It is time to initiate the end  of the era of tyranny, harassment  and intellectual laziness in Rwanda.

Albert Einstein once said that repeating the same thing and expecting to see different results was insanity.

The Rwandan power conflict needs to be approached differently now.

It would be insane to pursue this vicious cycle of delusional ethnic politics .

We need to put a stop to  the repetition of flawed revolutions that always come with the prospect of  more violence erupting over time .

What Rwanda needs is a system of solid trustworthy institutions, and for that we need to heavily invest in our education system  so that it produces independent critical thinking that will uphold the principles of freedom and democracy as opposed to supporting inequality.

Rwanda’s education system is to blame for the  delusion of ethnic supremacy we continue to be faced with.

Until we have  a professional and competent civil service that can be trusted  to be fair no matter who is in power, we will always be pawns to a lurking tyrant .

Rwandans need a renewed  sense of civic duty. We need to put our country  first. It is the one abstract entity we have in common no matter our background : our country .We  have been manipulated into putting the face of Kagame on our country for almost three decades now  ,but slowly people are catching up to the con.

We need to find renewed passion for our country.The sort of renewed passion that demands  the restoration of our constitution and never allows for any individual to tamper with it  again, no matter how popular or cunning or powerful they are.

Breaking away from the comfort zone of that delusional  brotherhood in ethnic politics  is very hard but it  can be done and it needs to be done because we must  break away from this vicious cycle of violence and folly.

We need to look towards the future, we need to find the courage to stop holding on to a past we cannot change  and create a system that is inclusive and competitive where no one side is dominant.

We must depoliticize governance.

It needs to be done. We owe it to our beloved Rwanda. The Rwanda of our children and our grand children.
