Today, Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame is to be inaugurated for another term in office after winning the 4 August elections with 99% of the vote. He has been in power since 1994. Following constitutional amendments made in 2015, Kagame could remain president until 2034.

  • Rwanda’s election outcome is already decided
  • Friends forever, again? Rwanda and Tanzania mend bridges

In our Photo of the Week, we showcase one of the boldest and most beautiful images, old or new, that we’ve come across that week. If you’d like to submit a photograph to be featured, please email [email protected]
