“ Paul Kagame can be indicted anytime” says ICC Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda.



Pretoria - In  a recent discussion between Rwanda National Congress secretary general  on the African continent, Mr Kennedy Gihana and the ICC Chief Prosecutor  Ms Fatou Bensouda, it is clear that the gross human rights violation committed in the DRC with the support of the Rwandan dictator ( Paul Kagame) is high on the ICC agenda.
 



“ We do one investigation at a time, We have completed the investigations and indicted General Bosco Ntaganda after we convicted Lubanga. We will investigate any body any where regardless their positions. At this stage I can not say whom we are investigating
or considering to investigate”. Said Fatou Bensouda

When asked why the ICC has not used the same principles that were used to successfully prosecute former Liberian President (Charles Taylor) she reiterated that “if the tribunal for DRC crimes was to be created today, we could arrest Kagame as I speak”.
 “Am real disturbed by the Amnesty International report and other reports coming out of Rwanda about crime against humanity including torture, extra judicial killings, secret detentions of civilians in the hands of military institutions”. Said Fatou Bensouda.

The government of Rwanda, led by Paul Kagame, continues to deny her involvement in the DRC conflicts after several reports by UN group of experts and many rights groups has proved it to be the case. Meanwhile innocent Congolese and young men from Rwanda are subjected to fight for unknown causes.

The leadership of RNC assured her of their support of the work of ICC to help bring justice to the people or Rwanda and the DRC.

RWANDA NATIONAL CONGRESS MUST BE GUIDED BY ITS GRASSROOT MEMBERSHIP SAYS COLONEL PATRICK KAREGEYA!

Members of Rwanda National Congress who gathered here at The University of Witswatersrand, Johannesburg reiterated their commitment and determination to find the lasting solution to their homeland dictatorship!

Mr Frank Ntwali who co-ordinate the RNC activities on the African continent, gave the audience a summary of what the organization has achieved so far and shared his views on the next phase of consolidating the gains achieved and the way forward for the organisation!
He emphasized on the need for the membership and Rwandan community at large to ask themselves the tough questions,and instead of asking what their fellow citizens are doing about the need to build a momentum that will eventually bring changes in their homeland,but rather posing the same question to themselves individually! The audiance were excited to see their fellow comrade(Ntwali Frank) who survived an assassination attempt last month being as vibrant and in good health as ever.

Pastor Andre Munonoka who prayed for the gathering reminded those who were there that they should not fear because theirs is a just cause and indeed the truth they stand for will eventually free our people from the york of injustice and massive disregard of human life that prevails in Rwanda.

Colonel Patrick Karegeya who also graced the occasion, spoke on the need for the Rwanda National Congress branches to take arobust role in formulating policies and determine the direction that the organization should take particularly young people who are the future of RNC!

This meeting was also attended by RNC leader in Malawi,Bwana Shyaka Telesphore.
