    Dear people of Rwanda I'm writing you from afar to, first of all, greet you and to remind you of what happened in 1994, the genocide. Your actual president, Kagame, a dynamic, honest leader, put back the country on the right track through hard works and determination. You must pray for him and give him your indeniable supports even accept the idea to keep him more on power, for the sake of your safety and the country. He is the best african president so far. You need a brain like him to be in charge of the Commonwealth. With him, the world leaders pay respect to african dignity and can not come as usual imposing their will on Rwanda country or african in whole. Those oppressors should be kept out of african affaires.

    The journalist is completely arrogant and looks very intimidated and uncomfortable in front of the Rwanda's President. Body language. Journaliste qui prend des airs supérieurs, rien d'étonnant. Still, i'm impressed and amazed at the diplomacy and calm of the President of Rwanda.
  • I just love the way Mr. Kagame handled himself in this interview. He was not gonna be bullied, interrupted mid sentence, nor have his words twisted. #bossman

    President Kagame is is not a yoyo, he rules from experience and knowledge. What I admire most, he uses his God given wisdon and courage for his country!
  • @wekesalamu
    What an intelligent man, all the hypocrites have put the questions together to put him down but it went totally the opposite way by making Kagame even stronger

    French, Britian, US, Belguim and the Dutch - they are the five nations who damaged blackness mostly

    I like kagame and Eritrean president stance towards defending their country. Brave men !
  • The interviewer was combative which is not a surprise. But President Kagame floored him.

    By their fruits you shall know them. Name just one other leader in world history that has so rapidly brought his nation and countrymen out of a state of total chaos, poverty, and dysfunction to the level of peace, prosperity, social and economic development seen in Rwanda in just 25 years! Name just one other world leader! Corrupt leaders live like Kings while leaving their people in a state of crisis and impoverishment. Kagame has done just the opposite! He is to be honored and applauded!
