June 16, 2010 - Congolese refugee and organizer Kambale Musavuli and Rwandan refugee, organizer, and genocide survivor Claude Gatebuke spoke to WBAI Radio-NYC this week about Kagame's arrest of US Law Professor Peter Erlinder in Rwanda.
Claude Gatebuke demonstrated outside Oklahoma Christian University, where Rwandan President Paul Kagame was giving the commencement address on April 30th, 2010, when a team of lawyers, private investigators, and process servers, including
Professor Erlinder, attempted to serve him with the lawsuit, Habyarimana vs. Kagame, on behalf of widows Agatha Habyarimana and Sylvana Ntaryamira, accusing Kagame and nine of his top officers and officials of assassinating their husbands, Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana and Burundian President Cyprien Ntaryamira, in 1994, and thus triggering the Rwanda Genocide which cost upwards of a million Rwandan lives. The lawsuit also accuses Kagame and his officers and officials of racketeering in eastern Congo at a cost of six million more African lives, Rwandan and Congolese.
