[Rwanda Forum] Father's keeper: Paul Kagame's son joins presidential guard

Father's keeper: Paul Kagame's son joins presidential guard

• Ian Kagame was part of his father's close security team at a national prayer breakfast on Sunday.
• He graduated from UK's Royal Military Academy Sandhurst last year.
• In the Rwanda Defence Forces his rank is that of second lieutenant.

• Also Ian Kagame is NOT his son, his biological father #EugeneGasana the former first lady fooling around buddy!

---

Ian Kagame, the son of Rwandan President Paul Kagame who is a second lieutenant in the Rwandan Defence Forces (RDF), has joined his father's security team.

The lieutenant's first appearance as part of the elite Republican Guard was during the national prayer breakfast 2023 on Sunday and pictures of him keeping an eye on his father and his surroundings have gone viral.

Clad in a dark suit, a blue tie and a white shirt, Lieutenant Kagame is seen moving in front of his father as he enters the Kigali Convention Centre (KCC) for his address.

In August last year, Lieutenant Kagame graduated from the United Kingdom's Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

He was one of three Rwandans who graduated from the prestigious academy's class of 2022.

The following month he graduated from the Rwanda Military Academy in Gako, Bugesera District, to become an RDF officer.

Lieutenant Kagame joins a long list of children of heads of state who have been thrust close to power through the military.

In Zimbabwe, Captain Sean Mnangagwa, son of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, is a member of the Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA)'s Presidential Guard.

In Uganda, President Yoweri Museveni's son, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba is the commander of the Uganda People's Defence Forces and a candidate to take over from his father.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), during the late president Laurent-Désiré Kabila's reign, his son and eventual successor, Joseph Kabila trained at China's National Defence University. 

Joseph was chief of staff of the land forces as a major general until his father's death.

In Chad when the late president Idriss Derby succumbed to injuries from gunshots on 20 April 2021 while commanding his army against rebels, his son Mahamat, a military general, rose to lead the interim ruling military council.

In Botswana, the son of the country's founding father Seretse Khama, Ian Khama, left the military as commander of the Botswana Defence Forces in 1998 to become vice president and president in 2008, a position he held until 2018.

Republicans React to Energy Department's Reported Finding That COVID 'Likely' Leaked From Wuhan Lab

Gary Bai

Republican lawmakers responded to a news report saying that the U.S. Energy Department had concluded the lab leak theory was "likely," saying that the finding supports what many have long suspected.

A Wall Street Journal article on Feb. 26 reported that a classified intelligence report by the Energy Department said that the virus likely leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

"So the government caught up to what Real America knew all along," Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) wrote in a Twitter post on Sunday.

The responses came as GOP lawmakers ramp up investigations into the origin of COVID-19 and allegations of government-big tech censorship of the debate.

The Energy Department was previously undecided on the issue but now joins the FBI in corroborating the lab leak hypothesis, according to the report. Several people who have read the report said the Department's judgment was made with "low confidence," the Journal reported.

Responding to the report on Sunday, White House national security advisor Jake Sullivan told CNN that the intelligence community does not have a "definitive answer" on the matter at this point.

Republican lawmakers have been vocal about the theory that the virus leaked from the Wuhan laboratory soon after the onset of the pandemic in 2020. Initially, some health professionals and legacy media outlets dismissed the theory, labeling the theory's proponents as racist and conspiracy theorists.

Fauci

Some lawmakers also accused Anthony Fauci, former head of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), of colluding with big tech companies, such as Facebook and Twitter, and censoring stories about the lab leak theory via what these companies describe as a crackdown on "misinformation."

"Fauci knew this immediately but dismissed it because of funding for the Wuhan lab," Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) wrote in another post. "We know what happened next — when Fauci spoke Big Tech censored. I exposed this collusion as AG and I'll work to ensure this type of censorship never happens again."

"Americans knew this from Day One," Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) wrote on Twitter on Sunday. "Unfortunately, Big Tech and Big Government silenced them."

