As of March 14, 2018, Kagame has closed 1,489 churches. Of these, 714 were located in the capital city, Kigali — these were the initial causality. And now, 775 churches were shut in Northern Province.
In the Northern Province that is mountainous, with a history of praying outdoors, Kagame has declared this practice illegal. As the New Times explains:
”Besides closing down churches which failed to meet minimum standards, the Northern Province has imposed a ban on irregular places of worship like mountains where people pray and may expose their lives to danger.”
How and when will this madness end?
