He underscored that\, “The unity and progress of our military institutions is not only key to achieving our national security goals but also crucial in realizing the broader vision of a peaceful\, secure\, and prosperous Africa.” \nBrig Gen Andrew Nyamvumba\, Commandant of the Rwanda Defence Force Command and Staff College\, highlighted that the participants’ presence serves as a strong testament to their steadfast support for defence education\, regional cooperation\, and shared aspiration for a safer and more prosperous Africa. \nBefore the workshop commenced\, the participants visited the Kigali Genocide Memorial to pay respect to the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and also toured the Campaign against Genocide Museum.
