KIGALI, Friday
Rwanda's presidency on Friday dismissed rumours that the country's leader Paul Kagame is dead.
The denial came amid reports of street celebrations in the Democratic Republic of Congo city of Goma, situated on the border with Rwanda, although it was not immediately clear what sparked the celebrations.
"That is completely wrong," an official from President Kagame's office told AFP of the rumours.
"The president is currently meeting US students as part of his routine audiences. You are free to come and attend the audience and meet him as well," the official said.
A close aide to Kagame, Yolande Makolo, also dismissed the rumours, saying on Twitter that they were "utter nonsense".
