NOVEMBER 23rd 2016 IS THE DATE TO LAND IN RWANDA TO CLAIM THE POLITICAL SPACE
1. On 28th of January 2013, twelve (12) young rwandan activists and scholars met in Paris, France; and launched ISHEMA Political Party as an organization in opposition to the ruling party, the Rwandese Patriotic Front (RPF-Inkotanyi).
2. The vision set by the founders is “Promoting Democracy in Rwanda through the values of Truth, Intrepidness and Social justice”.
3. From the beginning, ISHEMA Party proposes the peaceful ways based on the DIALOGUE and consensus upon the constructive initiatives to be implemented in a manner evenly beneficial to all the citizens.
4. The first congress of ISHEMA Party held in Paris, France in January 2014 nominated Reverend Father Thomas NAHIMANA as the flag-bearer for the party in the upcoming presidential elections of 2017. The same resolution was confirmed by the extraordinary congress held in Le Havre, France, in 2015, which additionally, concluded on the list of the members to accompany the presidential candidate in Rwanda for the party registration and campaign procedures.
5. The Second Congress held in Brussels in January 2016 determined the steps to be taken before going to Rwanda for registration and participation in elections. The major step was to finalize our Manifesto entitled “TOGETHER TO MODERNIZE RWANDA”.
Having made all the necessary steps, we hereby declare to all the media houses, the Rwanda’s leaders, all Rwandans and all friends of Rwanda, the following:
I. Our resolution to go to Rwanda to exercise our political right remains unshakable. It also requires the support from all peace-lovers and political players.
II. Reverend Father Thomas NAHIMANA alongside with his team will land in Rwanda on Wednesday, November 23rd, 2016.
III. We highly appreciate all Rwandans and international organizations for their continuous support.
IV. Everybody is invited to a press conference for the international media scheduled in Brussels before our departure. The details about the conference and the departure airport shall be communicated very soon to facilitate those who wish to see us off.
May God protect all the Rwandans who are ready to warmly welcome our Team.
Long live Citizens proud to struggle for the equality of all Rwandan children.
Louise Arbour, the tribunal’s former chief prosecutor at ICTR
A United Nations criminal tribunal was so hobbled by the hostility of the Rwandan government that it was unable to investigate “very credible allegations” of crimes by the forces of President Paul Kagame, says Louise Arbour, the tribunal’s former chief prosecutor.
Ms. Arbour, a retired Supreme Court of Canada justice, revealed details in an interview with The Globe and Mail of how the Kagame government and its supporters made it difficult for the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda to investigate many serious crimes, including the assassination of two presidents – the event that ignited the genocide in which 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed.
The attack on the presidential plane in 1994 was just one of many unsolved crimes in Rwanda before and after the genocide, she said, adding: “I think that remains a very serious failing of international criminal justice.”
Ms. Arbour’s revelations about her three-year stint as the tribunal’s chief prosecutor came after The Globe obtained two documents – a deposition by one of Mr. Kagame’s former top aides and an earlier report by investigators at the UN Rwanda tribunal – pointing to the involvement of Mr. Kagame’s forces in the death of Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana.
The missile strike on the night of April 6, 1994, that killed Mr. Habyarimana and Burundian president Cyprien Ntaryamira remains a mystery, but investigating magistrates in France have now reopened their probe to consider the new deposition by the former Kagame aide, who says he heard Mr. Kagame and two other aides admitting that they orchestrated the attack.
The French investigation was precipitated by a case filed by the families of the French crew of the plane carrying the two presidents, but later went into limbo because of a lack of witnesses.
Mr. Habyarimana’s daughter Marie-Rose, now a Canadian citizen, has criticized the UN tribunal for failing to pursue charges in connection with the assassination. “People have closed their eyes,” she told The Globe in an interview this month.
But Ms. Arbour said in her interview that Mr. Kagame’s government “could turn on and off the co-operative tap at will, depending whether they were pleased or not with the work that was being done.”
The tribunal, which closed last December after more than two decades of work, indicted 95 suspects and convicted 61 of them, but all were linked to the former Hutu regime of Mr. Habyarimana, which was driven out of power by Mr. Kagame’s forces after the genocide. Critics have said the tribunal became a form of “victor’s justice.”
The tribunal had the power to investigate crimes during the entire year of 1994, including the period before and after the genocide, but it did not indict anyone linked to Mr. Kagame and his Tutsi-led forces, despite many allegations against them.
“These kinds of very credible allegations have been made time and again,” Ms. Arbour said. “And in the 22 years of its history, the tribunal has never been able to take that on.”
The concerns about the imbalance in the tribunal’s prosecutions are valid, she said.
Ms. Arbour disclosed that she had told her successor, Carla Del Ponte, that the tribunal “had to make some efforts” to investigate “serious allegations of crimes” by “elements or sympathizers” of Mr. Kagame’s forces.
Those investigations “could only be done from outside the country” because of the dangers and difficulties of working inside Rwanda, she told Ms. Del Ponte in 1999, when she left the tribunal to become a Supreme Court justice.
“The office of the prosecutor was sitting right in the middle of the country, where allegedly some of the leadership elements had to be investigated,” Ms. Arbour told The Globe. “That’s not, frankly, very doable.”
Asked whether the tribunal could have investigated the assassination of the two presidents in 1994, she said: “We worked in a very fragile environment. I had a lot of concerns about the safety, the security of our witnesses. I don’t think we had anywhere near the kind of human resources, capacity, know-how, to do that work while we were sitting in that country.”
She drew a comparison to the criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, where she was also the chief prosecutor and where she indicted former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic for war crimes.
“I don’t think we would have managed to do leadership investigations in Yugoslavia had we been, in a sense, hostage to the government of Croatia, Bosnia or Serbia,” she said.
“Without being able to operate safely from the outside [of Rwanda] with a lot of credible, independent, outside investigative support – it’s not an excuse, but it’s in part an explanation as to why maybe this has never been done. It certainly would not have been doable in the first few years of the tribunal.”
The tribunal was “constantly in a conflictual position vis-à-vis President Kagame,” she said. For example, his government insisted that some genocide suspects should be put on trial domestically in Rwanda, rather than sent to the tribunal’s court in neighbouring Tanzania, she said.
“So even in the genocide prosecutions, we were very often – regularly – in conflict with the government, whom we would have thought would have been supportive of our work. So you can imagine what kind of situation we would have been in, sitting in the country needing visas to come in and out. … None of that was feasible without the full co-operation of the government.”
