Article Evaluation: Foreign Relations of Rwanda

Information in the introduction section could be presented in a much more coherent fashion. As it stands, much of the information is presented out of chronological order and is unrelated to the information presented immediately prior and most paragraph breaks are completely arbitrary.

The Rwanda-China section should be expanded. It is inconsistent that the other bilateral relations that are worthy of their own pages still provide overviews while this section is reduced to one line which contains no meaningful information.

As far as tone, the intro section has some negative wording regarding the international community's involvement (or lack thereof) during the Rwandan genocide that could definitely be provided more neutrally.

Citations seem to be in working order and the links provided are to trustworthy neutral sites except from where noted in the United States portion where much of the information comes from the US Government itself, though considering the largely objective nature of what is cited, there is little cause for concern in this segment.

The talk page is almost completely barren and only has one comment, which is advocating for further mention of the UN's lack of involvement. The article is rated C-class and it is a part of several Wikipedia projects where it is rated of high, medium and unknown importance. The discussion is limited enough that I do not feel that I can discuss the portrayal of the topic as opposed to the way African bilateral relations have been discussed in class.

Personal Life

Ngirente is married and is the father of two children.[1]

Career Before Politics

Ngirente was an active participant in economic research during his time at the World Bank, authoring papers on region specific markets and economic challenges with a focus on the agricultural markets of Rwanda.[2]

Political Appointment

Kagame was named as the successor to Anastase Murekezi on 30 August 2017. He became the 11th Prime Minister of Rwanda and the 6th since the Rwandan Genocide.[3] Prior to his appointment, Ngirente was not considered a likely candidate for the position and he was among several non politicians sworn in by Paul Kagame prior to the 2017 Rwandan Presidential Election.[3] Key departments that Ngirente oversees (Justice, Education, Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Infrastructure and the Ministry of the Interior) are all led by Tutsi individuals, which leads critics of the appointment to assert that Ngirente's position as a Hutu in a Tutsi-dominated government leaves him powerless and that the appointment may be a symbolic attempt at reconciliation.[4]

Policies

Ngirente has overseen policy changes which aim to invigorate Rwanda's economy through expanded research grants[7], transportation infrastructure[8] and education[9] among other departments. Campaigns to encourage Rwandans to pay their taxes and preserve the environment have also been started with the intention of creating a more sustainable future both economically and environmentally.[10][11] As part of his duties as a representative of Rwanda, Ngirente has traveled the globe campaigning for increased foreign investment in the nation.[12]
