The EU still fails to properly recognize the lack of democracy in Rwanda. It's hard to believe, but the KGB and Stasi are peanuts compared to Kagame's policing of the country. Why are people who question his policies still jailed? And why does the EU not care about this? My eyes were opened in November 2007 when visiting Rwanda on a EU parliament job. Asking questions about this in Brussels is still no appreciated. /RF

omg he rocks

[91en]

I don't understand why this man can't get Nobel's Peace Price.

[kirundo1]

every body keeps saying that Rwanda needs this or that! You guys need to get life. those days are over, and no one really gives rat ass about your outdated political predictions. we have had 3 Golden rules that no one else ever had on African continent: Education, Economy, Army. That's why we rebuilt a nation in unprecedented way, when every so-called think-tank had already counted Rwanda out of existance. You people are NAIVE. just wait only 5 years to come, we will be bailing out entire world

[kirundo1]

If it wasn' for Kagame and his well educated and trained Army, this man would never had been in the News, because the killers could have stayed in power just like Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Now every extremist Hutu is of cause angry for losing positions since they have only GED's or High School Diplomas. The sheer level of corruption in previous Hutu government is the cause of their demise. All educated moderate Hutu who were left behind by extremist Hutu, are now in power and happy. Get life

[kirundo1]

Now Hutu extremists want to sit down with Tutsi? After being defeated. Kagame is a Dictator who dictated to have clean water, food security, health care for all, national security like never before. a dictator who dictated to eradicate crime, rape , corruption, and above all: to stop foreign Aid. I beg Americans and Europeans to please change the definition of DICTATOR in their dictionaries, because we now have a solid proof that some times a Dictator is the solution. That's what Africa needs

He is wanted in Rwanda! guys you should not be convinced by people like Rusesabagina who are just manipulative and confused!

[SuperLilyGaga27]

@Briannakeza This guy is not horrible he saved alot of familys just by letting them stay in his hotel he also gave up alot of money that he could have used to save his own family so he is indeed a great man. I have met a person from Rwanda who survived the genocide he had to seperate from his family he still does not know where they are he is currently living in Massachusetts and is currently a student at Umass where he hopes to save lives since he had seen so many taken away. R.I.P

[Briannakeza]

This guy is horrible, who killed hutu?

[VikingSlymer]

I have been to Rwanda and it is a very beautiful country and it is democratic. In my experience critics of rwanda post genocide haven't visited the country and seen the progress, nor have they really seen the problems that truly exist. Look up SIna Girard or how they are doing Radical Terracing. It is easy to criticize them from a far. However, in the USA we still haven't admitted that our treatment of Native Americans was a genocide and race is still an issue.

[satyricon55]

Well genocide was horrible.Do not forget the non action of UN in New York.And France role to arms tutsis.And Sarkosy visiting Rwanda never apologize.International community was a part of those facts.The manager P.R received recognition as a living hero and his dream for Rwanda is waiting.

[Wadhato1]

He says that Tutsis killed Hutus!!

Strange! How many Hutus did the Tutsis kill?

[PATRICELUMUMBAS]

no killing in congo for enjoy in kigali.no no non
