It is extremely concerning (to say the least) that Paul Kagame's government in Rwanda is sending people to stadiums for coronavirus detention considering that his army literally massacred people in stadiums before dumping them in mass graves & burning the corpses. https://twitter.com/EbravoteleSUR/status/1292526381482508294

ENORMOUS TRIGGER WARNING for this description of the Byumba stadium massacre of Hutus. i just think many ppl aren't aware this happened & that Kagame (current president) & the Rwandan Patriotic Front are responsible, because they systematically covered it up & blamed the victims.

2nd part of the description. Paul Kagame & the RPF instigated the Rwandan genocide by assassinating the president & using infiltrators to incite Hutus into reprisal killings of Tutsis. then his army moved in, slaughtered ALL KINDS of Rwandans, & blamed the victims in the media.

i understand many ppl don't know this because 1) Kagame lied to the whole world about it & has been hunting down & killing people speaking out about the lies for decades, 2) the "ethnic violence" trope (read:"black-on-black violence") dominates films, books, etc abt the genocide.

but there have been in recent years more & more people speaking out about the genocide, both victims/refugees & defectors from Kagame/the RPF who spoke about what they carried out, as well as exposures of the role of the u.n., canada, belgium, etc in enforcing the coverup

here's another report on this, the stadium thing is particularly sick & twisted in Rwanda but all over east africa neocolonial governments have generally been punishing the poorest people for breaking curfews & restrictions while letting them starve https://www.deccanchronicle.com/world/africa/070820/rwandans-sent-to-all-night-lectures-as-punishment-for-breaking-covid-r.html

“Jado son Nizeyimana said he was stopped by police for wearing his mask incorrectly and was told to report to the nearest stadium.”

how about just…help a nigga wear a mask correctly??

Elly Niganze: "I was arrested twice, and spent the night at the stadium on both occasions. Both times I was caught after curfew. The alternative was to pay a heavy fine, but I don't have any money. I am looking for a job"

“Journalists and bloggers deemed critical of Rwanda's effort to tackle the pandemic have faced lengthy detention periods and serious charges including rebelling against the state, an offence which carries a one-year jail term.” Kagame was doing stuff like this before the pandemic
