In this fact-check, we examine the authenticity of a communique attributed to the Prime Minister of Rwanda, Dr. Edouard Ngirente. The document, allegedly issued on behalf of the President of Rwanda bears the date of 25/07/2023. It gained traction within social media groups of refugees in Uganda.

Analysis

---

---

Both English and Kinyarwanda versions of the documents are riddled with basic grammar and style errors

---

1. Linguistic Discrepancies
   
   A thorough examination of the document reveals numerous errors in writing, grammar, sentence structure, and typos. Genuine government documents typically undergo rigorous scrutiny and proofreading before publication.

   The presence of such glaring linguistic discrepancies raises doubts about the authenticity of the communique.
   

2. Writing Quality
   
   Both the Kinyarwanda and English versions of the document exhibit poor writing quality from beginning to end. Aside from incorrect spellings, the sentences are poorly constructed, lacking the standard expected of official government communications. These flaws further undermine the credibility of the alleged communique.
   

3. Lack of Official Confirmation
   
   Neither the governments of the Democratic Republic of Congo nor Rwanda have issued official statements regarding the alleged communique. The absence of any response from the concerned governments suggests that they do not view the document as genuine or significant. Their silence contributes to the overall skepticism surrounding its authenticity.

Verdict

Based on the analysis conducted Ukuri, the alleged communique attributed to the Government of Rwanda is deemed inauthentic.
