Youth representatives from across the country gathered in preparation for RPF\u2019s 30th Anniversary slated for December, 16th 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The league revolved around the role of the youth in the liberation struggle and their role in building the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Ngarambe called on youth to borrow a leaf from country liberators.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cDuring the liberation struggle, Rwandan children left school and went to fight for their country. Even though the then government supported by other countries, they were  defeated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He challenged youth to avoid misconduct by rethinking their contribution to their own welfare and national development. <\/p>\n<p> \u201cYou should remember that there are your age-mates spending sleepless nights maintaining our security. You should remember that, because , once you will forget it and think that it is a job deserved for some, you will have betrayed the pact with elders,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He urged youth to be catalysts of development by assisting their young brothers and sisters overcoming problems that deter their welfare.<br \/>\nNgarambe challenged youth saying that they can\u2019t dream to make drones while they fail to embrace cleanliness and fight against malnutrition among families.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat characterized Inkotanyi, should always characterize you. Youth are the resources of the country; when youth are not well sustained, your efforts are laid to waste. We have experienced that in Rwanda\u2019s history. So, we should sustain our youth so that their efforts are used in constructing the nation\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Defence Minister, Gen. James Kabarebe said that RPF\u2019s essence of winning the liberation struggle was having an ideology where all Rwandans have equal access to public services. <\/p>\n<p>The RPF Youth League Congress attracted observers ed political party  youth representatives from African countries of Angola, Congo Brazzaville, Ethiopia, Egypt, Uganda and Tanzania.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-22883 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/rpf.jpg\" alt=\"The Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) Secretary General, Fran\u00e7ois Ngarambe speaks to youth\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-22882 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/rpf1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-22887 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/kabarebe-5.jpg\" alt=\"Defence Minister, Gen.
