Speaking at the Portland Regency Hotel, Dr. Rudasingwa exposed the achievements of the Rwanda National Congress in the past two years, on aspects like winning the political narrative, advancing on the diplomatic arena and working on the structuring of the movement both abroad and in Rwanda. He was happy to announce that the RNC would be soon broadcasting on short waves, which will allow the Rwandese to listen to that radio wherever they are.
He gave a diagnosis of the political situation in Rwanda that one of the participants qualified as “a doctor’s perspective of Rwanda politics”. He reaffirmed the commitment of the RNC to work on two pillars in the search of a democratic Rwanda that will overcome the cycle of violence, exiles and self-destruction of the sons and daughters of one country: truth and justice.
