Editor, Many people in Rwanda previously lived under that the tyranny of gendarmerie. That’s a ‘police’ force that killed with impunity. That’s why I’m so grateful that we now have Rwanda National Police, a force that works closely with the people to ensure peace and security. Mirindi, Rwanda ************** Historians should chronicle the major events of life under the previous regime to show the young Rwandans how far we have come as a nation. That way they will learn that it is the resilience of the Rwandan people that has enabled us rise above all sorts of adversities.
