Frank Ntwali got slapped on a terrorism financing list by Rwanda's Financial Intelligence Centre this month, and the opposition leader says the whole thing is fake. The Rwanda National Congress chairman has been living in South Africa for over 20 years, but Kigali keeps going after him anyway. He thinks the accusations dropped right before the G20 Summit on purpose to make critics look dangerous.
Rwanda keeps saying the RNC has ties to armed groups like the FDLR, but Ntwali says he has never worked with violent organizations, and his advocacy stays peaceful. He was born in Uganda to Rwandan parents, and he argues the sanctions are just Kigali trying to silence anyone who questions the government. South African authorities have not responded yet, but Ntwali is more worried about the message it sends than the legal drama.
