Prime witness in the Illegal repatriation of Refugees back to Rwanda Ali Kabanda who also authored a letter that caused investigations into the illegal Repatriation of Rwandan Refugees back to Rwanda where they were killed on arrival has his Wife and Kids missing.
Kabanda’s letter is also a basis of a complaint made by families of victims to the ICC, the complaint pins Uganda police officers including General Kayihura the former IGP and Rwandan Police authorities in crimes against Humanity.
Charging General Kayihura and other police officers like Nickson and Anguma for illegally repatriating refugees opens up ICC investigation into the receiving country which is Rwanda but this can only happen if Uganda finds its suspects guilty. This means this case can potentially embarrass Rwanda by leading to prosecution of its Police bosses. Area DT Rwanda must account for the 500 people repatriated illegally.
The family has been under constant threats from Nickson’s agents and those of General Kayihura, While Kabanda was being protected by the UN in a safe location outside Uganda.
Kabanda may be the only credible witness who can pin General Kayihura in this case having attended meetings in a Kabale Hotel with General Kale and the Rwandan police Inspector General, Kabanda also gave many cases that involved General Kayihura’s direct orders to his juniors.
It is not clear if the family is kidnapped by an external force or being protected by the Ugandan government, what is clear is that the house is empty.
It’s high time the Ugandan authorities investigate circumstances under which a family of four can disappear.
