\u201cWe can endure any challenges we face because they are leading us to an even better future,\u201d he said to the applause of the residents.\u201d<\/p>\n

He told them that much has been achieved but there is still a long way to go, adding that August 4 was an important date for Rwandans in their continued quest for sustainable development. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe next seven years should leave us in a better place in terms of development and I have no doubt about that,\u201d he said in the rally he addressed from Kabeza, Kiziguro Sector of Gatsibo.<\/p>\n
