{Most if not all of Rwandans would not wish to look back into the rear mirror of our past, a past that was a fate we found ourselves in not because of our failures, mistakes, or any other reason that could remotely justify that state, but one that dehumanized us so much so that anyone who would want a people to go back to the same deserves a punishment that is as brutal as the same past or worse.}

I personally have no kind words and I will not play politics here (am not good at that anyway) nor would diplomacy, for doing so discount the enormity of critical national issues at stake and trivialize an otherwise our heinous past and uncertain future ahead of us.

Renegades turned Political Opportunist/’Oppositionist’

When you look at the behavior of the likes of Kayumba Nyamwasa, Gerald Gahima, his brother Dr Rudasingwa, and most of bizarre of them Himbara (Dr) one finds one common strand among others why they had to leave the country.

Extreme accountability failures or lapses

Of course, they are other specific reasons that made these renegades turn into the so called ‘oppositionists’ or rather opportunists as if failure to account is a basic qualification to become an ‘opposionists’ and some people even believe them as such without doing simple check why they are what they are today.

These are the same people that in the yesteryears praised the very system that they now admonish with venom akin diabolic hatred that is only told in biblical literature of fallen ‘angels’. Now, these are characters consulted by people with ‘hidden’ agenda to define Rwanda. This is like asking a priest or pastor to consult a fallen angel, and what he/she would expect from such consultations.

Or perhaps consulting ISIS generals whether Iraqis or Syrians what they think of President Obama or Prime Minister Cameroon, you can only guess what would come out of this consultations.

Yet these equally renegade characters are consulted even by such reputable media houses as BBC and VOA on what Rwanda was in the past, or is today! What would a reasonable mortal expect of these to say…

Conspiracy

Of course some so called experts in outer world will not bother to do a background check on these renegades for their sentiments are aligned to their own malicious schemes that will only remain in their conscious.

The train left the station, and is one way traffic, it will certainly reach the destination no matter the valleys a head, hills to climb, storms to wither etc. The past was worse for as a nation and a people, it can only get better. Rwanda will move on for despite its abnormality past, it is greater than all of us as individuals or a group of misguided individuals no matter their faith coated wishes that will never be realized.

Unique:

Rwanda is perhaps the only country where failure of accountability turns an individual into a bizarre ‘opposionists’/ critic, and most media out there will consult him/her for comments on issues he/she failed to account for or even deliver on, to the extent that, an individual who was a total failure in our system, become an expert in the same/or even assumed area he failed to deliver on.

The Case of Himbara:

Take the example of Himabara who claims everything he has never been and is on air on international media for all sorts (especially BBC and VOA Kinyarwanda versions) of comments on our country Rwanda, which he least understood at least from the point of view of those who worked with him and thus knew him as a total failure that only passed on his failure tag to others to mask his incapacities.

This is a person who credible source say he failed even the basic primary and secondly school phases of education so much do that, when he came up with the title of ‘Dr’, those who studied with him and knew as a below failure, questioned the authenticity of his academic credentials.

Thus for instance, those who studied with him in Gashojwa Primary School , Nakivale refugee camp in Uganda, tell tales of a highly disorganized character that failed not only PLE (Primary Leaving Exams in 1970) but also went on to fail his O-level exams in 1972, becoming perhaps the only Rwanda “to seal a dubious record of having hit all niners ie scoring F9 and failing all six subjects with 72” as Mr Pan Butamire put it in his earlier article on the substance of ‘Dr’ Himbara.

In Uganda education system getting F9 in O-levels is basically a zero mark. Now it is told that, he had to change his name from Murunganwa to Himbara to mask this trail of failure, a failure that questions even the subsequent qualifications he claims to have. Without such basic qualifications in Uganda, one can only go back to the village and look after cows if he can.

Now, this is the latest expert on everything Rwanda, and all international media refer to him to know what is happening in Rwanda which he is most least placed to do. These are no witch hunts but facts on the substance of Mr Himbara who positioned himself to pass judgment on people and institutions he is least qualified to do.
