Seriously, your idiocy is unparalled. Ugandan problem is Mu7 and his movement
govt; Rwandese problem is the PRA and their leader, Kagame. These individuals
are still at the helm, directing the devastation of these nations! Unless you
are in cahoot with them, stop misleading wananchi by attempting to redirect
their attention to none issue at this point in time.
There are systemic approach to any issue!

As we continue to discuss Uganda issues and getting to understand what FDC
is, I need some body from the whole list of members of FDC we have in this
forum, to clarify these reports. And if Colonel Samson Mande can only be kind
enough to shed some light on what exactly happened to the plane of the Rwandese
President. From the report I am posting here down under, it is alleged that a
meeting to plan the assassination of the President of Rwanda was held in
Rwakitura, and among those that attended that meeting was Colonel Samson Mande
and Mugisha Muntu. This report continues that the missiles that were used to
bring down this air craft were purchased in Russia and Colonel Samson Mande's
name is indicated on the certificate of their purchase. The reason I Need a
clarification from these good gentlemen, is that the shooting down of this
aircraft resulted into massive deaths of Rwandese, thus the Rwandese genocide.
Can some body please clarify these reports, on whether Colonel Samson Mande (a)
actually purchased the missiles and his name was on the purchase certificates,
and (b) did he attend the meeting in Rwankitura with Mugisha Muntu to plan the
assassination of the Rwandese president?
I am all ears.

The M7, Kagame hand in shooting down of Habyarimana plane
Last updated : 04 July 2007, Kampala
Shortly after the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) had reluctantly
agreed to the Arusha Peace Accord in 1993, they met in Rwakitura to find how to
help the Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA) to take power in Kigali. They agreed that
the quickest way was to assasinate President Juvenal Habyarimana of Rwanda. Hit
squads and other ways were discused but the one we want to report on was to
shoot down the presidential jet. Rwakitura for those who don't know is
Museveni's village home.
Some of the people who attended that meeting were then Uganda's powerful
Director General of ISO Brig. Jim Muhwezi, Col Samson Mande the military
attache to Uganda's High Commission in Dar es Salaam (who by the way is
indicated on the certificate of purchase of the Russian made missiles that were
used), Gen. Paul Kagame, Lt. Col. James Kabarebe of the RPA, Col. Theoneste
Lizinde and a host of other RPF top dogs. (Col. Lizinde had defected to the RPA
after serving as Pres. Habyarimana's director of intelligence).
But in order to shoot down the plane, the problem was how to trap
President Habyarimana into flying in such that his schedule and movements could
be tracked. So they did it by calling a meeting where heads of state would
come.There were good excuses for this. At that time the Arusha peace agreement
between the RPF/RPA and Rwandan government was stuck. There were also problems
in Burundi.
So Museveni convinced President Mwinyi of Tanzania to call a summit
meeting to discuss these problems. The meeting finally took place on April 6
1994 in Dar es Salaam. Among the topics was the progress of integrating RPF in
the so called interim government in Kigali, which had been agreed on in the
Arusha accords.
At Dar es Salaam, first, this man Museveni arrived extremely late. Then
also during the meeting he kept talking and talking about irrelevant things
which had nothing to do with agreed agenda and the meeting couldn't end on
time. Ugandans know that this is typical Museveni backward manners, where he
delays for hours thinking the whole world should wait for him and then enjoy
the sound of his voice for more hours.
But looking back, it seems Museveni made sure Habyarimana was delayed in
Tanzania until dusk so that by the time they would arrive in Kigali, it would
be dark (insecure). Darkness would be the best time in terms of visibility
(planes lights, and noise as the city is quieter) and the shooters not being
detected under cover of darkness.
You shall recall, that after their meeting M7 was on the tarmac to see
off Habyarimana. It is said that the late Habyarimana offered to travel with
the Ugandan ambassador to Rwanda, Ignatius Katetegirwe but the ambassador
declined saying he had unfinished business in Tanzania.
However the plot (to down the plane) had leaked to Tanzanian
intelligence. Some people say the director of Tanzania's Intelligence and
Security service, Major General Imrani Kombe did warn Habyarimana not to travel
that evening.
But as was characteristic of Habyarimana, he did not take the advice,
reasoning that since he had agreed to step down from power and hand over to an
interim government, then there was no need to eliminate him.
Habyarimana left Dar-es-Salaam Airport about 6:30pm East African Time and
approached Kanombe International Airport in Kigali at approximately 8.20pm
Central African Time. The RPA had taken positions under the flight path which
planes used to approach Kanombe airport to Land. As the presidential Falcon jet
came in to land, two surface-to-air (SAM) missiles were fired, one of which hit
the presidential plane hence bringing it down and killing everyone on board.
The plane was confirmed downed at about 8:30pm. Incidentally April 6 1994, the
day Habyarimana was assassinated, was his 58th birthday.
The claim that the Rwandese "Akazu" or kitchen cabinet composed of his
wife Agathe Habyarimana and her brothers plotted to kill Habyarimana is
untenable because Col. Elly Segatwa (Director of Intelligence) who was his
brother-in-law and other relatives of the first lady Agathe were on the same
plane and met the same fate.
You shall recall the RPA had sent about 600 troops to Kigali after the
Arusha accord, and in fact also continued to secretly infiltrate many more
soldiers into Kigali using contacts in Habyarimana's government like Gen.
Marcel Gatsinzi. Immediately after downing the plane, that very night the RPA
attacked Kigali including the La Presidence, the seat of the President but were
repulsed.
On morning of the following day April 7, among the first victims of the
chaos that overhwelmed Rwanda for months to come were former Prime Minister
Agathe Uwilingiyimana. Units of the ex Rwandan Armed Forces (FAR) attacked the
Prime Minister's residence and killed both Agathe and her husband. Ten Belgian
soldiers under the UN force United Nations Assistance Mission to Rwanda
(UNAMIR) who were guarding her were arrested and later also murdered.
The bringing down of the plane was well a hatched plan. Col. Lizinde who
had been Habyarimana's Intelligence Chief was instrumental in providing secret
details about the Rwandan government and of the best coordinates to hit
Habyarimana's plane when it was approaching Kanombe airport. However much as
there were efforts to absolve Uganda and RPF including the elimination of
potential witnesses like Col. Lizinde, the evidence would finally emerge.
In January 1996, Gen. Kombe the Tanzanian Military Intelligence chief was
shot dead mysteriously at a fake road block. In 1998 Lizinde was assassinated
by suspected RPA agents in Nairobi but the tubes used to shoot the misiles
which the French Judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere used to pin Kagame were never to be
'assassinated'. On them the serial numbers were found which were traced to the
arms factory in Russia and the purchaser is also well indicated.
Well, we as Radio Katwe have asked our dear readers that why is it that
Uganda's ambassador Ignatius Katetegirwe closed down the Uganda embassy a few
days before the plane was shot down and why was the Uganda embassy not looted
or destroyed during the "genocide"? Why did senior RPF officers in Kigali (as
part of the Arusha accords) rush to bring their relatives back to Uganda
shortly before that fateful day April 6 1994?
There are still many questions but we are getting info from Rwandans at
home and abroad and soon we shall have the whole story complete.
We are also interested to know what the late Lt. Col. Reuben Ikondere was
doing in Kigali leading a Ugandan battalion round about the time of the
shooting of the plane.
