RwandaTel, the Rwanda government owned telecoms company is to be sold again. This time, not to a “virtual” american company, but to LAP Green Network, a Libyan based (or rooted) company.
It’s true that I am not a big fan of selling strategic companies to non-rwandans, but I will congratulate LAP Green Network for this new expansion. I also hope that it will treat Rwandans as brothers and sisters and thus bring them more development and funds.
By the way, I have tried to locate websites that are owned by this company without success. I will continue and possibly post what I find here.
Another serious incident involving a Murokore pastor (EDIT: original link seems dead: try here). Religion has been used to oppress people for so long. Religion has been used to explain why the colonization of Africa was necessary. Religion has been used to advance the beauty of Apartheid. Religion has been used to enslave black africans and force them into a life that still has negative effects until today. And religion is still used to extort poor Africans. When will this end? Maybe not tomorrow, maybe never.
No wonder why there are so many pastors and fighting each other (even though they say or are said to use the same book in their preaching). No wonder why they are born everywhere everyday in the great lakes region. They get too much money.
News from Rwanda and Uganda alone are shocking. One day is a pastor who defiled young students who are to go to school in order to put the holy spirit in her body, another day is a pastor who uses electro-shocks to prove that he is in direct contact with the holy spirit, a new day comes with a pastor who impregnated a girl younger than his own daughters, another day is a pastor from South Africa trying to fool us by proving the innocence of the rapist pastor without even waiting for the trial to conclude … the list is long.
It’s good news Mobile phone companies are scrapping Roaming charges. I even wonder if they had many customers paying roaming fees as most people I have seen had SIM cards for every country they visit. As cars moved to the left when crossing the Gatuna (Katuna in ruganda) border, phones users switched their SIM cards.
I remember that the MTN Uganda SIM card received signal up to around 5 kilometers inside Rwanda (from the Gatuna border) but the MTN Rwanda signal was not strong enough to be used after crossing the border.
Let’s hope other business institutions such as Banks will follow the example set by MTN. And the Internet providers should realize the benefits of interconnection without waiting for EASSY and/or other super-regional initiatives that may end up dying before their birth certificate is signed.
By the way, when will Ugandans start driving on the RIGHT ? (Should I say the right side not the wrong one? )
