President Paul Kagame is scheduled to address the nation on Monday afternoon

'Will deliver the State of the Nation Address and hold a virtual press conference followed by an interactive session with citizens across the country,' the Presidency said.

This address comes a time the nation has suffered devastating effects of Covid-19 pandemic that pushed the country into a total lockdown in March- since then the anti covid-19 measures put in place by the government have paralysed or scaled down the normal functioning of all sectors of the economy.

Since march Rwanda has 7,293 cases recorded as of Sunday, 6,091 have recovered from the deadly virus and the country has lost a total of 63 persons due to the pandemic.

President Kagame is expected to highlight the effects of Covid-19 on the nation and encourage citizens to collectively work together to revive the economy while observing all measures aimed at preventing further spread of the pandemic.

The Proximity of Rwanda's immediate neighbours makes it a matter of concern for Rwandans and would be very keen on any mention about such relations with neighbours. A no mention too would not harm.

On Diplomacy, President Kagame is expected to highlight Rwanda's performance especially. Rwanda has since March 2019 kept her border with Northern neighbour Uganda closed over unresolved points. The border closure has had a deep negative impact on cross border trading and movement of people.

For Burundi, there is still an unclear position on how the two countries will forge a new path- the situation looks sketchy as both sides seem on the let-me-wait-and-see position. Burundi closed its borders about five years ago.

In August, Rwanda and Burundi negotiated a path towards enforcing security at their common border, a move aimed at ending longstanding hostilities.

Rwanda's top diplomat Vincent Biruta met his Burundian counterpart Albert Shingiro at the Nemba-Gasenyi border point as part of efforts to kickstart efforts to resolve outstanding bilateral issues.

'This meeting is part of a shared desire to assess the state of bilateral relations between the two neighboring countries and to agree on the modalities of their normalization,' the diplomats said in a joint statement.

Azerbaijan, Hong Kong, and Turkey were the top three countries to register huge spikes in VPN demand

December 21, 2020. In 2020, spikes in the demand for online privacy was monumental, research based on interest in the NordVPN service shows. New legislations, government control, civil unrest, and political destabilization is being met with digital dissidence this year.

'2020 has been turbulent in many ways. Including attempts to restrict the free internet. This year alone, NordVPN received 7,254 emergency VPN access requests from journalists and activists. This is 10 times more than a year ago. Most of the requests came from Hong Kong, but we also received requests from Iran, Kashmere, Burma, and other countries with strict internet censorship and heavy surveillance. Not to mention the people who got affected by the bans and sought solutions to protect their online identities,' says Laura Tyrell, Head of PR at NordVPN.

ProPrivacy Digital Privacy Researcher Attila Tomaschek believes that VPNs have become a crucial tool for those wishing to maintain their digital freedom in a tumultuous year. 'We've seen multiple instances this year where governments have taken action to exert control over their citizens both online and in person, typically under the guise of national security, public health or upholding morality.'

The top ten instances of VPN demand spikes this year show the scale of the spike compared to the previous day and explain its social and political background.

Countries where people, responding to events around them, rushed to protect their online presence the most this year.

The most significant uplift of interest in NordVPN online privacy tools was registered in Azerbaijan. After the government restricted major online communications platforms, 148 times more people rushed looking for the cure to the problem.

Immediately following Beijing's introduction of a new security law that effectively signalled an end to the autonomy of Hong Kong, 120 times more people came looking for an online privacy tool that could help them to maintain online communication from the censoring eye.

Finally, the night after the Turkish government announced its plan to block social media platforms and VPN services, 19 times more Turks came looking for ways to circumvent the censorship.

'More and more we are seeing that informed citizens across the globe are using technology to push back. This is evidenced by the massive spikes we saw in VPN usage immediately following government efforts to censor online content or even shut down online communication entirely,' adds Attila Tomaschek.

VPNs can be used for many things, but, most importantly, VPNs are a crucial tool that citizens can use to secure their digital privacy, bypass censorship efforts, and preserve their human rights and freedom of expression in the face of government oppression.

Umunyamabanga Nshingwabikorwa w'Umurenge wa Kabare, Gatanazi Rongin yavuze ko ayo mahano yabaye mu ijoro ryakeye bayamenye ndetse banamaze guta muri yombi uwo mugore.

Yagize ati 'Bapfaga amakimbirane yo mu muryango ngo umugore hari amafaranga yagabanye mu kimina noneho umugabo agashaka kuyamwaka biza kurangira amumennyeho inkono ishyushye y'ibiryo, nk'ubuyobozi bw'umurenge twahise tumanuka tujyayo umugabo tumujyana ku bitaro umugore nawe twamushyikirize RIB ngo akurikiranwe.'
