Info 27: Kigali Under Pressure: Paul Kagame Admits Sanctions 'Hurt'

Rwandan President Paul Kagame acknowledged that international sanctions have a significant impact on Kigali, stating at the Africa CEO Forum that 'it hurts' and 'we are suffering.' This change in tone comes after new sanctions were imposed in response to Rwanda's alleged support for the M23 rebels in Eastern DRC. Kagame's remarks reflect a growing concern about international pressure, contrasting with the previous confidence displayed by the Rwandan government.
