Migrant Houses in Rwanda - Thread about My Visit 🧵

Overall:
• The houses are nice, especially by African standards
• Rwanda is safe and one of the best African Countries
• There are not that many, only enough for a few hundred migrants
• Since probably not many people will be sent there the developers are trying to sell most of them
The houses are located about 15 minutes outside Kigali city centre. They’re not so far out it takes too long to get into the centre. Kigali though is spread out along a series of hills each of which is its own self-contained neighbourhood or suburb. The development’s ‘hill neighbourhood’ is called Karama. It doesn’t have every modern amenity but you can get them easily if you wantImage
Kigali itself is obviously an African city and so has some of the features that go along with that, but as African cities go it’s arguably close to the best on the continent - which is high praise. It is safe, clean and modern by African standards, not a Third World Shithole city. In terms of ‘safety’ you’re really not going to have a problem here, you can walk around at night as a woman. Pretty much everyone I met spoke English fairly well. I would even say that it would be ‘racist’ to say Rwanda as a country is unsafe, Paul Kagame’s mostly competent pragmatic government has done a very good job given the country’s genocide was just 30 years and given that it is in AfricaImage

Worker at Indian Takeaway restaurant cooks raw chicken in a trolley in an alleyway - another example of bizarre Third World hygiene standards. Weird performative ritual hygiene in situations where hygiene doesn’t matter, apathy and expediency where it does
In the case of unhygienic preparation of traditional slop de la comunidad, it’s hard to say why some people are so unfazed by an obvious lack of standards. It might just be laziness, expediency or cost-cutting measures - but it might also be that they genuinely do not appreciate that they are preparing food in an unhygienic way, they have culturally much lower standards for food preparation - it doesn’t even occur to them rubbing their hands in the food is unclean etc.Image

Another classic Third Worldism, the ‘Shitbin’ - small bins in toilets where you throw ‘used toiletpaper’ because local plumbing is insufficiently advanced for paper. ‘Shitpaper’ isn’t common in the west but you may increasingly see it due to new arrivals who maintain old habits
Image
In most cases people will be able to adjust to actually functioning plumbing but you can probably expect there to be some people who won’t - so don’t be surprised if you see ‘shitpaper’ in public washrooms. As has been covered before, different groups have different standards for cleanliness that sometimes is because of local material limitations but other times is because they’re often quite culturally wedded to it. Some countries ‘clean themselves’ with a toilet hose, which is not quite the same thing as a bidet. Other countries you will get a little bucket of water next to a toilet you scoop up the water from and wash your rear end with. YMMV how clean the water is. In both cases the hands are often used to ‘help out’ in a way that would be unusual elsewhere and which might be a problem if they plan on serving food afterwards. Others still (rural China was bad for this but it happens in many other places too) there are no such amenities, it’s not clear how you’re supposed to clean yourself. You will enter a bathroom and there will be a squat hole and nothing else. Presumably you’re just supposed to bring paper with you everywhere incase of bathroom emergencies - but who knows?Image
More examples - if these kinds of toilets are the only toilets you ever use it becomes very easy to take their weird or even unhygienic features for granted as a feature of all bathrooms. Can create some very strange behaviours if you have no other reference points for ‘normal’

Rwanda is known as ‘The Cleanest Country in Africa’, its streets are completely litter free. One of the ways Kagame ensured this was by introducing mandatory monthly 3hr community service for every citizen called UMUGANDA in which they pick up trash and make other improvements 🧵
Image
Umuganda is a national holiday in Rwanda taking place on the last Saturday of every month for mandatory nationwide community service from 08:00 to 11:00. Participation in Umuganda is required by law; failure to participate can result in a fine. The program was most recently re-established under President Paul Kagame in 2009 and resulted in a notable improvement in the cleanliness of Rwanda. Umuganda roughly means "coming together in common purpose" in KinyarwandaImage
Some version of Umuganda has to differing degrees been a feature of Rwanda since pre-colonial times. In the 1970s, however, the term was synonymous with forced labour. In the run-up to the Rwandan genocide, weekly umuganda meetings were successfully used by Hutu elites to mobilise Hutu civilians for genocide. It became more widely known as a political institution rather than communal exercise. Umuganda tasks may have included "building schools, repairing roads, constructing bridges, digging anti-erosion ditch, and other state projects". Hutus used Umuganda as a means to stoke ethnic division against Tutsis. People who were unable to participate in the day were seen as an enemy of the stateImage

Posts about Indian students stealing from Food Banks by people like @slatzism and I apparently upset some very vindictive Indian Users for being ‘Anti-Indian’. They are so upset they are coordinating in chats like ‘Indian Cyber Defenders’ Telegram for mass reporting and doxxing!
Image
These people really hold grudges even when they know they’re in the wrong! Image
Some highlights from other posts and accounts these Indian Dox Rings are trying to report, including mass reporting an AI image of an Indian shitting so hard that he has launched himself into space - “Our Reportings”

The fetishisation of foreign groups alongside a complete lack of Theory of Mind for or non-surface level knowledge about their countries has been called ‘Provincial Cosmopolitanism’. Cultural and ethnic background have no bearing on behaviour and are only aesthetic differences
Image
‘Bastani Syndrome’ is a variant of this phenomenon
For the Shitlib / Hicklib / Provincial Middle Class set actual knowledge of / interest in foreign cultures normally really only extends to food. This cosmopolitanism about food is a status marker but no distinction is made between food cosmopolitanism and real cosmopolitanism - which would be a more substantive model of a Theory of Mind for a people, knowledge about their culture, history etc. - which are conflated for often self-aggrandising reasons. It’s very rare to find one who can actually tell you anything about say India other than that they eat curry. This attitude also exists alongside a belief that these cultures which you know nothing about are richer or superior to one’s own
