Breaking News: Kron 4

No miracles in Rwanda | Josh Kron
An American missionary comes to Rwanda with his entourage and his claims of healingNot a lot of planes land at Rwanda’s central airport. Perched on the top of a hill, Kigali International is a tiny architectural throwback from the 1970s, incongruent with the country’s forward-looking and ambitious plans. Most of the traffic is from nearby outposts such as Bujumbura, Burundi or Uganda; propeller planes and commuter jets. A couple times a week, the late-night gets in from Brussels, Rwanda’s commercial link to Europe.Walking across the runway one bright morning on a recent arrival in Kigali, something was blocking the sun, something out of place; a massive 747 Jumbo Jet. It towered as large as the terminal, with specially painted livery. It belonged to the American televangelist and missionary Ernest Angley.  As well as the jet, Angley owns his own broadcast network, and his crusades and sermons are – he claims – broadcast to nearly 1 billion people from Indonesia to the Caribbean.

Israel in Africa | Josh Kron
In Rwanda, ‘Jewish’ has mysteriously ended up becoming shorthand for ‘Tutsi’Much of the world came to learn of Rwanda in 1994, when the majority Hutu people went on a three-month killing spree against the minority Tutsi.The genocide ended with the victory of the Rwandan Patriotic Front, formed by Tutsi refugees who grew up in Uganda. With the conquest came drastic change. A great many members of the English-speaking diaspora flowed in; mostly from Uganda, but also from Africa, Europe and America. The two words that had seemingly started it all, Hutu and Tutsi, were banned from public use.It is how the country lives now, nearly 16 years later; with a heavy burden upon each individual to suppress at almost any cost the impulse to identify him or herself by ethnicity, or for that matter ” because the two are so tied ” recent history.Other than historical references to the genocide and testimony heard in controversial local Gacaca courts, ethnic labels are unheard of. The government acknowledges that identities still exist, but an overarching nationalism is always played up.So I was surprised when, at the tender age of 22, I arrived in this emerald-green country to find people treating me like a brother. I was greeted with a fist-pound and a touch to the heart by the money changer, who called me a fellow Jew.
