Rwanda may be the most unlikely economic success story that has ever existed. The tragic events of 1994 destroyed any semblance of a modern nation state. Yet Rwanda has been one of the fastest developing nations in the last 20 years. In almost every metric that measures the quality of a nation, Rwanda has made remarkable improvements that can only be described as a miracle. How has Rwanda done it and is its miracle just too good to be true?

I won’t but ehh sounds cool
No mention of France in Rwanda history? Interesting what u choose to leave out.
Crime even lower then America, change your name you are not a scholar, how can you compare America to any country in the world, where there is much more guns than people. A place where children get shot down in schools and people get killed in church or while shopping. Robbery and murder every day across every city in America. IAM American I live here, please stop making bs videos. Take the time to study historical facts before putting BS videos out. Go do videos on Ukraine and Europe.
This is garbage, nothing I did not know
Where can I find the music used in this video?
Rwanda saw Black Panther and said “I can do that”
😂😂😂lol
And they didn’t need no meteorite-supplied magical super-duper mineral to do it, did they?…
Plot twist: Paul Kageme will play his role as Black Panther on the upcoming sequel. 😉😁
True
@@wazzup233
Well… 😏He does have a rather “informative” _background experiences_ …
I’m starting to see a theme:
- Security stability.
- Corruption free
- Investing in the most important resource: people
Securing stability is a soft way to say. Ethnic cleansing.
@@The_Conqueeftador You can only believe that if you’re a Hutu genocidaire.
@@The_Conqueeftador they didn’t do massacres on Hutus tho?
@@The_Conqueeftador More like silencing any opponent, like in Singapore. They didn't take revenge in this case.
Even though he is, by European standards, a dictator, and banning freedom of speech, he did it for the greater good. Because of this, racism, for example, is banned as a result
As a South Korean, it is shocking to see how similar Rwanda's economic miracle is to Korea's "Miracle on the Han River." We had a president/dictator very similar to Kagame named Jung-hee Park. Korea grew from nothing to a functioning middle-income nation during his rule. We eventually became democratic and his iron-fist legacy was tarnished, but many people still appreciate and respect his efforts in Korea's economic growth. Hope Rwanda follows the same path as us and eventually joins the world stage as a democratic and developed nation. Let's show the world that former colonies can do as well as former colonizers. 🇰🇷❤🇷🇼
💕 your approach is fantastic & inspiration of hope 👍🏼
God bless South Korea and Rwanda!
I find it interesting that dictators with an understanding of economics seem surprisingly likely to willingly restore democracy
This is what make us proud, as a young Rwandan I'm happy I have been an eyewitness of this change, and i will do my best to protect and participate in more development of my native country.
It will only happen when u stay out of congo
Hope the best Man
@@kingkabakamozey6963congolese blaming everyone except themselves
You have a golden leader. Don't worry about the copy and paste of the Western democracy. Singapor was transfered from poorest nation into wealthiest nation under one great leader who stayed in power for thirty years. As long as a leader is doung good, why risk to replace him by other one?
Protect your country and do your best
This a great content. As a Rwandan living in Rwanda right now I like the fact that this content is not biased in any aspect. I'm happy that you got Tell the world about the good stuff about Rwanda, the negativities but also ended up speaking about what we should pay attention too. And as any other nations in the world we have our issues but we always work so hard on addressing them
Paul Kagame is a brilliant guy so I am entirely sure he can accomplish great things for your country. Good luck going forward!
are you a tutu or tutsi?
Essentially your government realizes if everyone is rich enough to legally screw each other over in petty rivalries that are just as self destructive, there won't be a war to remove them.
The American model
@@davidmiller4532 Kagame isn't a brilliant guy
Hopefully Rwanda can also achieve economic and social developments while giving attention to work-life balance of its people. Avoid going too much into the footsteps of some countries that are notorious for forcing their workers to do overworking from early morning until late night. Such culture will have a great impact on people's work-life balance and also a country's birth rates.
People don’t realize how hard and almost impossible it is to get to that level of social economic development that Rwanda has achieved as a tiny landlocked country, with no natural ressources and torn by ethnic hatred and a terrible genocide! It's just mindblowing!
they have achieved this by funding war in the DRC.
When you have a strong leader who cares and inspires, anything is possible
Currently living in Rwanda, and i must say that what youve highlighted in ur video is pretty much spot on. Its not a perfect country neither is it a bad/poor country. Its a country that is just struggling to thrive and put a horrendous past behind. So far... They've been doing a great job.
and their president has been funding war happening in the neighboring countries.
considering how its a miniscule landlocked country that went through genocide, a great job is an understatement. rwanda should be an inspiration for developing nations
I am South African and Rwanda and Botswana are getting a lot of things right! These countries I definitely plan on visiting.
Namibia , Ivory Coast and Ghana are doing great too
You should definitely visit Mauritius too

