The Testimony of Aloys Ruyenzi


Lieutenant Aloys Ruyenzi once served as Rwandan President Paul Kagame's bodyguard. His testimony of what happened under Kagame is chilling and should be read in its entirety here. Some excerpts (note that this was written in about 2004):
The Killing Field in Nyungwe Forest
According to an eyewitness, President Kagame operates a horrendous killing field in Nyungwe National Forest located between the towns of Gikongoro and Cyangugu in  Rwanda. It is well-established and has been there since the RPA took over the whole country in 1994-1995 and it continues to be used even today. It is run by the DMI who kills both soldiers and civilians there. The killing field is always busy and receives its victims from all over Rwanda and also from outside the country. The place is guarded by about a platoon-sized group of DMI commandos and President Kagame's Republican Guard. The soldiers killing and burning the victims are always using lots of drugs, mostly marijuana.
The victims arrive with their hands in cuffs and their feet chained. They are killed with bayonets. Those who try to escape or resist are shot. The body is then sprayed with petrol and thrown into a fire in order to destroy it completely. Others are burned alive. After being tormenting by the guards, they are sprayed with petrol and thrown into a fire. Soldier victims are burned with their uniforms on and officers are burned with their pips on. The site always has a lot of petrol and firewood on hand and it is regularly supplied with new material. President Kagame allegedly regularly visits to inspect the efficiency of the killing.

The soldiers doing the killings and the disposal of the ashes are exclusively Tutsi recruited from DRC or Burundi.  They are highly vetted.  One of these soldiers working at the killing field in Nyungwe found himself spraying petrol on his uncle‟s dead body after he was killed in the Kami Prison torture chambers.  After throwing the dead body into the fire, he immediately fled the country.  Roadblocks were set up at all the borders of the country in order to arrest him but he was never found.  This soldier was a member of the Republican Guard, President Kagame‟s personal escort.

Kami Prison
There are notorious torture chambers there where people are killed after going through terrible suffering and torment under interrogation.  Gen. Kagame has killed people of all different types and shades, both soldiers and civilians. He also killed many of the Rwandese refugees returning from DRC in 1994, especially those from the refugee  camps in Kibumba, Mugunga, and Katare.  Many Ugandans have also been detained,
tortured, and killed there on allegations of spying for Uganda.  Rwandans perceived to oppose President Kagame‟s regime (the so-called Ibipinga) also suffer a deadly fate there.  They are usually accused of spying for Uganda.
Most of the time, the DMI will kill them and take their bodies to the Nyungwe killing field for burning. However, those who are suspected of holding back information are taken to Nyungwe alive in handcuffs and chains and then tormented with the threat of fire and petrol.  They are shown the terrible kind of death they will face if they don't say everything they know.  They are interrogated about their alleged collaboration with the Ugandan government or those fighting the Rwandan government from the DRC and elsewhere.  Whatever they tell the DMI, either truth or lies, they are sprayed with petrol anyway, thrown onto a heap of firewood and set alight by lighting a match on a long thread that is tied onto the victim‟s body and is located between the killer and the victim. The thread is also doused in petrol.  The "lucky" victims are killed with an "agafuni" (old, small hoe), or suffocated with a polyether bag (Kavera).
This entire report is revolting.

Le Troisième Mandat de Louise Mushikiwabo à l'OIF : Entre Précédent et Principe Démocratique. L'Alternance à l'OIF : Pourquoi un Troisième Mandat Fragilise la Crédibilité de la Francophonie. Introduction Louise Mushikiwabo veut un troisième mandat à la tête de l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. Son annonce, faite bien avant l'émergence d'autres candidats, rappelle une tactique familière en Afrique : affirmer qu'on a le soutien populaire sans jamais le prouver publiquement. La méthode est rodée. Des dirigeants africains l'utilisent depuis des décennies pour prolonger leur règne. Ils clament que "le peuple le demande" ou que "les partenaires soutiennent" cette reconduction. Aucune preuve formelle n'est nécessaire. L'affirmation devient réalité politique. Mais voilà le problème : la Francophonie prêche la démocratie, l'État de droit et l'alternance au pouvoir. Peut-elle tolérer en son sein ce qu...
