Rwanda: FDU-Inkingi refutes false statements from Jean-Baptiste Mberabahizi

JANUARY 26, 2014  
Kigali, January 26, 2014.
RWANDA: FDU-INKINGI REFUTES FALSE STATEMENTS FROM IMPOSTERS
This Saturday, January 25, 2014, a gentleman named Jean-Baptiste Mberabahizi issued a press release that uttered crude lies on an alleged meeting between the delegation of the UN investigators on human rights currently in visit to Rwanda and two members of the FDU-Inkingi's Provisional Executive Committee (CEP), namely Flora Irakoze, the Treasurer, and Fabien Twagirayezu, the Spokesperson.
What is more disgusting is that in his press release Jean-Baptiste Mberabahizi slandered two international organizations, namely Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, alleging that these organizations might have accompanied the CEP delegation which met with the UN investigators.
This lie alone suffices to reveal the true intentions of Jean-Baptiste Mberabahizi. Indeed, it is incomprehensible and sad to implicate international organizations in a maneuver he already knew was malicious.
Jean-Baptiste Mberabahizi claims that Ms. Flora Irakoze was part of the CEP delegation that met with the UN investigators. However, for more than two months, Ms. Flora Irakoze is in hiding because the police are on her trail. The RPF regime is chasing her because she co-signed the famous letter sent to the Prime Minister by some students from colleges and universities who were complaining against the government's decision to suspend scholarships to certain categories of students. It was therefore necessary for Ms. Flora Irakoze to seek a hideout for security reasons. Jean-Baptiste Mberabahizi who claims to work with her should be aware of this information. Otherwise, he is uttering pure lies.
It is also worth reminding all of you who have been misled by such lies that the FDU-Inkingi's leadership is in Kigali with Ms. Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza as the party's Chair while the party's Secretary General is Mr. Sylvain Sibomana. Abroad, the party is represented by the Coordinating Committee, which is currently led by Dr. Nkiko Nsengimana. There is no member of this Coordinating Committee known as Jean-Baptiste Mberabahizi.
It is true that various foreign delegations that stop by Kigali usually visit the FDU-Inkingi's CEP and the party's Chair, Ms. Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, in her cell at the Kigali Maximum Security Prison, which is mostly known as "1930". When it is necessary to make a public statement about such visits, it is up to the party's official structures to do so.
The party FDU-Inkingi therefore requests that the statements of this gentleman Jean-Baptiste Mberabahizi and his acolytes be taken as what they really are, that is, pure lies aimed at intoxicating, slandering and sabotaging the party's actions in its efforts to relieve the people of Rwanda that are currently afflicted by the oppression.
The party FDU-Inkingi asks Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, which have been embarrassed by such utterances, to be understanding and to dismiss such statements from imposters which are not conducive to the well being of the party.
The party FDU-Inkingi finally urges its members and supporters to ignore such false rumors and put more energy into actions aimed at helping all Rwandans to resist against the oppressive regime.
For FDU-Inkingi
Boniface Twagirimana
Interim Vice-President

Support Our Work Now !

Africa Realities Media is independent. Your support helps us expose injustice, challenge silence and produce evidence-based analysis on Africa and the Great Lakes Region.
Africa Realities Media offre un espace aux écrivains, chercheurs, experts, activistes, voix communautaires, militants, analystes et personnes ayant une expérience vécue qui souhaitent contribuer à des contenus réfléchis, responsables et courageux sur les changements nécessaires dans la région des Grands Lacs, ainsi que sur les réalités politiques, économiques, culturelles et sociales africaines souvent ignorées, minimisées ou mal représentées. Nos articles et vidéos visent à ouvrir le débat, renforcer la sensibilisation, encourager la pensée critique et favoriser une réflexion plus profonde sur les réalités vécues par les populations africaines. Nous voulons aider les peuples de la région des Grands Lacs à mieux comprendre leurs droits, notamment leurs droits humains, leur droit au développement, leur droit à la dignité, à la sécurité, au bien-être et à une vie meilleure. À travers nos contenus, nous cherchons également à rappeler aux décideurs, aux institutions publiques, aux acteurs régionaux et internationaux, ainsi qu’aux responsables politiques, leur devoir de transparence, de responsabilité et de redevabilité envers les populations qu’ils prétendent servir. Notre objectif est de contribuer à une culture de vérité, de justice, de participation citoyenne et de protection égale pour tous les peuples africains.

Why We Exist

Many abuses facing African people are committed by African states, ruling elites, armed groups, military forces and security services. But these abuses are often sustained by international silence, Western lobbying, trade interests, migration deals, mineral access, diplomatic partnerships and unequal global accountability. Africa Realities Media exposes that system.

Lived Experience Matters

Survivors, displaced communities, refugees, families affected by repression, journalists, activists, women, young people and diaspora voices are not passive subjects. They are knowledge holders. Their experiences must shape policy, advocacy, journalism and public debate. The people closest to injustice are often closest to the solutions.

