PRESS RELEASE
SOS RWANDA: WHEN A SYSTEM KILLS THE SOUL
OF ITS PEOPLE.
A disingenuous falsehood
targeting Mrs Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza and clearly concocted by Rwandan
intelligence services has demonstrated how the Rwandan people are losing their
soul that used to be synonymous with moral integrity, empathy, word of honour
and impartiality of a leader. This situation raises an alarm to stop this
descent to hell.
On Sunday 12 May 2019, the
KT press , published an article entitled: “Victoire Ingabire found recruiting
for terrorism group” and produced a
video in which one “witness” claims that
Mrs Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza told FDU-Inkingi supporters who were
socialising at Sun City motel that
she wanted to recruit them to “join
an armed terrorist group”. The “witnesses” further claimed that she told
them that she was interested in unemployed youth, former Rwandan soldiers and
reservists and emphasized that she was not interested in Tutsi because she
“hates them”. However, another witness
said that Mrs Victoire didn’t want tutsi because they were well catered!
It is quite clear that with the wildest stretch of imagination no
one can ever believe that Mrs Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza could make such
statements in a public place addressing more than 20 people that she did not
know well. The discrepancies in the account made by the witnesses clearly
indicate that the witnesses did not have enough time to rehearse the script
together.
Regarding the identity of the “witnesses”, they were identified as
part of a youth gang, led by the Executive Secretary of Kigina Sector, Kirehe
District, who came and disrupted the social gathering of FDU-Inkingi
supporters. The personal assistant to Mrs Victoire Ingabire was battered by the
youth gang commandeered by the Executive Secretary.
There is little doubt that the
aim of this campaign is to incite hatred and violence against Mrs Victoire
Ingabire Umuhoza or even to get her arrested.
As Mrs Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza wrote to the General Prosecutor Martin
Ngoga when she was in jail: in jail, free or dead the movement for democratic
change is unstoppable.
FDU-Inkingi would like to condemn in the strongest terms possible
this deliberate attempt by a media channel, like “IGIHE”,
or “Kigali
Today”, known to be sponsored by the feared Directorate of Military
Intelligence, to carry out a smear campaign intended to tarnish the image of
Mrs Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza and her party FDU-Inkingi and to get her
arrested.
The FDU-Inkingi would
like to call on the Rwandan government to stop killing the soul of its people
by turning them into cynical liars and turning security
services into repressive tools of the regime against the people they are
paid to protect.
Done in Rouen on May 13, 2019.
