What does leftypol think of Paul Kagame? Savior or Tyrant?
As president, Kagame has prioritized national development, launching a programme to develop Rwanda as a middle income country by 2020 (Vision 2020). As of 2013, the country is developing strongly on key indicators, including health care and education; annual growth between 2004 and 2010 averaged 8% per year. Kagame has had mostly good relations with the East African Community and the United States; his relations with France were poor until 2009. Relations with the DRC remain tense despite the 2003 ceasefire; human rights groups and a leaked United Nations report allege Rwandan support for two insurgencies in the country, a charge Kagame denies. Several countries suspended aid payments in 2012 following these allegations. Kagame is popular in Rwanda and with some foreign observers; human rights groups accuse him of political repression. He won an election in 2003, under a new constitution adopted that year, and was elected for a second term in 2010. Kagame was elected again in 2017, and due to yet another change in the constitution, he could potentially be President until 2034.

Go read Edward Herman’s “Enduring Lies: The Rwandan Genocide in The Propaganda Machine, 25 years later”

He seems to be doing his country well but in a Napoleonic bourgeois way. A good leader for the moment but would likely be deposed during the global revolution.
Hudson Lee
He is dialectical.
Owen Ross
Wrong, he's running arguably the most brutal fascist neo-colonial regime in the world today. He's responsible for the death of millions of Congolese. There's a reason the press refers to his regime as "Africa's Israel"
Dylan Thomas
he seems to be the only african leader to genuine care about the stranded african migrants saying they could come to rwanda instead.
Henry Sanders
He's created millions of refugees himself along with millions of dead bodies, so I guess its only fair of him to try to balance it out.
Jordan Torres
This, the genocide of Tutsis went on for a 100 days, the genocide of Hutus in the eastern congo by Kagame and his regime has been going on since 1994 at the very least

Actual Rwandan here, anyone thinking this guy is a "Savior" is a brainwashed moron who's been fed too much of that western propaganda. He's a puppet of the Empire, a psychopathic mass murderer who's responsible for more than 6 million deaths.
For those not retarded enough to be aware they are complete ignoramuses on the subject, I suggest you to read:
Enduring Lies: The Rwandan Genocide in the Propaganda System, 20 Years Later by Edward S. Herman and David Peterson
