African President of the Week: Rwandan President Paul Kagame
In coordination with the American Mastodon Publication (AMP) and the release of The African Census 2020-2021, the AMP publishes a weekly honorary award to African Presidents, who've transcended the tumultuous pressure to capitalize and Occidentalize their national realms in the face of modernization. These contemporary figures exemplify the courage, understanding, vigilance, and sophisticated posturement, in the face of true orchestrated violence, pressing foreign interests, and the gravity of the present needs of their citizens, and the people of Africa. The African Presidents of the Week, are our Beacons of Progress into the African 21st Century and beyond.
It is a given, the international climate among nations has seen a significant rise in divisions based on race, religion, class, and political agendas. However, specifically, the politics of hatred is a deadly game. No where are the consequences of such a game of tribalism more evident than the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, where over 800,000 people were butchered and killed within 100 days. The experience would spark the Great African War (1994-2003) and destabilize the entire region. This is why President Paul Kagame is The American Mastodon Publication President of the Week. Out of the ashes of the horrific, the nation of Rwanda has managed to bring itself from genocide to model state. And this is no small feat, as the legacy of genocide lingers, the tears bring conversation. The healing and restoration of Rwanda is a symbol of perseverance, long suffering, and a recommitment to building humanity. We celebrate President Kagame and Rwanda for their testimony to Africans & the world!
