I also thank all editorial team of Inyenyeri News, Inyenyeri Radio and Ms Jennifer Fierberg for all your support and assistance in writing this book. Lastly I want to thank Global Campaign for Rwandans Huma Rights for supporting this book publications so that it can be able to reach as many people as possible. i Introduction I had always loved writing; I’d kept Presidential Curtains as weekly publication, written short stories and had ideas for books. I’d never thought about writing a consolidated story but there came a point where I wanted to share it to try to release myself from the past and its haunting memories. I should explain that I grew up in exile and life shaped me into an ever- wanting man like Oliver Twist. In Charles Dickens, full-length novel “Oliver Twist” the major theme is the classic theme of Good versus Evil. Indeed, the fall out between President Kagame with me and his former comrades who even sacrificed their own lives to bring him to power have been victims of exposing Kagame’s evil. Despite many difficulties I have managed to excel in school and well qualified from University in the UK and working as Psychiatric Mental Health Professional. In my confused mind, I had become the deaf dumb and blind in the captivity of the RPF and Kagame that had captivated me for many years. In this book, I therefore share my experience as body guard of President Paul Kagame since 1992 until 2001. In this book, I also describe what I witnessed in Kagame’s personality, relationship with his troops, decision making, leadership style and his uncontrolled temper. I further analyse some Kagame’s actions using my professional skills and experience as result of working for him. In fact it’s when I left the military i NOBLE MARARA and I became mental health professional specialist that I found Kagame’s state of mind wanting, such as anger, sadness, or jealousy. I therefore used my mental health expertise to analyse his state of mind. There are important historical events that I describe as I witnessed them on the side of those who were making relevant decisions at the RPF headquarters. All that information is provided in a compilation of articles and speeches since 2012. As I write this Book I feel a sense of relief that I was getting my experiences down on paper. Indeed, this book is intended for the world to know more about President Paul Kagame, when it came to writing about difficult and painful events and my experience and Kagame I had to consider what I really wanted to share with Rwandans and the international community because Kagame’s dark side has never been made public and it can only be known by someone like myself who has been very close to him for more than 10 years. This book will help others as well as myself and to inform present and future Rwandan Politicians or professionals, academics and anyone wanting to gain an insight into politics. Indeed, this book will help many people encountering with madness or politicians who not only behave like sycophants but also politically bankrupt. Writing this book is empowering me and it is important for me to tell my truth, my experience with a dictator and for my voice to be heard. Writing makes me stronger and helps me to feel more resilient and know who I really am.

We relied on the Ugandan army on weaponry, ammunition and even withdraw routes whenever needed. Apart from the government support, Uganda like all our neighboring countries, harboured countless Rwanda refuges and sympathising citizens than cared to support our cause. Most of these Rwandans were very wealthy and gave most of their hard- earned wealth to the Rwandese Patriotic Front Cadres worked around the clock to convince everyone how Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) was going to make a historical change.

    L'opposante Victoire Ingabire Libérée De Prison

    A la une / International Rwanda L'opposante Victoire Ingabire libérée de prison Une des principales figures de l'opposition rwandaise, Victoire Ingabire, est sortie de prison, hier, dans le cadre de la libération anticipée de plus de 2 000 prisonniers décidée la veille par le président Paul Kagame qui dirige son pays d'une main de fer depuis près d'un quart de siècle. “Je remercie le Président qui a permis cette libération”, a dit l'opposante alors qu'elle quittait la prison de Mageragere dans la capitale rwandaise, Kigali. “J'espère que cela marque le début de l'ouverture de l'espace politique au Rwanda”, a-t-elle ajouté, appelant M. Kagame à “libérer d'autres prisonniers politiques”. La libération surprise de 2 140 détenus, dont Mme Ingabire et le chanteur Kizito Mihigo, a été décidée lors d'un conseil des ministres, vendredi, au cours duquel une mesure de grâce présidentielle a été approuvée. “Le conseil des ministres présidé par le président Paul Kagame a approuvé, aujourd'hui, la libération anticipée de 2140 condamnés auxquels les dispositions de la loi leur donnaient droit”, a précisé un communiqué du ministère de la Justice. “Parmi eux figurent M. Kizito Mihigo et Mme Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, dont le reste de la peine a été commuée par prérogative présidentielle à la suite de leurs dernières demandes de clémence déposées en juin de cette année”, a ajouté le texte. Mme Ingabire avait été arrêtée en 2010 peu de temps après son retour au Rwanda alors qu'elle voulait se présenter à la présidentielle contre Paul Kagame comme candidate du parti des Forces démocratiques unifiées (FDU- Inkingi), une formation d'opposition non reconnue par les autorités de Kigali.

