Rwandan Dossier Against Kayumba and Karenzi: Part I




Rwandan Dossier Against Kayumba and Karenzi: Part I

By AfroAmerica Network

From our invaluable sources, AfroAmerica has obtained original copies of the dossier concocted by the Rwandan Government and sent to the South African Government and INTERPOL requesting the arrest and extradition of the exiled Rwandan General Kayumba Nyamwasa and Colonel Patrick Karegeya. In the upcoming days, AfroAmerica Network will share with our readers the content of the voluminous but extremely interesting dossier. The dossier involves the Rwandan Government and South Africa, but also other countries in the region.


In the copy pictured above, an extract of the original copy shows the Note Verbal sent by the Rwandan Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the South African High Commission in Kigali. In the subsequent documents composing the dossier, the Rwandan Government detailed the accusations of terrorism against the two former RPF high ranking military officers and the results of an alleged investigation in the grenade attacks in Kigali.


However, one wonders how the Rwandan Government writes to the South African Government but ends the letter with “renew to the High Commission of the Republic of Uganda the assurances of its highest consideration”. Is it a typo or the fact that initially the letter was to be addressed to the Republic of Uganda, where General Kayumba Nyamwasa had fled? Or is it a confirmation that Rwanda intelligence services are also targeting Rwandan political and military figures exiled in Uganda.


Further into the dossier, Martin Ngonga, the Rwandan prosecutor, writes to the Rwandan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ms. Louise Mushikiwabo:


“The Hon. Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation

Kigali-Rwanda


Dear Madam:


Re: Transmission of Request for Extradition to the Republic of South Africa


The Rwanda police and prosecution are conducting investigations regarding two Rwandan terror suspects namely: Lt. Gen. Faustin KAYUMBA NYAMWASA and former Colonel Patrick KAREGEYA both living in South Africa.

The investigations conducted so far, reveal that the two fugitives have perpetrated the recent terror attacks in Kigali.


I am pleased to forward to you the international arrest warrants and requests for extradition of the two former Rwandan military officers for onward diplomatic transmission to the judicial authorities in the Republic of South Africa requesting the said suspect arrested and extradited to Rwandan to face trial for the crimes they have committed.

We request Hon. Minister that the transmission of these documents be effected as a matter of urgency.


Please accept Hon. Minister, the assurances of my highest consideration.


Sincerely,


Martin NGOGA

Prosecutor General


CC: His Excellency the President of the Republic

Rt. Hon. Prime Minister

Hon. Minister of Justice/Attorney General

Commission General of Rwanda National Police.
