Part of Kagame speech at Youth Connect:
No longer is anyone allowed to strip others of their rights, to harm others because they look different. It's like those you hear who claim that we should negotiate with interahamwe and FDLR. Negotiate with them! I won't even discuss it, because I will just wait for you at the right place and I will hit you... I really didn't even respond to those claims. No, I didn't even try. But that's just common sense; everybody knows that there is a line you can't cross, not ever. Even those Interahamwe and their partners, they must have been excited someone spoke for them. They must have thought that now their crimes have become political tools... They will never know what has hit them. It's impossible, there is a line you can't cross, and it's non-negotiable. You young people should know that so that you don't get fooled by anyone claiming otherwise. Don't let anyone lie to you. It's simply not possible. Not by politics, not by land, not by sea, not by air. It will not happen.
Young people, please don't let yourselves be misguided. Listen to your elders so that you can become respectable men and women, good citizens. That's what we expect of you, good Rwandans. You have in you the same potential and capacity as anyone else. You are full of life, you have the skills, the brains and you can work hard. You can do whatever you want for your country so that it can develop and progress like other countries. You have it in you, don't waste it; don't waste yourself. When you waste all of your potential, you are depriving your country of something very valuable.
We need you and you have to know that Rwanda is your motherland and Rwanda has suffered. It's like that name: Bamporiki [why are they after me]? Yes, you have to ask why they are constantly after you. When you have people who want to blame you for nothing, you have to stand for yourself, build yourself so that no one can hurt you. You can't allow them to. Edouard, that name of yours has a meaning; you have to stand by it. Refuse to be blamed for no reason. Yes. Why should you be blamed for things that are not true? And that applies to all of us as well, why should we be blamed for nothing? You have to do the right thing so that when the time comes you are found irreproachable. Don't give them the pleasure. Let us continue to be who we are.
Sasa wewe jMali, akisema i will hit you kwanini unasema ni Kikwete badala ya kusema Interahamwe?
Na kweli, sio uongo kuna line you cant cross, and who ever dare cross will be hit hata wewe utaishia hapahapa kwenye jamii forum ya wa Tanzania, utalia wee lakini Rwanda inasongambele:,
Kelele za chura hazimzuii tembo kunywa maji:
Tumetoka mbali, na tunajua tunapoenda there is no one to decide for our destiny and we will fight for it, this is our dignity:
