À rapprocher de ce que disait The Economist sur le Rwanda de Kagamé : "mieux vaut s'y taire" http://www.economist.com/research/ba...ory_id=2023062 Safer to keep mum Rwanda has a history of authoritarianism. Local officials have long had boundless coercive power over ordinary people, and have been held accountable only upwards, to the central government. Under the RPF, things are more relaxed, but people are still submissive. One group of peasants, interviewed by the side of a road, refused to express any opinions about the government. Then, after a few minutes, two policemen drove up, demanded to know what was going on, and suggested that your correspondent redirect his inquiries to the Bureau of Elections. The RPF dominates all the levers of power: the security services, the bureaucracy, the judiciary, banks, universities and state-owned companies. Its members find it easier than non-members to win government contracts and licences. Those outside the circle often feel bitter. One Hutu said he spent eight years in jail before being found innocent of abetting the genocide. Someone lost his case file, he said, perhaps because “those who came from abroad” wanted his plum government job. He was made to attend a camp de solidarité, which he thought was designed to drum into him the RPF's ideology and view of history. But he did not dare complain. “I've seen men beaten to death in prison,” he said, “I don't want to go back.” Even those who regard Mr Kagame as their protector sometimes find the atmosphere in Rwanda oppressive. “There's no freedom of speech,” complained one RPF-supporting student. But he cheered, along with thousands of others, when Mr Kagame arrived at his victory rally, waving from the top of an armoured car. |