In a forthcoming book by freelance writer Judi Rever, a former senior official at the Rwanda tribunal says it was difficult to ensure the safety of witnesses who had information incriminating Mr. Kagame.
“The problem was that witnesses kept disappearing,” says Douglas Marks Moore, now a judge in Britain who was senior counsel to a team of investigators at the tribunal.
Many witnesses against Mr. Kagame fled to neighbouring countries such as Kenya and Uganda, but were then “extracted, tortured and killed,” he says.
This led to a serious depletion of the witness pool, he says in Ms. Rever’s book, In Praise of Blood, to be published by Random House Canada.
Mr. Marks Moore says it was “unwise” for the tribunal to have prosecuted only “one side” of the crimes in Rwanda.
Another senior investigator at the tribunal, former U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation agent Jim Lyons, told Ms. Rever that in 1997 the investigators heard detailed evidence from three witnesses who said Mr. Kagame was involved in planning the missile attack that killed the two presidents.
In the forthcoming book, Mr. Lyons says one of the tribunal investigators, Michael Hourigan, took the information to Ms. Arbour in 1997. “Arbour told him to shut down the investigation, that the ICTR had no mandate to investigate the plane crash – it had no jurisdiction,” he says.
Ms. Arbour said she met Mr. Hourigan only once. The information that he brought her about the plane crash “didn’t fall, in my view, within our prosecutorial agenda,” she told The Globe. “I don’t think we had the capacity or the resources, even if I had otherwise felt that we should collect information.”
L’enquête française sur l’attentat en 1994 contre l’avion du président rwandais Habyarimana est relancée. Selon l’AFP, qui a eu accès au dossier, les juges français ont lancé une nouvelle commission rogatoire internationale pour entendre le général Kaymba Nyamwasa, ex-chef d’état-major rwandais. Cet ancien proche du président Kagame, entré en dissidence et exilé en Afrique du Sud, accuse depuis plusieurs années Paul Kagame d’être responsable de l’attaque qui a coûté la vie à Juvénal Habyarimana et constitué un épisode déclencheur du génocide. L’enquête française sur l’attentat contre l’avion du président Habyarimana, une première fois close à l’été 2014, puis rouverte 3 mois plus tard, avait été une nouvelle fois clôturée sans avancées majeures en janvier dernier.
Selon les informations de l’AFP, c’est une démarche du général Nyamwasa lui-même qui vient relancer la procédure. En septembre 2013, l’ancien chef d’état-major rwandais, entré en dissidence, avait déclaré à RFI avoir des preuves de la responsabilité de Paul Kagame dans l’attentat et s’était dit prêt à témoigner. Une audition qui n’avait jamais eu lieu.
Pourtant, le général Nyamwasa faisait lui-même partie de 9 proches de Paul Kagame poursuivis dans cette même affaire depuis 2006, suite au rapport du juge Bruguière. Mais le mandat d’arrêt lancé contre lui, puis la commission rogatoire envoyée à l’Afrique du Sud pour son audition, n’avaient jamais abouti.
La nouvelle commission rogatoire qui vient d’être lancée par les juges Nathalie Poux et Jean-Marc Herbaut fait suite, selon l’AFP, a une nouvelle demande de Kayumba Nyamwasa pour être interrogé. Une demande qu’il a assortie cette fois d’une déposition devant notaire faite le 23 juin dernier à Pretoria, dans laquelle il met à nouveau directement en cause le président Kagame, indique l’AFP.
Nyamwasa affirme, dans cette déclaration, qu’au soir du 6 avril 94, il aurait appris de la bouche de Paul Kagame lui-même que « l’avion du président Habyarimana avait été abattu pas nos propres troupes ». Il nomme également deux autres responsables et deux exécutants présumés.
Je dirais que la situation est liée à la volonté entre la France et l’Afrique du Sud…
Réaction de maître Meilhac, avocat de la veuve du président Habyarimana
Muri iyi minsi abakunzi b’Ishyaka ISHEMA ry’u Rwanda cyane cyane urubyiruko bakomeje kutugaragariza ko bashishikajwe no kumenya impumeko dufite mu gihe hasigaye igihe kitagera ku mezi abiri ngo tube twasesekaye mu Rwatubyaye.
Kubera iyo mpamvu twiyemeje gutangiza uyu muyoboro witwa AMAKURU Y’ISHYAKA ISHEMA bityo tukajya tubagezaho uko duhagaze, umunsi ku wundi . Ni muri urwo rwego rero dutangiye uyu munsi:
Kuwa Gatatu taliki ya 14/9/2016
1.Ese mu Ishyaka ISHEMA hari ikibazo cyo kwicamo ibice bibiri gihari ?
Nta kibazo gisa gityo dufite. Ishyaka ISHEMA ryunze ubumwe 100%. Ubu icyo duhugiyeho ni ibikorwa bijyanye no kwisuganya neza :
*Ikipe ya mbere izajya mu Rwanda yatangiye imyitozo yihariye
*Turacyarimo kunononsora uko inzego z’abayoboke baba mu mahanga zizasigara ziteye
*Dushishikariye kwegera bwangu Abanyarwanda bose bafite ubushake bwo kudutera inkunga (campagne de proximité) kugira ngo gahunda yo kujyana Ishyaka mu Rwanda igende neza. Ni muri urwo rwego, kuri uyu wagatandatu ushize( le 10/9/2016) abayobozi b’Ishyaka Ishema ry’u Rwanda ndetse na Nouvelle Génération basuye abatuye mu mujyi wa Lille mu Bufaransa kugira ngo barusheho gusobanura umushinga wo kujya gukorera politiki mu Rwanda.
2. Ni gute umuntu yinjira cyangwa agasezera mu Ishyaka ry’ Abataripfana?
Umuntu wese ubishaka akaba akunda gahunda zo guhindura imiyoborere y’igihugu cyacu binyuze mu nzira zitamena amaraso, ashobora kwegera abayobozi b’Ishyaka ISHEMA ry’u Rwanda bakamusobanurira uko yabigenza.
Irindi hame tugenderaho ni uko umuntu yinjira mu Ishyaka Ishema ku bwende bwe kandi akaba yarisohokamo igihe ashakiye.
