president kagame has a policy where no one can say the word tutsi or hutu but rwandan It's the best policy ever to put in by him.

Kagame is the envy of many...those who came before him managed a genocide, he has managed a social miracle.

this is what i like to see a black african telling the african story

Pretty rich for a channel based out of an absolute monarchy to report on whether another country's leader is authoritarian or not. Pretty rich indeed.

We need this kind of “Dictator “ in Nigeria

I lived in Rwanda for two years , Paul Kagame is a great leader and President and he only but my highest respect and sympathy. African country cleaner than Switzerland and where crime and corruption practically do not exist and where I spent the best two years of my life and where I will probably move back to with my whole family speaks enough about Paul Kagame 💪🏼🇷🇼

A man comes in fix the country bring it back from disaster the people are doing well law and order is restored and now they question if he is a dictator. If he is then the world needs more of him. I hope Belgium is ashamed of what the did to Africa

Am Ugandan but i believe Kagame has Rwanda's good interests at heart Looking towards A united Africa

U need good visionary leadership to stop TRIBALISM.

He has changed Rwanda to us Africans his a great leader,we don't care what you think.

Kagame is my hero for ever! I have lived in Rwanda during its darkest periods of genocide against the Tutsi, and have withnessed incredible improvement beyond expectations!! I live the same village with survivors and killers that I saw my self during the genoccide!! He is a visionary leader ever! I say it not because I read it in UN report or saw it on TV! I experience it in my every day's live. His spirit is in most of the young Rwandans now! That's why we will keep winning, while they keep talking.I always wonder why the west is bothered about him! It's simply because they don't want good thing to last in Africa.

"no press freedom"?? and you are doing your documentary tnere? pls wake up

Western media don't like peace and prospects African country long life to Rwanda peace and love

The international community during the genocide: Lets just ignore what's happening to the people in Rwanda! The international community now: KAGAME, YOU DICTATOR!

wish we had a leader like kagame to sort out somalia. Much respect

Kagame didn’t get Rwanda where it is by being a pushover. when the Hutus were butchering the Tutsis, the West stood aside a watched until Kagame ended it. There’s no tribalism that the colonialists used to divide and conquer them anymore. So they should all keep their noses out of what goes on there. Unity is strength. He who divides you conquers you. Long live Kagame.

This is why I said the Chinese model work for Africa Especially when the leaders have the country best interest in heart Cheers

Kagame is a heavenly given gift to Rwanda.

Tribalism destroyed Somalia so Rwanda 🇷🇼 learned their lessons and don’t want go back

Am against tribalism too!!! NO TO TRIBALISM!!! Hey Ethiopian learn from this lesson and specially who are preaching tribal federalism...

kagame is a good leader. may he lives long and rules with wisdom. african golden stateman😘

We in Haiti would gladly exchange anarchy cough cough "democracy" for a benevolent business minded strong man.

Am sorry to say many African journalists don't are ignorant and are a curse to the development of the continent. I can say boldly that Rwanda won't be the same without the current president.

The spirit of Ubuntu. Africans are the most conciliatory people. The couples story is a lesson to others

I’m traveling as a tourist in Rwanda now, and am impressed, really impressed what Kagame has done to the country. He “inherited” a country in complete and utter disarray, now it’s thriving, well-organized, cleaner than any country in Africa or my own country for that matter (Netherlands), with good infrastructure and developing rapidly, with a GDP per capita twice as high as its neighbour Burundi. Kagame pulled that off for which he deserves a lot of credit.

When the country had serious problems, Where was Europe? Now that the people are sorting themselves out.... The world starts poking its nose.

why do people hate him tho look what he has done for Rwanda and Africa in general

As an American I admire President Kagame. For years I've been telling my friends that we must be more like Asia if America is to succeed in time to come. He was on the same wavelength as me before I was even born. We must support Rwanda if we want Africa to become a great place before we die. I want to explore an Africa where people are living as luxurious lives as us *before I die.*

Why would that journalist publish an article promoting tribalism and division among the people of Rwanda? The country is trying to unify under a common purpose and to propose such a superfluous idea seems like an attempt at igniting conflict. As well, foreign observers saw no reason to intervene during the genocide so why now do they want to interfere and pass judgement on Kagame’s democratically elected government when it’s obvious the positive impact they’ve had on the socio-economic status of the people and the country? It would seem as if these critics would rather see Rwanda in a state of dysfunction and tribal division in order to undermine and exploit its people. May the trap they wish to set for Rwanda be turned their own children.

don't listen about Rwanda only just come and see go and tell, fully peaceful and full of joy

Long live his excellency Paul Kagame God bless him and Rwanda

The west ddnt do anything wen Rwanda was melting down., l dont think they have no right to question Rwanda z democracy .

