Rwandan Dictator Paul Kagame vs Rwandan Activist Yvonne Idamange Iryamugwiza, Feb 2021

Over a long period, a pattern of repression, crimes, assassinations and kidnappings have marked the Rwandan regime under the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) since 1994, ruled by the Rwandan dictator Paul Kagame. Despite well documented proofs, these crimes and repressions  appeared to be overlooked by the international community, influential media, and other main organizations. Even Western Democracies have seemed to overlook these crimes and bloody repression and continued to support and  welcome Paul Kagame and other RPF leaders.  In May 2024, the nonprofit organization Forbidden Stories, under the Rwanda Classified project, published results of  cover investigations on the crimes and repression committed by the Rwandan regime. The findings show horrific actions, leading to questions on what is next for the Rwandan regime and its leaders.
