How did Rwanda become a model star in Africa after the Holocaust?

Throughout history, the resistance that restricts the development of a country generally includes internal resistance and external resistance, and the destructive power brought by internal resistance is often much stronger than external resistance. Therefore, if a country wants to develop rapidly, it must first eliminate internal resistance, that is, internal unity, and then do a good job in foreign relations. Rwanda's current President Kagame knows this well. After the massacre that shocked the world broke out in Louvain, Kagame saved Rwanda from the shadow of the massacre.

Faced with the mess left by the Rwandan massacre, Kagame, as a Tutsi victim, did not retaliate against Hutu people, nor did he excessively pursue the mistakes made by ordinary Hutu people in this massacre, but devoted himself to national reconciliation. Remember history, unite our compatriots and rebuild the country? The purpose of the project is to make Tutsi and Hutu in Rwanda turn hatred into strength, seize the reconstruction of the country, and get it in a short time? The safest country in Africa? 、? One of the fastest growing African countries? 、? African paradise? 、? Switzerland in Africa? 、? One of the most striking countries in Africa? Africa's model country against COVID-19? Wait, be a dazzling model star in Africa.

Tutsi and Hutu in Rwanda

There are two main ethnic groups in Rwanda, namely Hutu and Tutsi. Hutus are the aborigines of Rwanda, accounting for about 85% of the total population of Rwanda. They are the largest ethnic group in Rwanda and the main ethnic group in Rwanda. From14th century to15th century, Tutsi from the northeast of Rwanda began to enter Rwanda, became the ruling class of Rwanda through peaceful integration, and began to rule most Hutu people in Rwanda. Today, Tutsi people account for about 14% of Rwanda's total population and are the second largest ethnic group in Rwanda.

With the passage of time and ethnic integration, the external characteristics between the two ethnic groups in Rwanda are not so obvious. They all speak Rwandan and share the same religious beliefs. In fact, there is not much conflict between the two nationalities except the ruling class and the ruled class.

By the end of19th century, with the arrival of European colonists, Rwanda, a quiet African land, began to become restless. 1884165438+10 In Berlin, Germany, Rwanda was forcibly divided into the German Empire, and the history of Rwanda's colonization officially began.

With the defeat of Germany in World War I and World War II, Rwanda was included in Belgium and ruled by Belgian colonists. Belgian colonialists believed that racial division and class division were beneficial to their rule, so in 1935, Belgian colonialists introduced the identity card system in Rwanda, issued identity cards to local people to prove their identity, and marked the ethnic groups of Rwandan residents on the identity cards with ulterior motives, that is, forcibly separated two almost integrated ethnic groups in Rwanda through identity card information, resulting in a gap between the two ethnic groups.

The Rwandan massacre that shocked the world

In the late 1950s, the Hutu revolution against Tutsi broke out in Rwanda, the Tutsi ruling class was overthrown, and countless Tutsi people left their homes and fled to neighboring countries. Kagame, the hero of this paper, was born in a Tutsi aristocratic family and fled to neighboring Uganda with his family. At this time, the contradiction between Tutsi and Hutu began to intensify. After revolutionary struggle, Hutu people turned over and became the main ruling nation in Rwanda. 1In July, 962, the Hutu people established the Republic of Rwanda and broke away from Belgian colonial rule. Later, Tutsi exiled in Uganda also established the Rwandan Patriotic Front in Uganda, with a view to regaining Rwanda's sovereignty through military struggle.

1990 10 6 1 day, the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), led by its leader Rwigamba, invaded the northeast of Rwanda and prepared to recapture the Rwandan regime. As a result, it was defeated by foreign intervention forces such as France and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Rwigamba was killed in the battle. Later, Kagame, the second person of RPF, took over the military power of RPF. At this time in Rwanda, Hutu people's rejection of Tutsi was very serious. 1On April 6, 1994, after the plane of Rwandan President Habyarimana was shot down, most Hutus thought it was Tutsi, and put the blame on Tutsi. At this time, Hutu's hatred of Tutsi reached its extreme.

Subsequently, the Hutu people in Rwanda were encouraged by the extremist forces at the top of the Rwandan government. The genocide lasted for more than two months, and nearly one million Tutsis and Hutus who sympathized with Tutsis were massacred. For Rwanda at that time, one eighth of the country's population was killed in this massacre.

This massacre brought the biggest disaster in Rwanda's history. A large number of young and middle-aged people were killed in the massacre. The number of children under 14 accounts for nearly half of the national population, and the national population structure is seriously unbalanced. The Holocaust has had the most negative impact on Rwanda in history. The evacuation of a large number of foreigners and foreign investors has made this already poor country even poorer. What can be summed up in one sentence? All the bad things that happened in Rwanda at that time? .

Kagame became the president of Rwanda.

From June 65438 to June 0994, the Rwandan Patriotic Front led by Kagame defeated the Rwandan Hutu armed forces, and the Rwandan massacre ended. Subsequently, RPF formed a new government in Rwanda, with Kagame as the vice president of the new government and the highest military commander (defense minister) in Rwanda at that time. In 2000, then President Pasteur? After Bizimungu resigned, Kagame officially took over as President of Rwanda and began to carry out drastic reforms in Rwanda. Kagame also became the most prestigious president in Rwanda's history because of his political achievements. Kagame, who enjoys high prestige, has been re-elected as President of Rwanda for many times since he took office in 2000, and has been re-elected to this day.

The Kagame government has established a unified name for Rwandans, regardless of Tutsi and Hutu.

