And here we are again, students of AUCA...people may think that I like doing this, FYI I don't .I should be studying right now as I have exams tomorrow. But I can't, why? I have to pay more than 40,000 rwf of fines, my crime? I didn't prayers.
By now some of you are like , whaaaat?
Or others are like"the only place where they fine you for such things is Iran, or on ISIS territories"
Oh no, we are in Rwanda.
Don't get me wrong tho, in Rwanda you are free to practice , or not , any religion.
But the Adventist University of Central Africa has other rules, you skip what they call week of prayer, which is 8 days and you pay 2000/day missed.
That's 16000rwf.yeah, fining people(university students) because they didn't attend prayers.
So how did I reach 40,000rwf?
Last semester, the Rwandan minister of education took things in his capable hands and the university got scared and didn't make students pay.but at that time , more than the half had already payed.
People, these fines can go up to 40,000,000 rwf ! And thats just an approximation, am sure they squeezes from us.do they even declare that amount of money to the authorities? Probably not.
Ok, let me stop being egocentric. I will post numerous stories from AUCA students who are more than mad about this, and who really can't pay.
As of an End note,

cause that stand for liberty, liberty of expression, religion.
Which is being refused to us by AUCA.
