This is Africa for you. So it's only him that has all it takes to move Rwanda forward?
What happens tomorrow,if he dies or by any means incapacitated?
He should find out from those who have stayed beyond their welcome in Africa what happened to them.

the dude is a novice compared to Equatorial Guinea's own... who has been in power since 1979.

from 1994 to 2000 kagame was only vice president and the Rwandan president then was Pasteur Bizimungu.

When this happens in your country, you will stand on the mountain top to cry evil, corruption and murder. As long as it's not Nigeria it's ok for you. What an evil thinking and expression
Lol It happens in my country everyday, twice on weekends. Have you forgotten Bola Ige, it wasn't Abacha that killed him, how about Zakibiam and the massacre in Bayelsa? There was this man called Dadiyata that used to attack Elrufai, one day he disappeared. Oga, we, with our four year rotational system perpetrate worse human right violation than Kagame can perpetrate in 10 lifetimes. Did Kagame order agberos to destroy ballot boxes and scare away voter from polling units on election day, did he go about tampering with softwares and data to establish himself as winner? He is too popular to do that. Please, leave the Rwandans alone, they have made their choice and the best we can do is respect it!

TEYA:

If you read the comments I made initially, I said the only people who stand to gain from a rotational system of government are politicians, most of whom are queuing up, waiting for an opportunity to rape the country. When you have a leader who is working hard to fix their country, you are sure to find such desperate politicians fighting them. They are not necessarily fighting for the well being of the country, they just want to have their own opportunity to rule for the sake of ruling. They opposed Gaddafi, they opposed Mao, they opposed Lee Kwan Yew and Kagame is not going to be an exception. In all these cases, they were dealt with decisively. When you lead for decades, the west will even support some of these people to stage coups against you, or if you show signs of weakness, they may arm them to rebel against you, when they fail, you will see them using Human Rights Watch and The Guardian to call you names, but the JAMB question is do the country men /women of these leaders want them in power? If they are rated high by their people, they should continue leading. If China or Singapore etc had succumbed to the allegation of human rights violation, their countries wouldn't be where they are today. Lee Kwan Yew jailed journalists and locked up opponents and Mao killed opponents too, but for the greater good of their countries.
The west who you admire are not saints, there are human rights violations they perpetrate too. Edward Snowden and Julian Assange are in exile today and we know why. What about Guantanamo bay and Iraq? They should stop disturbing us with unsolicited lectures on upholding human rights.

I dont admire the west. They are hypocrites. But that does not mean we should support African sit-tightism.

Tell me a single Nigerian President that has stayed on the seat for up to a decade at a time?
Military or civilian?

Are his human rights abuses working? Is his determination to be a life president beneficial for democracy? Can you defend the particular issue of this opposition leader being barred from elections? Dont you know that such things simmer and will lead to an explosion?
Of course they are, Rwanda is making huge progress in the positive direction. I have seen from online comments that he is popular on Rwanda. Rwanda is one of the topmost tourist destinations in Africa. I don't give a damn about opposition leaders when the person in power is achieving results. As far as I am concerned, he or she may be a stooge, supported by the west. Afterall, the west supported opposition in Libya, see where it's now, the ousted Milton Obote and replaced him with Idi Amin (just imagine), they killed Thomas Sankara and replaced him with Blaise Campore who raped his country for almost 30 years under the supervision of France who were just sent out of Burkina Faso. Please I am tired, we can go on till tomorrow. We want good go ernance, it is what we should be clamouring for not the rights of opposition leaders to contest.

That's exactly what works for Africa, especially when the president is doing a great job.


THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

TO HELL WITH THE GARBAGE WESTERN SYSTEM.

HERE IN AFRICA WE HAVE PRACTICED MERITOCRACY FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

Meaning if a leader is doing well, YOU DO NOT REMOVE HIM until he is physically/mentally unable to perform his functions.

Term limits are UNAFRICAN.

I support KAGAME.

He should not allow any stupid western - controlled BITCH to come and scatter the good work he has done in Rwanda.

What we should clamour for is Africa's progress and the prosperity of her people, and if sit-tightness is the way out, then so be it. It worked for China, Malaysia, Singapore and is working for Rwanda. Where a sit tight leader is working against his people, we should condemn it but where he is achieving results, like the case is with Kagame, he should've be applauded.

We are talking about Kagame and Rwanda, let's stick to that. Kagame is working, Rwandans are happy, we should stop trying to fix what isn't faulty!

Africa has been ''suffering'' because SLAVES LIKE YOU have forgotten who you are, and are desperately trying to be white men in black skin.

RUBBISH.

When Africa was on top of the world for thousands of years when whites were still in their caves, AFRICANS had no term limits for their leaders. If you did well, you remained the leader INDEFINITELY.

If you did badly, you would be toppled by your Council of Chiefs.

Africa will suffer for centuries because of folks like you that have acquired education but have insisted on allowing the west to dictate your line of thought. Emancipate yourselves from nei-colonial slavery.

So emancipation from neo colonial slavery means Kagame rules till his death right? And bans his oppostion. Are you drunk?
