complacency in face of injustice to any human being dehumanises each one of us.

[michelawrong @michelawrong]

@MbandaMartin No one denies the FDLR exists, nor its roots. "Existential threat?" Now that's funny. This superbly-equipped army is sent to tackle CAR and Mozambique's security issues. Why isn't it clustered exclusively along the border with DRC if Rwanda faces an "existential threat"?

[michelawrong @michelawrong]

AJEnglish here regurgitates the classic arguments used by Rwanda's regime to justify its military intervention in neighbouring DRC. Qatar's growing investments in the Rwandan economy come at the price of independent journalism, it seems.

🇷🇼 THE RWANDAN GOVERNMENT MUST EXPLAIN WHY JUSTICE AND HUMAN RIGHTS CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN!

A statement by #RémyAmahirwa, the son of @VictoireUmuhoza , following three days in #Geneva, Switzerland, raises a critical question that deserves serious attention: Are human rights and political freedoms being adequately respected in Rwanda?

Rémy says he raised concerns before the United Nations regarding his mother’s imprisonment, freedom of expression, political participation, and the right to a fair trial.

Even more concerning, according to his statement, the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention had already found his mother’s detention to be arbitrary and in violation of international law, calling for her immediate release.

How can a country claim to uphold the rule of law while serious concerns about the detention of a political figure remain unresolved?

The Rwandan government must address these concerns transparently and demonstrate its commitment to justice, fundamental freedoms, and the protection of human rights.

Freedom of expression, political participation, and the right to a fair trial are not privileges granted by governments. They are fundamental rights that must be respected and protected.

🇷🇼 RELEASE VICTOIRE INGABIRE UMUHOZA!

Justice must prevail. Human rights must be respected. No one should be imprisoned unjustly for their political beliefs or peaceful expression.

TO: The Embassy of the United States of America in Rwanda( @USAmbRwanda ) .

SUBJECT: Request for an Urgent Review of Alleged Incitement to Murder Sergeant Major Robert Kabera by Mrs. Dusenge Clenia (Madedeli), Who Is Reportedly Applying for a U.S. Visa

Dear Representatives of the United States Embassy in Rwanda,

I am writing to bring to your attention serious concerns regarding a post published on the social media platform X by Mrs. Dusenge Clenia @MadederiOG , also known as Madedeli.

According to the evidence in my possession, this individual is alleged to have published statements calling for the killing of Sergeant Major Robert #Kabera. I respectfully request that these statements be thoroughly reviewed to establish whether they were indeed authored by her, to assess their meaning in their full context, and to determine whether they may have legal implications.

I have also received information indicating that Mrs. Dusenge Clenia may have a pending application for a visa to travel to the United States of America and is awaiting a decision from the relevant authorities.

Given the seriousness of these allegations, I respectfully request that your office consider the following:

1. Review of the Submitted Evidence

I request that the post published by Mrs. Clenia on her X account be examined, as it allegedly encouraged people to kill Robert Kabera and included a list of other individuals whom she allegedly wanted to see killed.

2. Assessment of Whether an Investigation Is Warranted

If a preliminary review reveals credible evidence of conduct that may violate applicable laws, I respectfully request that the information be referred to the appropriate authorities for further investigation in accordance with the law.

3. Review of the Visa Application

If Mrs. Dusenge Clenia has an application for a U.S. visa pending, I respectfully request that the information and supporting evidence provided be referred to the competent authorities to determine whether any provisions of U.S. immigration law may be relevant to this matter.

4. A Decision Based on the Law and Evidence

I respectfully request that, should the review establish legally valid grounds for granting or denying her visa, an appropriate decision be made in accordance with applicable laws and procedures. I am not asking for a decision to be made without a proper review; rather, I am requesting that the evidence submitted not be disregarded.

Furthermore, I am concerned that granting her a visa to travel to or reside in the United States could create potential security concerns, particularly given the possibility that Rwandan nationals who criticize the government in Kigali could be exposed to insecurity. The United States is one of the world’s most powerful countries, and I believe it is important to ensure that all relevant security concerns are carefully considered.

For these reasons, I respectfully request that the Embassy and the relevant U.S. authorities carefully assess this matter and consider denying her visa application, should the evidence and applicable law provide sufficient grounds for such a decision, rather than allowing her to travel to or reside in the United States.

