She said: "I'm trying to put my feelings aside to help my mother as much as possible." I am trying to remain solid, to care for my brothers, because I know it's the best way, I can help my mother. ?
The last time she spoke with her mother was on the eve of his arrest. "We spoke normally." We've been cool.Nous we laughed.With my mother, we have always been friends. We talk about everything, and for me, it is difficult to imagine it as a politician. So far, it is the last time that I could speak with her. ?
Last Friday, the Rwandan Embassy in Holland, however, promised Raisa would be able to speak with her mother in 48 hours. "Said Ambassador as regards me, I should not be regarded as a politician." If I talk to my mother, I did ask him about the situation in Rwanda or asking what said witnesses, but simply, MOM, how are you? All I want for now is just to hear my mother told me that it is OK.
"Ambassador listened to me carefully Institute has included my situation.Elle seemed to want to help me, to the point where I thought that it .but when a farm the door in the face of someone, it means a doesn't help."She began by developing ways to help us, but once she decided it was time for us to leave, it was everywhere. His attitude changed radically, and I left in the dark to the status of my mother.The Ambassador spoke to me and listen to me have a mother, but she reacted as an Ambassador.?

When he asked what she expects the Rwandan community, she tells us that she wished to first become aware of the situation, they knew that her mother had a family, a job, a comfortable life in Holland before leaving it all behind to take the fight in Rwanda.She fought for the people of Rwanda and now that she is in prison, she was needed more than ever the Rwandan people.
Raisa adds with emotion: "I want is for people to understand that an innocent woman is in prison, this woman could be their sister, their mother, their daughter."

When asked what she would do if she could turn back the clock, it is not a second: "even if it is difficult for me, I would leave his leave, because my mother do what she thinks is juste.Pour prevent it from being involved in politics and the struggle for a fair Rwanda more would destroy a part of my mère.Certains have mothers are singers, singing for them o.d. ' have mothers who are nurses, who provide medical care for them."
"Personally, I have a mother who is a politician - that inspires me, TargetObject if I could turn back the clock, I would encourage to leave again as policy is part of him."
Even today, despite the turn of events, I am proud of it because it fights for what it has always believed in the.
"My mother taught me to live my life that I never please leave my path to block any obstacles never leave no obstacles prevent me do what I want .c ' is one of the biggest lessons of life that I learned from my mother."
"I want him to resume his freedom - freedom to come and see us but also the freedom to pursue his political struggle, the freedom to be able to continue to fight for what has always believed it," concludes Raisa.
