In Africa today, we recognise that trade and investment, and not aid, are pillars of development.

The history and national interest of Rwanda and the Rwandan people dictate our national orientation.

Paul Kagame 49 quotes

Politics is not only about personal choice. That one also needs to take into consideration what the people want because in the end, they are the ones who decide.

Paul Kagame 49 quotes

The West has institutions tha...

The West has institutions that can punish the misconduct of individuals. What drove Rwanda and Africa into decline was the fact that certain people weren't held accountable. When we move to make corrupt mayors or officers answer to the courts, people always immediately say that we are repressive. But should we allow these people to continue to get away with it?

Paul Kagame 49 quotes

Human rights are not the pres...

Human rights are not the preserve of Western activists: The definition must extend to encompass the right to the dignified life; the right to send your kids to school, for that child to get health care, for access for greater prosperity for generations to come and to have a say in the destiny of your community and country. Under that definition, Rwanda has nothing to learn from advocacy groups who think they own the copyright on what constitutes human rights under all conditions in every corner of the world.

Such problems are not solved in one day but there is a great step toward peace and security in the region.

You kept quiet... When these victims wanted your help to survive, you kept quiet.

Some are short, others are tall, others are thin, others are stocky. But we are all human beings. Can we not live together and happily within one border?

We cannot just be a corridor to smuggle minerals out.

Paul Kagame 49 quotes

We cannot turn the clock back...

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.

Paul Kagame 49 quotes

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.

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.

Paul Kagame 49 quotes

I try to look at problems very clearly and think, 'How do we get out of this? What will work? What will be the consequences for the people involved?'

Paul Kagame 49 quotes

Africa should not just wait to be exploited or influenced. No. We should be part of the conversation. We should raise ourselves to a level where there are certain terms we dictate in the conversation because we have a lot to offer.

Paul Kagame 49 quotes

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.

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.

Paul Kagame 49 quotes

In a state of poverty, illiteracy, people just remain exposed to all kinds of manipulation. That's what we have lived. It's easier to tell a poor person, 'You know what, you are poor, you're hungry because the other one has taken away your rights.'

I would be very happy for a woman to succeed me.

The judicial system of Rwanda is not subordinate to France or France's interests.

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.
