[Rwanda Forum] L'Ouganda expulse une figure de l'opposition rwandaise

L'expulsion de M. Mukombozi, membre du Congrès national rwandais (RNC) en exil, fait suite à l'engagement pris par le puissant fils du président ougandais Yoweri Museveni de sévir contre ce parti d'opposition, considéré par Kigali comme une organisation terroriste.

L'Ouganda expulse Robert Mukombozi, un opposant rwandais, dans ce qui s'apparente à un nouveau signe du réchauffement des relations entre Kampala et Kigali, après des années de tensions.

Le fils du président ougandais, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, a annoncé samedi sur Twitter l'expulsion de l'opposant, le qualifiant d'"ennemi du Rwanda et de l'Ouganda".

Robert Mukombozi, un Rwandais né en Ouganda, y a travaillé comme journaliste pour des médias locaux avant de partir s'installer au Rwanda, mais il s'est brouillé avec le gouvernement et vit en exil en Australie, selon les services de renseignement ougandais.

Sa destination n'a toutefois pas été précisée. M. Kainerugaba, qui est chef de l'armée de terre et conseiller spécial du président, a seulement déclaré qu'il avait été "renvoyé d'où il venait".

Le fils du président Museveni a joué un rôle déterminant dans le rétablissement de relations avec Kigali, notamment en organisant des pourparlers avec M. Kagame qui ont conduit à la réouverture de leur frontière terrestre commune en janvier, après trois ans de fermeture.

En février, il a promis de mettre fin aux activités "illégales et criminelles" du RNC en Ouganda, affirmant que ce parti avait failli conduire les deux pays à une "guerre stupide".

L'expulsion de M. Mukombozi, membre du Congrès national rwandais (RNC) en exil, fait suite à l'engagement pris par le puissant fils du président ougandais Yoweri Museveni de sévir contre ce parti d'opposition, considéré par Kigali comme une organisation terroriste.

La présence sur le sol ougandais d'opposants, mais aussi de rebelles cherchant à renverser le président rwandais Paul Kagame, est depuis longtemps source de tension entre les deux voisins.

Le RNC a été fondé en 2010 par l'ancien chef de l'armée rwandaise Kayumba Nyamwasa et l'ex-chef du renseignement Patrick Karegeya, depuis leur exil en Afrique du Sud.

"Général Kayumba, je vous ai suffisamment prévenu. Vous jouez avec mon pays et les résultats seront terribles pour vous. Le RNC n'a absolument aucune place en Ouganda", a aussi tweeté M. Kainerugaba.

Kayumba Nyamwasa - qui avait aidé Paul Kagame à créer le Front patriotique rwandais au pouvoir - a survécu à deux tentatives d'assassinat en Afrique du Sud en 2010, tandis que M. Karegeya a été tué dans un hôtel de Johannesburg en 2014.

Le gouvernement rwandais a toujours nié toute implication dans ces affaires.

MM. Museveni et Kagame, qui ont été de proches alliés dans les années 1980 et 1990, se sont ensuite brouillés en raison d'accusations mutuelles d'espionnage, d'enlèvements et de soutien aux rebelles.

Micomyiza applied but was denied citizenship in Sweden because he is politically active.

For your info:

A refugee is a person who has fled from their own country due to human rights abuses they have suffered there because of who they are or what they believe in, and whose own government cannot or will not protect them. As a result, they have been forced to seek international protection (http://www.amnesty.org/en/refugees-and-migrants/rights-of-refugees-and-migrants)

That's why obtaining citizenship/permanent resident status from a host country does not alleviate such a risk for persecution upon their return to their country of origin. As long as the reasons that pushed them to become refugees persist in their countries of origin (as it is indeed the case in Rwanda; please refer to the cessation clause that is now on a prolonged hold), these people will not feel safe returning home or getting along with officials from their native countries.
That's why, according to UNHCR , it is not surprising that many of these people will become politically active while in exile because campaigning for change in their country of origin may, indeed, be the only way of increasing the chances of being able to return home eventually

B. Participation in Political Organisations with a Peaceful Agenda
48. Given the reasons for which individuals become refugees, it is unsurprising that many of them will become politically active while in exile. Campaigning for change in their country of origin may, indeed, be the only way of increasing the chances of being able to return home eventually. 
In general, participation in such politicalorganisations is guaranteed by a refugee's human rights, in particular the right to freedom of expression and association. If the situation were otherwise the "oppressive system in their country of origin would be watertight". Such organisations are entitled to carry out a wide range of activities, including publicising their views through the media, holding peaceful demonstrations46 and sending representatives to highlight their concerns before governments and international organisations.
Moreover, host State toleration of, or indeed support for such organisations will not place that State at risk of violating its obligations against any State whose authorities are the subject of the group's criticism.
 
49. Similarly, refugees are entitled to join organisations concerned with domestic politics in the host State, for example those that wish to promote the position of foreigners in society. The fact that refugees do not have the right to vote or stand in elections does not mean that they have no right to express their views on matters of concern in the country in which they reside.
 
C. Participation in Organisations which Promote Hatred or War
50. However, where political organisations are involved in spreading hatred of a particular group on national, racial or religious grounds such as to constitute incitement to violence or discrimination, the host State is obliged under Article 20 of the ICCPR to prevent them from doing so.
A similar obligation exists where a political group advocates a war of aggression contrary to the restriction on the use of force in the UN Charter.There is no violation of the refugee's rights if he or she is prohibited from joining such organisations.
