Zitat des Tages von Paul Kagame:
Such problems are not solved in one day but there is a great step toward peace and security in the region.
You can be up there, talked about, appreciated all over the world, with people singing a lot of songs about you. But if you don't measure up and you are not really connected with your people... it will explode in your face, no question about it.
You requested me to lead the country again after 2017. Given the importance and consideration you attach to this, I can only accept.
We must create economic opportunity, build a culture of entrepreneurship, get people to take responsibility for improving their lives, rather than putting them in a position where they sit back in their poverty and blame others for it.
The judicial system of Rwanda is not subordinate to France or France's interests.
I don't think anybody out there in the media, U.N., human rights organisations, has any moral right whatsoever to level any accusations against me or against Rwanda. Because, when it came to the problems facing Rwanda, and the Congo, they were all useless.
The U.N. must be a good steward of the funds entrusted to it. Abuse and waste are therefore not a mere public relations problem. Institutional reform is not a one-off event, like applying a fresh coat of paint.
In Africa today, we recognise that trade and investment, and not aid, are pillars of development.
I don't think that what we need is an eternal leader.
There is a need to take advantage of the change that has taken place in the Congo, however tragic that has been in its coming.
We cannot turn the clock back nor can we undo the harm caused, but we have the power to determine the future and to ensure that what happened never happens again.
There are some who are scared by unity and by building a country on the basis of ideas.
You kept quiet... When these victims wanted your help to survive, you kept quiet.
Let no one think that flexibility and a predisposition to compromise is a sign of weakness or a sell-out.
I'm not British. I'm not American. I'm not French. Whatever thing they practise, that is their business. I am an African. I am Rwandese.
I grew up in a refugee camp. Thirty years. This so-called human-rights world didn't ask me what was happening for me to be there 30 years.
I have no regrets about being who I am and being what I am in my country for my people. No regrets at all.
Our world faces difficult challenges, but no more so than in the past. Working together in a constructive spirit, we can assure our children the future they deserve.
The political, the economic, the social are tied together like the strands of a rope. The social and economic, if they are firm, tend to strengthen the other.
