AFRICA: What if Gen. Nziza had not gone to Rwanda!!!

WHAT IF GEN. NZIZA HAD NOT GONE TO RWANDA!!!

CHANGE OF GUARDS - Gen. Jack Nziiza is a Munyarwanda Tutsi born in Chahafi, Kisoro District. He is supposed to be a Mufumbira just like Gen. Kalekyezi whom some sources suggest is his cousin. He graduated from Makerere University before joining the NRA after takeover in 1986. As a junior soldier under the then DMI (renamed CMI), he attended a Military Intelligence and VIP Protection course conducted by the Koreans at Kireka. At DMI he served under Counter Intelligence whose Assistant Director was Patrick Karegeya.

When the Banyarwanda soldiers left the NRA to invade Rwanda in October 1990, the then Director of Military Intelligence (DMI), Col. Byemaro Mijumbi deployed then Sgt. Jack Nziza to Kisoro to monitor the border security. The choice of Jack Nziiza was dictated by the fact that as a Mufumbira whose home was in Kisoro, he was better positioned to effectively monitor the security situation.

Unknown to the top leadership at DMI, the majority Hutu Bafumbira were in favour of the Hutu regime of Habyarimana in Rwanda while the minority Bafumbira Tutsi supported the invading Tutsi dominated RPF. That is how the then Bishop of Muhabura, Halerimana who got deeply involved with the RPF and his leadership was consequently resented by his faithfuls. DMI was hit by a big surprise when Sgt. Jack Nziza switched sides and never reported back. That is why the Bafumbira Hutu strongman, Philemon Mateke is allegedly coordinating the Rwanda dissidents in Uganda.

After the capture of power by the RPF in 1994, Sgt. Jack Nziza remained a member of the new Randa army, the RPA. In the late 1990s, he was attached to the Rwanda Embassy in Kenya when prominent Rwandan dissidents were assassinated in Nairobi. Consequently, Jack Nziiza was expelled and declared a personna non grata in Kenya. At the fall of the Mubutu regime in Congo, Jack Nziza became Congo's intelligence chief under Laurent Kabila.

After Congo, Jack Nziza held different top positions in Rwanda's security apparatus. Director of Military Intelligence (DMI), Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Defence, and Inspector General of the Army among others. He won Kagame's confidence and became so powerful that some Rwandans regarded him as the defacto Vice President. Some also so much resented his alleged orchestration of gross human rights abuses that they simply refer to him as Wamugande (the Ugandan). In July 2017 he retired from the army at the rank of Maj. General.

On the other hand, if the Mufumbira Sgt. Jack Nziza had not gone with the RPF to Rwanda in 1990, Uganda would have commissioned him to the rank of Lieutenant by 1992. He would have remained a junior officer under DMI up to the time Gen. Tumukunde became the head. Tumukunde's cleanup of DMI to get rid of those who were considered to have had links with Banyarwanda would have seen Jack Nziza sent to the Army Headquarters for redeployment somewhere else.

At worst, the Rwanda/Uganda fallout following the Kisangani clashes would have left Jack Nziza being branded a mole and sent into oblivion. But as Police Chief, Gen. Kalekyezi would have picked Jack Nziza and seconded him to the police. The ongoing crackdown of police officers suspected of having been serving Rwanda's interests wouldn't have spared 'Lt. Col' Jack Nziza and would still be in incarceration at Makindye Barracks.

INFORMATION IS POWER AND THE PROBLEM OF UGANDA IS MUSEVENISM