As someone who stays in a country neighboring country to Rwanda and I have also visited Rwanda. It's really growing at a stable speed. But it all comes to great leadership
@@zeik04 I wouldn't exactly call Europe after the Bronze Age Collapse stable and prosperous, or the fall of Rome, or the Wars of Religion, or the 30 years war, or the 100 years war...
@@zeik04 you do, apparently. So do the people in my division, the department head, the XO and the CO, aboard the SSBN. When we go to 1SQ, the technicians care when I give orders. The Officer of the Deck cares when I give recommendations for ship navigation. What do *you* do for a living?
@@zeik04 Lol, have fun with that. I'll let the CIA and surface navy take care of that, and the fast attacks. Enjoy your life while it lasts.

Keep growing Rwanda 🇷🇼. Love from India 🇮🇳❤️
Love from Odisha Bose 👍
Thanks for the love. Visit sometime plz. You won't regret it I promise
As a Rwandan I can't help but feel the urge to put a footnote on every 5 sec of the video but I truly appreciate it. Thank you, this the best there is out here!
Could you tell me what country was he speaking about that had the violence?
@@MaLiArtworks186 Democratic Republic of Congo. Rwanda has a hand in the conflicts that happens in Eastern Congo.
@@afroskywalker Thank you@
It’s my dream to live in Rwanda God willing
I pray that all African countries rise together in unity and strength.
It's so rare that you get a military takeover, with a single-party, non-democratic system that. ACTUALLY cares for it's people and wisely invests foreign aid.
Great job for them! I just hope it lasts. Problem with that government structure is that they just need one sht leader to come into power and destroy all the previous leaders hard work.
Very true. I really hope Rwanda can figure it out before a bad transition of power happens
The benevolence from the elite is not gratuitous. It's self-preservation. Don't get it twisted, the government has to provide its population with services and improved economics otherwise instability would return which would be a net loss for everybody, but especially the Tutsi elite. Those benefit help with political alienation but for how long? With greater education comes greater political awareness, the moment those benefits stops (e.g. because of a global economic crisis), it's game over
Benevolent dictatorship. Like Singapore. It is rare that it happens, but it happens.It is rare that an absolute ruler can resist self-enrichment at the expense of all others, but it happens. The West tends to value political freedom; other places tend to value security. Generally speaking, as long as a regime provides security and prosperity, political freedom never becomes a priority. Again-Singapore.
@@ejtattersall156 That's true as long as the prosperity and security lasts and as long as the regime remains competent. When it doesn't, things can change very rapidly.
@@pattersong6637 Yes. Unfortunately the pattern is chaos, security, chaos, security, chaos, security. The fear of the remembered chaos period reinforces clinging to, and looking for security. Russia, China, the Middle East (see the Arab Spring) and so forth. When a dictator or absolute ruler dies or get old, the next phase is chaos.
Rwanda will become a shining example in Africa. Hope it goes well for Rwanda 🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼
Let’s go RWANDA
Botswana is already an example.
@@nikkidoten3213 Yes but it started very well or relatively well, from the beginning. Unlike Rwanda who like most African countries was in deep troubles.
@@bobbatons1720 Botswana started as a nation with 12 km of paved roads, as the (almost) poorest country on earth, and with a modest population. They didn't have it good until they found diamonds, though.
@@nikkidoten3213 lots of aids tho. Morocco Tunisia are probably the best large mainland African countries.
As a person who's read quite a lot on Rwanda over the years, this video is well researched
Thank you! I really appreciate it :)
its not. No mention of the EAF
Definitely not well researched. There's no ethnic tensions in Rwanda nor does the so called Tutsi (s) run the country. He's got a few things right and others absolutely wrong
@@kointhecut5655 you are either too naive or you have entry level mainstream info on the country
You have read a lot on Rwanda and nothing on the Congolese Genocide still going on. Nothing about the fact we Congolese have the most Coltan and Cobalt in the world but Rwanda is the one of the first Exporters. Nothing on the UN Mapping report of 2010 that condemns Rwanda and Uganda in the financing and militarization of rebels in DRCongo? This Sh*t is Propaganda
I'm so proud of Rwanda, they really have become another successful country like Botswana, Angola, Kenya, etc
Lol did you say kenya?
@@kijanabastol8236 he his not ashamed on himself
@@kijanabastol8236 Yes it is.