Republicans and critics of Fauci have raised concerns about the NIAID's funding of the Wuhan Institute of Virology via the non-governmental organization EcoHealth Alliance, including for research described by experts as gain-of-function. The NIAID issued about 3.4 million in grants to EcoHealth.

Gain-of-function research makes the virus more deadly by enhancing its pathogenicity, its ability to cause disease and harm the host, or transmissibility, how easily it spreads.

The NIH has denied that the grants were for gain-of-function research, while Fauci has defended the decision to issue the grants to EcoHealth.

"More evidence continues to mount that COVID came from the Wuhan lab. We've uncovered emails showing Dr. Fauci was warned that the virus looked man-made & came from a lab, but he may have acted to cover it up. Why? We need answers & accountability," wrote the official Twitter account of the House Oversight Republican Committee.

Republicans on the committee previously disclosed internal NIH emails that showed Fauci was informed by senior scientists early in the pandemic that the theory that COVID-19 had a natural origin was "highly unlikely," even while Fauci was publicly promoting the natural origin theory.

Additional Responses

Republican lawmakers such as Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) took issue with what he described as a lack of transparency in government investigations related to the origins of COVID-19.

"The American people deserve the full truth about #covid origins. No more whitewash. I will again introduce legislation to make the US government's intelligence reports on covid open to the people," Hawley wrote.

Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) echoed Hawley's view.

"The elites and academics owe everyone who had legitimate questions and concerns about the origins of COVID an apology," Buck wrote in a Twitter post. "The American people deserve to see all the information concerning the Chinese lab leak and the origins of COVID. This won't be forgotten."

Meanwhile, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) says the United States should focus on the further implications of the report, namely, the need for the U.S. government to act to hold the Chinese regime accountable for the pandemic.

"Re. China's lab leak, being proven right doesn't matter," Cotton wrote in a Twitter post. "What matters is holding the Chinese Communist Party accountable so this doesn't happen again."

Another GOP lawmaker expressed skepticism about the intention behind the Energy Department's report.

"Evidence the virus was created/released from a lab has been obvious for years," wrote Sen. Ron Johnson in a Twitter post on Feb. 27. "I'm skeptical 'new' evidence surfaced. This is more likely an attempt by the Department of @ENERGY to provide cover for themselves as the truth comes to light."

The Epoch Times contacted the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Energy for comment.

Update: This article has been updated to include a comment from Sen. Ron Johnson.

Republicans and critics of Fauci have raised concerns about the NIAID's funding of the Wuhan Institute of Virology via the non-governmental organization EcoHealth Alliance, including for research described by experts as gain-of-function. The NIAID issued about 3.4 million in grants to EcoHealth.

Gain-of-function research makes the virus more deadly by enhancing its pathogenicity, its ability to cause disease and harm the host, or transmissibility, how easily it spreads.

The NIH has denied that the grants were for gain-of-function research, while Fauci has defended the decision to issue the grants to EcoHealth.

"More evidence continues to mount that COVID came from the Wuhan lab. We've uncovered emails showing Dr. Fauci was warned that the virus looked man-made & came from a lab, but he may have acted to cover it up. Why? We need answers & accountability," wrote the official Twitter account of the House Oversight Republican Committee.

Republicans on the committee previously disclosed internal NIH emails that showed Fauci was informed by senior scientists early in the pandemic that the theory that COVID-19 had a natural origin was "highly unlikely," even while Fauci was publicly promoting the natural origin theory.

Additional Responses

Republican lawmakers such as Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) took issue with what he described as a lack of transparency in government investigations related to the origins of COVID-19.

"The American people deserve the full truth about #covid origins. No more whitewash. I will again introduce legislation to make the US government's intelligence reports on covid open to the people," Hawley wrote.

Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) echoed Hawley's view.

"The elites and academics owe everyone who had legitimate questions and concerns about the origins of COVID an apology," Buck wrote in a Twitter post. "The American people deserve to see all the information concerning the Chinese lab leak and the origins of COVID. This won't be forgotten."

