When you’re standing on a side opposed to Rwanda’s Paul Kagame, the president has always been categorical about it – you suffer the fate of people such as Syridio Dusabumuremyi, an opposition politician who was brutally stabbed to death before his head was sliced off his neck.
Dusabumuremyi, died aged 42, was the coordinator of FDU-Inkingi opposition party in Rwanda. He ran a canteen at a health centre in Muhanga, a central district in Rwanda.
The FDU-Inkingi coordinator was attacked by two plain clothed men on Monday night, at his work, and nothing was taken away from his canteen, but his life. They drove away in an unmarked car.
Syridio has left behind two children.
The police however said they had arrested suspects thought to have executed this murder as they further investigate the circumstances in the death of their member.
This is not the first opposition leader to lose his or her life in Rwanda. The party of Ms Victoire Ingabire says several of her coordinators and other opposition leaders have been killed in the past. These include Eugène Ndereyimana who went missing two months ago.
He was the FDU-Inkingi representative in the east of Rwanda. Anselme Mutuyimana, FDU-Inkingi’s spokesperson was abducted, his body was dumbed in the forest, west of Rwanda.
In 2016, it was FDU-Inkingi member Jean Damascène Habarugira losing his dear life.
