Kigali: Reliable sources in the ministry of foreign affairs say that Ambassador Jean Pierre
Bizimana of Rwanda to the Netherlands is seeking political asylum in
the Republic of Ireland.
Bizimana failed to turn up for the recently concluded Ambassadors’
retreat in Kigali last week because he feared arrest,for the his links with controvertial polititian Ingabire Victoire Umuhoza both accused of having links with FDRL according to
reliable sources.
The sources indicate that Ambassador Bizimana got into trouble because
of alleged links to controversial opposition leader of yet to be registered party FDU-INKINGI of the Ingabire Victoire
Umuhoza.
Ingabire denies links
with him but she told 256news.com that, “the Ambassador is being blamed for falling to help assassins
sent by Kigali to kill me shortly before my return.”
Other reasons advanced are that, Bizimana helped Ingabire and her
family to acquire travel documents without authorization from Kigali.
A source in the West who is aware of Rwandan politics said the two
(Ingabire and Bizimana) share close kinship.
Louise Mushikiwabo, Rwandan Foreign Affairs Minister was not reached when seeking
clarification.
Ingabire, who this week caused a stir by seeking a temporary
asylum in British High Commission in Kigali
claims that her impact is being felt by the regime in Kigali
“if Ambassadors are beginning to flee because of me.”
Ingabire lived in Holland before returning to Rwanda mid-January this year.
