FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
David Himbara Memoir, Our Man Is Finished, On Surviving His Seven-Year Tenure Inside Kagame’s Deadly Powerhouse
Toronto, Canada – When David Himbara began to serve in Kagame’s powerhouse, he initially thought Rwanda was a military regime. This was not the case — the Rwandan military was Kagame himself. Next, Himbara imagined Rwanda to be a one-party state. This was not the case — the ruling party was Kagame himself. Himbara then reasoned that the Rwandan business elites dominated the government. Under no circumstance would this hold — Kagame’s business empire had swallowed up Rwanda’s private sector. Kagame’s Rwanda is a state of himself.
Himbara’s memoir takes the reader step by step of how the land of the thousand hills became Kagame’s Rwandan state of himself with his wife Mrs Jeannette Nyiramongi as the power behind the throne. Kagame systematically destroyed public, private and civil society institutions, while at same time unleashing violence and death that devastated Rwandan leaders across the board. Kagame’s brutal acts to gain total control of the people of Rwanda surpass any ruler sub-Saharan Africa has ever witnessed.
Kagame’s bloodshed did not spare his presidential staff — Himbara’s former workmates were routinely assaulted and even killed while in state custody, died mysteriously or perished in exile. Himbara survived numerous attempts on his life, especially after Kagame declared him, in a presidential speech in Parliament, that he is criminal who twice deserted his duties.
As of March 2025, however, Kagame’s state of himself is collapsing, faced with near total isolation, condemnation, and sanctions by the Western powers that previously supported him. Our man is finished — the warmongering and looting of DRC and the repression inside Rwanda finally caught up with the lone-ranger totalitarian dictator.
