Recently, President Kagame pardoned terror convict Paul Rusesabagina, after the latter scribed an apology letter bedding for clemency. Genocide fugitives and ideologues in their hideouts hopped to the diversion of the clemency, trying to depict it as result of western countries’ pressure.
On October 14, 2022, terror convict Rusesabagina wrote an apology letter that was delivered to the Justice Minister. Rusesabagina, the MRCD-FLN leader regretted atrocities committed by FLN armed terrorist militia in the Western Province, claiming scores of innocent Rwandans and maiming hundreds others.
On March 24, 2023, President Kagame informed the cabinet meeting that he granted collective commutation to 20 members of MRCD-FLN including Paul Rusesabagina. Since then, anti-Rwanda elements and groups erupted in lousy accounts that echoe the ‘western pressure’. FDU- Inkingi can’t miss in the list of this bandwagon.
Thus, the anti-Rwanda network, FDU-Inkingi found it a right time to smear Rwanda peddling the nonsense of regime change. The overseas genocidaires cited “the need of peace and tranquility in Rwanda.” They argued that it requires what they called ‘pressure’ to extend the hand and topple the Rwanda government.
President Kagame’s clemency can be depicted in any forms these anti-Rwanda elements wish. They can also go far and expose their radical ideology that Rwanda expelled 29 years ago. But one thing is for sure, the only change Rwandans need, is a discard of HutuPower ideology. Rwandans will never stop the struggle to fight that poisonous ideology that sank the country into the genocide against Tutsi.
On the other note, like Rwanda Government’s spokesperson, Yolande Makolo put it, Rwanda is better than it has ever been in our history. We worked really hard to build this country in the last 29 years and we are proud what we have achieved.”
Empty political discourses won’t deter Rwanda from progressing.
A luta continua.
