President Paul Kagame To Trump And DRC: "Rwanda Will Not Wait For Anyone"

Rwandan President and RPF Chairman Paul Kagame delivers a powerful address during the RPF Bureau Politique Meeting in Kigali on July 17, 2026, responding to the ongoing conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), international diplomatic pressure, and Rwanda's national security concerns. During his remarks, Kagame rejects claims that Rwanda is responsible for the conflict in eastern DRC, arguing that the crisis predates current accusations against his country. He also raises concerns about the FDLR, describing the armed group as an ongoing security threat operating from within the DRC. The Rwandan leader criticizes what he describes as international double standards, pushes back against calls for sanctions, and emphasizes that Rwanda will continue to defend its security interests. In one of the speech's most memorable moments, Kagame declares that he will only "shut up" when he is dead. The address concludes with a call for self-reliance, responsibility, and continued commitment to Rwanda's development and national unity.
