  • Over 230 Rwanda Police peacekeepers in South Sudan decorated with UN service medals #rwanda #RwOT

    The medal awarding ceremony was presided over by the head of UNMISS Field Office in Upper Nile State and representative of the SRSG in the region, Mr. Enos Chuma.

    It was also attended by government and other UN officials, representatives of South Sudan National Police Services (SSNPS) and leaders in Internally Displaced Camps under the unit’s protection, among others.

    The decorated hybrid force under Rwanda Formed Police Unit-One (RWAFPU-1) was deployed in Malakal, Upper Nile State in December last year where they are largely charged with the protection of civilians in internally displaced camps, UN personnel, security of key installations and humanitarian assistance, among others.

    Mr. Chuma, in his remarks, expressed appreciation to the decorated men and women for their commitment to peace in Malakal, especially during this challenging period of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    He noted that Rwanda placed trust in them and that they lived to that trust in the name of peace by tackling difficulties and hardships with professionalism.

    'Today is one of those special days to recognize the unique contributions of RWAFPU-1 to the activities of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan. We indeed cherish and appreciate your contributions during the period of your duty in Malakal,' Mr. Chuma said.

    He commended their contribution to the efficient implementation of the UNMISS Protection of Civilian (POC) Mandate in Malakal, maintaining day and night patrols in IDP camps and neighborhoods adding that they are a 'strong pillar behind the UN Police visibility' in Malakal.

    He further thanked the medalists for their integrity, courage and professionalism in discharging their duties and providing an enabling and secure environment for humanitarian partners to provide life-saving support to the affected civilians in IDP camps.

    'You adhered to the UN core values and regulations as well as code of conduct… you have not been implicated in any allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse since your arrival here in Malakal, and maintained your moral ethics. I thank you for the wonderful service for peace, professionalism and dedicated service to the people of South Sudan.

    This UN Peace Medal presentation ceremony is a true recognition of your hard work, perseverance and relentless pursuit of peace,' Mr. Chuma said.

    He further thanked the Rwandan women, who stand with their male counterparts in the name of peace.

    'It is encouraging to always see men and women in your day and night patrols as well as guard duties. You have always put your women equally on the frontline and from all indications they have also distinguished themselves credibly in the discharge of their roles. This is reflective of your country’s global leadership in promoting gender parity at all levels of governance,' Mr. Chuma observed.

    During the medal award ceremony, a moment of silence was also held in honour of late Police Constable (PC) Enid Mbabazi, who was part of the unit and succumbed to COVID-19 back in June.

    RWAFPU-1 contingent commander, Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Fabian Musinguzi said that late Mbabazi 'went out of our sights but not our hearts.'

    The contingent commander noted that they inherited a more stable but unpredictable environment in Malakal but added that they worked closely with all key security partners including other military and Police peacekeepers, civilians, humanitarian agencies to provide a conducive and secure environment for the people.

    'Despite the challenges encountered during our deployment, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the harsh weather conditions and language barrier, we still managed to protect the IDPs in the POC camps and UN personnel as was required in our mandate,' CSP Musinguzi said.

    He thanked the UNMISS leadership, the government and people of South Sudan as well as other peacekeepers for the support, which facilitated them to discharge their duties efficiently.

    The contingent commander further commended the commitment, professionalism, teamwork and dedication of the officers under his command throughout their tour-of-duty and pledged Rwanda’s continued willingness to peacekeeping, whenever called for.

    RWAFPU-1 is one of the three Rwanda Police contingents deployed in South Sudan, all with the strength of 560 officers.

    Rwanda maintains over 1,000 Police officers in various UN missions, including in Central African Republic (CAR), Darfur and Abyei.

  • Mrs. Kagame urges Unity Club members to be the difference the society needs #rwanda #RwOT

    Mrs. Kagame made the request as she welcomed 23 new Members of the club, which include 12 new members of the cabinet and their spouses, pointing out that inducting new members emphasizes the importance of the club and serves as a reminder of the uniqueness and mission of the organization, urging them to be bearers of light.

    'Accepting them today makes us all reminisce about our uniqueness first and foremost. We started our family as a group of women, united by the fact that our spouses were members of cabinet or heads of different institutions of government,' Mrs. Kagame said.

    She pointed out that Unity Club was founded at the time when the country was going through a difficult phase, characterized by anger, divisions, prejudice and mistrust as it grappled with the devastating effects of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi; she said that had things remained as they were at the time, 24 years ago when Unity Club was founded, the country wouldn’t be where it is today.

    'Our aim was to foster unity, especially since we had already seen that, when divisions and hate are given the front seat, the consequences are serious and long term,' Mrs Kagame said,

    She added that the principle of Unity Club is that once you are a member, you are always a member, whether you are still in government or not.

    'Our responsibility as torchbearers and as leaders in particular, we are committed to prioritizing Rwanda as a country, Rwandans as an identity and our unity as a people, which is what connects us,'

    'We are determined to be the Light! Light brings us out of darkness, for where darkness is, there is much destruction,' she said.

    She reminded the members of the club that the idea of coming together was to join efforts to support the government in the difficult journey of rebuilding a country, pointing out that when people join hands, they can overcome any challenge.

    Mrs. Kagame said that Rwandan continues to have many detractors who use the internet and social media platforms to tarnish the image of the country and the progress it has made so far, urging members to use the same platforms to challenge the negative propaganda aimed at setting the country back to its dark past.

    'We must never tolerate ideas whose aim to destroy Rwanda, and what we have already achieved. A Unity Club member should prioritize Rwandans and work for the betterment of our citizens, the community, and the nation as a whole,' adding that they must ensure that no one’s rights are violated.

    'We continue to find users of technology who distort our history and want to destroy our unity. As members of Unity Club, we should as well use this technology to counter this misinformation since we know the truth and we have seen the results of our efforts speaking for themselves,'

    The First Lady emphasized the importance of a united country, which she said is the bridge that will allow the country and the people to transition from its past characterized by divisions and ethnicity.

    Reflecting on the recommendations of the 13th Forum, which took noted of the challenges facing unity and reconciliation, the First Lady called on members to continue efforts to foster the same, something she said is a calling to Unity Club members.

    Among other challenges, Mrs. Kagame said that the National Unity and Reconciliation Commission (NURC) highlighted challenges which remain an obstacle to unity and reconciliation, including denying the Rwandan identity, discrimination, harassing genocide survivors, distorting the country’s history, hiding and destroying evidence.

    She urged members of the club to be at the forefront of fighting those vices and be the bearers of light which illuminates the world, emphasizing the need to continue spreading the good message, which she said is a vaccine that strengthens the oneness of Rwandans.

    During the retreat, members of Unity Club took stock of the progress made, challenges and the future of the organization as well as solutions to challenges facing the Rwandan society today.

  • Ethiopia's Defence Forces Chief of Staff Removed #rwanda #RwOT

    Ethiopia's prime minister announced major changes to his government's military and intelligence leadership on Sunday as he sought to defend a growing military action against the country's defiant Tigray region, and urged citizens not to target the ethnic Tigrayan people amid fears of civil war.

    The United Nations warns of a major humanitarian crisis if up to 9 million people flee all-out fighting or the Tigray region remains largely cut off from the world.

    Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's cabinet reshuffle included little explanation but appeared aimed at bringing the most outspoken supporters of the operation in Tigray to the forefront.

    The former deputy of the armed forces, Gen. Birhanu Jula, becomes army chief. Foreign Minister Gedu Andargachew was reassigned as security advisor to Abiy, with Deputy Prime Minister Demeke Mekonnen replacing him.

    Demelash Gebremichael was removed as head of intelligence and will lead the Federal Police Commission, while former Amhara regional leader Temesgen Tiruneh steps into the role.

    Birhanu told the state-owned Addis Zemen newspaper that several locations in Tigray including Dansha, Barken and areas from Shiraro to Shire are now under the federal army's control after the military operation began Wednesday. 'The army has destroyed all the heavy weapons controlled by the infidel group. Now it is marching forward,' he said.

    A fighter jet sent to strike locations around the regional capital, Mekele, was shot down Sunday, senior TPLF official Getachew Reda told the region's state-affiliated Tigray Mass Media Agency.

    Communications remain almost completely cut off in Tigray, with airports and roads closed, complicating efforts to verify either side's assertions. Each accuses the other of starting the fighting.

    The conflict in Tigray pits two heavily armed forces against each other in the heart of the strategic but vulnerable Horn of Africa region, and experts worry that neighbors including Sudan, Eritrea and Somalia could be sucked in.

    The federal and Tigray governments, once allies in Ethiopia's ruling coalition, now regard each other as illegal, the result of Abiy's political reforms after taking office in 2018 that left the once-dominant TPLF feeling marginalized and targeted.

    Diplomats and others assert that the conflict in Tigray could destabilize other parts of Ethiopia, Africa's second-most populous country with 110 million people, scores of ethnic groups and other regions that have sought more autonomy even as the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Abiy tries to hold the country together with exhortations of national unity.

    The Tigray leader in a letter to the African Union chair, has warned that Ethiopian forces are preparing to launch a large-scale offensive.

    Debretsion Gebremichael also appeared open to talks, saying the AU was well-placed to bring parties to dialogue to 'avert an all-out civil war.'
