Here in Japan, the Japs would say that: ANATA NO ATAMA katai desu followed by warning: kyosikete meaning be careful. We wonder why a ministry or a district has not been crafted for you upto now like the likes of AWORIS and Mirundis of this world!!

If I asked you were it mesh for you to become one way vision than you’ve ever blockout, I think we could agree that you could work hard, study, learn, and practice more than you ever had. But strangely, the idea of pvc fabric the “perfect version” of ourselves seems so unobtainable.

Unlike in the western world were they honestly identify a hinderence to prosperity and they deligently tackle it, its simply the opposite in some African countries particularly mine Uganda. M7 has concentrated mostly on devising means to keep himself in power by dshing out taxpayers money to suppress or buy off opposition, facilitating security agents(only answerable to statehouse not parliament) to torture those with differnt views. - Ronald Kabuye Sssebunya Sat, 19 Dec 2009 00:18:48 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/957-dictatorships-dont-serve-the-people-they-give-privileges-to-their-cronies#comment-21859 Andrew makes a lot of comparisons between Uganda and Rwanda, but just like Kagame and Rwanda, at one point Museveni and Uganda were the blue eyed boy of the so-called developed world and as time went on, this relationship kept on tearing apart while Museveni kept on clinging to power, instituted more Draconian laws and agitated for a life presidency. That said, we will only judge and find out who the true Kagame is when his time to step out of public office arrives. Will he to be a proud beneficiary of the Mo Ibrahim awards? Only time will tell!!! Roger that!!!! - momo Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:50:05 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/957-dictatorships-dont-serve-the-people-they-give-privileges-to-their-cronies#comment-20728 I would like to know much about the Libyan leader.

So,as we tok plz avoid dividing rwandans along tribal lines-sha reka tuvuge nkabanyarwanda! Surely, if it was a question of majority doing the right things obama would not have been the president of the US! Agn habyarimana wd not have kept some rwandans outside their own country on the basis dat rwanda ninki kirahure cyuzeye amazi! Back, to the point of RPF leadership....plz jean give the credit where its due! Ntabyera de, but the current leadership has performed. Facts, from only one University we now have over 15 uns, national budget support by extnal funds from almost 90% to almost 50%, look at infrastructure dev, universal health care(mittuelle de sante), a country that did not have a 5 star hotel! Visit serena-kigali today, tok of increased enrolmrnt in schools through a competitive and based on merit as opposed iringaniza based on who is who! My friend da list is long........... There could be problems and challenges here and there, but the truth is that we as rwandans if we join hands we shall even overcome such challenges! Time for pointing fingers is over lets, let us unite for common purpose.....I again say it rwanda will be a paradise. Bless you. - Stephen Mugisha Wed, 02 Sep 2009 10:09:32 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/957-dictatorships-dont-serve-the-people-they-give-privileges-to-their-cronies#comment-18721 Dear Stephen, The majority of Rwandans :?: Who are the majority of Rwandans you meant according to you? This is exactly the way you and your counter RPF members tell lies to the world that the majority is behind you, that majority for years labeled as the genocidaires? Huum! Dear Stephen, are you strong enough to challenge/discuss/debate this issue on the British national/international television? The entire world is actually on my side, believing me. Because I will be proving how Paul Kagame is the worst of the bloody dictators, our world has ever hosted. Believe me, 15 years of big lies about the Rwandan tragedy. In addition, to add an insult to injury you say, “Rwandans are in paradise”! What a shame. 3,5 millions assassinated and you describe this as paradise? Rwanda is a country run by criminals. You know that, everybody knows that. Sadly it is not, It's cataclysm at its best performed by RPF slanders. And you will soon be the witness. Rwandans are tired of being so treated, they deserve better. Now the funny part, RPF organizes international meetings, invites football and porn stars to whitewash RPF leadership crimes. Too late! Your tactics won’t work out! Believe me! By any stretch of imagination, it is not possible that 14% of the population have the unique capacity to command and control 99% of the command posts in the military. By any stretch of imagination, it is not possible that 14% of the population take control of all of the aspects of the Rwandan society. I am about the unfortunate fact that the hegemonic position of the tiny minority takes control of all resources that the