Why Does One Of The World's Poorest Countries Sponsor Arsenal?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Rwanda, whilst having one of the fastest growing economies in the world, remains a widely impoverished nation in which 39% of citizens live below the poverty line, as the country looks to rebuild under the controversial leadership of President Paul Kagame.
There is outrage then, in some quarters, at the Rwandan government for paying £70 million to sponsor Arsenal for seven seasons, who Kagame's supports, and a further £7.25 million a season to sponsor Paris Saint-Germaine (PSG).
In this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at this controversial move, the reasons behind it, and the situation in Rwanda more broadly.
In fairness Everton used to have a sleeve sponsor of Angry Birds!
*Flashback to an red bird being the Everton mascot*
Everton's Angry Bird was the sleve sponsor I noticed. I think it's hilarious.
First thing I think of when arm sponsors came up was Everton lol
@@rhoddryice5412 totally agree. as funny as when Pompey was sponsored by Beanie babies.
Wasn't that the first sleeve sponsor in the premiership? It's certainly the one that stood out the most.
For what it's worth, I flew from Australia to Rwanda, in part due to this. Beautiful country by the way, the nicest people you'll ever meet. ❤

I was lucky enough to visit Rwanda a few years ago. It’s an absolutely spectacular country.
Visiting the Genocide Museum was one of the most emotional and thought provoking things I’ve ever done.
It’s clear when you are in the country how essential tourism is to the economy and you can see first hand the benefits to the population from the tourism. Around Volcanoes National Park there are numerous schools and other infrastructure projects that are almost entirely funded by tourism.
I’m not saying that the sleeve sponsorship is a good or bad thing and I’m certainly not supporting the governments decisions but I haven’t been anywhere else where the benefit of tourism was so obvious to the local people.
The Maldives is the most obvious example of tourism benefiting people. I went and stayed in the capital rather than on one of the tiny expensive islands. Deliberately to see how it benefits the people. Given it is literally the only way to earn foreign currency for the nation. Gambia is similar, but at least has wildlife and mangrove swamps. Rwanda just hasn't got the wildlife, otherwise it would have the tourists of Botswana, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.
@@nicholasmackenzie-rowe68 it’s one of only 3 countries in the world where you can see Mountain Gorilla in the wild, you can accuse Rwanda of lacking a lot of things but wildlife is not one of them!
The gorillas are actually key to their tourism industry and a significant amount of the very large amount of money you pay (£750 when I went in 2014, more than £2000 per person now) to go on a gorilla trek goes straight to local infrastructure.
@@nicholasmackenzie-rowe68 that's such an uninformed comment, along with being one of 3 places in the world you can find wild mountain gorillas, there are also rhino santurarys, hippos and much more wildlife that is at the core of their tourism. They also have one of the most amazing wildlife protection services in the world with 24/7 gaurds roaming to kill any poachers that might want to harm the wildlife, and banning all forms of plastic carrier bags nationwide. Do some research before you spout shit.
Your first tourist recommendation for Rwanda is the genocide museum...sounds like a great getaway for precious holiday days considering ...not my kind of "holiday"...
@@txg399 the surprisingly high cost of your tourist adventures will see a tourism only catered to elites and a very hard ceiling on how much revenue tourism can create for the Rwandan elites that run it ostensibly...
Well Rwanda isn’t one of the poorest countries, it’s the cleanest country in Africa and one of the worlds best growing economies
My sentiments exactly
Rwanda is in the top 25 poorest countries in the world, so yes, it is.
@@Morto1899 Exactly. Fast growing economy doesn't mean wealthy country. China has had one of the fastest growing economies for nearly 40 years. It was poor until very recently, and is still considered a developing country. The only reason for the size of the economy is the sheer amount of people. In 20 years time when the one child policy comes home to roost, it is game over. Rwanda will be poor still for decades. But it is on the right path economically. I'll reserve judgement on the politics, as it could be a lot worse, as recent history shows.
Just take East Africa Rwanda has the 2nd lowest GDP Per Capita just above Burundi, Even South Sudan is above Rwanda, its a low income economy ranked as Low Human Development by HDI
@@nicholasmackenzie-rowe68 Very good explanation.
Alfie asks if is ethical for Arsenal have Rwanda sponsoring the sleeves.
Wait until he finds out about the owners of Emirates airlines
yeah, its fine for emirati slavers to be prominently shown on football shirts but not for a somewhat dodgy company whos miraculously recovered from a genocide less than 30 years ago?? strange video from HITC today
country* instead of company
@@keeemon4451 I agree what is his point maybe just another arsenal hater if he is questioning ethics there are much stronger examples out there.
elite comment
Never really thought about this but kinda crazy now you’ve mentioned it
sums up most of alfie's videos really
He is just a paid influenced at this point.
This video is myopic and ill-informed, Rwanda is the best country in Africa and only comparable to Singapore, Rwanda is richer and better than France who would be poorer than Botswana without the stolen wealth from Africa, 60 percent of Europeans cannot live in a country like south Africa because they would simply not be able to afford the lifestyle without the artificial safety of welfare , get your facts right

