We all know that during President Paul Kagame ’s childhood, he sold eggs on the streets of #Kampala to survive. Back then, no one beat him or harassed him for 'creating disorder' in the city. Recently, City of Kigali spokesperson Emma Claudine defended the brutal violence against mothers selling fruits and vegetables on the roadside. Her logic❓If the vendors didn't exist, the violence wouldn't be necessary. She claims that for the city to "look good," the government must make "tough decisions",a polite euphemism for harassing, fining, and beating women who are simply trying to feed their children. This is the sickness of modern FPR-Inkotanyi policy: The commodification of a "clean" image at the expense of human life. #Kigali is being groomed for the international stage,for tourists, investors, and high-level conferences,to look like a poverty free utopia. But this "order" is a lie. It is an image built on the backs of the vulnerable, achieved by hiding, abusing, and criminalizing the very people who represent #Rwanda’s hardworking core. To label small scale trade as "filth" or "disorder" is a profound insult. It is a betrayal of the President’s own roots and a total abandonment of empathy. A city that shines on the outside while bruising its citizens on the inside is not a "#modelcity", it is a hollow shell. It is time to stop prioritizing the "view" over the "viewer." Respect honest work. Stop the war on the poor. #MillenZMovementRw
