Going by Andrew Mwenda's Standards of Rwanda's Reconciliation, It's a reflection without a Mirror.
As usual Andrew Mwenda is in defense of the project of Kagame and His wife of indoctrination of the vulnerable Rwandan youth in the disguise of reconciliation. Rwanda's intriguing experience in Andrews's article on Friday, 02 August Edition which is actually partly funded by the Rwandan Taxpayer is not only misleading but also wrong in substance and content.
Andrew says that every time he reads a book about Rwanda or experience as regular visitor to Rwanda while attending official and informal gatherings, or by travelling to the countryside and talking to ordinary citizens, he discovers how little he knows about the state and society of the Rwandan people. Andrew should not mislead the readers of his article, he is not only a regular visitor but he is also an employee of Kagame and RPF who is a regular recipient of the Rwandan Tax payers money to advertise and market the RPF brand on the expense of the horrible atrocities the Kagame regime has committed against many Rwandans.
The Imbuto foundation he mentions in his story is a platform and a springboard for the Kagame family to source money from donors which is in turn used against many Rwandans who have different political views. If Andrew is honest why can't he talk about different people who have disappeared under the Kagame regime because they have another political perspective? Has Andrew taken time to talk to the children of the former member Parliament Hitimana Leonard? What about Col. Kiza Augustin who was murdered in the cold blood by the Kagame Security forces? While he admits that it is difficult to capture in written words the emotional tone of that moment(project of intoxication), the meaning of it, and the fullness of it, he does not tell the readers of his article who is behind this project and the purpose. Why in the first place doesn't he condemn in the strongest terms a regime which tells its youth to go on their knees to beg for forgiveness of the sins of their ancestors?
Why can't he tell the Ugandan Leader to tell the Acholi and Langi youth to apologise for the sins of their ancestors during the post independence regimes in Uganda if he wants Rwandans to take his misguided analogy? Indeed, has Andrew taken time to make a thorough research on how many likes of Nelly Mukazayire are working in other departments? Is he aware of the woman of Simon Bikindi convicted of genocide who was expelled from work by Barekana Eugene who at the time was working in the Ministry of Youth and Sport and she is now wandering in the wild with Simon Bikind's children?
As a regular visitor to the President's office he admits that he has been putting Nelly in the basket of ethnic division of the Tutsis because she is simply a good looking girl. What a shame to Mr Andrew who thinks in the physical deception which he thinks is the determinant of the Rwandan ethnicity. Andrew knows very well the project of his master that he is laying a foundation of political strategy come 2017 by appeasing by deception some Rwandans using the ethnic political card in the same way his predecessors used to dive and rule. As if the analogy of Mr Andrew is not misleading enough, he adds salt to an injury ""We judge people on the basis of their record and conduct," the lady from President's Office told Nelly, "not on the basis of their parent's conduct. What a lie and a naked lie! Does he know what happened to the brother of Kayumba Nyamwasa the former Rwandan Army Commander Col. Rugigana Ngabo who is till rotting in jail because he just happens to be a brother to this man who fell apart with Kagame?
What about the family of Col. Karegeya Patrick , Rugiro, Frank Ntwari just to mention a few whose passports were cancelled by the Rwandan Immigration on the orders of Kagame? . Why can't Kagame give a decent job to the families of the founder of the RPF Gen. Fred Rwigema who did not only sacrifice his blood but was very instrumental in bringing Kagame closer to President Museveni who single handedly imposed him to the RPF political and military establishment after the death of late Fred. It is an open secret that Kagame and his political architects are in high gear planning for the next presidential elections known or unknown to the likes of Mwenda and that's why all the people who are perceived to be an obstacle will be swept away to make the road passable for the political machination of the RPF.
Indeed, it hurts many Rwandans if people like Andrew keep misleading Rwandans and the international community that Rwanda is on the course of reconciliation using that yard stick of getting two people. The youth under the brain washed Bamporiki and Nelly, don't represent the majority thinking of Rwandans. Indeed, Andrew should go to the people down in the village without the Kagame escorts, people will tell him how are hungry, they cannot take their children to school, University bursaries have been removed, good medication is hard despite the medical insurance scheme where people in this country are statistically classified not according to their income but according to the RPF planning of deception. Therefore Andrew should not be taken by greed but rather by professional ethics and integrity.
