CNN: Paul Kagame talks about Dead Aid and China

[kirundo1]

@lAMWEASEL Africa never been in short of hope. No ethnic back ground that you can't find in Africa from out of it. Ever since time immemorial, Africa has and will always be The basket for Humanity, but Whites have played the game of divisionism and psychological fear to make Africa Americans believe that they will die by leaving The US, or that Africans don't like them, and much more hypocritical tacticks. The end game for African Americans is not to leave one for another, but combine both.

[stephentsang2000]

How come an Indian became the president of an African country?

[somrazy3]

@stephentsang2000 who is Indian ?

[stephentsang2000]

@somrazy3 The president of Rwanda in this video is apparently an Indian disguising himself as an African.

[HybridD91]

@stephentsang2000 You think Africa is all black? Do learn history.

[temwani121]

our main problem are not the eurpeans ITS THE AFRICAN LOOTERS that are doing a fantastic job in destrying africa.

[pppeterus32]

Aid is a bad credit card gone wrong. African's need some one like Mr. Kagame to redirect them in advancing their countries without date. Learn from American's who owns credit card debts, they are very unhappy because many don't have good jobs to pay their credit balance off and they end up filing for bankruptcy.

The people of Rwanda and their economy can't grow if they constantly have to worry about paying back their date.  I am in great support of Mr. Kagame's vision for his people.

@lAMWEASEL

Africa will be one of the richest continent on earth, and at the speed things change, this could well be happening in our lifetime. I would advise african american, especially those with good education to go back to their motherland and to contribute to the "african dream". USA and Europe are dead men walking, rife with the systematic discrimination of people of colour, there's no future there.

[M5IAN]

@daralhikma1999 Stupid nigger you keep telling yourself that. Arica will never develop as long as retards like you are spewing shit on youtube about "let's do this, Africa will be the richest continent and a superpower" hahahaha

[Abdikarimelmi]

Asians like Africa suffered western imperialism, so we can be friends with, but never with Europe

[akazchis]

Hm,-that is very interesting fact in the history as leading to the idea: how China's business interests are attacking to Russia through rwandans.

---------

P.s.

See, pls, in history the 1961. year as the Russia's african-colonizators plans big victory - year in Africas continent at all, but today on the Earth gobally is going the very deep crisis in any area of finances,culture and ecology,that means the Russia crisis at the first,of course,hm,-all the earthlings crisis that is=RUSSIANS CRISSIS!

[Dalmeda1]

You should ask Paul Kagame, how much money he has in his account?

All African leaders are looking to fill their bank account.

You see now he get a big house from China. that 's why talking about corruption.

Do you think Obama will accept a big house from china as gift. You see now They are all greedy....

[benonito1]

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

[Strugglle]

Anyway, the European and the American commitment didn’t help on Africa. Our resources were exploited and were used by others. Western companies have polluted Africa and it is still happening. Think of dumping nuclear waste near Cote d’Ivoire or using Somalia as garbage dump by European companies. The Chinese bring along what Africa needs: Investments. China invests in infrastructure, like building roads. The human rights concern shouldn’t be an excuse The new competition is very healthy for Afrc

[alazar73]

According to the U.S. Department of State, Office of Foreign Assistance In keeping with its self-relaince policy, the government of Eritrea stopped requesting any financial assistance from the United States since 2005, and fully cut-off all third party NGOs that were financially sponsored by the United States after 2006. According to the Eritrean government, it firmly believes that foreign assistance breeds a culture of dependency that shackles African countries into a cycle of poverty.

[gabriel82030]

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.

[emperor536]

Africa don't need aid, Africa needs investment (direct and indirect investment)-to create jobs for it's people, transfer of technology- so that they can innovate, security etc....Since China started investing in Africa and allowing Africans to invest in China- Africa has seen a surge in the number of African millionaires and Billionaires. Nigeria alone has a few Billionaires because of investment with China...the task is now transfering that wealth to the people

[jemahika]

KEEP ON CHINA... WESTERN COUNTRIES NEVER CONTRIBUTED FOR DEVELOPMENT OF AFRICAN CONTRIES WITH IN LAST FIVE DECADES BUT CHANA MAKING CHANGE WITH LESS THAN TWO DECADES....

