Rwanda: Opposition Group Pleads to Appear on CNN
By Rwandan News Agency
Monday, 22 March 2010
Kigali: Following a major interview American network CNN had with President Kagame on March 15, the opposition United Democratic Forces Inkingi claims its leader was defamed and is seeking an appearance on the same program, RNA reports.
In the wide ranging interview, President Kagame tells host Christiane Amanpour FDU-Inkingi’s Ingabire Victoire is fronting the double Genocide theory and still dependent on the “old language of incitement”.
He said everyone in Rwanda has to play by the rules and be accountable. "There has to be leadership to make things move in the right direction," Mr. Kagame stated.
The embattled FDU-Inkingi chief claims the President unfairly attacked her and wants CNN to give her the same platform so she airs her views.
“I shall be most grateful if you could give me a chance for rectification and reply to those libels aired on CNN,” she writes.
