THE PURPOSE 
These alternative aims to achieve a free, safe, and prosperous Rwanda ruled by the will of the people. It also prevents arms conflicts based on narrow ideologies that impede social, economic, and political reform.

GOAL
The goal is to open Rwanda's political space and create a transition away from decades of accumulated political and social risks such as those resulting from the genocide and decades of repression that maintain the current dictatorship, as well as those resulting from being denied justice.
OBJECTIVE
This peaceful transitional agreement opens a political space as a window of opportunity for impartial negotiations on multiple issues facing the people and country. This is done before providing for a peaceful transition for restoring livelihoods and well-being in Rwanda. This will be achieved by removing economic and social barriers that prevent people from self-expression of individual preferences. 
This agreement aims to create a peaceful transition. This would remove Rwanda from the rough rule of dictatorship to the rule by the will and benefit of the people commonly referred to as democratic rule. This would be made possible by eliminating all restrictions that bar citizens from engaging in the country's political, social, and economic life. A peaceful transition to democracy will help people prepare for change and ensure long-term peace, security, and economic prosperity in Rwanda!
THE OPENING OF RWANDA'S POLITICAL SPACE WILL LEAD TO:
1. The consideration of a peaceful transition in which the people’s wants are heard through referendums and receive priorities over any individual lust.
2. Rwandans will have the opportunity to reclaim their rights to choose whether Rwanda should become a democratic country or remain a one-party state.
3. Engaging with the government in advocacy campaigns and political processes of establishing and monitoring various social and economic initiatives is something which is lacking since RPF seized power in 1994.
4. Express citizens’ political preferences without interference or harassment by the current regime.
5. Elected government in which participation is based on citizen terms and objectives which most Rwandans and democratic voices representing their interests believe is the right thing to do.
6. Elected officials with the mandate and power to defend the interests of their voters. In the process the future of Rwanda be decided by the will of the people.
7. A democratic environment where decisions are made at the discretion of the majority.
8. Removing communities from extreme poverty and being able to re-organise their lives and improve their livelihood which is now denied to them by the existing political environment.
9. Bringing an end to the political repression and organised crime used by the current regime, which is a source of constant grief and despair in a variety of parts of the country.
