🚨🇷🇼EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: PRESIDENT KAGAME — WHO REALLY CONTROLS CONGO’S BILLIONS?
You keep seeing the news about massacres and rape, as well as alleged genocides and even cannibalism in Congo.
But did you know Africa’s second biggest country is also the richest in mineral reserves?
The Democratic Republic of the Congo sits on trillions in copper, cobalt, gold and diamonds, yet remains one of the poorest nations on Earth.
Why?
President Kagame breaks his silence on the power struggles keeping Congo in chaos, the Western-backed warlords looting its wealth, and why Rwanda is blamed—despite ranking "100th" in Congo’s resource grab.
From genocide, foreign interference, and corruption to @PaulKagame’s brutal take on President Felix ("I wish he wasn't president of that good country"), this no-holds-barred interview offers an interesting perspective into the real players behind Africa’s deadliest and most complex war.
Next week we will publish the second part of our interview where the President discusses the Rwandan genocide, with over a million deaths in 100 days, how he ended it, eventually becoming President.
02:41 – Kagame on rebuilding Rwanda from total devastation: "This was almost an impossible task."
05:45 – Refugees or prisoners? How genocidal forces fled with their captives.
08:55 – "Foreign aid is a trap." Kagame on how "help" keeps Africa permanently weak.
11:19 – "Aid is politically weaponized." It’s never just generosity—it’s control.
12:49 – How Rwanda went from 90% aid-dependent to self-sufficient.
13:50 – "Whoever gives you aid controls your life." The truth about Africa’s dependency crisis.
18:59 – Rwanda’s demand: "Audit us to ensure the aid wasn't stolen."
21:07 – Kagame on USAID’s failure: "They fed us instead of freeing us." Could @elonmusk’s DOGE step in?
24:26 – The Textile War: How the US forced African nations to abandon their industries.
29:06 – Rwanda was kicked out of the African Growth Opportunity Act—for refusing to submit.
30:06 – "We don't want to be dependent forever." Kagame’s definition of true dignity.
31:36 – How Rwanda banned begging and built 70% employment through education.
34:33 – Why is Africa’s ‘tomorrow’ always coming but never here? Kagame blames bad leadership, not bad people.
35:23 – "Congo should never have to beg." With some of the world’s richest mineral deposits, why is DRC still poor?
37:32 – M23 rebellion: Kagame says Congo is expelling its own citizens.
44:33 – Who really profits from Congo’s chaos? "Rwanda takes all the blame, but the real players are hidden."
46:32 – "We still have genocidal forces on our border." Why Rwanda will never trust Congo’s leadership.
48:32 – Kagame on President Felix: "He has a genocidal ideology."
49:21 – $40 billion wasted. Why has the UN ‘peacekeeping’ mission failed for 24 years?
55:02 – Kagame on Rwanda’s role in Congo: "They want a soundbite, not the truth."
57:43 – Can Congo’s war actually be solved? Kagame lays out the 3-step path to peace.
1:00:45 – A Trump-style deal for Africa? "Peace in exchange for mining rights." Would Kagame support it?
