A failure to adhere to the RPF initial principles is costing RPF, Kagame and the whole country dearly. Many Rwandans think that Kagame has gone very far and possibly has crossed the red line by locking up his former comrades in the Rwandan liberation. The tricks that removed President Pasteur Bizimungu were hatched and nurtured by Lt Col. Rose Kabuye when she was a member of the parliament and other RPF confidants smearing mud on the most honest man in RPF circles until President Bizimungu was brought down. Little did Lt. Col. Rose Kabuye know that the same tricks will be applied to her or her immediate family? Kinyanrwanda proverb “ INKONI IKUBISE MUKEBA UYIRENZA URUGO”. Literally meaning a stick that has beaten your co-wife should be thrown away.

Kagame with the ball

As RPF and KAGAME are consumed in fear and panic, they think their old tactics could work, eliminate those you don’t want or intimidate them, and force them to apologize. This time it was not only rejected by the RPF historicals but is evident to everyone that Kagame cannot kill everybody as he used to kill one by none. As the fire within the RPF is burning unabated, the RPF and Kagame called for a meeting in which a lady called ODA GASINZIGWA on the orders of President Kagame spilled the beans against her colleagues who did not only participate in the war, but  were in fact instrumental in shaping RPF we have and see today.

Madam ODA GASINZIGWA the commissioner of RPF accused her colleagues Lt Col Rose Kabuye, Mary Baine, Ambassador Joy Kanyange, Anne Gahongayire and Immy Camarade  of tarnishing the RPF image and spreading harmful propaganda against the RPF with intention of creating disobedience of the population against the RPF regime. She told RPF meeting that these ladies should apologize, which the latter rejected as inappropriate and which hunting.

However, as the saying goes even the best seeds, you will find some barren ones among them that will not germinate, here is John Bosco Rusagara the brother of Gen.Frank Rusagara who has publicly disowned his brother to an extent of saying that Gen. Frank Rusagara is a distant family relative. Similarly Edda Mukagwiza the former Rwandan Minister of Justice and Ambassador to Canada disowned her sister who is an active member of Rwanda National Congress (RNC). Whether disowning their relatives will save them from Kagame’s anger against those perceived to be enemies, it remains to be seen, but history shows us that dictators are not pleased by submission but will always eliminate by suspicion.

Interestingly Oda GASINZIGWA is behaving like Satan who is whispering God that is (Satan) more royal to God than angles. How on earth could this ODA lecture people like Rose Kabuye and the rest about RPF principles?  RPF and its entire leadership should agree in private if they don’t want to go public that they made a mistake and serious one by incarcerating Gen. Frank Rusagara, Col. Tom Byabagamba, Cpt. David Kabuye, these are the sons of RPF who should be respected, honored not humiliated in handcuffs and denied a bail moreover a constitutional right on concocted charges.

It should be RPF to apologize not these people who sacrificed a good life they would have enjoyed in big Cities, like New York, London, Paris, Brussels, just name a nice City, most of these guys would have had a good life there. They abandoned all these for what they thought would be the lasting solution for Rwandan problems. Unfortunately, they jumped from a flying pan to fire, fighting genocide in which many Rwandans both Hutus and Tutsis lost their lives.  They instead installed another monster which is not only killing Rwandans but went even to the neighboring country to kill.

The question however is for how long RPF and Kagame will fool Rwandans by killing, intimidating or lying?

The list of those who have disappeared, killed, tortured, is no longer a secret not only to Rwandans but the whole of international community. Just recently in the case of Gen. Kayumba Nyamwasa, who by just a whisker survived an assassination in South Africa by the Kagame hit men, the South African judge confirmed that   they would be killers were acting on the orders of President Kagame.  He is a man who has no mercy for those who supported him to get power.  As greed, and corrupt, obsessed with wealth, he has evolved into a serial killer who with his narrow mind thinks he can solve political issues with a barrel of a gun.

Kagame is a bad student; he has failed to learn from even his immediate predecessors whose family is wandering in the wild, no one can even see their Tombs, the ghosts are probably haunting this man who usurped the RPF leadership after the sudden death of its founder and the Rwandan hero Gen Fred Rwigyema.  Kagame has made the life for all those who participated in the liberation war miserable, all the children of fallen comrades are languishing in poverty while Kagame and his yes men like Boniface RUCAGU, BAMPORIKI, TITO RUTAREMARA and an old man and one of the founders of RPF who cannot stand on his two legs and advise president Kagame that enough with blood is enough. This is what most people in the opposition are telling president Kagame that unless you change people will resist and your consequences might be as bad as your predecessors.

Nobody would wish to see, young CYOMORO , Ange Kagame, and your wife meeting the fate in fact you have created for the family of the former leaders, not because they have a case to answer but  your own fear for their popularity  that may be would cost you power. Indeed, the arrest and humiliation of the RDF senior officers I have mentioned above should be a reminder to all the sober minded remaining members of RDF that no one is safe under the Kagame regime. Together we need to act and act now, because the information we have is alarming as more senior officers perceived to be sympathetic to their colleagues or allergic to Kagame’s behiour are on the hit list.
