The Worst of the Worst - By George B.N. Ayittey | Foreign Policy


The Worst of the Worst

Bad dude dictators and general coconut heads.

BY GEORGE B.N. AYITTEY | JULY/AUGUST 2010

20. PAUL KAGAME of Rwanda: A liberator who saved the Tutsis from complete extermination in 1994, Kagame now practices the same ethnic apartheid he sought to end.

Those who challenge the president are accused of being a hatemonger or divisionist and arrested.
