NEW RWANDA From Hell to Heaven

Patricia Bamurangirwa

Description

A small country in the heart of Africa, Rwanda is a country of unity and patriotism. But less than 30 years ago, Rwanda was rocked by terrible genocide. Over a million people perished in cruel and horrible situations. Faced with suggestions that the whole country should be wiped out and divided up amongst neighbouring nations, the Rwanda Patriotic Front began a journey to stop the genocide, reunite the nation and fight for their future. In New Rwanda From Hell to Heaven, Patricia Bamurangirwa recounts this history, examining how Rwanda chose hope over hate and grew from the ashes of genocide to become a global role model. She explores how Rwandans embarked on a journey full of sacrifices and patriotism to build their present and their future.

Preface
This book New Rwanda From Hell To Heaven, is the book which will show readers the truth about Banyarwanda and their Rwanda how and why they managed to build they country in a way some see as mystery.
Rwanda is small country in heart of Africa. Is landlocked country and has no rich resources. Its main resources are its people and their understanding.
Is the country in the hall world which recognises women and give them equality they deserve. Now have 63.8 percent in parliament.
And this is one of tools Rwandans used to rebuild back their country to the top.
Like many African countries, Rwandans society were below poverty for those years. In 1994 Rwandans got shock in the hall world when become first African country which gets genocide at our modern time.
Genocide which was against Tutsi and was the genocide which happened after holocaust. The genocide which were against Jewish in 1945…
Rwandan genocide it killed people and destroyed all which country has as country, only for 100 days more than million victims were killed in shameful, cruel, horrible situations. And left country completely empty.
Thought no one ever will know exactly the number of victims of this horror.
Some were suggested to wipe out Rwanda so that can be dived by neighbouring countries because they saw that they are no way can come back again and stand as country.
But R. P. F. Rwanda Patriotic Front, “Inkotanyi” whom managed to stop that genocide can’t let that happen. They believes for themselves that together with other Rwandans people they will rebuild it back.
They knew that they have to chose hope over hate. And chose to fight for their present and their future over fear.
And now after only more than two decades is known as role model country in neighbouring country and beyond. Is cleanest country with its clean capital in Africa and also more cleaner than some cities in the Western countries. Is becoming teacher in many areas of life around the world.
Read and see what mystery Banyarwanda used to rebuild Rwanda.
It says to be one of the fastest growing economies in central Africa.
Read and see about God in the Bible. Culture. Religions in Africa how and why was teachings and cheating. “Read and think”.
Read New Rwanda From Hell To Heaven and see why and how its time now Western to rely on Africa for advices after African people to realize that Western people ‘s democracy is losing meaning. That their democracy mean “demoralizing and denigrate”.
New Rwanda most of what they are doing to rebuild their country, in that journey full of sacrifices and patriotism they are using their history to build their present and their future. That is why I put few photos of some parts of Rwandans ‘histories in this book.
After eleven years outside of my original country Rwanda in Africa, I went there to see for myself, if what I was always told and had read was true. What I wanted to see most were the improvements in Rwanda, as told to me by the people who are there and those who go as visitors.
Being born there, I am a proper Rwandan, and know that Rwanda is in my blood but have never had a chance to live there for a long time, in fact, since early 1961 when I was out of my country until after victory of R.P.F Rwandan Patriotic Front (Inkotanyi) 1994 that is when I stated to visit my country Rwanda.. I have visited though, the last time in November 2004. I am always happy and feel proud wherever I hear anyone talk about Rwanda in good way, especially when that person spoke in a genuine way, when they are talking of any kind of the braveness of Rwandans and how hard working they are.
I found the comparison between the 2004’ and when I went back in 2015 were on another level but it inspired me to use a talent I had as a writer to start to document my experiences and how I found the country of my birth.
Now, I am the author of four books. The last one Africanism comes out 2017 after my journey back home. That was after I meet a group of writers based in Birmingham in the UK, in 2006, ‘Writers Without Borders’. This is a small but strong group of writers, giving me the opportunity to share my writing and my books with others who spend a long time creating their own work and help to improve my skills as well.
After joining Writers Without Borders, and as I liked anything concerning writing, my hope was to find a better way to publish my books. Later maybe write more so that being in Europe and now because I was with a society who take reading and writing seriously, I will be able to get my messages to reach further and to a wider audience as I had hoped for such a long time.
The through of publishing books was daunting and like many people I didn’t know where to start. Being part of the writers group for more than seven years has been a pleasure and has certainly given me the confidence and help to make this dream come true and I thank them for all their help and support to become a better writer.
I started to write poems one by one, just learning from them how I can put my views out and my understanding of things and, once I was happy with the quality of my writing I put them in one of my books, ‘PATRIOTISM’. Before I had got the book in print, whilst going here and there meeting new people one day, and building a social circle. I meet a British lady Trisha. She was helping refugees and asylum seekers at the time. Despite my being shy to share my writing with others, the writing group had encouraged me to be brave enough to show Trisha some of the poems, just single pages at this point but she seemed to like the work. I know that everyone of us likes to have some positive feedback about our work and this I found when visiting her, which was an additional encouragement to press forward.
I will never forget the day I took the poems to her. At first she quickly scanned through the titles but not reading the work, then she sat down as started to study them in detail. In the silence it was difficult to judge her reaction.
After she had read some more she looked as if she liked them, and maybe she was surprised too. I had noticed that while she was reading, she was flicking her eyes up and down, and sometimes shaking her head, or a twist of her lips here and there, and sometimes she was holding her chin as that sign of surprise. I liked all of these gestures, but I was still waiting to hear her tell me what she had in her mind concerning the work. She was so engrossed in her reading, I kept quit to give her all the time she need, then she looked up for few seconds, without a word. I was sitting on the chair opposite her holding my breath but then she called me by name, and said something but as if she was talking by herself:
“Look Bamurangirwa, you can do it.”
She looked very serious but I didn’t understand what she meant. I can do what? I had to ask her. To write, or to do what, Trisha? I had to wait, she looked as if she had a lot to say so I gave her time in silence. She put down the papers. She looked rather serious:
“You know what, if you can write these poems, then you can do it.”
She was very relaxed but I was still no wiser as to what she meant about my work; I had to ask again because I was keen to know what it was she thought I could do. Although I hadn’t known her for long, was I expecting to much from her opinion or should I have even bothered her with my work in the first place? She interrupted my thoughts by repeating the same thing:
“Bamurangirwa,
