Washington : Paul Rusesabagina raconte « l'enfer » de sa détention au Rwanda
Invité ce jeudi 29 octobre au siÚge du National Endowment for Democracy (NED), à Washington, à l'occasion de la Journée internationale des prisonniers politiques, Paul Rusesabagina a livré un témoignage poignant lors d'un panel modéré par le président du NED, Damon Wilson.
Devant une salle silencieuse, l'ancien directeur de l'HÎtel des Mille Collines de Kigali, dont l'histoire a inspiré le film
Hotel Rwanda, a confiĂ© : « Quand j'Ă©tais en enfer, je ne croyais plus jamais redevenir un ĂȘtre humain. »
Celui qui affirme avoir abritĂ© 1 268 personnes pendant les 90 jours du gĂ©nocide de 1994 est revenu sur son exil Ă partir de 1996, puis sur son enlĂšvement le 27 aoĂ»t 2020, piĂ©gĂ©, selon lui, par un homme se prĂ©sentant comme pasteur. EmmenĂ© au Rwanda les mains liĂ©es et la tĂȘte couverte d'un sac, il dit avoir Ă©tĂ© torturĂ© et maintenu Ă l'isolement pendant deux ans et sept mois.
Condamné en 2021 à 25 ans de prison pour terrorisme, des accusations liées à la branche armée de son mouvement politique qu'il a toujours rejetées, il avait été libéré en mars 2023 aprÚs une commutation de peine. Il a conclu en remerciant son épouse, présente dans la salle, ses enfants et la communauté internationale pour leur mobilisation.

No amount of sports sponsorship can erase the repression and human rights abuses committed by #Kagameâs regime.
The @RwandaGov cannot continue to hide behind the global appeal of sports.
The @NBA, @AVFCOfficial, @Atleti and @F1 must confront their role in helping Kagameâs government launder its international image.
Sportswashing has consequences. So does silence. espn.com/nba/story/_/id/5028âŠ

NEWS: I was laid off from USA TODAY last week.
Iâm proud of the video reporting Iâve done around D.C. and am looking for opportunities in reporting and digital storytelling.
In the meantime, Iâll keep reporting and making videos on Instagram @meeshdelrey.

I really donât know how the families of our Americans wrongfully detained
in Iran or Russia are coping right now, especially given they have no direct contact with @SEPeaceMissions who has been assigned by @POTUS to handle the hostage negotiations. @StateSPEHA @aboehler does not seem to be involved either which is a shame. I canât emphasize enough just how important and valuable it is for families to have access to the very govât officials negotiating their loved oneâs release.

Since the NBA got into business with Rwandaâs warmongering dictator Paul Kagame, the US government has increasingly sanctioned the regime for its role in fueling a bloody war and atrocities against civilians in eastern DRC â human suffering on a scale that trounces the NBAâs corporate messaging about the power of basketball for positive change. espn.com/nba/story/_/id/4059âŠ

APR BBC was scheduled to represent Rwanda in the 2026 BAL, but on Thursday, the Rwandan Basketball Federation abruptly announced the clubâs âdecision to step asideâ for another team. This came only days after the club announced with great fanfare that two-time NBA champion Quinn Cook would join its roster. espn.com/nba/story/_/id/4817âŠ

Last week @USTreasury imposed sanctions on the Rwanda Defence Force (RDF) for blatant violations of the peace accords between DRC and Rwanda, signed last year in Washington. The sanctions extend to any asset for which RDF holds 50% or more ownership. This likely includes ArmĂ©e Patriotique Rwandaise Basketball Club (APR BBC), which according to the BAL is owned and funded by the RDF. They are the countryâs current basketball champions. xtrafrica.com/news/apr-baskeâŠ

âItâs Take Off Timeâ for Season 6 of the @NBAâs Basketball Africa League (BAL) #theBAL, with Rwanda hosting the finals in May. Have American sanctions on Rwandan state entities forced the home team â the club of the Rwandan military â to bow out? The NBAâs profit-first approach seems to have hit a wall with US government policy.

Incredibly proud of my father, Paul #Rusesabagina, for being awarded by the World Forum on the Future of Democracy. In accepting the award, he dedicated it to the victims of Paul Kagameâs regime, the imprisoned, the silenced, the families living under repression, & to the people of #DRC who continue to suffer from violence & instability. He called on the world to pay attention to #Africa & to recognize the deep desire of our people to be free from autocracy. The fight for democracy is not abstract. It is personal. And it continues.

If I were Kagame I would be watching this carefully-phrased interview with US envoy Massad Boulos and concluding that Washington is considering imminently announcing sanctions against me, personally, unless Rwanda changes course in DRC. 5:29 mins in. youtube.com/watch?si=iHjrzuCâŠ
