Rwandans are the ones to define their country’s future

Editor,Although I’m British, I have a lot of respect and admiration for President Kagame. He’s to me the best leader in the whole world. His leadership brought Rwanda from the grave back to life. Who has ever pleased everybody in the world? When there is light, those who want darkness are not happy. When it’s dark those who like light are not happy. That’s a fact.

Editor,Although I’m British, I have a lot of respect and admiration for President Kagame. He’s to me the best leader in the whole world. His leadership brought Rwanda from the grave back to life. Who has ever pleased everybody in the world? When there is light, those who want darkness are not happy. When it’s dark those who like light are not happy. That’s a fact.Rwanda, through its bold and innovative leadership, has achieved an incredible progress. Nobody, including those who contributed most to that progress, expected to achieve so much. Of course no one is perfect and the fight for survival and progress is endless, everywhere in the world. May God continue to bless you President Kagame and all the people of good will you lead! John, London,United Kingdom************************Rwanda is going through a rare economic and social transformation, and despite all statistical evidences to back the trend there will always be those who still feel that a "good Africa is one relying on aid”.Seeing that a once a small and irrelevant African state is waking from this "poison” is ruffling a few feathers and these so called UN quangos will do anything to keep the status quo. If devaluing a state’s morals is what’s left, they’ll chew at that, only this time they’ve lived up to their name as a toothless dog. I just hope and believe that when the day comes for our President to consider his options, he doesn’t succumb to these western proxies, rather to the wishes of the Rwandan people.
