Journal Article
Reconciliation and Development in Kagame's Rwanda
2014
Overview
In an interview, Stephen Kinzer, US author, journalist and academic, talked about Rwanda. He said that Rwanda's story is quite remarkable. In 1994, Rwanda and Somalia were probably the two most ruined countries in the world. There was every reason to believe they would have the same fate going forward; they had been decimated by conflict, there was a great leadership vacuum, all institutions had fallen apart. Rwanda is the only country in the world about which development experts and human rights specialists have such different opinions. Now, the threats that Rwanda faces, principally because the former genocide army is now poised right on their border in eastern Congo, certainly has been a factor in leading Pres Paul Kagame to be especially vigilant about dissent and debate within Rwanda. Success can be measured in preventing conflict, or open hostility and violence. But it's much more difficult to measure changes inside the human soul. Essentially, the Rwandan government has decreed that there shouldn't be any more talk about ethnicity.
