Standing for Rwanda’s ‘hero’ Rose Kabuye

Yesterday, Rwandan’s from all walks of life in their thousands protested in front of the German embassy, against the unfair arrest of the Director of State Protocol, Rose Kabuye, in Germany on Sunday. The message at the German embassy, was that this is not about Kabuye alone, she merely symbolises a country’s heroic struggle, against the odds. The afternoon showers did not stop the vibrating energy of defiance, as the people, challenged the very basis, upon which their liberator had been arrested. Africa’s tragicomedy, contradictions galore; that the one who has suffered the pain, the wounds, the loss, is dragged to answer questions, before a judiciary on the soil of those who stood by in silence, as one of the world’s worst tragedies unfolded.
