CNN interview with President Kagame

Rwanda's President Paul Kagame did an interview this week with CNN's Christine Amanpour.



Here's the link to the video and the article. It's a short interview, only a few minutes, and very interesting to hear how our President responds.

She asked him some direct questions about supporting the M23 rebels in Congo, what he thinks should be done about the Congo situation, and also his views about some Western countries withholding aid from Rwanda. She also asks him about his intent to step aside when his term is through in a few years. Many view Kagame as Africa's best President, but there are others who have a different view of him. It's true, he has accomplished a lot, and Rwanda has made remarkable strides in everything from education, to road construction to women's empowerment, since the 100 days' genocide in 1994. However, there are other less positive views of Kagame's leadership. We can only hope that all of his progress and success will continue in Rwanda in the future!
