The dictator who fooled us
Paul Rusesabagina was a humble hotel manager when he became a hero amid the horrors of genocide, saving 1,268 people from machete-wielding mobs. His story, immortalised in Hotel Rwanda, was remarkable: fearful days spent pleading with gangs of killers, fraught nights spent firing off faxes begging for help to stop the hideous butchery taking place outside his gates.
His actions brought fame and a United States presidential medal of freedom. But he was dismayed to see his nation become snared in fresh horrors under the one-time rebel turned president Paul Kagame; there was the invasion and looting of next-door Democratic Republic of Congo that left millions dead, as well as the routine killings, detentions and disappearances of Rwandans who questioned their leader's rule.

Westminster may have shunned Putin, but its continued support of autocratic leaders stinks of hypocrisy
Among other despots the government courts, Rwanda's President Paul Kagame can match Russia's for cold-hearted ruthlessness. So much for resistance in defence of democracy
