Rwanda: Paul Kagame says NO to leaving power in 2017
Amanpour asked if that meant "yes," he would step down.
He replied, "No. It is a broad answer to say you don't need to worry about anything."

On the supposed 52nd anniversary of the Rwandan Democracy Day, the Rwandan President Paul Kagame hints to Amanpour, CNN presenter that he will not leave power in 2017.
Being a dictatorship which claims to be democratic, the RPF regime has removed from official celebrations the remembrance of the day when Rwandans back in the 1960s came together to acknowledge the benefit of choosing their rulers for the first time in their history.
On January 28th, 1961 Rwanda celebrated the outcome of a popular referendum which months before had seen the country ending the monarchy rule and elected its people's local representatives.
Under the RPF rule, not only has the Rwandan President silenced any critical voice of its numerous damageable policies, but it does not appear ready at all to give room to any democratic expression of citizens in the short r medium term.

For those in the Rwandan opposition arena, it becomes clear from now on that they need to feed in their strategies to remove RPF from power that new certainty that the Rwandan president is not willing to leave office when his current term ends. He must be forced out.
