The Swedish Finance minister Anders Borg was yesterday visited Uganda where he warned the Ugandan president Yoweli Kaguta Museveni on poor human rights record most especially that of  the recent signed law punishing Guys and deteriorating human rights record in Uganda.
 
Anders Borg, Sweden's Finance Minister warned Uganda on Tuesday in Kampala, that a new bill imposing harsh penalties for homosexuality could represent a financial risk for the east African economy.
He also said this while commenting on  poor human rights record in Uganda  "It represents a financial risk for Uganda to get this type of reputation," he said.
 
It's in that regard that Minister Anders Borg continued in Rwanda where he met president Kagame and warned him on worst human rights record the Rwandan president has continued to dwell in , including arbitrary arrests ,assassinations and reaching to an extent of using power as president to abduct Rwandan refugees with UNHCR Refugee status  in Uganda where they fled too .
 
Rwanda's Security and intelligence have continued to enjoy impunity and shield of there Ugandan counterpart where it's killing squad has continued to disguise under diplomacy .
 
Sweden is among Rwanda and Uganda's main donors and contribute in development of Human rights, Democracy and
poverty eradication where projects worthy Rwf37.6bn where signed on side of Rwandan government .

Pourquoi les sanctions américaines contre le Rwanda sont-elles si importantes ?

Pourquoi les sanctions américaines contre le Rwanda sont-elles si importantes ? Auteur : The African Rights Campaign. Londres, Royaume-Uni Publié en : mars 2026   Introduction Lorsqu'un gouvernement est accusé d'exécutions extrajudiciaires, de déplacements massifs, de violences sexuelles, de violations des droits de l'homme et du pillage systématique des ressources naturelles d'un pays voisin, la réponse diplomatique attendue est un démenti catégorique, étayé par des preuves. Le Rwanda ne l'a pas fait. Lorsque le département américain du Trésor a imposé des sanctions aux Forces de défense rwandaises (FDR) et à quatre de leurs commandants les plus haut placés, le 2 mars 2026, la porte-parole officielle de Kigali, Yolande Makolo, a délivré une déclaration que les analystes diplomatiques étudieront attentivement pour ce qu'elle omet conspicuement. Elle a dit que les sanctions étaient « injustes », qu'elles ciblaient « uniquement...

Why US Sanctions Against Rwanda Are So Important

Why US Sanctions Against Rwanda Are So Important Author: The African Rights Campaign. London, UK Published: March 2026   Introduction When a government is accused of extrajudicial killings, mass displacement, sexual violence, human rights abuses, and the systematic pillage of another country's mineral resources, the expected response in international diplomacy is an unequivocal denial backed by evidence. Rwanda did not do that. When the United States Department of the Treasury imposed sanctions on the Rwanda Defence Force (RDF) and four of its most senior commanders on 2 March 2026, Kigali's official spokesperson Yolande Makolo made a statement that diplomatic analysts will study carefully for what it conspicuously omitted. She said the sanctions were 'unjust,' that they targeted 'only one party to the peace process,' and that they 'misrepresent the reality and distort the facts.' Rwanda's government, described by Bloomb...

Rubaya Mine Under USA’s Control: Kagame Has No Grounds to Object.

Rubaya Mine: Strategic Interests, Regional Conflict and the DRC–USA Cooperation Framework Rubaya mine, located in Masisi territory in North Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, is a Congolese resource. It was a Congolese resource before the M23 advanced on it, it remains a Congolese resource today, and it will remain a Congolese resource regardless of what any regional actor claims, implies or pursues. That is not a political position. It is a statement of international law and sovereign right. This foundational point must be stated plainly because it is frequently obscured in discussions about the conflict in eastern Congo. Debates about security narratives, mineral partnerships and geopolitical alignment risk creating a false impression that Rubaya's ownership or governance is somehow open to negotiation between external parties. It is not. The Democratic Republic of the Congo holds sovereign authority over its territory and its natural resources. N...