None rero Banyarwanda, Banyarwandakazi, mwese ndabararitse, ntimucikanwe. Muri uku kwezi kwa Nzeri (9) 2016, tanga inkunga yawe kugirango bitarenze taliki ya 2 Ugushyingo 2016 Ishyaka ISHEMA rizasesekare mu Rwanda ryitwaje umushinga utagira uko usa witwa « Kunga abenegihugu kugirango bashobore kwiyubakira u Rwanda Moderne »;« Together to modernize Rwanda »;« Rassembler pour moderniser le Rwanda ».
Uyu mushinga ni uwa twese : uruhare rwa buri wese nirugaragare bityo ntihazagire uhezwa ku buryohe bw’amatunda yawo.
Politiki ya « Mutuwele yo kwivuza » cyari igitekerezo cyiza. Ariko cyaje guhinduka icyanzu cyo gusahura rubanda no kubabeshya ngo baravurwa kandi mu by’ukuri batavurwa. Ntibikiri ibanga amafaranga yose batanze nka « Cotisation ya mutuelle »yaranyerejwe . Leta ubwayo yabyemeye mu kwirukana nabi Ministri w’ubuzima Agnes BINANGWAHO ndetse na ba Meya benshi baherutse kwirukanwa bashinjwa kunyereza amafaranga ya Mituweli. Hagati aho abari bayatanze bahitanywe n’icyorezo cya Malariya ku bwinshi, ababyeyi batagira ingano bo bagafungirwa mu bitaro babuze ubwishyu !
(4) Abana bashobora kwiga nta nkomyi ? 3/10
Raporo zinyuranye zikozwe n’inzego z’ubuyobozi bukuru bw’igihugu (Inteko Ishingamategeko …) zakomeje kwemeza ko uburezi buhabwa abana ba rubanda guhera mu mwaka w’1994, mu mashuri abanza, ayisumbuye na kaminuza, nta REME bufite.
Ku ruhande rumwe, igitekerezo cyo gushuka abaturage ko abana bose baziga bagatunga dipolome ariko zitagize icyo zibamariye kiragayitse cyane kandi kizagira ingaruka zikomeye kuri ejo hazaza h’igihugu.
Ku rundi ruhande, bigaragara ko abana b’abategetsi aribo batangwaho umutungo w’igihugu kugira ngo bige mu mashuri y’akataraboneka yo muri Kigali , ndetse bigasozwa no kubohereza mu Bulayi na America . Uku kwikubira ibyiza by’igihugu kurakabije kandi kugomba guhagarara.
Nanone kandi hari ivangura rikaze rikomeje kugaragarira mu gukoresha umutungo w’igihugu hagafashwa abana bamwe barihirwa amashuri , abandi ndetse b’abahanga bakabura ubufasha. Ninde utabona ko iri vangura rishingiye ku irondakoko niridakosorwa amaherezo rizadusenyera igihugu bikomeye !
Uku gusumbanya abana b’igihugu bisa n’ibyimitse politiki ya « apartheid » hagati y’abana b’u Rwanda, FPR yarishyizeho igamije kwimika ubusumbane bukomeye mu gihe kizaza. Ninde wabishima uretse uwanzi w’igihugu ?
(5)Abaturage bafite amazi meza ? 0.5/10
Abaturage badafite amazi meza nta buzima buzira umuze bashobora kugira. Bagira umwanda, bakazongwa n’indwara z’ibyorezo zinyuranye. Ihere amaso iyi videwo ikurikira urebe uko iki kibazo cyazahaje abaturage kandi Leta ya Kagame ikaba idashaka kugikemura!
Yewe ngo n’ahubatswe amariba ya kijyambere , abaturage babanje gutanga imisanzu, nta mazi yigeze ageramo ! Ngiyo rero politiki y’igipindi ye !
(6) Abaturage bafite amashanyarazi mu ngo zabo ? 2.5/10
Reka twibutse ko amashyanyarazi afite uruhare rukomeye mu iterambere ry’igihugu n’abaturage bacyo .
(7) Abaturage bambara ku buryo buboneye ? 2/10
Politiki yo guca « Caguwa » mu Rwanda yagaragaje ko Leta ya Kagame ihora ifata ibyemezo bibangamiye cyane inyungu za rubanda . Bizwi ko U Rwanda rudafite inganda zakora imyenda mishya ihagije. Ikindi kandi abaturage bose ntibaragira ubushobozi bwo kugura imyenda mishya gusa. Iki cyemezo cyo guca caguwa cyagaragaye nko kwishongora bikabije kandi bitarimo ubwenge. Yewe n’ibihugu by’i Bulayi byakataje mu majyambere biracyacuruza imyenda ya caguwa !
Aha urubyiruko rurannyega icyemezo cya Leta cyo guca caguwa.
Aho Leta ya Nyakubahwa Paul Kagame ntiyibwira ko u Rwanda rutuwe n’abaministri n’abaherwe batuye Kigali gusa ? Ndetse twumva ko n’abagizwe abamisitiri bagurizwa amafaranga yo kugura iyo myenda mishya ! Abaturage basanzwe se bo bazagurizwa nande ?
(8)Abaturage barindiwe umutekano : 1/10
Mu Rwanda imbere nta ntambara y’amasasu ihari nyamara inzego zishinzwe gucunga umutekano(Polisi, igisirikari, Inkeragutabara…) ntizisiba kurasa abaturage b’inzirakarengane ku manywa y’ihangu no kubahoza mu iterabwoba ridahuga.
Intambara z’urudaca Leta ihozamo ibihugu duturanye nazo amaherezo zizabyarira Abanyarwanda akarambaraye niba iyi politiki yo kwigira gashozantambara mu karere idahagaritswe .
Urubyiruko nirwo maboko y’igihugu rukaba n’amizero y’iterambere rizaramba. Iyo urubyiruko rwihebye ntiwavuga ko uri kubaka igihugu.
Mu Rwanda urubyiruko ruremerewe cyane n’iterabwoba, ubushomeri n’ubukene. Umugabane ungana na 85 % w’urubyiruko ntacyo Leta ya Kagame ikora ngo irufashe kwikura mu bukene no kwizera ejo hazaza hazima. Icyo Leta ya Kagame imariye urubyiruko ruyikeneyeho ibisubizo ni ukujya kubafungira ku karwa ka IWAWA ; kubashora mu ntambara zo mu bihugu duturanye zibatikiza umusubizo n’uzirokotse agasigara ari igisenzegeri kitazagira icyo cyimarira.