Excellent video mate.I'm from Singapore ,to see war torn country into beautiful country with stability is astonishing.Singapore is the financial capital of Asia with good governance.i am very proud to see an African nation taking Singapore as an example to transform itself into a successful nation.Paul Kagame is an outstanding leader for your country.Hope he lives a long healthy life to continue building Rwanda.Amazing indeed.
Thank you!
Singapore is an urban jungle which suffocates people
Really goes to show that a good dictator can save a country with the righr backing (Singapore and Rwanda) while the wrong dictator who mess with the wrong people can destroy a country (kim dynasty, Maduro, saddam)
In this country Tutsi possess 99% of wealth of Rwanda Hutu possess 1% !
@@inhispresence9581 *Yah, that's should be how it is. After the genocide of Tutsis by Hutus, it's amazing how Tutsis let even a single Hutu alive. If it was up to me, I wouldn't have!!*
Paul Kagame knows democracy, as defined, is dangerous for his people for now. Even Rwandans know that changing presidents and leadership every now and then is not always the right thing to do.
that's something people don't want to admit, democracy isn't a cure all and can even be dangerous.
Another example is somalia. In its Islamic sultanates and its later communist dictatorship it was fine. Tribal violence was controlled and people were not just meeting their needs, but many were actually doing well.
In both democracy periods somalia was a weak and barely existing state. Quite simply democracy doesn't work for it due to the tribes being so antagonistic to eachother and nepotism and corruption being so high.
Sometimes you need a bit of structure more than you need freedom.
Too much freedom leads to chaos, not enough leads to dystopia.
I agree 100%. Best example is Kenya where democracy has made sure we get a constant supply of corrupt leaders
@@georgepresley5120 Kenya needs a willing, positive minded, performing dictator
Kenya is no democracy .....we have no leadership.....
And subjects are just serfs who are productive for foreigners !!!
@@resentfuldragon i agree bro too much freedom and what they called democracy isn't better us more and more freedom caused unstable country west and Africa is indifferent
As a Singaporean, congratulations on verifying our governance style. As our first PM, Lee Kuan Yew's 30 years in power has gone down in history as necessary for stability at the start, but clinging to power towards the tail end when succession plans were finally put in place. Hopefully this is also followed in Rwanda, becuase succession planning in a authoratative state will take a long time.
Succession is always the problem for autocratic styles. You guys are absolutely the sparkling exception to the rule.
@@cavaleermountaineer3839 well hopefully it can have a great follow up
singapore is just a rich version of north korea… both north korea and singapore must be abolished
Singapore and Rwanda had the right approach. We Indians took democracy first and then languished for so long after that (till early 1990s). Luckily things are improving these days, but it is still a massive pain in the butt when democratic structures show how inefficient they can be with stuff like socialist schemes at the cost of development just to attract gullible voters.
@@user-uh5bx1zg7b I don't think you realize why North Korea is bad in the first place
Thank you sir for the great documentary but here are the few points to collect.
1.The 1994 Genocide against The Tutsi claimed over 1 million lives [Till today , bodies are still dug from the holes and grounds in different parts of the country]
2.Before Colonization Tutsi , Hutu and Twa were economical classes. Having more than 10 cows would immediately put you in Tutsi class , Having lower than that would make you Hutu and ‘‘twas were living off the other works other than farming and agriculture.
3.2004 Rwanda abolished the Tribal identification and today it is punishable by Rwandan Law.
Next time , Reach out to Rwandans not only by reading Google ❤️👋
Yo the best. I've been trying to figure a way of how i can communicate all this you reiterated
I hope all of Africa becomes as rich as Rwanda, i really hate to see that some companies take advantage of their poverty. In about 30 years, i hope Africa becomes as stable as Europe and the quality of life improves.
Agreed. Wealthy nations need to stop making Africa dependent on them, and actually get African leaders to properly allocate funds into long term investment, so they can become self-sufficient and wealthy.
If Africa becomes great, it benefits the whole world. Hundreds of millions more people with ideas and innovation. That's a good thing!

Family is from Nigeria and wish we could learn some of these lessons from our cousins in Rwanda. Much love
I learning about several African Countries but I noticed that your Country Nigeria will be difficult to restructure because the population & different ethnic groups .The only solution is to divide the country into 6 countries Blessings
This was the playbook for nearly all the colonial powers. Go into the country and find the factions who don't like each other. Then pit them against one another and make yourself into the neutral peacekeeper to justify your continued rule over them. The British and Dutch were masters of this in India, Rwanda, South Africa, Nigeria, Congo. When you can make them hate each other more than you, you'll be able to rule over them without them asking why they even submit in the first place.
Divide and rule, the Romans were master at it, that's how they colonized the West. A classic and timeless tool. It's currently happening in the US.
It's consequences tends to last for decades or even centuries as well . Look at all these countries for example , so many of them still have religious/ethnicity war . Primary example would be India where there's still tension between Hindu/Muslim even though the British left India years ago
I just wanted to send my best wishes to Rwanda for a successful future from us here in Australia.

this brings real joy to heart that people who suffered so much is winning by their on hardwork..... its always amazing how certain part of world picks on good vibe and turn it into something beautiful....
Reality is worst then this. Rwanda gets 50% of its budget from international help and most of the other 50% from robberies of congo. Since 1994 tutsis are equipped in weapons by powerful countries to do so. It is a small country with a lot of help. There is no miracle.
Yes like killing the congolese people, that’s not hardwork, that’s stealing.
Winning by their hard work? You meaning getting better thanks to European help and innovation 😂
@@GratDuForloradeArgumentet : These rwandes are good at making westerns feel guilty. Now they let those extremist tutsi do wathever they want. They can kill, still without any fear.

