Behind The Presidential Curtains: President Paul Kagame A honest Man
Kagame with Kikwete he wants him dead
He was called a liar, a killer, and once a psychotic patient. However, a few days ago he proved the whole world wrong when he turned to be a honest man. Why do we rate him a honest man? I remember sometime back, President Paul Kagame would sacrifice anything to protect a secret; these ideas of keeping every mission or plan secret left all Rwandans moaning, because a large number of service men and women became victims of just knowing a lot!
This was an idea from then that Major Kagame, was to protect secrets. The honest man we are talking about today has forgotten the whole idea as to why he killed our brothers, he only talks rough without thinking.
Whilst addressing residents of the Northern and Western provinces in Nyabihu , President Paul Kagame said those who compromise the security of Rwanda will be dealt with decisively. Those who choose to minimise the importance of the lives lost embolden the terrorists and hence is a demonstration of double standards.
The killing of Rwandans has been normalised by most people, and for the foreigners, they even ignore us when we talk of being killed or a head of state threatening to kill innocent people. This is because death or killing is normal in Rwanda. We heard the honest man his excellence Paul Kagame threatening opponents that he will start shooting at them in broad day light, Rwandans either clap hands or stay quiet. You wonder how someone claps hands when a head of state threatens to kill fellow countrymen or countrywomen!
We are living in a tiny place like Rwanda, smaller than Buganda kingdom, or Wales, full ghosts and criminals such as President Paul Kagame and his right hand men, plus a population of 11 million who are incapable of consenting to anything. Ruled by a weapon, a bunch of right hand men to the President, are getting richer whilst the rest are being guarded, and stressed at all times.
So let’s first see what is normal? Because Mr Paul Kagame may be right when suggesting killing his opponents, by normalising it:
The word normal is frequently used to describe all sorts of things including behaviour, personality and even appearance. But is there such a thing as ‘normal’ and if there is, how do we know what is ‘normal’? Professor Gordon Brown and principal teaching fellow Martin Skinner from the Department of Psychology explore this issue. Professor Gordon Brown states“People’s ideas today about ‘what is normal’ are very different to beliefs in the past, and also differ between cultures. However, even within a culture and at a given time, people’s idea of what is normal can be changed and can alter people’s behaviour. For example, telling high energy consumers that neighbours consume less energy can cause the high consumers to reduce the amount of energy they use, and telling hotel guests that most previous occupants of their room recycle their towels can increase recycling. These are examples of ‘nudging’ people’s behaviour in a desirable direction by telling them what is normal. Nudges often apply when people don’t really know (until they are told) what ‘normal’ behaviour is”.
Even though these psychologists defines normal in a neutral way, by promoting culture as an engine to drive normality, logically, ‘normal’ is defined as conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected.This is where we Rwandans are stuck by believing that we have got to do what the leaders want, not the other way around in a democratic way where leaders should listen to the voters as the majority.
When I heard the speech of our President Paul Kagame threatening to kill his countrymen, I recalled all the people he has killed and declined to admit to. This time though he became a honest man, simply because he managed to speak out, something he failed for so long. He threatened to kill a lot of people recently, what left me surprised though is that Kagame has changed his way of working:
Kagame wants them all dead
From secretive to talkative and abrupt in words, threatening fellow regional leaders and actually killing people in foreign countries. Paul Kagame was once a popular leader who was trying to build his profile around peace, is now known as a killer. He has threatened to kill Jakaya Kikwete the president of the republic of Tanzania simply because they disagreed on how peace can be achieved in the Greatlakes region. President Kagame sought help from President Nkurunziza of Burundi, the idea was to use the Burundian intelligence network and track down Kikwete’s movement and get him killed. Poor Kagame went on national TV and announced how he was going to kill Kikwete, and so Nkurunziza realised that the man was not fit enough to keep a secret, and immediately he reported to Kikwete. The Tanzanian government announced that all Rwandans on their land be returned to Rwanda in order to strengthen security at home.
President Desire Kabila killed by Kagame
Now as we speak Kagame is planning to eliminate Nkurunziza as well, just because he walked out of the deal. Kagame has tried everything to destabilise South Africa and failed. President Kagame is the same man who killed President Desire Kabila Senior, just because they fell out due to DRC’s natural resources that Kagame had turned a source of income. He went on to make three attempts to kill the younger Joseph Kabila who was protected by mercenaries from Angola and Namibia for some time. You wonder what the world sees in Kagame if not trading with him and keep a blind eye. President Kagame managed to get in power after downing a plane carrying two presidents; he also made five attempts to kill president Museveni of Uganda, when they disagreed on DRC matters. President Museveni had to give up as Kagame had started to divide his army and arming them on side. Museveni in his words said that ‘’Kagame is a mad dog’’! If we are not careful it will bite us, he then decided to follow him until today. He knows very well that Kagame is totally out of order however to save his skin he has to keep following. President Kagame’s crimes can go on and on however nobody cares. He has attacked individuals in countries such as South Africa, Mozambique and threatened people in Western Countries.
Noble Marara recalling from time: and now Noble Marara after losing hair
I remember most of Kagame’s quotes and wonder what he is saying today, because the quotes he made some time back do not match his behaviour at all today. Most of us wonder if this grumpy old man recalls his words!
Paul Kagame is quoted as saying ‘’we cannot turn the clock back nor can we undo the harm caused, but we have the power to determine the future and to ensure that what happened never happens again’’.
Noble Marara: Here President Kagame appeared like offering believement to the victims of genocide and the perpetrators at the same time. He later released the killers and silenced the victims of genocide who failed to lie for political reasons.
Kagame some time back calling for help
Paul Kagame‘’Let no one think that flexibility and a predisposition to compromise is a sign of weakness or a sell-out’’.
Noble Marara: This message was meant to the West to threaten them before receiving an unaccountable aid.
Paul Kagame‘’There are some who are scared by unity and by building a country on the basis of ideas’’.
Noble Marara: This message actually applies to his excellence Paul Kagame.
Paul Kagame “You kept quiet… When these victims wanted your help to survive, you kept quiet”
Noble Marara: here President Kagame was threatening the West again using blaming and pointing a finger in order not to be questioned in future. Hoping to be called a hero and saviour of Tutsi’s, all the time buying more time to brain wash the society in believing that all Hutus are killers.
Paul Kagame‘’There are some who are scared by unity and by building a country on the basis of ideas’’.
Noble Marara: here it appears the President could not understand what he was talking about himself!
Paul Kagame ‘’There is a need to take advantage of the change that has taken place in the Congo, however tragic that has been in its coming’’.
Noble Marara: the president was right when he mentioned taking advantage but not the change.
Paul Kagame ‘’Such problems are not solved in one day but there is a great step toward peace and security in the region’’.
Noble Marara: The president is in a dreamland because there is no great step towards peace when he refuses to negotiate with his opponents and rebels of FDLR, and also when he is threatening neighbouring states, plus killing his critics.
