    Habyarimana plane downed from Kanombe NOT Masaka report

    A long awaited investigation by two French judges has concluded that the missile that hit the plane carrying ex-Rwandan president Juvenal Habyarimana was shot from Kanombe, affirming the findings of an earlier investigation the Mutsinzi commission in Rwanda. The report released Tuesday afternoon in Paris (France) by the French investigative judges Marc Trévidic and Nathalie Poux says the missile trajectory came from the Kanombe area – which was under the control of the Habyarimana government forces.

    The presidential compound was actually located in the exact area, with hundreds – perhaps thousands of troops. The latest findings mean the contested investigation in 2006 of Jean Louis Bruguière which said that it was the RPF rebels who downed the plane, do not hold any facts. At the time of the shooting of the plane, then carrying the Rwandan and Burundian presidents, at 20:30 on April 06 1994, the RPF rebels were based in Masaka, several kilometres away from the flight path of the plane.

    In January 2010, a another report by renowned Rwandan judge Jean Mutsinzi found that Habyarimana’s own people in the infamous Akazu, with help from his wife, Agathe Kanziga, planned to do away with Habyarimana as part of the strategy to stop the implementation of the Arusha Accords. The conclusion of the voluminous report released to a select panel of judges in Paris behind closed doors says the Presidential Falcon 50 was brought down to create a state of anarchy that would be used to eventually launch the mass slaughter of Tutsis.

    The French investigators have concluded that this Falcon 50 carrying ex-Rwandan leader Juvenal Habyarimana was shot down from Kanombe area, which was controlled by the Habyarimana protection force.