@@augustomundombe829 I think when Africa speaks of the west especially given its history; I'd like to keep ALL parties involved in the atrocities that was done, and still being done in other ways.

I never heard a complaint from ANY Northwest African nation ask for REPARATIONS from those who assisted in the 15th, 16th, and 17th genocidal actions of Colonialism/imperialism who happen to be African themselves feel about tbeir role in all this after all they had a grievances with those effected my ancestors of Negroland 🤦🏽♀️ to extend on their part, when they the Africans did business with the Europeans, Spanish, Dutch, French, Arabs, Asians etc etc whomever they did deals with; by selling my ancestors for profits of whatever money, gold, silver, tea, tobacco, wood, ivory etc etc whatever it was for, they got the short end of the stick, because their business partners turned on them too! Which is how the women of this Tribe became warriors in the first place. They the Europeans and their associates were murdering them off after obtaining enough people to build around the world, all the places they colonized 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽♀️ these women Essentially rescued the men of that tribe by going to battle to save their people, not land! But people their very existence. Obviously it worked and that's why these women are honored as they are today because what they did for their tribe, not one African nation that fell to Colonialism or imperialism could and that's SURVIVE AND WIN AGAINST THE ENEMY. Again these people weren't shipped abroad though! So that's why their still where their at living in water lakes. Them running to the lake was a way to survive what was going on, on land!

Singapore, due to its authoritarian regime, has ended up as a state heavily reliant on migrant workers and lacking natural fertility rates, resulting in a society where individuals primarily work and eventually pass away. This diminishes its status as a successful example of a thriving nation.

Long live Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️best continent
As a South African, Rwanda gives me so much hope that under the right leadership African countries can literally become first world countries in 30 years or less.
But Rwanda is not better than SA or is it's leadership, we can either go by hype or by real conducted research. SA is already a powerhouse that is transforming the whole continent while Rwanda is stealing resources in DRC, what kind of hope is that? I believe Rwanda people are actually good people better than their leadership but the only thing I like about Paul is that, he controls his borders and who float In. SA already runs African corporate and SA is a member of BRICS which is shaping the world. You can't compare leadership of SA with Rwanda. SA vision is a global one, most of what SA is facing to day is not internal but external because the progress we made on BRICS has pissed the west and we are already at war with them and this is because our leaders have balls
As an African and Moroccan🇲🇦, Well done Rwanda! Keep it up ! 💪🏽💪🏽 Our Continent is the best one, everyone says that, we just need to keep improving.
Democray doesn't bring prosperity, prosperity brings democracy. Don't worry about Rwanda, they're doing fine
Democracy lead them to genocide and division. This clown want them to abandon what is working and go back to democracy.

I love this video from the beginning to the end. As a Rwandan living in Diaspora and visiting Rwanda on several occasions to see my family and friends, I totally agree with everything you raised in here. I visited Rwanda 2019, this is after more than 20 years ago of not seeing my country, I was so impressed to see the steps taken by my people and the current government led by His Excellency President Paul Kagame. I know we have issues as any country in this globe but it's so fascinating to see Rwanda addressing these issues from time to time. The model really works and any time, I travel overseas or back in Africa, I am always a proud Rwandan. There are a lot we can still learn from other nations and other nations can learn from Rwanda.

