Diaspora participation in Umushyikirano (National Dialogue Council)

Umushyikirano is a traditional term in Kinyarwanda for a meeting where participants meet to exchange ideas, share experiences, and question each other. It is chaired by the President of the Republic, and brings together Rwandans from all walks of life, including diaspora representatives, the opportunity to ask questions directly to their leaders. Those unable to attend in person at Rwanda’s parliament building can participate via telephone, SMS, Twitter, and Facebook as well as follow the debate live on television and radio.
