Rwanda marked the 30th Liberation Anniversary on July 4, a moment of reflection for Rwandans to look back at a journey from being at a place where they were denied their rights to truly becoming liberated.
That painful history culminated into the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in which more than a million lives were tragically lost to a regime that prioritized hate over love, and personal interest over collective interest. Now Rwandans can find true pride in being identified as Rwandans. That wasn't always the case. There was a time when Rwandans feared identifying as Rwandans even in their own country because of fear of persecution, not to mention those who were refugees in some societies that subjected them to forced labor or else there wasn't an avenue to make a living.
Kagame is right, politics is no longer a tool to exclude and harm each other. That means that while Rwandans respect their government, they do not fear it, because it serves everyone without distinction.
