Hii ya muda kidogo lakini nadhani inahitaji mjadala. cc: murutongore JokaKuu NasDaz Commanche Geeky MUKAMASIMBA
CNDP (jeshi la watutsi) chini ya Laurent Nkunda walipigwa, na Nkunda sasa anahifadhiwa Rwanda, wakaibuka M23 (jeshi la watutsi) nao wamepigwa na sasa wanahifadhiwa Rwanda. Waasi wa kitutsi wote wakipigwa wanahifadhiwa Rwanda, lakini wakati wakiibuka Rwanda inakataa kata kata kuwa haihusiki. Viongozi wote wa waasi waliwahi kuwa jeshi la waasi la RPA (again, jeshi la kitutsi) chini ya Kagame 1994. Hii inakuwaje?
Leo hii TZ tunalaumiwa vipi kwa kushauri mazungumzo tu, na FDLR, ikiwa wale magaidi wa M23 tuliowapiga Congo wanahifadhiwa Rwanda bila mashtaka yoyote? Hivi kimsingi nitakuwa nakosea kudai kuwa Rwanda inahifadhi maadui wa Tanzania, Congo, Malawi, SA na nchi zote zilizokuwa sehemu ya MONUSCO?
Full content source: Rwanda rejects request to repatriate M23 rebels
Kigali has announced that it is almost impossible to extradite key members of M23 rebel movement living in Rwanda.
The DRC leadership wrote to Kigali last month demanding that it extradites of former M23 leaders who include Jean-Marie Runiga and military commanders Baudouin Ngaruye, Eric Badege and Innocent Zimurinda to face trial in Congo.
Even though Kigali has invited its Congolese counterparts to Rwanda to discuss the possible extradition of Congolese citizens, Minister of Foreign Affairs Louise Mushikiwabo says her government cannot send former M23 rebels as Kigali is concerned about their security.
Our position is that we cannot extradite these people to countries that maintain the death penalty in their penal code, Ms Mushikiwabo said on Thursday.
But some analysts look at Rwandas approach to the extradition request as retaliation for Kinshasas refusal to send back members of Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR).
FDLR are being accused of working with Congolese army.

Kinshasa is accusing Jean Marie Runigas group of committing crimes against humanity, war crimes, torture and other offences in Eastern Congo.
By refusing to co-operating and have the suspects extradited, Kinshasa says Rwanda will not be respecting a recently signed agreement between the countries of the Great Lakes region including Rwanda and the DRC in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia that demands signatories eradicate rebel groups in eastern DRC.
But Ms Mushikiwabo described Rwanda as a law abiding country, only saying the extradition request is a complicated one as Kigali finds it uncomfortable to deal with Kinshasa in this case when they still have the death sentence.
But our Ministry of Justice is looking at the matter. Extraditing people is a legal process that takes time, said Ms Mushikiwabo.
The minister said Kigali continues to enjoy good relations with DRC in spite of the diplomatic frictions between the two neighbouring countries.
Appeal to UN
The former rebels wanted by DRC entered Rwanda in February this year after fleeing from the fighting between two different factions of the movement.
Apart from the rebels, Rwanda also accommodates about 70,000 Congolese nationals.
They are now being held at an internment camp in Ngoma district in the countrys Eastern Province.
