I’m sure it was a free, fair and open election where all candidates had equal opportunity to campaign and run and no groups were restricted from voting as they wished /s.
Partial results issued by the election commission seven hours after polls closed showed Kagame had surpassed the 98.79% of the vote he got in the previous election seven years ago.
The Democratic Green party candidate, Frank Habineza, mustered only 0.53% and the independent Philippe Mpayimana 0.32%, according to the results issued with 79% of ballots counted.
Clearly it was free and fair and he’s just that popular.
Funny how there’s no outrage in western media about this guy and his elections… wonder who he’s buddies with, and does the bidding for in the region… 🤔
The Conservative government in the UK were working with him to deport people attempting to enter the UK to Rwanda. So they were partners in cruelty, for a start. The new Labour government has said it is abandoning this.
And the Tories were coming in for criticism for it. They basically did a run around the courts, which previously told them in no uncertain terms that Rwanda did not qualify as a safe country for asylum seekers.
There response. Pass a law declaring rwanda safe.
Seriosly
Yeah, it was super fucked.
Nazi Germany, we pass law, now super safe for Jews!
Paul Kagame spends literally billions of dollars on Western PR firms.
He is also runninga US client state, as well as a UK Tory party partner in intended human rights abuses.
Based on the past, any dictator not butchering people in the high 6 figures is seen as a vast improvement
Buddy just read the Wikipedia page on this guy… not even needed to do a deep dive into more uncensored websites.

That guy doesnt look like I expected. I was expecting a guy in a military suit, but he looks more like a librarian.
