- Almost 30 years ago, Paul Rusesabagina saved hundreds of his own countrymen during the inter-ethnic genocide that gripped Rwanda. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...)
His actions inspired the film Hotel Rwanda.
But eighteen months ago he was sentenced to 25 years in prison for treason.
He says his arrest was prompted by his criticism of the Rwandan President's human rights record, and many, including the US and the UN, have described his trial as unfair.
Now he's been released, but only after having to admit to the charges against him.

We Kenyans love both Hutus and Tutsis equally. Kindly love each other.
Kenyans can't tell other countries to love each other when they are busy promoting tribal divisions and killing each other as late as yesterday. Rwandans are justified, although they haven't, to lecture you on why you should stop your current tribal attacks on each other.
there is no hutus and tutsis anymore my bro ,,,,we are all Rwandans
@@BS-kl9yf Do you know what is genocide?
There's no killings in Kenya. Demonstrations are part of democracy... same with South Africa.
A country with no respect of woman being , mostly nilotic they are barbarian with the spirit of dominant, kenya is dog pocket of great Britain, a country with full of tribalism,
@@chrism5159 I'm curious is there any hatred? Will the country survive after kagame?
This woman can lie surely: Rusesabagina has never asked to be released! In fact , he refused to talk to rwandan kangaroo court since he is a belgium citizen and American resident kidnapped by a terrorist group called rwandan authorities!
Kidnapping a man you believe committed huge crimes and then forgive him after 2 years later 🤔because it’s Rwanda laws!!!!
Kagame is the law.
Huge unknown crimes and a release related to a presidential pardon...let's be honest. Mrs. Yollanda is now the best chorist of Mr. Kagame's wrongdoing. Because of the genocide some Hutu committed 30 years ago, being a Hutu in exile is a crime according to the regime in Kigali.
@@ericmaniraho2260 😂😂😂
Lol 🤣
Y'all ain't got no lives,, having rusesabagina as a hero hhhhh,, work harder fellas,, u must be weak, seek love from God , u hate yourselves I bet, someone's hero has alot to do about that person .... sad ,, imagine burying your kids early after putting rusesabagina in their ears as a hero,, they'll Google him and end up emulating him ,, sad
"I shall remember you..I shall remember you". The soldier told him that in Hotel Rwanda
I’m very relieved to see Paul is free.
It was pretty obvious from the start Paul was a victim of a political hatchet job by the Rwandan government. Hopefully he can get back to Belgium now
😃😃😃 Yes indeed, he will get back to Belgium or United States, and.....will never play again with fire that is " RWANDAN NATIONAL SECURITY AND STABILITY ". or simply play with it......at your own peril. BTW, we Rwandans, are capable to bring anyone to justice, or bring justice to anyone anywhere.
Paul is a victim... Yet he agreed to his moral mistakes and said he'd change his degenerate ways.
Rwanda is and will always be the best. USA & Belgium should be taking notes on how Justice is served.
Rusesabagina now is Hero in Rwanda 🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dogs run heroes stay..
If you gon teach your young ones about a hero , and bring up that Hollywood clown, you raising puppies
kagame doesn't enjoy Rusesabagina being acknowledge as 'a hero' more than him.
Kagame is the real hero and has results to prove it
A hero in a hotel, and a soldier on the battle grounds,, those are political fights, not actual real life brv,, politics is a sub sector of society that's magnified as a big one to give accolades to nothing. One was in the Bush, another one was at the hotel.. choose your hero. Hhhhhh.. failures .. haters... bloodthirsty.... we know what happened , we where in the country then,, about a foreign story , keep singing until you end up like. ja rule's singing career. No more war, unless if all comes to the worst
Only man is our choice President Paul Kagame ♥️🇷🇼♥️♥️🇷🇼 as Rwandans we stand together for the truth not for your propaganda
@@nobs997 hero??do you even know the meaning of a hero? Kagame and his team are real heroes not a guy who lied and gave away people to be killed and then be used by you know who
Rusesabagina's militias killed many civilians in Rwanda, thanks to God they were brought under control by Rwandan Soldiers.
And arested thier Boss Rusesabagina.
