After weeks of unfounded speculation regarding his health, President Paul Kagame reappeared in public this afternoon at Urugwiro Village, where he received former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo for a high-level meeting.
The two leaders engaged in a wide-ranging discussion covering regional developments and pressing continental and global issues.
According to officials, the conversation focused on pathways toward stability, enhanced cooperation, and sustainable progress across Africa.
The meeting marked President Kagame’s first public appearance in weeks, effectively dispelling baseless online rumors that had circulated about his health.
Senior officials he earlier today dismissed the speculation, affirming that the Head of State was simply taking a routine personal break.
Today’s engagement with Obasanjo underlines Kagame’s continued leadership on matters of regional security, diplomacy, and African unity.
Both statesmen are widely recognized for their active roles in shaping continental policy, particularly through initiatives linked to peacebuilding and economic transformation.
No further details of the meeting were disclosed, but observers say the timing and optics send a strong message of continuity and stability from the Rwandan presidency.
