No Place for Political Violence in Rwanda, Says U.S. After... NewTimesRwanda: Rwanda
In a statement, Blinken noted that it is a relief to know that Rusesabagina is rejoining his family, and the U.S. Government is grateful to the Rwandan Government for making this reunion possible.
"There is simply no place for political violence. I thank those across the U.S. Government who have worked with the Rwandan Government to enable this outcome." The development followed back-to-back negotiations that are believed to have involved at least three countries, Rwanda, Qatar and the USA. The attacks took place in south-western Rwanda, within and around Nyungwe forest. At least nine people were killed, while others were left injured and property looted or destroyed.
