A real hero
This video highlights the origins of Rwanda’s liberation struggle and the important contributions made by Rwandan refugees both abroad and within the country. It illustrates how many Tutsi, despite being displaced, excluded, or forced into refugee life, remained committed to the struggle for their rights and for a peaceful, united Rwanda.
The video also demonstrates the resilience and determination of the RPA/F Inkotanyi under the leadership of His Excellency President Paul Kagame. Beginning with very limited resources and equipment, they faced a well-armed regime that later carried out the Genocide against the Tutsi. Through discipline, strategic leadership, and the support of Rwandans both inside and outside the country, the liberation forces gradually strengthened their capabilities. Materials and equipment captured from defeated former government forces (Ex-FAR) during battles contributed to improving their operational capacity.
We express our sincere appreciation to all those who contributed to Rwanda’s liberation, including refugees in the diaspora and those who endured hardship within the country. We also recognize the courage, sacrifice, and leadership of President Paul Kagame and the Inkotanyi, whose efforts helped stop the Genocide against the Tutsi and laid the foundation for peace, unity, security, and national development. Their legacy continues to inspire future generations to uphold the values of patriotism, resilience, and human dignity.
