Paul Kagame is a Rwandan politician and military leader. He is President of Rwanda, having taken office in 2000. Kagame previously commanded the Rwandan Patriotic Front a Uganda-based proxy force which invaded Rwanda in 1990. He was considered Rwanda's de facto leader when he was Vice President and Minister of Defence under President Pasteur Bizimungu from 1994 to 2000.

Background

Paul Kagame was born to a Tutsi family in southern Rwanda. When he was two years old, the Rwandan Revolution ended centuries of Tutsi political dominance; his family fled to Uganda, where he spent the rest of his childhood.

Ugandan army

In the 1980s, Kagame fought in Yoweri Museveni's rebel army, becoming a senior Ugandan army officer after Museveni's military victories carried him to the Ugandan presidency.

Rwandan Patriotic Front

Paul Kagame joined the Rwandan_Patriotic_Front taking control of the group when previous leader Fred Rwigyema died on the second day of the 1990 invasion. By 1993, the Rwandan_Patriotic_Front controlled significant territory in Rwanda and a ceasefire was negotiated.

President Habyarimana

The assassination of Rwandan President Juvénal Habyarimana in April 1994 set off the genocide, in which (according to the official narrative) Hutu extremists killed an estimated 500,000 to 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu. Kagame resumed the civil war, and ended the genocide with a military victory.

In March 2007, lawyer Michael Hourigan blamed Paul Kagame for President Habyarimana's death.

Killing critics

The Independent, in 2014 reported that

Over the years, a succession of prominent critics and campaigners, judges and journalists, have been killed. They have been beaten, beheaded, shot and stabbed, both at home in Rwanda and abroad in nervous exile. Some were good people, others far from saints – and their deaths came after crossing Kagame.

In 2021 Justin Bahunga described Rwanda as a "one-man show of Paul Kagame."

British exports

In April 2022, British Home Secretary Priti Patel concluded an agreement with President Kagame whereby asylum seekers in the UK would be exported to Rwanda.

British Home Secretary Priti Patel concluding an export agreement with President Kagame

The UK will send asylum seekers who attempt to cross the English Channel to Rwanda for processing, after sealing a £120 million deal with the Rwandan government.

British Home Secretary Priti Patel will sign the agreement this afternoon during a visit to Rwanda’s capital, Kigali, following nine months of negotiations and several failed attempts to reach similar deals with other countries and offshore territories.

Asylum seekers judged by the Home Office to likely be economic migrants would be flown to the Commonwealth country and held in a facility until their application is processed, while the rest of the asylum seekers would stay in stricter, Greek-style centres in Britain until the Home Office makes a decision on their applications. The first of such centres is expected to open in Linton-on-Ouse, North Yorkshire.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the deal in a speech Thursday in Kent, in which he argued Britain “cannot sustain a parallel immigration system” along with its post-Brexit points-based system because it creates unsustainable pressure for the UK taxpayer and is unfair to those applying to settle in Britain through “safe and legal routes.”

“From today, our new migration and economic partnership will mean that anyone arriving in the UK illegally as well as those who have arrived illegally since 1 January 2022 may now be relocated to Rwanda,” he said.

“This innovative approach, driven by our shared humanitarian impulse and made possible by Brexit freedoms, will provide safe and legal routes for asylum while disrupting the business model of the gangs because it means economic migrants taking advantage of the asylum system will not stay in the UK.”