Our Principle

Africa Realities Media is rooted in one principle: African lives deserve equal truth, equal justice and equal protection.

Here's what to keep in mind. March 29, 2014 13:35     Rwanda Over several years following the genocide, the government of Rwanda allowed Tutsis to exhume the remains of their loved ones from mass graves and to bury them with honors in cemeteries. That was the right thing to do. Meanwhile, the same government prohibited hutu survivors to exhume their fallen loved ones from mass graves dug for them by the very ruling RPF. The skulls of those hutus ended up in genocide memorials that are scattered around the country, and that are ironically dedicated to "genocide against Tutsi". RPF regime knew exactly where hutu mass graves were located, all they needed were a few bulldozers and forced labor to populate the memorials with hutu skeletons. Today, there are approximate...

[RwandaLibre] Re: (pour Madame Vidal) : « Le Rwanda est stable, mais à quel prix ? »

  Mme Vidal La première caractéristique d'un blanc menteur c'est de faire comme si la tragédie rwandaise avait commencé le 6 Avril 1994, et de chercher les preuves là où elles ne sont pas, c'est-à-dire au détour de petites phrases prononcées par des personnes qui ne maîtrisent pas la langue, qui étaient enflammées ou qui sont malmenées par leurs interrogateurs. Quand vous parlez de planification du génocide, vous oubliez ceux à qui il a profité et qui avant tout le monde ont commis des exactions contre la population civile. La rancœur accumulée par les hutus contre les tutsis a été notamment été favorisée par le nettoyage ethnique opéré par le FPR dans les régions de Byumba et Ruhengeri, ce qui a eu pour résultat, un million de réfugiés entassés aux portes de Kigali. Parler du génocide et omettre de parler de cette situation est un mensonge par omission. Disons comme vous l'affirmez que l'attentat n'a...

As China eats West’s lunch in Africa, bad policy reaps chaos in South Sudan, CAR

As China eats West’s lunch in Africa, bad policy reaps chaos in South Sudan, CAR Yossef Bodansky, Senior Editor, Global Information System / Defense & Foreign Affairs Major Western states, with historical dominance over key African regions and markets, have, in the first years of the 21st Century, been losing influence in many areas of Africa. Often the Western states — the U.S., UK, and France in particular — have been ceding political and economic influence to either the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Iran, or merely to an increasing unwillingness of African societies to comply with the wishes of external powers.  Recent Western military or political interventions in such areas as Mali, Central African Republic, Libya, Sudan, and elsewhere have not produced the strategic outcomes desired by the West, implying that Western policies have lacked the ability to adapt to changing African circumstances, or to the attraction of Chinese or other options. “Ground truth” intelligenc...

Why Africa Realities Media Is Different

Africa Realities Media speaks to Africa and to the developed world. Many abuses facing African people are committed by African states and ruling elites, but they are often protected by international silence, lobbying, public relations, trade interests, migration deals and unequal global accountability. While governments pay lobbyists to present a good image abroad, ordinary African people continue to face violence, hunger, disease, poverty, repression and exclusion. We challenge the normalisation of African suffering and demand equal truth, equal justice and equal protection.

Pourquoi Africa Realities Media est différent?

Africa Realities Media s’adresse à l’Afrique et au monde développé. De nombreux abus subis par les peuples africains sont commis par des États africains et des élites dirigeantes, mais ils sont souvent protégés par le silence international, le lobbying, les relations publiques, les intérêts commerciaux, les accords migratoires et une responsabilité mondiale inégale. Tandis que des gouvernements paient des lobbyistes pour présenter une bonne image à l’étranger, des Africains ordinaires continuent de faire face à la violence, à la faim, aux maladies, à la pauvreté, à la répression et à l’exclusion. Nous contestons la normalisation de la souffrance africaine et exigeons une vérité égale, une justice égale et une protection égale.

Policy and Systems Change

Our work is designed to trigger debate, discomfort and action. We do not only expose injustice; we work for policy and systems change. We want governments and institutions to address the root causes of inequality, disadvantage, discrimination, exclusion and barriers affecting African people. We believe lasting change must be shaped by people with lived experience.

Exposing Injustice in Africa

Africa Realities Media is an independent African accountability platform based in London. We report, analyse and challenge the systems that shape African suffering, silence African victims and protect abusive power. We are not here to repeat diplomatic language. We are here to ask the questions that are often avoided: why are African deaths treated as normal? Why are African victims given less urgency? Why are governments that imprison, exclude, displace or kill their own people protected when they serve powerful international interests?

Africanews

Africa Realities Media gives space to writers, researchers, experts, activists, community voices, campaigners, analysts and people with lived experience who want to contribute thoughtful, responsible and courageous content about the changes needed in the region, as well as the political, economic, cultural and social African realities that are often ignored, minimised or misrepresented. Our articles and videos aim to encourage debate, raise awareness, stimulate critical thinking and support reflection. We seek to help people in the Great Lakes Region understand their rights to human rights, development and wellbeing, while also encouraging decision-makers to be more transparent, responsive and accountable.