Umwanzuro
Leta ya Paul Kagame abaturage baramutse bayigiriye ubuntu bayiha amanota angana na 15 /100 , ubundi bakayisezerera bwangu . Leta nk’iyi ntabwo ikwiye guhabwa amahirwe yo gukomeza kugaraguza abaturage agati no kwivuga ibigwi itagira . Politiki z’ibipindi Abanyarwanda barazirambiwe. Niyo mpamvu hakenewe IMPINDUKA.
By’umwihariko Urubyiruko rw’u Rwanda rukwiye kwishakamo ubutwari, rugahagurukana impirita maze mu matora ataha ya Perezida wa Repubulika yo mu 2017 n’ay’Intumwa za rubanda yo mu 2018, rukihitiramo abayobozi bashya . Njyewe ndetse ndashishikariza abasore n’inkumi kuzitabira amatora ari benshi kandi bakitorera abakandida ba « Nouvelle Génération » kuko umushinga wacu « Kunga abenegihugu ngo dufatanye kwiyubakira u Rwanda moderne(Together to modernize Rwanda) », ukubiyemo ibisubizo bifatika kuri ziriya ngingo 10 zagaragajwe hejuru, ari nazo zubakirwaho iterambere rirambye ry’igihugu .
Mbifurije mwese guhorana ishema.
Padiri Thomas NAHIMANA,
Umukandida wa Opozisiyo mu matora ya Perezida wa Repubulika yo mu 2017.
Mu kwezi gushize, mbere gato ko ibiruhuko by’abanyehuri bitangira, hari uwahimbye ubutumwa bushekeje abuzengurutsa kuri izi mbuga nkoranyambaga. Yageragezaga gusobanurira abanyeshuri baje mu biruhuko bimwe mu byahindutse ubwo bari bahugiye ku masomo. Yarateruye ati:
“Dore ibyabaye mwaragiye ku mashuri: Mwagiye abasore (Derek na Olvis ) bakundana na ba Miss Teta & Vanessa ubu siko bikimeze. Mwagiye caguwa turi kuzamagana none ubu zizageza muri Vision 2020. Mwagiye Convention Center itaruzura none ubu yaruzuye ndetse yanakiriye aba President 31 mu nama ya AU Summit. Mwagiye muzi ko Knowless afite ubukwe, ubu itariki zaramenyekanye gusa buzatahwa nufite invitation nta muvumbyi wemewe. Mwagiye APR FC itajya itsindwa na Rayon ubugira kabiri none yabaye *4G*. Mwagiye muzi ko baca umugani mu Kinyarwanda ngo *”Active irahitinga daaa!!* ubu noneho baca uwundi ngo “Nta wita Umwana uwo yambariye ukuri”. Mwagiye Primus Guma Guma Superstar itaratangira none igikombe twamenye nyiracyo….”
Munyemerere nanjye nifashishe iyi nganzo mbabwire ibyahindutse hagati aha mu gihe mwari muhugiye muri byinshi binyuranye: “Mwagiye Ambassadeur Eugène Gasana agihagarariye u Rwanda muri Loni. Ngo umwambari w’umwana agenda nka shebuja, mwagiye agenza nka shebuja, agatuka amahanga y’ibihangange nka shebuja ngo mu rwego rwo kwihesha agaciro. Hagati aho ngo yaba yarashyekewe, ibyo kugenza nka shebuja abifata uko (au pied de la lettre), agenza nka we no mu byo atemerewe none dore bimukozeho. Ubu bamutumije i Kigali atinya kuhakandagira, na we bamusezerera ikitaraganya. Ngo yaba aryozwa icyaha gikomeye kijyanye no kubogora amata ya shebuja.
Mwasize Agnès Binagwaho avuna umuheha bakamwongera uwundi bimwe by’umwana uri iwabo. Ubu atangiye kwibagirana kimwe n’abandi bamubanjirije ku ibere. Mwasize Theos Badege yica agakiza muri CID. Ubu ikibazo kigezweho ni ukumenya niba ari we wavuyeho na CID bakajyana, cyangwa niba ari yo yarohamye na we ikamutwara. Mwasize Kagame afite telecomande ayoboza byose mu Rwanda: Guverinoma, Icyama, Ingabo, iperereza, mbese igihugu mu nzego zose. Hagati aha telecomande ye amabuye yarashaje ntiyabimenya. Hagati aho abiru b’Icyama, ba bandi yakoreshaga atubyinisha muzunga, bakoresheje indi bakajya bazapinga (zaping) bucece kugeza igihe Kagame atakimenya canal yerekana amashusho ndetse n’ubwoko bw’ayo mashusho. Nguko uko bamukinnye amayida, bamubeshya ko bagiye kuvugurura itegeko nshinga ngo akaziyamamaza ubuziraherezo. None no kwiyamamaza umwaka utaha bizamubera nk’inshoberamahanga.
1. Ibintu 2 twemeraga kuri FPR none ano mezi atandatu ya 2016 akaba amaze kubisenya.
Icya mbere mu kwemera kwanjye cyahungabanye, kandi nkanibaza no kubyabaye kuri benshi, ni isano iri hagati ya Kagame na FPR. Abatari bake, twitegereje inzira FPR yanyuzemo muri iyi myaka 22 iri ku butegetsi, twemeraga ko yasenyutse, cyangwa se isigaye yubatse kuri Kagame nk’inkingi ya mwamba. Mu yandi magambo byavugwaga ku mugaragaro ko Kagame ari we FPR. Icyo iyi myaka ibiri ya nyuma isize igikuye mu nzira.
Icya kabiri abatari bake twibwiraga ni uko FPR, nyuma yo kugenda ishyira ku ruhande abatari bake mu bigugu byayubatse, yari yaratakaje za ngufu yahoranye zo gupanga, kureba kure, kumenya aho inyungu zayo ziri no guhangana n’ibihe bihinduka. Iki na cyo iyi myaka ya nyuma irakinyomoje. FPR iracyafite abiru bareba kure, bapanga bagapangura, byaba na ngombwa na wa wundi Kagame wigize akari aha kajya he bakamwinjiza muri iyo operation yo gupanga no gupangura, mbese na we akabyinishwa muzunga yibwira ngo ni we uyoboye umudiho.
