Gen Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa, a Rwandan dissident and survivor of
three assassination attempts in South Africa, has accused President
Museveni of abetting authoritarianism in Rwanda.
In an interview, Nyamwasa describes Rwanda as an authoritarian regime
that is persecuting the opposition at home and killing those in exile.
He said much as President Museveni doesn't handle Ugandan opposition
politicians with brutish force the way President Paul Kagame does, the
Ugandan leader preaches mayhem in Rwanda.
"Dr Kizza Besigye stayed in exile in South Africa for five years and
when he returned to Uganda, the FDC branch in South Africa is still
operational and the government of Uganda does not call them
terrorists. President Museveni has not killed Col Kizza Besigye and
Gen Mugisha Muntu, his [former] minister and army commander
respectively. He has not killed Olara Otunnu, who was previously
accused of calling for negotiations with [LRA's] Joseph Kony," he
said.
Nyamwasa added: "Compare with President Kagame - incarceration of
President Pasteur Bizimungu and the jubilation about the assassination
of Col Patrick Karegeya."
Nyamwasa also pointed out that in more tolerant Uganda, the family of
the late Col John Ogole, a former UNLA senior officer, has been
promised assistance by the government to repatriate his body from
London for a decent burial in his Lango home.
"Isn't it strange that one exudes kindness and empathy at home and
preaches mayhem in the neighbourhood!" he said of Museveni.
Recently, President Museveni praised Rwanda as being stronger,
politically, socially, militarily and economically. However, Nyamwasa
seeks to remind President Museveni that during the Kisangani clashes
between Ugandan and Rwandan armed forces in 1999 and 2000, the Ugandan
leader described Kagame as treacherous, and later in a letter to Clare
Short (British minister), categorised him as politically bankrupt.
Gen Nyamwasa was instrumental in the Kagame-led Rwanda Patriotic Front
(RPF), which came to power in 1994, ending genocide in that country.
