{President Paul Kagame has requested the youth to strive towards developing their country instead of adhering to calls and offers outside where they are promised advanced livelihoods.}<\/p>\n

President Kagame noted this yesterday talking to 2000 youth from across the country that completed the two week civic education dubbed \u2018Inkomezamihigo\u2019 held in Huye district of Southern Province.<\/p>\n

He said that Rwandans have inner capacities of doing what they deserve and their identities are not the face but ambitions and goals which must be prioritised.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes they come and pick some youth, give them transport promising to give them better life. No, never deny being Rwandan as you are! You should seek to become a healthy developed Rwandan,\u201d said Kagame.<\/p>\n

President Kagame said that it becomes a loss for people who accept to be taken out of their home. \u201cIf you are taken to be assimilated into another land\u2019s inhabitant, you are nothing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also compared it to something cooked and becomes neither \u2018raw nor cooked\u2019. He asked the youth to avoid being \u2018half-cooked\u2019 noting that much of the politics in Africa is \u2018half-cooked\u2019. <\/p>\n

\u201cRwanda does not want half-cooked politics and you must be self confident .God created us equally. He didn\u2019t create some people with capacity beyond ours except when we don\u2019t feel it or don\u2019t understand it to the extent that people always want to supervise others,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said that the solution to false accusations from the whites is not responding to their talk but doing the right thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you stay focused on your goals, strive to accomplish your duties, then your progress becomes a solution to those that wish you bad. Don\u2019t waste your time in war of words and insults .Ignore them, carry on with your responsibilities and breakthrough somewhere. The next time they will return thinking differently about you,\u201d he counseled. <\/p>\n

He compared this to the situation of Rwanda between 1994 and 1999 where the outside world considered Rwanda a failed state and because of genocide none dared to say \u2018these people will progress. \u201cA person arriving in the country today may have to think twice before stating that Rwanda is a small country.\u201d<\/p>\n
