Anything Rwanda tends to suscitate a lot of emotions, both for and against. On the home front is what one can call a crack unit that has vowed to bring the new Rwanda to the world, to dispel every piece of wrong narrative peddled on the net, mainstream media and academia.
They are always up in arms against an equally determined group who get infuriated by anything positive that comes out of the country, they will rant and seethe with frustration because what they hope to see is a failed state or poor performance economically, socially or politically.
They will rush to distort all government policies such as the recent relocations of people living in high-risk zones, but conveniently fail to mention when they are installed in modern homes. Imagination carries away some of them who create briefcase opposition groups that declare war yet their frontline is the internet.
Many are so filled with blind rage and hate which pours out when anything is mentioned about Rwanda, mostly its performance on the world stage. What drives them to the edge is that Rwanda works. And that hurts.
That is why it registered $2.4 billion in investments last year, most of them Foreign Direct Investments. That would not be possible in the absence of a conducive investment climate, otherwise, how else would deals such as the ones with Qatar have been possible?
How could the country have registered a double-digit figure in GDP growth? Because it knows where it wants to go and how to get there. So, all those online anti-Rwanda virtual warriors should just chill. To borrow Tanzanian President Magufuli’s slogan: "Hapa kazi tu”.
