Kayumba Nyamwasa

On Friday 29th August 2014, the magistrate count in South African has found four men guilty of trying to murder Rwanda’s former army chief and an opposition activist; General Kayumba Nyamwasa, in South Africa
In June 2010, General Nyamwasa survived assassination attempt in which he was shot in a stomach.

The General had been living in exile in South Africa following disagreement with the president Kagame.
Magistrate said the plot was politically motivated and emanated “from a certain group of people from Rwanda”.
Considering that the General Nyamwasa had become a political opponent of the current Rwandan regime, the’ ’politically motivated assassination plot’’ could not come from any other group than the current regime, governance and leader who were openly opposed by Nyamwasa.

The current Rwandan regime has a documented track record of assassinations and assassination attempts since 1998 former internal minister was assassinated in Kenya, where he was living in exile. The Kenyan authority identified a Rwandan embassy official to have masterminded the plot.
