The collateral mass killings and rapes aided by the British budget support to Kagame’s guerrilla war based in Uganda, and to the current Kagame’s regime against Kabila of DRC:
The United Nations has said there has been huge increase in rapes and killings in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo over the past month, a spokeswoman said.
More than four hundred rape cases were recorded in most of the province during the first three months in 2009. The number of cases are equivalent to more than half of the total cases registered there last year.
"This is a cry of alarm, we are shocked," said Elisabeth Byrs of the UN humanitarian coordination office, adding that there has been a "dramatic" resurgence in rapes and attacks in Sud-Kivu province, with civilians burnt alive in their homes.
"The insecurity is intolerable,” Byrs added. “We are seeing an extremely grave trend with rapes used as a weapon of war."
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a briefing note that civilians were "increasingly the victims of lootings, extortion, killings and rapes" committed by the Congolese army, and armed groups such as the Rwandan Hutu rebel FDLR and Mai-Mai militia.
FRANCE 24 correspondent Arnaud Zaijtman, who is based in Kinshasa in the DRC, says the report proves that a current lull in fighting between government troops and rebel militias has hidden the reality of increasing violence.
Burned alive
Some 1,128 homes were burned down in three villages during attacks in which 77 people were killed with machetes and knives then burned alive in one attack by the FDLR, Byrs said.
"There is terrible violence currently in Sud-Kivu, especially in the region of Kakeli," she explained.
According to Zajtman, “Combatants who were previously supported by Rwanda have joined the DRC national army – but they have kept many of their weapons and money to keep up their illegal attacks.”
“Rebels have taken advantage of the situation to take over a huge tin mine that will provide them with further funds,” Zajtman added. “There is a definite feeling that fighting will erupt again. And the rebels are taking advantage of the lull to get more funds and more weapons to fight.”

The dictator Kagame at UN
Dictators like Kagame who have changed their national constitutions to remain indefinitely on power should not be involved in UN high level and global activities including chairing UN meetings

Thousands of Hutu murdered by Kagame inside Rwanda, e.g. Kibeho massacres
Kagame killed 200,000 Hutus from all regions of the country, the elderly and children who were left by their relatives, the disabled were burned alive. Other thousands of people were killed in several camps of displaced persons including Kibeho camp. All these war crimes remain unpunished.The British news reporters were accompanying Kagame’s fighters on day-by-day basis and witnessed these massacres, but they never reported on this.
25,000 Hutu bodies floated down River Akagera into Lake Victoria in Uganda.
The British irrational, extremist, partisan,biased, one-sided media and politicians have disregarded Kagame war crimes e.g. the Kibeho camp massacres, massacres of innocents Hutu refugees in DR. Congo. The British media have been supporting Kagame since he invaded Rwanda by organising the propaganda against the French over the Rwandan genocide, suppressing the truth about the genocide and promoting the impunity of Kagame and his cronies in the African Great Lakes Region. For the British, Rwanda does not need democracy, Rwanda is the African Israel; and Kagame and his guerilla fighters are heroes.The extremist British news reporters including Fergal Keane, Chris Simpson, Chris McGreal, Mark Doyle, etc. continue to hate the Hutus communities and to polarise the Rwandan society.
Kagame political ambitions triggered the genocide.
Kagame’s guerrilla war was aimed at accessing to power at any cost. He rejected all attempts and advice that could stop his military adventures including the cease-fire, political negotiations and cohabitation, and UN peacekeeping interventions. He ignored all warnings that could have helped him to manage the war without tragic consequences. Either you supported Kagame’ s wars and you are now his friend, or you were against his wars and you are his enemy. Therefore, Kagame as the Rwandan strong man now, you have to apologise to him for having been against his war and condemned his war crimes, or accept to be labelled as having been involved in the genocide. All key Kagame’s fighters who committed war crimes and crimes against humanity are the ones who hold key positions in Rwandan army and government for the last 15 years. They continue to be supported and advised by the British including Tony Blair, Andrew Mitchell MP, and the British army senior officials.
Aid that kills: The British Budget Support financed Museveni and Kagame’s wars in Rwanda and DRC.
