International
Of Western media imposing ghost opposition on Rwanda
Rwanda
has consistently experienced political threats from a bunch of bullies in
Western media that are trying to create opposition for Kigali.
These
media are not only impartial but also corrupt. They are serving political
interests of super powers while demonizing as well as threatening developing
countries.
For
Rwanda, things are getting worse as disinformation about Kigali and Rwandans continues
to spread. But for how much longer will Western media blind themselves with fallacious
narratives about Rwanda?
Western
journalists and scholars have shown a great deal of creativity in spreading
fake news about Rwanda’s history, including denial of the 1994 Genocide against
the Tutsi.

Western media attacks Kagame know Rwanda is doing well
The
country was on many occasions portrayed as a sort of ‘hell’ where life is next
to impossible, with allegations of human rights violations, lack of freedom of
speech and democracy. A number of media including but not limited to; BBC,
Aljazeera, Financial Times, New York Times, Times, CNN, the Economist, the
Guardian, Deutsche Welle, VOA, and The Washington Post, repeatedly promote the
narration.
The
modern times’ definition of democracy was hoodwinked by the supremacy of the Global
North that set some lines (in their favor) to limit what should be called
democracy. The word democracy, from its origin, the Greek words "demos" and "kratos", means a way of governing
which depends on the will of the people.
It
does not need to depend on the Global North’s will.
While
trying to define democracy in their lenses, Western media and governments have,
for long, misled international opinion about Rwanda’s political affairs. They,
for example, created Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza into ‘an opposition leader’ to
strengthen their narrative on Rwanda.
For
instance, The Times recently published an article titled: “Rwanda deal unrealistic
and unfair to all sides, says opposition leader Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza”.
Ingabire
is not an opposition leader in Rwanda.
She
is not
qualified to be a politician who has Rwanda’s interests at heart.
Her
sole agenda is promoting the double genocide theory and terrorism, a fact that Western
media intentionally evade.
Organic
Law n° 10/2013/0L of 11/07/2013, governing political organizations and politicians
prohibits anyone who has been sentenced to an imprisonment equal to or exceeding
six months; or committed crimes of Genocide against the Tutsi, to be in the
management of a political organization.
Arrested
in 2010, Ingabire was convicted for divisionism, genocide denial, and collusion
with FDLR – a terrorist group who members committed genocide in Rwanda. She
served eight years, and was not acquitted but released on clemency in
2018.
The
DALFA Umurinzi ‘political party’ she claims to lead is not legally registered
and only exists in her wishful thinking. Her ‘political credentials in Rwanda
are null and void.
Ingabire
and her minders continue to allege that the Rwandan government does not
tolerate dissenting voices, but they do not want the world to know that the
Rwandan government actually does not tolerate genocide ideology and terrorism.
The politics of hate speech and divisionism
have no place in today's Rwanda.
Political
commentators with knowledge of Rwanda’s history think that Ingabire
should instead be in prison regarding her behavior and agenda.
