Washington: Paul Rusesabagina, the ‘Hotel Rwanda’ hero, recounts the ‘hell’ of his detention

In Washington, Paul Rusesabagina told the National Endowment for Democracy about his abduction in Rwanda on August 27, 2020, and his detention. He says he was bound, taken to a “safe house” where he was tortured, and then held in solitary confinement for two years and seven months. He recounts being allowed just one monitored five-minute call each week with his wife, using coded language to communicate. The former director of the Hôtel des Mille Collines says he sheltered 1,268 people during the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi before going into exile in 1996.

He also listed energy, infrastructure, local mineral processing, food security and fertilizer as DRC economic priorities.

Flávio Bolsonaro calls himself 'leader of Brazil' after election loss

After losing Brazil’s presidential run-off to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Flávio Bolsonaro published a letter from the United States describing himself as Brazil’s “leader” and alleging, without evidence, that the election was fraudulent. He has not conceded, despite Lula’s 4.4-million-vote margin, and says he will lead the opposition from the US. Bolsonaro left Brazil after failing to surrender his passports as ordered by the Supreme Court in a money-laundering investigation; he has not been charged and denies wrongdoing. Both campaigns had requested extended voting hours, the electoral authority said the vote was conducted normally, and about 34,000 people voted during the extension.
