Editor,

Indeed Rwandans should always be reminded by our leaders that "our history makes us who we are” I’m grateful with the way President Paul Kagame always inculcated into Rwandans the idea of nationalism and integrity.

This will determine the future of Rwanda and it’s social, political and economic development. Kagame is a gifted leader providing service Above-Self. We also have Rwanda Defence Forces (RDF) to make us very proud. It’s a great army with unmatched discipline. 

I therefore call upon my fellow Africans not to value these external forces which have selfish negative motives toward our continent due to different interests and diversities they have about Africa.

Otherwise, it is very discouraging to hear that some African leaders are still being influenced by individual interests. Yet it’s time to focus on development of African regional integration whose aim is to unite Africans.