Thank you for your time, attention, and consideration of this serious matter. I trust that the relevant authorities will review the information objectively, fairly, and in accordance with the laws of the United States.

Yours faithfully,

#TEAMINKINGI

Faut-il incriminer le recel de sportwashing ?

Les enfants et la femme de Stefano Domenicali, président et CEO de Formula 1 savent-ils qui est réellement Paul Kagame ?

Savent-ils que Robert Kabera, ancien militaire rwandais devenu opposant politique et youtubeur critique du régime a été retrouvé décapité le 17 octobre 2026 près de Kampala, en Ouganda, alors qu’il avait fui le Rwanda en 2020 en invoquant des menaces ?

Savent-ils que la tête n’a toujours pas été retrouvée ?

Savent-ils que ce meurtre s’inscrit dans une longue série d’assassinats ou de tentatives d’assassinats de critiques de Kagame à l’étranger, documentés par la presse internationale et les organisations de défense des droits humains ?

Savent-ils que Kagame et son régime persécutent aussi des Tutsi — artistes, anciens compagnons de route ou simples opposants — dès qu’ils sortent de la ligne officielle ?

Ont-ils pris connaissance de l’ensemble de ces rapports ?

Savent-ils que Paul Kagame dirige depuis plus de trente ans un régime autoritaire souvent qualifié d’ethnocratie tutsi, colonialiste et expansionniste accusé par de multiples rapports de l’ONU, de HRW et d’Amnesty d’agresser militairement son voisin congolais, de soutenir le M23 et d’être impliqué dans des massacres massifs de civils ?

Ont-ils pris connaissance du rapport Mapping de l’ONU, du rapport Gersony ?

Ont-ils interrogé les militaires australiens qui ont compté les corps sous leurs yeux avant d’être contraints d’arrêter le décompte à mi-chemin ?

Maintenant que le père et le mari commence à savoir, va-t-il revenir sur sa décision et casser le deal afin d’éviter d’être accusé de recel de sportwashing et de pouvoir se regarder dans la glace ?

Va-t-il saisir pourquoi Amnesty International et Human Rights Watch ont déjà qualifié cet accord de « trophée du sportwashing » offert à un régime aux bilans documentés en matière de répression interne et d’implication dans les atrocités en RDC ?

Va-t-il entamer une carrière de recéleur de sportwashing ?

N’a-t-il pas honte ?

Veut t-il être la honte de sa femme et de ses enfants ?

A t-il entendu les cris de cette femme devant le corps décapité de ce jeune homme exterminé sur ordre de Kagame ?

8 YEARS SINCE BONIFACE TWAGIRIMANA DISAPPEARED: SILENCE IS NOT AN ANSWER—TRUTH AND JUSTICE ARE OBLIGATIONS!

Eight years have passed since Boniface Twagirimana, the former Vice President of the opposition party FDU-Inkingi, disappeared from Mpanga Prison in 2018. Yet, to this day, fundamental questions about what happened to him remain unanswered.

HOW CAN A PERSON IN STATE CUSTODY DISAPPEAR FROM PRISON, AND EIGHT YEARS PASS WITHOUT THE FULL TRUTH ABOUT THEIR FATE BEING ESTABLISHED?

When a person is imprisoned, the state has a responsibility to protect their life, ensure their safety, and respect their fundamental rights. When a detainee disappears, it is not enough to offer explanations that have not been independently verified. What is needed is a thorough, transparent, and credible investigation that delivers concrete answers.

The Rwandan government must not treat Boniface Twagirimana’s disappearance as a forgotten matter simply because time has passed. Time cannot replace the truth, and the passage of eight years does not diminish his family’s right to know what happened to their loved one.

QUESTIONS THE RWANDAN GOVERNMENT MUST ANSWER

•Where exactly did Boniface Twagirimana disappear, and what independent evidence supports the explanations given regarding his disappearance?
•What investigations have been conducted, and what records and evidence can be made public to establish the truth?
•What concrete steps have been taken to ensure that his family receives credible answers?
•Who will be held accountable if evidence establishes negligence or other unlawful conduct?

The Rwandan government must understand that legitimate governance is not built on power alone. It also depends on accountability, respect for the rule of law, and recognition of citizens’ right to demand answers from those entrusted with public responsibility.

