Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he running a Quasi-Benevolent Dictatorship?​

I’ve always said westerners like to think were the leaders of the world. Especially white ones, they tend to push their beliefs and think their way of life is the best for every human on the planet when it is in fact not. Look at American society, people all fat, sick and getting sick can cause you to go into debt you’ll never recover from.

There’s tons of other examples that can be given but to think ANY society has it all figured out is extremely asinine and dangerous.

Kagame represents what brain drain does to Africa: He’s an extremely adept politician and administrator educated in a Scottish-Ugandan school and practices whiteman government because nobody else can.

When asked in this video about his documented human rights abuses TODAY he references things that happened in 1994 and the does the “the west can’t decide for Africa” thing that all African despots do to strum up pan African support but his regime is just as oppressive as many in the Middle East with political assassinations, morality police and bootleg caste system. They “fight the west” and mimick it in every way imaginable.

The tragedy is that if he’s replaced by someone, itlll be an idiot who runs the country into the ground and is overthrown.

Dr. Umar school is important.

"no western leader has been in power as long as you have"

Kagame has been a dictator since 2000, including intimidating and barring rivals from challenging him (including arrested them). Merkel was elected in 2005, resigned in 2021. What the hell are you talking about.

Democracy would've guaranteed disaster in a country like post civil war Rwanda.

Elections every 4-5 years for post-colonial developing countries causes instability - especially if tribal animosities exist. They need consistent leadership (that is also competent). Without a benevolent dictator like Kagame, Rwanda would've never recovered from the civil war.

Most of Europe was undemocratic until the early 20th century, yet they try to rush things through for African countries, even going as far as demanding "democratic reforms" in exchange for aid.

Kagame is trying to style himself after Lee Kuan Yew, the founder of modern Singapore.

Let's approach it from this perspective. Let's think about all the major powers in the world and how long the process of "democracy" took before they started to guarantee rights to disadvantaged people whether race/ethnicity or economic class. Most of them took a verrrry long time to get to that point, especially the country that most of us on this website live in. And still..there are a lot of issues in this here society.

But if we just go to some of the more recent examples in South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore all had long running dictatorships before they fully transitioned into their current government. A lot of us speak from the perspective of having lived in  nations longer established and having been able to go through the motions to truly unify, when a lot of their actions weren't as heavily scrutinized.

Does this mean we can't hold sone of these leaders to task? Of course not. But can the west take a moral highground when they themselves caused(and still cause) the problems that exist in most underdeveloped countries today? Nah. Kagame seems to be doing a solid job bringing up standards of living in all areas. I'm sure a transition of power will happen. And in 40 years we'll all forget about this period like we do all other high developed nations.

Any black leader who does not appear to respect these lighter colored countries will always have my respect. Let’s just hope he does right by his own people.

It's always like this.

Build your economies, develop your nations and generate endless wealth using fossil fuels....then try and hamper countries that try to follow the model w/o providing alternatives.

Safeguard national interests by developing nuclear technology then bomb/sanction anyone who wants to do the same.
