Twenty-five years on from the genocide in Rwanda that saw as many as one million people slaughtered, FRANCE 24 interviews President Paul Kagame, alongside EU Development Commissioner Neven Mimica, at the European Development Days event in Brussels.
In the last quarter-century, Rwanda's people, economy and development have moved on from the killings to such a point that the country is often held up to other nations undergoing conflict, violence and political turmoil as a positive example.
However, as Rwanda's GDP per capita is ranked 36th in Africa at $2,081*, government investments such as the multimillion-pound sponsorship of the UK's Arsenal Football Club have raised questions about Kigali's development investment strategy.
Meanwhile, human rights concerns remain: the European Union's 2018 human rights report highlights "serious violations of civil and political rights". FRANCE 24 asks President Kagame why his response to this report is that it is "ridiculous".
And as the EU Commission prepares to renew itself, we ask what priorities the European Union has for development as a whole, and for Rwanda specifically.

[@satisfysmack9935]

In order for a solution to be found a problem has to be pointed out or else there will be no solution. The implication is most of the time those accusations (human rights abuses) are brought up they lack examples when they were done or the circumstance around incidents that may be perceived as such. As far as Rwanda and Rwandan leaders are concerned they feel like they have taken a strong stance against human rights abuses. Imagine the place the country was starting from the year 1959-1994 the Human rights abuses were at an all-time high especially the persecution and discrimination of the Tutsi( social class). You have to understand that Rwanda and the people of their diaspora where ever they might be, have a history and this has to be considered or anyone can invent a context and choose to interpret however they choose appropriate for their intentions. We have seen what Belgium was able to do (issuing identity cards and instigating hate using false rhetoric among the uneducated masses ) and France (France standing a watch during the genocide, arming, training, and aiding the pro genocide government in the battlefield and financially ) the same people questioning Rwanda about Human rights abuses after solving the problems they created this seems quite cynical(maybe another methodology for the 21st century of staying relevant and maintaining influence/control ). Rwanda has taken strong and proper stances against human rights abuses for all its people regardless of class and gender, Like removing the identity cards that allowed discrimination, providing education to the masses both regarding society and sciences, women empowerment in all aspects of society where Rwanda shines the most in the world and many more things I wish I had time to list. On top of that Rwanda is an open and safest country in the world where anyone can come in and look for themselves when the journalist claim otherwise without pointing at a particular example with circumstance around it they are just being intellectually lazy but I hope people can see where the frustration is with President Paul Kagame

cold patch Regarding this so called "human development" I think you should actually visit Rwanda (and not the potemkin village known as Kigali...go to the slums and vilages) the talking to the villagers wont get you any truth because people are scared to death of kagames spies) May be you should cross over to neighboring Uganda particularly the refugee camp of Nakivale where half a million Rwandese refugees are stuck living in squalor unable to take part of this so called development utopia. (If that trip proves too costly then read those reports cited in this video and tell me how shooting people so hungry they are stealing bananas to survive translates as human development) Take a look at Syria, Venezuela Libya, Iraq, (heck even Uganda early seventies under Idi Amin was one of the most advanced nations in Afica,) that used to boast of development statistics far superior to Rwanda and all reduced to rabble. Only fools look at bricks and mortar and conclude a country is developing. Realists look at the most down trodden, the in a country, they look at justice, they look at the law they focus on human rights. The most developed countries in the world coincidentally have the best human rights records and justice systems that are the foundation of human development. The least developed are the ones with the worst human rights records and almost all have some brutal dictator pretending to be looking out for the interests of his people while murdering all who disagree with him.

