@Gakondo. I am going to find out with you some logical thinking around the Rwandan genocide of 1994, though I feel it might be difficult seeing where you stand. My family which is Hutu lost many members who were killed by both Interahamwe and RPF elements during the 100 days of 1994 covering what the UN termed as the Rwandan genocide. I know RPF has recuperated the terminology and simply named it the genocide of the Tutsi. If I say that during the genocide I lost many members of my family, am I wrong according to you, or do I become a genocide denial, because in your logic there can only be one genocide in Rwanda, the one that targeted Tutsi?

@James. Maybe you are not at the receiving end of the oppression of Rwandans by president Paul Kagame and his inner circle. It's not however a very ethically enviable place because you involuntary get associated with the oppressing group. The author of the article maybe foreign but he knows more about Rwanda than your leaders want you to know, because they don't want the general public to be aware of all these things. Ask yourself objectively why there isn't in Rwanda any independent press not linked to RPF? Is it because Rwanda is a paradise?

Eight years for exposing the lies, eight years for telling the truth – is there a newer less severe form of “justice” evolving in Rwanda? Ever since the RPF came to power thousands have either “disappeared” or been killed for daring to challenge President Kagame’s blatantly false propaganda regarding his real intentions before, during and since the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

What’s been the true cost of Rwanda’s and Uganda’s subsequent and ongoing control of the very substantial mineral and other resources in neighboring DR Congo?

I pray that Ms. Ingabire’s courage will inspire others in Rwanda and around the world to stand up and challenge those who rule by fear and intimidation. Only when the liars are driven from power and Ms. Ingabire and other jailed opposition leaders trade places with those promoting the “false justice” demonstrated today will any “true justice” be accomplished.

Those of us who refuse to be intimidated shall eventually prevail.

A great article, Milton. It sets straight the facts on what is going on in Rwanda with Paul Kagame’s dictatorship, and particularly his involvement in DRC. On the sentencing of Victoire Ingabire, members of her political party on the ground are saying that the Rwandan president by sentencing her so unfairly, had signed his departure from power.

Milton Allimadi is a shame to journalism! Where in today's world do you think people will eat up your so despicable and Genocide denial rhetoric? You called twice in this article and i quote " Ethnic killings" what was a GENOCIDE! Why should I believe anything you write? May God of Rwanda and continue enlighten the people of the world!

Thanks for writing that so quickly, Milton. Most outlets repeated the very history Victoire challenged as though it were written in stone, without a trace of irony. They might as well have convicted Victoire themselves.

Edmund Kagire, one of Kagame's former state newspaper scribes, now with the East African, wrote the AP wire most are regurgitating.

it is obvious and doesn't need big think to prove that the author has a corrupted mind and is ignorant of the facts on the ground just depending on heresy; plse come to Rwanda and witness the social, economic, reconciliation and democratic achievements under HE President Kagame. Stop your false, assumed supremacy tendencies where you think that yu have to determine our destin. Your ultra motive allegations are not news and will only end in abyss. We are tired of your arrogancy and lies.
