Rwanda Marks 31st Liberation Day in Cairo
Israa Farhan The Embassy of the Republic of Rwanda in Egypt commemorated the 31st anniversary of Liberation Day with a high-level diplomatic reception held at the Dusit Thani Hotel in New Cairo. The celebration brought together Egyptian government officials, ambassadors, business leaders, scholars, and friends of Rwanda to honor the country's transformational journey from genocide to national renewal. Known as 'Kwibohora', Liberation Day marks Rwanda's emergence from the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. On 4 July 1994, the Rwandan Patriotic Army, under the leadership of President Paul Kagame, ended one of the darkest chapters in the nation's history and laid the groundwork for peace, justice, and inclusive development. In his keynote address, Rwandan Ambassador to Egypt, H.E. CG Dan Munyuza, emphasized that the significance of Liberation Day extends far beyond military victory. 'Liberation was not merely the end of a war,' said Ambassador Munyuza. 'It was the beginning of a new vision, a commitment to never return to tribal divisions, hatred, and despair.' He also praised Egypt's continued solidarity, 'I would like to commend the government and the people of the Arab Republic of Egypt for the unwavering support towards Rwanda's transformation journey.' Rwanda's post-liberation progress has been widely recognized. Over the past three decades, the country has rebuilt its institutions, invested in health, education, and innovation, and empowered women and youth. With consistent economic growth averaging 7 to 8 percent annually, Rwanda now ranks among Africa's most business-friendly nations. Touching on regional challenges, Ambassador Munyuza highlighted Rwanda's commitment to peace in the Great Lakes region and welcomed the peace agreement signed recently between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Washington, D.C. 'Let this 31st Liberation Day commemoration be a reminder that from even the greatest pain, renewal is possible,' he stated. The evening featured Rwandan music and cultural displays, along with exhibitions showcasing the country's tourism and investment opportunities. Guests were invited to discover Rwanda's famed attractions, including gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park and wildlife safaris in Akagera. The Guest of Honor, H.E. Prof. Hani Sewilam, Egypt's Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation, lauded Rwanda's transformation: 'Rwanda's extraordinary progress over the past thirty years is a true reflection of visionary leadership, national healing, and a steadfast commitment to inclusive growth and development.' Minister Sewilam also announced a forthcoming Memorandum of Understanding on Water Resources Management between Egypt and Rwanda. The agreement will focus on catchment protection, groundwater development, rainwater harvesting, and capacity-building to enhance climate resilience. He further commended Rwanda's constructive role in regional water cooperation, particularly through its active participation in the Nile Basin Initiative. 'We strongly rely on Rwanda's constructive role... to enhance cooperation between [Nile Basin] states and maintain the sustainability of the Nile River, this vital common water resource,' he said. The event reaffirmed the strong ties between Egypt and Rwanda and underscored a shared vision for regional stability, sustainable development, and pan-African progress. Guests were encouraged to view Rwanda as a key destination for trade, tourism, and technological innovation. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream
