Only Democracy can address the ambiguity of the Rwandan conflict
The make believe liberation of opposition amazon Victoire Ingabire has not finished making waves in the Rwandan political circle.
We have spent years demanding change in Rwanda and Mr Kagame can deny being pressurized to liberate political prisoners all he wants but the fact of the matter is that his tyranny and appalling abuse of human rights is a source of embarrassing left handed compliments and shame at the high tables where he enjoys to sit.
He is facing the consequences of his repressive rule.
Thanks to Mr Kagame’s over indulging absolutism Rwanda has reached the sort of impasse that can no longer be quietly swept under the rug .
While it is no longer possible for him to disappear and murder Rwandans and have it go unnoticed ,it is astounding that Mr Kagame and consorts think it is possible to continue ruling Rwanda forever with no accountability ; just as it is delusional of extremists to think they can pick up where they left their dark agenda in 1994!
Rwanda belongs to Rwandans . Whoever they are , wherever they are .
We ought to take a step back and reflect on the sanity of our nation and the future of our country .
The ambiguity of the struggle ahead can be avoided if we all target democracy, avoid repeating the same mistakes and postpone the power struggling and scores settling to post democratic Rwanda.
Indeed our fighting for power will keep taking us from one dictatorship to another.
There are no winners in a dictatorship, we all lose.
The oppressor is a loser and the oppressed is breeding ground for revolt …and revenge.
Let us make the Rwanda of a one man rule a thing of the past .
Let us give Rwanda’s institutions a chance to work for its people.
Let us restore dignity and respect for human life .
