        Paul Kagame is the President of Rwanda and Chairperson of The African Union. He also served as commander of the Rwandan Patriotic Front, the military force that ended the genocide in 1994.

        A deep thank you HE @PaulKagame . We are grateful for all what you have done to ensure a deep & real reconciliation in our beloved country after the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi & we know that it has no equivalent anywhere. Now the world knows how to do it. So no more excuses

        Nice piece on Rwanda! We @gorilladoctors work closely with Kagame in our work to save endangered gorillas from injury and illness. We'd love to share our work and perhaps host you at our headquarters, located in Musanze, Rwanda, a 30-minute drive from Volcanoes National Park.

        Proud as I am of Kagames achievements, lets not forget the sordid treatment he’s handed out to any opposition (especially female) since taking over power and his many human rights abuses. If historys taught us anything, its that at the end of the day, a darling tyrant is a tyrant

        All that is unsubstantiated reports from the western media because they they don’t like a wise African who will challenge their status quo
