When Victoire Ingabire came to Rwanda in 2010 to run in the presidential election after touring Europe and meeting Hutu Power extremists, especially in Rouen, France, she came with Joseph Ntawangundi as personnel Assistant. That was the most innocent man among FDU Inkingi members who could accompany the president of the party to Rwanda.

 

Upon arrival, the photo of Ingabire with Ntawangundi started to circulate and the man was recognized and arrested on a pending Gacaca courts warrant.

 

Ingabire cried foul and issued a statement to the international media claiming that her adviser was not in Rwanda during the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi.

 

 Ntawangundi was convicted of killing and causing the death of students and a teacher under his care while serving as the Headmaster of EAV/Gitwe Agriculture School located in Ngoma District, Eastern Province.

 

Ingabire said that Ntawangundi never worked in the education sector, in the statement she distributed in international media outlets, citing political reasons as being behind his arrest. In her statement, she argued that Ntawangundi never worked in the education sector, meaning that he never served as a headmaster at the school in question. She lied that the accused left the country in 1992 to work with the International Confederation of Free Trade Union in Nairobi, Kenya and was not in Rwanda in 1994.

 

Ntawangundi pleaded guilty for his role during the genocide against the Tutsi and he is serving his 17-year sentence at Nyarugenge Prison where he is an active member of the Unity and Reconciliation Club.  If Ntawangundi was the innocent man in the eyes of Ingabire when she was still in Europe, how about the rest of the members of her party?

 

Ingabire was not in the country when the genocide against Tutsi happened. As such, she was seen as a clean representative of the association of members of the genocidal government. She assumed that her political masquerading would protect them under FDU-Inkingi. But where are FDU-Inkingi origins?

 

The FDU-Inkingi is a coalition of Rwandan opposition groups established on April 29, 2006 as an alliance of the Republican Rally for Democracy in Rwanda (RDR), Action for Impartial International Justice in Rwanda, the Democratic Forces for Resistance and the Rwandan Democratic Alliance, with RDR leader Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza elected President of UDF.

 

 In her foreword in the “Rwanda Rwacu” magazine of November 2000, Ingabire acknowledged that RDR was founded in Mugunga refugee camp, in the DRC, and pledged to preserve its ideals and objectives.

 

The RDR was created on March 29, 1995, in a meeting chaired by Gen Augustin Bizimungu.

 

Bizimungu, the chief of staff of the army that backed the 1994 Genocide, in June 2014 failed to overturn a 2011 jail sentence of 30 years by a UN court. The ICTR ruled that Bizimungu, who was arrested in Angola in 2002, had complete control over the government troops during the 100 days the Genocide lasted.

 

Participants in the March 1995 meeting included Charles Ndereyehe, Lt Col BEM Juvenal Bahufite, and Col Joseph Murasampongo. Maj Aloys Ntabakuze and Gen Bizimungu were secretary and chair of the meeting, respectively.  The RDR replaced the Abatabazi genocidal government and had the same agenda.

 

To avoid appearance in the media of the names of genocide fugitives, a choice of those who share the same ideology but were not on the list of wanted ones was advanced. That is how the name of Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza was put on the table.

 

In 2009, when RDR and FDU Inkingi became active in the Netherlands, genocide fugitives of the first category who were members of FDU Inkingi were uncovered. They include Ndereyehe Ntahontuye – ex-director of the agricultural institute of ISAR-Rubona; Venant Rutunga – also from the same institute, Jean Baptiste Nyabusore – ex-head of ISAE-Busogo, another agriculture school and Maj. Pierre-Claver Karangwa.

 

Today, Ndereyehe is still fighting his deportation case while Rutunga together with another FDU Inkingi member, Jean Claude Iyamuremye, were deported in July 2021.  Dutch police arrested Jean Baptiste Nyabusore in August 2021.

 

On October 26, 2020, A special Dutch Police team arrested genocide fugitive Joseph Mugenzi, who served as President of FDU Inkingi in Netherlands.

 

 Currently the President of the FDU Inkingi is Placide Kayumba, the son of Dominique Ntawukuliryayo who was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment on August 3, 2010, a sentence reduced on appeal to 20 years' imprisonment, on December 14, 2011, by the ICTR.

 

 Kayumba who inherited the genocide ideology founded a club known as Jambo Sabl, with descendants of genocide fugitives with a mission to cover up their parents criminal past while turning the victims of the genocide into villains.

 

As the senior members of FDU Inkingi are genocide fugitives like Marcel Sebatware in Belgium, and Stanislas Niyibizi in The Netherlands. Ingabire who is the de facto leader of the FDU Inkingi is focusing on the young people born, after the genocide, from genocide perpetrators.

 

Today, Ingabire’s FDU Inkingi is part of the so-called P5 Coalition. It brings together FDU-Inkingi (of Ingabire), MRCD-FLN of Paul Rusesabagina and Faustin Twagiramungu, RNC of Kayumba Nyamwasa, PDP-Imanzi, a PS-Imberakuri faction, FDLR, RUD-Urunana and CNRD, a splinter from FDLR. This coalition is nothing but a terrorist group that has carried out deadly attacks on innocent civilians.

 

Following the Kinigi attacks which took place during the night of October 5, 2019, where at least 15 people lost their lives, 14 others injured, and property looted or destroyed, Ingabire rushed in the next few days and created another party, DALFA Umurinzi. This was her plot to distance herself from the attacks which killed innocent civilians as the perpetrators were being held to account.

 

Ingabire would have ended her so-called political and activist career the day she denied knowledge about Ntawangundi’s role during the genocide against the Tutsi. But we live in a very cynical world that has set high standards for holders of political office in their own world only.

 

To date, members of FDU-Inkingi continue their monthly fundraisings to support Ingabire’s political activities in Rwanda. In May those in Belgium gathered Euros 730, 66.

 

Once contributions from others in European countries are gathered, they are sent to a man called Issa Nshimiyimana, also senior member of FDU-Inkingi, through his bank account. However, transfer to Ingabire is done by another FDU-Inkingi cadre called, Michel Niyibizi. This shows that Ingabire Victoire is representing FDU-Inkingi under the shadow called DALFA-Umurinzi.
