New York — A new wave of reform is sweeping across Africa and the continent is keen to engage the rest of the world in doing business, President Paul Kagame, told the think-tank International Peace Institute (IPI), in New York on Monday.
With drums of war falling silent across the continent, Kagame told his audience of experts in different fields, that Africa is enjoying relative peace and stability - more pre-occupied with creating prosperity for its people.
"I am pleased to state that on matters of stability, peace and development, today's Africa is unrecognizable from that of yester-year," said Kagame.
"Like other parts of the world, present day pre-occupation in Africa revolves around creating prosperity."
To drive home the message of change in Africa, Kagame gave an example of the recent World Bank Doing Business report which cites post-conflict nations as making ground breaking reforms on the continent.
Referring to Rwanda, which emerged the world's top reformer, Kagame said the urge to reform was steadfast and cutting across the continent to countries like Liberia and Sierra Leone - all post-conflict countries.
While acknowledging that the continent still faces challenges, including a few conflict hotspots, the President emphasized that: "Africa is a different place today."
"Africa's sources of trade and investment, in the meantime, have been broadening beyond our traditional partners of North America and Western Europe - Asian countries especially China and India have become key actors."
"More importantly, Africa's own private sector has been gaining strength in most sectors, notably in the mobile telecommunications where several African companies have become highly profitable transnational operators."
Whereas, the continent was increasingly seeking its own solutions to its own problems, Kagame said partnerships with the rest the world have to be based on, "mutual respect, trust, and a collaborative outlook."
As a forward looking example on how Africa is fairing in using home-grown solutions to solve its problems, Kagame gave an example of the recent home-driven and peace-building initiatives between Rwanda and DR Congo.
He said, out of their own will, the two nations have achieved what he described as "a major breakthrough towards extending the boundaries of peace."
The President said that though problems between these two nations have been defined with distortions in the past, Kigali and Kinshasa were now looking ahead to peaceful co-existence and embarking on joint projects in the areas of trade and investment.
"On the political and diplomatic front, we have now exchanged ambassadors with the DRC - paving the way for further efforts in the more important realms of economic growth and development - including joint projects in energy, environment, trade and investment."
President Kagame will today join a select group of seven Heads of State to address a UN special session on climate change. He will be the only African leader to address the session, at which US President Barack Obama will give a keynote address.
Later in the day, the President is scheduled to join his colleagues from Sub-Saharan in a meeting with President Obama.

John 10:10
The thief (D-Evil) comes to steal,kill, and to destroy: I (Jesus Christ) have come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
[Daniel 11:14 ]] And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south(AMERICA / BABYLON ): ALSO the ROBBERS OF OUR PEOPLE shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; BUT THEY SHALL FALL !
INFERIORITY = UNEQUAL EXCHANGE ANY KIND OF EXCHANGE MUST BE AS EQUALS
Currency Exchange is designed to puff up certain peoples and nations over others. The numbers are constantly telling some that they are inferior to others. The problem intensifies when those being manipulated by this financial scam buy in to this wicked scheme.
Whats the solution to INFERIORITY CURRENCY EXCHANGE ? Stop giving away our souls one piece of money ( dollar , pound, franc, rand, deniro, rupal, euro, Chinese renminbi, rupee, Russian ruble,etc..) at-a-time .
Do research on what price your product gets in the so-called First World countries. And demand that price. This will not work unless people at the local areas do this together. Form Co-Ops and agree to charge the prices you deserve.
2) INFERIORITY = Pay by Time
There is another system used to oppress people that feeds the business owners with a lust for MORE profit. One year they may have profits of 50%, the next year they may have profits of 100%, the next year their profits may only be 75%. The system in the world will consider that going from 100% profits to 75% profits is bad for business.
How is that bad ? Profits are profits ! Many businesses have different levels of pay for the same workers.; levels such as :
a) Top Salaries Private and only known to each individual workers b) Medium Salaries Private c) Lower Salaries Private and only known to each individual workers d) High Hourly Wages e) Medium Hourly Wages f) Minimum Hourly Wages
I suggest that EVERY WORKER SHOULD BE PAID A LIVING WAGE. The Minimum Wage is like a financial ball and chain ; only giving those receiving it just enough to live to see the next day.
The Living Wage allows workers to live, invest, spend, save, and thrive. We can dream about having our own businesses , then wake up and attain our dreams. This is great for the businesses that pay Living Wages. For this creates new customers and new generations of customers.
As long as the system of Living Wages is in place, there will be a thriving economy and a blooming world full of optimistic activities. But it will only happen when business owners see the benefit of paying more pennies to make more dollars ! Which of you business owners will have the insight, recognition, roots, understanding, initiative, moxy, & compassion to make the step most are afraid to make.

THE TRUTH ABOUT DIAMONDS
Did You Know That The Robbers Have Warehouses Full Of 55 Gallon Drums Each Full Of Raw Uncut Diamonds ?
The Wicked Are Using The Same Schemes On Us. : 1) They Hoard Riches ; Controlling The Supply So Well Think The Supply Is Low 2) This Scheme Helps Them To Get A Higher Price & Deceives Most Of Us Into Believing That Things ( Such As Diamonds, Gold, Oil, Etc..) Are In Short Supply & Even Due To Run Out.
Diamonds Are In Abundance And Their Supply Is Being Controlled By Persons Under The Control Of Spiritual Wickedness In High Places (Ephesians 6:12) .
We Saints Serve An Infinite God, What He Placed Here On This Earth For His Children Is Also Infinite. When You See A Volcano Or Magma ; The Liquid Land Flowing Out Of Volcanos, Think Of Growth. The Earth Is Steady Growing.

* Hosea said we perish for two reasons. Most people only remember one reason why we perish.
- Hosea said MY PEOPLE PERISH FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
- AND because they REJECT KNOWLEDGE
- In other words, they DONT KNOW & THEY DONT WANT TO KNOW !!!!
