“I am addressing young people here who are aspiring to be leaders. It is in your capacity, in your ability, in every possibility, to give your life a purpose and to make a choice. A choice that you know if you have made it, it is not just going to be confined to your life, but has impact on other people’s lives. That is why it’s important when people are talking about why we should work together, continentally. Because not working together, what purpose does it serve? Who benefits from it? I just want to say, give it a try, you fail, you make a loss here, you make a gain here, but you stay the course. Keep going.” President Kagame | Africa Mindset Reset Forum 2026
