Editor,President Paul Kagame spent the better part of last week in Hong Kong and China, where he courted businesses to invest in Africa and in Rwanda, in particular; addressed the World Economic Forum; spoke to university students; and interacted with Rwandan students there. Shortly before that trip, the President had spent most of his time giving interviews and attending regional meetings with regard to the latest crisis in the neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). While the Rwandan government has been wrongly accused of backing a rebellion in DRC, it has remained composed and focused on doing what it has done better done anyone else – concentrating on what can improve the livelihood of its people.Therefore, it is telling that while the Congolese government sent emissaries around the world to badmouth  Rwanda, President Kagame has been to the Far East wooing investors to bring their monies to Africa, selling the continent as a hugely endowed territory with unlimited opportunities. In fact, while the Congolese continue to speak ill of him, they are likely to benefit from his trip because he made a case for Africa’s investment opportunities as a whole, not just for Rwanda. That sets Kagame apart and distinguishes him as a true pan-African leader who cares for the wellbeing of the African people, their nationality notwithstanding.Brian KalisaKampala
