Beyond Tribalism, there is Unity, Work and Patriotism. This is the motto of Rwanda. No iron fist needed. Rwandan people are motivated out of pride for their country and a shared destiny led by the great Kagame.

in Rwanda we need him more than other people think, because what he did it was amazing, he stopped genocide against Tutsi when nobody cared, now you can go to high school for free if you want too, he bring unity to our people, the people work in peacefully no worries about anything I mean what can I say, and we don’t even care about haters out side or inside because no matter what you do you will always have somebody on side who’s not appreciate especially FDLR and Rusesabagina who like to cry ku bazungu the one who said he’s not Rwandan during court time, we stand for the truth and that’s why kagame he’s what he is now

Kagame was elected by Rwandans🥰🥰, i wonder your opinion effects on our choice 😅😅.

[bruceelieintwari]

Democracy is not in quatar dear Aljazeera😂🤭 nor in any arab nation whom you would like to point out. But in our context, Democracy ="our choice serves us well"😍😍

[brightcolor]

Paul Kagame is the man in Rwanda whether you like it or not. He is loved by almost 100% of Rwandans. So why not him keeping to lead the country, you guys should mind your own business cz you also got a lot of problems to deal with😅😅😅

[KenOdida]

Wrong reporting. Should have started with the fact that Rwandans are happy with Kagame and will vote for him again. That's the basis of democracy! Those frivolous accusations against Kagame do not matter

[frankkagame]

We're happy with our man dear Boateng😂

[cyusaernest]

Why are you showing images of 12 years ago? We Rwandans are happy with Kagame, and we will vite for him a million times. Take your so called Democracy to Ukraine and Libya

[Hopefamily]

I am not Rwandan but I love Kagame and his leadership . He should not only lead Rwanda 🇷🇼 but the whole of East africa if possible . All accusations might be right or wrong but there is no innocent President here on earth 🌍

[Polo_jp]

why would you even waste your time reporting inonsense 😡. proud of being led by great President HE Paul Kagame. 🇷🇼

[Arcen_live]

It is easy to know which side you are on by only listening your thoughts and the caption of your story😂

[herveuzi]

It’s your conclusion for me✊: “despite this, many Rwandans in the country are happy with the president and they will vote for him again”.

One more thing, Habineza of Democratic Green Party has never been arrested nor sent to exile! That’s a pure lie. Instead he has been a member of parliament for the past 5 years.

[munyambabazielias]

of course!! we are happy for him! and we shall vote him again and again. it's our legitimate right to vote whoever went! he is able leader! great one and we love him ❤❤❤❤ long live our beloved president

[a.n]

Why no say M23 is fighting for their rights instead say M23 killed this and that? ask them why their fighting, and if president of Congo loves his people he needs to face them and talk like a man face to face and solve the problem, don’t just be a hater use common sense

[noface]

Al jazeera's methods of seeking attention are very funny😂😂, poor station😂😂😂😂

[diazvirdani]

*President Paul Kagame in office since 2000. Rwanda need new President.*

[AsserYarafatso]

Has a date been set for elections in qatar? Has qatar reported Hamas leaders to the icc?

[usanase]

They might have paid you for reporting such nonsense right? The whole world needs to know that we Rwandans need PK to lead us! He is our choice and no one is forcing us to do so! We simply don’t want those fools to come and play with what he did for his country! NO NO and NO

[PriceSHow]

For how long is the royal families in Uk, Arab Emirates among others have been in power huh😳

Now you teaching others democracy when u got non!

Should we make him a king and keep replacing prime ministers like you so that you can have peace of mind 😎

[Ntamba]

This is why H.E Kagame tells you to stop teaching what Rwandans have to do

@Al jezeera your head line is Rwanda Election Campaigns and the Full story is accusations, criticisms and Congo and M23

Don't mix up issues

We are Confused what you people to know from this Breaking news 😂😂😂😂
