Kagame Threatens Rwanda's future: New York Times

[Tutafika]

".......Simmering under the surface and threatening to explode after Kagame’s departure are ethnic and political tensions that now go mostly unaddressed. The hostility between Tutsis and Hutus is far from ended, and the governing system is entrenching one-man rule instead of building effective checks and balances. Progress is stunted by a lack of freedom, a repressive media environment, little protection for human rights and the sidelining of political opponents...."

".....Nowhere is the need for international pressure on Rwanda to change its ways more evident than in Kigali’s stance toward its neighbor, the Democratic Republic of Congo. Many of the Hutu perpetrators of the 1994 genocide fled to eastern Congo after a Tutsi-led opposition army seized control of Rwanda. Looking to prevent any future threat to their rule, Kigali’s leaders have been active in the Congo ever since. While Rwandan interference is largely due to a longstanding ethnic rivalry and the desire to create a protective buffer along the border, control of the region’s mineral wealth is another key factor....."

"...... it’s time to take off the kid gloves when dealing with this tiny, landlocked country with outsized influence in East Africa. If there’s any hope of Rwanda winning truly lasting stability, it must change course and stop fueling conflicts across its borders....."

A writer is in New York claims to know what is happening in a village in Rwanda..total hogwash. This kind of propaganda can only sell in Tanzania. The west cant stand a thriving Africa and will do anything to "kill" anyone out to take poverty out of here. Kikwete is the collaborator.

nasihi hata hizi chokochoko na kikwete ni kutafuta vita tu za kumalizana... i may be wrong

ila vita si nzuri kabisa

This is an opinion of one man who has lived in rwanda for only two years. It should be taken in that context.

Whether the writer is US or anywhere, does it really matter? Rwanda won't is bias against any objective criticism. The writer would be given names like noted in the main article.

With due respect, "this propaganda can only sell in Tanzania". Why could you easily sell it in Tanzania? Simple:The factories and manufacturers are in Rwanda and, the produces are largely sold in Tanzania because of their empathetic cum sympathetic humanitarian spirit.

In that line The NY Times author kind of borrowing a leaf from Tanzania has genuinely advised you for a road-map towards avoiding creating the prospect refugees provided the war erupts in your land-locked country.

Well. I may agree with your assessment, but i do believe that if Rwanda will be in the hands of a person who is not arrogant, who despises others, who at least shows that he can talk, listen and discuss, or at least respect views from people who do not think the way he thinks, Rwanda ingekuwa na mwelekeo mzuri zaidi kuliko sasa.

You do not need to be in Siberia to know how cold it is up there. You do not need to put your hand in fire to know how hot it can get.

The man talks about genocide as if he was there when people were facing killers, he talks about Sabena Hotel as if he was there....that sucks. Anachezea sana majina ya waliokufa kinyama, i hate this

You guys are very funny!
That almost insane urge to settle scores for the genocide will not ensure you permanent peace!
Forgive and forget and get it on.
