In human life, economics precedes politics or culture.

I know more than anyone the divergent views about my father. I want to be judged on my own merits.

This year marks 20 years since the Rwandan genocide -- the world's greatest humanitarian tragedy of the late 20th century. The international community had pledged 'never again' in the aftermath of the genocide in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda in the 1990s. Yet, we are witnessing today a different type of humanitarian disaster unfolding in Syria and Iraq.

I have no family to take care of.

I couldn't stand back and watch the strong economy that my father envisioned go to ruins.

I will open an era of grand national unity.
