We stand ready to support the Secretary-General’s vision for digital inclusion as a cornerstone of the Sustainable Development Goals.'

President Kagame also recognized ten new Commissioners who include Erik Ekudden, from Ericsson, Filippo Grandi, from the UNHCR, Lacina Koné, the Director General of Smart Africa, Hyeonmo Ku from KT Corporation and Pekka Lundmark from Nokia.

Others include Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, from Ghana, Dongyu Qu, from FAO, Andrew Sullivan, of the Internet Society, Mohammed Al-Tamimi from Saudi Arabia and Makiko Yamada from Japan.

The Broadband Commission was launched in 2010 with a view to furthering the campaign to accelerate the spread of the Internet worldwide. It is estimated that by 2025, about 35% of the population in poor countries will have access to fast internet, which is 65% in developing countries and 75% in the rest of the world.

Rusesabagina told the media on August 31, 2020, that he was arrested at Kigali International Airport and that he arrived in Rwanda willingly.

His arrest sparked controversy around the world, with some claiming he had been abducted, others saying the plane was hijacked and found in Kigali. There were also reports that on August 27, 2020, Rusesabagina arrived in Dubai at 7:10 p.m.

Reports indicate that he left Al Maktoum Airport in Dubai on a private jet of the Bombardier Challenger 605 of GainJet late in the night and arrived in Kigali on Friday morning.

In an exclusive interview with the New York Times, the 66-year-old said he took the plane thinking he was going to Burundi. He made the remarks on Thursday at the Remera Police Station where he was being held, along with his two lawyers, Mr. Nyambo Emeline and Mr. Rugaza David. It was a conversation he said he gave willingly and no one forced him to.

The conversation took place in Rusesabagina’s room where he is held from, where it was reported that it was clean, with a bed covered with mosquito nets. The suspect was wearing a trouser, a jacket, shoes, and a gold watch.

Rusesabagina told reporters about his arrival in Rwanda from Dubai airport.

He said that the private plane he boarded in was meant to take him to Burundi in Bujumbura where he had plans to engage with various religious groups at the invitation of the local pastors.

He arrived at the airport on August 29. Instead of finding himself in Burundi, he found himself surrounded by Rwandan soldiers, it’s when he realized he is not in Burundi but in a neighboring country, Rwanda, where he had last been 16 years ago. He says this surprised him.

Asked how he felt after he found himself in Rwanda, Rusesabagina replied, “Ask yourself how you would feel if you found yourself in the wrong place.”

President Kagame had recently announced that there was no kidnapping in the process of bringing Rusesabagina but he had willingly brought himself to Rwanda.
Rusesabagina was recently arraigned in court on suspicion of 13 counts and Thursday, the Kicukiro Local Court ruled that he should be remanded in custody for 30 days while the investigation continues, the decision was immediately appealed.

He told the New York Times he was innocent of all the charges against him. On the first day of his trial, he told the court that he regretted the FLN’s actions in killing civilians in the Northern Territories and apologized to those individuals affected and the country as a whole.

A few days ago, his family announced that they do not agree with the lawyers selected by the 66-year-old, and so they (family) appointed seven lawyers including one Rwandan.

Rusesabagina said he was the one who chose his lawyers and he is happy to work
with them. 'I’m the one who selected my lawyers and I’m happy to have them. Only my family was not notified. '

He said that although he is imprisoned, he has a high blood pressure problem, but the Rwandan authorities always send him doctors to take care of him.

'A lot of people come and talk to me. They also clean my room. They give me food. They are good people. Everything is fine so far. '

In this interview, he did not explain what happened in Dubai and how he found himself in Kigali but he only said that all that happened when he was tired.

'I was taken to a place. I don’t remember where. I was tired, legs, face, I couldn’t see anything. I didn’t know where I was. '
