Media advisor to Paul Kagame defends Rwanda's image

Events in Rwanda preceding the August election have left a dark shadow over the campaigns.

There was the bungled attack in June against an exiled senior military officer in South Africa.

Then less than a week later, in Kigali, two unidentified men shot dead the assistant editor of a banned newspaper.

Then at the start of this month, a senior opposition leader was found dead in the second largest city, Butare.

Some opposition politicians have been arrested, sometimes on more than one occasion.

Now an international media rights group is calling for the European Union aid to Rwanda to be suspended.

BBC Focus on Africa's Hassan Arouni asked President Kagame's media adviser, Dr Alfred Ndahiro if he was happy with the country's image at the moment.
