- Part 1/2: • President Kagame speak...
Lecture at Harvard Kennedy School Center for International Development | Boston, 10 March 2017
Thank you, President Kagame, for banning plastic bags in your country!
I am an assistant teacher for 4 year-olds in Georgia, USA. In a recent training class, we had a session on how to teach children the importance of limiting the use of plastic items. The instructor mentioned that only California has banned plastic bags.
I was able to share with the class that Rwanda is also a leader in reducing plastic use as they banned plastic bags for the entire country. Hopefully, the US will learn from Rwanda and extend the plastic bag ban to all other US states and territories.
Best Wishes to all Rwandans!
Sarah
Thank you Ezekiel for the compliment I would like to invite you to Rwanda
Ezekiel 37 welcome sarah..am also a proud rwandan 🤝
Welcome to our country dear
Am proud our excellent Paul kagame
Maybe, as PK mentioned, the USA has" too much democracy" in the sense that due to states' rights it might not be possible for the USA to ban plastic bags nationally. That (and Americans' current outrage at having to wear masks) makes a case for the notion of 'too much democracy", especially when the proposed diktats/edicts/laws/regulations are for the greater good. I'd love to have or hear a discussion on this.
Wow. Listening to Mr President just gives me confidence that my country can achieve any level of development it wishes for.
I watch alot of his speeches and video's recently and i cant but just appreciate his intellect and commitment..
Nelao from Namibia,You are really African leader my God bless you.
No Words can explain my feelings about this Leader. You are making us proud sir!!!
Please , he is murderers
i really like him so much
@@Mbj10 im not rwandain but i feel like he is doing everything for this country.
sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Saul Gael Instablaster :)
I loved when his Excellency said we care LESS about miracles but believe more in what we can do within the limit of what is possible!!! Thank you Mr. President
Proud, Capable and Up to the Job African Warrior! We all African children are so PROUD of you Mister Kagame!
This president is so an inspiration! Respect!
I admire this man so much. He's totally making me reconsider moving back to the African continent and setting up shop in Rwanda. I see so much promise there.
Welcome Kenri, Rwanda is open to investors and ready to facilitate them.
Plesse do move back to Africa - the future is here on the continent of Africa.
I am thinking of investing in rwanda and may be moving from Washington to Rwanda.
Kerri, don't rush to come Africa please, please! I myself love President Kagame but we are not there yet.

@@symphoriankimbi4869 you are welcome to Rwanda I invite you personally
I have a feeling we should kind of keep few thing's private.
I like the strategic approach of his Excellency Hon. President Paul Kagame of the great nation of Rwanda.
I think it is time for Afrika to Unite and revive the AU to actually operate on its own for its people. Let's share ideas, let's create a powerful Afrika, let's build our Economy, let's trade amongst ourselves, what you don't have I have, so I teach you how to plant and you teach me how to fish.
We can't keep allowing this lost generations brewing century after century...
Afrika it is today, now to stand together.
That would be great,our enemies will plot but i know the time is coming that we will have to rebuild ourselves and our nation...i long to return home one day,.
I used to see the speeches of president kagame but he is still inspires me due his undependable ideas.Thank you African president for being their for your continent
I am from Ethiopia, he is one of the best president in the whole world, i wish we had more presidant in africa like him.
Such an icon
Yes Definitely! I really love Mr Paul kagame he reminds me of Mr Nelson Mandela and the Botswana President Mr Ian Karma. Great Presidents of my beautiful Continent
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way. That is President Paul Kagame.
I am in love with people from other countries who love and support our President PK🥰🥰 be blessed🙏
President Kagame is a very pragmatic leader. He obviously does not like talking too much, he prefers implementing development programs. He is like a surgeon, and knows that with good preparation, he can achieve what the people are waiting for. He created order and discipline in his administration, eradicated wide spread corruption and nepotism. Kagame has become a manual book for sustainable development in Africa and it our hope that he would continue his mission and leave the people to decide when he should retire. He was very clear on the question of his eventual retirement: he is counting on the strong and solid institutions to guarantee the future of Rwanda. Its very encouraging Mr President.