Gusa na none nta zirumba ngo zibure n’agahaza. Hari icyo twashidikanyaga cyangwa tukacyemera nta gihamya, none kibaye ukuri. Ni ukuba FPR ikora neza neza nk’ubwami bwa kera. Kimwe mu byaranze ubwami mu Rwanda, ni uburyo bwari bwubakitse gihanga. Umwami yafatwaga nk’igikingi cya byose, nyamara imipangu y’ukuri ya politiki yakorwaga n’abiru umwami akinjira muri iyo muzunga atazi na we iyo igana. Ni muri urwo rwego bamurambagirizaga abagore babyita ngo berejwe inzuzi, nyamara wakwitegereza ugasanga byarakorwaga ku munzani w’inyungu z’imiryango 5 ikomeye y’ibibanda, ni ukuvuga ya moko yabyaraga abamikazi. Umwami ntiyanagenaga uzamusimbura. Ashwi da. Kuko uyu musimbura akenshi yatangazwaga ku munsi wo gushyingura se. Bityo, abiru bavugaga ko iryo banga nyakwigendera yari yararibabikije, ndetse ko uwo musimbura yavukanye imbuto, nyamara ubu dufite gihamya nyinshi ko byari umupango. Mu by’ukuri uruhande rurushije izindi ingufu rwashyiragaho uwarwo nuko abiru bakabyita irage ry’umwami watanze.
Na Kagame ibye na FPR birangiye nk’iby’umwami n’abiru. FPR yiyubatse ku cyitegererezo cy’ubwami. Si ku busa FPR yavutse yitwa RANU, ni ukuvuga UNAR mu cyongereza. Iyo UNAR ni rya shyaka ryarwaniraga ubwami. Mu kwiyubaka rero, koko FPR yafashe zimwe mu ngeso nziza n’imbi z’ubwami. Imwe muri zo ni ubwiru. Ni ukugira abantu bitangiye kubaka ingengabitekerezo ya politiki, kubaka umurongo, guharanira guhora bawuhuza n’aho ibihe bigeze, gupanga no kureba kure ngo ikintu cyose cyatera ingaruka zikomeye bakibone mbere y’igihe bagishakire umuti inzira zikigendwa.
Ikindi FPR yakopeye ku bwami, ni umuco w’igitambo. Mu bwami icyari ngombwa ni uko système ikomeza. Ibisigaye bindi byatangwaho igitambo. Iyo byabaga ngombwa, umwami bamuvanaga mu nzira iyo babonaga abangamiye système. Umwamikazi na we bamunyweshaga amata bibaye ngombwa. Mbese buri wese yashoboraga kuba igitambo. Icy’ingenzi cyari ko système ikomeza. Na FPR ni uko. Uwo ari we wese ashobora kuba igitambo ngo système idahungabana. Ikibazo ni uko twajyaga twibeshya ko bireba abandi ukuyemo Kagame. Si byo, na Kagame birashyize bimugezeho.
2. Uko byagenze ibara umupfu.
Bijya gutangira, Kagame yadukanye kuvuga mu ndimi zose ko adakeneye mandat ya gatatu. Yarabivuze arabishimangira mu mpitagihe, mu ndagihe no mu nzagihe. Hagati aho muri FPR abiyumvagamo ko bamubera abasimbura batangiye kwishyira mu myanya. Ngabo ba Musoni, ngabo ba rugize rute n’ibindi. Ukuri ni uko Kagame yagira ngo abarebe. Ubwo abivuyemo nk’inopfu bategereze akazaza. Nyuma yaho gato, binyujijwe ku bamotsi babigize umwuga nka Musa Fazil Harerimana, hatangijwe inkubiri yo gusinya no gusaba ko Kagame ahabwa amahirwe yo kwiyamamaza ubuziraherezo. Ba bandi bari baragaragaje inyota yo kuba basimbura Kagame babonye ko yabagushije mu mutego batazikuramo, ubwo Kagame aba yinjije kimwe zeru. Hagati aho ibya Burundi na byo byari bitangiye gushyuha. Abiru muri FPR batangiye kubona ko Kagame agiye kubera système ikibazo : Gushaka gukomeza kwiyamamaza ubuziraherezo byamwogerera imbaraga ariko amahanga akabakuraho amaboko bityo FPR ikaba igiye mu mage.
Aha rero ni ho hatangiriye undi mukino. Ikibazo gikomeye cyari inzira yo kwigizayo Kagame. Inzira zari nyinshi. Iya coup d’Etat yarageragejwe ariko bigaragara bwangu ko itazashoboka. Ni bwo rero abiru bapanze iyo kumutsinda icya mpaga atazivanamo. Mu gihe abamotsi be baririmbaga ko natiyamamaza u Rwanda ruzubama, barabaretse, bakora umushinga wo kuvugurura itegeko nshinga rikamwemerera kuziyamamaza muri 2017 na nyuma yaho. Kagame n’ababyinnyi be baherutse iyo ngingo, ntibamenye uko abiru babigenje Itegeko Nshinga rishyashya rigasohoka rifungira Kagame inzira yari atezemo amizero. Ubu kugira ngo yiyamamaze byamusaba irindi vugurura, kandi naryo ryasiga rimukojeje isoni bidasanzwe mu maso y’amahanga !
3.Amayida hagati ya Kagame na FPR si ay’ubu, ava kure.
Si ubwa mbere Kagame na FPR bakina uyu mukino. Gusa kugeza ubu Kagame yari yaragiye awutsinda, none urugiye kera ruhinyuza intwari. Amaherezo awutsinzwe ubutazegura umutwe. No muri 2003 inama ya bureau politique yateranye kenshi ishaka umukandida. Inshuro eshatu zose hatowe utari Kagame, kandi abasirikari batariyumvishaga ukuntu umuntu w’umusivili yatwara Afandi uwo mwanya . Ni bwo rero inzego za gisirikari n’iperereza zahagurutse, abantu bakoranyirizwa kuri stade Nyamirambo igitaraganya, Kagame bamwimika bakomye amashyi (désignation par acclamation). Umuntu wese wasoma amategeko ya FPR biroroshye kubona ko ubwo buryo bwakoreshejwe nta hantu buteganyijwe. Kagame rero yari amaze kumenyera gutsinda ibitego none atsindiwe ku iyogi rya nyuma.
4.Abiru ba FPR bateye ibuye rimwe bica inyoni ebyiri.
Ku ruhande rumwe Kagame bamuvanye mu nzira nta nduru. Niyiyamamaza azaba yishyize mu mage, amahanga amwamaganire kure ko yishe itegeko, natsimbarara abe ataye ibaba noneho n’uwatekereza coup d’Etat bibe byagira inzira.