@Oke Ihenacho How is that blood money???
Honestly, compared to where Rwanda was in the mid 90's to now I think Kagame has done better than most leaders. Not to mention Rwanda is one of the cleanest and friendliest countries in Africa if not the world.
White man living in the UK should stoping lecturing African people how they should govern their countries.
@@dt8101 It is called freedom of speech. Something that does not exist in Rwanda
@@archstanton6102 Yes it does.
@@mitchmazamez1989 That is not true. You should read the Human Rights Watch report on the press in Rwanda from May this year.
I tried to post the link but UA-cam keep deleting links to subjects they don't understand.
Do you have any fact checked evidence to support your claim?
@@archstanton6102 Yes I do. The analysis below shows that organizations such as HRW are not credible in their denigration of Rwanda. “What Human Rights Watch (HRW) does on Rwanda is NOT human rights advocacy. It is political advocacy which has become profoundly unscrupulous in both its means and its ends. […] HRW’s discourse on Rwanda over the past twenty years has been VISCERALLY hostile to the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) which defeated the genocidal Hutu Power regime in 1994, and systematically biased in favor of letting unrepentant Hutu Power political forces back into Rwandan political life.” This is more fully explained in “The Travesty of Human Rights Watch on Rwanda”.
Clearly those activists have a very UGLY agenda and will not hesitate to fabricate, lie or deceive in the service of that agenda. They will declare living people “dead”, they will bribe “witnesses”, they will omit vital facts, they will engage in underhanded manoeuvers with major media outlets, they will leverage their enormous funds to prevent or frustrate judicial process. Murderous militiamen have been found with instructions to call HRW if they get caught, so that it will declare them “political” prisoners and spring them out or use them as cudgels against the country, etc. Every trick in the book and even off the books, you name it. They will stop at nothing. They are beneath non-credible. They are despicable.
Rwanda are investing in sport, they've just been announced as the host of the 2025 cycling world championship.
They also have a state of the art indoor basketball arena
That’s a great step forward

rwanda is actually doing pretty good as a country considering the genocide
Democratic or not, Paul Kagame is an inspirational figure. Not sure how someone can look at what Rwanda was 30 years ago and what it is now and have anything bad to say about it.
Exactly. He may not be the most democratic leader in the world, but honestly it shouldn’t matter that much given what he has done for that country… The good far outweighs the bad many times over.
@@coyotelong4349 Try telling that to all the experts here with their western elitist mindsets all experts on African culture and politics after reading a few articles.
@@originalherbalist
In the vast majority of situations, authoritarianism is bad. And there will come a day, likely soon, when Kagame will need to step aside.
But in a situation like Rwanda was in following the Civil War/Genocide, etc, and given what his leadership was able to accomplish for the country from that point forward, an authoritarian streak can and probably should be overlooked.
And some countries and peoples do need a strong men or else a number of weak men come out and cause mayhem, death and destruction.
I don't know how I can watch this for 25 minutes but I'm still actually really enjoying it. you're the only youtuber who can do that for me

