Every year Rwanda celebrates Liberation day (Kwibohora), it is the day every Rwandan celebrates and enjoys the end of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi and the liberation struggle.

Historically speaking, the liberators of this nation were mainly the youth and most of the Rwanda Patriotic Army (RPA) soldiers were at a young age which shows how achieving superhuman endeavors doesn’t require having too much age or to be old enough.

The RPA soldiers were so determined and courageous in the liberation struggle as many of them have shared it in their testimony.  

Now Rwanda is a peaceful, democratic, developed and united people after many years of hatred and divisionism by the dictatorial regime.

It is important to note, however, that the unity and development Rwanda has now didn't come from anywhere but from the blood and the sweat of the Rwandan youth who gave us their youngest blood and fought tirelessly to liberate Rwanda.

Since 1957 when the divisionism started and the hatred speech spread around the country Rwanda was starting to experience the worst chapter in its history.   

During the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, youth murdered their fellows and the Tutsis in general, they used their young age in putting the country into darkness instead of using their strength in developing the country.

Even if there are youth involved in the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi blindly but their counterpart-the youth who were living in exile took initiative and worked tirelessly with humility, humanity and patriotism to liberate Rwanda and bring back the Rwandas value which has been forgotten.

Meanwhile, it is truly loud and clear that Inkotanyi’s youth are the best teachers of today’s youth and every Rwandan youth should emulate their footsteps without any hesitancy.   

They laid a legacy that the youth must hold to develop the country by building up from what they have done in 28 years ago.

The RPF philosophy must grow deeper into the hearts and the minds of Rwandan youth. 

Rwanda’s government loved their population more than the former regime did since the first republic till the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi. This is a spirit youth must keep as the legacy that will live forever transcend to the next coming generations.

 The other reason why youth must walk into the Inkotanyi’s spirit is the great and big hearts of these young liberators, they have done a lot of things in a loving and selfless manner.     

The youth of today must all look at those good activities of their elders and learn how they should never betray this beautiful nation and love Rwanda and Rwandans.  There is no excuse today’s youth can have.

 Although the opportunities out there are not enough, Rwanda has set a lot of things that should elevate the youth’s skills and give them a space of working and implementing their ideas.

Many projects are there to support everyone. Now we are seeing iAccelerator, youth connect awards, innovation hub awards and BDF.

It is important to note that these youth-oriented initiatives have made Rwanda become the fourth most promising country for Innovation Hotspot in Africa in January, this year.
