Rwanda: President Paul Kagame Sworn In For An Extended Fourth Term | Firstpost Africa

Rwanda's President Paul Kagame was sworn into office on Sunday for a five-year term, after a landslide win in last month's election with 99.18% of the vote. Kagame received a military 21-gun salute, accompanied by cheers from the crowd of 45,000 people. Twenty-two heads of state from African countries were in attendance. Kagame extends his iron-fisted rule to another 5 years, after eight other candidates including his most vocal critics were barred by the electoral commission for last month's elections. Kagame won acclaim from Western and regional leaders for helping end the 1994 genocide and turning Rwanda into an attractive investment and aid destination. But he has been accused of allegations of rights abuses, suppression of dissent, and supporting the M23 rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Kagame has denied all accusations.

President Kagame is our professor & he is not supporting M23 at all but those who supports FDLR are the ones that supports M23

If I were OMNI- MAN in 2024, ...
I'd make BRIGHTBURN look like a

[niyo]

This is clearly biased reporting. Take it or leave it.
Words like iron fisted, intimidation, controversial constitutional amendment etc

Rwandans love Kagamenand they voted for him. Congo has its own issues to worry about

This was a victory to celebrate 🥂
Congratulations to PK

[RwanyindoAntoine]

Kagame it's true is you who is frouth

[kipapula]

Why not report his inauguration. Whats the point bringing in congo and m23 on a function of a newly elected president. The propaganda is obvious but at least for one day report the news of the day.

[margarethpolepole]

Hivi kwani Kagame na Museven mnalazimisha kukaa madarani maisha kwani hakuna watu wengine

[abubacarjallow]
