Whichever way you look at him, President Paul Kagame of Rwanda is a man for all seasons, admired for his wit and deeds. The man has been president for 20 years and has tightened his grip on power.

He led his country into a powerful renaissance after the genocide of 1994. He is soft-spoken but has a knack for fiery creeds against Europe, the US and the international press, which he accuses of hypocrisy.