If the government maintains that its actions complied with the law, it should support an independent and credible investigation capable of establishing the facts and uncovering the truth about what happened to Boniface Twagirimana. The truth should not be feared, and justice should not be reserved for some while denied to others.

Eight years later, his family still has the right to know what happened to him. The Rwandan people also have the right to know whether their institutions are fulfilling their duty to protect every person’s life and fundamental rights, regardless of their political beliefs or affiliations.

The Rwandan government must provide concrete answers. Silence, a lack of transparency, and the failure to present sufficient evidence cannot substitute for truth and justice.

THE TRUTH ABOUT BONIFACE TWAGIRIMANA MUST COME TO LIGHT.

HIS FAMILY HAS THE RIGHT TO KNOW.

JUSTICE MUST BE UPHELD .

This video is deeply heartbreaking. Hearing these children share their testimonies about how their parents were killed by the #RPF is incredibly painful. It is important that these testimonies are heard and that the world learns the truth about the atrocities committed against #Hutu people, so that justice and lasting peace can be built in Rwanda .

[FDU Inkingi @FDU_Inkingi]

Thirty-six years after the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) launched its offensive against Rwanda on 1 October 1990, the wounds of war remain open. The victims are still waiting for justice, the truth about crimes committed across Rwanda and the Great Lakes region remains contested, and the fundamental question of political freedom in Rwanda remains unresolved. On this solemn anniversary, FDU-Inkingi pays tribute to all those whose lives were shattered by the successive tragedies that have ravaged Rwanda and the wider Great Lakes region. It calls for an honest reckoning with the RPF’s record in power and for a future in which justice is impartial, human rights are protected, and every Rwandan can freely choose their leaders.

📢📢 🟢 #APDLIA : LIBÉREZ IMMÉDIATEMENT ET SANS CONDITIONS VICTOIRE INGABIRE UMUHOZA !

⚖️ DÉCLARATION DU 8 OCTOBRE 2026

🔵 L’Association pour la Promotion de la Démocratie et Lutte contre l’Impunité en Afrique — APDLIA — dénonce avec la plus grande fermeté l’acharnement judiciaire contre Madame Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza. 📌 L’APDLIA considère que les poursuites engagées contre elle constituent un procès d’intention destiné à faire taire une voix courageuse de l’opposition démocratique rwandaise.

🟡 Cette dénonciation s’appuie sur des constats internationaux préoccupants : le Groupe de travail des Nations unies sur la détention arbitraire a conclu au caractère arbitraire de sa détention et demandé sa libération ainsi que des réparations. Amnesty International réclame également sa libération, considérant qu’elle est détenue pour l’exercice pacifique de ses droits fondamentaux.

📌 L’APDLIA rejette les accusations qu’elle estime politiquement construites pour criminaliser son engagement pacifique. La Human Rights Foundation a elle-même dénoncé des accusations fabriquées. Les éléments présentés comme des preuves doivent pouvoir être examinés et contestés par la défense devant une juridiction réellement indépendante et impartiale. La justice ne saurait servir à transformer la critique du pouvoir en crime.

⚖️ Pour l’APDLIA, Victoire Ingabire incarne la justice, la paix, la liberté, la réconciliation et la démocratie. L’acharnement dont elle fait l’objet traduit la peur du régime de Paul Kagame face à une opposition pacifique qui réclame le respect des droits de tous les Rwandais. Gouverner par l’intimidation et emprisonner les voix dissidentes ne confère aucune légitimité démocratique.

📍L’APDLIA affirme sa conviction de l’innocence de Madame Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza et exige sa libération immédiate et sans conditions, ainsi que l’abandon des poursuites motivées par son activité politique pacifique. Le calvaire qui lui est imposé doit cesser. Sa dignité, sa santé, ses droits de défense et ses liens avec sa famille doivent être pleinement respectés.

📢 L’APDLIA appelle les #Nations_Unies, l’#Union_Africaine, l’#Union_Européenne et les partenaires du #Rwanda à exiger des actes concrets des autorités rwandaises pour mettre fin à cette injustice.

🔹LA DÉMOCRATIE N’EST PAS UN CRIME.

🔹L’OPPOSITION PACIFIQUE N’EST PAS UNE CONSPIRATION.

🔹LIBERTÉ POUR VICTOIRE INGABIRE UMUHOZA !
