Behind the presidential curtain: Kibungo
Recently Dr Bizimana Damascene claimed that Rwandan Genocide survivors should be thankful to then RPF soldiers ( Inkotanyi ) because they owed them and not God their survival.
Not only is this Ignorant Dr guilty of blasphemy , he is also a very bad liar.
Paul Kagame , Kayumba Nyamwasa and Fred ibingira would attest to this.
From 1992 , RPF had within its ranks commandants who had undergone a 6 month training called ubutemu ( they were mainly taught to kill using their bare hands ,clubs and knives ) under the supervision of Kayumba Nyamwasa ‘s DMI.
They were instructed to kill in the main towns all over the country and to throw the bodies near military baracks and encampments so as to blame those murders on the Habyarimana regime.
This was happening as President Habyarimana was busy brokering a peaceful resolution to the Rwandan conflict .
Here are some of the criteria that were used in selecting those to be trained:
They mainly had to be from Rwanda because they would manage to blend in with the people easily as shamba boys for example or vendors in towns.
These soldiers mainly had joined RPF alone .This was important because the commandants , or technicians as we called them were not to be identified .We were kept in the dark regarding them. Precautions were taken for them to be taken to their places of training using the cover of the night ,the same going for their material and food supply.
But information always finds a way of leaking particularly when it involves the murder of innocent civilians and politicians .
In case the Dr Bizimana did not know, RPF technicians were killing innocents as early as 1992 in Nyanza ,Gahini , Kibungo ,Kigali.
Louise Mushikiwabo ‘s own brother Landuald Ndasingwa was murdered by these technicians along with his family , not that she seems to mind today. Perhaps she is just in denial about it.
Those infiltrated soldiers did join the Interahamwe some times so as not to arise suspicion , just like it is done today with Intore. The likes of Froduald Karamira and Kajuga Robert are the most famous in this category.
These infiltrated soldiers are sometimes considered a myth or an affabulation to tarnish the good name of the RPF “saviors” that Kagame and his regime have been portraying in the media even though the reality is strikingly different.
Some of the atrocities of the RPF will never be brought to light . Those who could testify to these have been silenced in death forever .
The fact remains however , that the difficult situation we are in since the death of Fred Rwigema and the highjacking of RPF by Paul Kagame and his men has kept Rwanda in this blind alley where we are told only one side of the story over and over again. Yes Interahamwe killed . But so did RPF and to this day,people continue to be murdered , disappeared and bullied.
If Kagame really ended the war in 1994, why are people still running away from Rwanda in masses? Who are they running from since the interahamwe are no longer in the picture !