[Delaguerrilla]

the situation is even worse in the military...How sad; ur chamed by a devil so u sing his praise...Remember the people of Congo. Rwanda's leading the region in gold sales when it has no gold mines on its soil; where does it come from? Coltan is leaving the continent through Rwanda while Congolese continue to die. Praise Kagame all u want; he is the best puppet Westerners could have ever wished for. they talked about the genocide in Rwanda, what about the genocide against my family members in DRC

[kirundo1]

@Delaguerri. I know Rwanda more than you, it's my country and it has what the whole world calls: Salomon's mines. Rwanda is leading in the region in Gold sales not because they killed Congolese, it's because they know what to do. Most of gold dealers are Congolese like you and they trust Rwanda to do business with. Why? answer: corruption free system, convenience in every sense of that word. Don't keep lashing out Rwanda like a foolish dog barking at the flying birds, work with Rwanda instead

[Delaguerrilla]

@PrometheanRunGood and @kirundo1 what leadership? the man has more blood on his hands than all the bleach in the world can wash away.5million+ Congolese dead, thousands more in Rwanda and Uganda. PAUL KAGAME IS THE MODEL HOUSE NIGGER! I would like to hear you make the same comments if your family members had been killed by Tutsis for no reason and you country was infiltrated by them to the highest offices.Tutsis are not Congolese but the #1 customs officers in the country is Tutsi.

[kirundo1]

@Delaguerrilla Please don't blame Congolese fiasco on KAGAME. You Congolese used to blame White Belgium, then you blamed White Americans, then French, and now is Kagame? Get your house in order. Kagame is providing clean water to his people, health care that's second to none, education which is envy of the rest, empowering minorities, private institutions flourishing like no where else in Africa, Congo has never done it since its creation. Blame yourselves for failing yourselves.

[Shnufkin]

@kirundo1 DRC is an artificial state, its borders drawn with a ruler, irrespective of tribal or national boundaries. War is an understandable consequence. Don't be so callous as to blame sixty million people for a cruel and violent history.

As for Kagame, yes his militias did commit grevious crimes against members of DRC's Hutu population. He has to bear some responsibility.

[kirundo1]

@Shnufkin I agree partially with you, but Congolese did bring all this non-sense war to themselves; Congo supported Hutu extremists government of Habyarimana in 1990, cleansing Tutsi in Bigogwe, Bugesera, Nyanza. In 1994, when Hutu genociders left Rwanda towards Congo, they were protected and armed. Rwanda never pursued them into until they threatened to attack Rwanda from Congo. At that time, Rwanda still in fresh wounds of genocide, had to do what it had to do, to silence those evils.

[somrazy3]

mr kagame is vet charasmatic and clever i like him,

[kirundo1]

That's called leadership in action and at its best. This Man should be the president of Africa not of Rwanda, just a wish.

[ThePodarek]

hmmm. Btw, Bono and Geldof, have been quiet recently, lol

[gsvkck]

When America offer foreign aide it doesn't come with a string attach instead it comes with a big dick. Soon as you consume the aide the real fun begins.

[PrometheanRunGood]

What an eloquent man Pres. Kagame is and what a bore this Zakaria is.

Long live Africa-China friendship.

[eliet001]

This fucking hindu priest cnm employee faggot can go to his christian master hell. CHINA and AFRICA can be friends and that has NOTHING to do with this coolie baboon's ancestral country of that wannabee india or with his adopted white master homeland. This goddamn turban wearing camel riding fareed should watch his goddamn back this fucking asshole!

[achille09]

You and ur army who killed 7 million of congoleses. get ready for a war soon. we are coming in!

[wabdinur]

@achille09

You'll lose :D Rwandans will forever penetrate Congo through Kivu.

