President Kagame was elected for the third term in a landslide vote in the presidential election held two weeks back. He has led Rwanda since 1994.

Ethiopia which opened its embassy in that country in April this year, had deployed a contingent of peacekeeping force in 1994 in lieu of restoring peace in the country following the genocide which led to the death of 500,000-1,000,000 Rwandans within 100 days.
