Dear president Kagame of Rwanda there is more with you than against you not everybody is going to like you not everybody is going to appreciate your hard work much respect to you sir and your country and I'm praying for you from the Bahamas
Hard work? Can you name few…
@@josephodonnell7850 Bla bla bla! Actually your name is " O' Something!", how much do you know about Rwanda, really?
I grew up in the Tanzanian and Rwandan border, though i was just a kid in 1994, i still remember seeing millions of refugees pouring into our Tanzanian side of the border, seeing dead bodies in the ruvuvu river, these guys have done a great job for Rwanda who knew Rwanda would be stable now. For the people who did not see the genocide they wont understand, Salute to president Kagame and his RPF comrades
It’s great to have peace in the region but not at the expense of your neighbours, people are dying every day in Congo, women raped etc , by forces supported by Kagame
@@uncleKas dont mislead people is kagame president of congo? They should solve their problem not Rwanda to solve congolese problems dear ,so problems since before is persons who have same views like you
@@gakiremark7310 it is not a DRC problem. The FLDR fighters are not Congolese, but Rwandans who belong to the majority Hutu tribe. Paul Kagame does not want to allow them back to Rwanda. How is that a Congo problem? He is willing to welcome immigrants from the UK and Danemark, but not his own people who have been in the DRC for almost 30 years. How is that a Congo problem if you look at this matter fairly?
@@2plus8egal10 what are on about? There is literally a DDR program that has received tens of thousands of ex-FDRL. And to this day they are allowed to come home. What’s not allowed is bringing back Hutu power ideology, which those who have refused to return have. Some go as far as saying they won’t step in Rwanda until no single Tutsi is standing. FDRL is a genocidal group. It’s members have been allowed to come home and many have. Records are there. Look up gen. Rwarakabije who was ex FDRL and is now an RDF general. The fault lies with DRC govt for haboring these groups along with the 120 others that occupy its territory
@@2plus8egal10 those morons don't deserve to come back they have commited a genocide
Kagame makes valid points. His first being that an entire situation must be assessed before you can conclude. His second being that foreign countries concept of democracy is not a gold standard. Countries can form their own versions. And his third comment is that other countries must respect the sovereign rights and choices that citizens of each country decides upon. If the Rwandans form or version of Democracy equals a president can have as long a term as he is elected too, that is Rwanda's decision to make, not Europe, and certainly not the US. Western countries need to leave their imperialists views at home.
he makes no valued points my friend, his clearly support a terrorist group to destabilize Congo
Don’t you think after 25 years it been assessed ? The man is guilty of terrorising his neighbour
People and other countries that speak against Paul kagame are jjealous of the progress that Rwanda is making. A lot of respect is coming to Jamaica . God bless . Paul kagame.
Facts brother it’s blatant to see. Only colonialists and self hating Africans are hating on rwanda and kagame
A terrorist who killed millions of Congolese in DRC and looted their resources to rebuild kigali.
One love brother 🇯🇲🇷🇼 🙏🏿
As an indigenous Congolese I'll tell you I'm very proud of what president Paul Kagame has done to his country. But for the looks of it, it's that the US and the West have worked with him and Ugandan president Museven for long and now they're done and want to find other alternatives. And so, they're criticizing him and accusing him for negative aspects they've been working on together on.
@@jaylove4358 you are not congolais because you are praising the devil Kagame who lied about the Rwandan GENOCIDE 1994 and Kagame Paul massacred 18 millions of Congolese in DRC! Shame on you!!
He stands like the brave with his face to the foe.🇯🇲
🇺🇬 spot on. Small in stature but very brave....
I am from the UK. This man is one of the few global leaders that I believe and would trust to lead. Respect 🙏
Holy Molly
Africa should launch a TV station such as Rt or BBC, to broadcast worldwide so as to showcase the truth about Africa to the world... western media tend to be biased
Fight propaganda with propaganda, right?
@@saminator43 correct sir!
@@saminator43 what a smart brain
They do have channels - Nigeria- Ghana- Senegal-Libya-Pretoria etc! Gravitas India broadcasts African content to!
@@saminator43
Not necessarily but the West needs some different kind of education as far as thinking about Africa is concerned!
Rwandan's view here 👉: We don't care who is on chair or how long he'll last, all we care about is what he does. I tell you, this man works and where he's taking Rwanda is where rwandans want to be. so u westerners mind ur business, we don't owe you any explanation. that time is done.
Unfortunately, admit it here or not, you do.
Is it ok to build your country with the blood of your neighbor brothers ? . Stealing isn’t building. So get your facts straight.
@@talented569 no we don't
Absolutely! 100 President Kagame is the winning factor.
Kabisa well said ❤️
Angela Markel was Chancellor of Germany for 16 years, Benjamin Netanyahu was PM of Israel for 15 years, Queen Elizabeth has been queen for 70 years. But in Africa it's where they draw the line.
Thank you
@@sandraanders3721 You're absolutely right
For People who say Rwandans hate Congolese. Come in Rwanda and see Congolese who work in Rwanda. They are leaving peacefully, personally I have Congolese friends in Kigali.
I’m congolese I lived in Rwanda for 15 years it’s a wonderful country, they respect congolese people, Kagame did a great job I wish he was our president
They are trying by all means to divide us as Africans. love from South Africa.
Rwandans don’t hate the Congolese. It’s the other way around. I’m also Congolese so I’d like to apologise since it’s an unfair hatred. My girlfriend is Rwandese.
Come to Congo and see the killings Rwandan have been doing in Congo against Congolese.
@@changingmentality626 notice how nobody responded to you because they know it’s true
Rwanda is now one of the best countries in Africa under president paul Kagame ticking all the boxes of a country that is on a path to greatness . Why does the west always think that their so call democracy must work for everyone? If his leadership works his for country he can be there for ever . Rwanda does not need a leader who will be manipulated by the west to cause endless wars like what is now happening in Libya.
China is not democratic but is doing exceptionally well . Why don’t you go and ask for power change in China?
Rubbish.. A diehard dictator.. How's it that someone from a minority tribe rulling for 20 years and counting and you call that democracy. It's just a matter of time before this thing explodes. And he is bringing foreigners as refugees to reduced the strength of the other major tribe. Unfortunately, it's these foreign nationals will in the end become targets when the whole thing blow up...

