I really like his leadership. He has done really good for Rwanda and I think the project is great for skills transfer but he should tread carefully when it come to manufacturing.

Listen to this story about what happened when Argentina tried to manufacture cell phones:

I think Rwanda should start in other areas like maybe refining Coltan and other rare earth metals that come out of DRC. Even if they do not have the capacities to refine them completely they can do some value addition. If I was Kagame I would also talk clandestinely to that crook Kamlesh Pattni. Rwanda would be the perfect spot for being the world hub of what Goldenberg was trying to be, a processing hub for Gold and diamonds.

For the longest time the jewelry capital of the world was Antwerp Belgium. Gold and diamonds from all over the world was shipped to Antwerp to be cut and converted to jewelry. That was until the wahindis discovered the biashara. Now the worlds diamond capital is Surat in India:

This is an industry that Rwanda can nyemelea and slowly take over. They are much closer to the raw materials. With the right incentives they can attract investors in this area.

Very good observation sir Kusadikika.
Please whisper some words of advice to our Kenyan kagame also.
He should try to understand the 'global value chain' and curve out a niche for Kenya.

Some say that we can be the R&R superpower with the right dose of vision and investments, easily overtaking the deserts and the medieval cities with their monuments and stolen art.
We are also 1-2 airplanes away from anywhere in the world.
