        No way. This is just cruelty. No humans should be killed for stealing bananas.

        Members of government in Rwanda who loot the public treasury will also be dealt with the same way.

        That's Africa for us. When leaders steal billions noting is done to them the highest is just bail of a few millions and that's it.

        A scandal! People can be rehabilitated and given the opportunity to contribute to society. UK abolished death penalty for theft in 1832.

        You don't need any rehabilitation for stealing banana. Banana is not fucking diamond, they do it cause they are hungry. It has no value!

        Totally absurd in 2017. In Britain we had the death penalty for theft till 1832. Rwanda should be taken to task by @commonwealthsec.
