Uganda-Rwanda ‘row’ deepens as NRM Youth Boss cries out, My life is in danger

By Francis Otucu

The Secretary, Publicity at the National Youth Council (NYC) has cried out over unknown persons whom he said are using a Rwandan mobile contact to threaten his life. David Kabanda, in a tweet sent out last night said a man speaking Kinyarwanda phoned him saying if he does not quit tweeting about Rwanda-Uganda relations, they will send him (Kabanda) to his creators.

“A man speaking Kinyarwanda has so far called me twice on this number +250780774376 threatening my life that if in 6 days I don’t leave tweeting about Rwanda-Uganda affairs I will meet my creator,” part of Kabanda’s tweet via @daudikabanda reads. Kabanda’s most recent tweet about Rwanda is when he said President Paul Kagame “knows our address very well, let him keep on provoking us, he will see sunshine at night” This was after Kagame’s interview with a German newspaper, Tar saying there is no possibility of war between the two neighbors and that Uganda understands the cost of war. Rwanda-Uganda relations have in the recent past been in the media following the neighboring nation’s move to close its borders and advising its citizens not to cross in to Uganda.
