Much sympathy for Rwandans is due to their recent genocide. Any law that showed the Rwandan government targeting a vulnerable minority would be unacceptable to donor nations who won't want any more blood on their hands. Also, it would likely have a negative effect on the work of the War Crimes Tribunal and it is unlikely that they would continue to recieve any military aide. As much difficulty as the Ugandan law would cause for that country, I think the consequences would be far worse for Rwanda.
