While making his presentation titled “Flashback on governance: The role of politicians in the destruction and construction of Rwanda”, Habumuremyi said Divisions and hatred sown by the regimes which succeeded one another after the colonial period are as a result of segregation and heinous ideology disseminated by colonialists many of whom being missionaries.

He however said that Rwanda has been blessed with good leadership today and stated that the current leadership promotes unity of Rwandans and puts forward all people’s interest irrespective of their would-be differences.

“The Programmes put in place to cater for Rwandans do not discriminate anyone; they constitute equal opportunities for all Rwandans” he said.
