“The genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda 30 years ago is a stain on our collective consciousness and a brutal reminder of the legacy of colonialism, and the consequences of hate speech” - UN chief @antonioguterres

[Lonzen Rugira @LonzenRugira]

Genocide and the unlikely alliance against Kagame

The RPF has never been against Hutus. It has always been against the Hutu Power ideology. This is the ideology that suggests any country’s problems are caused by Tutsis, and solved by exterminating them.

The RPF is also against Tutsi exceptionalism. This is the ideology that there’s something innately special about Tutsis.

These ideologies were introduced by Belgian colonialists (political and missionary) through racist Hamitic theories which they used first to establish Tutsi rule under colonial oversight (late 1920s-early 1930s: the period of institutionalizing and consolidating of the colonial state) and exclude Hutus and later (late 1950s-early 1960s) to demonize Tutsis and undermine independence movements.

The aim was always to divide and conquer. Which is why the unity of Rwandans is the antidote to both ideologies.

This unity is around the shared identity of Banyarwanda (Hutus and Tutsis share the same culture, speak the same language, do not qualify per definition of tribe/ethnicity). By that definition, they belong to the same ethnicity - the Banyarwanda ethnicity.

Interestingly, the Banyarwanda identity (shared by Hutus and Tutsis) has a strong element of exceptionalism that Tutsi exceptionalists want to usurp and attach only onto themselves. Tutsi exceptionalism is built around the myth of historical greatness, which is also a colonial creation since this triumphalist historical greatness is actually a Banyarwanda (shared) mythology.

Hutu Power is a form of exceptionalism built around the myth of common suffering at the hands of Tutsis, which is a colonial creation since politicised social organisation in pre-colonial Rwanda was around clans (Hutus and Tutsis share the same clans).

President Kagame is hated by both groups, the purveyors of Hutu Power and those of Tutsi extremism. The former hate him because he defeated the Hutu Power government and outlawed political parties that subscribe to that ideology.

The latter hate him because they mistakenly believed that the war Kagame was involved in was to restore Tutsi exceptionalism and feel he denied them their spoils.

Kagame risked his life when he categorically told them that the aim was to liberate all Rwandans and to restore the shared identity of Banyarwanda. They tried to depose him but were also defeated and went to exile in Europe, Canada, and the United States, where the Hutu Power adherents also fled to after committing genocide in 1994.

Both groups - Hutu Power and Tutsi exceptionalists -  have a shared cause to remove Kagame and fight each other for the vision of society they wish for Rwanda, however destructive it is. They view him as the greatest obstacle to this ambition. They are prepared to cause destruction and tragedy to the country, to sacrifice millions of lives of Rwandans, in order to achieve their narrow aims, with self-exile being the only sacrifice they are prepared to undertake.

YOU CAN NOT MIX ALL YOUR FRIEND GROUPS

[Yolande Makolo 🇷🇼 @YolandeMakolo]

@StigAbell I said more than that @StigAbell. Rwandan democracy cannot be copy & paste of your democracy because we have very different histories, contexts & values. Even weather! What you call democracy in the UK has evolved in a very specific context. Rwanda is evolving in our own context.
