Since 2000, Paul Kagame, a politician and former military officer from Rwanda, has served as the country’s fourth president. He was born on October 23, 1957. He previously held the position of commander of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), a rebel force with roots in Uganda that invaded Rwanda in 1990. The RPF was also one of th e parties to the Rwandan Civil War and the armed force that put an end to the Rwandan genocide. When he served as Vice President and Minister of Defense under President Pasteur Bizimungu from 1994 until 2000, when the position of "Vice President" was abolished, he was regarded as Rwanda’s de facto president. Kagame participated in Yoweri Museveni’s rebel army during the 1980s, rising to the rank of senior army officer when Museveni’s military triumphs propelled him to the president of Uganda. When former leader Fred Rwigyema passed away on the second day of the 1990 invasion, Kagame joined the RPF and assumed leadership of the organization. In Rwanda, the RPF had significant territory under their control by 1993, and talks for a ceasefire had begun. Juvénal Habyarimana’s murder in Rwanda sparked the genocide, which resulted in the deaths of an estimated 500,000–800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus by Hutu extremists. Kagame reopened the civil conflict and won a military victory to put an end to the genocide.
If you have ever wondered how Paul Kagame rose to power in Rwanda and what kind of a ruler he is, stay with us as we see how he has become a force to reckon with over the years.Watch Our Other Videos Here
