PAM-Rwanda: Protais Musoni re-elected president

The 4th Congress of the Rwandan Pan-African Movement reappointed Protais Musoni as president of the organization. Vice President Epimaque Twagirimana also remains in his position. The Secretary General has become Athanasie Nyiragwaneza.

During the 4th Congress of the Pan African Movement Rwanda (PAM-Rwanda) held at the Rwandan Parliament in Kigali, members from all districts of the country re-elected President Protais Musoni with 100% of the vote, Vice President Epimaque Twagirimana was also re-elected with 98.5% of the vote, while the Secretary General became Athanasie Nyiragwaneza, elected with 95%.

She holds a master’s degree in development studies and a bachelor’s degree in social sciences. She was a teacher, then a member of parliament, and today she works in the private sector. The outgoing secretary-general was elected to the parliament during the last legislative elections. This is incompatible with the responsibilities of secretary-general of PAM-Rwanda.

Voters recognized the work accomplished over three years with very little resources.

By electing this office, voters recognized the work accomplished over three years with very limited resources. The achievements focused on coordinating activities aimed at changing mentalities, supporting African unity, promoting African cultures, and initiating future leaders to collaborate with public institutions.

Diplomatic representations of African countries, higher institutions and young people were targeted in the implementation of PAM-Rwanda initiatives for a three-year mandate.

WFP Rwanda met with African diplomats to discuss African integration. Some needy social groups were assisted. Capacity-building programs on good governance based on African values were implemented in higher education institutions.

The idea was born from the fact that Rwandan universities are increasingly attended by many African students (more than 30,000). PAM-Rwanda seeks to instill in young students the good governance that Africa deserves.

WFP-Rwanda is represented at all district, sector, and cell levels across the country. Committees are expected to be established shortly.

The Rwandan Pan-African Movement is dedicated to transforming Rwandan mindsets and institutions. The goal is to reflect African agendas and promote unity, dignity, and solidarity among people of African descent.

The Rwandan section of the Pan African Movement (PAM) was created on April 23, 2015

The Rwandan chapter of PAM was established on April 23, 2015, with the establishment of its first National Leadership Council. An Advisory Council composed of various committees was then created to advance PAM’s work in Rwanda. Several branches were then opened in schools, particularly targeting university students. The main objective was to revive the Pan-African spirit based on a unifying, pragmatic ideology.