Again thank you for this Video, I love to watch many kinds of this.
Especially Vlog style vids.
Love you all😘🇷🇼
Hi there please lets connect I am interest in setting up farms in Rwana I know no one there lets connect I am from South Africa
Can’t believe it only takes one decent person in charge.
His successor is a big question.
Same as the Singapore does with the same mothed of governance and it's really effective
Yes a good intentioned dictator can achieve much more than a democracy.
The question is what happens when he dies/replaced.
@@yunleung2631 gonna be a power vacuum with war 😁
@@diabolivirtusen-tavares-ea4645 I hope not
This is proof that, although democracy is ideal, sometimes one single benevolent leader can redeem their people.
The problem comes when that leader dies.
If the majority are uneducated then how can you expect the majority to make good choices about who should lead?
Fact ☑️
The western version of democracy is just choosing whether you want to have McDonalds CEO or coca cola CEO as a president, so its far from ideal.
From underdeveloped to developed for Rwanda is a technical milestone for Rwanda and the world hope they keep the legacy
My Grandma and Grandpa were in Rwanda back in the day as part of a german development mission. They were evacuated by the Bundeswehr once the killing started. They tried to hide some people before they had to go, and did what they could to help them. It made them very sad, because they loved the country, but they are happy that the situation has improved that much. Good video!
I am seeing a lot of parrallels with Singapore. Which in itself was country with extreme ethnic violence, no land resources and abysmal governmental help, but now it stands as one of the richest, most educated and most international interagated countries in the world. This is beautiful happy to see rwanda grow into a proper nation.
Kagame took his inspiration from Singapore and has stated this fact many times
Singapore is smaller than lake Okeechobee lol it's more of a city than a country itself
4:14 that shot is so beautifull. Imagine what a african "modern' suburb could look like with houses inspired in traditional huts

Goosebumps tbh.

