SOUTH AFRICA: RWANDAN DIPLOMAT INVOLVED IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES EXPOSED

 

Breaking News - PretoriaA Rwandan diplomat in Pretoria, South Africa has been exposed for his criminal activities against members of the Diaspora who are critics of the ruling regime in Rwanda specifically those belonging to Rwanda National Congress (RNC) ,a yet to be registered political part operating  outside Rwanda.

The diplomat ,Didier Rutembasa, who is under constant surveillance from the South African Intelligence officers, is known for his role in terrorizing Rwandan refugees as well as his involvement in a recent assassination attempt on Frank Ntwali, chairman of RNC in Africa.  

while RNC members celebrated two years of its existence by staging a picket at the Rwandan Embassy in Pretoria denouncing the regime's ongoing suppression of human rights, freedom of speech , Rwanda's support to the rebel movement M23 in Congo, Didier Rutembesa hired and equipped a Congolese refugee whose Identity is withheld for security reasons, with a recording equipments to spy on Gen Kayumba Nyamwasa as well as protesters who were present during the picket.

Fearing for his life, the Congolese refugee decided to seek for protection and handed over all incriminating evidence (recording machine, emails between him and the diplomat) to the lawyers who in return contacted the intelligence officers. Meanwhile they are waiting to official lodge a court case. In an email  exchange between the two men it reads as follows : "The reason why it is only today that I denounce you is the fact that I needed some time to gather information and evidences, in addition to the death threat that you did to me 3 days ago(our telephone conversation the 21st January 2013 at 2:44pm)".

"I request to my lawyer reading this in CC to open a case at the justice for: intimidation, manipulation  and exposure to the risk".

After several failed attempts to have the South African authorities stop from issuing permission to the members of RNC, Didier sort to use Congolese refugees  to disrupt the picketing but it backfired when Congolese joined-hands with fellow refugees . "For your information, that money allowed those Congolese to pay their transport in order to join RCN in their claim because the claim of these ones was loyal and of common interest".

Our attempts to contact the lawyers for the Congolese refugee was unsuccessful.

Le Rwanda au Mozambique : qui les a placés là, pourquoi ils ne peuvent pas rester et pourquoi la SADC doit les remplacer avant que les dégâts ne deviennent permanents

  Qui a placé le Rwanda là-bas, pourquoi la France refuse de le remplacer, comment le déploiement est devenu un bouclier contre les sanctions, et pourquoi la SADC doit agir avant que les dégâts ne deviennent permanents Mars 2026   Résumé exécutif Les sanctions occidentales contre les Forces de Défense du Rwanda (RDF), imposées par les États-Unis le 2 mars 2026 en vertu du Global Magnitsky Act et relayées par une pression croissante de l'Union européenne, ont mis à nu une contradiction stratégique de premier ordre. La même force militaire sanctionnée pour son soutien opérationnel direct au groupe rebelle M23 en République démocratique du Congo est simultanément le principal garant sécuritaire d'un projet de gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) de 20 milliards de dollars exploité par le géant français TotalEnergies à Cabo Delgado, dans le nord du Mozambique. Cette analyse répond à trois questions interconnectées dont les réponses définissent ...

Pourquoi les sanctions américaines ne fonctionnent pas contre le Rwanda

Pourquoi Paul Kagame a ignoré les sanctions américaines et la Résolution 2773 du Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU Entre février 2025 et mars 2026, le Trésor américain a imposé deux séries de sanctions ciblant directement la machine de guerre du Rwanda dans l'est du Congo : d'abord James Kabarebe, ministre d'État rwandais et principal intermédiaire du régime auprès du M23, puis les Forces de défense rwandaises en tant qu'entité, ainsi que quatre de leurs hauts responsables. Chacun des individus sanctionnés est demeuré en poste. Les FDR ne se sont pas retirées. Cette analyse examine pourquoi les mesures de Washington n'ont pas modifié la conduite du Rwanda — et pourquoi, selon les propres mots de Kagame, elles sont rejetées comme l'Å“uvre des « simplement stupides ».     Introduction : des sanctions sans conséquence La campagne de sanctions de Washington contre les opérations militaires du Rwanda dans l'est du Congo s'...

The Killing of Karine Buisset. RDF/M23 Responsible in Any Scenario.

The Killing of Karine Buisset in Goma: Rwanda's Occupation, a Drone Strike, and the Long Pattern of Targeted Violence In the early hours of Wednesday, 11 March 2026, a drone struck a two-storey residential building in the Himbi neighbourhood of Goma, a city held by Rwanda-backed RDF/M23 rebels since January 2025. Karine Buisset, a 54-year-old French national from Belz in Morbihan and a UNICEF child protection officer, was sleeping in the apartment of Christine Guinot, UNICEF's head of security in the DRC, who was not present that night. Buisset died at the scene. Two other people were also killed. By 4:12 a.m., a second wave of strikes had hit the city. RDF/M23 spokesperson Lawrence Kanyuka attributed the drone attack to the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (FARDC), describing it as a "combat drone" strike and a "terrorist attack" on civilian areas. France's President Emmanuel Macron confirmed Buisset's death on...
