  http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2016/2/26/kagame-hks-visit/ Harvard Abdicates Its Moral Responsibility  By  SACHA YABILI 9 hours ago 0 Harvard is rolling out the red carpet for President Paul Kagame of Rwanda, inviting him to speak this Friday and Saturday at the  Harvard Kennedy School,  the Harvard Business School and the  Harvard Africa Business Conference. Kagame gained respectability for ending the Rwandan 1994 genocide and for bringing stable governance to his previously beleaguered country.

Currently in February 2016,  Rwandans turn on radios to hear in the court of law former comrades-in-arms denying they are related to fellow military officers on trial for reading "wrong books." In the past 6 years, opponents of the regime — real or imagined are exiled, imprisoned, hunted down, and even assassinated both inside and outside the country. This is the time to quote the famous phrase — "the only lesson we learn from history is that we do not learn from history." This madness we are witnessing in Rwan...

"I have been working with and watching the churches of Rwanda for nearly 10 years, and I believe now is the time for them to be a model to the world," Warren sta...

  observer.ug, February 21, 2016 The US State Department has called for the immediate release of Dr Kizza Besigye, the Forum for Democratic Change presidential candidate and restoration of access to social media services in the country.  Besigye who came second in a controversial presidential race has been under house arrest since yesterday with the police calling it a 'preventive measure' to stop him from causing chaos in the city after he rejected the election results that the incumbent, President Museveni won by 60.7%. Besigye is not allowed to leave his home in Kasangati and visitors, lawyers and media have also been denied access to him or the house.
