Patrick Karegeya
Talk
Patrick Karegeya (1960 2014) was a head of intelligence in Rwanda. After being twice thrown in jail over alleged indiscipline, desertion and insubordination, he was stripped of his rank of Colonel in 2006 and went into exile in 2007.[1]
Karegeya was born in Mbarara in southwestern Uganda. He attended Makerere University where he earned a Bachelor of Law degree. He joined the National Resistance Army in Uganda but was arrested in June 1982 and charged with treason, spending three years in jail. Later he joined President Yoweri Museveni in the struggle that led to the overthrow of Milton Obote. He was a lieutenant in Ugandan military intelligence when the decision to invade Rwanda was made, at a time when his friend Paul Kagame was studying in the USA.[1]
From 1994 to 2004 Karegeya was Director General, External Intelligence in the Rwandan Defence Forces.[1] As chief of intelligence in Rwanda he had great power. Karegeya was arrested and served an 18-month sentence for desertion and insubordination.[2] He was stripped of his rank of Colonel on 13 July 2006 by a military tribunal and fled the country in 2007.[1] Later, Kagame claimed that he was in the pay of South African military intelligence.[3]
In August 2010 Karegeya told the Ugandan paper The Observer that Kagame was a dictator who would not leave power unless he was forced out by war.[4] The same month he told the BBC that Kagame had ordered a series of political killings.[5]
On 1 January 2014, Karegeya was found dead at the Michelangelo Towers, an upmarket hotel in the Johannesburg suburb of Sandton in South Africa. Reports indicate he had gone to attend a meeting at the hotel when he was murdered.[6] The circumstances leading to his death remain unknown. The South African police are conducting investigations although the Rwandan opposition party, the Rwanda National Congress (RNC) said in a statement to AFP that He was strangled by agents of (Rwandan President Paul) Kagame, having previously survived several assassination attempts. Karegeya leaves behind his wife Leah and three children.
It was reported in the South African press that Karegeya had agreed to dispense with his South African security detail in 2012. The South African government had provided the protection since Karegeyas arrival in South Africa in 2007.[7]
