        #Rwanda has made remarkable progress in the fight against extreme poverty. Let Rwandans define what freedom means to them

        I think @BBCAfrica should look back into it's archives on how it pushed the agenda against Libya and look at Libya today.

        President Kagame is doing great and wish Kenya would have a leader like him, this democracy you keep talking about is flawed for a fact

        Apparently you seem not to see the good qualities in a leader factoring in Africa we need a leader with a firm stance

        Stability/peace built on fear, suppression of dissent and outright elimination of opponents(quick sand) isn't sth to be proud about, is it?

        Yes, absolutely! I'd trade in a 100 GEJs & Buharis for one Gaddafi. Democracy hasn't exactly benefitted the people of Africa.

        Freedom as defined by who? Freedom is subjective.
