Rwanda: The Three Mistakes of Paul Kagame

February 6, 2014 Global AuthorKagame, Karegeya, politics, Rwanda, South Africa

On January 1, 2014, the media reported the murder in Johannesburg, South Africa, of Colonel Patrick Karegeya, a Rwandan once close to Paul Kagame (Rwanda’s President) and former Head of Foreign Intelligence Services of his country before being an outcast for becoming a fierce political opponent of a regime he had helped to establish in Rwanda.

With the maturity and political experience that 20 years in power should have brought them, one would have expected the highest officials of the Rwandan State – failing to express their condolences to the family of the deceased – to exercise caution in order not to court speculations that the murder of Mr. Karegeya by strangulation was hatched by Kagame himself. Instead, in a concert of delirious statements, senior government officials, without restraint, engaged in a pitiful and chilling communication campaign.
