For close to three years now, Rwanda has been in the international spotlight over its refugee partnership with the United Kingdom. Many people around the world not only in politically unstable nations but also from developing nations often flee their homelands for the UK through the British channel.

These kinds of refugees are often referred to as channel migrants. Many people wish to make the United Kingdom their home against all odds. It seems impossible for the United Kingdom to simply welcome everyone that seeks refuge. For this reason, many have suggested that they put a total ban on channel migrants while others are suggesting that the Migrant partnership with Rwanda is actually the best option.

The United Kingdom-Rwanda migrant partnership that was signed in April 2022 makes it possible for the UK to transfer all asylum seekers to Rwanda for screening before resettlement in the United Kingdom.

Early this year, the former British prime minister Borris Johnson advised the new prime minister Rishi Sunak to continue with the controversial migrant deal with Rwanda.

According to our sources, British prime minister Rishi Sunak recently had a phone call conversation with President Paul Kagame of Rwanda where they discussed the Rwanda migration partnership. The two leaders committed to continue working together to ensure that the partnership successfully works out.

On Sunday 12th, 2023 a fire broke out in the Gisozi market destroying machines worth more than 50 million Rwandan francs. The market mainly deals in timber and construction materials.

It is not the first time fire broke out in Gisozi timber markets. It should be noted that almost every year there is a fire outbreak. The cause of the fire this year has not yet been established but some attribute it to either a power outage or fire from a thrown cigarette

The fire was put out by the fire police. Investigations are still underway to establish the actual cause of the fire breakout. Unfortunately, most of the property that was destroyed was not insured.

Rwanda DeGeneres’ Campus Plants A Tree In Memory Of Twitch

The team of Ellen Degeneres Gorilla conservation campus in Rwanda planted a tree on their first anniversary in loving memory of the late Stephen Twitch Boss who committed suicide last year. The tree was planted to have the memory of Twitch boss forever remembered at Ellen Degeneres campus in Rwanda.

Twitch joined the Ellen Degeneres show in 2014 as a guest DJ. He later secured the position of co-executive producer in 2020. Unfortunately, this was short-lived when the show came to an end in May 2022. It was six months after the closure of Ellen Degeneres’ show that tWitch committed suicide.

Once he received the news that the show was coming to an end, tWitch admitted that it was still hard for him to take it in. The show had been a major part of his life. Besides the fame at the Ellen Degeneres Show, tWitch had become famous for his iconic dance moves.

The Ellen Degeneres campus was opened in February 2022 making February 2023 their first year anniversary. Though the campus is mainly focusing on mountain gorilla conservation among other conservation efforts, there is no single mountain gorilla found at the Ellen DeGeneres campus.

The Ellen Degeneres campus hosts the official headquarters of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. It also has state-of-the-art laboratories, a scientific conservation library, and a meeting space for visitors. It also has a section for student housing.

Mountain gorillas are some of the wildlife species that were once critically endangered but due to the conservation efforts that are partly attributed to the gorilla trekking in Rwanda in partnership with the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, mountain gorillas have shifted from “critically endangered” to “endangered”

Rwanda's Kwita Izina

By Didier Scaillet

We all knew coming in that we would experience incredible nature – a land of a thousand hills and wildlife, in particular the gorillas – and it surely did not disappoint. On the contrary.

It is our final morning in Kigali, as the last SITE Executive Summit participants – a diverse yet very cohesive – group of Incentive Travel professionals from Belgium, Canada, China, India, Italy, Ireland, Poland, South Africa, UK and USA – leave this incredible country. Throughout this journey, I dare say that #SiteUnite was as strong as it gets.

We had an extraordinary few days discovering how unique this nation is. After a fruitful exchange between the SITE delegation, local authorities and the private sector, we set off to explore the destination.

We all knew coming in that we would experience incredible nature – a land of a thousand hills and wildlife, in particular the gorillas that live in the Volcanoes National Park in northern Rwanda – and it surely did not disappoint. Here are few things that I did not realize about Rwanda before I came here:

  • Rwanda is the fourth safest country in the world and the safest in Africa.
  • Rwanda’s Parliament is made up of 70% women (highest in the world) and women are playing a huge role in the country’s economic miracle (7-8% GDP growth). Testimony to gender equality, we met Clara, the CEO of the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) and one of the most influential people in Rwanda’s Vision 2020 plan. Belise who is the RDB Chief Tourism Officer and Nelly who was recently appointed from the Office of the President to CEO of the Rwanda Convention Bureau.
  • Rwanda is amazingly clean. I am not talking most European city kind of clean, I am talking Singapore, Monaco or Switzerland clean. Everywhere Rwandans spend a few hours every day cleaning the streets and their neighborhoods
  • The Rwandans are among the friendliest, most hospitable, smiling and positive people that I have encountered (up there with the Filipinos and Omanis) and they are ready to host the world (no visa requirements).
  • After enduring a terrible genocide in 1994, Rwandans faced their history in a remarkably courageously way (the Genocide Museum does not cut corners). This nation is demonstrating a tremendous sense of resilience, inclusiveness and faith in the future under visionary leadership. Rwanda is actively promoting Ubumuntu, a universal bond of sharing that SITE Executive Summit Rwanda_Ubumuntu.jpgconnects all humanity

Because of this extraordinary experience, we are committed to furthering our partnership with the Rwanda Convention Bureau and the Rwanda Development Board to support the country’s vision to become a world-class Incentive Travel destination. It has all the ingredients and now 12 remarkable Ambassadors.

These are just a few of my impressions of this very unique country.

The saying goes that, when you leave Africa, a part of your heart and soul stays.

So true.
