Prepare yourselves of what is going to hit Rwanda, as it will be more powerful than the 1994 genocide. Just wait for it as it is it's just around the corner.

[Rwandan100]

This Bastard robbed our country and took the money to the western banks, and he's now criticizing our president!! If this mafucker happens to be the President i would go to the bush en fight him!! GOD BLESS KAGAME & RWANDA

[RwandaNziza1]

this is for mngabo, you said that your advise to Rudasingwa is to ask for pardon from kagame. let me tell you something you may forgot about the country constitions, No one is the abave of the Law include President Kagame, he should be the one whom need to ask the rwandais pardon because in the future he will be like others , Mubarak, kaddafi etc. Kagame is killing rwandais everyday not Rudasingwa. let me remind you that Mapping report is there to prouve it justice will be served

Rudasingwa is saying the truth!

[WALLENBERGFRAUD]

The Swedish government helped UN and Washington to kill 800000 people in Rwanda. You need to wake up and see what Wallenberg and the Swedish gov. are doing in Africa since 1956.

[mngabo2003]

My advice to Rudasingwa is to change his approach, accept his past mistakes and ask for pardon from President Kagame, the RPF and the Rwandan people. That way, Rudasingwa has some chance of being rehabilitated and brought back into the new Rwandan society which he at some stage contributed to reconstruct. Rudasingwa is one of the early cadres of the RPF and if him and his friends can repent and change their ways, the RPF has always been so magnanimous and will do the same to its lost babies.

[mngabo2003]

As Director of Cabinet in President Kagame's government, Rudasingwa the abuses he accuses his former boss. It is only when he fell out with President kagame because of his corrupt tendencies that he saw the "light". Having held those juicy positions and lost them by his own fault, Rudasingwa has failed to accept the situation as it is. He thinks he can blackmail the GoR using malicious propaganda in the media. Rudasingwa should know that President Kagame is not the type who bends to blackmail.

[mngabo2003]

Rudasingwa claims he left govt because of disagreement with President Kagame yet we know he was relieved of his duties as Director of cabinetbecause of fraud; creation of a ghost company to fleece the government. He claims to be fighting for freedom and democracy yet we know all is about personal entitlements. While still Secretary general RPF he never raised any concerns about freedom and democracy. When he was ambassador, he did not see those defaults of GoR he claims to see now.

[mngabo2003]

though outwardly appears concerned about the wellbeing of his country, Rudasingwa's criticism of President Kagame is not driven by a genuine intention to salvage the country. He claims that only Kigali is developing, yet we know lots of development taking place in other parts of Rwanda. Rural electrification, more schools, health centers, medical care for all, UPE, a cow for the poor, infant/mother mortality rates going down, life expectancy on rise, MDGS being met. Rwanda is on rise!
