Famous MINANI passes away


I was sitted in my room in Newyork,

I skyped as usual to talk to my friends and family.
I made a call and talked to my children as they screamed where are you mom and after that I called my friend Kabonero who gave me bad news ever since long time that we have been friends.

the news was that one of my friend, workmate,neighbour and fellow activist have passed away; I didnt buy it at first because I thought what he was talking didnt make sense, I had to switch him off and tried to call other firends that were more reliable on this issue than he was;
I called Shema (shamakokera) unfortunately he didnt pick my phone and then I called one of my best friend Joseph who confirmed to me that what I had heard was real. I couldnt understand it , I was so much downhearted because of many reasons that my friends who know him would clarifiyfy. We as young people, we lost a role model.

Minani Rwema Celestin to those who dont know him was an artist, activist and a socialist; please visit http://allafrica.com/stories/200804010073.html for his biography.




He was part of many activities in the City of Kigali where personally we have been serving together as my boss at the Gasabo National Youth Council and Gasabo District councillor, he had atalent and this made him to be famous ;

I dont want to go beyond here but he was a man of character.

I thank my friends who have been able to support his family through this difficult times.

May his soul rest in Peace.

Free speech becomes a volatile issue when it is highly valued because only then do the limitations placed upon it become controversial. The first thing to note in any sensible discussion of freedom of speech is that it will have to be limited. Every society places some limits on the exercise of speech because speech always takes place within a context of competing values. In this sense, Stanley Fish is correct when he says that there is no such thing as free speech. Free speech is simply a useful term to focus our attention on a particular form of human interaction and the phrase is not meant to suggest that speech should never be interfered with. As Fish puts it, “free speech in short, is not an independent value but a political pr

Will Peace prevail? Will peace prevail when we still have people who do and act the way it is happening all over? Will peace prevail when some people think that other people’s lives mean nothing? Will peace prevail when people don’t value lives? Will peace prevail when killings continue to be the Breakfast, lunch and dinner to some people? Will peace prevail when we still sleep under terror?

Will we ever achieve peace in our world today? Will we ever achieve human rights? Will we ever achieve tolerance in our hearts? Will we ever get rid of thirst and hunger for power?
