Will the current diplomatic row between Kigali and Brussels leave the Rwandan Dictator un bruised?

red rwanda mapAs President Kagame is trying to cope up with the economic bite emanating from the economic sanctions, he has become so dangerous not only to himself but to the nation as well.  As the saying goes, he/she who beats the dog is actually looking for its owner.  Kigali has expelled an aide to the Belgium's Military attaché, for what Kigali calls activities incompatible with his diplomatic function.
Kigali and Brussels have been engaged in diplomatic cold war over the war in Congo in which Kigali is accused for directly and indirectly supporting the M23 rebels who have caused mayhem in the eastern part of the vast country in the great lakes region.
The Rwandan dictator has become restless and attacking everybody he suspects of knowing his monkey tricks.  He has been burning people's houses and hiding the smoke or deliberately ignored by the international community for different reasons but as many key players in the international community are becoming less submissive and discovering the true colors of the dictator, he has become a wounded buffalo and make no mistake he will not spare anybody before himself becomes a victim of his own attitude.
It is not yet clear what will be the cost of this current diplomatic row between Kigali and Brussels  but what is clear though is that Kigali  is not only playing  with fire but is also  apparently facing unprecedented   discontent  both within the country and abroad. The recent outcry of the families of the fallen Bishops  have not bruised the presidents diplomatic credentials but have left  the Ghosts  of the fallen Bishops  who were butchered in Kabgayi  by Kagame Generals  on the orders of the former rebel chief who turned president(Kagame Paul) himself and other innocent   people demanding justice from the international community.

[RwandaLibre] Rwanda : 19 ans après les massacres de Kibeho restent toujours impunis

  http://www.fdu-rwanda.com/ Rwanda : 19 ans après les massacres de Kibeho restent toujours impunis avril 22, 2014     Ce 22 avril 2014 est un triste anniversaire. Souvenons-nous, en effet, c'est à cette date que plus de 8'000 réfugiés dans le camp de Kibeho furent tués à l'arme lourde et aux lance-roquettes des soldats du Front Patriotique Rwandais. Des dizaines de milliers de rescapés du camp qui ont tenté ensuite de s'échapper ont été froidement abattus sur leur chemin de retour, les uns, jetés dans des fosses communes, d'autres, jonchés tout le long des routes, d'autres enfin, tout simplement disparus, sans la moindre trace.   Le camp de réfugiés de Kibeho abritait près de 200000 personnes. Que l'on se rappelle, c'est peu avant le 17 avril 1995 que, sous le prétexte fallacieux de démantèlement de prétendus arsenaux d'armes, six bataillons de l'armée du FPR (2000 hommes) et de la...
