[Rwanda Forum] Exclusive | As Trump’s African Peace Deal Teetered, a Call From Rwanda Halted U.S. Sanctions - WSJ


Exclusive | As Trump's African Peace Deal Teetered, a Call From Rwanda Halted U.S. Sanctions - WSJ.

WASHINGTON—In late January, Rwandan President Paul Kagame placed a call to U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham asking him to help stop the White House from imposing sanctions on his country for breaking a peace deal brokered by President Trump.


Graham obliged—arguing that Rwanda was a reliable U.S. partner and sanctions could alienate it. The White House shelved the sanctions, according to several officialsfamiliar with the matter.


The events, which haven't been reported before, point to divisions within the U.S.

government over how to handle Rwanda, whose actions via armed proxies have

reignited the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo.


Graham, a Republican from South Carolina who is close to Trump, contacted the White House as well as the office of Vice President JD Vance, the officials and aides said. The senator argued that Rwanda was a relatively reliable American security partner that has made good on promises to deliver critical minerals to the U.S.—and that sanctions could undermine its participation in the peace deal.

[Rwanda Forum] Who is Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, the butcher of Southport, UK?

   If Axel Muganwa Rudakubana had been a son of a Hutu, what would have been the news headlines in Kagame's mouthpiece tabloids? Since Axel Rudakubana's parents are Tutsi genocide survivors, and his father, Alphonse Rudakubana, is a nephew of Wellars Gasamagera, the Secretary General of Rwanda's ruling party - RPF, the tragedy that occurred in the UK has not been mentioned by any tabloids or news outlets in Rwanda. However, had Axel Muganwa Rudakubana been a child of a Hutu, or a child of a Tutsi opposition figure, we can all guess the type of headline that would have appeared in the tabloid controlled by Criminal Paul Kagame. But now, they remain silent on this despicable tragedy. FYI...

Fwd: [Rwanda Forum] Kagame aritegura gupfa. Ashaje yanduranya cyane !

Kagame aritegura gupfa. Ashaje yanduranya cyane !   Ibimenyesto ni byinshi. Asigaye avuga Imana ariko yanageraho akayivugira ibitaribyo, akayibeshyera, akavuga abo atashimiye yabajyana mu muriro utazima.   Asigaye yiyambaza Imana kuko abona ko byarangiye, ubuzima burimo ku mucika. Imyaka ibaye myinshi  asuzugira amadini n'abaykorera, yarerekana ko amadini ntacyo amaze, ko ahubwo yakoze genocide. Ko amadini nta terambere yazanye mu Rwanda, ko byose u Rwanda rufite rwatangiriye kuri we.

Biyo nta kabuza azajya mu ijuru. Kagame rero agomba kuba azi ko iminsi ye ibaze. Amaze kubona ko Imana ntaho yayihungira ku bibi yakoreye abanyarwanda. It's too little too late !   -- ________________________________________________________________ -Ushobora kohereza mess...
