It's interesting to learn about the West's inconsistency when it comes to Rwanda, regarding an overarching rhetoric that preaches about policing and spreading liberalism.

It also seems to present a precursor to the Rwanda-UK immigration plan.

Already, this backdrop is helping me to make sense of my recent visit to Rwanda where locals could be more reticent to speak openly and candidly.
