Whose Puppet?

Bosco Ntanganda - Former Leader in the M23 illegal militia sponsored by Rwanda to destabilize the Democratic Republic of the Congo - is now in The Hague facing 13 counts of War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity.

A debate is raging - is he Rwandan or Congolese? It seems like a futile debate, but the repercussions of the answer could be large and far reaching.

The answer is simple - Ntanganda was born in Rwanda. He is Rwandan.

Of course, the Rwandan Government under the leadership of Paul Kagame does not want that "stain" on their record. Since Ntangagnda spent so much time in the DRC, they want him to be declared Congolese.

Kagame's Government has lied about their association with M23. They have denied any involvement despite countless documents and other proofs. So, of course, the Rwandan Government will continue to lie about this.

The repercussions of Ntanganda's citizenship are important - they could in reality bring about international sanctions.

Will Kagame's backers, the US and the UK capitulate once again to the Rwandan despotic regime? Or will they recognize the simple truth that is obvious - Kagame is a tyrant who sponsors terror and mass murder, and when he doesn't do it himself, he does it through puppets?