Rusesabagina is now a hero forever
He is the hero of the movie playing in his head
Funny how the whites are opinionated about a story far away from them.. or maybe they close to it, if you back a genocidaire who claims he's a genocidal hero from a hotel point of view. Maybe everyone backing him got some dna with him about spilling innocent blood just cause they were born that way.. thank God we are in Rwanda where all that happened and we saw it.. whether tricked or not, saddam, Osama, Assange, how spell things you can't write down . Big up to makolo,, she smiled amidst that barbarian reporter
I bet 😊
He is a western hero but a Rwandan terrorist.
No he is not . That movie was not the truth of what actually happened . The man made up 85% of his story
Many genocide survivors at the hotel at the time have told a different story. The film was fiction but good to have brought attention to the world as to what happened at the time. This way, good but pure fiction with some elements of truth.
True!! The only people that he saved was his children and wife!! He knows he won't talk about that in the eyes of Rwandans
@@dorismugisha3647
Were Hutus in any threat surely...he saved many Tsutsis his family was not in any danger.
@@anthonyngocihkisilu2973 In Genocide when wife was Tutsi your family would advise you to kill them as well same goes to his wife and children! His wife was Tutsi and children looked like Tutsi so they risked to be killed! Those are the only people he saved, no one else. The rest got saved because of their money.
@@anthonyngocihkisilu2973 his family was in danger because his wife was Tutsi! We know their story and where they come from!! Rwanda is small my friend!
What do u mean jase?
4:06 is the perfect example of someone lying with a straight face, in the full glare of a television. This is why I don't respect most government officials. Especially when they start talking like a teenager who has been caught then says "I don't feel well, I think my heart has stopped beating". They are so full of themselves telling transparent lies, then they think that they sound so intelligent.
She's nowhere near as good as US leaders at lying with a straight face.
I don’t agree with the Rwandan official by far, BUT this interviewer was low key condescending and that bothered me! I liked the official responded “ALL countries have human rights issues that need to be worked on” because that lady was talking like America and UK are human rights Saints. Of course wet not on Rwanda’s human rights level, but still pipe down mam, we’re not perfect either lol
really!? in the UK last 3400 poeple was arrested because things they said on social media and still you think your huma rights is better than Rwanda!? what do you mean by human rights!? NATO going goiing around the world murdering innocents civilians in the name of democracy!? come on tell that to someone who is not educated
African nations will be appealing to live in if they choose to live in harmony with each. A political difference doesn't necessarily mean that they can't pursue a one on one harmonious approach to resolving their different views. Let nobody out there feel that they know African problems and issues more than Africans themselves. Political leadership is not necessarily a social economic leadership.
Hutus and Tutsis do you love one another now after what you learned from the genocide. Am a Kenyan i just want to know because us we love you both.
We need the revolution in our country (Rwanda)Rusesabagina is Rwandan hero
Overturn Tutsi minority hegemony.
Could it lead to a blood bath? We need to be very careful...we really care for our brothers and sisters in Rwanda.
@@anthonyngocihkisilu2973 So are you willing to accept Tutsi minority domination in your land Rwanda?
Rwanda has done extremely well under Kagame leadership, look how far the country has come after the genocide. Rwanda is the safest country in Africa and has grown exponentially. Rwanda will become the Singapore of Africa.
He is the hero of the movie playing in his head
Uk, if you want to send immigrants to Rwanda, make sure they are safe.
If UK and US want them to be safe they will be. Remember law begins and ends with them. They decide who is guilty and who is innocent just like in this case.
@daxymolesse3223 this is what we can call justice? What about equality? Respect of human beings? Where can we find justice then?
@@angeliqueumugiraneza. Justice and politics are parallel, they will never meet. The colonizer can define it for you, anyways.
@@angeliqueumugiraneza. I wonder why should anyone be concerned with their safety in Rwanda which accepted to harbor them and not concerned for UK throwing them out of UK regardless of any rights they owe them!! Even if some people say Rwanda has financial benefits in accepting them, how about throwing them out, how about those lives lost in the Mediterranean???
The Rwanda lady is very beautiful indeed.
