Rwanda : Paul Kagame, le président prêt à tout pour le pouvoir

La journaliste britannique Michela Wrong publie un ouvrage sans complaisance sur le président rwandais. Un ouvrage pour lequel elle a recueilli une somme impressionnante de témoignages sur la violence exercée par cet homme depuis plus de 30 ans.

Michela Wrong signe un portrait sans concession du président rwandais Paul Kagame. Un portrait qui balaie près d’un demi-siècle d’histoire de cet homme devenu un acteur central de la politique africaine, depuis son exil ougandais jusqu’à son omniprésidence rwandaise, sa soif de pouvoir et sa détermination à se maintenir au sommet et à ne supporter aucun obstacle sur sa route. Michela Wrong, journaliste britannique parcourt l’Afrique depuis plus de 30 ans. Elle a pu rencontrer de nombreux acteurs de cette ascension.

En lisant votre livre, on a le sentiment que le monde entier s’est trompé pendant près de 30 ans sur cet homme ?

Au Rwanda, les opposants ou ses anciens alliés, ceux qui ont commencé le combat avec lui, parlent de Paul Kagame comme un “président par accident”. Ce n’est pas le sauveur qu’il aime incarner, ce n’était pas lui le chef ou le fondateur de son mouvement, le FPR. À l’origine, il y a un groupe d’hommes, essentiellement des anglophones rwandais venus d’Ouganda où ils étaient en exil. Paul Kagame a réussi à s’imposer progressivement en faisant le vide autour de lui. La plupart de ceux qui l’accompagnaient au début ont été marginalisés , emprisonnés, contraints à l’exil ou ils ont disparu dans des conditions mystérieuses quand ils n’ont pas été abattus.

Kagame, is “a Brutal Dictator, and One of the West’s Best Friends” – Anjan Sundaram

His grip on power is nearly unassailable. Since becoming president over two decades ago, he has extended constitutional term limits, shut down the free press and clamped down on dissent. Reporters have been driven into exile, even killed; opposition figures have been imprisoned or found dead. His country has been reduced to tyranny.

But this dictator isn’t a pariah, like Vladimir Putin of Russia or Bashar al-Assad of Syria. Instead, he’s one of the West’s best and most reliable friends: Paul Kagame, president of Rwanda. Since coming to power in 1994, Mr. Kagame has won his way into the West’s good graces. He’s been invited to speak — on human rights, no less — at universities such as Harvard, Yale and Oxford, and praised by prominent political leaders including Bill Clinton, Tony Blair and the former U.N. general secretary Ban Ki-moon.

UBUTUMWA BW’ISHYAKA ISHEMA RY’U RWANDA KUWA 6 MATA 2023

UBUTUMWA BW’ISHYAKA ISHEMA RY’U RWANDA KU ITARIKI YA 06 MATA 2023.

Banyarwanda Banyarwandakazi namwe nshuti z’u Rwanda.

  1. Imyaka 29 irashize twibuka umunsi u Rwanda rwaciwe umutwe maze ababisha bakirara mu benegihugu bakabicamo abatagira ingano muri gahunda yari yatangiye tariki ya 01 Ukwakira 1990 i Kagitumba muri Byumba, n’uyu munsi ikaba igikomeje. Itariki ya 06 Mata 1994 izahora yibukwa nk’umunsi winjije u Rwanda mu mperuka y’igice cy’intambara cyagejeje FPR Inkotanyi ku butegetsi.
  2. Koko rero, ihanurwa ry’indege yari itwaye Perezida Juvenal Habyarimana, Perezida w’Uburundi Cyprien Ntaryamira, Umugaba w’ingabo Déogratias Nsabimana n’abandi bari kumwe, ryaciye igihugu umutwe, haba mu butegetsi bwa gisikare no mu bwa gisiviri haba icyuho mu buyobozi, abaturage basubiranamo.
  3. Mu gihe tuzirikana aya mateka akakaye igihugu cyacu cyanyuzemo reka twibukiranye ibi bikurikira:

  • A. Kuva u Rwanda rwahitamo kugendera ku matwara ya Repubulika na Demokarasi, igice cy’abanyarwanda bari batsimbaraye ku ndonke bakuraga ku butegetsi bw’agatsiko ka cyami cyahisemo guhunga u Rwanda no kurugabaho ibitero by’Inyenzi, byahitanye abantu benshi kugeza mu mwaka wa 1967. Ibyo bitero byari bigamije kugarura Umwami, n’ingoma Kalinga igakomeza igatamirizwa ibishahu by’abahutu.
  • B. Ibitero by’Inyenzi binaniwe habayeho agahenge maze hategurwa intambara karundura yari igamije kwica abanyarwanda benshi bo mu bwoko bw’abahutu kugira ngo hasibangane icyitwa majorité cyatumye ubwami butsindwa ruhenu muri Kamaparampaka ya 1961.
  • C. Igitero cy’itariki ya 01 Ukwakira 1990 cyaje gifite intego yo kumaraho abahutu bose aho bishoboka n’abatutsi bashoboraga kubangamira uwo mugambi mubisha. Intangiriro ya jenoside yakorewe abahutu ni iyo ngiyo.
  • D. Ku itariki ya 06 Mata 1994, Inkotanyi zishe umukuru w’igihugu n’umukuru w’ingabo zigamije guteza akavuyo no kurema icyuho zanyuramo ngo zigere ku butegetsi. Ni uko icyari jenoside yakorerwaga abahutu cyiyongeraho jenoside yakorewe abatutsi. Mu gihe cyose abasirikare bakuru b’ingabo z’igihugu, (FAR) basabye FPR guhagarika intambara ngo bajye gukiza abaturage bari bahanganye, Inkotanyi zo zarabyanze ndetse zibwira isi yose ko jenoside yarangiye, ngo si ngombwa kuza gutabara, ngo ndetse uzaza gutabara zizamurwanya. Aho hari tariki ya 30 Mata 1994, hashize iminsi 24 indege imaze guhanurwa. Ku rundi ruhande ni ko FPR ikoresheje abatekinisiye (techniciens) bayo bari baracengeye mu mashyaka menshi yashishikarizaga kandi ikerekera abahutu kwica abatutsi kugira ngo koko bigaragare ko abatutsi bari gukorerwa jenoside. Abo batekinisiye ni nabo bafataga amafoto bakajya kuyerekana nk’ibimenyetso ntakuka by’ibirimo kuba.

