1️⃣Rwandans wake up, he came to kill, steal, & destroy. Jesus warns us about an enemy who seeks to ruin human lives while offering abundant life in return. I also feel a powerful voice speaking within me, crying out for all those he killed in pain.

Unfortunately, he can't name a single good thing Kagame has done for Africans besides killing them. He's killed at least one national from every single SADC & EAC member state. Is that what we should applaud him for, like these enemies of Africa who don't love us only love ours?
Kagame’s Congressional Mercenaries Scramble to Shield Their Dictator From Washington’s Growing Wrath
Meet Kagame’s Washington team tasked with an impossible mission — whitewashing him in the Washington corridors of power.
They are led by U.S. Congressman Trent Kelly. They call themselves U.S.–Rwanda Congressional Caucus focused on an impossible task: strengthening diplomatic, economic, and security ties between the United States and General Paul Kagame’s dictatorship.
Embarrassingly, a complete roster of members is not publicly available — membership is opaque. Trent Kelly is the only publicly listed leader of the U.S.–Rwanda Congressional Caucus.
In his recent statement, Kelly called Kagame a special person who does a lot not only for Rwanda but for the whole of Africa.
Good luck with that.

I respect all people, especially mothers like these, but they are being manipulated by a friend & compatriot to cover up truths only he knows. I wish we Rwandans would stop putting all our trust & hope in one individual. As believers know, even the Bible forbids it.
MY RESPONSE TO TABITHA GWIZA AND HER GUESTS
In a broadcast hosted by Tabitha Gwiza (@Tgwiza1), featuring Louis Rugambage, Theo Mutsindashyaka and retired Sgt. Jonathan Musonera, I came under sustained personal attack. The Rwanda National Congress and its leaders were also targeted.
What prompted these attacks? I criticised a prayer by Adeline Mukangemanyi Rwigara. Tabitha and her guests accused me of attacking and mocking Mrs Rwigara. I reject that claim. My comments addressed the content of the prayer and explained why I considered it inflammatory and inappropriate.
I asked Tabitha for a right of reply so I could answer the allegations before the same audience. She declined. In a subsequent broadcast, she insulted me and ended by calling me “stupid.”
On Saturday, 14 November 2026, I will respond in my own broadcast. I will address the false claims point by point, show what I actually said and examine what Tabitha and her guests sought to achieve by presenting my comments as a personal attack.
I’m sharing an excerpt from my original commentary below. I encourage you to listen before Saturday so you can hear my words for yourself and judge whether the allegations reflect what I actually said.

Like what? U claim "so many," yet u can't name even one gd thing he has done for Africans besides killing them. Kagame has killed the children of over 10 African c'tries mostly those that dared to try saving the DRC, millions of Rwandans. That is the legacy he is leaving behind.
"President #Kagame is special. He does so many things, not just for Rwanda but for all of Africa" @RepTrentKelly

There seems to be a structured anti-RNC clique, yet the Rwandan opposition should operate like a family instead of making attacks on 1 another our focus. Even in our own families, we don't agree on everything, yet we stay united. We don't need to be perfect to coexist in peace.
A Right of Reply: Let the Public Hear Both Sides
After considering the feedback on my earlier statement, I recognise that my wording may have sounded confrontational. I am therefore replacing my request to remove the broadcast with a request for a Right of Reply.
My statement was firm because I take the allegations against me and the Rwanda National Congress seriously. My intention remains to defend our reputation and seek a correction. I respect the right to criticise us, just as we have the right to respond with facts.
Tabitha Gwiza, @Tgwiza1, I request a fair opportunity on Tabby G to address the allegations aired on 8 November 2026, present the facts and answer questions before the same audience that heard them.
Please confirm your willingness to host that discussion and propose a suitable date. Should you decline, I will publish my response independently. The public deserves to hear both sides and assess the facts.
I hope you will welcome this opportunity for a respectful, factual discussion that allows your viewers to make an informed judgment.

As the days pass, more grievances emerge among Rwandans simply bcoz we're arrogantly dishonest with ourselves. Our failure to accept advice, tolerate divergent opinions, & practice inclusion is becoming a serious concern. Every1 prioritises self-interest over the common good.

Many think being good is bad or hard, but it’s simply not doing others what u hate having done to u. Instead, treat them exactly how u wish to be treated.

Loyalists of the Rwandan regime think the U.S. can be run like Rda where the c'try is 1 man's shop that he opens & closes whenever he wants. Thinking there is an American ruling party that will ignore the DRC is just as foolish as thinking they will ignore American interests.
To all @PaulKagame’s Spineless (as he calls y’all) who think changes in U.S. politics will save his regime from pressure,wake up from that dream😁
Both Democrats and Republicans in America are united against #Kagame’s dictatorship and his brutal war in eastern Congo.
Because #Kagame refused to respect the Washington Accords, the U.S. hit the Rwandan army (@RwandaMoD ) with direct sanctions in March 2026. Now, both parties are making sure those punishments stick. After Democratic Senator @JeffMerkley and Republican Senator @MarshaBlackburn demanded answers, the NBA kicked the army owned #APR team out of the Basketball Africa League.
No matter which party holds power in Washington, neither side supports war and oppression. Wishful thinking will not erase these sanctions.
Until #Kagame stops destabilizing Congo respects peace deals and open political space in #Rwanda the isolation and punishment will only grow worse.

