Paul Kagame's Unyielding Grip on Rwanda's Leadership

Reelected with over 99% of the vote, Kagame continues to inspire both admiration and criticism as he extends his rule.

Kagame has led Rwanda since 2000, with his recent reelection extending his presidency until at least 2029.
Supporters praise his role in ending the genocide and fostering national unity and security.
Critics argue that poverty remains widespread and political dissent is harshly suppressed.
Rwanda's economy has shown resilience, with significant growth projected in the coming years.
The international community remains divided on Kagame's leadership, balancing his achievements against human rights concerns.
