Revealing the truth about the “simple mosque”

Among the posts aimed at attracting interactions on social media, pages and accounts circulated an image of a thatched house that was said to show a "simple mosque", accompanied by comments urging users to share it.

But the agency "Agence France Presse" revealed the truth of the photo.

The picture shows a thatched building, and the accompanying caption reads, "A simple mosque."

The posts added, "I don't think you will like it" in an indirect invitation to share the photo, given that the image of a "simple mosque" will not attract users of social networking sites.

Pictures are often spread on the communication sites that try to stir the emotions of users to make them share them, and thus increase the turnout on the pages or accounts that publish them, such as pictures said to be, for example, of a sick orphan child who does not find someone to call for him, or for a person with a disability or deformity who “will not find anyone to put He has a heart."

But this circulating image is not of a simple mosque, as its promoters claimed.

He directed the search for it on search engines to several sites, especially in Africa and in the state of Rwanda in particular.

According to these published sites, including tourist sites, the picture actually shows a royal palace in Rwanda, located in the southern town of Nyanza, which was the capital of this eastern African country.

The capital of Rwanda today is Kigali, located in the center of the country.

Pictures of this headquarters - which has been turned into a museum - can be found on Google Maps.

Kigili V was the last king of Rwanda until the abolition of the monarchy in 1961. He died in 2016 in exile in the United States at the age of eighty.

His body was transferred in early 2017 to Rwanda, where his funeral took place.