Paul Kagame worst crime in his political career is supporting Arsenal
And killing millions of Congolese people to please his masters
@@sosawazaya3182 (1 of 8) [It’s not Rwanda’s responsibility to take care of the Congo.]
More than 23,000 people have been displaced since May 2021 in northern Tanganyika’s Kongolo Territory alone, according to local authorities. Most have fled insecurity multiple times in the past three months.
(2 of 8) In just the past two weeks, humanitarian partners in the Kongolo and Mbulula health zones, have recorded 243 incidents of rape, 48 of which involved minors, in 12 different villages. This is an average of 17 reported attacks each day.
(3 of 8) The attacks are reportedly being carried out by rival armed groups competing to maintain control over mining areas - especially gold mines - and as retaliation against government-led military operations. Civilians find themselves trapped in the middle of intense confrontations between different groups.
(4 of 8) Some women and girls have been abducted and used as sex slaves by armed group members. Ransoms have been demanded from families in exchange for their freedom.
While you're looking at that to attract English tourists, know that Arsenal FC is also supported and watched by people beyond the UK and any of those could be tourists
Fantastic video, with a balanced, neutral perspective on such an interesting topic related to football.
It was exactly for this kind of content that I subscribed to this channel.
Keep up!
You seem to be an expert on Rwanda,did you live there at any time?
Yo! Rwanda isn't one of the poorest african countries. It actually has one of the fastest developing economies.
But its still in the top 25 poorest countrys
No offense though
It's both I think, one of the poorest, but having the biggest growth rate, so it will change in the future
Rwandans are running from their own country and crossing to Ug and Tz bro...
Reason?
Imagine being a child or a member of a family where if the father or the head says a word.....no one objects even when they are obviously being oppressed...
A home where if anyone tries to object is either jailed and charged with terrorism or mysteriously dies by assassination..
A home where by you can only exist if you are 100% in support of everything done by the head..
A home where those that object to the ways of the head and decide to run away for fear of their lives are hunted down and shot or strangled..
A home where the head brags publicly for killing those opposing him.
This home has nice flowers, well paved walkways and a good looking house that makes outsiders admire and praise the head..
The family members live in fear and anxiety..
The news from this family are well doctored and only the head’s chosen media is allowed to report about any events occurring and the private media companies are controlled with a whip to continuously paint only the positive picture for the outsiders...
The family members understand that the keys to survival are;
1. Don’t ever say anything negative about anything or the ways of the head whatsoever.
2. Don’t even think about objecting to the ways of the head unless you want a ticket to your grave
3. If you decide to do the contrary, run to your neighbor and live a highly sophisticated lifestyle so that you confuse and make it hard for your hunters since they are obviously tracking you.
3. Don’t ever open your mouth to say anything negative about the head’s ways on social media or to a journalist..
Have you ever heard of a story of a girl born in a royal family, the father or mother stage manage a relationship with a boy born from an equally rich or royal family..
The two meet and Mary only to find out that the girl isn’t happy but tries to hang on because she doesn’t want to disappoint the parents, she’s living a lonely and miserable life inside a mansion..
She tries and tries to carry on until she can’t carry it anymore and finally she escapes from the home...
Falls in love with another guy with a total opposite social status but takes care of her, gives her respect, freedom and showers her with jaw dropping moments that make her feel like she’s in paradise.....
They are crossing to Ug and Tz because they know that staying in Rwanda is too risky for them....
Two years ago the head devoted to lock the gates so that he can try and out to an end the unending silent immigration of members seeking freedom since they diner have a platform to raise their voices without being clinically eliminated by the head.
That’s exactly what’s happening to the majority people of this country...forget about what you see in the media....
Just because it's fast developing doesn't mean it isn't still poor
Wish you could be Rwandan this song may be you could ask your self if volume is okay
This value -laden narration is infuriating. The narrator even starts by showing us Ugandan currency. Comparing how much people earn in Rwanda with someone in Paris or New York is totally irrelevant. People in Africa, which is mostly rural can live for several months without having to buy anything. Also questioning Arsenal's ethics in doing business with Rwanda as if the West is the standard model of good governance is just down right superiority complex. The world bank index of places to do business is just one way of saying "the most compliant African country for the west to rip off". Just being obsequious is not the same as good for your people yet any country that fails to comply with western demands will suffer the wrath of negative advertising dressed up as intelligent observations. This is just arrogance on stilts.
Rwanda maybe small but it’s not poor. She’s rich in culture and geography. And it’s one of the cleanest and safest countries in the world.

Rwanda are now one of Africa's richest countries Paul Kagame's led a business revival in Rwanda
He is a dictator who has had journalists and policital opponents murdered. His government is a massive human rights abuser.
The economy is growing rapidly and citizens are having a better standard of living than ever before, but Rwanda still isn't considered a "rich country", even by African standards. There is still a large proportion of people living in poverty, the GDP per capita is around the African average (though that isn't really a reliable stat as I came to realize) and the size of its economy is still very small, but I'm sure it won't stay that way for long.
I am from Rwanda and I can tell you that we are not poor and Kagame is the best president and we love him for all he has done for us, He literally saved us from destruction, I wouldn't be alive if he hadn't stopped the genocide

