Detractors shamed as Kabuye sets sail to France

With fire in her belly, the Director of State Protocol, Rose Kabuye returns to France. She is determined to take the bull by the horns to prove her innocence. After a two week jaunt back in Rwanda, it was all tears at the airport as her many fans saw her leave. She spent the Christmas and New Year festive season with family, friends and her allies in the political leadership. It was a time to relax, enjoy the many festivities, but to also prepare for battle. If the French thought by releasing Kabuye back to Rwanda it was the last they would see or hear of her – then they had better prepare for what is coming. Kabuye has called their bluff, she is on her way back to France. In what is set to be one of the most profound challenges to the skewed application of the principle of Universal Jurisdiction; Kabuye, will stand trial on the basis of arrest warrants issued in 2006 against her and other senior Rwandan government officials by French judge Jean Louis Bruguière.
