Paul Kagame, President of the Republic of Rwanda, rose to prominence as the leader of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), whose victory over the incumbent government in July 1994 effectively ended the Rwandan genocide. Under his leadership, Rwanda has been called Africaââ¬â¢s ââ¬Åbiggest success storyââ¬Â and Kagame has become a public advocate of new models for foreign aid designed to help recipients become self-reliant. However, involvement in the Congo Civil War and the recent and mysterious death of opposition deputy Andre Kagwa Rwisereka has seen doubts raised over his Governments policies and motives, particularly regarding political freedom.
