Kagame, Conservatives discuss BBC, FDLR

URUGWIRO VILLAGE - President Paul Kagame yesterday held discussions with a delegation of visiting British Conservative Party. The members of the party touted to win the next elections had paid a courtesy call on the President to discuss the activities and progress of Project Umubano, the party’s social action project in Rwanda. The meeting discussed the altercations Rwanda has had with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and the existence of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Addressing the press shortly after the meeting, Member of Parliament and Conservatives shadow Secretary of State for International Development, Andrew Mitchell, said that the leading UK opposition party understands and acknowledges Rwanda’s reasons for banning BBC Kinyarwanda programmes as well as the problem of FDLR to the country’s security.