Am from Cameroon I came to Germany during Rwanda Day 2019,my family , friends and others are sympatisers of FPR,He is our African new hero. president kagame.good health and log Life
He is just a smart killer
@@dannymussae890 don't hate him emulate ! He is smart to develop Africa
@@gahangwasteve8789 you don't know what you talking about. You just visited and showed nice hotels and money, but you never sow lives living in blood ocean of the same rwandans!
@@gahangwasteve8789 go to Burundi, go to uganda, go to tanzania go to congo. They would tell you the other side of what you thinking and the apartheid implementation plus neighboring borders shut down while africa deserve free borders!
@@dannymussae890 uh ! where do yo get your informations ? are you living in a cage ? or you telling me Rada i don't live in ?
My favorite President! HE Paul Kagame. May you live long Sir. I pray for you always
He is clear and simple that is an ausome quality in a leader of multitudes.
"We are capable." proud of my president
May God be with you in your journey of leading us🙏
When I hear President Kagame talked, I think Ghadaffi did not die. This is an African President and not Rwanda.
For sure
Hy bro love this man us well
@@felixmupenzi95 thnk u Mr Mupenzi
Jean Paul ICYIMPAYE i believe he said because he’s the one all African countries need as politicians and president

Njyewe nzi neza Agaciro Kibyo Mwakoze my President
I do listen to your interviews, the way you Answer is Mature and Than you for Sharing the National Cake with Banyarwanda.
God given abilities in every man with clean heart will come out.
I am Onesimo Singa from Mozambique (Southern Africa), I am very proud for your excellent work Mr. President, I pray that God may bless and keep you in good shape and health.
You are model for Africa and the world.
I wish all African Leaders are like Prez Paul Kagame. I love his sincerity and boldness to speaking the truth as it is. God bless and keep him safe from all forms of evil.
Much love from GHANA 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Kagame absolutely right about imported forced western democracy, always thinking for the others! Who said that Africas democracy should be similar to western "democracy"?!
I simply love my president!!!
Always
Me too
He is amazing Rwandan you're lucky
I do admire how KAGAME can easily square around the nonsense NOTION that western nations use for abuse in AFRICA ..for examples AID donations ... I see how they even trying here to test his elaborate intelligence and thinking approaches...though using different language than his own.. KAGAME made them silly instead as he answers some silly questions here in ease....🤔 the guy simply rocks and RWANDA MUST be lucky to have him for president...
We are so lucky to have him indeed.
My Leader,,,,, ,My African President this one...🇷🇼⚘
Calm and humble. Please be careful my president. Gaddafi gave interviews just like this and they were planning
Don't worry
Worry about your self
Proud of you my president until now I don't stop to hearing your speech my God continue to keeping your ways 🙏
so much wisdom. I love Kagame
We need a book from you president Kagame!!!
WOW, WHAT A BREAK DOWN.. THUS WHY I LOVE THIS RWANDAN PRESIDENT, PAUL KAGAME.
Very powerful Kagame...love you President!
The real African President!! 👏👏👏 Regards from Angola
Kagame is a TRUE Nationalist and Good Patriot Rwanda has ever seen and had. May God bless the works of his hands.
Why does the moderator keep saying “you” and not address the President by his title or even name? That was rather odd!
Maybe he's not versed in protocol
@@LabiBradleyC Don't make excuses because if it was the POTUS, he would address him as Mr. President automatically and without question. This is done on purpose but no matter, the greatness of who he is and what he has done and continues to do for his people cannot be belittled.
Never share our plans. They can smile but it's not genuine smile
Up until now, if the rest of the world could name 10 african leaders, 1 would be Madiba, the other 9 would be names of dictators, war lords, corruption kings and murderers.
Madiba didnt end Apartheid by keeping his plans to himself but talk about what was going on in S. Africa at that time. Apartheid would not have ended if the rest of the world had not participated to end it.
