Protests Against Paul Kagame in Toronto, Canada in 2006

In 2018 - 2019, the Rwandan government and NBA agreed on launching  the Basketball Africa League (BAL) in Rwanda. The project was launched after Rwandan government built a $104 million stadium in one of the poorest countries in the World. The NBA-Rwanda Government  project has been criticized by several leaders around the World given the  well documented grave human rights abuses in Rwanda, under the bloody regime led by the Rwandan Dictator  Paul Kagame, including  widespread assassinations and disappearances of political opponents, journalists, and activists, enrollment of child soldiers, invasion of neighboring countries to loot mineral and natural resources, while massacring innocent civilians. 

Protests in Nairobi, Kenya on June 25, 2024

Kenya has been experiencing popular protests. The protests are from people, especially the youth and young adults tired of the economic hardship and financial woes, blamed on longterm widespread corruption  and the lack of accountability and transparency within the Kenyan government. Over the last days, the protests have become violent with protestors setting ablaze the city hall,  the governor's office,  and the country's parliament in the capital Nairobi and the police shooting dead many protesters. The protests are getting the support of political activists and opposition leaders across Africa and the World, while William Ruto is being labelled the next incompetent African dictator.  

Rwandan Dictator Paul Kagame vs Rwandan Activist Yvonne Idamange Iryamugwiza, Feb 2021

Over a long period, a pattern of repression, crimes, assassinations and kidnappings have marked the Rwandan regime under the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) since 1994, ruled by the Rwandan dictator Paul Kagame. Despite well documented proofs, these crimes and repressions  appeared to be overlooked by the international community, influential media, and other main organizations. Even Western Democracies have seemed to overlook these crimes and bloody repression and continued to support and  welcome Paul Kagame and other RPF leaders.  In May 2024, the nonprofit organization Forbidden Stories, under the Rwanda Classified project, published results of  cover investigations on the crimes and repression committed by the Rwandan regime. The findings show horrific actions, leading to questions on what is next for the Rwandan regime and its leaders.
