The Former Rwandan diplomat Mr. Jack Bihozagara was announced dead in the notorious Mpimba prison in Burundi. Mr. Bihozagara was instrumental during the Liberation struggle that brought RPF to power in 1994 after the Genocide of the Tutsis and unspeakable massacres of different groups that were either sheltering the Tutsis or were opposed to the murderous regime of the predecessors of President Habyarimana.

The former Rwandan Minister and diplomat was arrested in December 2015 in Burundi, the Burundi intelligence accused him of spying for his country Rwanda. Whatever, reasons that led to his arrest, we can conclude that he has been betrayed and neglected  by the Rwandan government and RPF regime in particular.

However, this does not come as surprises to many people who know very well the operations of the RPF; they use a person and dispose him off at their time of choosing. This old man had already been abandoned and many circles were saying that Mr. Bihozagara had resorted to private life and quit politics.

Why did he come back in active politics?

Despite all mistreatments by the RPF and Kagame in particular who despised and humiliated him, he was recalled by Kagame himself to help him spy on the Burundi authorities and help the RPF operations. It was hard for Mr. Bihozagara to turn down the demand knowing fully the consequences of saying no to a regime compared to North-Korea, or simple called North-Korea of Africa second to Eritrea.

It’s not only Mr. Bihozagara who was used as a disposable tissue, the attack of the Ruhengeri Prison in 1991 opened the gates for Major Theoneste Lizinde, Commander Leonidas Biseruka,  and  Muvunanyambo, however,  none is still alive apart from Commander Biseruka who has been incarcerated for almost his entire life.

The senior former RPF cadres like Seth Sendashonga, Pasteur Bizimungu, Col. Rose Kabuye, Gen. Kayumba Nyamwasa,  Aloysia Inyumba,  in fact all the historicals have been wiped off  from the political podium of the RPF. Just recently, Gen. Frank Rusagara, Tom Byabagamba have been accused of tarnishing the name of the State, but the fact is well known beyond reasonable doubt that the case is about their relative  Dr. David Himbara who is now Kagame critic

The EX-FAR, senoir officer who was persuaded by the RPF, Gen. Laurent Munyakazi was murdered in the Kimironko Prison after being used by the RPF. It’s no coincidence that Gen. Rwarakabije who was the most senior FDLR to surrender to the RPF, has been used and it’s time for him to go. Until recently he has been the Director General of Prisons in which his former colleague was murdered and kept silent.

General Marcel Gatsinzi who was used by the RPF to persuade his colleagues to surrender was kicked out of the government and wisely he has kept a low profile.  It is worth noting that Gen. Rwarakabije ordered his commanders including Ninja who is now a Col. in the RDF to massacre the students of Nyange in Kibuye during the insurgency in 1997 after they disobeyed orders to identify and group themselves along ethnic lines. The list of those who have been used and abandoned in the ranks of RPF is endless and we take this opportunity to send our condolences to the believed family of  Mr. Bihozagara and equally urge the Burundi government and the people of Burundi to hold the unity that has prevented Kagame from penetrating them.

Kagame wanted to divide the people of Burundi, but you have resisted, we pray that you maintain this spirit that has kept the flame of unity burning, remember, united you stand and divided you fall. Whether, Kagame will revenge Mr. Bihozagara or not, your unity will keep him at bay.