The others the rest of the world got to know by their sheer brutality and greed. They were always secretive and refused to engage the outside world and their own people.
Kagame had not been invited to speak so that they can learn his plans. They are so far ahead that they can zoom in from space and read the time on your watch.
They keep asking him for his views and thoughts because Kagame has been a very rare African leader who has managed to steer an african nation down the path of progress in an impressively short period of time.
Inviting him to share his ideas at their universities and requesting him to give his opinion and ideas at world leaders forums and meetings shows they respect him.
Thats something that will never be accorded to a person like Mugabe.
@@theallseeingeye9388 Do you know how African countries were created? They were made to be mismanaged politically financially etc. So that the whole continent is under the claws of colonial masters forever. The shocking part from colonial masters point of view came when they realized that, regardless of what they thought will happen to this great continent, those African peoples are managing to get back together with one accord and one by one getting back their lands ending with South Africa in 1994. Now, without these presidents you call criminals, Madina was not going to be known as a great leader behind prison bars.
Do you know that without African strong mind, India was not going to be free from colonial Rule?
@@glorytoyahzulu6229 Africa and Africans who were colonised share a common history with the rest of the world that went through the same.
I am not an expert on local african history but if I am to guess, different tribes and different customs speaking different dialects were all separated or clumped together as new nations when the colonial forces left the continent?
These new nations proceeded to fight their neighbours due to borders and resources or fight among themselves as the new nations could not unite the different ethnicity due to the absence of a national common identity.
And then there was the corruption. Usually by strong populist leaders who come to power by promising to be a champion of his people. The leadership will flame the population of the make believe enemy either within the borders or from outside its borders. While the people are busy chasing and fighting these enemies the leaders are busy emptying the wealth of the nation.
If Africas post world war 2 history is along these lines or close to it, than all I can say is welcome to the rest of the world.
India is not my home country nor do i identify with indians from iIndia as brothers.
But I can say for sure India as a country made out of 150 different kingdoms and 300 different languages today are not very appreciative of the man who came from South Africa and played a part Indias independence.
He is an icon of the non violence movement in the west. But he is increasingly hated in India as the man responsible for allowing india to be broken into east and west pakistan. Which than like any artificial countries created at that time, east and west Pakistan fought each other because they were of different ethnicity. Which than India interfered and Bangladesh was born.
There were many other indian nationalist who did not want to talk terms with the colonizers. They had only goal in mind, which is get them out of their lands. And they absolutely disagreed with the idea of dividing India into two countries, one for muslims and one for hindus.
So who was right who was wrong? I cant say. What I know for sure is we can continue to waste the future by being suspicious and combative against each other and our neighbours and keep blaming the western colonizers for all our problems.
Or engage everyone and build consensus and forge forwards.
This is what I believe makes Kagame great. He once told his men to stop showing him anymore mass graves of his people. He said he was afraid seeing anymore will affect him. He said he was afraid seeing anymore will plant the idea of seeking revenge and affect his ability and to make the right decisions.
Not many in the world today can think that far. Definitely not a man who had to fight to stay alive during that time.
Most of us would have wanted someone to pay for the experience we went through.
I hope his people dont waste it on being suspicious of others and still living under the unconscious believe of the Whiteman burden.
@@theallseeingeye9388 The world has been made very complicated due to all these conquered and conquest going on. What I know for sure is what slave raiders and traders did to the people they captured was to make sure they were put in the place they couldn't communicate as they were shipped to Americans. For those who were left behind were left in their own habitations so they could mourn their losses together.
Yes you are right that blaming will not bring development to our Africa. But for your information, we are not blaming but talking about it. Through talking we heal Ourselves and life goes on.
They divided Africa to create conflict between peoples. Through war they keep getting money from selling their weapons. Africa is huge with more than 2000 different languages. If Bantu peoples loved blood shed, this continent was going to be a complete destruction. Fortunately we are peace loving people. Our fathers united with one accord in peace, to kick out colonial masters. I really think we deserve to part ourselves on the shoulder for keeping so many different people together in peace.
