How Formula 1 is driving itself into the arms of a dictator in Rwanda

One compliment after another was uttered. FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, FOM CEO Stefano Domenicali and racing legend Jacky Ickx; all praised President Paul Kagame for organising the event at the FIA Gala in Rwanda. Kagame himself announced a bid to hold a Grand Prix, to the delight of Ben Sulayem. Apparently, it is irrelevant that Paul Kagame is a dictator, who has political opponents imprisoned, in a country where press freedom does not exist and human rights violations are widespread.
