Hello there,

I'm going to visit Rwanda this week but I'm little bit concerned about situation in Rubavu area according to conflict between DRC & m23...

We are going to volcanoes national park, mount Bisoke and the plan is to stay (and we have already booked hotel whoch is approximately 2.8 km far away from borders DRC) in the outskirts of the Gisenyi city near to lake Kivu.

So my question is, if its safe to stay there for one night and then continue to the south or its better to avoid Rubavu area.

Thank you in advance for your response...

And also I feel sorry for innocent civilian people who usually suffer the most in the unnecessary conflict like this.

Stay safe

Hi all. I’m looking for good slow Rwandese (Christian) to play in the background before a ceremony. Could you recommend some titles? Playlist? I found “No Wowe Rutare Rwanyje” but I’m not sure if this is appropriate for a wedding, I only speak the language for a little bit. Thanks!

I'm traveling to Rwanda to assist in a community project for a few weeks and part of it involves visiting a local school. What are some items students in rural Rwanda need thats feasible for a foreigner to bring?

Also does the MTN store in the airport sell e-SIM?

How come the taxi and motor bike drivers in Kigali dont know the way to some of the major places in Kigali e.g. Kigali Convention Centre.

Is this because the riders are doing it only part-time? Or is it genuinely difficult to know your way around the entire city even as a taxi/motor bike rider?

Burundian president is warning people about the destabilization tactics of Kagame and his using young Rwandans to wage a war in DRC. He asks why does the international community say nothing about it?

He added that he is ready to go to war against Kagame if Kagame ever tries to come for Burundi the way he came for DRC. He warns that Rwanda's war against DRC could spread throughout the region.

The fact is, Kagame has NO friend in the Great Lakes region, as all his neighbour countries have had problems with him at some point since he came to power. DRC, Tanzania, Kenya, Burundi, Uganda and now even South Africa.

Kagame goes on Twitter and blames everyone but himself, but if all your neighbours, or all your classmates, or all your work colleagues complain about you causing trouble to them, maybe you are the problem and not them?

what has been the biggest challenge you’ve faced that you wish you had more help with? Whether it’s settling in, navigating bureaucracy, finding a community, or something else—what kind of support would have made your transition smoother?

Hi everyone! I’ve already made a deal to purchase a piece of land in Rwanda, but I need help from an attorney or someone familiar with Rwandan property law to close the deal legally. I’m looking for someone reliable who can guide me through the final legal steps, ensure all documents are in order, and help with title transfer.

If anyone has recommendations for a trustworthy lawyer or legal expert in Rwanda (or someone with experience in Rwandan real estate transactions), I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Greetings!

Finding rentals in Rwanda is challenging, so we took the initiative to build a solution called Kodesha (kodesha.rw)—a mobile app that simplifies the entire house-hunting process.

We have released version 1.0.0 on the Play Store: Kodesha on Google PlayStore

Current Features:

- Price and location filtering

- Posting a "request" with a description of the house you’re looking for

- Easily starting a conversation with a broker once you're interested

- Listing a house for rent

What We're Working On:

- A review and rating system for brokers

There is a lack of transparency in the rental market, and some brokers take advantage of it. This issue worsens if they realize you are a foreigner or don’t speak Kinyarwanda.

As someone who has rented in Kigali for **eight years**, first as a student and now after, I’ve encountered brokers I would never want to deal with again. With a review system in place, brokers would have to think twice before jeopardizing their reputation and future business.

Since renting in Rwanda is a topic that comes up frequently, I'd love to hear your suggestions! What features do you think would make the rental process easier for you?

So I've been in Kigali for a few weeks visiting from England. I have tinder app on my phone and have been using it.

Firstly, I have had nearly 200 matches in less than 2 weeks. I would say i am a good looking man (modesty isn't my strong point). In the UK however I was only getting 1-2 per week.

But when I speak to alot of these girls, they seem eager to meet and even have sex but then often times the question of money comes up?! Alot of these girls are expecting to be paid for showing up to a date and possibly doing more.

I just wondered if that's how it goes around here? In the UK, we meet if we like the other person. There's rarely ever a question of money.

I have spoke to a couple of genuine girls who I intend on meeting who have never mentioned money.

