        It depends on how do you define freedom . Which would you chose ? Libya , Syria and Iraq with foreign freedom or Rwanda with a dictator ???

        This litany of racist prejudices backed by empty claims is a shame for BBC although it won't even have the wherewithal to feel ashamed

        Literally, Kagame is in a one man's race. He technically knocked off all threats in several ways. The BBC put it much better!

        Maybe Rwanda is sure of what it is getting. But for many of us, lack of freedom does not come with stability or growth. So why trade?

        soberness in politics is key. Africa States are failing miserably coz of the manipulation through political weaknesses by the west.

        Rwanda has managed soberness in politics. And the economic stability/growth is evident. A state needs peace to thrive.
