Don't Lecture Me About Democracy: Rwanda President Paul Kagame Destroys Arrogant European Journalist
We extend a warm welcome to The Africa News Network.
During an interview with a French news channel, Rwandan President Paul Kagame emphasizes to a European journalist that he would express his criticism towards the West for scrutinizing him. He asserts that Western countries, like any others, have their own shortcomings and should refrain from bullying other nations over matters of democracy. For additional information, please refer to the video.

But no British Prime Minister has ever been elected to that office by the public. It has always been the leader of the majority parliamentary party that becomes PM. My problem is that the Party members voted for someone last year only for her to be overthrown by a parliamentary coup and Sunak voted in as PM by the Conservative MPs. Now, whether you approved of Liz Truss or not, the way that was handled was appalling and showed how contemptuous MPs are towards Party members and by extension, the electorate. Still, not to worry, the utter buffoon Sir Kneel-a-lot may well become PM late next year and the UK will be even further mired in the brown stuff than it is currently.

With due respect for Kagame and leaders like him who have done excellent work, as a system, things can go terribly wrong for an entire country if the wrong person is in power for 20 years. Everywhere, including in US Senate etc, there should be a cap for people remaining in office in order to de-risk. It is the responsibility of a good leader to make himself dispensable, strengthen institutions and groom the next generation of leaders.
Actually westerners and even these journalists medias in general that are always claiming to being ashamed by kagame they know what do and kagame is right the problem is that they don't want to change the mindset they have had for Africans for long long time ago. They deceived themselves that they have to instruct Africans what to do.
