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.

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

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

Rwanda is a democracy not a monarchy.

My own experience from a decade ago taught me I cannot trust the UN. But it is a world body and we have to live with it and tolerate it. But I can't hide my feelings about its inefficiency and its not being productive.

Rwanda is rebuilding itself once again as one nation and that is the reason why we are making progress. Now many Rwandans are making their ends meet and others are able to do better than they have before.

It is the first time in the history of Rwanda that political change in the highest leadership of the country has taken place in peace and security.
