Rwanda’s rebirth is still the uphill herculean task it was when the Honorable Dr. Joseph Sebarenzi was bullied into abandoning his parliamentarian duties to the nation and fleeing for his life in 2000.
Sebarenzi’s departure marked Rwanda’s descent into a disturbing autocracy with a military strong man at its head. In defense of this suffocating despotism, many of Kagame’s lackeys will excuse their pusillanimity saying the end would justify the means.” We are a post-genocide society…” “ Singapore did it before us …” “ We are rebuilding a nation from its ashes, we cannot waste time entertaining individual grievances, there are institutions to be built…” It is always easier to make excuses. Our intellectuals do not want to make waves. They have seen how it ends for those who refuse to submit to the will of the emperor.
It has been 27 years since RPF’s military victory and for all his human rights abuses, Chairman Kagame does deserve credit on a crucial number of things but he will not single-handedly manage to re- ideologize Rwanda into a united nation. In 27 years, Kagame has built Rwanda a universal healthcare system, a respected army, and adulated police in spite of his abhorred henchmen in both forces.
Rwanda’s newly graduated officers will need the help of a genuine parliament and an independent judiciary to succeed in their mission to safeguard the integrity of our nation and the security of its citizens. Rwanda needs the return to the scene of real politicians such as the Hon Dr. Sebarenzi.
It is the return of learned individuals that will save Rwanda’s agonizing education system, inspire a realistic reconciliation, and encourage exiles into returning home to invest and build our Rwanda into the prosperous nation it is meant to be.
Dear yellow bellies in Kagame’s entourage, your sycophancy is a disservice to your leader. You cannot continue your self-serving hypocrisy, leaving all the cerebral heavy lifting to your master. He will continue to brain drain Rwanda. That is what intelligence officers train to do.
