Africa 360 - Kayumba Nywamwasa exclusive

6 September 2014, Johannesburg - Former Rwandan army Chief of staff, Kayumba Nyamwasa, spoke to Kwangu Liwewe about what it will take for him to return to Rwanda after numerous attempts on his life, for which he blames President Paul Kagame.

In Rwanda now it is a war boiling in hearts. I'm praying for the country but development for Humanity isn't in infrastructure but in freedom of expression and dialogue

Freedom of expression is not as important as financial freedom, look at where Libya is now

[@MrBreakThrough2]

@@ironman5034 Wow! I'm surprised that you think money comes before humanity. I'm amused that you think Rwandan locals are financially free just because a communist country is considered financially strong. I'm disappointed that you think Libyan war was as a result of freedom of expression which was a dependent variable.

[@gladkal3202]

The problem in Africa again is selfish and greedy leaders overstaying in power and becoming dictators.......for as long as a leader refuses to leave power he has automatically become a dictator and however well he runs the country, that country is still politically unstable and will create freedom fighters who will in the end topple that dictator.

[@therwandannoble2034]

Gladkal When is that going to happen ? Join them and bring it on .

[@agasarodaniella1534]

Gladkal have you been to Rwanda for you to say that it is political unstable??? And for your information he did not vote for himself and yeah we voted for our President Paul Kagame and long live to him ✊I don’t think there’s someone who could’ve possibly handled Rwanda in this short period of time like our President may the wisdom of God stay upon you My President 🙏

[@gladkal3202]

My dear nobody lives forever, at some point he has to go like all living things....that’s why it is VERY IMPORTANT for all leaders to understand this and to train, nurture and encourage other aspiring leaders who would be able to take their place when their time is up......failure to do this inevitably leads to unrest, instability, jealousies, imprisonment and even killing of opponents. This is a law of humanity that none of us can escape.

[@therwandannoble2034]

Gladkal Let me educate you a little bit about Rwanda, please. First and foremost, Rwanda is unique in everything compared to other nations, thus you make wrong assumptions about what future holds for Rwanda, politically. Rwanda was not created by Kagame and will never end with Kagame. The only reason led to Rwanda's demise in 1994, was not about the former Rwandan president " Habyar-Imana " staying longer in power. No and no. In Rwandan tradition, a leader can stay in power as long as the people want him to stay on, it is a recorded history in Rwanda. The only problem that led to Rwanda's destruction in 1994 was that the former Rwandan president went along Franco - Belgium political phylosophy of claiming that his opponents, Tutsi in Rwanda, are not Rwandans but foreigners who migrated to Rwanda some thousands of years ago. And all these people you see here claiming to be pro-democracy fighters, are actually Western proxies. If Kagame were to pass away tonight, there will be his replacement in minutes, not hours. Kagame is not the only one capable of Running Rwanda, but he is the only one we chose for the time being. We don't believe in Western stupid political phylosophy of rotating leaders who are functioning well, we want change in lives, from worse to better. That's why you see Kagame getting elected over and over again, it is because we are happy with his performance. If he doesn't perform well, we'll vote him out in no time. Please don't worry about Rwanda's political future, it is well protected more than you can imagine. If you don't believe me, then try us, in any way you see fit.

[@yuhiirichard4927]

And when will you start minding your business..the Rwandans are clear about who they want! And that’s the one who led us out of the mud.

What happened to you is sad, nobody should be hurt like that. But who cares what you think about how kagame is ruling the country? Rwanda is doing very well under Kagame and it has become a model for Africa. That's the most important. You were fighting for power and you lost, get over it and move on.

[@afrisonmwaf5221]

It is doing well in destabilizing congo and stealing their wealth. Kagame is a murderer and a thief

[@yapadqoi]

Afrison Mwafrika How come a tiny little country (26 338 km²/12 millions inhabitants) with very little resources can destabilize a huge country (2,3 millions km2 / 78 millions inhabitants) which happens to sit on one of the richest lands on earth?? You are probably one of those jealous folks that cannot stand the economic success and the amazing human developement of that small country. All Africans(except some weirdos) are proud of and admire what this country, his people and his leader have accomplished and everyone - including me - wants to see that example replicated in their country. Stop fantasizing on Small Rwanda destabilizing and exploiting Big Congo and try to build your country with the tremendous natural resources you got and stop whining.

[@dortmoon4860]

yapadqoi Rwanda did not defeat Zimbabwe, Namibia, Angola in 1998. congo defeat Rwandans and hundee killed many RWandese. the first organized congolese troops, known as the force Publique, were created in 1888. the Congolese force Publique saw combat in Cameroon, and successfully invaded and conquered areas of German In East africa, notablely present day Rwanda, during world war 1 you weak vagrants could not even invade congo. it takes Angola, Zambia, America, Uganda, South Africa, Rwanda to invade Congo in 1996 and claim that mobutu was a dictator. kagame himself beg americans and states that mobutu was a dictator if it wasn't america, South Africa & Angola troops Rwandans will still get annihilated by hundee tribes. and rwandans did not help Mozambique you were still under oppression of mobutu remember mobutu ruled rwanda and DR Congo. east congo belongs to Uvira people, wafuliru, bashi, bembe, etc you will never claim what is not yours. we even have rwandan president yet he haven't take east congo away. you failed vagabonds stop making up some fake stories to justify yourselves....

[@sozekeyzer7837]

I have first to admit i am a PK fan even though not rwandese. The issue with nyamwasa is the credibility issue just the same as besigye. How can you be with an individual for over 30 years then all of a sudden you wake up and realize that your partner of over 30 years is at fault? You all shared the same dream and vision, what new can you bring on the table? Why did you come out now after all those years that you were towing the line? You have started to shift blame by saying that you were not in command then and not also in Kigali during the shooting of the plane. When are you going to grow balls and admit your involvement in any issue being investigated. I believe some of the 'sanctioned' PK killings you were part of the government then and also in charge of intelligence. I am not against change in rwanda but honestly enough PK has done what none of the current african leaders had achieved. Pk will not live forever so change will come but it must be in the right channel. By the way HOW DO YOU FINANCE YOUR LIFESTYLE IN SOUTH AFRICA? SOUTH AFRICA IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN KIGALI

[@mugulakikawa]

Are you saying people don’t change? We all know how African leaders change. But if you thing Nyamwasa is a traitor, go back to the genesis of the issue and be honest. You’ll be surprised the skeletons people have in their closets.

[@sozekeyzer7837]

@@mugulakikawa I am aware of how African leaders change. i am not saying Nyamwasa is a traitor but am affirming that his alignments have suddenly changed and shouldn't be trusted as much. Why then should he form a faction that is 100% geared towards destabilizing the nation. If you are a Rwandese, are you comfortable to relieve the horrible loop again? Kagame will not live forever and at one point he will have to step down whether willingly or not. The peace and stability enjoyed should be allowed to prevail AT ALL COSTS. Remember peace and stability does not mean that 100 percent freedom, lack of poverty and so on. Even USA the so called Capital city of Democracy is full of CRAP. Rwanda has progressed because of stability. I have lived in Rwanda for 1 year, I know and believe there is potential for it to outgrow itself. Majority of African countries are looking to Rwanda for direction towards 'Canaan', and as much as some would say it's false hopes i believe it has achieved MORE than the rest in the shortest time possible. You aim for the sun to reach the moon. Even if we can achieve half of what Rwanda has done in proportion to Africa's economy it will be a step towards prosperity for Africa as a whole.
