The dictator Kagame at UN
Why has the UN ignored its own report about the massacres of Hutu refugees in DRC ?
The UN has ignored its own reports, NGOs and media reports about the massacres of hundreds of thousands of Hutu in DRC Congo (estimated to be more than 400,000) by Kagame when he attacked Hutu refugee camps in Eastern DRC in 1996. This barbaric killings and human rights violations were perpetrated by Kagame’s RPF with the approval of UK and USA and with sympathetic understanding and knowledge of UNHCR and international NGOs which were operating in the refugees camps. According to the UN, NGO and media reports between 1993 and 2003 women and girls were raped. Men slaughtered. Refugees killed with machetes and sticks. The attacks of refugees also prevented humanitarian organisations to help many other refugees and were forced to die from cholera and other diseases. Other refugees who tried to return to Rwanda where killed on their way by RFI and did not reach their homes. No media, no UNHCR, no NGO were there to witness these massacres. When Kagame plans to kill, he makes sure no NGO and no media are prevent. Kagame always kills at night.

Testimonies:
Nick Gordon investigated and reported that RPF regime built crematoriums at Bugesera, Ruhengeri, Byumba, Kibungo, Inyungwe and other locations, where thousands of Hutus were killed daily and their bodies were incinerated under the program called "MANPOWER DUTIES" while U.S. officials looked on.
“ The Tutsi regime is conducting genocide in Rwanda to reduce the Hutu population to "manageable level". At Gabiro, one of those Auschwitz-like crematorium”, Nick reported. According to this researcher,, between 1000 and 2000 Hutus were incinerated daily and their ashes spread in the fields by a tractor. Nick also reported that an American military base was just adjacent to the crematorium at Bugesera. It was impossible for American GIs not to hear the daily and loud groaning coming from across the fence; neither could they fail to smell the stench of burning flesh. “A highly placed official in Kigali reached by phone last month who requested for anonymity, confirmed existence of those Nazi-like crematoriums where over 2000 Hutus are incinerated daily and their ashes scattered in fields … When asked whether U.S. officials in Kigali know of this, she answered, "Absolutely YES", Nick asserted.
Nick Gordon continues saying that “Surprisingly, U.S. military is stationed near and working with the Tutsi ‘gestapo’ know of these crematoriums but none has yet expressed any concern! U.S. officials in the White House, Pentagon, State Dept. and the CIA who pamper the Tutsi regime in Kigali have maintained total silence and often engage in cover ups to criminal activities and transgressions by the Kigali regime. According to sources in Rwanda, the crematorium at Nyungwe forest is run by a garrison who are under training by U.S. military officials. The sources implicate Americans as having built the crematorium at Byumba which is disguised as a "Water Supply and Rehabilitation of Refugees Project".
The one at Gabiro is also reported to have been constructed by Americans
Nick Gordon continues that “UDC has learnt that the population in areas surrounding those crematoriums have been complaining about the stench of burning flesh. In response, RPF Gestapo imported machines which grind the bodies and dump the remains in acid solution”
Nick (Nickolas) Gordon’s revelation has the same information with RUTAYISIRE Boniface’s report published. Mr. Rutayisire Boniface, the President of victims association TUBEHO TWESE ASBL et CIVHEMG has done the research and published his findings to this issue for regions of Kibungo, Byumba, Umutara and Kigali rural (as these places were previously called). These findings are available at www.allvictims. org
According to Major Furuma Alphonse, the former officer of RPF, in his open letter to president Kagame, Furuma declared that: "From the time Arusha Peace Agreement was being negotiated up to as late as 1996, you (Kagame Paul) carried out a deliberate policy of using all means possible to reduce the Hutu Population in the Umutara, Kibungo and Bugesera regions”.
These areas were deliberately resettled by old caseload returnees from Uganda, Tanzania and Burundi respectively. Families of many top RPF/RPA leaders are among those who were resettled in this manner."
Major Furuma Alphonse revealed that it is Paul Kagame who gave an order to soldiers of RPF to exterminate Hutus in a program of reducing the Hutu population of Umutara, Kibungo and Bugesera in order to resettle Tutsis refugees from Uganda, Tanzania and Burundi. This revelation from an RPF officer of High rank Major Furuma Alphonse, confirms that genocide against Hutu has been planed by RPF and Kagame and this truth was confirmed by our research. With other different testimonies of witnesses, all of that confirm that there is no other possible legal definition for these crimes committed by RPF against Hutus. Killings done by RPF against Hutus are genocide.
According to Rutayisire Boniface’s findings in 2006, “ […] in Ngoma sector and Nshiri (province of Kibungo , at school of Kanazi (Sake) RPF soldiers gathered a big number of Hutus, about 20,000 who were killed by RPF soldiers who had gathered them saying they were going to have a meeting with RPF administration! At Kinzovu, a significant number of Hutu was killed the same way.
Also a big number of Hutus were killed and burnt in Bisenga and Remera of Kibungo, Rwinkwavu, Rukira, Rusumo, etc. Everywhere in the Eastern part of Rwanda, many Hutus were killed by RPF soldiers and some Tutsis civilians.
In his testimony in as a neutral witness in a Brussels Tribunal Court “Cour d’Assise” on 30 November 2004, Rutayisire Boniface said: “after tree weeks of RPF’s occupation of the Eastern region of Rwanda and having closed the Rusumo border, there were indiscriminate Hutu massacres in all RPF occupied villages. The land belonging to the killed Hutus was then occupied by their Tutsi Killers.
When RPF arrived at Rusumo, they closed the border thereby stopping the Hutus from fleeing in to Tanzania. The Hutu were actually fleeing because of systematic massacres which were being perpetrated by Tutsis civil and RPF against Hutus. There were brought in concentration camps of Hutus before their execution by RPF and some Tutsi civilians!
In the meantime, the hunt for the Hutu in every possible hideout under the code ‘Fouiller les Hutus’ - meaning that hunt every Hutu systematically and every where with attention by RPF/RPA and some Tutsi civilians like the Tutsi had been hunted by the Interahamwe in other regions. The Old, children and women Hutus who were unable to reach the concentration camps were killed en route! Gahini, Mukarange, Kabarondo, Gabiro, among other Hutu concentration camps remain in many people’s memory!
Almost at every public place and particularly hospitals and markets, RPF and RPA personnel and some Tutsi civilians have organised groups of soldiers who had the job of capturing Hutus(children, women, men and old people) coming to market or Hospitals. Hutus captured were then taken immediately to nearest concentrations camps where they were mercilessly massacred. The most infamous concentration camps were in Gahini where the concentration camp was just near the Hospital in old carpentry.
Killing in these concentration camps were done in many different ways including dismantling one’s skull with an old hoe locally known as agafuni. Other infamous concentration camps for the Hutu were in Gabiro,Ryamanyoni, Zaza, Nasho, Rwinkwavu, Rukira, Rusumo, etc.
Different ‘humanitarian assistance’ NGO looked on while the Hutu who were coming towards them for help especially for food were being diverted to the concentration camps instead of being served with the food. Notwithstanding that these NGOs have decided to keep quite over what they saw happen to the Hutu, it is our considered view that they have a moral and legal duty to testify. We, the survivors and victims of all these crimes, argue them to tell the story without fear or favour.
For Peter Verlinden, a Belgian journalist, in his testimony of 28 September 2004, he said that he has verified several times the information of killing Hutus by RPF. He added on that other testimonies gathered by Professor Filip Reyntjens and images from different international media from the beginning of April 1994. His conclusion is this “I can confirm that a big number of images presented as victims of people killed by Interahamwe at the end of April and the beginning of may 1994, those victims were victims of people killed by RPF.
The crimes committed against Hutu refugees in Congo are well documented. In effect, in his letter dated 29th June 1998, the UN Secretary General is categorical that: “the members of investigating team described the crimes committed that time by AFDL and elements of RPF as Genocide ( genocide against Hutus refugees in Congo).
It is of paramount importance to note that the chief of staff of AFDL during that time was James Kabarebe who is now the chief of RDF (Rwanda Defence Force).
According to a Belgian government newspaper “Le Soir N° 189 of Wednesday 14th and Thursday 15th August 2002, p5 : "Members of Rwandese opposition party denounced the massacres done systematically in 1994 in Umutara, Kibungo and Bugesera regions and said that about 10.000 to 20.000 Hutus were killed in some communes (districts). The same crimes and similar methods of killings against the Hutus in Rwanda by RPF were used in Congo. If, the perpetrators of these crimes against the Hutus should be brought to Justice, it could help to know what happened with the regime of RPF.
Rwanda: The crimes of genocide committed by RPF against Hutus, they are known (in Rwanda) as crimes of genocide against Hutus and the Hutu population claims for justice together with Tutsi genocide. According to the “Report of Member of Rwandan Parliament, Kigali, June 2004” it written that: in district of Rukara, Umutara ex Kibungo, the Gacaca Courts have problems because some Hutus on village (in East) ask for justice of their people killed by RPF”.
The report in Kinyarwanda continues saying that “these problems have been identified: there are places where in the meeting of Gacaca Courts, the population say “we continue to talk only problems of Tutsis killed by Interahamwe, but when will we talk officially the problem of Hutus killed by Inkotanyi (soldiers of RPF)?
The film by Marcel Guerin realised by Peter Verlinden and broadcasted by Vlaams Radio and Television in Belgium (VRT) also gives details of crimes of genocide committed by RPF along Rwanda-Tanzania boarder.
It gives also details on crimes committed by RPF along Rwanda-Uganda boarder. Visit www.allvictims. org for that film.

