On April 12 1994, Father Vallmojo from Spain was killed in Nyinawimana. Father Vallmojo was an eye witness of multiple murders committed by RPF soldiers against his parishioners.

On October 17, 1994, Father Claud Smard was assassinated following his protest against abductions and killings of people from his parish.

On January 4, 1997, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) observers from Britain and Cambodia were slaughtered in Ruhengeri. They were eye witnesses to Hutu civilian massacres in Musanze sector but also in Kinigi, Gatonde and Cyabingo communes.

On January 18, 1997, three Spanish employees of Medecins du Monde were executed in Kagenke, Ruhengeri. They were killed together with hundreds of Hutu civilians in a camp of internally displaced people.

On February 2, 1977, Father Guy Pinard from Canada was assassinated in Kinigi, Ruhengeri. Father Pinard was killed inside the church during a mass celebration in front of his parishioners. Father Guy Pinard had witnessed multiple murders at the hands of Kagame's death squads.

In 1998, Father Duchamp from Canada and Father Curick Vjechoslav from Croatia were killed by Kagame's death squads in Kigali.

All of these expatriates were killed because they had witnessed atrocities committed by RPF soldiers and could provide damning testimonies against Kagame and his RPF party at any time.

The above list is not exhaustive. It does not mention large scale massacres of the population such as those that took place in Kibeho camp for internally displaced people from April 18-22, 1995 where more than 10,000 people were killed; Byumba cathedral and Musanze massacres in 1996; Gatonde, Cyabingo, and Nyakinama massacres in 1997; etc. It is during these mass killings of Hutu civilians by the Tutsi dominated army that my own family has been wiped out in February 1997. The above list shows a killing pattern that was politically motivated with the sole aim of silencing political opponents and/or covering up multiple crimes against humanity ordered by Kagame and executed by his death squads.
