My father went to an African medical convention that was held in Rwanda a couple years ago. He was amazed at how fast and how much Rwanda has improved. Ever since then, I have been tracking President Kagame. I must say I’m impressed. The man is a visionary.

Am impressed by how this journalist is respectful unlike other channels I won't mention. He was willing to listen instead of accusing the President and bringing in different reports from the so called experts and critics. This is how our African Presidents should be interviewed.

Call it madness, but there are those who don't want to see modernity & urbanization in African countries! They are happy to see a dirt poor farmer in a rural setting, barefooted, in rags, lives in a hut, few kids running about in the yard, barefooted, in oversized rags & his wife over a mud stove cooking! If city life is shown, it's the slums - not the nice neighborhoods with modern buildings; chaotic traffic - nothing orderly. However, Paul Kagame is showing it can be done. & what's all this batty about freedom? All the average bloke is concerned about is to put food on the table, put $ome in a bank account, not be hassled by civil servants for a bribe, etc! Physical & economic security. Full stop.

@@corianderhater it's a crime mostly in the eye of the western leftists. They need to justify their " aid" . They label anyone with strong policies as " strongman" right winger. Lol. They always mix up their labelling of african leaders unsure if they're right or left. The anglophile leftists associate with nationalists rights when it comes to african politics( ironically).
Hands up! This man is so intelligent. I wish there's more like him in Africa❤❤❤❤
Facts speak louder than words. For those countries that believe in Western democracy and freedom and follow in the footsteps of the West, those countries that believe in China's win-win investment and learn from the Chinese model, you can compare the status quo of these countries. The facts will tell everything, and the facts will not be falsified.
Well said Mr. President, well said!

This country will make history when it becomes fully developed. It is similar to South Korea. South Korea suffered during a terrible war and in 1960 was one of the poorest nations in the world. Lacked resources yet became incredibly rich and is one of the richest nations in the world. Rwanda had a terrible genocide and has some resources, but its future is focused on services and exporting advanced technology. Good luck I am closely watching you Rwanda.

My father was in the South African Navy for 25 years. While he was there he went on many aid missions to give many people from the rest of Africa running water and pumps and wells etc. They did this in stages, but 90% of the time when they returned after the first installments, to perfrom maintainance and build more, they found that the wells and pumps etc were missing or destroyed. This is just one person's accounts. Please don't paint with such broad strokes, you miss the detail.

President Paul Kagame is a true leader who has put his people first every time when he is on interview it's people of Rwanda and the way he has transformed his country you can agree that this man loves his country and it's people, and this is what the west hate.President Kagame has just used Aid properly and for the intended purpose he has used enterprenuaship to transform his country. I hope some African leaders also admire his style of leadership. I love him.
Exactly my brother!!! Nobody likes to be controlled....Your right, when they just come in and trying to get into your business, also you see it, it is perfectly normal to them..... They never feel ashamed of themselves....!!!! They like to give you so little, and yet take so much from you....!!!!Africa has a lot of resources,if Africa can stop corruptions all together....
Other African leaders must learn from him
An educational program, similar to that run by the Ruhi Institute, is needed to awaken in children, junior youth, youth & adult a spirit of humility, generosity, justice, honesty, & trustworthiness. Without these qualities African people will be held captive by tribal loyalty & greed.
WE THE AFREEKANS MUST FIGHT TO PRINT OUR OWN CURRENCY IN AFREEKA
The trade not aid concept is much easier appreciated by people immersed in Chinese culture, with the Chinese saying "Helping the needy not the poor". In the US, one of the most catastrophic law is " Aid to families with dependent children" which totally destroyed the African American families... And even worse, with entrenched welfare industry, the law can never be repealed...
Aid is nothing more than charity that becomes an obligation instead of Aid.

kagame is right and i support him. why do people have to worry about the relationship between Africans and Asians countries?

Somalia got two brave brainy leaders Farmajo N khyre.But are still struggling to bring the splitted mind togeta struggling to make their ppl understand the message.the massage of unity the price of forgiving each other.the important of forgeting the past and dealing with the present. The reality in Africa today is we must understand that in our toghternes we can make it but divided we can be exploited by our enemies. Every knows in Africa That chaose strive in chaose N corruption.succeess strives in peace N stability .

No offense, but Rwanda is so unique, to the point where even we Rwandans can not practically show when and how many different human groups inside Rwanda came to adopt only one dialect and living in undivided territory. It is not found anywhere else on African continent except in Burundi which used to be one territory with Rwanda, once upon time. All talks about Rwanda's existence and creation are just historic empirical hypotheses
Big up mr kagame
Long before Rwanda, Eritrea has been arguing for the termination of any aid but instead other options like enteneurship and trade and equal partnership. But we dont read or hear in any western media. I was just wondering by the way.
This is why other Africans envy Rwandans for the visionary and pragmatic leader they have.If the other leaders emulate him, Africa will become a super power in the foreseeable future!
I'm in love...lol
