KIGALI, Rwanda (MNTV) – Rwandan President Paul Kagame has accused Western powers of bias and hypocrisy, claiming they have sided with corrupt leaders in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) while ignoring atrocities committed against Tutsi communities.
According to a report by The EastAfrican, Kagame criticized Western nations for threatening Rwanda with sanctions while ignoring ongoing instability in the Great Lakes region.
He accused them of supporting leaders who plunder their nations’ wealth and warned that Rwanda would not be intimidated by diplomatic pressure.
Kagame’s comments reflect broader resentment among African leaders over perceived Western double standards in governance and human rights issues on the continent.