Who would've thought that leaders prioritizing the wellbeing of the people would bring them prosperity
When I was in middle school that had a Tutsi man who fled the Rawandan Genocide as a child and became a refugee come and talk to us. What he saw and described was very disturbing. It’s scary to hear about the true horror of genocide straight from the source. He talked about the evils of hate and how he channeled his own hate towards the people who killed his family towards educating himself and working hard. He was lucky to make a life for himself and move to the US. It’s amazing that Rawanda was able to recover from that disaster and become what it is today. I hope other nations in Africa can find models to succeed as well. What Europe did to them is just so sad and has several crippled them, but eventually I believe they will catch up to us and possibly even overtake parts of the West. The more educated and prosperous Africa becomes the more prosperous the entire world will become.
I mean, Europe recovered from WWI and WWII. Human resilience (and population growth) can be astounding.
Yeah, the US did nothing wrong!
@@sergpie Population growth is Africa’s greatest problem, not an advantage. In one human lifetime, Nigeria alone is projected to add more people to its population than the entire current population of the EU - nearly half a billion people. There is no likely scenario in which that ends well.
@@mebsrea 😂😂 you don't know what you are saying, In Kenya we had the same mentality as you have, our government used to invest a lot of money in family planning initiatives, but when census and demographic studies were done, we were shocked to realise that we have counties with land mass similar to countries like Israel and Rwanda but with less than 250,000 inhabitants,
At first we thought it was a good thing, so the government started building railway, roads, electricity in those areas and promoting towns into city status expecting mass migration from Nairobi and Mombasa to those places but instead no one was interested in moving to those places where you have to walk for kilometres to meet another person, in Kenya we have empty roads and railway stations that kids go to play in because no one is using them, we tried to attract investments to those regions but foreigners and local investors prefer big markets like Nairobi, majority of companies which usually move to Kenya like Volkswagen usually stay for a few years then go to South Africa because the Kenyan market is to small,
Nigeria's problem is lack of vision and political goodwill, you people complain that you are too many but in reality cities like Tokyo have 45 million inhabitants yet they think they are underpopulated, you people have a population big enough to attract investments like China and India but small economies like Rwanda, Ghana and Kenya are beating you,
Let me tell you a secret, the reason why we Kenyans want East Africa Federation to form is not because we love our neighbors, it's just because few people want to send investments to us so we want to use our neighbors population as a way to promote them as markets for investors in Kenya and in fact the rapid growth in middle class families in Kenya has reduced growth from 2.6 to 2.1%, so we are worried that we might end up like Germany and have our culture go extinct due to migration from our East African brothers replacing us,
@@mebsrea by the way Africa is six times bigger than Europe yet countries like China have a bigger population than the whole continent, Africa is the richest continent based on resources, if people were to remove Western colonial brainwash and exploit their resources for the benefit of the continent, maybe we would be talking on how we can get black Americans and Carribbeans to move to Africa because we are suffering from underpopulation crisis
im from kenya but been to rwanda several times...they are on another level for sure
Yo the best
And honest
As a Kenyan American I greatly admire President Paul Kagame. He is such a great leader and has done so much for his country.
As an African from Ghana, I literally cried watching this video. Everyone and every country that has been complicit in the suffering and poverty of the African people will pay dearly for it.
Does this include Africans harming other Africans?
African leadership has failed on a continental scale. The last few decades of democracy there has revealed just how tainted human nature can be from the top... Feels bad man. Rhetoric like this only shows the disillusionment and hopelessness of things ever getting better
They are already paying through mass illegal migration and refugees taking over the cities in Europe lol
I'm sorry, what would you like the rest of the world to do? Colonise Africa again but develop it this time? We all know that won't work, not least because Africans won't accept that. Suffering and Poverty is the natural state of agricultural civilisations, including the ones in Europe and Asia, and this is pretty self-evident if you look at the lives of people living in them. Throwing money at Africa also won't help, unless they have visionary, benevolent, smart, and non-corrupt leaders, who will invest wisely in their countries. Building successful nations is hard, there's a reason it took the west all of history to get where they are today, and there was plenty of violence and suffering inflicted on their own people (before mentioning other) that was necessary to become as rich as they are. But there will definitely be African countries that become successful nations, and imo Ghana is probably one of them.
@@roiduc9985 probably yes
What's interesting is that it seems like most successful civilization need a traumatic event to get its act together. Otherwise they tend to durdle around and do nothing.
This seems to be the upshot of WWII in Europe and Japan, and the Civil War in the US.
As a Nigerian currently living in the UK, I have always been impressed the strides Rwanda has achieved so far. I only hope my home country emulates same.
My guy if obi don’t win don’t bother hoping.
Unfortunately corruption let's Nigeria and other African countries down
Please come back home , Africa need you !!! Afcfta
he Belgian are africa enemy number one !! They divided Africa in 1884 and and caused tribal indifferences and UK and France and company caused the middle east Israel and Palestine division by tribe as well , This notion of division by tribe seemed to be used regularly all over the country even in USA and Europe is doing the same . Africa must be aware of such toxic system now they enforcing LBTQL toxic to Africa now ....
Congratulations to Rwandans, it’s been a long journey of perseverance & commitment.
If Rwanda can do it any country can do it but it require a certain degree of discipline and determination and Rwanda has what it takes.
I hv been in RWANDA , Peoples are so good. well secured country. I tasted "FAIZY Biryani" from INDIAN community in RAWANDA. BEST OF LUCK RWANDANS.
As a Chinese, I’m so glad that things going well in Rwandan. Best wishes,I’m planning a trip there in the near future
Plz do. You won't regret it i promise
We had two Chinese guests, a father and son for a few months, great people! If you ever come to Rwanda let me know, I'll take you out for a drink.
The fact there are people in the comments from Rwanda who are rich enough to afford any kind of touchscreen phone is enough to explain just how incredible this is
Hahh, around 20% of all Rwandan population own smartphones. 5 People you saw was a drop in the ocean
I hope they can continue to progress, but it is a bit scary the government is still holding on extremely tight.
True, but I don't think it would've worked any other way in this case.
American democracy wouldn't have progressed the country as qiuck , people don't get this.
@@danielxbox28 agreed, I might be a scandinavian but even we had absolute monarchy before we invented social democracy, but social democracy requires a lot of things to work, the US system is far far worse and frankly not one to be copied considering the partisan nature of its relatively badly educated native population, sure the greatest minds go there to work but they are almost never born in the US..
Edit; Also they are extremely sensitive, really, look at those kneejerk responses, keep in mind these highly emotional creatures have more firearms than people!
What would you prefer? Emulating us Nordics, or the "American Dream"?
@@Elenrai Almost never? Are you serious? The US certainly benefits from skilled immigration, but no country counts as many Nobel laureates or patent holders among its native-born population.
@@mebsrea I grew up in Singapore and now live in SF. When I come the changes I have seen in Singapore and SF is quite amazing. While the city state has become very wealthy and generally speaking benefits most of the citizens, SF is a mess. The infrastructure is aging and not upgraded, lots of homeless, drug users and crimes. And apparently other US cities are very bad too.
Say what you want about him, but Paul Kagame is a genius
His name is Paul he can’t possibly be a genius
The story of Rwanda is indeed incredible. We in kenya truly love and admire this great people who have shown africa that with good and dependable governance all things are possible. We laud you our neighbours and friends
Kenyans contributed a lot to this success by sharing skills and migrating here.
My co worker/ senior engineer is from rwanda. Dude is nuts with his knowledge in software. Like the video suggests, tech scene is booming in Rwanda.
Also fun thing he explained to me. He says many rwandans dont drink coffee. Very rare. He says the reason is because milk is just seen as like the peak of good quality of life. "If you have milk why are you drinking anything but milk?" Kind of attitude.
He drinks coffee...
If milk is seen as the peak of good life in Rwanda then Rwanda is probably the country I should move to.
Alot or africans dont drink coffee at all. If anything with caffeine it’s probably tea.

