Official ceremonies do not mark Rwanda Independence Day, it remains an important date in Rwanda’s calendar. The nation’s focus on Liberation Day, which follows shortly after, reflects Rwanda’s forward-looking approach – celebrating the end of colonial rule and the country’s ongoing journey of renewal and reconciliation. Rwanda’s story is one of transformation and hope. From its days as a colonial territory to its current status as a rising star in Africa, Rwanda continues to write new, inspiring chapters in its national narrative.
