The Late Fred Gisa Rwigyema Remembered

Fond memories still fresh in my mind as i remember the last day i saw the late Fred Rwigyema, the evening before he left for the bush with his "RPF" forces, on a mission to topple Habyalimana's regime.

It was at the Nakivubo stadium, one Saturday evening. The stadium was packed to capacity. The match of the day was between the then Uganda's soccer giants, "Kasasiro, A'baana ba Yellow" KCC FC. Vs. "A'baana a'bambazi, A'baana ba Kawooya" FC Villa. Rwigyema, was a great soccer lover, an avid FC Villa, fan. Unlike other days when he would wear his soccer colours whenever his team was playing, that day he came in the stadium clad in a white long sleeved shirt, black pants, black pair of shoes and a black neck tie. To some who made quick observations after his death, after remembering the "Black and white" outfit, which colours are normally worn during funeral ceremonies, concluded that he had perhaps came to attended the biggest soccer event of that season, to say farewell to his fellow soccer fans and all soccer lovers.

The late Fred Rwigyema, left shortly after the end of the game which saw his FC Villa, losing a 2-1 in favour of KCC FC in a fiercely battled game. From his pavilion seat, he walked toward the stadium main gate which gave exit to a six foot handsome, ever smiling young soldier, even after losing to "Kassasiro" KCC FC! Some KCC and Express FC fans booed him as he left knowing how much of a big Villa supporter he was. Fred, remained composed with his smile shining on his face. Along with him in his company, was another avid soccer fan Major General Wamala Katumba, and many other senior army officers and civilian friends.

The following week on the evening TV English news bulletin, it was announced that a number of senior army officers of Rwandan decent, had left the country under the "RPF" for Rwanda, in battle to oust to aust the the late Major. Junvelile Habyaliman's regime.

The rest is history, both the ousted and the ouster are both deceased. May souls rest in peace.

Hi, friends,

Hereunder, there are links for five videos about the late General-Major Fred "Gisa" Rwig(y)ema. Fred could do what Kagame is "mentally unfit" to do since mid-October 1990: to unite Rwandans, all the Rwandans.

Fred was a first line RANU/RPF rebel and a former NRA/NRM rebel. But Fred also met King Jean-Baptiste Ndahiindurwa Kigeri V. I remember that Fred came specially to Brussels mid-1990 for calling by phone the Mwaami who was then refugee in Nairobi, Kenya, because he knew that Directorate Military Intelligence Officer Paul KAGAME spied him through his network of icyitso accomplices and abatasi spies. Unfortunately for Fred, megalomaniac and paranoiac KAGAME heard about this manoeuvre and bawled Fred out... or gave him a rocket... before the "friendly" bullet that treacherously killed Fred in Ryabega, Mutara Reserve Park, Rwanda. Fred could also meat General-Major Juvenal HABYARIMANA, even Rwandan F.A.R. troops, for example, when he visited unexpectedly the FAR unit in Gabiro, coming with a helicopter of the Ugandan Air Force. Fred RWIG(Y)EMA was able to unite Rwandans, together with HABYARIMANA and the MWAAMI. KAGAME is only able to destroy Rwandan society and to plunder the world.

Best regard to everybody, excepted... they know!
