*Kashambuzi, and his UDU party, advocates compiling a list of all Tutsi in Uganda. That is against the law both in Uganda and here in Canada. It is another way of calling for genocide.
So, Uganda must prosecute this man. But instead we see the likes of Ssemuwemba, Betty Kamya etc.....* *wellcome him. But if genocide against Tutsi EVER starts in Uganda me I know to who to run to. I will run, even to break my leg, to one who can get Canadian Consular Staff, to hunt for Kashambuzi. Folks, there is a world class legal mind here few would want to tangle with. When Canadian Natives block The National Railways etc.... like they did at Oka, Quebec, they rush to this same legal mind, to help them screw up the Railways. So, catching Kashambuzi should be that much simpler !! If you know of other genocidal outbursts by Kashambuzi, **besides his "Tusti List", get in touch.
