He is serving as a leader knowing better Rwandans choices, striving for inclusive development, improved wellbeing and access to education for all,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p>Ntamanyoma explained that Rwanda\u2019s dark history left the country devastated.<br \/>\n\u201cBeing stateless and lacking identity has come to an end. Rwandans are nowadays characterized by dignity and pride in whatever they do. That is our identity here in foreign countries,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p>The celebration of the 25 liberation anniversary, Ntamanyoma said, is a good opportunity to thank RPF Inkotanyi soldiers for their sacrifice to liberate the country.<br \/>\nNtamanyoma said Liberation Day is a good moment to remind everyone on his\/her role in fighting against genocide ideology, trivialization and commending RPA Inkotanyi who stopped the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. <\/p>\n<p>She thanked Rwandans in Italy for being fond of their motherland and continued charity initiatives where they raise contributions to subscribe Mutuelle de Sant\u00e9 for vulnerable Rwandans.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-30916 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\"
