Description
Paul Kagame grew up as a wretched refugee. He and a group of comrades, determined to force their way back home after a generation of exile, designed one of the most audacious covert operations in the history of clandestine war. Then, after taking power, they amazed the world by stabilizing and reviving their devastated country. Now, as President Kagame, he's obsessed with a single outlandish dream: to make Rwanda the first middle-income country in Africa, and to do it in the space of a show more single generation.A Thousand Hills tells Kagame's tumultuous life story, including his early fascination with Che Guevara and James Bond, his years as an intelligence agent, his training in Cuba and the United States, the dazzlingly original way he built his secret rebel army, his bloody rebellion, and his outsized ambitions for Rwanda. It is the adventure-filled tale of a visionary who won a war, stopped a genocide, and then set out to turn his country into the star of Africa.

Moderated by CNBC Editor in Chief, Brownyn Nielsen and titled “Beyond the Headlines: Global Leaders Explore Africa’s Future,” the discussion included Scott Minerd, Chairman of Investments and Global Chief Investment Officer of Guggenheim Partners, Patrice Motsepe, founder and executive chairman of African Rainbow Minerals and Hon. Tony Blair.

“We are missing an opportunity in our own countries: intra-African trade and investment. If we increase intra-African trade it has the capacity of attracting more of the foreign direct investment we want.”
President Kagame added that Africa’s future should be centered on regional integration:
“Regional economic groups work better for economies and provide more coherent and ben When Rwandan-backed rebels recently took Goma, the biggest city in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Paul Kagame had every reason to think the world would give him a pass. That, after all, has been the pattern for years. Frequently lauded by people such as Bono, Tony Blair, and Pastor Rick, the Rwandan president enjoys some extraordinary backing in the West—support that is particularly remarkable given his alleged hand in ongoing regional conflicts believed to have killed more than 5 million people since the mid-'90s. On the aid and awards circuit, Kagame is known as the man who led Rwanda from the ashes of the 1994 genocide—one of the late 20th century's greatest atrocities—to hope and prosperity: a land of fast growth and rare good economic governance with enviable advances in health care, education, and women's rights. Bestowing his foundation's Global Citizen Award on Kagame three years ago, Bill Clinton said: "From crisis, President Kagame has forged a strong, unified, and growing nation with the potential to become a model for the
