The adventurers @MukizaAntoine and his cousin @JLHaby, as they were beautifully christened by internet user @CharlesBut5631, who shamefully defend the crimes of their fathers and mothers, have disappeared into thin air, unable to find the slightest response to the facts I have provided them with. And it should be remembered here that it was they, of their own accord, who provoked my post establishing the facts a few days ago. They are stuck by the materiality of the evidence. That being said, let us continue our documentation on the role of AKAZU, led by Zigiranyirazo Protais and President Habyarimana's entourage, this time in the destruction of the Rwandan economy for their own interests for the purpose of illicit enrichment.
Reference: François Misser, book VERS UN NOUVEAU RWANDA (Towards a New Rwanda), Ed. Luc Pire/Karthala 1995, pp. 82-84. Let's proceed:
"AKAZU refers to the close circle that gravitated around the president's family and more particularly around his wife, Agathe Kanziga, who had extended her influence throughout the country's economic apparatus. At the National Bank of Rwanda, members of the presidential family held prominent positions, including the president's brother-in-law, Séraphin Rwabukumba, who worked in the foreign exchange department for several years, and the president's nephew, Ildephonse Gashumba, who worked in the currency exchange department. AKAZU also played a dominant role in import-export, particularly through the CENTRALE company managed by Rwabukumba, which benefited from all the facilities for obtaining foreign currency at the National Bank of Rwanda.
In addition, AKAZU had also placed Enoch Ruhigira, the president's chief of staff, at the head of the coffee office and Michel Bagaragaza at the head of the tea office [the funds of these two establishments were largely used to finance the genocide. CEO Michel Bagaragaza pleaded guilty to this at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda].
The president and his entourage also held significant stakes in a number of commercial companies, in addition to Rwandaise, KIPHARMA, AGROTEC, NAHV and ETIRU.
The president and his family also owned the Rebero L'Horizon hotel, Kigali Night, the most popular nightclub in the capital, and other establishments.
According to Belgian mining engineer Jean-Jacques Vandenberghe, who worked for several years at the Rwanda Mining Company (SOMIRWA), SOMIRWA's bankruptcy was largely due to the actions of the Akazu. Vandenberghe also maintains that Habyarimana's brother-in-law, Protais Zigiranyirazo, received substantial commissions on sales from the artisanal production of tungsten at the Bugarama mine, which the Ministry of Finance was aware of.
These practices were compounded by others. Our colleague Nicky Gordon, author of an investigative book on the circumstances surrounding the death of Diane Fossey, concluded that the famous American was murdered because she opposed the gorilla trafficking carried out by the AKAZU and, in addition, had blackmailed them by threatening to expose the gold trafficking in which Mr Z. was involved. That is to say, Protais Zigiranyirazo.
‘To defend its interests, this mafia-like group, known as Réseau Zéro (Zero Network) after Zigiranyirazo, stopped at nothing.’
More than 31 years after the serious events involving AKAZU that led to genocide, the last of the 20th century, that of the Tutsis in Rwanda, it is damning for the sons of Habyarimana/Kanziga and Protais Zigiranyirazo.
@MukizaAntoine, @JLHaby to engage in the absurd and impossible sanctification of their parents. This is one of the worst scandals of the moment. But this match is already lost on the green carpet!
