Cyclists Reassure Safety at Tour du Rwanda Despite Security Concerns

Posted : 06 March 2025

Cyclists who participated in the Tour du Rwanda have expressed that they felt secure throughout the race, despite concerns about the event’s proximity to conflict zones.

 

The eight-day race twice passed within 20 kilometers of Goma and Bukavu, cities in the Democratic Republic of Congo that were recently taken over by the M23 rebel group.

 

This security risk led Belgian team Soudal Quick-Step to withdraw from the competition before it even began.

 

However, South African rider Ryco Schutte, who competed with his national team, dismissed any fears about safety, telling BBC Tigrinya that he never felt in danger at any point during the race.

 

Belgian cyclist Kamiel Eeman from the Lotto Development Team shared similar sentiments, stating that he enjoyed his time in Rwanda and did not experience any security concerns.

 

Despite initial apprehensions, the event proceeded without any reported safety incidents, and the participating cyclists emphasized their positive experiences. Their reassurances highlight Rwanda’s ability to host international sporting events even amid regional instability.
