Three thousand Rwandans and friends of Rwanda from across Europe, North America and Africa gathered in London to celebrate Rwanda Day. The fourth edition of Rwanda was themed “Agaciro: Delivering Prosperity” and took place in the wake of continued economic success including the sell of Rwanda’ first Eurobond and economic growth that led to one million Rwandans lifted out of poverty.

“It is when faced with challenges that a nation or a people prove their ability and their unity. Imfura do not run away from challenges and they do not change the integrity of imfura. Our history has taught us that we must be the solutions to our challenges and determine our destiny. What Africans should have in common is not the burden of dependency but the solution of self reliance. We must question the motives of those who are unwilling to see this relationship change and oppose our ambition to achieve self reliance and cease to be a burden to others. There has to come a time when we rely on ourselves. Rwanda and Africa cannot continue to live like this.” - President Kagame
