Answer 1

Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete was the President of Tanzania in 2011. He became the 4th President of Tanzania on 2005 December 21 and was re-elected in 2010. Before his presidency, he was the Minister of Foreign Affairs for 10 years.

Answer 2

Mwai Kibaki was the President of Kenya in 2012. He first took power on 2002 December 30, and reclaimed power in the disputed 2007 election.

Kibaki has made vast improvements to the economy after years of downturn, and also removed school fees on primary education. However, although he was initially elected on a platform of reform, he has not been able to reform government at a fast enough pace. The close results of the December 2007 election and the findings of voting result irregularities on all sides led to much public unrest and violence, which was ended only when the challenger Raila Odinga was made Prime Minister in a coalition government. Both the president and prime minister now share executive powers, and on 2010 August 4 a referendum took place which passed a new constitution for the country.

Answer 3

Paul Kagame was the President of Rwanda in 2012.

He became leader of the Rwandan Patriotic Front during the Rwandan genocide, and took power over the country on 1994 July 19. As he was a Tutsi, he was appointed as Vice-President of the country while Pasteur Bizimungu, a Hutu, was appointed as a figurehead president. After political differences arose, Bizimungu resigned and Kagame became the president on 2000 March 24.

Paul Kagame's presidency has been plagued by questions of whether or not he was involved in massacres during the Rwandan genocide. A French court concluded that he had orchestrated the shooting down of president Juvénal Habyarimana's plane, leading to the civil war, but the Rwandan government has dismissed these accusations as Propaganda by the French government, whom they claim to be responsible.

As leader of the nation, Kagame has made much progress in economically reforming the country, and making it more investment friendly to other nations. However, he has been criticized for disallowing political and media freedoms.
