{UAH} Rwanda: Lesson NOT Learned

Author:  |   |  No comments | 

'Rwanda: Lesson NOT Learned In 1961, Rwanda became a Republic, ruled by a president. Before that, Rwanda was a monarchy and it was ruled by a king. In 1962, Rwanda became independent from european colonizers. Grégoire Kayibanda was the first post-independent president of the republic of Rwanda. He was a nice guy. Right? He was the savior. But then Kayibanda decided to overstay and rule Rwanda beyond his constitutional term limits. At this point he thought he was a tough guy. What happened to him? He was ousted by Juvénal Habyarimana and subsequently assassinated. As symbolic as president Kayibanda was, having led Rwanda through a memorable social revolution and independence struggles, his murder was never prosecuted, let alone investigated. He died like a dog. Sadly. Habyarimana crashed all opposition parties, his party MRND became Rwanda's unique political party. He also made himself the unique candidate for presidential elections. At the ballots, Rwandans did not vote for their candidate of choice, they voted for their color of choice. And what color choices were there? Just green and brown. Voting green meant voting Habyarimana, voting brown meant voting against. Brown did not represent anyone. The goal was 100% votes and he did very well. He thought he was exceptional. He called himself "Ikinani cyananiye abagome n'abagambanyi", meaning he thought of himself as invincible. What happened to Habyara? Kagame ousted him. Fast forward to RPF rule. What lesson did Paul Kagame learn from his predecessors? None. Zip. Kagame thinks he's the almighty. He crashed all opposition parties, he jails brave Rwandans who try to challenge him in sham elections (i.e., Victoire Ingabire, Théoneste Niyitegeka), or he kicks them out of the country (i.e., Faustin Twagiramungu). Kagame crashes his war comrades mercilessly (he killed Karegeya and Ruzibiza, he jailed Kabuye and Rusagara, he threw out Kayumba and Higiro), just like Habyarimana did Kanyarengwe and Lizinde who turned out to become instrumental in the struggle to oust him. Kagame has been in power for 2 decades now, and he wants to rule for another 2 decades. Kagame is converting "Rwanda constitution" into "Kagame constitution". (Refer to https://www.facebook.com/bosco.mutarambirwa/posts/685631003619:1) So, what lesson did Kagame really learn from his predecessors? None. Zip. He's a terrible student of history. If Kagame was as smart as some onlookers would like to think he is, then he wouldn't be digging himself a grave. The way things stand today, any means are justifiable which would lead to the removal of Rwanda's most ruthless dictator yet, Paul Kagame.'

Rwanda: Lesson NOT Learned

In 1961, Rwanda became a Republic, ruled by a president. Before that, Rwanda was a monarchy and it was ruled by a king. In 1962, Rwanda became independent from european colonizers. Grégoire Kayibanda was the first post-independent president of the republic of Rwanda. He was a nice guy. Right? He was the savior. But then Kayibanda decided to overstay and rule Rwanda beyond his constitutional term limits. At this point he thought he was a tough guy. What happened to him? He was ousted by Juvénal Habyarimana and subsequently assassinated. As symbolic as president Kayibanda was, having led Rwanda through a memorable social revolution and independence struggles, his murder was never prosecuted, let alone investigated. He died like a dog. Sadly.

Habyarimana crashed all opposition parties, his party MRND became Rwanda's unique political party. He also made himself the unique candidate for presidential elections. At the ballots, Rwandans did not vote for their candidate of choice, they voted for their color of choice. And what color choices were there? Just green and brown. Voting green meant voting Habyarimana, voting brown meant voting against. Brown did not represent anyone. The goal was 100% votes and he did very well. He thought he was exceptional. He called himself "Ikinani cyananiye abagome n'abagambanyi", meaning he thought of himself as invincible. What happened to Habyara? Kagame ousted him. How? Habyarimana was assassinated and, just like his predecessor, his own murder was never prosecuted. What goes around comes around.

Fast forward to RPF rule. What lesson did Paul Kagame learn from his predecessors? None. Zip.

Kagame thinks he's the almighty. He crashed all opposition parties, he jails brave Rwandans who try to challenge him in sham elections (i.e., Victoire Ingabire, Théoneste Niyitegeka), or he kicks them out of the country (i.e., Faustin Twagiramungu). Kagame crashes his war comrades mercilessly (he killed Karegeya and Ruzibiza, he jailed Kabuye and Rusagara, he threw out Kayumba and Higiro), just like Habyarimana did Kanyarengwe and Lizinde who turned out to become instrumental in the struggle to oust him.

Kagame has been in power for 2 decades now, and he wants to rule for another 2 decades. Kagame is converting "Rwanda constitution" into "Kagame constitution". (Refer to https://www.facebook.com/bosco.mutarambirwa/posts/685631003619:1)

So, what lesson did Kagame really learn from his predecessors? None. Zip. He's a terrible student of history. If Kagame was as smart as some onlookers would like to think he is, then he wouldn't be digging himself a grave. The way things stand today, any means are justifiable which would lead to the removal of Rwanda's most ruthless dictator yet, Paul Kagame.

very high education. We can call Obote all bad names we have, but the bottom line remains that he got more scholarships for Buganda than all previous Uganda leaders combined. That includes Sir Edward Mutesa, President Lule, President Binayisa, up to and into Ssabasajja Mutebi. Who all happen to be Baganda leaders." Mulindwa
