To the dead we owe justice, not propaganda. The victims of the 1994 massacres in Rwanda deserve justice.

All the armed groups in Rwanda, including Kagame's RPA/F, butchered people in what Kagame's partners-in-crime and propagandists now force down the throat as Tutsi genocide.

The 1994 Rwandan massacres official narrative is a pack of lies that the world should redress with an objective international inquiry. The RPF Tutsi genocide narrative is pretty much the proverbial tale of the hunter!!!

The shameful stage-managed Arusha ICTR trials were " victor's justice". Like Galileo stood for the principle he knew to be true, I stand for what I know to be true; RPF/A/Kagame's then rebels, like other armed groups that existed in Rwanda, perpetrated the 1994 massacres.

The current Tutsi genocide hoax was constructed and " promoted" to cover up Kagame and his then rebels' horrific crimes. I hope and pray that, like time vindicated Galileo, I SHALL be vindicated when political interests change and there is an objective /neutral group to investigate what really happened in Rwanda that time. In the meantime, I SHALL never buy into the 1994 genocide propaganda.

Unknown to most, Kigali is a dirty city. It is smartly dressed but with dirty underwear.

How "Modern" and "Clean" is our Capital Kigali?

Good news! The National Institute of Statistics, Rwanda (NISR), has issued its Thematic Report on "Characteristics of Household and Housing," January 2014.

For statistics-crazy people like yours truly, its time to quench our thirst with "new" knowledge.

To put the new data to use, I briefly probe two aspects of Kigali Capital, namely, how "modern" and how "clean" it really is.

How "Modern" and "Clean" is our Capital Kigali?

HOW DOES ONE MEASURE THESE?

As is evident on the attached picture, Kigali is visually impressive. But the least effective way of assessing cities is surface appearance as in buildings on the main road.

There are more effective ways of measuring "modernity" and "cleanliness" of world capital cities.

I am inclined to look at two most fundamentals in life to get an insight into cleanliness of a major urban habitat: how most city residents 1) prepare their meals and 2) and the mode of toilet infrastructure via which they release themselves.

Can you thing of anything more fundamental than that? I sure can't. Luckily the NISR provides us with data to answer both questions.

HOW MEALS ARE PREPARED IN RWANDA & IN KIGALI

According to NISR, about 95% of Rwandan households (2.4 million) use either firewood or charcoal for cooking. More urban-based households (63%) than their rural counterparts use charcoal.

Of urban population only 5% of Rwandan households use electricity to cook. This use is primarily a Kigali phenomenon.

TOILET INFRASTRUCTURE IN RWANDA & IN KIGALI

According to NISR, only 1% Rwandan households use flush toilets - meaning that 99% use pit latrines.

That is a lot of latrines in Rwanda. Nearly 2.4 million latrines.

Of urban households including Kigali, 5% use flush toilets - meaning that 95% use pit latrines.

NISR, furthermore, informs us that in urban Rwanda "households often use shared toilet facilities due to lack of space or due to limited financial resources."

It comes as no surprise that there is no sewage system in Kigali City, a habitat of 1 million.

CONCLUSION?

Unknown to most, Kigali is a dirty city. It is smartly dressed but with dirty underwear.

What Has Happened To This Once Powerful & Fearsome Threesome?

President Paul Kagame recently dumped Health minister Agnes Binangwaho. Beginning as a family doctor for the Kagame family for years, Binagwaho rose to become one of the most powerful and feared figures in Rwanda as health minister.

Not only was Binangwaho a confidante of Kagame's, she was very close to Mrs Kagame whose NGO is active in health sector. Binangwaho was also a darling to donors who over the years poured billions of dollars into Rwanda's health sector.

So what has happened? Why do think Kagame dumped Binangwaho? I have my own theory, but before sharing it, I wish to hear from others who might have richer insights.
