Mfalme wa mwisho wa Rwanda, Kigeli V, afariki dunia

[Kurzweil]

Mfalme wa zamani wa Rwanda Kigeli wa tano Ndahindurwa amefariki dunia akiwa uhamishoni nchini Marekani.

Mfalme huyo alitawala Rwanda kwa miaka miwili tu kwanzia mwaka 1959 hadi 1961 wakati utawala wa kifalme ulipong'olewa kupitia kura ya maamuzi na kumlazimisha kwenda uhamishoni.

Hata hivyo hakuweza kurejea nchini mwake kwa kutofautiana na utawala uliopo sasa nchini Rwanda.

the King Kingeli V in July 1960 sought safe haven in the newly independent nation of Congo.[4] In 1961, Kigeli was in Kinshasa to meet with Secretary General of the United Nations Dag Hammarskjöld when Dominique Mbonyumutwa, with the support of the Belgian government, led a coup d'état that took control of the Rwandan state.[4] The monarchy's rule was formally overthrown on 28 January 1961.[19] The coup resulted in the 1961 referendum about the fate of the nation's royal system.[4]

The election results found that, with about 95% turnout, around 80% of voters opposed the continuation of the monarchy. Kigeli has criticized the affair as rigged; soon after re-entering Rwanda prior to the election, Belgian officials put him under house arrest. Still, he had gotten pushed into exile.[4]

The government officially deported Kigeli to what is now Tanzania on 2 October 1961. He has lived since in multiple other locations over the years, leaving the region of Tanganyika (living in Dar es Salaam) for places such as Kampala, Uganda and Nairobi, Kenya. A decision granting him political asylum in the United States took place in July 1992; he has since embraced American life.[4] Kigeli V of Rwanda - Wikipedia

When Ex-King Kigeli V visited the State Department in 1994 to “talk about his options,” political backing from the US wasn’t on the table. “We told him perhaps he could get a job as a professor, teaching African history,” a spokesperson told the Washington Post at the time. Nor could Kigeli bankroll his own campaign.

The Ex-King gets by on food stamps, a Section 8 housing subsidy, Medicaid, and private donations of cash and clothing, as well as the occasional sale of Rwandan knighthoods to jet-set strangers in search of novelty status symbols.

Timothy Longman, a Rwanda scholar who directs Boston University’s African Studies Center, says that royal riches in Rwanda weren’t particularly fungible. “The monarchy amassed a lot of wealth in cattle and land, neither of which do you any good when you’re in exile,” Longman explains. “He couldn’t ship hundreds of cattle to Washington.”
