In an interview President Kagame had with social media Influencers on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, President Paul Kagame undermined and dismissed Ingabire Victoire as a "small woman" his speech targeting opposition leader Victoire Ingabire left the world in shock, raising serious questions about his behavior and commitment to democratic principles
Kagame said " You see this small woman, of a genocidaire; they want the whole world to believe she is an opponent. Actually, they wish for her to be the president of Rwanda. She also believes it and is everywhere giving lectures, but it is not Rwandans who believe this story.
Paul Kagame must understand that not all Rwandans share his negative views of Victoire Ingabire. Many people see her as a symbol of hope and a strong candidate for president. She could likely be elected if elections were fair, reflecting what the people truly want in a democracy.
Victoire Ingabire, a key figure in Rwandan politics, stands for democratic participation and representation. Despite her dedication to justice and the rights of all Rwandans, Kagame undermines her, dismissing her as a "small woman" and falsely claiming she is delusional about becoming president
Paul Kagame, Rwanda's long-time president, is known for speaking to the nation's youth with arrogance, manipulation, and falsehoods. His recent negative remarks about Victoire Ingabire illustrate a persistent strategy to discredit genuine political opposition.
Kagame's refusal to allow Ingabire and other serious candidates, like Diane Rwigara, and Thomas Nahimnana a fair opportunity to participate in elections reveals a deep-seated fear of true democratic competition. His behavior undermines Rwanda's political development and disenfranchises those who seek genuine democratic reforms.
Kagame's recent speech reflects his ongoing efforts to silence opposition and maintain his grip on power. By attacking Ingabire and questioning her legitimacy, he not only disrespects her but also the democratic process. His actions suggest an authoritarian approach that is at odds with the principles of fair governance and open political dialogue.
This rhetoric is problematic for several reasons:
Character Assassination: By referring to Ingabire as a genocidaire, Kagame is engaging in character assassination without providing concrete evidence. This undermines democratic principles and the rule of law, as accusations should be substantiated through legal processes rather than public vilification.
Suppression of Political Dissent: Kagame's speech reflects an attempt to delegitimize political opposition. In a healthy democracy, opponents should be allowed to express their views and compete fairly in the political arena. Suppressing dissent stifles political debate and hinders progress.
Manipulation of Public Perception: By suggesting that international observers are misled about Ingabire's intentions, Kagame implies that only his narrative is valid. This manipulative approach aims to control public perception and maintain power by discrediting any opposition.
Dismissal of Legitimate Criticism: Kagame's remarks dismiss the concerns and criticisms raised by Ingabire and others. Instead of addressing these issues constructively, he resorts to attacking the character of his opponents, which detracts from addressing the real challenges facing Rwanda.

Kagame asigaye ameze nk'umwana. Ni ukubera ubusaza cyangwa ni uko ateye?
Mu kwiyamamaza muri Gasabo, Inkuru y'uyu munsi ivuga ko yageze mu Kiyovu hafi y'inzu ya Habyarimana ntacyo itwungura.
Uko byamugendekeye ni bisanzwe ni nako undi wese wahageze byamugendekera. Cyakora noneho twamenye ko azi ko mu Rwanda hari ascenseur icyo gihe yahasuraga . Ntabwo azatubirwa ko ariwe wasanye ascenseur mu Rwanda.
Hanyuma hagati aho ati kariya kagore gato kitwa Ingabire ntigakwiye gutegeka u Rwanda. Murebye neza ese mwambira niba Frank Habineza asumba Ingabire Victoire?
