Rwanda: Military High Court Summons Kayumba

By James Karuhanga, 18 November 2010

Kigali — The Military High Court has summoned Rwanda's former Ambassador to India, Lt. Gen. Kayumba Nyamwasa, and three others to appear in court before December 12.

Those to appear with Kayumba include Patrick Karegyeya, Maj. Théogène Rudasingwa and Gérard Gahima.

Charges against the four include forming a terrorist group, ethnic divisionism and spreading harmful propaganda.

Nyamwasa and Rudasingwa also face the charge of disserting the army.

According to official summons, if the quartet does not heed the summons before the deadline, the court will take it as contempt and the accused will be tried in absentia.

    But when you have eaten your fill -- you must bless the LORD your God -- for the good country he has given you.

    Be careful not to forget the LORD your God -- by neglecting his commandments and decrees and statutes -- which I enjoin on you today.

    Lest -- when you have eaten your fill, and have built fine houses and lived in them and have increased your herds and flocks, your silver and gold -- and all your property ...........

    You then become haughty of heart and unmindful of the LORD -- your God -- who brought you out of the land of Egypt -- that place of slavery.

    The LORD who guided you through the vast and terrible desert with its saraph serpents and scorpions, its parched and waterless ground; who brought forth water for you from the flinty rock

    the LORD who fed you in the desert with manna (a food unknown to your fathers) that he might afflict you and test you -- but also make you prosperous in the end.

    Otherwise, you might say to yourselves: "It is my own power and the strength of my own hand that has obtained for me this wealth."

    Remember then -- that it is the LORD your God, who gives you the power to acquire wealth -- by fulfilling (as he has now done) the covenant which he swore to your fathers.

    But if you forget the LORD your God -- and follow other gods, serving and worshiping them -- I forewarn you this day that you will perish utterly.

    Like the nations which the LORD destroys before you -- so shall you too perish for not heeding the voice of the LORD your God

    (DEUTERONOMY 8:10-20).