Britain ruled India for 200 years! Before colonial British came the country was doing very well. India was already into manufacturing and export. They lived in peace as brothers between Hindus and Muslims Indians. They were loving and respected one another. They were self sufficient and flourished.
But in, 1947 British divided India into two countries regardless of protest by leaders including Mahatma Gandhi he never agreed to divide the country. These are his own words : " Hindus and Muslims are sons of the soil of India, they were sons of the same soil. They are brothers who therefore must strive to keep India free and united "
Muslim of the Fernando school of thoughts also criticize the idea of Pakistan as being the conspiracy of the colonial government to prevent the emergency of a strong united India. They did not listen because what they wanted was to create that rift between same people so that they keep fighting. War will feed them through the sale of weapons. Real devils. If you look at India today, people are still fighting! Many important people in India were opposing to divide India, British went ahead to divide India anyway!
So let us all cry to The Almighty God to save us! It's a wicked world we live in
@@glorytoyahzulu6229 the world went through its most "peaceful" phase the last 70 years after the second world war.
The second world war was the peak of the effects of colonialism. It was said that the war was between two ideologies. Democracy and Communism. It really was about two ethnic white race. One was the anglo saxons who at that time had an empire stretching the whole world where it was said the sun never sat on the empire. The second were the Germanic people who after finding themselves without colonies, had decided they were entitled to one too. This came from their ideas of superiority over the others around them namely the saxons and the slavs.
So they started annexing and colonizing other European countries. And that followed by murder and genocide of all whom were not blond haired blue eyed.
Long story short that war was what made the non whites realise that the masters were not all that powerful and they too wanted to be masters of their own fate.
Long story short, despite the sporadic violence and war here and there, the world at large was at peace this 70 years.
Im afraid that period is about to come to an end.
The world over we see an increase in the voices of intolerance, bigotry, hate and ignorance while the voices of moderation and tolerance is being shouted out down.
We are increasingly withdrawing from engaging the world in suspicion and fear. And this is not going to help us with what's coming in the very near future.
The challenges that are coming in the near future where the world is going to see famine, hunger, shortages of fresh drinking water and aerable land coupled with natural disasters like flooding of coastal areas is going to push us into conflict.
We disengaging from the rest of the world now will enable the intolerant among us to spill the blood of innocent and children again, just to appease the mad demon thwt exista inside all of us.
Some among us just cannot control that demon called hate.
I truly love this president. I cannot imagine that Africa has a current president as intelligent and forward thinking as this one. May God bless him always.
Best President over seen...! I am proud of You...
This Men is Real is not a slave Mentality
I admire his passion, and the vision for a better future for his land and its people, I wish other leaders across Africa are listening to this man speak and learn from his love for action. The advancement of democracy in Africa by massive social and economic development. When government later implore his people to pay taxes, its understandably reasonable when the people can fill the impacts of development on the system which of courese needs to be sustained and improved alike with growing figures and trend
I agree with your observations
Racontur , good observations indedd
We need aleader like this in Sudan
Too skins! 🤔
Zimbabwe needs men like Mr Kagame leaders like Malema of South Africa God bless Rwanda and it's people they are a great inspiration to Africans may God continue to bless you Rwanda.
Urumubyeyi wacuuuuu Wibihe Byoseeee! Us youths We Love you forever and ever!
I want to meet President Paul Kagame. I respect him alot.God bless him.
THANK YOU OUR PRESIDENT. RWANDA IS BIG.
My best seasoned African President of the season
my president Kagame I love you so much. God bless you
Kenya Jubilee government, please increase the volume on this one
I was so proud of Kagame, the way he speaks and answer the Harvard students questions he was so eloquent and knowledgeable. I don't think a Nigerian President would be able to give a meaningful answers to the questions asked they way Kagame did, up up to Kagame 🙌🙌🙌👏👏
What are African leaders doing going to foreign countries to learn leadership?