It's the only thing bearing semblance to their system of slavery/colonialism which they can rely on. So they try all their best to force it on every nation so they can operate freely and drain energy, resources and freedoms of humans.

Agree with all answers : President Paul KAGAME is one of Leaders who knows well the path to take for progress and development for Rwanda and rwandans yes.
he must allow his citizens in the DRC to return to Rwanda, even if they are hutus.
Long live Our President, I am proud to be Rwandan because of His Work.

Paul KAGAME is uneducated and Dumb!!
The Greatest President Of All Time🌍, i wouldn't mind if he ruled for life,he has achieved great success in Africa & Rwanda✊👏
He is killing 🇨🇩
Big lie. Congo is suffering and he is part of it
Illusions. Poverty in Rwanda is higher than in all its neighbours. How is that a great success? Kigali is not Rwanda.
I like the way president Kagame articles not only his personal intent, rather that of the people of Ruanda. Yes, he has been in authority for unusually long in authorirty, as defined by a democracy in the West.
On the surface and beneath, he is firm and focused on the sovereignty of his country and its people.
Politics is complex and I believe that he is well positioned to stay on course toward a more politically stable country and a sovereign state.
I have a question to ask President Kagame in line with the recent and past conflicts in the DRC. He has claimed so many times that the conflicts in the DRC is among Congolese. He has denied any involvement of the Rwandan regime in backing up the M23 rebels, implying that these are Congolese fighting other Congolese. But why is he in the forefront, speaking for and claiming to give orders to M23, if he is not the power behind or supporting M23, occupying Bunagana and destabilizing the Eastern part of DRC in general?
During the time of AFDL rebellion that brought the now late Laurent Désiré Kabila to power, we saw the now Kabila as a Congolese talking to the late President Mobutu under the mediation of the late President Mandela.
If President Kagame is not the mastermind behind the conflict in the DRC, he should limit his involvement in the regional talks, either under the East African Community (EAC), the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) or even under the African Union (AU).
By his forefront involvement in talks that negate his denials, he seems to be now like the default spokesperson of the M23. Where is the leader of the M23 if it is not him?
president paul kagame killed this interview thanks alot.
Am a Ugandan, but I Love his excellence Paul Kagame for his good temper and discipline.
Tayebwa you are a rwandis you are just refuge in Uganda tell the Truth as always you heat truth that's why Congo has got problems because of you Tutsis
Because you're Tayebwa a Rwandese refugee in Uganda that's what you have to say , you rwandese must vacate UGANDA at all costs
I love this great leader
Our hearts love u more than we love ourselves our PK
I love me some Paul Kagame. These reporters come prepackaged and never analyze the content of their packages. They repeat what their "intelligence " services tells them about a person or country, and when the person tries to educate them they look confused like this journalist from France.
Dear Mr. PRRSIDENT, Please be aware that RWANDA'S progress is projecting a bad image of AFRICAN possibilities as was that of HAITI which continues to be punished in the worst manner by western nations nations, simply for being a BAD EXAMPLE that other BLACK NATIONS may wish to follow.
Be VERY CAREFUL SIR.
Our President 💙 Period !!!! 🇷🇼
A terrorist who killed 18 millions of Congolese in DRC and looted 🇨🇩.
Congratulations to President Paul Kagame for his resolve and fair answers; and to Mr Pearlman for his journalist professionalism. Some points on our western biases: 1)There would have been no criticism if the UK had done the immigrants deal with a western country. Why?
2) Why Rwanda and Africa have to follow the rules of some other country. After all, for example in USA there are no terms limits for influential and powerful people such as Supreme Court Judges, senators or congressmen
Pres. Kagame to Rwandans voting him means voting for variety of many things like electricity, healthy, security, advanced technology, education, global partnership, food sufficiency and so many things...we pray he may agree for Rwandans to vote him for more years❤️🇷🇼❤️
Yes👍 we are more than ready to vote for him come what may 💯💯
Kagame will lose the elections in 2024 and the Congolese will take revenge! Keep dreaming, Kagame Paul is finished!!
His a very smart president i been listen to him for a long time. I wish my country Haiti 🇭🇹 have a president like Him.
You don’t know who you talk about!!
President P. Kagame accuses D.R. Congo of hosting the FDLR. However, unlike Rwanda, Congo has no plan to invade Rwanda. The FDLR are just as dangerous to Congolese people as they are to Rwanda. What D.R. Congo needs is a strong leader who will stop the FDLR, fight M23 - Rwanda, and all those who invest in destabilizing peace in Congo. The time is near when Congolese people will live in peace.
The problem is the foreign companies in Congo .looting the natural resources. Causing destructions as we speak. And we are busy with our brothers in Ruwanda what is wrong with us . Ruwanda is part of Congo and Congo is part of Tanzania and Tanzania is part of Kenya Uganda and Burundi 🇹🇿 so shouldn't we protect our resources and fight the colonialists who are milking our raw materials.
Peace is inevitable. WE ARE ONE. KAGAME IS THE THREAT TO COLONISERS and that is the truth
Time surely is nearby and all our enemies will fall.
@@kawiche4911 You're right. The foreign companies play just as the same role as the Rwandan M23. You will not understand what is wrong until when your brother will accept bribe from an outsider to poison you.
Kagame makes everyone believe that all Rwandan refugees in the DRC are FDLR. The majority are ordinary citizens who arrived as babies, young people, who have nothing to do with politics. They have every right to return to the land of their fathers.
@@2plus8egal10 There is wisdom in what you say! I still don't understand why Rwanda wants to be the major enemy of Congo. Millions of people flee every day because of President Kagame's hatred toward the Congolese people. The best leaders are those who value love and relationships over material gains and bribes.
You are the ones messed up the whole situation when your ancestors sat in Berlin to divide Africa the way they want regardless of languages and cultures which are the key identities of any society.
The fact that there are people speaking Kinyarwanda, behaving like Rwandans will always cause problems.
Leave Kagame alone
People who speak Kinyarwanda in Congo are immigrants and not indigenous to Congo. STOP the lies.
All archives and history teaches us that there were no Banyarwanda tribe in the area that became Congo in 1885 neither in 1908. Although there might have been some individuals who were in the area, they started crossing in Congo in the 1890 because of the wars of Conquest of king Kigeri Rwabugiri IV.

