WHAT IS IT THAT YOU ARE SAYING ABOUT DR CONGO? THE GENOCIDE OF TUTSIS TOOK PLACE IN RWANDA NOT IN DR CONGO. BISENGIMANA AND MANY TUTIS FOUND SHELTER IN DR CONGO, AND WERE ENJOYING THE GOOD LIFE. TUTSIS IN DR CONGO WERE BETTER OFF THAN MANY IN UGANDA, KENYA OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY. THEY WERE INTEGRATED, BRIGHT AND HARD WORKING. WE CONGOLESE HAVE EDUCATED AND CARRED FOR A LOT OF YOU. YOU SHOULD HAVE SAT PAUL KAGAME DOWN AND EXPLAINED THO HIM THAT RWANDANS WERE WELL LOOKED AFTER IN (ZAIRE). YOUR LEADERSHIP DECIDED TO COME UP WITH THIS SILLY NOTION OF THE VOLCAN REPUBLIC WITH GOMA AS ITS CAPITOL. THIS VERY NOTION TODAY MEANS THE END OF PAUL KAGAME'S ERA END THE END OF TUTSI MONOPOLY OF POWER IN RWANDA. THE NEXT TIME THE HUTUS ARE GOING TO SET YOU ON YOUR TOES FLYING FOR YOUR LIVES. I DON'T THINK TANZANIA AND DR CONGO WILL BE THE IDEAL DESTINATION.MY GENERATION WILL SIMPLY NOT ALLOW THAT KIND OF BLIND GENEROSITY.
The kind of Hatred comments by Pan Bakumire, is the kind of extrimism sentiments that makes reaching a solution for peace impossible, Paul Kagame is not right in his aproach to the problems facing Rwanda especially by fighting their wars in DRC, but Tanzania helping in the peace mission does not mean support for your Hutu extrimist ideas because if that is the case you are worse of than M23, mind you once the M23 are finished you will be next. Rwanda is for all Rwandans, Tutsis who think it belongs to them only or Hutus who think it belongs to them are all wrong and all should be dealt with before they export this mentality to other countries as we see DRC now. Nobody is going to chase anybody away, this is our Africa and we all should fit in. By disagreeing with our neighbors it does not mean we hate them,Once the peace mission finishes with the Tutsi extrimist(m23) the Hutu extrimist will follow(fnld. Why dont you get it there is no room for extrimism in Tanzania, any of that is an enemy to Tanzanians. we are all made equal and we see all as equals, we dont choose any side of extrimism.
