Bob Brown refused entry to Rwanda

Former federal Greens leader Bob Brown has been banned from entering Rwanda, after the African nation's government cited "contradictory messages" in his visa application.

Dr Brown received formal approval on October 30 to visit the war-torn African nation to support the local Greens party. He was due to depart on Monday before the government's about-face.

"This is very unfortunate, not just for the Greens in Rwanda, but for democracy in a country where political opposition is not wanted by the government of president (Paul) Kagame," Dr Brown said in Melbourne today.

"I will continue to support the Rwandan Greens and to work for people pursuing democracy under far more difficult circumstances than we experience in Australia."

Critics of Rwanda's government say the country is an authoritarian state, with those who speak out persecuted and often killed.

In October, Rwanda controversially gained a non-permanent African seat on the United Nations Security Council.

This came despite a leaked UN report that claimed one of Rwanda's high-ranking officials was leading a violent militia uprising in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

-“The root cause of the Rwandan tragedy of 1994 is the long and past historical ethnic dominance of one minority ethnic group to the other majority ethnic group. Ignoring this reality is giving a black cheque for the Rwandan people’s future and deepening resentment, hostility and hatred between the two groups.”

-« Ce dont j’ai le plus peur, c’est des gens qui croient que, du jour au lendemain, on peut prendre une société, lui tordre le cou et en faire une autre ».

-“The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.”

-“I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.

-“The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
