@dzaneza@freedomhouse@PaulKagame What you call limited freedom of speech in Rwanda is the zero tolerance of propagation of genocide ideology.Such rhetoric reopens the wounds of survivors of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi,deepening both visible and invisible scars that many still carry. Baseless critics!

REMEMBERING KING MUTARA III RUDAHIGWA (Charles Léon Pierre Rudahigwa)
Among the tragic dates that upright Rwandans can never forget is Saturday, July 25, 1959. Shortly after 11:30 a.m., King Mutara III Rudahigwa of Rwanda born in Nyanza in March 1911 died at the Prince Regent Hospital in Bujumbura. He succumbed following a suspicious injection administered by Dr. Vyncke. This political crime for that is what it must be called plunged Rwanda into state-sponsored violence targeting the Tutsi, beginning in November 1959 and culminating in the genocide committed against the Tutsi from April to July 1994. On this 67th memory of King Rudahigwa’s assassination, honoring his memory serves to recall the principles of good governance that guided his reign principles that should inspire all generations of Rwandans, both present and future.
During his reign, King Rudahigwa proved himself to be a modernist and a progressive. He is best known for his pivotal role in maintaining Rwandan unity, particularly through the abolition of the *ubuhake* serfdom contract and the *uburetwa* and *shiku* systems of forced labor. However, Rudahigwa also advanced Rwanda’s economic development. A few examples include:
- He purchased his own vehicle and did not allow himself to be transported in a traditional hammock.
- Rudahigwa established a *Conseil du Mwami* (Council of the King) to assist him in administration. This institution would later become the *Conseil du Pays* (Council of the Country) in 1942, and subsequently the *Conseil Supérieur du Pays* (Superior Council of the Country) a body akin to a modern-day Senate in 1953.
- The road network expanded quite rapidly during his reign. At his death, Rwanda had different main roads: Bujumbura-Kigali-Kagitumba, Kigali-Ruhengeri-Gisenyi, Cyangugu-Butare-Nyanza, Cyangugu-Bugarama-Bujumbura, Nyanza-Kibuye-Gisenyi, Byumba-Ruhengeri, Cyangugu-Kibuye-Gisenyi, Gitarama-Ruhengeri, Gitarama-Kibuye and Kigali-Kanzenze-Murehe (Burundi). There were also international routes connecting Rwanda abroad: Kigali-Kampala-Mombasa, Kigali-Bujumbura-Kigoma-Dar-es-Salam.
- Rudahigwa developed mining. Before its advent, there was MINETAIN which started in Rutongo in 1930. It was followed by SOMUKI in 1933, GEORWANDA in 1940, COREM in 1946. The main metals exploited were tin, gold, columbo-tantalite, beryl and ambrygonite. The mining industry employed around 15,000 to 16,000 agents.
The fatal blow that led to his assassination was his determination to break free by demanding independence, the abolition of ethnic designations on identity cards, universal education, and the establishment of a university in Rwanda just as existed in the Belgian Congo. The colonial establishment could not tolerate a king who demanded independence; consequently, he suffered the same fate as Lumumba in the Belgian Congo and other African leaders who fought for the welfare of their people.
It is up to the younger generations to take advantage of the era of freedom Rwanda has finally secured thanks to the RPF-Inkotanyi and to advance the cause of true independence by fighting against imperialism and neo-colonialism while striving for complete self-sufficiency. King Rudahigwa worked toward this goal to the best of his ability, for the sake of his people's unity.
We remain deeply grateful to him.
