@SenateForeign @JoaquinCastrotx @LantosFndn Some years back, I was Prosecutor General of Rwanda. Senior Commanders of a terrorist group in the region were arrested in #Burundi . Documents incrimanating #Rusesabagina in financing the group were obtained from them. I travelled to

#Washington and met senior #FBI Officials to seek their Cooperation because financing had originated from San Antonio in #Texas. More evidence were obtained by FBI. Weeks later, a senior FBI Official travelled to #Rwanda .Accompanied by the #US Ambassador, they met me and

handed in the letter to confirm commencement of formal investigations against Rusesabagina. Transfers had been done through Western Union by Rusesabagina himself. We challenged FBI then, and we do now to explain any other purpose they found to have been the intention of money

transfers to these Commanders who were prosecuted and convicted. Now that Senate Committee is interested in engaging on this matter, these are tips on where to start, from own backyard. Won't be easy though. Their own Institutions of justice are not subject to unwarranted

questioning but there can not be any meaningful process without aknowledging this hard truth, facts.