I'm proud of our brother in Rwanda love from Ethiopia
Rwanda is in the general area on the African map where mythical Wakanda would be. It would be interesting if real world Rwanda could become wildly prosperous.
No it’s not… wakanda is in the e border between Ethiopia Kenya and Uganda (closer to Ethiopia though)
Even though Wakanda is in the general area of where Rwanda lies, it's culture and tribes are depicted off the South African tribes. Even the Black Panther movie has the majority of its cinematography taken in SA.
@@dietermeyer3531 and SA already houses the largest African migrants to almost size of Rwanda, we can go by feelings or claims or we can go by what we see already, people will always vote with their feet. My logic is this, a nation that all kind of Africans are found in large numbers on the continent is indeed wakanda or close to, a nation that gives Africans all kind of opportunities to start afresh is worth of praises because few countries can make such sacrifices.
are you 12 years old
Best wishes to Rwanda and the whole Africa Continent to forget the dark period of Colonialism and build a bright future. Love from INDIA🇮🇳
"Because apparently, only africa was colonized"
@@AnimatedStoriesWorldwide did he say that or are you illiterate?
But they were one of the most exploited, to this day. That and the corruption leads to the vicious loop of self destruction you see in most corrupt african countries. Rwanda is the perfect example where if the corruption is somewhat fixed, then this would lead to less exploitation by foreign companies (modern day colonialism), leading to a healthy and thriving nation who takes advantage of these foreign companies for more fair deals.
India has a lot of potential
@@shay3697 But 90% of all that potential will wither away with corruption and awful politics dividing the country. It says a lot when a country post genocide has a healthier government than the largest democracy on earth.
Makes me happy to think that african countries make so much progress. It might sound a bit weird but as a german i kinda identify with rwanda because of the dark moments of history. I hope they take a similiar way of education like we germans did.
Besides, im really excited to see our government building closer ties to Namibia! They are currently negotiating energy deals which would be a HUGE boost for Namibias economy. And a huge boost for germanys science to face our climate pollution problem. Would love to see a video about it aswell.
Sorry to say this forgive me, but seeing a white European guy not being racist in the comments about developing African countries is literally a breath of fresh air😅I guess it's really hard to not be racist when your part of the world does the best all the time buy thanks for pushing through the supremacist views brother bless you🍃🙏
Rwanda is a former German colony, and we remember Germany fondly. We fought and lost with you during WW1, after the genocide we copied your denazification policy, and to this day Germany is a top5 ally of Rwanda. We still have German words in our language, eg: Ishuli which means school.
@@madoxxxx06oh stop the ooogling over former colonial masters-have you no dignity?
@@jawvees2585 Europe was only good for the past 200 or so years. Before that they were still behind quite a few places on earth
CORRECTION: Pre-colonial Rwanda was a tribe with 3 economical classifications based on one's major economic activity between farming, cattlehelding and clay crafting.
That changed when Belgians took over Rwanda they changed what were economical classification into tribes in both Rwanda and Burundi as well as DRC , it doesn't make sense how two countries can have exactly same tribes but not same language, and the said tribes have everything in common including one language, race, not specific land for one tribe among these fake tribes, same culture, same leadership before, during and after colonization.
You should correct that part because it is a Belgian fake theory that was used to divide and rule.
Rwanda and Burundi were two tribes alongside others like Buganda, Part of Uganda today, all these tribes had dozens of clans which were the ones used as racial identity, in fact in both Rwanda and Burundi there is no word specific for "tribe" in their languages.
What Rwanda had before the colonial period were actually clans such abasinga, abanyiginya, and so on. Those clans were 10+.
Thanks man
I doubt that they don't have a word for tribe. They might be using "kabila" which many languages borrow from Swahili.
Nope genetics proves a large difference between tutsis and hutus
@@andrewkavanaugh6951 lol what genetics? Post your sources, it's merely nutrition, how would they be different tribes, while having the same culture and language, plus i doubt you know anything about precolonial Rwanda
What an inspiring story. I must visit Rwanda soon. Love from your brother in Singapore.
Hi Keff
All thanks to our great President and the utmost love He has for his nation and the whole of Africa. Plz visit Rwanda sometime. It's far better than they say in the video with an incredible security level and no.1 place to visit and do business from. Plus, it's super clean everywhere. You won't regret it when you visit. I promise. By the way, Tutsi People never migrated from anywhere. They are Rwandans since the beginning of time 😉
God bless Rwanda, and the entire continent. It isn’t over until the creator say it is.
Great comeback for a war-torn country !
Paul Kagame is an excellent leader !! 💓
I think it should be noted that the bigger issue for the Huti/Tutsi conflict is that after a certain point *they weren't really two distinct people*. It kind of became shorthand for a kind of class that people could move into and out of. Belgium made it so that they became artificially distinct permanent hierarchy.
