Rwanda’s National Liberation Forces (FNL) has appointed Capt Herman Nsengimana as its spokesperson replacing Maj Calixte Sankara who is being held by Rwandan government.
In a statement sent to this website, FLN’s political wing said Major Calixte Nsabimana Sankara who was arrested by the Kigali regime services is unable to conduct his spokesperson duties.
“MRCD informs Rwandans, EAC, SADEC member states and the rest of the International Community that; effective from today, Captain Herman Nsengimana is the new FLN spokesperson” the statement said.
It added that Captain Nsengimana is a high caliber soldier, with a history of a very close working relationship with Maj Sankara; hence his designation is expected to not only fill Major Sankara’s shoes but also increase the struggle’s momentum and morale of its troops.
“We therefore request all patriotic Rwandans and all FLN sympathizers to rally behind him in the same impetus as that provided to our irreplaceable hero, Comrade Major Sankara”.
The statement signed by the MRCD president Paul Rusesabagina denounced the communiqué dated the 4th of May 2019 and circulated on social media, designating Captain Nahimana Straton as the new FLN spokesperson.
“It was a FALSE communiqué created by RPF agents in an attempt to mislead the public” Paul Rusesabagina added.
“With the appointment Captain Nsengimana, recent boost in our cadres and troop’s morale and the International Community response in regards to Major Sankara’s kidnap should serve as a strong message to General Paul Kagame and his oppressive regime that; Major Sankara’s patriotism and ideals are immortalized in the hearts of millions of Rwandans and beyond”.
Paul Rusesabagina called on Rwandans across the world and all sympathizers to continue their support to FLN’s armed struggle as the only way to defend Major Sankara’s cause and legacy.
