Johnson Busingye, Rwanda Justice Minister Addresses UN Human Rights Commission on Jan 29, 2021

Rwandan government's human rights records is appalling. The Rwandan government, accused by the World community of the grave human gights Abuses has, grudgingly, agreed to abide by Human Rights Recommendations from United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. The human rights abuses by the Rwandan government include killings or arbitrary imprisonments of opposition leaders, activists, journalists, and civilians, including street children, and human trafficking. These are the widespread findings by the countries around the World during latest International Report on the Review of Human Rights (UPR) sessions, which are held every five years.

On January 25, 2021, Governments around the World, including Africa, Asia, Europe, Noth America, South America, especially the members of the CommonWealth and The European Union, the United States, and others published statements unanimously calling the Rwandan government on systematic human rights abuses, killings and disappearances of political opponents, activists, and journalists. Although the compelling reasons behind the consistent and unanimous condemnations are not clear, AfroAmerica Network has received information on a potential driver of the condemnation: a memorandum written by a well known organization documenting the widely documented systematic human right abuses and violations by the Rwandan governemnt and the perceived inaction by the World community to call the Rwandan Givernment and its leaders on these killings, abuses, and violations.

Rwandan Dictator General Paul Kagame has been conspicuously missing from the public eye since April 2020. His absence has sparked and fueled rumors about declining health and even incapacitation. Sources within the Rwandan Department of Military Intelligence confirm to an AfroAmerica Network correspondent in Kigali that, given the deteriorating health conditions of General Paul Kagame and the infighting among his closest aides (see here: Ailing Rwandan Paul Kagame's Attempts to Cling to Power Through His Daughter Ange Kagame) and his family on the succession, the military leaders supporting Ms. Ange Kagame, have asked General Paul Kagame to impose a country lockdown to be able to better watch the movement of unreliable top military leaders. According to the sources, the current Minister of Defense, Maj. Gen. Albert Murasira, is one, among many, being kept under close watch.
