🚨🇷🇼EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: PRESIDENT KAGAME — WHO REALLY CONTROLS CONGO’S BILLIONS? You keep seeing the news about massacres and rape, as well as alleged genocides and even cannibalism in Congo. But did you know Africa’s second biggest country is also the richest in mineral reserves? The Democratic Republic of the Congo sits on trillions in copper, cobalt, gold and diamonds, yet remains one of the poorest nations on Earth. Why? President Kagame breaks his silence on the power struggles keeping Congo in chaos, the Western-backed warlords looting its wealth, and why Rwanda is blamed—despite ranking "100th" in Congo’s resource grab. From genocide, foreign interference, and corruption to @PaulKagame’s brutal take on President Felix ("I wish he wasn't president of that good country"), this no-holds-barred interview offers an interesting perspective into the real players behind Africa’s deadliest and most complex war. Next week we will publish the second part of our interview where the President discusses the Rwandan genocide, with over a million deaths in 100 days, how he ended it, eventually becoming President. 02:41 – Kagame on rebuilding Rwanda from total devastation: "This was almost an impossible task." 05:45 – Refugees or prisoners? How genocidal forces fled with their captives. 08:55 – "Foreign aid is a trap." Kagame on how "help" keeps Africa permanently weak. 11:19 – "Aid is politically weaponized." It’s never just generosity—it’s control. 12:49 – How Rwanda went from 90% aid-dependent to self-sufficient. 13:50 – "Whoever gives you aid controls your life." The truth about Africa’s dependency crisis. 18:59 – Rwanda’s demand: "Audit us to ensure the aid wasn't stolen." 21:07 – Kagame on USAID’s failure: "They fed us instead of freeing us." Could @elonmusk’s DOGE step in? 24:26 – The Textile War: How the US forced African nations to abandon their industries. 29:06 – Rwanda was kicked out of the African Growth Opportunity Act—for refusing to submit. 30:06 – "We don't want to be dependent forever." Kagame’s definition of true dignity. 31:36 – How Rwanda banned begging and built 70% employment through education. 34:33 – Why is Africa’s ‘tomorrow’ always coming but never here? Kagame blames bad leadership, not bad people. 35:23 – "Congo should never have to beg." With some of the world’s richest mineral deposits, why is DRC still poor? 37:32 – M23 rebellion: Kagame says Congo is expelling its own citizens. 44:33 – Who really profits from Congo’s chaos? "Rwanda takes all the blame, but the real players are hidden." 46:32 – "We still have genocidal forces on our border." Why Rwanda will never trust Congo’s leadership. 48:32 – Kagame on President Felix: "He has a genocidal ideology." 49:21 – $40 billion wasted. Why has the UN ‘peacekeeping’ mission failed for 24 years? 55:02 – Kagame on Rwanda’s role in Congo: "They want a soundbite, not the truth." 57:43 – Can Congo’s war actually be solved? Kagame lays out the 3-step path to peace. 1:00:45 – A Trump-style deal for Africa? "Peace in exchange for mining rights." Would Kagame support it?
🚨🇧🇾EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: PUTIN’S #1 ALLY REVEALS ALL! In a world first, Belarus’ President Lukashenko talks about what REALLY led to the war, his private discussions with Putin, how close we got to a nuclear war, and major new revelations on how he stopped a Russian coup! This interview breaks all the rules, and Europe’s longest-serving ruler speaks out. This video has an English voice-over, and below it in a comment is the original video with subtitles. Enjoy this unfiltered, unedited, no-holds-barred discussion. 03:24 – No Turning Back: “You don’t need to come back, you need to move forward.” 06:25 – Can Trump Stop the War? Lukashenko says Trump is the only leader pushing for peace. 08:55 – The Secret Calls Before the Invasion: What Putin and Zelensky told him before war broke out. 11:00 – The Peace Deal That Could Have Ended It: “The West pushed Ukraine to fight.” 21:30 – Boris Johnson BLOCKED Ukraine Peace Talks: “Johnson banned Zelensky from making peace.” 39:20 – How the US Pushed Russia & China Together: Sanctions backfired, forcing Russia closer to Beijing. 54:00 – The mineral deal between the U.S. and Ukraine—what does Putin think of it? 58:00 – EU’s aggressive stance in peace discussions and the U.S. involvement in Ukraine 01:01:00 – Wagner Mutiny: How Lukashenko Stopped a Coup 01:06:50 – How Close Were We to Nuclear War? “Putin never wanted it. The West did.” 01:10:30 – China’s Endgame: Xi Jinping’s quiet strategy and why China avoids escalation. 01:14:15 – NATO’s Future: Lukashenko on why the US-EU alliance is fracturing. 01:17:51 – What If Biden Was Still President? “The war would have continued endlessly.” 01:20:29 – Lukashenko’s Message to Americans and Europeans I want to give a special thanks to @BelarusMFA for coordinating this interview.
