Moving container from Kigali to Mombasa used to take 22 days, now it takes 6 days.

My purpose is to develop a country, to empower its population. It's from that same population that will emerge the man or woman who will succeed me. And they will be chosen based on the consensus that they have the capacity to lead the country.

In Rwanda, we have a society that has experienced a very serious rupture and you can't expect all of a sudden that things will be perfect. Even so: You cannot find any more areas where any segment of the population would be afraid to go, like we used to have before. But there is always a lot more to do.

The West is anything but altruistic.

Reconciliation takes time. Sometimes many decades, as the example of Europe shows. It is hard work.

Rwanda is not over needing aid, but we can survive with less aid than before.

Rwanda has its own problems and never sought to blame others or cause others trouble. I advise Burundi to do the same.
