This is the most "pro-China" country in Africa.
At the parade, their soldiers shouted in Brushed Mandarin, because these people, all taught by Chinese instructors, walked into a street and you could see trash cans marked with Chinese, roads built with Chinese aid, buildings, and even locals who Chinese.
This country, known as the "Star of Africa", Rwanda, 28 years ago, was mired in a civil war, fighting between the two races, resulting in the death of nearly 1 million people and the pile of corpses on the streets.
But now, it has been voted the safest country in Africa, health, security index, in the world's top, CGP annual average perennial account for the first place in Africa, why Rwanda has developed so well? The answer is simple, because its strategy is to "copy China's homework."
The first copy is to copy China's combat experience, during the Rwandan civil war, armed forces composed of Hutu ethnic groups, the rule of terror against Rwanda, the oppressed Tutsi people, spontaneously formed the "Patriotic Front" game team, in the mountains and wild forests to fight.
This guerrilla group has several characteristics, that is, it does not take a needle and a thread from the masses, returns the seized materials to the masses, and borrows people and things, and returns them in person.
Sounds familiar, right?
Since many Tutsis people had already been slaughtered during the battle, and the guerrilla forces were weak, they began to uphold the 8-character combat policy, with the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy stationed in us to disturb, the enemy to fight when tired, and the enemy to retreat and pursue.
Yes, this is exactly the method of sports warfare used by the Chinese Eighth Route Army.
It turned out that Paul Kagame, the leader of the "Love Front Guerrillas", had studied the history of China's War of Resistance, and it is said that he had read the military works of Mao Zedong and Chegrava, and it was on these characteristics that his guerrillas extensively absorbed the living forces and eventually won the war, and later, Paul Kagame also served as Rwanda's first multi-party election president.
The second copy is to copy China's land reform, Rwanda, which had a humiliating history of being colonized by Belgium, when the colonizers began to treat rwanda's 2 ethnic groups differently in order to consolidate their rule, in order to stir up contradictions, the Tutsis, have the privilege of administering part of the land, receiving education and so on.
The Hutu people, however, can only work for the landlords, the times are slaves, which is one of the reasons for the Rwandan civil war, and at the behest of the colonists, the Tutsi landlords can only grow cotton, flax, and other cash crops, and Rwanda's grain ratio in 1935 accounted for only 6% of the country's total crops, and it was impossible to feed a huge population.
During that time, Rwanda was starving, many people were on the road of crime because they did not have enough to eat, and after the Kagame government came to power, it followed China's example in all directions and implemented land reform, so that every family could get their own land, farmers could grow whatever they wanted, and they could freely trade in grain, which is what we often call "the tiller has his land".
Nineteen years later, Rwanda's agricultural production has exploded by more than 10 times, not only becoming self-sufficient in food, but also exporting large quantities of cocoa beans and high-grains each year.
The third copy is to copy China's "war criminal reform", after the Rwandan civil war, Rwanda is facing the problem of trying war criminals, but there are too many Hutus who can participate in the massacre, at that time, Rwanda's legal system is not perfect, and if you want to use traditional procedures to try these cases, I am afraid that it will not be completed by 2022.
So Kagame learned a trick from China, that is, to mobilize the power of the masses, and the misdemeanor criminals who had participated in the massacre were sent to nearly 10,000 traditional "Gaikaca courts" across the country, and the villagers tried them.
Here, the criminal must face the victim's family, confess his crime, if there is concealment, the villagers can report and expose, and the core of the grass court is "confession, reconciliation", after the criminal and the victim's family are reconciled, they can return to society again and participate in construction, which is similar to the ideological work we did when we received the national army uprising in the early days.
In the days that followed, Rwanda went further and further down the path of learning from the Chinese model, and in 2013 China greatly increased its efforts to combat corruption under the slogan: Tigers and flies fight together. Rwanda proposed in 2014 that "zero corruption" be carried through to the end.
In 2014 alone, under the high-pressure crackdown by Rwandan law enforcement agencies, 300 moths suspected of embezzlement were pulled out, involving an amount of up to 3 billion Rwandan francs (about 26 million yuan).
During this period, Kagame formed a good cooperative relationship with China, and China's road and bridge companies built more than 1,000 kilometers of roads in Rwanda, accounting for 70% of the country, providing more than 6,000 jobs for locals.
In order to thank the Help of Chinese enterprises, Kagame began to show a lot of international solidarity with China, and for a while, the Taiwan independence forces tried to establish ties with Rwanda, but Kagame strictly refused because he was a staunch supporter of the one-China principle.
Today's Rwanda, the total GDP ranks first in Africa for many years, a number of African countries known as the "back garden of Europe and the United States", pressed to the ground and rubbed here, let us sincerely wish that this small African country can develop better and better.
