The British aid of £50 millions each year for 15 years to Rwanda for budget support is killing thousands of Congolese and Rwandan Hutu in DRC. Rwanda Hutu refugee have now fled to forests where they are dying of hunger and diseases.
British have destabilised the Great lakes region for so long from Museveni, Kagame and now Nkunda. You did this to root out your traditional French enemies from the Great lakes region. You did so to control RDC natural resources, to have Rwanda as an Anglophone country. The British went to Rwanda to testify against the French for their alleged involvement in the genocide and wrote books about this. The UK media are s full of stories that disseminate these allegations against the French. Many Rwandan and African people believe that the British benefit from the current diplomatic tensions between France and Rwanda. All people Africans do not understand why the British has focused too much on Rwanda in recent years. It is a shame for the British to fight against the French people and their interests. This is not a correct behaviour for a civilised country in 21 century.
You are involved in exploiting DRC mineral resources and you use Kigali as a gateway hub to access them. We all know why you have been so much involved in Rwandan affairs. You are an invisible hand of the Rwandan genocide. You refused to intervene to stop the Rwanda genocide because you were confident that Kagame will win the war. Your intervention could have meant preventing Kagame to take the power in Rwanda. Then you decided to support him so that he can finish the job in collaboration with Museveni.
It is a shame that the leader of the UK Conservative Party went to Rwanda to speak to a non-elected parliament. It is a shame that 100 people from the Conservative Party spent 30 days in Rwanda in hotels built using the British tax payer’s money.
These people do not know anything about the lives of Rwandan poor people who live on less than one dollar a day, who are able to take a meal only once in 24 hours. It was a shame that Members of the Conservative Party were concerned only with teaching English on streets of the Kigali capital . Rwandan do not need English. They need food, freedom and rights( civil, political, social and economical) to participate fully in their society. You need to understand that Kagame is using the genocide as a weapon and selling point to attract international donor funding, destabilise his neighbours, violate human rights and strengthen his political base.
Britain did not give any penny to the Rwandan government during the former regime of the President Habyarimana. They have to wait Kagame to help Rwandans. This the evidence of their discrimination against the Hutu community. The British should not try to take positions about Rwandan affairs in UK or at the international level.
BBC has campaigned to much in favour of the dictator Kagame. They have been providing him with coverage even during his elections campaign. The UK government gives him money to enable him to select the members of the Parliament who are 75% from his own party ( the RPF who invaded Rwanda). What you are doing now is too little too late. Your aid is killing us: our families, friends, children, brothers and sisters, mums, dads and elderly. Your aid is legitimising Kagame to violate human rights, to stay on power, and to prevent democracy in Rwanda. But because of your interests, you do not care about all this.
The British people and their media have only the freedom of expression about France.
They never talk about themselves. You cannot see and independent civil right organisation or NGO in the Britain that criticises the UK government actions in Africa. This is because British NGOs dependent too much on government funding to survive. You cannot find organisations such SOS France or Survie in Britain The British are supporting apartheid in Rwanda where the Hutu communities are marginalised. Because Kagame has to pay back the aid that has received firm UK , he is imposing English to the Rwandan people, as a prerequisite to join the Commonwealth. If you do not speak English you will not get a job. Because there are few jobs in the country, then this is condition arrange the Rwandan government where only members of the RPF who invaded Rwanda from UK speak English. The British aid is being wasted in Rwanda. It has not made any difference so far to the lives of Rwandans. It has only created inequality, apartheid, inflation and strengthened the political base of Kagame. The recent increase in GDP is only a result of illegal exploitation and trade of mineral by Rwandan elites. The situation has even got worse compared to the level where Rwanda was before 1990.
What you need to do about Rwanda is this:
-Urge Kagame to allow opposition parties to operate freely and allow the parties in exile to return to Rwanda,
-Urge Kagame to establish and Truth and Reconciliation Commission, especially by allowing the Hutus also to mourn their dead people during the genocide,
-Urge Kagame to consider that the memorials of the genocide should be the memorials of all Rwandan ethnic communities dead in the genocide, not for political propaganda. These memorials contain the rests of both Hutu and Tutsi who massacred in the genocide , but Kagame collected them and labelled them as the rests of the Tutsi only.
-Urge Kagame to allow the civil society and the press to work freely, and to be established as new bodies;.
