[Rwanda Forum] Who is Kayumba Nyamwasa.


Who is Kayumba Nyamwasa.

• He is a former Rwandan general, once in the leadership of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), and served in various senior military/intelligence positions. 
• He later fell out with Rwandan President Paul Kagame, went into exile in South Africa, and has made allegations of political repression, corruption etc. 
Spain's Warrant / Search & Arrest Orders
• As of September 2025, Spain's National Court (Audiencia Nacional) judge José Luis Calama has ordered a search and capture (búsqueda y captura) warrant for Kayumba Nyamwasa. The warrant is for his arrest and unconditional preventive detention. 
• The charges include: terrorism, torture, genocide, crimes against humanity, and specifically the murder of four Spanish citizens. These Spanish victims are:
1. Priest Joaquim Vallmajó
2. Nurse María Flors Sirera Fortuny
3. Photographer Luis Valtueña Gallego
4. Doctor Manuel Madrazo Osuna 
• The warrant was issued in July 2025. The defense's appeals against it were rejected in August 2025 by the criminal division of Spain's National Court. 
• There had previously been attempts to get him to give a statement by videoconference (in May 2024) through a rogatory commission to South Africa, which did not succeed. His whereabouts were declared "unknown" at some stage. 

Legal / Extradition Context
• Spain is using its universal jurisdiction laws to pursue war crimes, crimes against humanity etc. in cases involving those accused of serious crimes abroad. 
• Nyamwasa has political refugee status in South Africa. 
• There have been earlier warrants:
• A Spanish warrant in 2008 for genocide, crimes against humanity etc. 
• A French judge (Jean-Louis Bruguière) also issued warrants / was investigating Nyamwasa among others for the downing of the plane in which Rwandan President Juvénal Habyarimana died (an event which triggered the 1994 genocide) plus other alleged crimes.

[Rwanda Forum] Who is Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, the butcher of Southport, UK?

   If Axel Muganwa Rudakubana had been a son of a Hutu, what would have been the news headlines in Kagame's mouthpiece tabloids? Since Axel Rudakubana's parents are Tutsi genocide survivors, and his father, Alphonse Rudakubana, is a nephew of Wellars Gasamagera, the Secretary General of Rwanda's ruling party - RPF, the tragedy that occurred in the UK has not been mentioned by any tabloids or news outlets in Rwanda. However, had Axel Muganwa Rudakubana been a child of a Hutu, or a child of a Tutsi opposition figure, we can all guess the type of headline that would have appeared in the tabloid controlled by Criminal Paul Kagame. But now, they remain silent on this despicable tragedy. FYI...