Meanwhile, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) says the United States should focus on the further implications of the report, namely, the need for the U.S. government to act to hold the Chinese regime accountable for the pandemic.

"Re. China's lab leak, being proven right doesn't matter," Cotton wrote in a Twitter post. "What matters is holding the Chinese Communist Party accountable so this doesn't happen again."

Another GOP lawmaker expressed skepticism about the intention behind the Energy Department's report.

"Evidence the virus was created/released from a lab has been obvious for years," wrote Sen. Ron Johnson in a Twitter post on Feb. 27. "I'm skeptical 'new' evidence surfaced. This is more likely an attempt by the Department of @ENERGY to provide cover for themselves as the truth comes to light."

The Epoch Times contacted the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Energy for comment.

[Rwanda Forum] Ese abanya RDC baba ataribo bitera ibibazo bihoraho ?

Ese abanya RDC baba ataribo bitera ibibazo  bihoraho ?

 

Abategetsi n'abaturage ba RDC baba aribo bitera ibibazo bihoraho kubera ubuswa, ubucucu, no kudakunda igihugu cyabo?

 

 Reka mbivuge uko byumva.

 

1.                Rapport mapping ya ONU irahari ariko ubutegetsi bwa RDC n'abaturage baho ntacyo bakoze kugira ngo hagire ikivamo kigaragara cyabyarira RDC umutekano mu gihe Kagame we genocide  y'abatutsi ayikuramo inyungu nyinshi mu bijyanye n'ubukungu na politike mu guhugu no mu mahanga. RDC iyo rapport ntacyo ibabwiye. Ibi byaba biterwa n'ubwenge buke, ni ubuswa, ni ugitinya se, ni ubucucu se ? Kandi ni uko  abafata.

2.                Birumvikana rero iyo hagira ikiva muri Rapport Mapping kigaragara Kagame na M23 ntibaba baratinyutse  komgera  gutangira  intambara muri RDC.

3.                Hari n'ibindi bibazo n'ibyemezo bijyanye n'uruhare rwa Uganda muri RDC ariko usanga ibyo byose ntacyo byamariye RDC cyangwa ngo bitume ibibazo bimwe bikemurwa  na karere ndetse n'amahanga.  RDC uko yitwara ku Rwanda na Uganda ni nkaho nta cyabaye, nta ruhare bafite mu bibazo RDC ifite.

4.                Ntibisobanutse ko  Perezida Tshisekedi  akimara gufata ubutegetsi yihutiye kujya kunoza umubano mwiza n'u Rwanda ariko yibagirwa ko  yagombaga gusaba ko u Rwanda na Uganda babanza bagakemura ikibazo cya M23 baba muri ibyo bihugu mbere yo kunoza umubano nibyo bihugu Kuba RDC iri muri EA Community ntacyo bizayimarira.  Ahubwo  Tshisekedi  yageze n'aho yemera ko  Kagame amwubakira umudugudu i Goma. Ibi rero byari ikimenyetso krerekana uko Kagame afata aba nya RDC nk'abantu  badashoboye. Kandi ibi nta gihe Kagame atanabivuze.

5.                Ntabwo bisonutse ko RDC ivuga ko Ambassadeur w'Umutariyani  yishwe na FDLR ariko hakaba nta  myanzuro y'iperereza ryakozwe ku ruhare rwa FDLR muri bwo bwicanyi. Kandi n'abo muri FDLR bamwishe bakaba batazwi ngo bahanwe. Kuki RDC itabafata ngo ibaburanishe maze bahanwe?

6.                Ntabwo bisobanutse ko Kagame na Kabila barwanije FDLR hakiyongeraho ko aho Kisekedi akimara gufata ubutegetsi bamwe bavugwa ko bari abayobozi ba FDLR bakaba barishwe, none ubu ikibazo cya FDLR kikaba kigihari Kagame akaba aricyo ashyize imbere. RDC mu kwibasira FDLR ni ukwibasira umwanzi utariwe. Umwanzi wa RDC ni umwe. Ni  Kagame.
