When we alerted them \u2018Simama juu (stand up), Advance, Speed\u2019 everyone did so because they knew the value of what they were striving for. That is why genocide was stopped in a few months,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>Kabarebe said RPF had analyzed the war before as they wanted to solve a serious problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBetween 200 and 300 soldiers came from another country carrying guns. It was hard to fight an organized country having structured diplomacy, with steady military, police and support from foreigners,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Kabarebe noted that the courage they had led them to repel foreign forces including French soldiers among others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had three months of fighting Interahamwe and French soldiers. We fought French soldiers from Byumba in 1992 and in Zone Turquoise. We had a severe fight that is why they got weakened. The attack which stopped them as they entered Butare coming from Gikongoro made them speak of us thus; \u2018they are not people to fight with\u2019, \u201dhe said. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-20193 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/minisitiri_w_ingabo_james_kabarebe_avuga_ko_ingabo_z_u_rwanda_zari_zifite_icyerekezo_kimwe-2fb26.jpg\" alt=\"The Minister of Defense, Gen James Kabarebe\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{The Minister of Defense, Gen James Kabarebe has said that RPA soldiers\u2019 victory over the hate government guided by divisionism and oppression, despite enormous foreign support, was a result of commitment guiding RPA soldiers to fight with bravery during the struggle as they stood for truth. } Kabarebe who was Friday speaking during the commemoration [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[72,75],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-34704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-featured-news-home","tag-homenews","byline-igihe"],"bylines":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"contributors":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34704"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34704\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34704"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=34704"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=34704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