The Rwandan massacre brought a profound disaster to Rwandan society, and Kagame deeply realized that ethnic differences within the country were one of the main factors of national instability. Therefore, after Kagame came to power, he advocated reconciliation between Tutsi and Hutu, and did not excessively investigate the responsibility of ordinary Hutu murderers except for a few major massacre planners, because there were too many such people in the massacre.

Not pursuing doesn't mean letting go. The Kagame government exerts its traditional strength to make the perpetrators face the complaints of the victims, sincerely repent and apologize, and win the forgiveness of the victims themselves or their families. In this way, Rwanda will not fall into a new cycle of hatred and revenge.

In addition, Kagame also abolished the distinction between Tutsi and Hutu in society, created a unified Rwandan identity to the outside world, and skillfully cancelled his identity card? Nation? Column one. In addition, after Canada came to Taiwan, new regulations were promulgated, that is, in the future, citizens of this country can only write Rwandan when filling out forms, but not ethnic groups such as Hutu and Tutsi, so as to ensure the absolute unity of the country and the nation, which laid the foundation for the national unity of Rwanda. In today's Rwanda, apart from separatist forces in exile, all ethnic groups in the country have basically reconciled, calling themselves Rwandans, and discrimination and struggle among ethnic groups in Rwanda have basically disappeared.

Kagame's iron fist has established absolute unity within the Rwandan government.

Kagame pays special attention to unity within the country. He believes that the unity within the country is the unity within the government first, and the premise of absolute unity within the government is the unity of domestic parties. To achieve the unity of domestic political parties, it is necessary to maintain the dominant position of the ruling party in China, that is, the Rwandan Patriotic Front, to which it belongs, is dominant in Rwanda. Therefore, the Rwandan government has promulgated a series of bills in China. These bills have no mercy on the opposition parties and are extremely demanding. These bills hit the nail on the head of the domestic opposition party and posed a great challenge to the living environment of the opposition party in Rwanda. In the end, these opposition parties either dissolved and disappeared automatically, or cooperated with the Rwandan Patriotic Front. According to relevant reports, many opponents who are extremely opposed to the RPF in Rwanda have even been secretly arrested and executed by the government. Through a series of powerful means, Kagame made the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) a real core political party in Rwanda, thus achieving absolute reunification within the country.

Kagame's high-intensity anti-corruption has shaped the clean image of the Rwandan government.

Kagame believes that the corruption of government officials and civil servants is the biggest enemy of the country's development and may even lead to the country's demise. Therefore, Kagame made great efforts to fight corruption, so as to enhance the government's cleanliness and enhance the image of the government in the hearts of the people. In order to set an example, Kagame started from himself. From beginning to end, none of his immediate family members worked in the government or participated in the operation of large state-owned companies.

In the specific anti-corruption work, Kagame requires state officials, including himself, to declare their property to the supervisory organization every year, and at the same time adopt a zero-tolerance attitude towards corruption, even his former close comrades-in-arms and direct subordinates are no exception. Those who are found to be corrupt will not be employed. Kagame's high-intensity anti-corruption has made Rwanda one of the cleanest countries in Africa, and the country's credibility in the hearts of the people has also been continuously improved.

Kagame promotes market economy, attracts more foreign investment and strengthens cooperation with China.

The Rwandan massacre brought a devastating blow to the already poor Rwandan economy. In the massacre, part of the country's infrastructure was completely destroyed and the economy completely collapsed. After Kagame took office, he immediately started to restore the national economy, promoted market economy and free trade in China, and vigorously developed private economy and efficient agriculture, which achieved remarkable results.

In addition, the Rwandan government has also introduced many preferential policies to attract foreign investment, with the help of foreign capital to maximize the rapid development of Rwanda's economy. It is worth mentioning that Kagame has always been optimistic about China and has a good impression on China, and has deliberately strengthened cooperation with China in various fields. At present, the development momentum of bilateral economic and trade cooperation between China and Luxembourg is gratifying. At present, China has become the top three importers of Rwandan products, and the two sides have also carried out deeper cooperation in the field of e-commerce. Today, Rwanda's economy is developing rapidly, making it one of the fastest growing countries in Africa.

After Kagame came to power, Rwanda increased its investment in education, health and infrastructure construction.

With the rapid development of Rwanda's economy, the country began to get rich, and Kagame began to tilt the state expenditure to education, health and infrastructure construction. In education, Kagame attached great importance to national education and implemented the policy of free education for primary and secondary schools in China. Today, Rwanda's education expenditure accounts for about one-sixth of the total government expenditure, and the literacy rate of young people aged 0-0 to 20 in the country is about 83%. In addition, up to now, there are 29 institutions of higher learning and two research institutes in Rwanda.

In terms of medical care, the Kagame government has also increased its investment in the domestic medical and health field. Today, Rwanda's medical and health expenditure accounts for about one tenth of the total government expenditure, which has greatly improved compared with the previous situation. At present, AIDS and other common infectious diseases in Rwanda have been effectively controlled, and the incidence rate has been controlled within a reasonable range. The life expectancy in China has been greatly improved. This is a very remarkable achievement.

For domestic infrastructure investment, Kagame has never relaxed for a moment since taking office. People who travel to Rwanda now will definitely be first-class in this beautiful, clean and urban infrastructure? Africa, Switzerland? Thumb up, the thumb up by tourists can explain everything.

In the face of the mess after the Rwandan massacre, Kagame sized up the situation, turned the tide, and led the Rwandan people to rise strongly and become a model star in Africa. This is remarkable. Kagame's contribution will always remember the history of Rwanda and be admired by future generations of Rwanda!
