{{President Paul Kagame has warned anyone intent on destabilising the country saying the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) that has been in control for the past twenty years, is stronger than ever before.}}<\/p>\n

“If anybody thinks they are going to come and play with our people\u2019s lives, they have no chance. For our lives, there is nobody who is going to come and play around here. Whether they are supported by outsiders, we will be so unkind to those who think they can play around with our lives. We have had enough of that,\u201d he said <\/p>\n

He noted, \u201cAs far as I know, the RPF is as strong and focused on what is good for this country and what is good for itself as it has ever been.\u201d <\/p>\n

Kagame told members of both local and international media at village Urugwiro that the liberation struggle has not been a simple and many sacrifices had to be made.<\/p>\n

He said; \u201cThe state of affairs in the RPF is that of dynamism. There are those you call cadres, there are those who join along the way. There are those who fall out for one reason or another, but we deal with realities in life, whether it is politics or other circumstances. I don\u2019t think there is one point at which the RPF has been found wanting in fulfilling its obligations, whether political, economic or social\u201d.<\/p>\n

Explaining the liberation journey, President Kagame said, \u201cAt least one thing we have to say: it\u2019s a huge price, the price of people being free, independent, being able to live a life where their rights are respected. <\/p>\n

However, that also means that those ideals are worth paying the price for. That is what struggles are all about,\u201d Kagame said as he reminisced the three-and-a-half year struggle. <\/p>\n

President Kagame told members of the media that RPFs just cause led to its success.
\n\u201dAll odds were against us; political, diplomatic\u2026 everybody was mobilised against RPF, but we were strengthened by the validity of our cause. Our cause was so just that we were convinced about it and ready to pay any price for it,\u201d He said. <\/p>\n

{{Cynical World}}<\/p>\n

The President expressed his dissatisfaction to the people that have been sanitising the FDLR militia currently in the DRCongo saying he was running out of patience with such people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese genocidal forces for the past twenty years have been roaming around the region and in foreign capitals in Europe, America. One thing we have seen people falling short of is to decisively deal with the issue,\u201d He said.<\/p>\n

He said that FDLR is not that of 20 years ago of the people who killed. The same people who speak of never again are allowing genocidaires to roam their capitals.<\/p>\n
