We have been receiving of late several documents from Rwandan opposition leaders outlining their approach to solving the Rwandan political impasse. We contrasted the introduction, discourse, and conclusion from two documents AfroAmerica Network considers to be compelling enough. We found interesting how the authors of the the two documents have almost the same vision. The only major point of discordance is the opinion on the responsibility of the Rwandan Patriotic Front in the Rwandan tragedy.
One was written by a group of Tutsi, former high ranking leaders of the ruling Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) including a General, former Army Chief of Staff, a General Secretary of the RPF, a former Intelligence Chief and a former Prosecutor (Attorney) General. Obviously are careful enough not to incriminate the RPF, perhaps not to implicate themselves. According to sources, this document was presented to the British intelligence and foreign office services by Colonel Patrick Karegeya during a recent trip in London in this past August 2010. It was also proposed during a briefing of Dr. Theogene Rudasingwa by relevant services in Washington, DC this August 2010.
The other was written by a Hutu, one of the leaders of the armed opposition organization, Rally for Unity and Democracy (RUD-Urunana). The responsibility of the RPF is obvious, but the document also points more to individual responsibility than to an ethnic group.
But the most important is that the solutions they propose are consistent and basically they adopt the same approach.
