Belgian Deputy Prime Minister may skip genocide anniversary

Rwanda is "unwilling" to welcome Belgian Deputy Prime Minister and
Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders to participate in
activities to mark 20 years after the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi.

Earlier reports in leading Belgian press suggested that Rwanda is
likely to be reluctant to give a warm welcome to the outspoken Belgian
official. Diplomatic relations between Rwanda and Belgium deteriorated
since 2012 after the latter backed the United Nations Group of Experts
Report on Congo.

Mr Reynders, who last visited Rwanda in 2012, angered Kigali further
after he backed the suggestion of Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete
that Kigali talks to the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of
Rwanda (FDLR) — the Hutu rebels based in eastern DR Congo accused of
carrying out 1994 genocide atrocities in Rwanda.

The Belgian official, according to Belgian press, was expected to
travel to Rwanda to attend the events to mark 20 years since the mass
killings broke out but has expressed concern that he is yet to receive
an invite from Kigali.

Rwanda has extended an invitation to the Prime Minister of Belgium
Elio de Rupo to be part of the official commemoration ceremony but it
is believed that Mr Reynders is likely to be part of the delegation.

According to sources, Rwanda still holds a grudge against Mr Reynders
who worked hard to see Rwanda punished for its alleged role in the
conflict in Eastern DRC and purported links to M23 rebels.

"The Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Didier Reynders, has
expressed his wish to make the trip, since it is his responsibility to
normally represent Belgium in such circumstances, but he still has not
received invitation," Belgian news agencies La Libre and Belga
reported.
