Hearing a blast, journalist Anjan Sundaram headed uphill towards
the sound. Grenade explosions are not entirely unusual in the city
of Kigali; dissidents throw them in public areas to try and
destabilise the government and, since moving to Rwanda, he had
observed an increasing number of them. What was unusual about this
one, however, was that when Sundaram arrived, it was as though
nothing had happened. Traffic circulated as normal, there was no
debris on the streets and the policeman on duty denied any event
whatsoever. This was evidence of a clean-up, a cloaking of the
discontent in Rwanda and a desire to silence the media in a country
most of whose citizens were without internet. This was the first of
many ominous events. Bad News is the extraordinary account of the
battle for free speech in modern-day Rwanda. Following not only
those journalists who stayed, despite fearing torture or even death
from a ruthless government, but also those reporting from exile, it
is the story of papers being shut down, of lies told to please
foreign delegates, of the unshakeable loyalty that can be bred by
terror, of history being retold, of constant surveillance, of
corrupted elections and of great courage. It tells the true
narrative of Rwandan society today and, in the face of powerful
forces, of the fight to make explosions heard.
