Paul Kagame
As a rebel commander he helped end the 1994 genocide. His government has driven rapid development but is accused of repressing opponents and the press.
Paul Kagame sits in the left-authoritarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: slightly state-led and strongly authoritarian. The clearest positions are strongly authoritarian on liberty and authority, strongly interventionist on interventionism and strongly tech-optimist on technology. The profile is close to the middle on culture.
