Rwigema Built Kagame Destroyed

<p>Fred Rwigema the visionary founder of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) is justly revered as Rwanda's steadfast Moses fearlessly guiding the Tutsi back to their homeland on October 1 1990 after enduring three decades of exile. Rwigema possessed a profound vision for a united democratic and prosperous Rwanda. He actively cultivated a collaborative leadership that included both Tutsi and Hutu along with influential industrialists all united by a shared commitment to realize his ambitious aspirations. However following the tragic loss of Rwigema Paul Kagame seized control of the RPF systematically undermining Rwigema's ideals through savage warfare. The dream of a harmonious democratic Rwanda-rooted in inclusive leadership and economic collaboration-was effectively obliterated. Moreover Kagame unleashed a wave of terror against Rwigema's family driven by a deep-seated insecurity concerning Rwigema's enduring legacy. The pivotal date of October 1 1990-the day Rwigema bravely led the RPF home-has been intentionally erased from Rwanda's historical narrative. If Rwigema were to witness the current state of affairs he would be horrified by two glaring contradictions. First rather than a unified leadership Kagame's regime is largely filled with Hutu politicians who have been recycled from exile. Second Kagame's Rwanda is dominated by white men predominantly from the United States who occupy key positions across almost all critical institutions. The erasure of Rwigema's vision legacy and achievements is not only tragic but serves as a stark reminder of the upheaval that arises from a dictator's relentless pursuit of power. Rwigema's dream of an inclusive and prosperous Rwanda stands as a powerful symbol of hope overshadowed by the chaos that has ensued in its absence.</p>