From the ash of Genocide, Kagame delivered a beautiful and a safe nation to its people, Tutsi and Hutu. It is the best of Africa today. No one can hold the two hated group of people together that one just killed the other nearly one million just yesterday. The world had abandoned Rwanda. Today Rwanda has the most transparent government with the fastest economy of Africa, the fastest internet of Africa.... Kagame has rebuild that nation from the ash of total destruction and build a powerful and healthy nation to his people that he did not differentiate who is Hutu or who is Tutsi. Kagame has a very tough job to deliver to his people the best and has to face the destructive forces that wants to tear this fabric apart using their twisted version of free speech and democracy. They already have democracy. I live in Brazzaville and Kinshasa and I know what corruption and repression are. These are two nations much bigger and much richer than Rwanda and look at how they are now.

Blaming other race is not how Rwanda grows, but how Zimbabwe fails.

While a country needs a good strong opposition for the purpose of checks and balances, I can understand Kegame's trepidation for opposition especially when you know what their agenda is. Rwanda was a two party state when the genocide happened. The world loves Saudi Arabia, Dubai where people are jailed and go missing, the problem is ALWAYS AFRICA. Kagame is doing a good job, African leaders should learn a thing or two from him especially regarding ethnicity. Some of his opponents still want to hold on to hate in the name of journalism. I pray Rwanda does not descend into chaos when he leaves office, that would be a shame.

From a Kenyan perspective, i think Rwanda has made major strides in eradicating tribalism. I wish it were the same in Kenya. We may be the most powerful economy in East Africa but we have alot to learn from Rwanda, and i mean ALOT!

If President Kagame a dictator, then other dictators should carry a different title.. in regard with the Limited Press, in my opinion perhaps it is a good thing as the trauma Rwanda still in ppl mind, no need to trigger hate or anger, if I heard the journalist was publishing an article opposing the 2 ethny who were killing each other, Truly is there a need for that! I guess the President himself is still haunted by the genocide...I believe Paul Kagame have created an Amazing foundation for his country..that where ppl should Focus, watch out for the Best successor not to destroy this legacy.. Much Respect ..

I hope Rwandans are not fooled by the neo colonialists.Development is what is needed and not a democratic failed state.

Kagame deserves to be the president of the African continent. No one ☝️ on earth can unite a country like Rwanda 🇷🇼. I will always respect ✊🏿 you Mr. President 🙏

The fact is that the man inherited chaos, death and destruction and was able to transform things for AVERAGE PERSON in the land! He didn’t exploit the country and surely didn’t rape the country’s resources to set up a Swiss bank account like other African leaders. The Rwanda that we see today is the fruit of a honest, dedicated, hard working leader who obviously cares enough about the average citizen. I wish we could say the same for most leaders under the democratic system of government round the world.

As a child growing up and watching the news on the genocide I though of Rwanda as a wretched place with some of the most weak, evil and wretched people on our planet. Now I see Rwandans as some of the most gracious, forgiving, blessed, beautiful and strong people on the planet. Blessings to President Kagame and the dedicated people of Rwanda, you are an inspiring example to follow out of a desperate situations into a bright and prosperous future.

We need someone like him for Iran and Afghanistan

Rwanda will be united for ever no matter the Enemies are trying to divide them... Rwandans be conscious and stand by your golden president Paul Kagame

He is not a Dictator... He is a leader whom many admires.. ❤ from The Gambia.

Proud to be Rwandan

Wonderful video and big up for kagame,he's truly a leader.wish Nigeria my country could develop this quickly.

I don't care about the color of the cat as long as it catches the rats. What has the vaunted and over exaggerated so called democracy done to my country Nigeria and many of the likes. Kudos to President Kagame and Rwandans.

I wish the others Africans countries to emulate the Kagame's ideologies for development.

This son of Africa is more a saviour than a dictator as said by enemies of African peace and brotherhood.

Rwandese people strike me as very calm people. Blessings to all the people of Rwanda. I love listening to other Bantu languages, been picking many similar words from my own❤️

We Muslim love Rwanda. Only genocide survivor understand this.

Stanley the journalist clearly broke the law. The Rwandan genocide was a nightmare and how could anyone want to go back to that? This is the problem we are experiencing in Ethiopia right now and I hope our leaders can learn from Paul Kagami.

i was in Rwanda during the Genocide and i know Kagame has done a good job, take it or leave it.Rwanda is the only country in africa that banned the use of plastic paperbags, respect. And to the Aljazeera reporter a job well done only you need to travel and see more of Africa,The chaos and mismanagement in the region you come from(west Africa) are foreign to the large part of Africa stretching from Ethiopia to South Africa.

