Rwanda opposition moves to form wide coalition
(AFP) - 15 minutes ago
Brussels -- Seven Rwandan opposition parties, including former rebels
operating in the Democratic Republic of Congo, met in Brussels on
Saturday in moves to create a broad coalition, former prime minister
Faustin Twagiramungu said.
"We hope to set up a structure enabling us to pressure the government
into agreeing to dialogue with the Rwandan opposition, including the
FDLR," Twagiramungu told AFP, referring to Rwandan Hutu rebels
operating in the restive east of neighbouring DR Congo -- the
Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda.
The rebels -- who include the remnants of the Hutu militia who carried
out the 1994 genocide of Tutsis in Rwanda -- have allied themselves to
Twagiramungu's Rwandan Dream Initiative (RDI).
The FDLR was one of four groups who agreed at the talks Saturday to
unite in a Coalition of Political Parties for Change (CDC), along with
the Socialist Party, the RDI and the Rwandan Democratic Union (UDR).
"The other three parties will join us fairly quickly but first need to
consult," said UDR leader Paulin Murayi.
"We have agreed on a structure and will be issuing a policy programme
on launching the movement on March 19."
Two decades after the 1994 genocide, Rwanda's economic progress has
been held up for praise but President Paul Kagame's seemingly
hardening stance has cast a shadow on its ties with the rest of the
world.
His government has been accused of eliminating exiled dissidents and
backing rebel warlords who recruit child soldiers in the DR Congo.
