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.
