Greens fight for rights in Kagame's Rwanda

Rwandan security operatives and police broke up the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda's attempt to convene in Kigali, Rwanda on 10.30.2009. I reported this on several blogs and on the OpEdNews, and notified KPFA Radio 94.1FM-Berkeley, which called me on 10.01.2009, with this result. Unfortunately they were not able to reach interim Rwanda Green Party leader Frank Habineza, but Frank can be heard in an on-the-ground BBC report, saying: "There is no rule of law in Rwanda! . . . If you want to keep us out of the elections, and you want to get 99% of the vote, then you have to say it! Enough is enough! We are going forward! We are not going back!" http://anngarrison.blogspot.com/2009/11/there-is-no-rule-of-law-in-rwanda.html

The Green Party needs to blow up those terrorists who interfered with their meeting.

It was THEIR meeting, THEIR legal right to lobby for laws that THEY want.

If those anti-democratic terrorists oppose freedom of choice for ALL political parties, then nobody has to obey the laws that these terrorists impose upon them.

@deskset24: I'll agree that they were terrorists. Problem with that is that Greens are nonviolent. Frank Habineza later pointed out to me that those who busted up the meeting were obviously well fed, eating protein, that they had the confidence of people who eat protein. I went back then, to look at the pictures, and said hmmm, yes indeed, most of these Rwanda Greens are very thin. Not quite starving but very thin.

my friend, Andre Kagwa Rwisereka is dead now! is it worth it? Death is back on my country because of all this political noise. None ngo nitonde, ahaaa, maybe you should reconsider your choices in a country where words can kill faster than bullets.

Rugambage was the example, sadly. Words kill.

Decency in times of death forces me to keep silent for now. Good luck with wars you drag yourselves into. Spare the kids! RIP Andre Kagwa Rwisereka and JLeo Rugambage.

@kazunguzungu Words don't kill. Guns and those firing them killed Jean Leonard Rugambage. Whoever beheaded Andre Kaga Rwisereka killed him. U.S. backing for the killers killed both.

The scheduled founding conference of the troubled Green Party has again been cancelled

@AnnieGetYourGang And then (following from what you said) the Greens wonder why they don't win in the long term - or ever. While the top 2 major political parties - and this goes for every country, NOT just the USA - commit crimes, bully, and use violence to get ahead.

PAUL KAGAME + NKUNDA BATWARE = CRIME IN CONGO

Congolese need justice.

What's the latest on the situation there? The Green Party of England & Wales passed an Emergency Motion at it's Autumn Conference last weekend in support of the Rwanda Democratic Green Party.
