Rwanda lawmakers approve swahili as the official Language of the country, dropping french completely and sidelining english

People said: "This is good,really good but such a move leavez the Belgian (the former coloniser) and French authorities furious. I will not be surprised if a few months from France imposes sanctions on Rwanda or increases its funding to opposition parties or releases a report on Kagame's government poor service delivery and human rights violations.

Rwanda is setting an example for the rest of the African countries. Its about time we drop the colonial legacy and go back to our roots. After all there is no European with an African name or African language as their official language.....Good job Rwanda, wake the rest of the sleeping countries up.

This is great development, if Rwanda still hold on that colonial tight with France, they would not have gone this far, France is evil blood suckered, they keep developing and building their country, But most Country they colonize are living in objective poverty, they dominated their entire existence. The African Union should rise and liberate the African from France and western imperialism.
 
Hiyo ni Upuss. The combination of English & French gave Rwandese an edge over the other eastafricans. Swahili is not dynamic and not applicable in its sanifu form as the supposed Swahili councils are there to safeguard it in its pure form and ward off any meaningful changes that would make it a versatile business and learning medium.

Swahili may be an indigenous african language but to truly preserve our heritage it is our vernacular languages that we should do everything possible to ensure we pass on to the next generation,it makes no sense to champion competence in speaking and writing swahili when you cannot hack your own people's language.

It is a good move, in the future swahili should be East Africa's official language.
 
I understand why no african country would like to be associated with the french.. However, English is the most common language, easy for most to understand etc. Imagine being taught chemistry or biology is kiswahili?
