In the early days of the liberation struggle under the command of Paul Kagame, Gicumbi area hosted the first headquarters of RPF rebels in Rwanda. Since 1990 the RPF has enjoyed a special bond with residents of this district. Cyumba hill is a walk away from ‘Umurindi w’Intwari’ village hosting a bunker where Kagame planned and commanded the battle. With visible progress registered in Gicumbi, the campaign for votes in the area is just a walkover for candidate Kagame who enjoys a special bond with residents. We caught up with some supporters at Cyumba rally and this is how they described Paul Kagame.
