This is the disease the Rwandan Head of State is suffering from as described by a renowned media Dr Shaka Sali of Voice of America on the Straight Talk Africa programme.

Kagame has been described by many experts from all the academic disciplines as a man who does not tolerate political competition in the country but when he fears all types of competition then that’s when it becomes a disease rather than a trait of intolerance.

The Straight Talk Africa programme was hosting the Rwandan Tycoon and a former advisor to the Rwandan Head of State Tilbert Rujugiro Ayabatwa. Also in the attendance was Dr Himbara David an Academic and former advisor to the Rwandan Head of State on Economic Development.  President Kagame has been described as a person who lacks some kind of self belonging emanating from his childhood, lack of care and poverty of his family might as well have contributed to all this kind of behavior.

Although I have been one of the people who believe that the above factors could influence somebody’s behavior, I will argue on this occasion that Kagame is not only a patient of a chronic disease of pathological fear of fair competition but also a man who is suffering from post murder disorder.  This is a chronic disease of people who have killed many people, committed many crimes and to them, anybody who tries to talk otherwise or argue differently is seen as a threat to their survival. Here I’m not talking about political survival, but rather life threatening by being exposed to death.

President Kagame his careerist of killing which started in Uganda where he was a military officer and many of his colleagues nicknamed him pirate, indeed, whoever passed in front of him, and it was a door of no return. When he assumed the leadership of RPF after the death of the Rwandan hero Gen. Fred Rwigema, his brutality was transferred even to his comrades and friends. He has killed in Rwanda and neighboring Congo where experts estimate 6 million people have been butchered by Kagame forces on his orders.

As the Greek philosopher Plato said, he/she “who does no wrong does not need a law” do u think Kagame will allow anybody to compete with him knowing what the opponent will say?

They will ask him the Kibeho massacre, killings of people in the areas which where liberated before the capture of Kigali and genocide in general, what will he say?  Apart from that, he knows that if his opponents hit him on that, the international community he has deceived for all these years will abandon him.

Kagame has embezzled a lot of money from the state coffers, the RPF business empire is under his control, he has manipulated and exploited the Rwandan society with the so called Kwihesha Agaciro Fund where they have collected billions of Rwandan Francs.   Does this money have any accountability? But who will dare  to ask that?  Therefore President Kagme suffocating political opponents is not only fearing competition but rather hiding crimes against humanity.  Kagame is a man who has created enemies everywhere, he dismisses his Generals and calls them Ibigarasha, useless, sometimes human waste, how do you think would you behave when you are confronted with all these dilemmas?

The Rwandan government just recently played cheap politics when it introduced the so called Ndi Umunyarwanda project, where the governments argues that, the project will sensitize the Rwandans on the national identity, but on the contrary the project is aimed to taint one group of people as devils and another one as saints, or put it this way as one group of victims and another one as perpetrators. There is no doubt that  some Rwandans exterminated their fellow Rwandans in what is the  modern holocaust of the 21 Century but to come out and say that  all Hutus should come out and apologize to the Tutsis, it’s not only disastrous but also  a latent heat of a volcano which will explode any time without warning.

Nobody knows for sure what Kagame is thinking after his humiliation defeat in Congo; here I’m saying that Kagame was defeated because it’s on the record that he has been fighting all the wars in Congo under proxies and the recent one being M23. It could therefore be submitted that if all the factors mentioned above remain constant, Kagame is likely to go back to Congo through the proxies using his own borders or using Uganda as a transit to the borders that Congo shares with Uganda. Whether Kagame will accept the defeat and tame his habits or get a cure for the diseases mentioned above, time will tell.
