‘Rwanda reigns in the realm of human rights’

this is the headline on page 2 of a recent article in a prominent Kigali english-langauge newspaper.

the analysis goes like this, ‘compared to others in the region, Rwanda is a leader in the protection of human rights of its citizens.’

i’m thinking this, when your neighbours are burundi, DRC and uganda, reigning as the king of human rights in the region is not much of a feat!
