TO H.E, President Paul Kagame
Republic of Rwanda
P.O Box 160 Kigali, Rwanda

Mr. President,

     At his time of sorrow, I am writing to you for the seventh time on behalf of Kabera’s family to express our frustration by the lack of investigations in the death of Kabera Assiel, adviser to the former President Pasteur Bizimungu, assassinated on March 5th, 2000 in Kigali. 
    We have called on you year after year to fulfill you promises to Kabera’s family. You stated in a letter of condolence that you will use all means at your disposal to bring the culprits to justice. Eleven years later, we are still in the dark about what has been done to investigate the death of one your collaborators. 
   Mr. President, It has been 11 years since our beloved father and brother was cowardly assassinated by elements of Rwanda army. This is not our invention but what you told us in your office on March 14, 2000 in the presence of the current senator Aloysia Inyumba: “Mr.  Kabera Assiel assassination was the work of mafia composed of elements of the national army and some civilians, linked by mutual interests not yet identified”.  You added” I will never let this country be run by such mafia”.  We have provided you the list of the people who were allegedly involved in Kabera assassination in our letter of February 24, 2005. The same list was circulated in local newspaper in 2010. We have written to the National Prosecutor to investigate the matter. A copy of this letter was sent you.
   Could we know why those elements have not been brought to justice and what had been done to dismantle the mafia that killed Assiel Kabera and probably many others? Many people have gone on the record saying that the assassination of Assiel Kabera was politically motivated. Although your government has strongly denied these allegations, it has been unable to bring the murders to the justice. 
   We, the family of  Assiel Kabera,  strongly believe that the only way the government of Rwanda could clear the situation is to bring the culprits to the Court of justice where they were explain the motivation of their coward and  ignominious act.
  As we all know, justice delayed is justice denied. None one should be above of the rule of law regardless of the position occupied in the military or the administration. Therefore, we  urge your government to deliver justice and bring to the court of justice all  persons who have allegedly been involved in Assiel Kabera assassination and let his family knows of any  progress  in this endeavor.  
  Your Excellency, we will continue to call upon you to fulfill your promises to Kabera’s family and we believe eventually, justice will prevail. 

While we await an answer, please accept our highest regards.
Sincerely

For Assiel Kabera’s family,

Dr. Joshua Kayijaho
