Another African Dicktator
From IFEX:
Rwandan President Paul Kagame won another seven-year term in elections on 9 August, after already being in power for 15 years. He captured 93 percent of the vote by banning opposition parties and eliminating critical domestic news coverage, report Human Rights Watch, Reporters Without Borders (RSF), the Committee to Protect Journalists and other IFEX members. In the months leading up to election-day, the government systematically shut down news outlets and terrorised critical journalists into fleeing the country.

Where did u get this??
Please avoid hearsays. I am rather seeing people improving their lives by earning more income. People here are busy working hard, kids are going to school and almost 100% of Rwandan we all have health care insurance. I am intellectual, but what you mean by “Freedom of expression” has been only insulting president of republic, nothing more. No serious news or serious documentory, nothing only bad journalists heating us with hot patatoes of “news”. People need to shut up and work hard. We don’t eat gossip here. If Kagame is “Dicktator” then fine with me, at least I am learning discipline at work, am learning to deliver what I am supposed to deliver and cut down time spent on gossip and am improving my skills as academician. I think that I have to participate in my country development by working and delivering but not TALKING!!! Rwandans are busy working, give them peace.

Can’t you read? It comes from Human Rights Watch, Reporters Without Borders (RSF), and the Committee to Protect Journalists. Hmmm. Never heard of them? If you want a head of state who believes in staying in power for as many terms as he likes, good luck to you, you’ll need it. Goodbye and goodnight.

IFEX, Rwandans know what they want and they have spoken and disproved the Human rights watch.
HRW, am afraid they may be tending to go out the context of human rights meaning. The rwandan human rights is what they have expressed and achieved with Paul Kagame in this journey of recovery. How come you dont talk about the mexico situation, colombia etc. What about Zimbabwe down there where you are. Forget you nonsense business cannot change the minds of Rwandans neither influence the legitimate mandate they have given to Paul Kagame.