But the overwhelming majority seem to only use the app to make money? Am I wrong?

I just got here 2 days ago and I've been loving it so far but there's a lot to figure out. What are some things you wish you knew when you first got here or tips for new people in general?

I've arrived to Kigali just two days ago and I've been loving it so far but my only concern is the food.

Is the meat served in restaurants Halal or are there any specific places for Halal food? What about the meat sold in grocery stores?

Hey, folks. I’m staying in rwanda for 2 months as part of my master thesis research and wondering if anyone ( local or tourist/ traveller) would like to plan a cycling or hiking weekend trip or any touristy things to plan????

Many news outlets covering the conflict in eastern Congo overlook two crucial aspects: (1) the presence of the genocidal FDLR militia and (2) the marginalization of Rwandese Speaking Congolese citizens. The FDLR (Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda) is composed of remnants from the genocidal regime that operated in Rwanda prior to 1994. For nearly three decades, they have been active in eastern Congo, with the stated goal of attacking Rwanda and restoring the pre-1994 government. In recent developments, the FDLR has openly cooperated with the Congolese army and received public support from the Congolese government. (On 2) A significant portion of the population in eastern Congo speaks Kinyarwanda. They have inhabited this region for centuries - which was part of the Rwandan Kingdom. The region was placed within during the colonial partition of Africa. These Kinyarwanda-speaking Congolese have long been marginalized and labeled as “Rwandans,” often forced to flee. Since 1994, they have been targeted by the FDLR and other militias seeking to drive them out of their ancestral lands to Rwanda. The Congolese government has repeatedly failed to protect them as citizens, and in some instances, has viewed them with suspicion rather than recognizing their legitimate status as Congolese. This may helps understand the position of the East African Community which asks the Congolose government to address those two issues : to dismantle the FDLR militia and to enter in dialogue with M23 to address the second issue.

Why is it difficult to find internship opportunities in Rwanda?

Hey guys, me and my friends are coming to Rwanda next week and we are a bit curious about the safety situation. From what we've heard it's all good in Kagali and the East of Rwanda, but what about the volcanoes national park and lake Kivu. I know that our country tells us to not go near the region, but what do you guys think ?

Thank you in advance, can't wait to discover Rwanda!

Hoping to get non biased answers 🤞🏽

How is everything?and how is everyone doing.What did i miss😉

Nkeneye link ya video ya summit yose. Nimba ihari.

You called out the future with me!! You said it, it’s happening. You said that if I need you, to call you!! I miss the hollowed out 🍎 and fun nights!! Love ya bro.

Are you going to boast again about peace and stability when you have invaded your neighbour and captured their border city? Rwanda has a population of 12 million DRCongo has over 100 million. The Congolese are not paid to fight this is a war of survival they will fight to the last man no matter how weak and desperate because they are defending their homeland. Kagame has finally crossed the point of no return!

As a South African who will be visiting soon, can I get some advice?

I will start…

1. Lack of professionalism, honesty and enthusiasm in work place.

People in shop, airport, MTN…

Hi there! Asking this because I'm planning to travel to Kigali + volcanoes national park this weekend. Just read about the newest updates on conflicts with DRC at the borders: NBC Article. Folks living in the area - is Kigali and the park still safe to travel? Considering cancelling travels but the permit to the national park is so pricey...

Helllo! I’m looking to adopt a kitten/cat in Kigali

Hey folks, I'm planning to stay in Kigali, Rwanda for a 4-moths period (tentative) and would some pointers on where to get an affordable studio apartment. My budget caps at 200k for this. Anything will be very helpful. Thank you

Axel Rudakubana's father, Alphonse Rudakubana, was a soldier of RPF Inkotanyi during the Rwandan War of 1990-1994. Is he still a secret agent working for Kagame? Probably, because once you start working for the him, you can never quit.

https://x.com/SGahamanyi/status/1819600082590666821?t=K9M6SNxn6uaSdoSzq4iqjg&s=19

Now Axel's family is being housed for FREE with British taxpayers money somewhere in the UK.

Imagine your family getting a free apartment paid for by UK citizens despite you being a terrorist.

Willing to pay, I am intermediate kinyarwanda speaker need help to really master the language; must know English well enough to really explain and teach. We can zoom or teams
