{
Dr. Narcisse Gakuba, a Rwandan living in Belgium, has decided to leave Amahoro People’s Congress, a Rwandan Opposition Party that operates in Belgium.}
Dr. Gakuba’s departure is due to the Amahoro People’s Congress’s decision to join a coalition of the RNC (Rwanda National Congress) and FDU- Inkingi (United Democratic Forces-Inkingi). Victoire Ingabire, who is imprisoned for Genocide denial, founded the latter party.
Dr Gakuba took the decision during the meeting of the Rwandan political opposition parties held Oct. 14, 2013 in Belgium. During the same day, RNC and FDU-Inkingi celebrate three years of partnership agreements.
He said Amahoro People’s Congress was a forum for people who want to get their political ideas and tips for good governance addressed to the Government of Rwanda with a particularly focus on the well-being of Genocide survivors.
However, during a Meeting, Dr. Gakuba discovered that his party was invited to join the platform of the opposition parties accused to perpetrate the Rwandan Genocide denial.
Dr. Gakuba represented the People’s Congress party at the meeting and said he was taken aback by this news.
He had not been informed that the meeting would be devoted to Amahoro People’s Congress’s entry in the opposition’s platform. During the meeting, the speeches bordered on the denial of the genocide against Tutsis.
Dr. Gakuba said, “In principle, I gave myself the responsibility to fight against Genocide criminals and all those who denied it ever happened. That is why I decided to leave Amahoro People’s Congress”. He added that he recommends his former party to disassociate themselves from this new platform if they want to do any good.