Thank you for this video
This was interesting and intense. 😅
REFUGEES MUST STAYS IN THE FIRST COUNTRY THEY ARRIVE TO AND STATES MUST STAYS IN THAT COUNTRY. ACCORDING TO THE INTERNATIONAL ASYLUM REGULATION..
I even wonder why Americans talk about human rights yet they are number one violaters of human rights talk about blacks in America why don't you begin with them by defending their human rights, how about Iraqes you killed for no reason, how about innocent Afghanese why can't you be judged about your wicked human violation leave Africa for Africans
As for rusesabagina he needed to serve his sentence talking about human rights when he never defended any is total insanity
Whataboutism, plain and simple.
😂😂😂and you are the 1st to run for the green cards😂😂 don’t play that fantasy! And why did you accept their offer to kill Rwandans to put you on power in Kigali?
@sasaubumuntu6683 Rwanda defence force sacrificed their blood to end 32 years of a primitive government. Who ever backs rusesabagina got a connection with him either by dna, curse, or primitivity.. Good luck.. tutsi had no land to call theirs when the government then denied them entry back to their motherland. Since they were not God, God gave us our land back, peace shall reign, if they want war , soldiers are born for that, the rest of you CZcams citizens better finesse those curses of heroes you don't know about
@@JAh921 you should be ashamed talking such none sense! You talk about 32 years 🤣🤣🤣! Rwanda did not start in 1960 my sister! Go back to school if you can afford it! Why really are you making yourselves blind and washed brain! This is not type of Rwandans I ever know!
African countries muat carefull western media they always make propaged
Rwandan is not a country, it's just an open prison for anyone who has a different opinion, anyone who thinks that it's time to bring change and build real democracy, peace and real reconciliation, between Rwandans is called a terrorist.
Incredible and inspirational narratives..
My Rwanda gal, jus swallow the pride, and say yes 🙌 pressure was there from the USA 🇺🇸
Pressure is unrealistic with this flag 🇷🇼 that is why he woke up in kigali in the first place and he was before might return again,,,
Exactly. There was no reason to release someone OF THIS CALIBER who they claimed has contributed to genocide.
@@denfolo5224 USA discussed a deal with Rwanda to reimbursed for his victims who suffered during GENOCIDE and some stupid wars he was funding in Congo and in Nyungwe forest!! Rwanda released him after the deal.
Republicans was embarrassed because George W Bush gave a peace award to a criminal!!! They didn't investigate or do some research to find out if what he claimed he did was true!
Rwanda is not afraid and will never be threatened by the USA it's all bullshit
Free free Rusesabagina
Kagame and his government are killers 🤨
It’s easy to acuse others!
Kagame bends to pressure
Shame on kagame and his team 😅
shame on you who hates Rwanda and his leadership,, we are blessed to have Him
SHAME??? shame is on you who thinks the dude is a hero because he acted something he even didn't do lol and even his fellows who were convicted together with him accuse him so chill and worry about your president. We good in Rwanda
Do you think
The woman, just like the others are very sure of what they say. a small slip-up can lead her into serious trouble
Pressure increases or decreases 😂
When actors and comedians become leaders without looking deep inside into reality, we end up with leaders who are loved by many not because of content and quality but because of their ability to recite scripts. Question ; how are we able to know their depth in independence of thought, word and deed ? Who can't see what's happening in Ukraine today ? How many more actors are leading their nations elsewhere in the world simply because of their ability to recite scripts ?
Did someone realise human weakness of poor indeptth analysis of a quality of leadership. Today in the world we have too many actors, artists and comedians leading community organizations. Unfortunately once the scripts are done, stagnation of nations happens. Africa, look deeper.
I agree Kagame has a huge contribution on Rwanda transformation over the years but he is a leader not to be trusted anymore. He thinks he is the only one capable of governing Rwanda and most Rwandese believe so, the leader who has no ability to groom the best other leader for future succession plan is no Leader and he knows for sure one day he will die. Why not leave governance while still respected? Nelson Mandela saved for a single term and the World will respect him forever.With no disrespect, Thinking that Kagame is the only Rwandan who can run a state is low level of thinking.
Just a matter of politics...President Kagame has won in this matter at all levels !!! He remains a visionary for his country
My President Paul Kagame will always be a hero to the millions of Rwandans who love and respect him! He's a great gentleman.
