Dying for Regime Change: Fought of the day about Burundi Crisis versus Rwandan Crisis.
Burundi would be in a better position today if hundred thousands of people were killed as the result of regime change. That's what the Americans and the Belgians wanted. Economic development measured by GDP and not by human living improvement would follow and praised by the Western donors. Foreign aid that is now held by Western donors would be immediately provided to Burundi. However, many people would have died and no one in the West would be able to resurrect them. This is what happened to Rwanda. Kagame profoundly regrets this option and this is why he is consistently blaming the West for having failed to stop the Rwandan genocide. He blames everybody, expect himself. Burundi has avoided this scenario. It is better to remain poor than to die for regime change.

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
When the white man came we had the land and they had the bibles; now they have the land and we have the bibles.
