On December 16, 2000, Kagame's death squads struck in Brussels, Belgium, killing Ms. Regina Uwamariya, sister of Colonel Theoneste Bagosora.

On June 8, 2003, Kagame's death-squads killed Lt. Colonel Laurent Bangaya in Calabar, Nigeria. The killing of Lt. Col. Bangaya came two weeks after Kagame had left Nigeria. It was believed that the final plan to kill him was finalized and approved by Kagame during the visit in Nigeria.

In 2008, Kagame's death-squads struck in Brussels, Belgium, killing Juvenal Uwiringiyimana, former Commerce Minister under President Juvenal Habyarimana.

On July 13, 2010, Kagame's death squads struck in Tanzania, killing Professor Jwani Timothy Mwaikusa, who was a lead lawyer of Yussuf Munyakazi at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) in Arusha, Tanzania.

3. Killing of Journalists and other critical voices

To cover up all his wrongdoings and suppress the truth about what happened in Rwanda since October 1990, Kagame targeted independent reporters and investigative journalists. Score of journalists have since been killed while the luckier ones escaped and sought asylum abroad.

Many journalists were assassinated in retaliation to their work. Freethinking journalism has become a non starter under Kagame's regime.
