@gateteviews @gateteviews, keen observer as ever. The smallness/bigness of Kigali/Rwanda is part of I try to understand in my PhD Thesis (#selpromotion). It has to do with how 'urban' is conceptualized. I spare you the theoritical stuff but what is a city is not as simple as it sounds.

Did you know that Kigali was one of the biggest capitals in Africa in terms of area size? I know this sounds counterintuitive because Rwanda is known to be a small country. But "Kigali" actually means "The Big Place".

@gateteviews What did Kissinger say about Iran-Irak war again ? “It’s a pity they can’t both lose.” Although, I think in this they might.

@freyntje you are talking about another subject that is not Rwanda ? Nuance isn't your thing, is it ?

When will we finally exclude #Israel, an Asian country guilty of war crimes, from all European competitions? Or do we choose to remain complicit?

@SamuelBaker_B Character, history and capacity of those who end up leading countries are quite consequential concepts that great minds should discuss but when small minds (read when hungry ones) hear them they think it is about individual people.

@freyntje you might know where Rwanda is, but you haven't been for the last 30 years. So, by your own logic, your writings on Rwanda are on the level of Jokes and I almost agree except they are not funny and either.

@freyntje @KabarebeJames @RwandaMoD Vous êtes juge; pourriez-vous confirmer que RDF est en RDC ? Vous connaissez les limites des rapports des #GoE. Photos satellites à peu près 😂. Le rapport des @UN n'est pas l'évangile. Sinon comment voulez-vous que @MONUSCO justifie son renouvellement sans bouc émissaire ?!

Come on @KabarebeJames. It is #Rwanda that relaunched #M23 in November 2021, remember? Had nothing to do with Rwandan security concerns, but with military and economic deals struck between #DRC and #Uganda.
The New Times (Rwanda)@NewTimesRwanda

WATCH: Gen. (Rtd.) James Kabarebe, Rwanda’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, says international support for #DRCongo’s #FARDC, allied with #FDLR militia, is backing efforts to destabilize #Rwanda’s security.

@freyntje @PaulKagame @RwandaMoD @LarryMadowo A lot can be said about the war in Congo and the damage it does to the region but the fact that it sends you to your Parmehutu extremism and you start using anti-tutsi dog whistle like 'ubwenge' is a sad reality.

@freyntje If the Belgian state made it its goal to actively fight the Leopoldian genocidal ideology. You would now be a better person.

@gateteviews You forget other aspects of life that those countries face: Existential crises (anxiety, depression, suicidal mindset) due to a lack of sense of purpose. Family structures being broken down which means no balance with the way children are raised, etc.. #IstandWithTheChurches

Religion is the main factor of poverty in developing countries. Research shows that the least religious countries have the most peaceful and enlightened people, while theocracies are the most oppressive, especially to women. Rwanda, a poor country closed 5000 churches this week.

@freyntje @rwandan_pundit @RwandaGov That is the point exactly. Why insist on ethnicity as heurestic tool to understand governance even when your own empirical data says otherwise ? a strong unhealthy, colonial and racist ideological commitment to the concept is a possibility.

After all the time, work and effort I put in, I am very disappointed to hear that I am not on the list of presidential candidates. @PaulKagame why won't you let me run? This is the second time you cheat me out of my right to campaign. Ndababaye.

@freyntje @CoulibalyBojana Being attacked by a "rebel force"(citizens who were brutally expelled from their country and not allowed to come back) does not justify commiting a genocide, and militarily helping a government that think so is the very definition of complicity.More followers don't make you right

@freyntje @CoulibalyBojana and militarily supporting a genocidal government is just a non-event for you ? UNBIASED observers would call that complicity.

If you are interested in the rise of authoritarianism, urbanisation in the global South, the ways in which ruling elites try to dominate city populations, and the way those populations respond.... 👀 Forthcoming September 2023.