It's all about the people
Truth be said how does the rebels gain access to high caliber war equipment including tankers if not from Congos neighbors.Im from 🇰🇪 bt it's simple logic you don't have to be a local to see that either Rwanda or Uganda has to be involved.They must be gaining something and if Rwanda is mentioned then they are involved.
I'm begining to doubt the recent announcement on discovery of gold in Uganda could be they are looking for marked for Congos gold without being questioned on the source.
Kagame protecting Rwanda from DRC problem spilling over into Rwanda
DRC has several armed groups supported by the West.
I thought the Monarch stayed out of politics
Please, better questions next time from Frannce24. Do some research!
Mr. Kagame, why do you think most people blame Rwanda for the instabilities of the Drc Congo, not any other country?
Kagame constantly evades answering direct questions. He is a champion with whataboutism.
whataboutism or I-don'tknowtism!!! well said
Kagame is a murderer thug bully and responsible for the genocide of 1994
HE DOESN'T NEED TO ANSWER THESE HYPOCRITICAL WHITE EUROPEANS....THEY ARE JUST I'M JEALOUS OF RWANDA'S GROWTH AND BEAUTY...LOL🥱
He’s not falling for no trick questions. So smart
He escaped the question, Kagame is M.23
Someone who is listening attentively

Let me explain.... May you please let me finish. That is a true leader! A good character to tell.
I love his intellect and composure
Arms dealers are more than interested in conflict. Always remember that !
2909 it was supposed to be kind of like a manufacturers assistance program so that we could all know all of the pieces easier because there are so many pieces to these systems
I like president Kagame, honest and forthright.
He is a Génocidaire and a murder!
2434 yes that's why we wanted to just give them the structures so they could build them where they were at as well as to bring in trained professionals to get them trained so they can keep the facilities maintained

Thank you very much your excellences for convincing that journalist
Assume there are 1000 of them so it means for each person they get 140k what a sweet deal!
We Rwandans made our choices. Our President H.E Paul Kagame is our choice and excellent choice for that matter. How long he stays is our sovereign right. None but Rwandans have that prerogative. None asked when we were being butchered in 1994, he rose and put an end to genocide. We are steadily developing. Please respect the people of Rwanda and keep quiet when it comes to our choices.
Who is the most prominent opposition leader in Rwanda?
Well said Kagame the SIMBA Of EAC he is our salvation to ECONOMICAL FREEDOM. IN AFRICA
This guy is smart, all he answered is to teach him 😅
People who witnessed Congolese massacre will always hate Kagame.

remy byiringiro, I too have noticed this, these imperialists never ask about our welfare as Africans. It is always about democracy or elections or opposition figures. It is never about basic needs. I don't trust them or their treacherous African collaborators.
