where were human right groups when genocide happened in 1994?

sorry to say, i find the attitude of this journalist quite obnoxious

democracy is not about coming and going out of the office but its about what one does while in the office

"Democracy is not about coming and going, but is about exactly what you do whilst in power" real wisdom here...

After the events of 1994, Rwanda started from year ZERO. It was a completely destroyed country both physically and morally. The success of Rwanda since then is large in part due to President Kagame's policies.

You can call Rwandan leadership whatever you want but we Rwandans we are happily governed regardless of these self centered imperialists.

the first horrible and un-qualified journalist I have ever seen!!

Al Jazeera is always trying to throw shade on African success. They will always find a negative angle. Always.

This is terrible interviewing skills, let the woman reply and maybe like that we can understand what she is trying to explain!!!

so much focus on Rwanda, why now .....Rwanda's economic growth is a threat to colonizers

Now the western media is going after Rwanda, became they have a Strong leader that's bringing prosperity the that country, I say Stay Up Rwanda

This reporter tried his best to antagonize her but he could not throw her off. He tried but he failed. It did not work. 😅😅😅. He should have known his dealing with a intelligent woman.

This so called “journalist” has no class, he comes across extremely arrogant. He constantly interrupts the guest and does not allow the guest to answer a single question. Extremely Bad taste 🤢

A well spoken wise woman. All praise to the people of Rwanda. An example for all women

Where were this pigs when Rwanda was in genocide

This is so stupid. Anybody who has travelled to Rwanda knows what a success it is. This is non sense.

She is right. I have been to Rwanda 4 times in the past 5 years and have never seen anything to support these accusations. What is consistently lacking in all of these allegations is proof, which is strange given how easy it is nowadays with video phone devices and what not. Begrudgers who criticize Rwanda should get a life. The people of Rwanda are perfectly happy with their government and that is what matters. The BBC documentary was the shoddiest piece of revisionism I have ever seen and I no longer watch the BBC because of it. Over 98% of voters opted to have the good President run for another term in a referendum with an enormous turnout (close to 100%).

West plsssss stay out of our african business plsssssss...let us be c'mon

What a funny question, "...success story or authoritarian state?". You're making the mistake of assuming that success as a nation and authoritarianism are mutually-exclusive. There's plenty of examples of countries that are authoritarian and successful (ie. Singapore, China) and countries that are democratic and failing (ie. countries in South and Central America). Success and failure of a nation, I believe, have less to do with democracy or authoritarianism but rather whether a nation, a people, have the right "stuff", the right culture to succeed.

This interviewer is plain rude.. I've seen several of his "interrogations".. you cannot be rude to your guests

This woman good

Rwanda is being questioned today .. where were you during the genocide

Kudos to this woman for being the bigger person and keeping herself in check.

This reporter is ridiculous, Rwanda is mirroring Singapore's history and surprise surprise, it is working very well for them. And these humanitarian groups aren't always benign entities given Rwanda's history. Not only that, but censorship isn't always a bad thing given certain geopolitical situations, Rwanda has a unique situation, the censorship model isn't a bad idea there. Also Louise Mushikiwabo was super professional in keeping firm that these policies Rwanda has are not applicable to other nations, but they are best for Rwanda, and looking at what Rwanda has been doing over the years, the rapid rise in GDP and rapid rate of foreign investment that has been bringing the country towards the forefront of African economic development. The numbers don't lie, Censorship and journalistic freedom are important issues, but right now Rwanda is handling itself perfectly. Impressionable minds that can be swayed to anti-productive ideals (like what happened with the Genocide) is a touchy subject. It is perfectly understandable to see Rwanda's path right now, and yes it should be on its own page because there are few countries on this planet that had such unique circumstances as Rwanda. Imagine having a genocide and then forcing the two groups that were in conflict to live next to each other in the same neighborhoods and just let bygones be bygones when half their family was killed by their next door neighbors. It is incredible how Rwanda has been handling that situation while catalyzing such economic growth.

This woman is the epitome of wholesomeness n calm composure👍👍👍

its a success kagame has done more than any other african president

Questions composed of 1000 words but answered clearly and intelligently in 50 words. The lady was smart than the interviewer.

You are doing well Rwanda. Some people cannot contain their jealousy.

I was really proud and please when she said what's wrong of staying in office? She thinks what is matter is what people do in office. And not just about democracy coming and going but what you can do positively 😍😍😍😍

Criticism of a such a successful country can only come from haters who do not want to see the numerous positive achievements made by Rwanda.

This guy dosen't know how to interview, he is so rude !