The @NBA and @F1 are exposing themselves to millions, if not billions, of dollars in lawsuits as a result of reported atrocities committed by Rwanda's President @PaulKagame and his #M23 in the #DRC under a U.S. law known as the Alien Tort Statute.
The Alien Tort Statute is a federal law that grants U.S. federal district courts civil jurisdiction over lawsuits brought by foreign nationals for torts committed in violation of international law or a treaty of the United States. This means that victims of Kagame in Rwanda and the DRC could potentially sue the #NBA and #F1 in U.S. courts.
Alleged atrocities committed by #Kagame, if linked to funding provided by the #NBA and Formula 1, could give rise to lawsuits against those organizations in U.S. courts.
Our advice to the NBA and F1: Think twice before getting into bed with an alleged human rights abuser and sponsor of terrorism.

US Senate challenges Rwanda’s $7 million NBA partnership after country lands Formula One and major football deals
Rwanda’s growing ambitions to position itself as a global sports destination have secured partnerships with Formula 1 and some of Europe’s biggest football clubs. But its commercial relationship with the National Basketball Association (NBA) is facing renewed scrutiny from two US senators over the country’s role in the conflict in neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
As a Rwandan, Rwanda & its leadership are my primary concern. I believe the question every rational person is asking himself is this: why is Rwanda's ruler still allowed absolute power in 2026, leaving him to believe that committing mass atrocities with impunity is his f. right?
Hundreds of people marched through the eastern Congolese city of Uvira to protest against the M23 rebellion and the advance of forces now operating under the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation

While this is a welcome &positive step 2ward distancing ignorant or intentional accomplices, the core prob remains Kagame himself. The Kagame we're talking about isn't just the specific institutions; he's a Rdan ruler with absolute power, bigger& wealthier than the nation itself.
Kagame’s Sportswashing Empire Shattered: NBA Kicks Out the Sanctioned Rwandan Military Team in Devastating Blow to Regime
General Paul Kagame’s world has collapsed on him as the NBA officially confirmed the removal of Rwanda’s military-backed team from the Basketball Africa League following US sanctions.
This decisive expulsion shatters Kagame’s aggressive "sportswashing" strategy, stripping away a glossy PR facade to expose the underlying geopolitical rot.
By refusing to shield a sanctioned military regime, the NBA has delivered a devastating public humiliation to the dictator, proving that high-profile sports partnerships can no longer camouflage his regime's brutal actions.

We applaud the @NBA for removing the Rwandan Defence Force (@RwandaMoD) from its Africa league. Nevertheless, why it took this long for the #NBA to eject the RDF is mind-blowing, since the reported atrocities committed by forces sponsored by President @PaulKagame are well known.

Thank you, President Trump @POTUS for once again holding the Kagame regime accountable. By terminating Rwanda’s AGOA eligibility, you have sent a clear message that trade privileges are not a free pass for authoritarianism, human rights abuses, and Kagame's practices that pose a threat to U.S. national security and foreign policy interests in the region.
Never before was there a leader like President Trump who dared to call out Paul Kagame’s wrongs by terminating Rwanda’s AGOA eligibility and imposing sanctions over its role in the eastern Congo conflict.
President Trump is the only U.S. president to bring the leaders of Rwanda and the DRC together for the Washington Accords to end the nearly 30-year conflict in eastern Congo after decades of failed efforts by others. The Rwandan and Congolese people who have endured years of suffering under Kagame regime warmly welcome President Trump’s principled stand for peace, accountability, and a brighter future.

This is Dr. Von Batten. I applaud the people of the #DRC, their bold President, Félix Tshisekedi (@FelixUdps @Presidence_RDC), and their amazing diplomatic team for their relentless fight in D.C. to give President @PaulKagame a taste of his own medicine.
AGOA is just the beginning. We believe that it is in the national security interests of the United States for true democracy to return to Rwanda. Unlike former President #Kabila, who rolled out the red carpet for his boss, #Kagame, to murder innocent Congolese and plunder the natural resources of the DRC, President Tshisekedi has made it clear: "Not on my watch."
Today, this firm makes another prediction: If #Kagame continues on his #M23 course of action, he will one day either suffer the fate of #Gaddafi or that of Charles Taylor: Face the justice of a liberated Rwandan people or spend the rest of his life in an international prison cell. For the national security interests of the United States and the DRC are now intertwined. #FAFO

President @realDonaldTrump signed a short-term extension of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) on February 3, 2026.
This firm is once again actively pushing the White House to remove the Republic of #Rwanda from the #AGOA eligibility list due to clear violations of Section 104 of the Act stemming from its role in facilitating war crimes and human rights violations in eastern #DRC.
President @PaulKagame, if you think this is a bluff, ask Prime Minister @AbiyAhmedAli of Ethiopia. He thought we were bluffing in 2021.

Rwanda isn't in good hands. This is what I call building on a foundation of ashes -relying on temporary, self-enriching policies where 1person is e/thing. His advisors fear him deeply; they're forced to study his moods& tell him only what he wants to hear, rather than the facts.

President @PaulKagame is used to bullying weak leaders, leaders like former President Kabila. President Félix Tshisekedi (@Presidence_RDC, @FelixUdps), unlike former President Kabila, is prepared to defend his country's sovereignty and natural resources. The DRC is fighting back.

A BLUE HELMET CANNOT SHIELD A SANCTIONED MILITARY FROM ACCOUNTABILITY.
The Rwanda National Congress and affiliated civil-society organizations have submitted an open letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres and senior UN officials demanding the removal of Rwandan forces from UN peacekeeping missions.
The letter raises a fundamental contradiction: how can the United Nations continue deploying and reimbursing forces linked to a defence establishment sanctioned by the United States over Rwanda’s military involvement in the Democratic Republic of Congo and its support for M23?