-Make sure the British aid benefit all ethnic communities, especially rural poor people;
- Urge Kagame to organise dialogue with the Rwandan opposition parties in exiles starting from Britain
-Make sure Kagame do not continue to use his unique selling point of genocide to destabilise his neighbours, misuse foreign aid, discriminate against his own people, oppress his own people
-Urge Kagame to punish the members of his rebellions who have killed thousands of Hutu during the war , especially in the regions of Byumba, Kibungo, Gikongoro camp; and who have massacred 300, 000 Hutu refugees in 1996 during the Kagame ‘s invasion of ex-Zaire.
-Urge Kagame to request the UN to establish an independent international commission to investigate the circumstances of the shooting down of the planes that were carrying the former presidents of Rwanda and Burundi , which are believed to have triggered the genocide.
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
Unfortunately, these so-called British experts are only white British. They go to Africa as consultants and leave behind black Africans from the African Diaspora who know better than them about African problems and priorities. The white British believe that the black Africans from the Diaspora have no skills to the job while they attended the same universities in the UK. To solve this problem, UK have established volunteer schemes used to send black Africans to do unpaid volunteer work.
ReplyDeleteThis is a clear evidence of why UK is campaigning for more aid to Africa. It's for the jobs of British people in Africa and UK. In Rwanda, more than 80 British 'experts' have worked there as consultants.
The problem with the British is that they never feel any shame of what they do. For them, all they do is normal even when it is not convenient to others. Imagine that they do never include any person from the African Diaspora in their consultant teams they send to Africa. They only offer some of them short-term trips to Africa for unpaid voluntary work. The British are in competition with Africans to access to jobs in Africa and with African Diaspora to access to funding and jobs in the UK. For the British, this is normal and correct. Then they debate how UK can have a "Barack Obama". With this cancer of discrimination within the British society, there will be no "UK Barack Obama".
ReplyDeleteAfricans,
- Foreign trainings has enabled a groups of ethnic Tutsi mainly from Ouganda ( many wee members of Ougandan army, with ougandan passport) to build a terrorrising group ( we avoid the word terrorist) called FPR.
- Foreign diplomatic and military support has enabled this group to attach Rwanda and terrorise the population for 4 years ( from 1990 to 1994);
- Foreign media has distorted what happened in Rwanda in 1994 and the world perception of the ethnics groups in Rwanda ( Tutsi = good and Hutu=Bad) even if the unfortunate massacre was trigerred by FPR shooting down a civialian aircraft and killing 2 elected africans presidents,
- Foreign "laws" and "justice" systems trial only african bantu ( from Bagasora to Jean Pierre Mbemba), blank cheque or even "honoris causa" diploma offered to Tutsi killers why the White person or the western corporate behind the tragedy is not even mentionned,
- Foreign intelligentisia has created a "intellectual terrorism" with consequence that if somebody trying to express his anger toward this big injustice again Black bantus, killed by the millions by Tustis, he will be protrayed as " hatred". The funny thing is no many westerners like Nazy Germans. When they say that, nobody accuses them of "hatred".
This is stupidity we have to challenge and will do.
- With foreign support, the same groups from Ouganda immediatly crossed the border of the Congo, to secure for the West the access to mineral rich Kivu where , as planned by Kansteiner and the likes ( Clinton, Madeleine Albrigh, Tony B'liar, Clarck Short, Louis Michel, Susan Rice, etc), Bantou population are being killed by the millions (6 millions congoleses).
ReplyDeleteForeign Aid to Rwanda is more the wages paid to proxy army.
Foreign Aid to Rwanda has financed the deadliest war since world war 2, Foreign Aid to Rwanda is the West litterally terrorising all Black africans using, very very sad to say, a small group of ethnic tutsi whose, survival in the future in Africa will depend of this Western supports,
Like Mobutu protected Western interest against the Communists in the 1960 an Congo became a strong state, ethnic tutsi in Kigali are prepared to protect their interest against China.
Africans do not count in this battle unless we stop crying and start by saying: NO, enough is enough. 8 millions deads on the sciage of the same ethnic group from Ouganda in 20 years, we have to stop this madness.
Africans, wake up, like Asia, like South America.
All over the world, we have seem strong regime defying the West politically, economically, intellectually, diplomatically, ... militarily.
And they have done so, very successfully.
Issicongo.