Rwanda is on the right track

Aljazira and you the Journalist do you own bussiness! Clear your middle east of all the corruption and inhumanity! I'm not from Rwanda but I BELIEVE IN RWANDA AND ITS LEADERSHIP !!! RWANDA IS EXAMPLE TO NOT ONLY AFRICA BUT THE WHOLE WORLD !!! MUCH LOVE RWANDA AND GOD BLESS YOUR COUNTRY INFINITELY!! ALL THE WAY FROM ERITREA 😍😍😍😍

This guy does not let her answer, nor does he listen to her point of view. Gets very agitated in his interruptions, too. Bad interview, feels more like an interrogation. She stood her ground well. Love to Rwanda, from Brazil!

Hey Bro, you work for Al-Jazeera in Qatar an authoritarian state Rwanda is not an authoritarian state. Please, remember that. Man you are just rude.

She is a very strong sis. I admire and respect her very much.

Brainy woman. An epitome of Excellence.

Very rude host. Al Jazeera should replace him.

the interviewer is pathetic...every country has its problems...

The interviewer was a little condescending but the interviewee handled herself and represented Rwanda well.

can you just leave them alone for once!!!! jeeez

The journilist is mad when he said BBC seriously as if BBC is sent from heaven

The BBC refused to defend herself in Rwanda...yes.. Why did the BBC not investigate the murderer affairs of the Malebele tribal people in Zimbabwe? And you asking the woman should visit your Arab countries where slavery is still active.

This host is so distasteful

The interviewer has to give her enough time to respond - disappointed by Al Jazeera - you are supposed to do much better

The comment section shows why Africa will never really develop truly because they are still insecure about confronting their flaws. Corruption and authoritarian leaders worshipped because they built toilets and hospitals.

She is so intelligent ,and well spoken. I love that she is such a wonderful example to us, young women !

Long live Rwanda, we Indians support you and your great leader Mr. Kagame...

I'm Nigerian but i thank God everyday for Paul kagame. He is the real deal. If we can select a president for Africa he will be the one.

Am I the only African here in 2019

Much respect to Louise Mushikiwabo 🙏♥️🇷🇼👏

I'm sorry I dont think Rwanda is ready for a Western style government.

Rwanda has a unique history on this planet earth, the Rwandan leadership should be unique as well, no one loves Rwandan and no one would fight for Rwandan Human rights than people who opted to lose their lives for saving the lives of Rwandans.

I really admire the patience of this lady Foreign Minister. She's very composed and mature.

We African we don't have Friends... Arab or West are oue Enemy they want us alawys Down .. But Africa is Raising... African land Rescoures for African .. One passport .. United Aftica...

The jornalist is so agresivious the poor woman can not speak at all so they make africa broken

He keeps interrupting....only wants to hear himself ...NOt a good interviewer!! You stood your ground..WELL DONE!!!

If I were Rwandese or Paul Kagame I would abolish this democracy rubbish

The interviewer is very unprofessional.... Sounds like an upset millenial... lol

When you ask a question, suffer that your guest answers. Unprofessional journalist!

What an intelligent woman, behold the next President of Rwanda

Other country will try to down grade or down play any improvment that any other nations especially black countries like Africa when it doesn't benefits there agenda. A voilent destable Africa will benefit the other countries agenda. Keep doing your job president of Rwanda. All African countries need to unite and follow the Rwanda model and one day we will be the United States of Africa and the economic power House of the world.Africans home and abroad please bank and invest in Africa. Africa is made up of over 60 percent of young people. Young people are the future so in other words Africa is the future. I love Mama Africa will be back soon. Love coming straight from Jamaica. One love, one Africa.

Strong black woman! Proud of my black mama!

Enough is enough ,time for africa to rise, no more looting and deceaving

Human right abuse? Haha, lets start from treating women equal in Saudi Arabia.. Keep quiet Mr

The interviewer clearly has a biased position he unrelentingly pursues the angle without allowing response. How long has madam Angela Merkel been around and no one raising eyebrows... As long as one sufficiently adds value

The host is very annoying. He's not allowing her answer the questions asked before interrupting her.

Well done Rwanda FM Ms Louise. Hope you never follow journalist view or criticism using Human Rights agenda. No one fulfil 100% people desire. Government of Rwanda hope to follow the Japanese industrial model in progressing forward as Malaysian leaders did. We wish to see Rwanda one of the top African industrial country soon. Thank you.

Very good interview, which was a pleasure to watch at the poise and assertiveness of Rwanda's foreign minister, Louise Mushikiwabo. thank you!

