[AfricaRealities] Re: [fondationbanyarwanda] Rwanda opposition sues over exclusion of French language

 

This is just the beginning.  More problems will come soon or later in relation the  current discrimination and apartheid practices sponsored by the British Government and NGOs  against the French speaking Rwandan people on the basis the usage of English language.
 
The high unemployment in Rwanda  which is never discussed by the dictatorial regime of Kagame is the result of Rwanda switching from  French to English. Most  existing jobs  are automatically taken by the minority Tutsi and migrant  Ugandan people ( who speak English)  while the vast majority of Rwandan population( 90% )  remain unemployed or are involved in substance agriculture in a small country that is overpopulated.

Most UK foreign has used to finance Kagame himself, his elite minority tutsi and the constructions of hotels in the Rwandan capital to show the country's superficial development of Rwanda while poverty  is increasing in rural areas. However, this way of development is appreciated by the white people who have been praising Kagame for economic successes. Having good hotels in the capital is what they need for a better sleep before they visit the gorilla mountains without visiting the rural people living in abject poverty.

Rwanda opposition sues over exclusion of French language

9th December 2014, Comments0 comments
A Rwandan opposition party has filed a lawsuit with the central African nation's Supreme Court accusing the government of deliberately sidelining the French language in violation of the constitution.
The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda (DGPR) argued that French should hold equal status to Kinyarwanda and English, and that increased marginalisation of the language was "a hindrance to the national unity and reconciliation process" in Rwanda.
The former Belgian colony has been shifting away from the use of French since the 1994 genocide, after which the Rwandan Patriotic Front of Paul Kagame -- now president -- took power along with his rebels who were trained in English-speaking Uganda.
President Kagame, an English speaker who has steered the country into Commonwealth membership, accuses France of complicity in the genocide because of its support of the Hutu nationalist government that carried out the killings of at least 800,000 people, mainly ethnic Tutsis.
However the DGPR, in a statement released late Monday, said "Article five of the constitution stipulates that Rwanda uses three official languages: Kinyarwanda, French and English."
"Many government institutions such as the National Bank of Rwanda, Rwanda Revenue Authority, National ID Project and many others have opted to either use English alone or with Kinyarwanda, and deliberately left out French," the party said, arguing this isolates a large section of the country's population.
Despite the increasing dominance of English -- which brings Rwanda closer to many east African partners and is seen as an aid to drawing foreign investment -- many Rwandans remain attached to French and are struggling with the change.
