I do not agree that to be able to develop youve got to sacrifice peoples rights, said Theogene Rudasingwa, a member of the opposition Rwanda National Congress who spoke to in Washington. In fact, all literature and human experience shows that for there to be prosperity for people, for a country to build, youve got to enrich peoples rights.
In January, one of Rudasingwas colleagues, Patrick Karegeya, a former spy chief for the government, was found dead in a South Africa hotel room. Rwandan officials who accuse the opposition of planning attacks in Rwanda cheered Karegeyas death but denied any involvement.
At a genocide memorial event outside Kigali, Rwandan Defense Minister James Kabarebe had a stern message for those who challenge the government.
There are some who tried to [take the country backward] and there are those who have this ideology, they are there, but I know they will die with that ideology, he said.
According to Rudasingwa, opposition members in exile live under constant threat.
We are concerned, weve made these concerns known to the governments, but besides that, change is a very costly business and freedom doesnt come cheap, he said.
A generation removed from the genocide, Rwanda is moving forward. But opposition figures worry that lingering tension and the crackdown on dissent could mar the countrys future.
