Mukankusi has engaged in Diplomatic works since 2004 when she was deputy to Kayumba Nyamwasa who was Rwanda’s Ambassador to India. She had been issued a diplomatic passport by Rwanda which she couldn’t get renewed when it expired as she had already joined the Rwanda National Alliance, a terrorist group she co-founded with Kayumba Nyamwasa.
News of Uganda issuing the passport to Mukankusi went out after her visit in Kampala where she met with Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni whom she presented RNC’s plans to overthrow the Rwandan Government.
Mukankusi’s previous passport indicates that she is a Rwandan who was born on August 10, 1970, in Mbarara, Uganda. She had been issued the diplomatic passport no. PD000223, Service Passport PS009269, and ordinary Passport No. PC061537 and National ID No. 1197070004061075.
Effective from February 11, this year, Mukankusi had been offered the Ugandan official travel documents with the help of Uganda’s President Museveni whom they met during her recent visit to Kampala.
That Mukankusi had no valid passport after the one she was issued by Rwanda was expired impeded her from carrying out her RNC’s diplomatic affairs effectively.
During her visit to Kampala, Charlotte Mukankusi met Museveni twice with whom they held bilateral talks aimed at emphasizing relations between the two sides.
Mukankusi asked Museveni for help in denouncing the report released by UN experts on December 31, last year that revealed the partnership between the Ugandan Government and RNC.
The report highlighted the help RNC gets from Uganda in members recruitment and new recruits who cross from Uganda to Minembwe, DRC where they hold training.
Museveni told Mukankusi he would ‘offer all the possible help’ and told her ‘we are together’. It is said while talking to Museveni, Mukankusi looked self-confident while presenting RNC’s plans which made Museveni happy and promised to keep supporting the group.
It is reported that Museveni showed her the support and asked her to keep looking for new members and said it is necessary to look for ways to divide the Rwandan army.
Museveni’s will to divide the Rwandan army dates back in times when Maj. Alphonse, Patrick Karegeya and Kayumba Nyamwasa fled Rwanda.
Uganda’s supporting groups and people hostile to the Rwandan Government is one of the three problems keeping the countries’ relations stumbling. Uganda has not yet reacted on complaints Rwanda has raised seeking explanations over the issue.
