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

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.

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...