majority of Rwandans generate I mean the grossly blatant and far reaching drive for ethnic hegemony of a the Tutsi minority from the RPF criminal organization over the rest of the Rwandan people. Concerning your question about crimes committed even before 1959, I am ready for that and we can always discuss it. Did you forget the real causes of the unfinished 1959 revolution? No! there is no way. I do agree you killed our fathers and mothers and burnt all historic proofs but this was not enough. We still know what happened with our ancestors. How for 4 centuries Tutsi monarchies assassinated then castrated to wear the infamous Kalinga with castrated human organs! If you’re ready for that debate on or BBC, please let me know and I will be addressing the BBC producers to make an arrangement. Dutahe cyane. - Jean-Christophe Tue, 01 Sep 2009 20:12:48 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/957-dictatorships-dont-serve-the-people-they-give-privileges-to-their-cronies#comment-18708 Jean-Christophe, Stop being unrealistic and unfair to the majority of rwandans. From your article and the way u said u know kagame than the rest of us. Its possible that u might as well have a personal hatred/grudge against him! For God's sake if u hate him personally does not make him horrible. Another question to u jean, why does your commission of inquiry start in 1990, why not in 1959 or even before? Have u forgotten the argument that rwanda was as full as a glass of water.....so no more space for rwandans! If all men/presidents were as horrible as kagame,Africa would be paradise! - Stephen Mugisha Tue, 01 Sep 2009 17:58:00 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/957-dictatorships-dont-serve-the-people-they-give-privileges-to-their-cronies#comment-16903 Dear Andrew, Without emotions and if you rationally try thinking about the Rwandan tragic events, you couldn’t praise or worship Paul Kagame. You don’t know him and you can’t tell Jews how Hitler good was. Do you think that any one who is the brain behind the Rwanda genocide, somebody who is responsible for such mass slaughters of 3,5 million of Rwandans and more than 4 million of Congolese people can reconstruct the country? What should be your duty (if you were in my place) if criminals run a country like Rwanda? Look, If those guys you’re defending and trying to washwhite were innocent, why then do they refuse a team of independent inquiry about the crimes they committed beginning October 1990? Do you think the same question should be raised if Paul Kagame had no presidential immunity? Please stop whitewashing a bloody monster like Paul Kagame. Did you know that Paul Kagame has committed all crimes that were experienced by Jews during the German Nazi era plus specific crimes made in Rwanda by the bloody Tutsi regime? How could you explained that Hutus, the majority of Rwanda (85%) must wear the Burqa, meaning they have 0 human and 0 civil rights? Justice should be for ALL. What are you talking about Kagame’s attempts to develop the country? Go and double check how adult people are malnourished and live in hospitals! Progress, Security and Peace must be shared by the entire population (of Rwanda ), said US President Barak Obama. The day he will be arrested and indicted, his RPF political machine will collapse, you know that. Help Rwandans by bringing back democratic values and you will see how fast our country will be developed. Freedom of Choice is a universal right and this should be valid to Rwandans. - Jean-Christophe, Libre Penseur Tue, 28 Jul 2009 17:59:00 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/957-dictatorships-dont-serve-the-people-they-give-privileges-to-their-cronies#comment-15816 And why-ever you don't tag yourself as "The last word" or even better "The Moderator"? If Em gets hot under the collar due to what Mwenda has written / expressed, I assume he / she has the same freedom to dissipate their their frustration in these comments. Point at hand, "contribute" to the debate rather than invigillating. - Emperror Thu, 25 Jun 2009 05:38:55 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/957-dictatorships-dont-serve-the-people-they-give-privileges-to-their-cronies#comment-15815 Ba Em..u make a fair case about false statements & stats in Mwenda's story, & his over praise of Kagame. But on the whole, so what? whats wrong with being compared? bcoz it seems to hurt you & many that praises are being sung for Rwanda! You earlier even seem to imply some threats to Mwenda of 'what happened to pple like him in the past', i think this is bullshit. At the end of the day, hes got a right to make his opinion heard or read & if you dont like it because the gist of it is true, deal with it! He may be compromised by what you say, but even then, ardent readers of Mwenda can tell that he makes his case & you see it. You are not telling us anything new with the mistakes - ive questioned his sources of stats etc, but i dont fault