Genocide propaganda and fabrications are used by the so-called British scholars, news reporters and investigative journalists to promote their CVs and to get income out of the genocide through the selling of their books, providing testimonies against the French, access to consultancy contracts from the UN and Kagame, and participation in conferences and lectures in Rwanda, UK and internationally about genocide. Genocide propaganda has become a lucrative business for Kagame and the British. Anyone who condemned or did not support Kagame’s war is now in jail in Rwanda under the gacaca courts system suuported by British tax payer's money, or his/she is on arrest warrant if he/she managed to flee the Kagame’s regime. Others have fled the country and are still fleeing now. Many others Rwandans are being persecuted in their own country. Kagame is waiting indefinitely for the apologies from other players who warn him or who wanted to help to ensure that political negotiations take place between Kagame and the former government he was fighting against. Britain continues to supply foreign aid to Kagame and his cronies with media reports highlighting economic successes of Rwanda. Such reports are flawed and are aimed at misleading the British public to justify the use of British taxpayers’ money. Kagame and his cronies continue to milk British taxpayers’ money under the British budget support. This started from 1986 through the British budget support to Uganda until now.
Dictator Kagame: No remorse for his unwise actions and ambitions that led to the Rwandan genocide.
No apologies yet to the Rwandan people. The assassination of President Juvenal Habyarimana by Kagame was the only gateway for Kagame to access power in Rwanda. The British media, politicians, and the so-called British scholars took the role of obstructing the search for the truth and justice; and of denying this assassination on behalf of General Kagame. General Paul Kagame has been obliging the whole world to apologise for his mistakes and war crimes. The UK’s way to apologise has been pumping massive aid into Rwanda's crony government and parliement; and supporting Kagame though media campaigns.
Fanatical, partisan, suspicious, childish and fawning relations between UK and Kagame
Kagame receives the British massive aid through the budget support, British excessive consultancy, sector wide programmes, the Tutsi-dominated parliament, British and Tutsi-owned NGOs; for political, economic and English language expansion to Rwanda. The British aid to Rwanda is not for all Rwandans. It is for Kagame himself and his Tutsi cronies.
Paul Kagame' actvities as former rebel
Research shows that the British are No 1 to advance their own interests through their aid ideology and propaganda. They know what they get out of it.
ReplyDeleteTheir agenda is always behind their foreign aid. Just look at what they have done and are still doing in the African Great Lakes Region. They aid has helped the wars in the that region from Uganda to Rwanda, and from Rwanda to Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Now they claim to be the major donors in the countries of that region. Take just an example. All 20,000 guerrilla men based in and supported by Uganda and UK, who were at the war against the Rwandan government from 1990 to 1994 were on the Ugandan government payroll funded by the British budget support. Then, the Kagame’s soldiers who invaded twice the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where about 4,000, 000 people have been killed ,were on the Rwandan government payroll funded by the UK government. This situation still continues now in DRC with the British budget support.
As you are aware, with the scandal over the British MPs claims and expenses , the UK should be classified by Transparency International as one of the most corrupt countries in the world. But this will not happen because of the language of corruption adopted by the West. In Africa, these MPs’ claims will be labelled as corruption. In Britain, corruption is claims, entitlements, honest mistakes, benefits, bonuses, etc. This scandal shows that the British are the most corrupt people in the world. Their MPs claim like they were claiming from a foreign country. They are simply thieves.
This corruption is the evidence of what the British do in Africa and other parts of developing world through their NGOs, consultants, advisers , the so-called development practitioners, etc. To create jobs for consultants, they change the language of development. They come up with new concepts such as Rural Rapid Appraisal ( RRA) , Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), Participatory Learning and Action, Logical Framework ,etc. These terminologies cannot even be translated in African languages.
Then our communities, farmers, professionals and governments feel confused by the new approaches, ideologies and terminologies. They have only one choice: accepting these consultants paid by their own resources or paid through technical assistance, which is part of foreign aid they receive.
The British provide foreign aid to African countries through their budget support for education , health care, etc. Then they send consultants to take the jobs from people supposedly trained through this budget support. This means that their budget support ( or neo-colonialism support ) did not achieve anything because Africans are not able to develop their own human resources to replace the consultants. Regarding the health care, the budget support is supposed to help African countries develop human resources to tackle Africa chronic health problems, but the British take trained nurses out Africa to work in their hospitals.
My question:
Do we really need magic brains to understand why African countries and their people continue to live in misery? Say Yes or No.
