President Paul Kagame on Thursday met and addressed the High Command of the Rwanda Defense Forces (RDF).
In a meeting held at the Ministry of Defence HQ, Kagame reiterated the role of the armed forces in development of the country and maintaining the hard earned security.

The meeting came as Rwanda prepares to commemorate the 1994 genocide against Tutsi #Kwibuka23, which Kagame and the same troops battled to stop back in 1994.
On Friday, April 7 is when the entire country will go silent for the next seven days to remember the more than million dead.
The mass slaughter went on back then for three months – leaving tens of thousands of orphans, widows and a completely destroyed country.
During the meeting today, the President and his top military commanders exchanged views on various issues.