All three students ask sensible questions not the one that ask about term limits; he was out of touch
Time limits is unafrican if someone is doing so well in developing His country! You csn tell that Germany
TAKE YOU POSITION SIR AS THE PRESADENT OF AFRICA PLS.
Look at Honourable President’s typical Afrikan disposition - calm,composed and intelligent.
Kwete zvenyu zviya
I'm AA and been following developments on the continent. This President leadership give me hope that China want take over all of Africa. I can at least visit/move to a real African country one day were black people care more about one another then others.
Great leader!
This guy is hilarious, president Paul kagame is good
Regards from east Africa,uganda
We need leaders like him

president Paul Kagame must be very careful on what he shares with these people... must be very very careful.
Hanifa president Kagame he know them very well he doesn't give them shit, he can lough with them talk with thembut he don't trust them he know the heart of European about Africa leaders.
Au afraid of what?u know a hero dies once but a coward dies a100times,so don't fear to tell people.
Hmm don't trust this people. They will incite ur people against u. We have at least seen Kwame Nkrumah, Ghaddarfi, Sankara, Bob Marley etc
He needs to tell all coz he needs investor...
President Kagame of Rawanda i take this opportunity to salut you for the good leadership skills you have protrayed in your country and the love your people have for you. Be blessed, Stella Nyangoma from Uganda.
Love you mr President
Wise and humble president KAGAME.

Thank you Mr. President for your vision. I hope others will follow.
I love the confidence 👏👏🖒
Why do some countries feel the need to give advice to others? As if their country don't need better advice than the other.
They always have to put their nose to things they have no business being in.
It's such a pleasure and great inspiration listening to His excellency P.K.
An amazingly calm, humble and eloquent speaker. All his responses to questions asked are rational and clear.
Amazing visionary leadership.
I am fascinated by his responses to the notion of democracy. Truth be told anyone who wants to discredit him is a person with a hidden agenda of wanting to perpetuate confusion and divert a progressive trajectory he has laid out for his country.
Rwanda deserves to be declared a model good enough to replicate in Africa first nd beyond for the development of mankind.
Well done Me. President. May you be blessed with a long life to continue with the great work you are doing!!!
Best president in Africa wow wise words and I wish one day I can have meeting with u and talking about Africa
Mr President ✊🏿
Idk how my I love this man 😭❤️
Presidend Paul Kagame you have made me and Africa proud in the eyes of the world. please let's work together to change South Sudan and Mother Africa. May God continue to give you good health and long life. In Jesus's Holy and Mighty Name. Amen Amen and Amen.
You should be the president of Africa
He has leadership capability
continue to defend Africa and give views
True talk
I have so much respect for H. E Paul Kagame Africa especially Rwanda is blessed to have him as there leader many can learn from him
BELIZE needs a leader like P. KAGAME... NOT ONLY Africa...
Please protect our Good Leaders such as the Rwandan President. We lost the Great President of Tanzania and the former Ghanian President (J J Rawlings). Let do everything to prevent the invitation of the West who are inviting our Powerful and much loved Voices such as the current Ghanian and Rwandan Presidents. Long live our good current leaders and former Presidents. God bless and protect you I pray 🙏

Brother PAUL, you're are an AMAZING EXAMPILARY LEADER IN AFRICA THAT THESE LEADERS WITH GREEDINESS MUST WORK WITH.
Thank you sir
I love you
From a Congolese person I always have a feeling that this man is behind the chaos’s that is happening in my country but now I just realize that no maybe some problems but not all . Congolese need to stop thinking that someone else will come to solve our problem we need to solve our own problems just saying
Make Africa proud we need more of this appreciate.
President Kagame is a Iiving legend in African leadership. He say he does his part and everybody else does their part and that is the only panacea to succeed. He is fervent, effectual, composed, assertive, determined, principled, assuring, objective and a man of varying attributes. Surely Africa should rise to the occasion with leaders like him.
A president needs people to play there role as well