Do Emirates fly to Rwanda. Crazy if not.
It’s the other way around: Rwandair flies to the Emirates and to England as well.
The thing is pretty simple. If they get 20,000 tourist coming to Rwanda and spend a $1000 each, they break more or less even. More so, by getting rich tourist to consider Rwanda a safe place to invest, it easily can make up for 20Million spend on the ad.
Rwanda is ranked *148/213* countries with a *GDP of $10.33 Billion US Dollars* . To put it in perspective the *top 10 poorest countries all have a GDP less than $600 each* . If anything it should be one of the richest countries.
These are people who talk of Africa meanwhile they can not tell you exactly where a country they are talking about is located on a map. From what I heard Rwanda is worst than Saudia Arabia, or Qatar that own premier league teams these are countries where human rights do not exist, no democracy. This country is one of the fastest-growing in Africa and the safest.
You should revisit that title because it is inaccurate
The Rwandan president's surname is too similar to "shit me" in portuguese. 😂

Rwanda is a game changer. Rwanda has own mathematical philosophy. I am so so happy for this business strategies.
The Rwanda situation is complex and paradoxical. European nations have meddled in the affairs of Africa for centuries. As for the average wages of Rwandan citizens, that isn’t the best measure of wealth. Rwanda has a considerable abundance of gems, gold, silver, and other valuable minerals. The problem is, as in most nations, the wealth is unevenly distributed. That said, if Nations with questionable human rights issues can sponsor EPL teams, all businesses should be allowed to do so. I would love a soccer kit with Monte Cristo cigars on it ! Great report on an interesting & controversial topic.

If that happens Stan will probably sell Arsenal shares to Daniel Elk. I wish that happens
What's wrong with a little creativity to boost economic growth. It wouldn't do to have double standards when it comes to African countries. Rwanda is one of the fastest-growing countries in Africa (and the world). Only time will justify the economic decision that the Rwandan government has made.

Thank you 👍 ,I was also concerned about this politically motivated visiting Rwanda ,but anytime I bring the topic on our arsenal pages , someone blocked 🚫 me
Why should a poor Afrikan country not sponsor a big club so long as it benefits it? I think you need to deal with your prejudices so that your mind becomes open than it is at the moment. What, in the first place, is your business questioning the country's decision to take the step? Rwanda and all Afrikan countries are independent, remember?

I like your videos but I disagree with you on this topic. Kagame is only advertising his country to the world. We only think about the cost, not the benefits of promoting the good image of Rwanda.
In my opinion, economic development in a more liberal and democratic country will always be slow as compared to a dictatorial regime. Take the example of the US. The US today was built over a time of 150-200 years but it looks very possible that China might catch up in a space of just 100 years. In a hard fist regime, it is very easy to undermine the people, their working hours can be made longer, working conditions made poorer, and payment made negligible, without the fear of backlash. Any group raising their voice can be silenced. In a democracy, you have to take care of the people first. Manufacturers, or rather job creators do not want to pay too much, so they like countries like China leading to faster growth in such countries.
I'm from Kenya a poor country been to Rwanda the nation and people are extremely poor, beyond the clean Kigali is poverty everwhere even by Kenyan standards

It’s slightly like Singapore, a safe, developing and rich country with a 1 party leader
Promoting their tourism industry to get out of poverty, maybe? #VisitRwanda
No African country is "poor"
@@studentubegh3240 ?
The fact that we are discussing about Rwanda is exactly the point of the sponsorship, I bet many of your subscribers didn’t know about Rwanda . You need to spend money to make money, the sponsorship is not charity. It’s an investment like any other. I think it’s a deliberate decision from Rwanda to invest in local tourism. Tourism is now the main forex earner for Rwanda. In fact the airport has become small due to large increase in tourists that Rwanda is now building a new airport bigger than Heathrow.
I agree. Now if i were to ever visit africa, rwanda would be the country i'd go to
And on top of that we Rwandans are happy with that who is this guy to decide what is better for us .get lost
Point👍🏽
That's truer
This can't be hard to understand.
I am Ugandan, and when they announced that Rwanda were sponsoring Arsenal, the radio started asking why we weren't sponsoring Arsenal.
😂😂
Your radio speaks?!
Naye ugandans man😂😂
Time for Uganda to sponsor Spurs
Sad times
I’m Nigerian. Was in Rwanda in 2019. Spent around $1700, so that statistic is bang on 😂
