Letter from The President (IX)

Countrymen and women, times have changed.
Indeed, everything seems to have taken a turn for the worse and we seem incapable of even ensuring our qualification to the African Cup of Nations. In fact, the failure of Burkhard Ziese and his useless Black Stars bunch to qualify for the next continental football fiesta next year, has put me in a very foul mood, which nearly marred my meeting with the Bushman. How can genocide-ravaged Rwanda qualify for the Cup of Nations at our expense? Even though the Black Stars performed abysmally in the football match in Kigali, it is gratifying to note that their compatriots back home are playing the ‘blame-game’ extremely well.
