Rwandans don’t fear anyone, they’re singing and dancing
At each of Kagame’s rallies there were tens of thousands of visibly happy Rwandans, young, old, men and women, able-bodied and disabled, doing very little besides singing, dancing and cheering. PHOTO | URUGWIRO
I was in Kenya this past week, on one of several short visits in the past one year. Just over a year ago, I spent some time upcountry. Something struck me.
The election, which will take place in a matter of days, was still 14 months or so away. However, the country was already in campaign mode. County governors and other elected local officials were busy trying to “fight off” would-be rivals who were already traversing the countryside and priming voters to vote for them when the time came.
