SAKWE SAKWE?

(*Kinyarwanda Version*)

Sakwe, Sakwe? Fora Ndi Nde?
Ngo turi beza ariko…Umuntu akaba yahinduka umusilamu. Akitandira Kungufu. Ngo Akunde Ahishe, Bitagaragara. Ngo kandi sitwe gusa
Ngo n’abaturanyi n’uko.Ukabona umukobwa w’umusirimu. Bamwe ngo bita aba sileyi. Nawe byamushobeye. Iwacu ntibigaragara. Kuko twese ni uko. Ariko sa nuwinyabya gato. Hanze y’igihugu. Ntibazatinda kubikwibutsa. Fora Ndi Nde?

Riddle Me This. Who Am I?They say we possess beauty with a “but”. Imagine becoming Muslim. Wearing Hijab and All. In a poor attempt of camouflage. They say it ain’t just us either. Our Neighbors weren’t spared. Next time you spot a city girl. The ones they call “slay queens. Observe her well, even she has accepted her fate. Home nobody cares. Because home we look alike. But make the mistake to step out once. The will be sure to remind you! Who am I?