Rwanda is not the only country in the world that did not choose the path of a western democracy. There is nothing wrong with that. Western democracy does not work for every country.

Those who judge us by the heights we have achieved will do well to remember the depths from which we started - Kwame

If it was a soccer competition I'd say he lost in all front and she won by excellence.

What I saw is this first: this journalist is too impolite. this is not conversation but an interrogation. Anyway, congratulations Mrs Louise Mushikiwabo you're very wise and too much a genius 👌

in Nigeria we have the so called american style of governance. but where are we in the league of nations with all our wealth? it is better to be progressive authoritarian than a Nigeria with american democracy. Too much freedom makes politicians, citizens corrupt and indiscipline

This journalist is very unprofessional. At least show some respect to your guest. Assuming your questions are reasonable it should be asked with some level of decorum. These foreign media houses are always trying their best to paint our African leaders as people who don't have respect for their people and the rule of law. It doesn't matter how you view Rwanda, the choice of a leader lies with the people of Rwanda.

Human rights groups never care about the everyday life of Rwanda, they have no right to comment on and or judge the people of Rwanda The interviewer seemed to have a different agenda, instead of letting the person who is interviewed express and answer the questions, he put words into the person being interviewed. He should just speak up for himself rather than doing an interview, what a waste of time for the foreign minister of Rwanda

Viva Rwanda 🇷🇼❤️ RWANDANS are so Genius ❤ This lady is ahead of This man in wisdom, he's nothing but arrogant person Journalist.

This guy is rude.... so ridiculous seems like he's setting up an argument instead of interviewing

rest in peace Journalism

Rwanda rules

8 years later in 2024 , we are voting for him again ! 🇷🇼😅

She is well spoken and he tried hard to throw shade with rumors and speculations. He is over reaching. Not real reporting. “Aid is not charity” was the best reply. I notice how countries who receive aid are looked down upon.

I wish my country , Haiti, had a president with Kagame’s vision. I do really believe that Third world countries need a group of men with a progressive, honest vision to put the country on track.

Go and see the immaculate streets of Rwanda. The clean efficient hospitals and the orderly schoolchildren. Nowhere in Europe is equal to Rwanda.

A very intelligent woman. Sadly the interviewer couldn't let her exhaust all her answers, he kept interjecting

I wish all our African leaders would see things the same way as this lady/ Rwanda leadership

This lady is a very good diplomat

The Black people are Succeeding why does it hurt you to see a Black nation Thrive

We still miss her in the current Government 🤔

Whatever the west may say Rwanda will keep rising and this is a great African woman

I dont think Rwanda is ready for a Western style government.

I see where people say Journalist is rude and I am not denying that lady is intelligent nor that Rwanda is in better place, in fact I commend their progress and is an example for many african nations, but the Job of a Journalist/Interviewer is to ask question extract information and critical especially when people are deflective, And the fact of the matter is the lady is extremely defflective and if you re watch it allot of the time she does not directly address the question but goes of on a tangent (a strategy allot of politicians use) further more we africans often fall into the trap of making are leaders exempt of criticism when the are doing well which can often lead to abuse of power. Criticism is not necessarily an attack, we can only improve by learning from our mistakes which is brought about through criticism, and fact of matter is the women and allot of people in the comment fail to directly address criticism, and instead are condemning journalist character instead of what he actually said, again lets not fall for this trap. It is good and I agree Paul Kagame is very intelligent leader, but us africans need to stop deyifing our leaders, no man no matter how powerful and good is exempt from criticism. On the other side like i mention earlier I do praise the Rwandan leader for how he has turned country around and how much progress Rwanda has made, Rwanda has some of the cleanest cities in Africa, and for those watching do take caution and take western media with a pinch of salt as they do not have a good history of depicting africa wll.

10:28,Democracy is not about coming & going👏

Where was this fellow when the genocide was happening ?

I've never heard someone who probably likes the sound of his voice more than this journalist😂😂. He looked like he wanted to fight instead, while the interviewee held her grace and class. 👏👏

She intelligently tackled tough questions. excellent!

Where were those human rights organizations during the Genocide...and why are they coming up now, now that Rwanda is trying to rebuild itself.

This journalist’s questioning is very irritating. Why don’t you talk about European countries that mistreat Africans in their countries? This superiority complex of Western countries over Africa irks me.

This lady has contained this journalist

One thing the journalist needs to know is that things work differently in Africa. There are "perfect" democracies here, like Kenya, but they don't work. I admire Kagame and the way he steers Rwanda. They better make him King if they know what is good for them. Otherwise, they will bring in a thug who will loot their resources and drive the country into a ditch. Kagame works!