That's a lie made by politicians for their own benefit,a tribe never becomes a class cus blood doesn't change.the fact that the killers would tell who is Tutsi just by looking at them says the truth itself.yes they are different as there is no country in the world with just one tribe,so being different is not a problem hence no need to lie.the truth is Tutsi protected the country and had refused to work for colonizers'profits and were kicking colonizers out of Rwanda hince why belgians&french conspired with hutus to exterminate Tutsi by promising hutu to be in power since they realized their weakness and found them to be useful for their profits.
Divid et impera
@@iwillnoteatzebugs exactly
The Belgians were the worst European colonizer.
Of all the European empires they were consistently the cruelest and most exploitative. They left nothing but a legacy of pain and suffering despite their empire being relatively small.
I thought it was Hutu,
10:55 For a chilling account of the UN failure to stop the genocide, read "Shake Hands With The Devil" by Lt-General Romeo Dallaire, the Canadian soldier in charge of the operation
The UN is useless at best, and at worst helps the bad guys
Thankfully the Tutsi had an army of their own with which to fight back and kick out the Hutu power government
@boy Afrika The genocide perpetrators
Thanks for sharing. I learned a great deal from this video.
On a serious note it's really not surprising to see that Rwanda and Botswana are doing so well. The answer to their success is really obvious when you think about it and it's because they speak one language, they have one very similar culture and they are one country before their tribe.
As a businessman, I recognize that if my team is pulling in different directions there is no way we're going to be profitable. We need to speak the same and we need to have the same agenda. It's great to have people from different backgrounds bring a New perspective, but at the end of the day we all need to agree on where we're heading.
A lot of the neightborimg countries are similar ethnically.
@@WildsDreams45 Rwanda shares the same ethnic division as Burundi.
@@Condor2481 It's probably going to blow up in their face. Old wounds like that have a hard time healing up.
Can we say that there are tribes in Rwanda? Everyone speaks the same language, follows the same religions and has the same culture. They constitute a single ethnic group Rwandese.
@@listenup2882 that's literally propaganda of the Burundian dictatorship of 1970
« Rwanda, lacking any substantial resources… »
« There is speculation that Rwanda has been illegally plundering resources from The Congo…»
Go to 4:28 to understand why/how Rwanda sponsors conflict in Congo and becomes the largest exporter of coltan while Congo has the most coltan reserves… the West benefits with iPhones, Macs and e-cars
It’s all in plain sight…
Literally dude just ignore the obvious. Rwanda is wealthier cause they are sponsoring terrorists in the Congo who give then cheap resources in return. The west of course is the real puppet master though. They want a weak Congo just like Rwanda so they protect them, open their markers for them ie Arsenal sponsored, and they give them modern arms. This is why the Congo can't defeat the rebels they are out gunned by the West.
This is a very fair report on Rwanda. The author really understands the situation on the ground.
Best of luck, Rwanda. We're rooting for you 💪
Love Rwanda 🇷🇼 from Canada 🇨🇦
Rwanda is that skinny guy after his girlfriend dumped him(1994), One year later: 💪👀
well researched and not forgetting key historic aspects. cool
Grow Rwanda!! ❤️ from India 🇮🇳
I appreciate the many insights given in this video, but I would suggest researching further into the pre-colonial history of Rwanda, as there are many discrepancies in the video.
The biggest one being the timeframe of arrival of Tutsi to Rwanda, and the nature of distinction between Hutu and Tutsi, which was based largely on socio-economic status, rather than ethnicity. This can be clearly seen in the act of "kwihutura" (which literally translates to un-hutuing oneself) in which a man who accumulated wealth (mainly in the form of cattle) would rise to the status of Tutsi and vice versa if a Tutsi were to lose his wealth.
Its wonderful to see what is possible and can be replicated in other places. Perhaps Haiti next.
hope the same for this country.
The country has to get the right leader.
Haiti problems was created and continued by the West. The West wants Haiti to have discord. The West is reinforcing division among Haitians and between their spanish
the US is launching some fake humanitarian operation in Haiti.
True but America and Canada would have to stop meddling first
P.S. Very well researched and nicely presented video. Looking forward to more!
Glad you liked it :)
Very Enlightening
The Rwandan Genocide easily goes down as one of human history's most tragic happenings.
It happened in the context of USA unipolar rule. There is even the suspicion, it is linked to an event in Mogadishu on October 3 1993 European calendar.
Super interesting video! So interesting to learn about the building stones for a successful society. It seems that the main driver behind any countries' success is corruptness. Paul Kugame is clearly an authoritarian leader but is not too corrupt. As long as value can flow freely in a country without abuses of power it will grow by itself. Therefore a system of centralised control can work, but only if the centralised controlling party doesn't abuse its power (too much). It seems like history is just an endless repetition of natural growth followed by corruptness and greediness, human kind constantly needs to fight its own greed in order to get ahead which is just constantly happening in cycles. Cycle of greed and misery followed by cycle of growth and prosperity. Rwanda is an amazing example of that.
What a great an informative video!
Excellent introduction to Rwanda. Thank you. Very interesting.
Very interesting, happy to see your growth 👍🏻
Thank you so much :)
