He has revealed this Monday, during a press conference with local and international media covering the 25th commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi.
The press conference follows commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi held on Sunday 7th April 2019 at Gisozi memorial where Rwanda was joined by friends and the international community, diplomats, different heads of states and government to pay homage to genocide victims.
“We are not thinking of creating a war outside our borders. It is a warning to anyone who thinks about war and on our territory. If somebody has ideas that they want to bring war to Rwanda, they should also be aware of the danger they face if they do that,” said Kagame.
Attackers have at different times raided regions in the neighborhood of Nyungwe National Park but repelled by Rwanda’s soldiers.
Commenting on threats to Rwanda, President Kagame said that “In defense of the future children of Rwanda and our stability, we are prepared for that, as we fought many threats and challenges before, we are now better prepared for any threats that would come today.”
President Kagame, however, said that war should not be an emergent thing noting that people should be watchful using the word. He highlighted that war should neither be the first, nor the second nor the third choice considering its disastrous impact.
On the attacks in Nyungwe forest, President Kagame said that there are people behind it to provoke a war against Rwanda mistakenly pretending to benefit from it.
“Those who are behind it have in mind to provoke a war from which they mistakenly think they will benefit. They are trying to hide problems of their own and create a scenario where when war happens, you look the same. We refused this provocation,” he said.
President Kagame also assured everyone that Rwanda with its history of suffering has grown in all bounds including the strength, capacity to wage a war in defense of its stability and peace.
