  • 9 Things To Do In Kigali, Rwanda + vlog | Visit Rwanda Now!
    Back with another travel video! After visiting the land of a thousand hills, Kigali, Rwanda for a second time, I wanted to share some places I’ve been and recommend that you go to, too! Would you visit Kigali? Did I miss any must-go locations in Kigali?
    Kigali is still very underrated and hasn’t blown up to be the tourism capital of Africa that I know it will one day be! Let me know if you visit any of these of these locations.

    They have photography fee things at some parks in the USA as well. Mainly national parks, state and community parks will have them sometimes. It makes sense to me, it helps pay the people who maintain the grounds.

    The genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda was rooted in jealousy and anger of colonizers(belgians)who wanted to stay in Rwanda same way they did in south Africa but Tutsi kings wouldn't let them stay ,they had diplomatically fighted the colonizers since the colonization began which was why Tutsi kings remained in power and colonizers would pass through the kings to communicate what they wanted Rwandan people to do and anything the king suspected may lead to oppression of the people he would abolish it which would irritate the colonizers and they ended up killing that king cus he was protecting Rwandans and also because he refused to believe in christianity as he had seen it as a way to brainwash people and make them reject their ancestors'identity.
    he told them he will forever follow his ancestors'way and they believed in one might creator of all they called Imana which is the name they still use to this day and they knew the same story of who the colonizers named jesus but under a Rwandan name so the king had seen they didn't bring anything new he didn't know of except foreign names like jesus so he told them he would never reject his ancestors'belief cus it's the truth and they killed him.
    His son succeeded him on the throne and realized he could play the colonizers and pretend to accept christianity so he could eventually find a way to diplomatically kick them out of Rwanda before they kill him which they fell for at first after seeing him getting baptized in christianity ,they thought they would use him for their benefits but he was not different from his father,him too would protect Rwandans and eventually he publicly started demanding colonizers to leave Rwanda as the country is for Rwandans not belgians that's what he told them and they killed him when he was in the process of going to UN to demand that colonizers have to leave Rwanda asap, a few years before the death of that Tutsi king, the colonizers had started to train some hutu men who agreed to submit to colonizers'benefits and advocate for them to stay in Rwanda while Tutsi were focused on kicking colonizers out so after colonizers killed the second king while he was in transit they put hutu in power with a plan to exterminate Tutsi which they started in 1959 ,the colonizers were killing Tutsi royal officials while hutu were killing the Tutsi civilians.
    it became a norm since then each hutu president along with hutu civilians they would kill Tutsi till 1994 when hutu and their french and belgian supporters had realized that very soon a Tutsi army that was formed in exile would defeat them thus ruining their plan to exterminate Tutsi little by little as they had planned that's whey they decided to plan a final exterminition they titled Tutsi apocalypse in 1994 and it lasted 100 days before they got defeated and stopped by that Tutsi army. The genocide had claimed the lives of atleast 1 million of Tutsi and atmost 20 hutu individuals who were against the genocide against Tutsi.
    So it has nothing to do with telling someone is better that the other cus that can never lead to genocide ,moreover if u know u are better you wouldn't need a foreigner to come tell you you are better,so this is just a lie written by colonizers to try to hide their main big hands in this genocide against Tutsi ,it actually was like what happened to black americans that's the same way colonizers taught hutu to pull on Tutsi, even going to school was a problem,hutu students would stab Tutsi students to death and killing Tutsi was not a crime ,teachers would make students stand up and say their tribes and Tutsi would get kicked out of school just for being Tutsi which made them start their own Tutsi schools but when they wrote national exams their high grades would be given to hutu,if a tutsi got 90% it would be given to hutu and that Tutsi would be given 20% , a few would manage to go study in the neigbor countries but still it wasn't easy for them to cross the borders and there was even times they had to apply for travel documents when travelling from one district to another inside the country as the hutu governement wanted them to get stuck in one place so it would be easier for hutu to find them when the killings started.

    God loves you so much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent
