The beginning of the end of European double standards
Rose Kabuye has passed the first hurdle in her quest for justice and defending the sovereignty of her country. It has been said all along that the case was based on the flimsiest reasons and that it won’t be long before the authors are dragged out of the woodwork into the open. The indictments against Rose and eight other Rwandans by a French investigative magistrate, Jean Louis Bruguière, are so full of glaring loopholes that his successors chose not to contest her liberty, as they were ambushed by her surprise decision to face them head on. Her conditional release is but a small victory, a battle has been won but the war is still raging, and in normal circumstances, the enemy has retreated to plan a counter-attack.