Hagati aho ibanga baba barikojeje Kayumba bati uwo mwari mufitanye amasinde ari mu marembera tangira inzira igaruka mu rugo igihe nikigera uzabe uri mu micungararo ya hafi. Yumva birakwiye, cyane ko système koko atigeze ayivuga nabi. Ba Rudasingwa bagotse bazenguruka isi bavuga ko Kagame na système yose byaboze bati mugiye kutugira injajwa. Ubwo hagati ya Kayumba na Rudasingwa ruba rurambikanye. Kagame avuye mu nzira…RNC ivuye mu nzira.
Harakabaho ubwiru n’abiru.
BIRACYAZA ….
Ubutaha tuzabagezaho uko umupango wakozwe n’amazina y’abawuri ku isonga.
Ndifuza gusaba Abanyarwanda basonzeye impinduka ko barekera aho kugendera ku mpuha n’amabwire ahubwo abazi gusoma no kwandika bagafata umwanya wo kwisomera ubwabo Itegekonshinga rya Repubulika y’u Rwanda ryo mu 2003 nk’uko ryavuguruwe mu Ukuboza 2015 rigasohoka mu Igazeti ya Leta, nomero idasanzwe yo kuwa 24 Ukuboza 2015. Si ukurisoma gusa ahubwo bagomba no guharanira kumva neza icyo rivuga.
By’umwihariko ndashaka kubwira Abanyarwanda bose cyane cyane abayoboke b’Umuryango wa FPR Inkotanyi, ko na nyuma ya Referendumu ififitse , Itegekonshinga ryavuguruwe mu Ukuboza 2015 ritemerera Nyakubahwa Paul Kagame, kuzongera kwiyamamariza kuba Perezida wa Repubulika nyuma ya manda ye ya kabiri izarangira mu mwaka utaha wa 2017. Ndabagira inama yo gushaka undi mukandida hakiri kare kugira ngo mutazatungurwa . Sinahisha ko ku ruhande rwa Opozisiyo natwe dufite amatsiko yo kumenya hakiri kare umukandida mushya wa FPR twiteguye guhangana na we mu matora yegereje.
1.Twibukiranye icyo Itegeko Nshinga riteganya
Hari ingingo ebyiri zitanga urumuri ruhagije kuri iki kibazo . Iy’ 101 n’iy’ 172.
Ingingo y’101 itarahindurwa yagira ga iti :
» Perezida wa Repubulika atorerwa manda y’imyaka irindwi(7). Ashobora kongera gutorwa incuro imwe. Nta na rimwe umuntu yemererwa gutorerwa manda zirenze 2 ku mwanya wa Perezida wa Repubulika”.
Nk’uko bigaragara, iyi ngingo yari yarashyizweho mu rwego rwo gukumira umuperezida w’umunyagitugu wagerageza kwigundiriza ku butegetsi bityo agahindura Repubulika nk’ingoma ya cyami. Gusa Perezida Paul Kagame n’abambari be bahisemo kwica amatwi maze bakoresha igitugu kidasanzwe kugira ngo iyi ngingo ikomeye ihindurwe bityo Paul Kagame abone icyanzu cyo kuzapfira ku butegetsi.
Ingingo y’101 yaje rero guhindurwa no kwemezwa na Referendumu itekinitse yo mu Ukuboza 2015.
Dore ibyo ingingo nshya y’101 iteganya :
« Perezida wa Repubulika atorerwa manda y’imyaka itanu (5). Ashobora kongera gutorerwa indi manda imwe ».
*Mu Cyongereza :The President of the Republic is elected for a five (5) year term of office. He or she may be re-elected once.
*Mu Gifaransa :Le Président de la République est élu pour un mandat de cinq (5) ans. Il peut être rééluune seule fois.
Nk’uko bigaragara ihindurwa ry’iyi ngingo ubwaryo ntaho ryemerera Perezida Kagame nk’ »ucyuye igihe » kongera kwiyamamaza! Ahubwo icyongeye gushimangirwa ni uko nta Perezida wa Repubulika y’u Rwanda uzemererwa kurenza manda ebyiri. Ikindi ni uko imyaka ya manda ivuye kuri irindwi igashyirwa kuri itanu kugira ngo Perezida wa Repubulika atazongera kurambirana ku butegetsi. Iri ni ivugurwa ryiza cyane kandi rifite ishingiro.
2.Abanditse ingingo y’172 nta mahirwe bashatse guha Perezida Kagame yo kuzongera kwiyamamaza !
Benshi bibwiraga ko Itegekonshinga ryavuguruwe kugira ngo ryemeze ikintu gisa n’irengayobora (Exception) ry’uko Perezida Kagame yakwemererwa kwiyamamariza manda ya gatatu mu mwaka w’2017. Nanone ariko abifuzaga iryo vugururwa nta mpamvu zumvikana bagaragaje uretse kuvuga ngo Kagame niwe wenyine ushoboye kuyobora u Rwanda. Icyabateraga gutanga iyo mpamvu ya nyirarureshwa twese turakizi, ni iterabwoba n’igitugu bashyizweho ! Igishimishije rero ni uko mu kwandika bwa nyuma (version finale) ingingo y’172 hashatswe uburyo bwa gihanga bwo gupfunyikira Paul Kagame ikibiribiri, mu mvugo y’abanyamategeko : uburenganzira yifuzaga barabumwima !
Ngaho nawe isomere witonze, wirebere uko Paul Kagame, nka Perezida ucyuye igihe, yimwa n’iri tegeko ububasha bwo kuzongera kwiyamamaza.
Igika cya mbere : « Perezida wa Repubulika uri ku buyobozi mu gihe iri Tegeko Nshinga rivuguruye ritangira gukurikizwa akomeza manda yatorewe….
Ni ukuvuga manda yatorewe mu 2010 ikaba izarangira mu 2017. Bisobanuye ko iyi ngingo izi neza ko Paul Kagame atari mushya, ahubwo ari Perezida ucyuye igihe, urimo gusoza manda ye ya kabiri .
