Arusha: Supposed former close Protection Officer for President Paul Kagame has alleged before the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) that the leader of Interahamwe militia during the Genocide against Tutsis, Robert Kajuga, worked for the now ruling Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF).
“It is not only Kajuga who worked for the RPF but there were many others from the government.” Aloys Ruyenzi, who claims to have been a close protection officer to President Kagame, told the court in the defence case of the former ruling MRND party President, Mathieu Ngirumpatse.

When asked by Don Webster, the Prosecuting counsel to say more about Kajuga, Ruyenzi responded “he was Tutsi working for the RPF to kill members of the population.”

Earlier during examination in chief by defence co-counsel, Frédéric Weyl, the witness explained: “RPF did not care to kill members of the population when they infiltrated Kigali town.”

He told the court that members of the RPF were sent to Kigali town to infiltrate into the population, at roadblocks and in the public transport where they carried out killings against the population in a bid to hold power by force.

“All the crimes perpetrated by RPF were attributed to the Rwanda government. They were people who lived and worked with me and when they come back from missions they would tell me about the killings they committed,” Ruyenzi explained.

The trial continues Wednesday.

Ngirumpatse and his co-accused, former MRND vice-president Edouard Karemera, are charged mainly with crimes allegedly committed by members of their party and Interahamwe militiamen of their youth wing.

Exiled Aloys Ruyenzi is among the contested witnesses of French judge Jean Louis Bruguieure, whose indictment of Rwandan officials in 2006 caused the breakdown of relations with France.

  1. My initial imagined was relief as well as the second was oh no cash loans
    how much will this expense me. He instantly advised me that the expense
    was very reduced in contrast for the other people that advertised
    great lower costs. By far the most wonderful portion was I closed my payday loan online in six days.
    I'm so blessed for being locked in at a pleasant very low price that I'll in no way
    must get worried about refinancing again.