his labouring the point by making some exaggerations! - paulo Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:40:16 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/957-dictatorships-dont-serve-the-people-they-give-privileges-to-their-cronies#comment-15814 Glad you noticed (and you are NOT my mate!) - Emperror Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:35:18 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/957-dictatorships-dont-serve-the-people-they-give-privileges-to-their-cronies#comment-15813 oh..how the emperror loves to label every opposing view a 'UPC'.....gotta love this guy - paulo Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:22:25 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/957-dictatorships-dont-serve-the-people-they-give-privileges-to-their-cronies#comment-15812 hmm..someone likes to criticize, & is all over the debate...sometimes with half witted responses..but surprisingly gets really touchy when criticised...calm down mate, its only a debate! - paulo Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:13:06 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/957-dictatorships-dont-serve-the-people-they-give-privileges-to-their-cronies#comment-15782 a bride let alone the fact that body parts will be stolen. I think Kagame has done alot of commendable work that should not annoy people wen it comes to the limelight. How i wish U'da had 1,000 Mwendas to expose the filth that is taking place in U'd!! We trully need a savour!! - sam Tue, 23 Jun 2009 21:27:19 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/957-dictatorships-dont-serve-the-people-they-give-privileges-to-their-cronies#comment-15781 Mwenda, i like the way yu back what yu say with facts. The likes of BA and Emperor(who hide their names for fear of being taken for drunkards) should back their biased utterances with facts too. Lets try to be sincere and thank God that Africa has a states man Like Kagame at a time when we Need a spokes person to restore the trust and confidence that Africa once had and deserves. Yu should have seen the international recognition this guy had at the World Economic Forum last Week in Cape Town where he was ansering Qns for Africa. Atleast he repsented Africa at a time wen all Leaders were struggling to beg the super powers. I think Kagame derves better than being compared with an old timer who has run out of his senses. Emperor or what ever yo name is-i don't think yu are doing justice to yo mother land if yu can't even see that wat is happening in 3A Mulago or the fact that even getting a corpse from the Mortuary requires yu to give a bribe is absurd let alone the fact that even body parts will be stolen, Mulago is a disgrace to the once parl of Africa. Keep up Mwenda,how i wish we had 1000 of Yu. - sam Tue, 23 Jun 2009 21:20:47 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/957-dictatorships-dont-serve-the-people-they-give-privileges-to-their-cronies#comment-15557 emperor,your evil laden mouth is an epitome of the rot of this country.it just reminds me of the stench in the " beautiful ones are not yet born" if i am not mistakenly, your mind is robot configured to defend and insult whoever has divergent views from your boss. however, you are not qualified to have been employed to respond to issues on this plat form,at least some one with the courtesy of reason would have been put in your place, but because your employer despises hard work, adores incompetence and peasant minds like you,then there you earn your pay cheque per month. if you could request them to offer you training on literally language and style and some bit of reasoning ,then you would do them better service, but at present you are like a drunkard in a church and you will get no converts. i await for your insults,an epitome of our national decay. - king Thu, 11 Jun 2009 18:39:33 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/957-dictatorships-dont-serve-the-people-they-give-privileges-to-their-cronies#comment-15390 The question now is; Where do you draw the line between being a responsible and balanced investigative journalist and being a businessman? Is the The Independent Magazine is not independent after all since its job now is to support dictatorships for money. I appreciate your writing s****s but remember that it is the same pen that is used to bring about truth and justice that is used spread propaganda that will be harmful in the future. To be honest, grassroot Rwandese are not fooled by this international praise on Kagame because they are mostly malnourished poor and suffering because of the unjust legal systems. It is because of this international praise that M7 thinks he still has 'the vision'.. You are feeding Kagame with the same menu.. You might find him going for a third term..But that is exactly what you want? Right? Your services will be more required at the time when his popularity will be in the gallows. - Ba Em Thu, 04 Jun 2009 21:42:05 +0100
