Rwanda Has Its Own Problems And Never Sought To Blame Others Or Cause Others Trouble. I Advise Burundi To Do The Same.

Human Rights Groups Are Locked In A Fierce Competition For Big Checks From Wealthy Donors And They Need To Generate Big Headlines.

In Rwanda, We Have A Society That Has Experienced A Very Serious Rupture And You Can't Expect All Of A Sudden That Things Will Be Perfect.

The West Has Institutions That Can Punish The Misconduct Of Individuals. What Drove Rwanda And Africa Into Decline Was The Fact That Certain People Weren't Held Accountable.
