        How can Kagame be so weak. Thought he's a strong man. Such a young lady is giving him sleepless night.

        You have a right to an opinion. But that does not mean your judgement is appropriate. Especially when you let it get blinded by emotions.

        No. But if your opponents say you are a killer, it does not make you one.
