(ThyBlackMan.com) It is that I want to undermine the memories of our Tutsi compatriots who were innocently massacred in cold blood by an unworthy extremist regime in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi,
But people like excommunicated former Catholic Priest Nahimana should not be given more credit than they deserve,
His recent trip has been over publicized ,
On one hand ,
It is because we gave him that chance ,
But again ,
If Nahimana Thomas is really serious about contesting the 2017 Rwandan Presidential elections ;
Why doesn ‘ t he acquire visas for himself and his team from the Rwandan Embassy in France or One – way travelling documents to Rwanda that serve the same purpose ,
Then come to Rwanda where he will answer to the Rwandan people for all his past statements ;
I do not think that anyone in Rwanda is interested in his arrest for Rwanda has forgiven people who had committed worse crimes than he is alleged to have ;
Known ” GENOCIDAIRES ” now live with survivors peacefully and have learnt to co- exist with one another,
Another tenet that proves that “RETRIBUTION” has no place in today’s Rwanda.
In the same vein,
We must not forget that Rwanda has laws and no one is above them,
And as such his prosecution will depend on the legal regime of the country ,
But given that he is still presumed innocent until proven guilty
,
He may use this opportunity to clear his name before the competent authorities for they say ;
“Only a guilt mind fears due-process or the law”.
And even more so in the same endeavour,
Prove his critics ,
” Assuming that he has any ” ,
Wrong .
We shall be waiting for him to hear from the horse’s mouth what ” ISHEMA ” Party is all about .
For we are somewhat lost ,
Does he want to topple the current Rwandan government or
He just wants to exercise his civic right by aspiring to the Rwandan Presidency ?
Interestingly Before I voluntarily repatriated to Rwanda ,
I once wrote a piece criticizing Nahimana and most Rwandans in exile concurred with me ,
He was not to be trusted to lead the Rwandan people for he has betrayed God and the Church ,
What has suddenly changed ?
How has he become a ” HERO ” over an issue that lies on purely immigration procedures expected from any civilized state ?
In conclusion,
The law is never exercised for the purpose of giving effect to the will of the beneficiary.
It is rather exercised for the purpose of giving effect to the will of the law enacted by a legitimate government who act on behalf of the people.
In the case in casu,
Nahimana had and still has the right to return to Rwanda and from the same ” right ” flows a duty that is placed on him to adhere to Rwandan immigration laws reflected in the immigration procedures,
As a Jurist he fully assimilate the aforesaid but chose to play politics for selfish reasons.
His political profile might have improved but Rwandans are not stupid for posterity is likely to judge whatever took place a week ago as part of the endless and baseless “demagoguery” that has been espoused by Rwandan opposition figures in exile for decades but to no avail.
Surely,
How can a Presidential Aspirant return to his country with a TOURIST VISA?
How preposterous is the aforesaid?
