But the proof was in actions, not words\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>For the last twenty-five years, Kagame said, Rwanda has been governed according to the liberation ideals fought for. He highlighted that the conduct of our forces, the bravery of those within Rwanda who opposed divisive politics or the energy that Rwandans give every day are among forces that lead to transforming the nation as we have seen in the past 25 years. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a result, the impossible has become manageable, and even natural. Achievements like restoring trust and peace, or working together, for example. But we cannot take anything for granted,\u201d he said.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is the responsibility of every Rwandan to extend the gains we have made. Rwanda appreciates the profound link between our liberation journey, and the wider African quest for self-determination,\u201d added Kagame. <\/p>\n<p>Held under the theme \u201cTogether We Prosper,\u201d this year\u2019s celebration is an opportunity to recommit to Rwanda\u2019s vision for a peaceful, united, prosperous and self-reliant nation.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document
