Rwanda’s Paul Kagame studied at Uganda’s Makerere University, according to Britannica. Did he?

  • In a speech that Mr Kagame delivered at Ethiopia’s Bahir Dar University in July 2016, when the university awarded him an honorary degree, he said: “Complicated circumstances, injustice and bad politics prevented many of us from attending university, regardless of merit.” If Mr Kagame had studied at Makerere University and at the Open University, he would not have said what he said.
  • We reviewed Mr Kagame’s online biography and did not find anything to do with his education at Makerere University and the Open University—or any other university for that matter.
