Editor,More critical thinkers like Ms Janet Karemera would be a huge boost to Rwanda. I share many of her thoughts in this article especially having public funds spent on an event like this and of course the no-less-shameful government support for young girls looks as a tourist attraction. But on RDB, I think Miss Rwanda competitions should not have been put under the Tourism department; Considering Miss Rwanda as a private business, then the RDB business promotion department should have helped since business is business, and morality be a thing for the parents. By the way, a woman’s beauty is a culture-centered attribute and it’s laughable that when choosing a Miss Rwanda, they tend to look at what an average American [should I say western] man would consider beautiful.Emery Fabrice Nzeyimana, Sweden