Yes, He is
Ye???
Kagame is a ruthless evil serial killer
@@proudmganda1159 He's not deal with your problems in Uganda first! We are proud to have him as our president
He is not hero he killed Citizens. In my village
Rusesabagina is hero
There has been alot of pressure on Kagame from the U.S . Kagame, with all other cases sorrounding assasinations of Rwandees, he really wanted to get this off his chest
Can you share your source
You are ugandan! Leave Rwanda issue to Rwandans
@Namatovu why don't you carry your own burden lol gakulemye kunonya kawunga olimubitakukwatako
@@niniarutek7257 The truth is bitter. Just deal with it. Am not the level of those looking for posho like you. If you are part the haunted, just prepare, your time is coming
Kagame has sent a clear message to the world: play with Rwandan national security and stability.....at your own peril.
Long live our beloved President Kagame.
Rwandan Intelligence (NISS) is Like African Mosad
I hope they make a new movie about Paul with Don Cheadle playing him again!
Hotel rwanda hero Paul Rusesabagina. We need Hotel Rwanda 2 from Rwanda prison to USA
Isn’t it fun to be a Rwandan citizen 😂😂😂😂
What will happen if kagame steps down
THIS IS A TERRIBLE PERSON😢
So are you
Yep, when you learn your history from hollywood.... Ask Rwandans who were in that hotel and compare with the movie. The west/world telling people what happened in their country based on a movie. Oh dear oh dear!
Exactly
But what's wrong with the west media, let tell you something in Rwanda we don't work under pressure and if he repeats the mistakes he will find himself again in the jail, I can see you just want to show the world that Rusesabagina was innocent which isn't true at all I think you just have to tell the truth instead of those nonsense but let me ask you why aren't you quoting the letter he wrote to our president? I think it's your right time to deal with your problems than claiming to be saviors of human rights which you violate .
They were under pressure they kidnapped Paul because his political opinions hurt Kagames feelings it’s freedom of speech get over it. How will they kidnap him again huh
That's hypocrisy.. the journalist talking of human rights, but not talking about the victims of Rusesabagina terror attacks by FLN
Even when I look on your face,I guess that you are lying.
We are ready. We've been ready since last year. Woow???
Oh please
Kagame is truly a dictator
Aha! What has the British Gov. offered Rwanda?
I don't trust that he has learned from his actions. Rwanda better keep a good eye on him.
False hero👎
As Rwandans we knows the truth. Our love and choice is our Hero president Paul Kagame ♥️❤🇷🇼
Qatar mediated his release.
UK government looking out of touch at the best of times, but shipping people to Rwanda is a new level of foolish. Embarrassing imo
I would not be surprised if Paul Kagame has in final the same fate of his Haitian colleague the apprentice dictator Jovenel Moïse.
They're name sakes too, how ironic lol but glad he's now free.
Building a country on liars in open haven, a gouvernement with full of criminals, welcoming refugees from different places while you have a conflict between yourself hutu, twa and tutsi,
The arrogance of the reporter, she wanted the lady to say, its due to the U.S pressure, rubbish, we are Africa, we do not care what the .u.S thinks
Well said
That is what happened. Stop being blind to facts just because she is white. Many other prisoners are in Rwandan jails with lesser crimes than his but would not be released this quickly.
We'll the more research I work on and the more truth I find the angry I become. you see nothing is true by base on what is seen or showed on media air ways. before the 1994 Rwanda conflict Paul Kagame was i the United States being trained my American Army intelligence, being trained in how to miniplate a countries people political system. Up until this day the American State department with their intelligent department will not open the files to the public concerning Rwanda from 1990 to 1995. The whole Rwanda 1994 conflick was planned, designed by RPLF and American Intelligent just for the purpose of region change.
Imperialism and colonialism have not place in Africa , stop bullying Africans countries by dictating them what to do
Kagome kagonyori puuu.....
You curse him but Rusesabagina isn't cursing him now. The political game is over!!!!
