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


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

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

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 ...

UK and US in Africa Great Lakes: A Strategy Built on Sand

  A Strategy Built on Sand: How Western Military Support for Rwanda and Uganda. Fuelled Authoritarianism and Prolonged Conflict in the African Great Lakes Region.   Introduction: The Logic That Failed For more than three decades, the United States and the United Kingdom have invested heavily in building what they hoped would be stable, capable, and pro-Western security partners in the African Great Lakes Region. Rwanda and Uganda were the centrepiece of this strategy. Both governments received billions of dollars in financial assistance, advanced military training, logistical support, and sophisticated equipment. Both were celebrated in Western capitals as models of governance, post-conflict reconstruction, and economic development. That strategy has failed — comprehensively and consequentially. What the United States and United Kingdom created were not pillars of regional stability. They created highly militarised, authoritaria...

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...
