A scandalous video showcasing a kidnapping in broad daylight in what looks like Musanze district surfaced 05/13/2021 on social media.

Kagame’s security forces kidnap yet another young man in broad daylight, 05/13/2021

Rwanda police’s spin doctors subsequently issued a polished “damage control” statement, obviously presenting the ” suspect” as a criminal: A “drug-using thief who had absconded from police custody before being apprehended by undercover policemen. ” Further noting that: ” The two agents seen striking the suspect were also being held in custody and would be penalized accordingly. ”

Rwanda Police’s damage control statements dismissing the kidnapping!

This explanation leaves A LOT to be desired. For starters, who in Rwanda would dream of absconding police custody knowing their shoot-to-kill track record? When has RNP ever used such force and means in apprehending a single drug-using thief? Afande Munyuza’s spin doctors deserve a well done for de-escalating this latest “security services” blunder but clearly, the explanation doesn’t match the problem and by the looks of it, RNP is just “taking one for the team” here.

This appalling incident is a common occurrence in a country that seeks to host the prestigious Commonwealth assembly of nations!

Kagame’s Rwanda is a military dictatorship with a brain-drained army. The only intellect allowed is blind obedience because where the CIC feels threatened by the assertiveness of his officers, there is no room for gallantry. 27 years after RPA’s remarkable victory, martial law is still in vigor in Rwanda! “Law and order in the hands of goons. “ As his generals now remind each other bitterly.

This savagery truly needs to stop.
