In Rwanda, journalist Oswald Mutuyeyezu drew criticism from Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe after posting comments on social media that supported controversial remarks made by businessman Sadate Munyakazi about Rwandan neighbors Burundi and Congo. The foreign minister publicly demanded the deletion of Mutuyeyezu's post, citing potential diplomatic repercussions. Though Mutuyeyezu deleted his comment, he claimed it was due to personal reflection rather than pressure from Nduhungirehe. This incident has sparked debate over freedom of speech in Rwanda, with human rights groups previously accusing the government of intolerance towards free expression.
