I agree with you, there is a difference between Somalia and Rwanda/Burundi. The
problem in Rwanda can be solved and what is funny, it is only Tutsis that have
a problem separating them from Hutus.

You have two countries and two people that cannot stand each other, problem
solved. Get the Hutus and hand them Burundi and the Tutsis hand them Rwanda and
give every one 3 months to move. Or give the countries the other way around I
do not care but separate them.
We have just solved the Rwandese problem sir.

Edward Mulindwa, East Africa Federation is the solution for Rwanda-Burundi
historical intra conflicts and it is high time Uganda and Rwanda sent their
armies in DR Congo to flash out negative forces. This is more practical than
sending their SADC forces made up of Tanzania, Malawi and South Africa.
Take an examle of Somalia, initially they had barred neighbours like Ethiopia,
Kenya and Djibouti, but Uganda and Burundi had not made a break through. The
moment the neighbours were allowed, then there was progress.
So, Uganda and Rwanda should help to flash out negative forces from DR Congo.

Internal political shifts in Rwanda triggered by returning diaspora politicians
– By Esther Marijnen
April 16, 2013
By Esther Marijnen
Former Rwandan Prime Minister Faustin Twagiramungu and Gérard Karangwa Semushi
announce their return to Kigali to run for presidential elections in 2017.
Developments related to the conflict in the eastern DRC indicate a renewed wave
of interest in a protracted crisis, which has already lasted for nearly 20
years. In recent weeks, former CNDP leader Bosco Ntanganda handed himself over
to the ICC in The Hague, Mary Robinson was appointed the UN special envoy for
the Great Lakes region, the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the
DRC (and region) was signed and the UN security council approved the creation
of an “offensive” combat force with the intent to “neutralize and disarm” all
negative armed forces in the DRC. All these elements, taken together, make it
appear that serious action is now being undertaken to tackle the causes of
conflict. However, two aspects are currently overlooked: the local requirements
for peace in the DRC, and the main subject to be discussed here – the impact of
future political power shifts in Kigali.
The international community should also not underestimate the impact of
internal shifts in Rwanda on the situation in the Eastern part of Congo. The
coming years, in the run up to the presidential elections in 2017, will be
crucial for Rwanda’s future stability. In this regard, some interesting
developments are already unfolding.
On the 27th of March 2013 Faustin Twagiramungu and Gérard Karangwa Semushi
announced their return to Rwanda to register their respective political
parties; Rwanda Dream Initiative and PDP-Imanzi. This will, theoretically,
allow them to run for the 2017 presidential elections. Currently, the political
space in Rwanda is very limited, how their return impacts the internal power
balances within Kigali will be critical.
Back in 2011, I interviewed both aspiring candidates when I was conducting
field research on the Rwandan political opposition in Brussels. I asked them
about their political aspirations and on how they see the future of Rwanda.
Faustin Twagiramungu was the prime minister of Rwanda from 1994 till 1995 in
the transitional government formed after the Rwandan genocide. Together with
Seth Sendashonga, he became critical of his own government, feeling that he was
being used as a puppet by the RPF. The pair attempted to challenge the
supremacy of the PRF, but their actions were never wholly trusted. Soon after,
they fled the country.
Sendashonga was, shortly after, murdered in Nairobi, the details of which
remain a mystery. There is, however, a widespread belief that the Rwandan
secret services where behind the attack. Twagiramungu arrived in Belgium, where
he was confronted with a divided Rwandan diaspora, some afraid that he was
still loyal to the RPF. In 2003, he went back to Rwanda to run for the
presidential elections but lost to Paul Kagame. After his defeat he returned to
Belgium. In the meantime, he worked to build a platform behind which he could
develop his own political agenda. But, as he revealed to me, he does not
believe in “remote control politics” – he knew he would need to go back to
Rwanda to bring about change in the country.
Gérard Karangwa Semushi is a lesser known Rwandan politician who lives in the
Netherlands, but who is often in Brussels to interact and coordinate with
fellow Rwandans (he is the vice president of Pacte de défense du peuple
[PDP-Imanzi]). The president of the party is Déo Mushayidi, currently in prison
in Rwanda. Considering that another Rwandan opposition leader, Victoire
Ingabire, was also imprisoned when she returned from the Netherlands to run for
the presidential elections in 2010, it is a brave decision of Semushi to return
to Rwanda.
Semushi arrived in the Netherlands in 2000 after he fell out with the RPF
authorities in Rwanda. He was raised in Congo, his parents having fled from
Rwanda in 1961 due to the anti-Tutsi upheavals in the country. He states that
he always felt he was a Congolese, but the political climate in Congo was
slowly changing. Semushi started to be perceived as a ‘foreign’ by those he
felt were his fellow countrymen. The growing anti-Rwandan antagonism in Congo
motivated him to join the RPF and a desire grew to return to the country of his
parents.
After the genocide, Semushi worked for the Ministry of Finance in Kigali.
Following that he worked in the private sector, but when the government wanted
to change the structure of the revenue authority at short notice he criticized
the plans. Perceiving that it was becoming impossible to express such views he
decided to leave Rwanda in 2000. He told me that he still has the same aims as
when he joined the RPF, “we replaced a dictatorship, with another
dictatorship”.
Within the Netherlands Semushi was active within the Higher Inter Rwandan
Dialogue, a mainly diaspora organisation, where open and frank discussions were
encouraged on the future of Rwanda. Sumushi, however, professes aspirations to
hold a dialogue within Rwanda instead of the diaspora, and to establish a
roadmap for the country. Once a roadmap was established, Sumushi desired to go
into Rwandan politics, but now realizes that a reversal of that order is the
only possibility.
The Great Lakes region at large has a long history of diaspora politics, often
the nascent political opposition stems from the diaspora and returns to the
country to challenge incumbent regimes. The timing of the announcement from
Twagiramungu and Semushi is well-planned. Recently, Rwanda has come under
increasing international pressure regarding involvement within the eastern part
of the DRC, and the recent transfer of Bosco Ntanga to the ICC has made the
regime nervous regarding the extent to which he will reveal Rwanda’s
involvement and support for the M23.
The international community has of late become came quite distracted from the
internal political situation in Rwanda. The country was criticized after the
most recent elections for the indictment of Ingabire and as a result donors
were increasingly demanding for greater political space. However, since the
elections in the DRC and the renewed crisis in the east, the donor community
paid less attention to Rwanda’s internal politics.
The elections in 2017, which might seem far away, will be of tremendous
historical value for Rwanda. Kagame has indicated on several occasions that he
will not run for a third term, something that has been viewed with scepticism
by observers. He declared in an interview that he “would have been a bad leader
if there was nobody else ready in Rwanda to take over the presidency in 2017”.
With the return of two prominent Rwandan politicians to Rwanda, the internal
process for the opening of the political space will soon start off. Thereby,
the internal political climate and process in Rwanda will have an impact on
transformations within the wider Great Lakes region, and especially in the
eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
