Why cant we Ugandans? yes we can... or yes we could !! let us learn then from our own students

[Feebloomer2000]

I cant believe there are Rwandans that oppose Kagame, he stopped the genocide...when the rest of the world was looking away... and rebuild the country....

i wish we had leaders like that in my country.....

Interesting. The fourth of July is also the United States' Independence day. What a coincidence.

@allclues Yes Kagame is miracle in what he delivered more than His predecessors. Both Habyarimana and Kagame have never done more than We The People. All we expect from our leaders is just a good governance, that’s it. Kagame believe in incorporating every body, I mean every body, and that’s the difference. Kagame has confidence in Himself and his People, to determine their fate and destiny, and compete in the world stage, Habyarimana did not. That’s difference and the results speak volume

@Igikobo: How can you say Pre-1994 wasn't develped? Who built the same stadium all this is taking part? Habyarimana. Terrace farming was introduced in Rwanda back in 1982! Where was the so called Hero Kagame? While I hail him as having done some progress, I also have an problem with fanatics like you who look at the one side of the coin. You claim to know both Rwandas (pre and post) but if you really did, you wouldn't stick to thinking Kagame is a "miracle worker". He didn't do more than Habyara

Pussy-veni, Me -less zanawi talk about a convetion of Imperialist lackeys!!

[Igikoko]

Wrong sir. I happen to know both Rwandas, the one before genocide and the one after. The only Rwanda I don't know is the virtual one. The one that was imagined in some circles abroad and cherished in the nostalgics' minds.

[erwin5us]

it seems you just know Rwanda after 1994. I f you knew it before 1994, you wouldn't be calling me a dreamer. Dude, understand I don't discuss this with you to put you down but I am trying to prove my point in a respectful way. if someone opposes Kagame, he gotta go to jail, come on now, where is the democracy?

[Igikoko]

Absolutely. That is exactly what is happening in the Rwanda of your dreams and wishes. As for the real Rwanda, people (Rwandans and non-Rwandans) travel every single day in and out of Butare, Gisenyi, Ruhengeri, Cyangugu, etc . What they see will continue to make them laugh at your words and others'. It will take time but you will end up accepting the reality. By the way it's all good news, for Hutu, Tutsi and Twa.
