Jennifer Byukusenge, a suspected Rwandan spy reportedly sent by President Paul Kagame to assassinate Maj Gen Sabiiti Muzeeyi, has told her country’s media that no Munyarwanda is safe in President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni’s Uganda.
Speaking to reporters on May 06, a day after Kampala deported her and 16 others through the Kagitumba border point, Byukusenge said Rwandans in Uganda lived in fear of deportations, arrest and detention over espionage.
“Apparently every Rwandan there is at risk to the point that if a Ugandan neighbour hates you, he can report you anytime and make false accusations that you are spying even if you have not been in Rwanda for a long time,” Byukusenge said.
Byukusenge says she spent about one month in CMI detention after operatives picked her from her friend’s house in Buziga.
A day earlier, she had come to Uganda to check on her mother in Nalukolongo.
Kigali has previously warned Rwandans against travel Uganda.
Relations between Kigali and Kampala have remained frosty in recent years, with Rwanda even closing it’s border point of Katuna in February 2019.
