KIGALI, Rwanda — Rwanda’s president on Wednesday warned a prominent opposition leader and others newly released from prison to be “humble” and “careful” or they’ll end up behind bars again. President Paul Kagame’s address to new lawmakers was his first public comment since the surprise weekend release, with no explanation, of more than 2,100 prisoners including Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza. Shortly after her release she urged Kagame to free all political prisoners including former presidential challenger Diane Rwigara, who also has denied wrongdoing. Kagame told the new parliament members that the “political stars” were freed because the government of the East African nation wants to work in harmony with others. We would still have 100 of thousands in jail,” the president said.
