Karegeya murder: Suspects to be extradited

JOHANNESBURG – Four Rwandan nationals, including a senior military official will now be extradited to South Africa after they were arrested in Mozambique in connection with the murder of former Rwandan spy boss Patrick Karegeya. Karegeya was found dead in his hotel room in Sandton on New Year's Day. Police say the four suspects were taken into custody a week ago. Mozambique authorities say one of the suspects linked to Karegeya's murder is a senior police official in the Rwandan armed forces.  Initial forensic investigations by local police indicated that Karegeya may have been strangled.  A blood stained towel and curtain cord were apparently found in a safe in his hotel room.  The former director of the Rwandan external intelligence service has been living in exile in this country for the past seven years.  Mozambique police say the suspects were detained following a tip off from their South African counterparts. The government has condemned the killing, saying those responsible should feel the full might of the law.  (Edited by Tamsin Wort)

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...
