In my first article titled “My First Day in Rwanda”, I did make the point that many people, like me, were prejudiced about Rwanda until they visited. But those prejudices were founded on the massacre in that country 18 years ago. The Rwandan genocide lasted for three months and over 800,000 people were killed. It was a period during which even Rwandese themselves thought God had left Rwanda. For the six days I was in Rwanda, I met seven Ghanaians, and I made one Rwandese friend. One of the Ghanaians was very helpful and I will tell you about him later. But the Rwandese, Jean Pierre Gatsobe was a porter at Mille Collines Hotel (a thousand hills hotel), in synch with the nickname of Rwanda itself, which is called “the land of a thousand hills”. Jean Pierre was more than just an ordinary porter – he was the hotel’s best employee of the month of August, and so his picture was on display on the walls in acknowledgement of that. I understood why; his human relations is excellent; he quickly obliged to tell me everything I wanted to know about Rwanda. Great guy, Jean Pierre! Jean Pierre was four years old when the genocide occurred and he is now 22 years old. He did not understand much then, but he knows and lives in the same community with people who admitted to murdering and brutalizing others. He admitted “we cannot deny that during the genocide - fathers killed their whole families, sons killed fathers and mothers - some killed their own friends and relatives, while others gave up their whole families, friends and relatives to be massacred – some pretended to provide shelter for others and rather ambushed them and called killers to brutalize them – when you look at all that, you can only allude to Leonardo DeCaprio’s statement about Africa and say God left Rwanda during the genocide.” But as a good ambassador, Jean, a Finance Major at the Kigali Independence University, quickly pointed out that “we know that the image of our country in the international community is not the best because of the genocide – but that was 18 years ago, and it is important for people to know that everything was not destroyed in Rwanda – the infrastructure remained and some nice people also survived – people need to visit and find out for themselves.” Jean Pierre was right; I found out many beautiful things about Rwanda for myself because I visited. Yes, we cannot deny the genocide, but I can say now that the Rwanda of today is nothing like the images we saw of it 18 years ago. I was sad when a lady who works for one of the telcos in Rwanda told me that whenever she invited her other colleagues from Africa for meetings in Rwanda, they refused and rather preferred that the meeting be held elsewhere on the continent. Those people are so dead wrong about Rwanda. During my short stay, I picked up a few beautiful little things, which for me were obvious indications that if God indeed left Rwanda 18 years ago, then He has definitely returned. I learnt about their post genocide reconciliation period, annual remembrance celebrations, and the Genocide Memorial Centre in Kigali and Gikongoro, which are symbols of their commitment to walk away from the gruesome past. I also learnt about the very functional systems such as security/policing, public transportation, utility service, regimental discipline everywhere, streets numbering, I-fuel service, road networks, beautification of the city, skyscrapers and many more, which depicted order and progress, which are divine. Yes, there is not a single skyscraper in Ghana yet. But there is one in Rwanda, The KIGALI CITY TOWER, and another building taller than any building in Ghana, but not quite a skyscraper.