Mr president has done a good job. If those who plans to oust him so they can plunge the country back to 20yrs ago, I think he has duty to protect his people and his country

Stanley's article is about tribalism, the same thing that brought terror on Rwanda. Why does he want to keep the division alive. Kgame has brought decency to his people. Long live president Kgame, long live. God bless you president Kgame. He does not live like a dog, nonsense, he raised his country from the dead. 95% have elected him.

I am haitian and I strongly love and you as a leader... Thank you for what you accomplished in your country Sr.

Kagame has done good for his country, he has a legacy that makes Africa proud. What Rwanda needs now is to groom the next generation of leaders to take Rwanda even further and to avoid bloodshed in future. When a leader believes that he is the only one who can save his country, he will end up becoming the very problem he is trying to solve. Kagame needs only 1 term to ensure smooth transition that is the only thing Rwanda needs from him.

I don't understand why critics of Kagame come up against him considering the fact that he has brought Rwanda this far. He is a great leader and other African leaders should emulate his example. No one is perfect. His leadership skills outweigh his imperfections.

Better dictatorship that helps people then democracy that kills them .... If anyone thinks kagame is a dictator...well please think again

15min, how can you mention such a statement in your newspaper understanding where you came from in 1994, press freedom does not mean disuniting people

i was there and that's how i feel, proud of them and for this president . i want and hope all the other country of africa open theirs eyes

Wether he his a dictator or not, let this man be ! Paul kagame bravely helped end the genocide while the west, who played a major role in stirring it, stayed away and did nothing ! Kagame has brought the rwandane people together, look at rwanda now, it's economy is booming unlike most african countries that didn't experience genocide ! When the rwandan genocide happened, I think I was a toddler, but the tremendous steps paul kagame has made to bring rwanda to where it is now really fascinates me. I respect president Paul kagame a lot and I wish I had a president like him. Muammar gadaffi, Paul kagame and robert mugabe are the only african leaders who had the best of interest of their people at heart and they did the best they could to defend their people, their wealth and natural resources , so as to give their people the best life they deserve. Long live Paul kagame 🙏

I think Kagame needs to shut his opposition up. He has transformed Rwanda. He is a saviour. He has to be strong. The opposition groups who wants freedom of speech and are complaining are the same ones who the Europeans will use to divide and conquer the country again. I agree for freedom of speech but not in this case. These people will be used to bring chaos, division in the country again. Kagame is one of my heroes. May God protect him.

Tell Queen Elizabeth to step down first

The opposition parties are important in a democratic country though i don't know what to oppose in Kagame government

Paul Kagame doesn’t deserve to a position of presidency, he should be a King of Rwandwa.😎

Stanley statement would've been right if he'd only left ethnicity out, hate speech in a country with a horrific history caused by it his imprisonment was just. "Marrying someone because of beauty is a regretful act" true. Commenting from Liberia 🇱🇷

Democracy doesn't always work in Africa they have democracy in many countries in Africa I think the main thing is no corruption in Africa function without the European for many century

This is where human cloning must take place. Kagame should be duplicated and spread across Africa as leaders. And maybe the rest of the world. A dictator who creates safety and peace must be worshipped like a prophet.

Those who don’t like kagame can leave, it can’t get any better.

Kagame Africa is proud of you....They Call it Africa we call it home....love from Kenya

11:49 Traffic lights with timers.. WOW I've never even seen anything like that in the US or Canada. WTF lol that's awesome. I've always thought that's how traffic lights should be. Rwanda is winning!

Kagame is a good leader (although not perfect) and aptly trained in maneuver warfare by the CIA. He understands the strategy and is a shrewd fellow who understands that humans need to be ruled with an iron hand especially after the genocide. The genocide showed that the Rwandan population is extremely vulnerable to brainwashing and propaganda and he has enacted laws to prevent this from happening again. Rwanda is flourishing because of his policies. So, don't go talking bad about him for not being a "democratic" leader.

I think I would be super appreciative to this leader If I was in Rwanda before and after.

Africa lets stand behind our leaders....let's support the system that works for our continent

Everybody is praising democracy...but you know what at some point people abuse it, look at the USA. Kagame has done well. Deserves many Nobel peace prizes. Well done, I hope other African countries learn from him...including my own country South Africa.

Im afrikaan🇸🇷 Suriname netderland🇳🇱 can I'm come live in Rwanda afrika?😉😊I'm feel good when am hearing the Rwandan afrikaan music😊🎤🎵🎵

Hungry opposition leaders tryna get in power n undo the progress. Done them real quick. Respect to Kagame

Rwanda is a miracle. Of reconciliation, liberty and respect.

Rwanda is one of the most beautiful nations I have ever seen. Kagame needs to be a strong man until he can set the nation right economically. I think Kagame is more like Lee of Singapore or the storng men military leaders of South Korea. Both these nations are what they are not due to democracy, but due to good leadership; the benevolent dictator.

For as long as he does his job as a leader I don't mind how long he stays in power.