Igika cya kabiri : « Hatabangamiwe ibiteganywa mu ngingo ya 101 y’iri Tegeko Nshinga, hitawe ku busabe bw’Abanyarwanda bwabaye mbere y’uko iri Tegeko Nshinga rivuguruye ritangira gukurikizwa, bushingiye ku bibazo byihariye u Rwanda rwasigiwe n’amateka mabi rwanyuzemo n’inzira igihugu cyafashe yo kuyivanamo, ibimaze kugerwaho no kubaka umusingi w’iterambere rirambye; hashyizwehomanda imwe y’imyaka irindwi (7) ikurikira isozwa rya manda ivugwa mu gika cya mbere cy’iyi ngingo……
Aha ntabwo itegeko rivuga ngo « tugabiye Paul Kagame manda y’imyaka irindwi y’ubuntu kuko ari umuntu w’akataraboneka « ! Oya, siko rivuga. Rigennye gusa ko kubera ibibazo bishingiye ku mateka, Perezida uzakurikiraho azakenera igihe kingana n’imyaka irindwi kugira ngo abishakire ibisubizo bityo habone gutangira manda z’imyaka itanu (quinquenat) nk’uko biteganywa n’ingingo nshya y’101. Ni ukuvuga ko umukandida wese uzatsinda amatora mu 2017 azaba atorewe manda y’imyaka irindwi. Abaturage nibatugirira icyizere tuzaba dutorewe imyaka irindwi .
Abakwiza impuha ko nta matora azabaho mu 2017 barishuka ! Manda y’Umukuru w’igihugu itandukanye cyane na manda ya Guverineri cyangwa Ambasaderi bajyaho bahawe ibaruwa ya nominasiyo kandi bagakurwaho n’ibaruwa y’uwabashyizeho (Revocation) . Manda ya Perezida wa Repubulika iratorerwa, buri gihe !
Naho abakomeje guteza urujijo ngo mu 2017 nta matora azabaho ahubwo hazashyirwaho Leta y’ « Inzibacyuho » babiterwa no kwitiranya ibidasa . Kuba iyi ngingo y’172 yanditse mu GICE bita « Ingingo zisoza n’iz’inzibacyuho « ( gikubiyemo ingingo zigena ibizakorwa mbere no mu gihe cyo gutangira gukurikiza itegeko rishya) ntawe bikwiye kujijisha; ntaho bihuriye na ya Guverinoma y’Inzibacyuho yateganywaga n’amasezerano ya Arusha!
Igika cya gatatu: « Ibiteganywa mu ngingo ya 101 y’ iri Tegeko Nshinga bitangira gukurikizwa nyuma ya manda y’imyaka irindwi (7) ivugwa mu gika cya kabiri (2) cy’iyi ngingo ».
Aha ni uburyo bwo gusubiramo ko Manda z’imyaka itanu (quinquenat) zizatangira gukurikizwa mu mwaka wa 2024. Perezida uzatorwa icyo gihe (2024)azaba atorewe imyaka itanu , akazaba kandi adashobora gutorwa incuro zirenze ebyiri.
Ku batumva neza ikinyarwanda byaba byiza basomye uko iyi ngingo yanditse mu rurimi rw’Icyongereza ndetse no mu Gifaransa , ntaho rwose iha Paul Kagame uburenganzira bwo kwiyamamariza manda ya gatatu :
*Mu Cyongereza : »
« The President of the Republic in office at the time this revised Constitution comes into force continues to serve the term of office for which he was elected. Without prejudice to Article 101 of this Constitution, considering the petitions submitted by Rwandans that preceded the coming into force of this revised Constitution, which were informed by the particular challenges of Rwanda’s tragic history and the choice made to overcome them, the progress so far achieved and the desire to lay a firm foundation for sustainable development, a seven (7) year Presidential term of office is established and shall follow the completion of the term of office referred to in Paragraph one of this Article. The provisions of Article 101 of this Constitution shall be applicable after the expiry of a seven (7) year term referred to in Paragraph 2 of this Article « .
*Mu Gifaransa :
« Le Président de la République en exercice lors de l’entrée en vigueur de la présente Constitution continue à exercer le mandat pour lequel il a été élu.
Sans préjudice des dispositions de l’article 101 de la présente Constitution, compte tenu des pétitions présentées par le Peuple rwandais avant l’entrée en vigueur de la présente Constitution révisée, basées sur des défis sans précédent résultant du passé tragique qu’ a connu le Rwanda et la voie choisie pour les surmonter, les progrès déjà réalisés et le désir de poser une fondation solide pour le développement durable, un mandat Présidentiel de sept (7) ans est établi et prend effet à l’expiration du mandat visé à l’alinéa premier du présent article. Les dispositions de l’article 101 de la présente Constitution prennent effet après l’expiration du mandat de sept (7) ans visé à l’alinéa 2 du présent article ».
3.Hirya y’ibigaragara
Iyi ngingo y’172 yavuzweho menshi, ndetse bamwe bagashaka kuyivugisha ibyo itavuga . Icy’ukuri ni uko irondogora bitari ngombwa . Ariko icy’ingenzi ni uko isoza itemereye Perezida ucyuye igihe ariwe Paul Kagame kongera kwiyamamaza. Uretse kumwemerera gukomeza no gusoza manda yatorewe mu 2010, igishya iyi ngingo igena ni uko mbere yo gutangiza manda zimara imyaka itanu(quinquenat) ziteganywa n’ingingo y’101 ivuguruye, hazabaho manda imwe y’imyaka irindwi (septenat) izatangira mu mwaka wa 2017. Bishatse kuvuga ko mu matora ya Perezida wa Repubulika ataha, tuziyamamariza manda y’imyaka irindwi.
Nanone ariko iyi ngingo y’172 n’ubwo yibutsa ibikorwa ngo by’agatangaza byagezweho, ntaho igena ko Perezida ucyuye igihe (Paul Kagame) ahawe ububasha busesuye bwo kuziyamamariza iriya manda y’imyaka irindwi.
Nibyumvikane neza rero ko Perezida Paul Kagame naramuka abaye umukandida mu mwaka w’2017 azaba ari Umukandida utemewe n’Itegekonshinga(Candidat anti-constitutionnel) . Abagomba kubimenya barangije kubitera imboni. Abatabizi bo bakicwa no kutabimenya!
N’aya mahanga asanzwe atera inkunga u Rwanda nayo yarangije kubyumva, ategereje gusa igihe gikwiye ngo akoze isoni abibwira ko bashobora kwikorera ibyo bashatse byose batitaye ku mategeko y’ibihugu byabo , amahame n’amasezerano mpuzamahanga Leta zabo zashyizeho umukono.

