RWANDAN PASTOR SAYS TUTSIS OUT TO GET HIM

MBABANE – Pastor Sekarambi Emmanuel from Rwanda says the his fellow countrymen from the Tutsi tribe are out to discredit him in the country.

The pastor, who is now resident in the country after leaving his home country because of the fight between the Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda, which left thousands dead, said this also resulted in the death of his brother under mysterious circumstances in Swaziland.  

    
Also he cited a recent case of 21-year-old French-speaking girl who was trafficked from Belgium as another way of how he is being targeted. The girl was trafficked using his name and this has been confirmed by the police.

Destined

The girl was initially destined for Mozambique when police discovered that she was being trafficked.  
The pastor, who was with the Cornerstone Prophetic Church at Lobamba, claimed that his brother mysteriously died while in the company of one man who is from the Tutsi tribe.
He said it took about two days and a lot of questioning before the suspect could confirm that he was present when his brother was killed in Manzini.

Pastor Emmanuel said there were many incidents and Rwandans in the country who have been victims of political smear campaigns due to the fighting tribes.
He disclosed that he was a man of God and did not subscribe to any political beliefs.
He said he came to the country to seek refuge after the breakout of the civil wars in his native country.

“The same applies with the other syndicate which holds the view that in fighting for their cause they should also fight even those who ran away to other countries in whatever way,” Emmanuel said.
The pastor claimed those who were out to get him  were being funded by certain organisations from outside the kingdom.

Tried

“The syndicate has tried numerous times to incriminate me in the past without success. Those here in Swaziland are threatened by my position as pastor and they do not know what my intentions are yet I am a man of God.
“My father died when I was three year’s old and I do not know what tribe I belong to. How can I because when my father died when I was young? I was also raised by many tribes in my home country before I came to Swaziland.

“We are aware that they also have funding even from outside to kill and destroy people with dissenting views. They even pull the same operation in other African countries, very close being in South Africa,” he said.

War

The war in Rwanda was a genocide mass slaughter of Tutsi and moderate Hutu by members of the Hutu majority. During the 100-day period from April 7, 1994 to mid-July, an estimated 500 000 to one million Rwandans were killed, constituting as much as 20 per cent of the country’s total population and 70 per cent of the Tutsi, then living in Rwanda.  
Perpetrators came from the ranks of the Rwandan army, the National Police (gendarmerie), government-backed militias and the Hutu civilian population.
