Fw: *DHR* Unacceptable Affront To South Africa’s Sovereignty!

Unacceptable Affront To South Africa's Sovereignty!

It was an unacceptable affront to UK sovereignty too, when Kagame planned to kill another dissident in the UK.  When this plan was  uncovered by the UK Police, nothing was done by the UK Government to warn Kagame. It was business as usual on relations with Kagame.  The event  did  not stop  Andrew Mitchell MP and other MPs to travel to Rwanda to venerate  Kagame.

It seems to me that UK had already forgotten the  7 July 2005 London bombings (often referred to as 7/7) were a series of coordinated suicide attacks in London, which targeted civilians using the public transport system during the morning rush hour.

SA to tread lightly on ex-spy's death

Durban - The government is bracing itself for another sharp plunge in
relations with Rwanda after the apparent murder of dissident former
Rwandan spymaster Patrick Karegeya in a plush Sandton, Joburg, hotel
on New Year's Eve.

Officially, Pretoria insists Karegeya's death in a room in the
Michelangelo Towers Hotel remains, for now, an ordinary murder
investigation.

But unofficially, the government is fairly certain the finger of guilt
will point to President Paul Kagame's government – as it did in 2010
when Karegeya's friend and fellow-dissident, ex-army chief General
Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa, survived two assassination attempts within a
fortnight.

Official sources said it would be an unacceptable affront to South
Africa's sovereignty if it were proved Kigali had sent agents to this
country to assassinate an opponent.

Director-general of International Relations and Cooperation Jerry
Matjila called in top police, security and intelligence officials on
Thursday to be briefed on the case, they said.

This week, Rwanda's high commissioner to South Africa, Vincent Karega,
denied his government had arranged Karegeya's murder, asking why would
it would have waited six years if it wanted to kill him.

He said Karegeya was under the South African government's protection,
so all questions about what had happened to him should be directed to
it.

However, Karegeya had not been under South African government
protection since April 2011, his nephew David Batenga said yesterday.

He said Karegeya had asked to leave the safe house he had been living
in, so he could earn his own income, rather than rely on the
government for his livelihood, Batenga said.

His protection had ended when he left the safe house and moved to a
gated community in Roodepoort.

Batenga said Karegeya had been betrayed by Rwandan businessman Appollo
Kiririsi Gafaranga, whom he had known since he was head of external
intelligence in Rwanda, according to a statement from the Rwanda
National Congress. - Independent on Saturday.

[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...