5. Twihanganishije kandi dufashe mu mugongo abo bose babuze ababo kandi turifuriza abatuvuyemo gukomeza kuruhukira mu mahoro. By’umwihariko ariko, ndahamagarira Abanyarwanda b’ingeri zose ngira nti: “Aho gushaka imbaraga zisenya igihugu mu guhembera umujinya, dushakire imbaraga zubaka mu kwimika kuvugisha ukuri ku byabaye kuko ari byo bizatugeza ku bwiyunge bw’abanyarwanda”.

6. Ntituzahwema guharanira gushyiraho mu Rwanda ubutegetsi bugendera ku mategeko, buzaha ubutabera buri munyarwanda wagizweho ingaruka n’ubwicanyi, kandi bugahana bwihanukiriye ababiba inzangano mu Banyarwanda kimwe n’abahohotera uburenganzira bwa muntu bose.

Rusesabagina Release and its Meaning to Rwandans

While still celebrating the release of Paul Rusesabagina, the ‘Hotel Rwanda’ hero, interpretations differ on Kagame’s sudden change of mind on the issue. From “no one can bully us to release Rusesabagina” to “we are people who like moving forward” only in less than 3 months, observers read a volume, the majority seeing in it a clear sign of the decaying influence of a dictatorship. Here are some of the points of view.

‘Hotel Rwanda’ hero Paul Rusesabagina returning home to San Antonio.

Paul Rusesabagina, who hid more than 1,000 potential victims of genocide in Rwanda in 1994, has come home to San Antonio. 

Kidnapped and imprisoned for 2½ years by a Rwandan regime lambasted by the European Union for its human rights abuses, Rusesabagina, 68, was released last weekend and landed Wednesday afternoon at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport. From there, he was to enter Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio.

“They have LANDED!” Kathleen Tobin Krueger, wife of the late Ambassador Robert Krueger and a close friend of the Rusesabagina family, said in a text message just before 4 p.m.

At BAMC, he’ll be cared for in a facility known for its treatment of former prisoners of war and hostages. Its patients have included three Americans held captive for five years by rebels in Colombia and WNBA star Brittney Griner, who was released in December from a Russian penal colony where she was held on drug charges.

RUSESABAGINA TO BE FREED FROM KIGALI PRISON: ON WHAT CONDITIONS?

On March 24th, 2023; the government of Rwanda through its Minisiter of Justice, informed the public of the upcoming release of political prisoners sentenced over charges related to military attacks by the rebel movement FLN (Forces de Libération Nationale), the armed wing of the MRCD (Mouvement Rwandais pour le Changement Démocratique). Paul Rusesabagina is said to be among those to be released. While the government of Rwanda is advancing the presidential grace a the sole reason of this release, diffferent observers think that foreign governments might have played a key role in brokering the deal to set free Rusesabagina. Here is what is known on this case.

In August 2020, Paul Rusesabagina, a belgian citizen and US permanent resident boarded a plane he believed was heading to Bujumbura, Burundi, where he was expected to deliver key speeches in conferences on peace and reconciliation. It is believed that he was drugged, and slept to wake up at Kigali International airport where he was arrested immediately. He was held incommunicado for about ten days before he was presented to media. The Government of Rwanda kept changing versions of what really happened but all brought to conclude that the illegal rendition was masterminded, financed and operated on orders from Paul Kagame himself. Rusesabagina was accused to have formed armed group that aimed at dethrowing Paul Kagame. Along with dozens of former FLN’s combatants, including the movement’s Spokesperson illegally arrested and deported from the Comoros, Rusesabagina faced the court action under what was seen as sham trial. He was sentenced to 25 years.

Rwanda has to investigate killings of opposition members

On this International Right to Truth Day, I want justice for my colleagues who were killed or disappeared while fighting for a truly democratic Rwanda.

Today, we observe the International Day for the Right to the Truth Concerning Gross Human Rights Violations and for the Dignity of Victims. One purpose of this important annual observance, as stated by the United Nations, is to “pay tribute to those who have devoted their lives to, and lost their lives in, the struggle to promote and protect human rights for all”. The list of such people is long in my country, Rwanda. It includes members of opposition groups, independent activists and journalists, among many others.

While all those who fell in the battle to uphold human rights in Rwanda deserve to be remembered and honoured on this day, here I would like to pay special tribute to those who lost their lives, or disappeared, after responding to my call to struggle for the establishment of genuine democracy, respect for human rights and rule of law in our homeland.