[kirundo1]

@wabdinur

Just listen or read what Congolese write on you tube, then you can get a grasp of who are they. All they can do better is running mouth. Nothing more. Have you ever heard a Rwandan crying recism, or colonialism or blablah? No, never. We Rwandans believe that we are capable of leading the way, let be in Africa or else where

[kirundo1]

@achille09 We Rwandans don't even believe that any one can discriminate against us, because we have a sense of self confidence. That's why we're progressing more than Congo, ten times. Did you hear president's Kagame response to Fareed Zakaria in terms of China controlling Rwanda? Did you get the response?????

[kirundo1]

@achille09

Fellow Africans, stop crying recism and colonialism every time and day. Take control of your future, and in case you fail to do so, please admit it, admit your failure. That will help you to reassess every thing you've done and, ultimatelly correcting most of mistakes you made in the past

[charbonelle]

-Damisa Moyo advocates that african countries should borrow in CAPITAL MARKETS (none of the sources of finance are african)in groups which is what kegame & Musseveni are doing by creating the EAF.

-AS THE SAYING GOES THE BORROWER WILL ALWAYS BE SLAVE TO THE LENDER

[kirundo1]

@charbonelle

Okay Charbonelle, let give a benefit of doubt about what you're saying.

My question to you would this: What's your better solution to get Africa ahead? You seem to criticise Kagame and Museveni, but what's your better ideas??? Just curious

[charbonelle]

@kirundo1 The biggest exmaple in Africa alone is the CELL PHONE INDUSTRY (whose metals come from the DRC where the WAR keeps the metals cheap; think about it...cheap(WAR)metals + cheap (chinese labour) + de-regulation (enforced by IMF, World Bank) = MEGA PROFITS OUTSIDE THE CONGO = MEGA PROFITS OUTSIDE OF AFRICA = WE LOSE COLLECTIVELY = LOST OPPORTUNITY THAT "MUST" BE REGAINED

[charbonelle]

3)housing ($332-billion)--> WE CAN develop rapid construction technologies with composite materials

4)transportation ($179 billion)--> WE CAN create composite materials and transform it into parts

5)health ($158-billion)--> WE CAN produce preventative and homepathic medical solution

6)ICT ($51-billion)--> WE CAN develop devices tailored to their environment similar to ours

7)water ($20 billion)--> WE CAN develop water solutions

[charbonelle]

@kirundo1 BOP Sector-wise, AFRICANS can .....

1)food ($2.8-trillion)--> WE CAN get into agribusiness and export food goods

2)followed by energy ($433 billion)-->WE CAN invest in developing alternative energy solutions

[charbonelle]

@kirundo1 Other companies in other nations are looking at this market but they DO NOT HAVE THE STRUCTURES TO supply, distribute or market their products CREATING A MAJOR DISADVANTAGE they will have to restructure. But in Africa we have ALL the PRECONDITIONS to TEST INNOVATIONS that will intergrate all of these demands into in ways THAT GIVE US AN WIDE-OPEN OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME LEADERS IN A MARKET THAT MAKE UP 3/4 of the world population VALUED AT $ 5 TRILLION (china excluded

[charbonelle]

@kirundo1 CONTROL MARKET SHARE IN INTERGRATED INNOVATIONS:

The BOP market in Africa as well as other continents (South America and Asia) have also shown an interest in new technologies THAT ARE TAILORED TO THEIR ENVIRONEMENT examples such as the 100$ LAPTOP can be powered by various ways (solar, pedal, rotary...). Even Smart Phone are being sold in India right now to people in instalments hence such products are in demand in similar markets.

[charbonelle]

AFRICANS MUST HAVE THE CONSCIOUNESS TO DEVELOP THE INSTITUIONS TO RE-ORGANIZE THESE MARKETS AND LINK THEM IN WAYS THAT WILL SYSTEMATICALLY SECURE "OUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE" protecting us from predatory international competitors whose desire is to DOMINATE "OUR" MARKET.