That's not a fair characterization of her. Could she have handled this better? Yes. Was she petty? No. Since when is asking relevant question about a country's human rights record 'petty'? Kagame's style of authoritarian rule has done wonders for the country. It has brought both political and economic stability, and Rwanda couldn't have done better under any other leader. Nonetheless, the man is no saint. The country is not perfect. It seems to me a reasonable question to bring up in a discussion about the country's development goals to also talk about human right violations i.e: political dissenters being jailed, businesses being hijacked by the ruling party (FPR), journalists being shutdown etc

In order for a solution to be found a problem has to be pointed out or else there will be no solution. The implication is most of the time those accusations (human rights abuses) are brought up they lack examples when they were done or the circumstance around incidents that may be perceived as such. As far as Rwanda and Rwandan leaders are concerned they feel like they have taken a strong stance against human rights abuses. Imagine the place the country was starting from the year 1959-1994 the Human rights abuses were at an all-time high especially the persecution and discrimination of the Tutsi( social class). You have to understand that Rwanda and the people of their diaspora where ever they might be, have a history and this has to be considered or anyone can invent a context and choose to interpret however they choose appropriate for their intentions. We have seen what Belgium was able to do (issuing identity cards and instigating hate using false rhetoric among the uneducated masses ) and France (France standing a watch during the genocide, arming, training, and aiding the pro genocide government in the battlefield and financially ) the same people questioning Rwanda about Human rights abuses after solving the problems they created this seems quite cynical(maybe another methodology for the 21st century of staying relevant and maintaining influence/control ). Rwanda has taken strong and proper stances against human rights abuses for all its people regardless of class and gender, Like removing the identity cards that allowed discrimination, providing education to the masses both regarding society and sciences, women empowerment in all aspects of society where Rwanda shines the most in the world and many more things I wish I had time to list.

We have seen what Belgium was able to do (issuing identity cards and instigating hate using false rhetoric among the uneducated masses ) and France (France standing a watch during the genocide, arming, training, and aiding the pro genocide government in the battlefield and financially ) the same people questioning Rwanda about Human rights abuses after solving the problems they created this seems quite cynical(maybe another methodology for the 21st century of staying relevant and maintaining influence/control ). Rwanda has taken strong and proper stances against human rights abuses for all its people regardless of class and gender, Like removing the identity cards that allowed discrimination, providing education to the masses both regarding society and sciences, women empowerment in all aspects of society where Rwanda shines the most in the world and many more things I wish I had time to list. On top of that Rwanda is an open and safest country in the world where anyone can come in and look for themselves when the journalist claim otherwise without pointing at a particular example with circumstance around it they are just being intellectually lazy but I hope people can see where the frustration is with President Paul Kagame.

"Who are you?" That question rattled the dingbat of a interviewer. The confused and defeat look on her silly face was priceless. My respect for Paul Kagame has notched up a million times. That reporter should be schooled on how to be open-minded when conducting interviews.

@Nunix See, it is so easy to sit behind a screen and vilify or push an absurd false agenda just like this interviewer was trying to do. The disrespect and bias was top-notch in these 25 minutes and you condoning that type of behavior and unprofessionalism says a lot about you as a person. Then again, he did talk about superiority complex didn’t he? H.E. Paul Kagame has fought for Rwandan human rights from trenches to negotiation tables. The ascending development indicators are a proof of that. Freedom, political stability, gender equality, Medical access, education, food security,...are all rights that Rwandans deserve and have been ( and are still being) granted through this man. And those other abuses that you are talking about... well, me and other 11+ million of Rwandans can testify of the absurdity of these claims. I would suggest that you review the agenda of those pushing that human rights abuse narrative, and while you’re at it, probably ask genuine questions to the same Rwandans YOU are trying to victimize. Of course, that’s if you are interested in learning and not bandwagoning on this false « sheepy sheep » (your words) narrative. Governance has no one formula. But Rwandans CHOSE a type of it that works for Rwandans with H.E Paul Kagame as the head of state for as long as we want and he can. If that doesn’t float your boat, well, we will sip on our tea regardless.

@Nunix have you been to Rwanda? It the most united, colorful, and peaceful country on this continent. I just don't understand why white people are so eager to speak for us. even if we don't have any problems. And that lady was rude, mean, biased, and disrespectful to our president which is unacceptable.