Shame on kidnappers n shame on kidnappers supporters the Western countries
Amazing how the Channel 4 is discussing the matter with Ruanda Secretary, the journalist is infringing country hegemony, the same behavior from 200 years of colonial disservice to humanity. Despite of I disregard the Ruanda Government it is a political affair, in addition UK is part of Human Rights issues financing a government sending silence seeker to there (Ruanda).
shut your trap .the guy was abducted by a dictator who is power for more than 30 years.
He might have been freed from prison, but the prison will keep in him forever. This is political matter.
WHY AREE RELEASING HIM. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHO IS INTERESTED IN HIM OR WHO IS CONCERNED ABOUT HIM . I LOVE PAUL KAGAME. BUT PAUL KAGAME MUST BE CAREFUL WITH TRUSTING THE WESTERN COUNTRIES AND HOW HE IS MAKING DEALS WITH THE WEST..
WHY WILL YOU TAKE REFUGEES FROM UK TO AFREEKA .
Money, nothing more than Money.
hahaah he is playing politics I promise you he wont go any where. They may let me out now and put him later after elections
😂😂😂😂😂😂 he is dead
Well now we know where Suella got her idea of flights to Rwanda! Hidious
Ko ataravuga se yagiye Ari muzima ? Cg ni igihuha
How is this USA business???
He was a USA resident
Oh, Paul Kagame!!!
Gone are the days of Kagame playing politics based on murder and lies that the United States put an end to. Kagame does not know
time
Its already still exceeds .
Very disrespectful interviewer
Is your Hero not our Hero as Rwandans 🇷🇼 stop talking yr propaganda from nonsense ideas
Thank you for your help that UK will send boatloads
Kagame stopping genocide?😂😂😂 he had to do it because he is it’s planer ! However his extermination of Rwandans never ended! You falsely quote the Rwandan history
I really don't understand what will you gain from lying here except for the God's wrath on judgement day. Whyyy
@@tuyishimemoses4662Kagame is just another dictator doing dictator things
Dont forget that 4 years later he was involved in the bloodiest war since the Second World War
President P.Kagame Is Not A Joking Subject In Africa
The latest chspter in a hollywood tail ended in hand cuffs repretition
😮
Kagame just turned his tail. Long live Paul Rusesabagina !
U guys have no shame 🤦
@@iradukundaissa1591 RPF had no shame. All the charges against him are completely falsified. Who gave your dictator the right to kidnap a Belgian citizen? Paul , not Kagame at all , is the real hero of the genocide in Rwanda.And your boss masterminded it by shooting down Habyarimana's plane.
You don't know what you are saying. I pity you
@@gentilgedeon4260 Tell me something i don't know. Who killed Kizito Mihigo ? Who incarcerated and harrased opposition.? Who killed millions of Congolese ,who support m-23 and banyamulenge rebels? Who had 99 % at the polls
Who is responsible for Kibeho massacre ? Why are you ,tutsis , lying all the time.
@@Albertonification 99% at the polls lol 😂, ( and in the context of Hutu 85%, Tutsi 14%, Twa 1%) its a pity a lot of these African like Kagame behave like little kids bullying others in a playground.
You are not ashamed to call him hero when nobody calls him hero among survivors. Sometimes the way you play your politics show the less mental capacity. The trial was fair and public. USA proved to Rwandans that there is no democracy in this World and it is ridiculous.
It so disgusting that kagame jailed this man for no reason
Dictator Kagame
African hero
No one is talking about how this man charged refugees money in order to hide them in the so called hotel. Read a book titled, The Truth About Hotel of Rwanda.” Rusesabagina is not a hero. He is inciting violence against the Tutsi people. He is has been finding the very people who killed over one million Tutsis and moderate Hutus in Rwandan genocide of 1994.
Hhh another kagame's young fed propagandist 🤣😂.
Anyway first ask yourself these below qns .
Who wrote that book?
Where was it printed from?
In 2004 during the launch of hotel Rwanda movie which took place in kigali ,the junta and tyrant kagame was one of the vvp guests who were at that launch and kagame himself confessed that the movie of hotel Rwanda by rusesabagina was based on a true story then for you ,you are here to oppose the kagame's confession 🤣😂
Wat a fck
Umm slow poke he had to bribe off the killers.