He is both a savior and a dictator. Those two things are not exclusive. He is a brutal dictator yes, but without him Rwanda would be a backwards hellscape. Instead, it's an economic and social power comparable if not even greater than even its former colonizer.

If these so called critics of Kagame had their way the country would be at war. The guy wrote an article saying "Hutu men would regret marrying Tutsi woman for their beauty" this is the so called journalism is not needed anywhere.

I don't care what anyone says, as an outsider it seems like Kagame did a great job. There is no great leader who hasn't been criticized. You have to realized maybe if he was replaced in a democratic process his replacement might not have the best vision for the country but rather would work for his own wealth gain just like any other African leaders. Good job.

I am not Rwandan but I will lay down my life for Paul Kagame. Colonial masters would want to use the media and some fools within the government and citizens to ruin his hard work. Kagame is a toast of the heavens

I respect the great leader of Ruwanda Kagami. I don’t mind a leader staying in power as long as he is doing good job. ❤️From Somalia 🇸🇴

Kagame should be appreciated no one helped when those people were dying, live them alone.

God bless Paul Kagame and People of Rwanda.

Thanks for allowing to watch in the US. Please don't block US access to Al Jazeera English. Thank you

Best African leader!

Hutu and Tutsi are not tribes they can't be classified in this way because they share the same culture, at most they can be classified as ethnicities despite the fact that in pre-colonial Rwanda they were merely socio-political categories.

I think those dogs that opposed him and died had it coming, I won't shed a tear for them. President Paul Kagame is a wonderful man and has earned his bragging rights. I wish that this wonderful man could "oppress" the entire continent. I wouldn't mind being ruled by this outstanding "dictator".

To be honest, this was a good interview. I liked that both the good and the bad sides of Kagame we interviewed, but I feel there was no focus on the most important point. Obviously a 95% win in an election isn't legitimate, but it's fine because Kagame does right for the nation, democracy and freedom of press will mean demagogues will be enabled the power to take over public opinion for the benefit of their own scrutiny, the country could easily fall back to turmoil, the 'dog' question is pretty much rhetorical and obsolete, the answer is clear, if you want to divide people and eradicate decades of development for personal gain or on the basis of STUPID beliefs, bye... But the real question is international development. What I feel the presenter should have focused on is Rwanda's affairs with the DRC. Because to me, it looks like the story that was told tells us Kagame is potentially not the biggest fan of development around other African countries, to an extent, don't get me wrong. But DRC is a country that's seen severe scrutiny and holds some of the most valuable resources used in technology to date. It should literally be amongst the most influential countries. The very raw materials used to make certain important components of every smart device comes from the DRC, and yet it is a country inflicted with war. I'm still waiting on the day some journalist, preferably African, sees the correlation, and conducts an interview that puts both, western governments and economies, as well as African, in the spotlight. Africa will not develop into the economic powerhouse and influencer it should be, because people are sheep who follow mass media and refuse to understand that simply by complaining, they are not improving their countries, and leaving their nations to go abroad literally makes them by standers in their own economies. The resources Africa has to offer are what made America the strongest super power, and what people fail to see is China are fast approaching America in terms of power because they are carrying out America's very own colonialism in modern Africa. Yet Kagame some how fails to see Chinese corrupted agenda, unless there is a bigger picture. I am not accusing Kagame of anything, I'm just saying we should question everything we know, for the sake of our countries and our children. People don't understand the power they posses over corporations and governments. After all, there is no supply without demand. It's a collective effort.

Go go ruwanda

Senior has presided over the most successful positive change in Rwanda. He's an epitome of a top reformer and a treasure for Africa. Rwandans know this: hold tight to Paul Kagame, many of your fellow Africans wish Kagame was the kind of leader they had. Those who don't like the progress he's making and the steps he's taken to heal and transform Rwanda will lurk to rake Rwanda - unite and never allow to lose trust in Paul...

Well, having seen this beautiful piece, all I can say is, Kagame may seem justified for the love and cause as well as dreams for his country, but studying his gestures shows he has learned mastery. Kagame needs to bother about what happens after he's left. I wish Rwanda well.

"African Unite" - Bob Marley.

If this is how a dictator dictates a country, the. I think we need him in every country in Africa

Hutu Tutsi and Twa are three kinds of class. If you were a poor farmer you were Hutu. If you were a rich Rwandan who owned cattle you were Tutsi. If you were an artisan you were Twa. If you were born Hutu but gained richness and eventually owned cattle, you were no longer a Hutu but a Tutsi. All this changed when the colonisers invaded. Hutu Tutsi and Twa were no longer a social class but were defined by facial and physical definitions.

The world never had such brave iron man, we Ethiopian needs such man of pride. May be Mandela or king Minilik of Ethiopia could have a little of him. Long live the dictator