A culture of fear among journalists drives widespread self-censorship. The Rwanda Media Commission (RMC), a fledgling self-regulatory body that had made modest progress in advancing media independence, was hobbled in 2015 by the resignation of its chairman, who fled the country amid tensions between the commission and the Rwandan government. Key Developments • In May, RMC chairman Fred Muvunyi resigned his post and fled the country, saying he had received reports of threats against him after he resisted a government proposal to transfer some of the RMC’s functions to the government’s Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority (RURA). The proposed shift came amid tension between the government and the RMC over the suspension of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Kinyarwanda-language Great Lakes radio service. • Later in May, the RURA announced that it was indefinitely suspending the Great Lakes service, which had been temporarily suspended in October 2014. https://freedomhouse.org/print/48414 5/3/2017 Rwanda Page 2 of 5 • Cassien Ntamuhanga, the head of a Christian radio station, was sentenced in February to 25 years in prison on charges related to an alleged conspiracy against the government. • As in previous years, several opposition blogs and independent news websites were intermittently inaccessible inside Rwanda during 2015.

    Your Excellency Paul Kagame, President of Rwanda

    February 21, 2020 To: Your Excellency Paul Kagame, President of Rwanda RE: Request for a Joint International Investigation into the Death of the Tutsi Genocide Survivor, Gospel Singer and Peace Activist, Kizito Mihigo. Following the tragic death of Kizito Mihigo inside the Rwandan Police detention facility, early this week, we, the genocide survivors and undersigned friends, urge the government of Rwanda to launch a joint-international investigation into the circumstances leading to the controversial death of Kizito Mihigo. A short public statement issued by the Rwanda National Police, February 17, stated that Kizito Mihigo took his own life while in police custody located in the capital Kigali. Like many Rwandans, and non-Rwandans alike, we received the news of the sudden death of Kizito Mihigo with great shock, disbelief and some degrees of suspicion. Contrary to the conventional wisdom suggesting that all death inquiries should be conducted as homicide investigations until the facts have proven differently, the Rwandan authorities confirmed suicide claim even before the evaluation of any basic facts, such as post-mortem report by a qualified medical examiner. Considering this flaw and many other irregularities to conduct a credible investigation in line with international legal standards, we call the government of Rwanda to launch an independent joint international inquiry without delay and to make public the investigation findings promptly. As we continue to mourn the heartbreaking loss of Kizito Mihigo, we firmly believe that an independent joint international investigation between the Rwandan Government and independent non-governmental experts is of paramount importance. Such an initiative will bring closure to the cruel uncertainty we are stuck in now, restore the Rwanda police public trust, and clear the suspicion of a staged murder of the 38-year old gospel singer who never had any known life- threatening behavior that would suggest suicide intent.

The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Professor R. Scott Appleby. Abstract Simonsson, O. 2019. God Rests in Rwanda. The Role of Religion in the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda. Studia Historica Upsaliensia 264. 312 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0655-1. This study analyses the role of religion in the Rwandan genocide, providing new explanations to the complex dynamics of devaluation and victimisation processes in genocidal violence. The thesis explains how religion was used in different contexts prior to, during, and after the 1994 genocide. The following questions guide this study: What kinds of religious concepts and arguments were used in the context of the Rwandan genocide, and how? Why were they used and what did these concepts and arguments mean? Finally, did the meanings of the religious arguments change over time and between different contexts, and if so why? Texts from three sources were analysed: the Hutu extremist propaganda in Kangura magazine and in RTLM broadcasts, and testimonies from the ICTR trials. The analysis was guided by Roger Dale Petersen’s theory on Fear, Hatred, and Resentment, as well as theories on devaluation, social identity, self-victimisation, and competitive victimhood.

    Tortured Local Politician, Geoffrey Byamukama, Were Leaked on Social Media

    Uganda and the Bobi Wine Proposition By Eriasa Sserunjogi When Yoweri Museveni was declared winner of the January 14 election in Uganda, the situation in Kampala and other towns and townships across the country remained calm. There were no spontaneous celebrations. His party’s secretariat would hours later organise a victory procession from the spot where the declaration was made to Kololo Airstrip, the venue where Museveni will take the oath of office for the sixth time on May 12. One could clearly see that the procession, which took place under tight security, was largely made up of paid participants. The absence of spontaneous celebrations after Museveni is declared winner is not news; it has been like this before. Museveni being declared winner and his opponents disputing the results has been a ritual that has been repeated every five years since 1996. When Museveni defeated Paul Kawanga Ssemogerere in 1996 amidst accusations of rigging, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, aka Bobi Wine, was 14 years old, too young to vote. Much earlier – in 1980 – Museveni took part in his first presidential election as a candidate more than a year before Kyagulanyi was born. Museveni failed to win even in his own constituency on that occasion and the victory went to Milton Obote, the man who commanded the guns at the time. Museveni turned things in his favour when he started a war after that election and took control of the guns and the country’s leadership in 1986. He hasn’t looked back since. Of course some Ugandans vote for Museveni, but perhaps they consider it too risky to openly celebrate.
