In the past few weeks America's Bill Clinton and Britain's Tony Blair, among others, have been singing his praises. The American and British governments, Rwanda's two biggest aid donors, both extol Mr Kagame's performance on economic development. But while Mr Kagame's economic achievements continue to impress, his human-rights record is getting grubbier, both at home and abroad. He is intolerant of opposition. A recent UN report has accused his government of stoking a rebellion in eastern Congo, across Rwanda's border, that has led to the displacement of 300,000 people . Should donors go on pampering him, and Western governments persist in turning a blind eye to these nastier tendencies? Or should they try to persuade him to mend his ways by reducing that aid, thereby risking the possibility that some of Rwanda's poorest people will lose out? Rwanda is not the only place where aid donors face this dilemma. Different cases need different answers, depending largely on how grave the abuses are. In Rwanda's case, they are too serious to be ignored. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
