Paul Rusesabagina: “If Kagame were intelligent, he would withdraw from Congo without being forced out”

In an interview with ACTUALITE.CD from Washington, Paul Rusesabagina discusses his abduction and imprisonment in Rwanda, saying other prisoners died or were killed there. He condemns the lack of human rights and the risks faced by opposition figures, citing the killing in Uganda of Major Roberts, a Rwandan who had fled his country. He also describes the case of FDU leader Victoire Kabere, who was arrested after seeking to campaign in the 2010 presidential election and detained again years later. Rusesabagina criticizes Rwanda’s presence in eastern DR Congo and says Kagame should withdraw before being forced to do so.

He cited the Lagos-Calabar, Sokoto-Badagry and Trans-Sahara highways, electricity-grid upgrades and modernised Lagos ports, alongside investments in health, education and vocational training. Tinubu said the Lagos-Calabar highway could cut logistics costs along its route by 15 to 20 per cent, add up to 2 per cent to GDP and create about 100,000 direct jobs and more than 150,000 indirect jobs. He linked infrastructure investment to his goal of a $1 trillion economy by 2030, saying real GDP growth reached 4.43 per cent in the second quarter of 2026 and inflation fell to 14.63 per cent in September.