Ms. Christine Lagarde, Managing Director, The International Monetary Fund, 700 19th St NW, Washington, DC 20431, United States
Dr. Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank, 1818 H St NW, Washington, DC 20433, United States
Dear Ms. Lagarde and Dr. Kim,
RE: Cronyism will plunge Rwanda into chaos if left unchecked by the country’s financiers
I begin my letter by thanking you for supporting my home country, Rwanda. In 2016 alone, your two agencies will lend Rwanda nearly a half billion dollars — the World Bank’s loans and grants amount USD285 million while the IMF’s Standby credit totals USD204 million.
The purpose of this open letter, however, is about cronyism in Rwanda. Case in point is the Kigali Convention Centre (KCC), financed by the larger part of the USD400 million Eurobond the Kagame government raised in 2013. Shockingly, a company by the name of Prime Holdings Ltd is a major shareholder with 50% shares.
Now, Prime Holdings Ltd’s notoriety is documented in the IMF’s records, as I discovered when researching for my new book, Kagame’s Economic Mirage(2016). Back in 2006, the IMF concluded that Rwanda’s “adherence to conditionality was poor” because, among other things, “the publication of Prime Holdings’ audit was not met.” At the time, Rwanda was building two major hotels that would be the launchpad of its tourism business. Prime Holdings Ltd was in charge of this project.
In response to the IMF’s findings, the Kagame government admitted that Prime Holdings was corrupt and should not be in business. In a letter dated May 18, 2006, to the then IMF’s Managing Director, Mr. Rodrigo de Rato y Figaredo, Rwanda’s Finance Minister, James Musoni, and Governor of the National Bank of Rwanda, Francois Kanimba, described Prime Holdings Ltd as follows:
“With a view to enhancing transparency related to Prime Holdings’ two hotels, we have published a financial audit and business plan of Prime Holdings in December 2005 (missed end-September performance criterion). As the auditors concluded that “it was not possible to determine if proper books of account were kept by the hotels”, we have canceled the contract with the management company and are in negotiations with the Intercontinental group to take on the management of the hotels.”
So now, how does the discredited Prime Holdings Ltd which the Kagame government terminated a decade ago reemerge to own 50% of KCC? That is not all. Crystal Ventures Ltd (CVL) is also a shareholder in KCC. Owned by the ruling party, the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), CVL is synonymous with cronyism in Rwanda. Without government contracts in building roads, chartering executive jets to President Paul Kagame, or constructing a stadium for a local municipality, CVL would collapse. CVL is the most critical deterrent to domestic and foreign investment in Rwanda — and explains why Rwanda’s top rankings in the World Bank’s Doing Business indicators hardly make a difference.
There is no question that we are witnessing in KCC entrenched cronyism via state capture by the ruling elite in Rwanda. Prime Holdings Ltd is a shadowy front. It does not have an address or website. Prime Holdings’ premises in Kimihurura were turned into military officers’ quarters by President Kagame in 2009. Rwandans thought we had seen the last of this mafia-like company, only to reemerge, in control of even much larger assets — KCC.
As Rwanda’s leading financiers, the IMF and the World Bank have an obligation to hold the Kagame government accountable to transparency. We urge your two agencies to leverage your lending and surveillance powers to intervene before Rwanda’s ruling elite bankrupts the nation.
At the very least, the government of Rwanda should explain how, when, and why it resuscitated Prime Holdings Ltd, after assuring the IMF that the corrupt company closed ten years ago.
1. In order to materialize the plans of ISHEMA Party and the New Generation Coalition of leaders,
2. In order to honor the promise we made unto Rwandans to return to Rwanda to exercise our political rights and work hand in hand with the people as we struggle to build a nation where democracy prevails and based on values of the Truth , Intrepidness and Social justice,
3. Implementing the resolutions of the Congress of Ishema Party held in Brussels, Belgium from the 15th to the 17th of January 2016;

The Commonwealth Secretariat welcomes Rev Father Thomas NAHIMANA and his delegation.
1.After his visits in Australia, Canada, the United States of America and at the European Union office, Reverend Father Thomas NAHIMANA, the presidential candidate of the Rwandan opposition for 2017 elections and his delegation met the Commonwealth Secretariat on July 4th, 2016.
2.It was on the agenda of the trip held in London, UK, from July 3rd to 5th, 2016 on which Rev Fr Thomas NAHIMANA was accompanied by a delegation of six politicians from ISHEMA Party and the New Generation Coalition.
3.The main objective of the visit was to discuss with the officials of the Commonwealth Secretariat the main challenges facing the people of Rwanda, especially the youth, challenges that hinder the promotion of Democracy in Rwanda. These are evidenced by the bad governance style of the leaders and the acolytes of the ruling party, the Rwandese Patriotic Front (RPF) who want to overstay in power and to continue the appropriation of all the national wealth at the expense of the social welfare.
4.A further topic raised was the 2017 presidential elections and the 2018 parliamentarians in which ISHEMA Party and the New Generation Coalition decided to participate. The delegation exposed all the modus operandi used by the RPF in order to block the candidatures of the true opposition.
5.The delegation took the opportunity to present to the officials of the Commonwealth Secretariat the campaign manifesto titled “TOGETHER TO MODERNIZE RWANDA” which will be launched and shared with the Rwandans by Rev Fr Thomas NAHIMANA in upcoming days.
6.It should be recalled that Rwanda joined the Commonwealth in 2009 on the condition that the government of Rwanda should make efforts to abide with the principles and values of the Commonwealth which are Democracy, Good Governance, Rule of Law, Human Rights as well as Social and Economic Development.
7.Rev. Fr. Thomas NAHIMANA and his delegation appreciate the officials of the Commonwealth Secretariat for their hospitality, their attention and their inputs during the discussions held in mutual respect.

L’enquête française sur l’attentat en 1994 contre l’avion du président rwandais Habyarimana est relancée. Selon l’AFP, qui a eu accès au dossier, les juges français ont lancé une nouvelle commission rogatoire internationale pour entendre le général Kaymba Nyamwasa, ex-chef d’état-major rwandais. Cet ancien proche du président Kagame, entré en dissidence et exilé en Afrique du Sud, accuse depuis plusieurs années Paul Kagame d’être responsable de l’attaque qui a coûté la vie à Juvénal Habyarimana et constitué un épisode déclencheur du génocide. L’enquête française sur l’attentat contre l’avion du président Habyarimana, une première fois close à l’été 2014, puis rouverte 3 mois plus tard, avait été une nouvelle fois clôturée sans avancées majeures en janvier dernier.
