Major Hassan Mwungeri was born from a Hutu father and a Tutsi mother who was close to the royal family, born in Uganda grew up in Uganda like many RP/RPF soldiers.

Real force up for the wage of war 59 with Charlie mobile force in 1992, unfortunately most of their commanders were eliminated by Kagame’s poor intelligence services on his arrival supported by the Uganda army.

He always maintained the ideas of uniting people, he believed that Hutu /Tutsi were just words he was proud of having both parents from those ethnic groups.

He attended army cadet course in Jinja, as an NRA officer with parents originally from Rwanda had also been part of the Rwandese community.  As an army officer, on arrival in Rwanda Hassan Mwungeri was Major and immediately served as officer in charge of A company.

He would speak to soldiers about the importance of uniting our poor and ignorant citizens, always would take the words Hutu/Tutsi as a joke, and so he repeatedly called himself a Hutu and would tell peers that we are all the same, there is no difference from all of us.

Major Hassan Mwungeri was always sorrounded by forces at war

One of his close friends who was a Tutsi too of whom they grew up together in Mpororo Uganda, always kept a close eye on Hassan Mwungeri because he was aware of the dangers of being Hutu in the RPA/RPF. He would ask him to maintain his voice or even avoid some of the words he normally used in his proudness, but Hassan was the commander who behaved like a philosopher, he was ahead of everyone. He believed that ignorance was the issue between the two ethnic groups; he thought that Twa’s were just an innocent ethnic group and vulnerable.

During the attack of Ruhengeri on the 8th/march/1993 which was aimed to highlight the RPA potential and the capacity of RPF, indeed, the attack was also aimed to force the Habyarimana government  to stay in negotiations  Arusha peace initiative be respected.

Hassan Mwungeri who was good commander was transferred from 157 to Charlie mobile force, the RPA was worried that he will reveal the killings of innocent civilians.

Hassan always believed in Mandela and saw him as his role model; Hassan’s attitude was Kagame’s main worry because he fought wars and always objected the killings of civilians.

Gen Ibingira who always pleaded to Kagame that Hassan Mwungeri was dangerous because who did not agree with the RPA system, and had always complained from day one about divisions and nepotism, was relieved when Kagame allowed him to deploy hi to Charlie mobile force with a group soldiers who eliminated him, Major Hassan Mwungeri was killed near Basse by his own colleagues.

Dona Tukahirwa was an excellent intelligence Officer who was sharp and successful in his work, had worked alongside Kagame in the directorate of military intelligence.

He had worked as an operation Intelligence officer for senior officer Sam Byaruhanga, Dona operated in many areas of Rwanda and had shown his disappointment due to the death of late Sam Byaruhanga who had been killed following Major Kagame’s orders.

The death of Kizza was as a result of the death of both men Hassan Mwungeri and Sam Byaruhanga, Kizza and Sam had always been close friends and only enjoyed wars, shared evening chats sitting around fire, singing, they never considered Kagame as an officer because he was never at war and so their experience was different.

Major Kagame was always nervous of respectable commanders, he thought that his command would be successful if he only promoted young commanders who do not know his weaknesses however would only succeed after eliminating the senior commanders who expressed opposite views.

Another officer who was killed due to the catastrophe of Captain Sam Byaruhanga’s was Captain Nshoza, who was born in Mbarara Kyamugoranyi, the son of Nyiragakomo is remembered for being a fearless fighter, officer in charge B company in Charlie Mobile force died the same date of 8th/03/1993 when many officers who had opposite views when a number of officers men and women were eliminated, had been one of Sam Byaruhanga’s body guards.

Captain Nshoza was killed on Nyamagamba hill, because Kagame’s intelligence service believed that he will revenge due to Captain Sam Byaruhanga’s death.

Prior to Captain Donna Tukahirwa’s death, he was misled to plant a landmine which caused injuries that led to the death of senior officer Gashumba Kijana following the instructions of Major Kagame.

One of the soldiers asked Captain Donna Tukahirwa that afande Gashumba was going through the same route, immediately was told to ‘’shut up’’. The following minutes was injuries and death of young men on the entourage of the young commander Gashumba John.

Senior officer Gashumba who always said that he was a Twa by ethnicity, was born and grew up in Mutara Rwanda near Rwempasha, he always said that his father was a servant to Ryumugabe the granda father of Rukayaya, Rutuyuyu Alex Baguma, and Asumani Mukongoto. He later died of poisonous injection administered by Rutatina in Rubaya sickbay, according to the reports we hold Gashumba had to be injected as he had survived the landmine and his wounds were treatable. Like many crucial officers, he was killed because of being close to officers such as Captain Sam Byaruhanga, Donna Tukahirwa, and Ndugute Kalisoliso.

Senior officer Gashumba, in 1982 he crossed the border and entered Uganda, as a young man with an intention to join the NRA, Served as a private soldier in 9th battalion, rose in ranks day by day in the National Resistance Army ranks and was later recognised in Gen Fred Rwigema’s lines of forces to attack Rwanda.

In Rwanda he was an experienced officer who planned and executed wars, unfortunately he criticised Kagame’s system and challenged the discrimination of Hutu.  He was also a close friend to Kayitare Vedaste (Intare Batinya) who was also unwilling to accept Kagame’s legacy.

He told Kayitare that Kagame was not the right person because he is guided by discrimination towards Hutu’s and his behaviour was not suitable for leading a united nation.
