Rwanda
President Paul Kagame has received a copy of the long-awaited report on
the April 6, 1994 shooting down of the plane carrying Juvenal
Habyarimana.
French judges Marc Trevidic and Nathalie Poux, who have been investigating the incident which sparked genocide in Rwanda, forwarded the report to Kigali on January 7.
Government immediately wired the report to Kagame’s aides in South Africa where he is attending the ANC’s 100th Anniversary celebrations, according to well placed sources in Kigali.
Details of the report, which will be made public this week, are still scanty.
The two judges have been investigating the sensitive incident following the retirement of Judge Bruguiere.
The
contents of the report are so crucial given that the judges will
officially indict perpetrators of the assassination and issue public
arrest warrants.
Kigali is still silent on the matter, raising fears the report could be pinning RPF leaders in the shooting.
Kagame’s
former Cabinet Secretary Theogene Rudasingwa shook the world late last
year when he revealed the President, who was then the RPF leader, shot
down the plane.
Rudasingwa
said Kagame on several times told him how he blew up the plane carrying
Habyarimana, his Burundian counterpart Cyprien Ntaryamira and their
staff.
Kagame denies the allegations.
The investigating judges in September 2010 visited Rwanda where they brought experts to reconstruct the shooting of the plane.
The
judges intended to publish the report in March last year but were
compelled to postpone to June 2011, fearing the publication would
coincide with the sensitive month of April.
Judges further faced a serious diplomatic challenge around June considering that Kagame was planning a visit to France.
The
Habyarimana case led to the severing of ties between Rwanda and France.
Kigali accused French soldiers of raping Rwandese women during a
humanitarian operation in 1994.
France has been investigating the assassination because the pilots of the ill-fated plane were French.
During
the Rwanda trip, judges were accompanied by experts in geometry,
ballistics, explosives and fires, hoping to determine the area where the
missiles were fired.
The
judges at the time suspected a commando squad of Rwandan Patriotic
Front, the Tutsi rebel group led by Kagame, who seized power immediately
after the genocide, had broken the defence lines of the mainly Hutu
Rwandan Armed Forces.
Kagame’s
government shifts the blame to Hutu extremists within the FAR whom it
says wanted to eliminate the president in a coup d’état.
An investigation carried out by British experts shows missiles were fired from a heavily fortified FAR Military base