[charbonelle]

@kirundo1 Experts say that once a survey of consumer habits is gathered and instutions of businesses cater to this demographic, they will get MASSIVE RETURN not in the form of SMALL volume of HIGH INCOME EARNERS (african elite) but an ENORMOUS volume of LOW INCOME CONSUMERS (wall mart is a living example of the principle). According to my research who ever get that market will have access to a market VALUED AT $429 BILLION (95% of the population in 22 countries out of 54)

[charbonelle]

@kirundo1 CONTROL OF OUR MARKETS:

Africans are part of a economic majority known as the BOP market a.k.a informal sector. Recent studies made in Africa,Asia, South America and Eastern Europe a have shown that the markets has ENORMOUS PURCHASING POWER. The Continent has a population of roughly 900 million which is about 70% informal.

[charbonelle]

@kirundo1 This MUST be accomplished in order to "CONCENTRATE CAPITAL" to systematicaly prevent foreign CONTROL that WILL IMPOSE DEBT OBLIGATIONS on US!!!!!!!!!! In Europe there is a saying "Give me control over a nations currency, and I care not who makes its laws.--Baron M.A. Rothschild

[charbonelle]

@kirundo1

In this FORMALISED arrangement the depositors will be the owners of the bank once capital is accumulated, entrepreneurs can forward requests for investements which will be evaulated by a specialized divison (a combination of an accounting and technical consulting company). They will be responsible to discover and promote new ideas for business. Once a venture is chosen the profits and losses are shared amongst all proportionately.

[charbonelle]

@kirundo1 CONTROL of CAPITAL:

We MUST have money backed buy ASSETS not DEBT through participatory equity (i.e credit unions, kinship financial systems a.k.a ROSCA's, Sharia Finance or collective venture capital/angel investments)

[charbonelle]

@kirundo1 by pioneers sush as Toussaint Loverture, Goerge Padmore and the greatest of them all MARCUS GARVEY who coined the term "AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS...AT HOME AND ABROAD ". He too talked about Africans taking the ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY to rebuild their nations. I have studied the Diaspora and the Continent extensively and found out that the pursuit of FREEDOM and SELF-RELIANCE can only be done if Africans CONTROL AS A GROUP the following resources:

[charbonelle]

@kirundo1 The Political Identity of Africa as we know it today got its influence from the Africans living in the Diaspora. Men who have fought for all the virtues that you speak of about Rwanda where articulated over 100 years ago

[charbonelle]

Paul Kegame received a tremendous amount of financial assistance from external sources to finance the conflict in eastern Congo which created debt for Rwanda not in the form of AID but in the form of budgetary deficits caused by military expenditures, that will be paid for by the Rwandan tax payer to INTERNATIONAL PRIVATE BANKS.

-This has been done in MANY WESTERN NATIONS especially the US.

[GBAYA]

Do some research on Kagame's role as a puppet of the west to destabilize Congo, the massacres of Rwandan Hutu refugees...before making such statement. Always beware of people that are highly praised by the west, specially the U.S.

[GerudoUK]

Israel controls US foreign policy.

[msquestionmark]

finally a well meaning, good president in Africa

[Braets]

@msquestionmark Please do som research about Kagame before saying he's a good president.

[kirundo1]

@Braets

I did some research about Kagame and found that he's the only African president with self confidence, uncorrupt, entrepreneur and pregmatic. I don't think he's perfect person, but has led his country out of hell to road of success.

[eriblood]

What people don't understand is that the Western world wants to keep Africa in a 3rd world content status, I know it sounds strange but i did some extensive research about it. The NWO is the problem!

[kirundo1]

@eriblood

You're totally wrong. Western world can keep some Africans in a 3rd world status, not all Africans. If you're smart in controlling your self, then no one can control you. Stop blaming Westerners and take control of your future. Rwanda in the only contry in Africa that does not cry recism or colonialism as a major handicap for progress.

[raptorkiller2k5]

@eriblood. It's due to resources. The masses and their policymakers in the West think that there can only be a limited number of people in the middle class. For that reason the "overpopulation" myth is all over, esp aid agencies.

