I one of the learned, young Rwandans, leaving in Rwanda and so strongly following what is happening in Rwanda today because i do not want to see what happened in 1994 happening again. What is so painful, much as the Umuco editor has an opinion, Those who planned and executed the genocide had a plan too.

This means that i think that it so sad, with all the srides the leadership is doing to get our country to where it is today, someone claiming to be Rwandan, a journalist, in collaboration with a Ugandan if that is not a shadow name (Mukasa0, can equate our President to Hitler.

That is such a shame, as a lawyer, i am of the view that those journalsts be legally answerable and should be questioned by the judiciary.

Being a journalist is not a cover or ticket to be brutal or violate laws.

Leaving aside the question if such a reaction is legitimate or not, I find it problematic that "Bonaventure Bizumuremyi was reportedly woken up at 3 am on 15 January, by four men banging on the front door of his home in the capital, Kigali. The men, armed with clubs and knives, forcibly entered and ransacked his house" (Amnesty International). Whatever acts an individual commits, it still should be treated with the respect and dignity it deserves, just because it is a human being. There is no need to harrass a person in that way - why not proceed according to proper legal standards and invite the person to court? Why not bring him together with people of other, "accepted" opinions and let them discuss it out, maybe even publicly? If the Rwandan government has nothing to be worried about, why does it react in such an exaggerated way? It reminds me on the saying that "if you throw a stone, it is the hen that gets hit which makes the biggest noise..."
