Let’s discard neo-colonial mentality that nothing can be done by Africans

It seems as if right is wrong and wrong is right if one is to go by a recent editorial opinion by The Economist regarding life in Rwanda today. In a long slanted opinion, skewed reporting and analysis to make an indecipherable mix, The Economist writes in glowing terms about Rwanda’s socio-economic achievements under President Paul Kagame and then proceeds to conclude that the citizens are unhappy.

This conclusion is not supported by facts so glaringly presented in the same story. It would appear as if Rwanda’s sins are exactly what many countries lauded as democratic and free, would wish for.