The truth is, population density and consumption use per capita is very low. The density is much higher elsewhere, and per capita consumption is ridiculously high (and exaggerated) in the West. Much of the resources used just ends up in the garbage dump.

[MrStrawhatlegend]

@eriblood It's highly probable

[dingdong988]

Your Excellency Kagame, allow me now to mention that you are my role model. I wish all african politicians were as sensible, confident and consequential as you are! I just wish I could work with you. You have the best attitude. I do love your ideas 100% though i'm not from your country. Don't give up, Paul! Dont mind other african leaders with such low self esteem, they could never say "no" even if someone wanted 2 buy their whole countries & resources. I Love you, man!

[Braets]

@dingdong988 There is NO freedom of speech in Rwanda. I want you to know that.

[kirundo1]

@Braets I

I'm Rwandan and freedom of speech in not in the top 10 list of my priorities. We Rwandans don't need the kind of freedom of speech you have in America or Europe. What you have is freedom of speech based on empty minds. Most of you can not even speak your own local language properly, and those who would, could not write it grammatically correct. Freedom of speech for what? for better character or worse one???hey, let me know

[gkgreger]

The auto worker, nurse, doctor, fire fighter, Farmer, small business owner & manager, steel worker, teacher, musician, construction worker, life guard, electrician, bus driver & mail man, are allot more valuable & contribute a whole lot more to us in society than this ever sucking super rich class of parasitic Capitalists. Global Free Trade Capitalism has failed! It must be replaced with the REAL American System of Economy. Google: LPACTV Cancel the Debt or Cancel the Country

[meleszenawi1111]

This line of thinking is just one of many of the new african leaders. If you think africa is screwed up look at the latest growth figures most and not only that many are growing in other sectors besides the primary (Rwanda, Ethiopia, Senegal, Uganda, Mozambique, Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania)

[Pmashami]

This man is Amazing...different from a lot of leaders

[andyly0071]

even the US and Britsh are begging the chinese for hlep, sad ehm?

[barlog20]

Africa`s screwed up cause of the puppets the US/British put in those countries.They give most their natural resources to white corporations that control the U.S/British which is mainly the Rothschild family.The U.S/British also instigate the civil wars and arm both sides to get Africans to kill eachother so they wont unite to take down their crooked governments and take back their resources.

[kirundo1]

@barlog20

That's what Kagame responded to Farees Zakaria about China controlling Africa. If China controls Africa, then it's your problem because you can not control your self. If US/Brits control you, it's because you're stupid. We Rwandans don't believe that any one can control us, we believe in our selves and that's why we manage well whatever little we have. Stop blaming Westerners because by doing so, you admit that you're a stupid idiot who can not control things

[papicooler]

yes ! kagame can make it becouse he is a leader with a vision , he knows what to do . i support him 100 percent .

[desirejoseph26]

I pray Dr Dambisa Moyo is elected in Africa as a Leader,Africa needs her!

[taflanzerigan]

african countires are now realising, that aid is not the solution,and i hope Rwanda sticks to this idea, my

country Eritrea, who is the youngest country in Africa, has already implimented this idea and has refused aid, saidly other countries were not suportive of our idea of sel-relaint b4, but

now they r starting to realise,also Dambisa Moyo has been helpful in geting

the worlds atentions, heres something interesting to watch

"Eritrea - Isaias Afewerki in 1974 (Self Reliance)."

[charbonelle]

@taflanzerigan

Look-up Thomas Sankara's speeches about getting off aid and self-reliance he did it in burkina faso in the 1980's but was assassinated by one of the men in his army with the assistance of the french government.

[steve0281]

He certainly looks and sounds like he is on the right track.

[ODNAbc]

Great stuff, i like the look of the new leadership coming out of Africa . that includes you Dambisa, keep up the good work.

[bumisworld]

Ruanda is one of 53, (including Ghana )trying and succeeding in progressing a country which was always beautifull, but unfortunetly had tribal devisions
