UnfilteredBrush : “targets locked… fire at will!”

In a country where even eagles seem to have official badges, the President, clinging to his slingshot power like a Sunday archer, has identified his new “targets” : civil society and good governance activists. Pacifique Nininahazwe, president of the Forum for Conscience and Development (FOCODE), and Faustin Ndikumana, national director of Speech and Action for the Revival of Conscience and the Evolution of Mentalities (PARCEM), would certainly agree.

These two figures, who asked for nothing more than a little democracy and respect for human rights, paid a heavy price : beaten (kumesurwa) in front of a stunned audience, while the President boasted about lining his own pockets at the expense of the starving people.

The activists, stoic and determined, respond : “We survived the official statements, so a rebellion… honestly?”

The “friend of youth,” the Samuragwa, prefers to silence any voice of reason rather than listen to the citizens.
Your Excellency, by targeting everything that moves, you risk blinding yourself.
Tugire amahoro!
