[Since 1994, the world witnesses the horrifying Tutsi minority (14%) ethnic domination, the Tutsi minority ethnic rule with an iron hand, tyranny and corruption in Rwanda. The current government has been characterized by the total impunity of RPF criminals, the Tutsi economic monopoly, the Tutsi militaristic domination, and the brutal suppression of the rights of the majority of the Rwandan people (85% are Hutus)and mass arrests of Hutus by the RPF criminal organization =>AS International]
THE DEATH OF RURAL RWANDA AND ITS TEN MILLION INHABITANTS VERSUS THE REGIME’S FALSIFIED STATISTICS
In his 2010 election manifesto, President Kagame pledged to increase funding for the agricultural sector through providing water dams for irrigation, streamlining access to market, reviving cooperative societies, pre-fixing prices for agricultural produce and stabilizing agricultural subsidies. However, at the end of his second seven-year term in the office last year, the economy of Rwanda had worsened considerably. The RPF government failed to concentrate on putting the fundamentals right. Therefore, the economy would not be dominated by services rather than agriculture when more than 83% of Rwandans depend on agriculture and live in rural areas. The regime concentrates on the decoration of Kigali and major cities. This looks like whitewashed tombs because despite the luster you see in Kigali, the people are hungry.
The steady declining contribution of agriculture to national income which has not been matched by the movement of people from agriculture to the other sectors means the people who are involved in this sector, who are the majority, have gotten economically worse off. The RPF government uses a financial forecasting model which is only useful in projecting government revenue trends but can’t stimulate the economy because Kagame dictates upon the national treasury and does not allow alternative policies proposed by the opposition to deal with the country’s problems.
The Kagame regime takes heavy debts from World Bank and other fiscal paradises simply to embezzle the money and fill it in the pockets of government officials. They buy luxury cars, build villas overseas, invest in their own businesses and so on. The regime spends lots of money to pay air tickets, hotel accommodation, pocket money and salaries for its assassins who threaten to kill Rwandan critics abroad.
The high officials of the government (the President, Ministers, Parliamentarians, Governors, Mayors, CEOs, Senior Officers in the army and Police) have the highest salaries on the continent. These leaders do not care about the people but they are motivated by exorbitant cupidity to achieve illicit enrichment. They want to make big fortunes from the public money and the rest is none of their concern.
Investments in agriculture are very insignificant and funded by political rather than productivity objectives. The government has left individual farmers isolated and vulnerable to exploitative middlemen who benefit from the sweat of local farmers by creating politically patronised receiverships known as collectivization warehouses. This means condemning 83% of our population to poverty-related miseries among other human-created calamities.
There is no much production going on in rural Rwanda. The countryside is gradually dying because of volatile policies under the RPF’s fascist rule. Agriculture which remains Rwanda’s backbone despite the superficiality that the country is industrialising has suffered a terrible blow under President Kagame. By prioritising other sectors and neglecting agriculture, the Kagame regime has put the cart before the horse.
For example, EDPRS I (2008-2013) stemmed from Rwanda’s Vision 2020 and was supposed to guide medium term actions that would lead to the achievement of the Vision’s goals. But at the end of this Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy less than 20% of its program had been achieved.
After EDPRS I came EDPRS II (2013-2018). The main goal of the strategy was to alleviate poverty by boosting the farmers’ production in quality and quantity through agricultural modernization, mechanization and agro-processing. This meant to speed up Rwanda’s progress towards becoming a middle-income status country and creating a better quality of life for all Rwandans through sustained average GDP growth of 11.5% and accelerated poverty reduction to less than 30% of the population.
As outlined under EDPRS II and Vision 2020 targets, agricultural sector was expected to play a pivotal role in poverty alleviation efforts. Rwanda aimed to have at least 100.000ha of land irrigated by 2018. Nonetheless, not even 10.000ha are irrigated because the RPF regime is a lot more concerned with furthering its imperialism in the Great Lakes region than promoting the living standards of the nationals.
As it has recently been published, there is 38% of children aged under five whose growth has stunted due to severe malnutrition. When you study the case, the findings show that not only 38% of children were affected by stunting but also children between the age of six and twelve have suffered malnutrition consequences. The supplied cause of the stunting states that the parents don’t know how to prepare a balanced diet for their children.
The officials from the department of local government argue that Rwanda has attained self-sufficiency in food and in virtue of this the cause of stunting cannot result from parents’ lack of skills within the preparation of meals rich in vitamins and proteins. It is in regard to this masquerade that the regime of the RPF is going to receive big bucks of US dollars to fight against stunting in children. Thus, the World Bank, the Power of Nutrition and the Global Financing Facility invest US$ 55 million to reduce chronic malnutrition of children in Rwanda.
While coping with childhood stunting, it is said that parents will receive formation. Yet, the matter is not less knowledge how to cook food rich in healthy ingredients because this crisis is present almost everywhere even in the country’s exemplary nutrition centers:
Stunting actually results from the following causes:
