That is serious.

He has been the Rwanda President since 1994 after the genocide.

You may be right but from what I have just check again, the man will be 30 years next year since he have leading Rwanda. If his people want him, so be it but we all know how overdo killed Ghadafi of Libya.

benardtotti:


Lee Kwan yu ruled Singapore for 30 years ,let each nation practice the type of system that works , Rwanda is a stable country , he wouldn't have gone far if he had allowed normal democracy especially after the genocide , the west have always hated him but let him continue in power .

Bro that's the problem. Gadafi was a great leader no doubt and stabilized Libya. The issue is greediness. They fail to know that retiring when the ovation is loud is great.
Remember president Nelson Mandela

Lol, no more hiding place for sit-tight presidents and election riggers in Africa. The coup in Gabon has shown that a revolution has started in Africa.

Meanwhile, even though Paul Kagame is also a sit-tight president, he happens to be a good one just like late Ghaddafi. I pray the revolution will first wipe out the wicked ones like Museveni, Biya, Ebola and the rest.

Kagame is anything but a good president. Loads of Rwandese are just intimidated into silence. The nonsense that Kagame is doing, you will be shocked

Kagame decided to Weaken his Own Military, at the expense of Rwanda rather than leave Office - this is the Kagame that Nigerian Governors just traveled several Miles to go and learn "How to run Govts from!"

After 23 years in office and claiming to have to turned Rwanda into Paris and Dubai, he is unable to leave Office for the things he has started to be passed on to the next generation...

His own people re-elected him and non have complained that he's government his bad

Paul Kagame should respect himself and take his leave now. You have been the president of Rwanda since the year 2000, the country is not your property, pass the baton to another person.
23 years is enough. Let others try their best too.

Abi. Na only him fit govern Rwanda ni?

From recent experiences:
- Retiring older generals and promoting younger officers will make the coup happen the faster than stop it. Young enlightened officers are usually revolutionary-minded and have tendencies to take risks to become heroes even when they have no plan for the country.
- Retiring army officers from other tribes and putting officers of your tribe in charge doesn't guarantee that coup won't happen. The head of junta in Guinea was made the head of presidential guard because the ex-president saw him as his brother. Still, he overthrew him to grab power. Ali Bongo was overthrown by his head presidential guard first cousin who shared many corrupt practices with him. So affinity doesn't kill the pursuit of power in men.

So, Paul Kagame should quit seeing himself as messiah and retire to allow Rwanda's democracy to test it self with regular cycles of elections and strengthen. On the other hand, the cabal propping up brain-dead Paul Biya should just call for new elections or watch their backs eternally. The same with Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, Faure Eyedama of Togo, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo and his fat head son of Equatorial Guinea and others.

To avoid coup, just do the right thing:
- Hold credible election.
- Obey the constitution on tenure of office.
- Don't steal money from the public treasury but use it to develop the country.
- Do your best , allow the people chose the next president and hand over power.

Exactly on Kagame and what coup experiences say!

Democracy is not the only system of govt. Saudi doesn't do democracy, neither does UAE. If he is performing, good. I don't know why Africans can't just come up with their own system that works for them.
The so called democracy that we practice in Nigeria, how far?

Have u said same to Saudi Arabia and UAE u all run to?
Is democracy the only system of govt? We change govt here in Nigeria, we don't even have electricity. Africans should preach good governance. The ex chancellor of Germany was in office for 18years.

Please go and study the political structure and set-up. One of it's kind and it's working for them. One moment you saying western political system don't work now you see a hybrid that's working you are accusing him.

A political system functions based on the visionary leader. Rwandians are not complaining, of course there will be disgruntled elements from the time of the civil war. But all the tribal groups see see kagame as the only legitimate person that honestly have their interest. People like you praise Saudi despite how brutally wicked the royal family is.hypocrites
praise Saudi look at this one... What's Rwanda system that only one person is winning... So did Gabon pple not love bongo??

The only problem I see is that Africa might not be ripe for a four years power shift. Consistency is very desirable more so for a young nation. Democracy as practiced by the west is not optimized for the African nation, and I'm not saying military takeover is the way out, but we need a system flexible enough for our unique challenges and suited for our current stage of development

One quote I learnt from a movie that sticks to this day " You either die a hero Or live enough to see yourself become the villain".

He has done good for Rwanda, and should have left when the ovation was loudest. But you now wonder what is it with Africa and sit tight leaders.


Africa needs sit tight leaders... Periodic election like the west is the bane of all our problems.

Libya for example, Gaddafi did so well.
If you know the amount of bribery and settlement Tinubu did to become president, if you know the amount of money Atiku and Obi spent in settlement, if you know the amount Inec embezzled, and if you also know that another 4 years, it would be spent again... you will know why politicians steal for a living.

The can focus on delivering anything to the country, their focus will be on how to rig and settle in next election.

Obviously it is. He has realised the pattern of kicking out sit tight heads of state and he's trying to be ahead of the curve. He doesn't realise that the people he has kicked out are those more comfortable with the situation than those He has left behind.

They'll be even more bile against him now I'm the military. Let's see how this plays out.
