Kagame’s government has alleged for years that Rusesabagina is supporting Rwandan rebels attacking the country from abroad. The Movement party has a militant wing, which operates in the region and which the Rwandan government considers a terrorist group. Rusesabagina last spoke to his wife last Thursday from Dubai, and his whereabouts was unknown until he surfaced on Monday in Rwanda, according to Kitty Kurth, a spokeswoman for his Hotel Rwanda Rusesabagina Foundation, who is based in Chicago. But rights groups have accused his government of heavy-handedness, and say that executions, disappearances and torture are common. The authorities said he killed himself, but rights groups called for further investigation.
