[RwandaLibre] Mort de Jules Mutebusi: "Rwanda has just told us not to be bury him in Kigali..."

 

Ex-DR Congo warlord Mutebusi dies in Rwanda

AFP - 2 hrs ago
Kinshasa (AFP) - Jules Mutebusi, a former DR Congo rebel leader often
described as a Rwandan proxy, has died in Kigali where he had been
exiled for a decade, relatives and officials said Sunday.

"He died on Friday evening in a Kigali hospital. He was 54. It looks
like he had been sick, that's what Rwanda is saying," one of
Mutebusi's uncles told AFP.

Mutebusi, from the ethnic Tutsi group in the Democratic Republic of
Congo's South Kivu region known as Banyamulenge, was a top military
leader of the Rally for Congolese Democracy (RCD).

In 2004 Laurent Nkunda, another defecting Tutsi Congolese officer, and
Mutebusi jointly captured Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu, on the
grounds that the local population was being persecuted.

After the Congolese army and its allies recaptured the lakeside city,
fierce fighting pitted RCD rebels against loyalist forces in the
Kamanyola region.

When his forces were defeated, Mutebusi and 300 of his men fled to
Rwanda, which Kinshasa had accused of backing the RCD rebellion,
including by providing armoured vehicles.

The exact causes of his death were unclear, with no official word from
Rwanda and divergent statements from Mutebusi's family and the
government in Kinshasa.

"He had been sick for some time... We have not been provided with a
medical certificate but officials from his home region have spoken of
AIDS," DR Congo government spokesman Lambert Mende told AFP.

Mutebusi's uncle, who was speaking on condition of anonymity, said he
had doubts.

"His wife told me that he gone to exercise as usual, felt unwell and
fallen in a coma, and that she reached hospital when it was already
too late," he said.

"It's a great loss for the family but also a source of concern over
the circumstances of his death after 10 years of exile and house
arrest" in Kigali, the uncle added.

He said Mutebusi had recently expressed fears for his own safety
because he had not supported the M23, another Tutsi Congolese group
often described as the latest incarnation of the RCD.

The M23, which the United Nations said was a puppet of Rwandan
President Paul Kagame's regime, was defeated late last year after an
18-month insurgency in North Kivu.

The fighting included the rebels' brief capture of Goma in 2012, which
drew comparisons with the week-long occupation of Bukavu in 2004.

After government forces reclaimed Goma, several of the M23's top
leaders fled to Rwanda.

Mutebusi is due to be buried by Tuesday at the latest.

"Rwanda has just told us not to be bury him in Kigali but in Gisenyi,
we don't know why," the uncle said. Gisenyi lies in western Rwanda,
across the Congolese border from Goma.

"Rwanda has just told us not to be bury him in Kigali..." Ça ressemble
à l'affaire Karegeya, du moins pour l'enterrement!
