Amid exciting fun-fare and about a dozen African Heads of State, President Paul Kagame took his Oath of Office, received the National Instruments and inspected the Parade – all of which part of an elaborate inaugural function, as he started his seven-year term.

Kigali: Et de deux. Pour le très célèbre pasteur américain Rick Warren ça devient une habitude de prier aux cérémonies des présidents qui prêtent serment. Il l’a fait en 2008 lorsque le président américain Barack Obama prêtait serment et il le refait aujourd’hui à Kigali. Cette fois ci c’est Paul Kagame, le président rwandais et fraichement réélu qui a eu droit au sermon du célèbre pasteur américain.

In a firry 27-minute speech which he delivered first in English, then summarized in Kinyarwanda, the President accused the foreign governments of supporting his vocal opponents whom he described as “adventurers”.
