He is the last born in the family of six children born to Deogratias Rutagambwa and Asteria Rutagambwa. <\/p>\n

As Kagame turned two in 1959, his family fled to the north-east part of Rwanda where they spent two years before moving to Uganda. <\/p>\n

Like many other Rwandans, Kagame spent his childhood in refuge in Uganda where he studied primary and secondary school. <\/p>\n

Kagame led the Liberation Struggle and triumphed after stopping the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. <\/p>\n