-“The enemies of Freedom do not argue ; they shout and they shoot.”
The principal key root causes that lead to the Rwandan genocide of 1994 that affected all Rwandan ethnic groups were:
1)The majority Hutu community’s fear of the return of the discriminatory monarchy system that was practiced by the minority Tutsi community against the enslaved majority Hutu community for about 500 years
2)The Hutu community’s fear of Kagame’s guerrilla that committed massacres in the North of the country and other parts of the countries including assassinations of Rwandan politicians.
3) The Rwandan people felt abandoned by the international community ( who was believed to support Kagame’s guerrilla) and then decided to defend themselves with whatever means they had against the advance of Kagame’ guerrilla supported by Ugandan, Tanzanian and Ethiopian armies and other Western powers.
-“The enemies of Freedom do not argue ; they shout and they shoot.”
-“The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.”
-“The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
-“I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.”
The Rwanda war of 1990-1994 had multiple dimensions.
The Rwanda war of 1990-1994 had multiple dimensions. Among Kagame’s rebels who were fighting against the Rwandan government, there were foreigners, mainly Ugandan fighters who were hired to kill and rape innocent Rwandan people in Rwanda and refugees in DRC.

SUMMARY : THE TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES OF THE BRITISH BUDGET SUPPORT AND GEO-STRATEGIC AMBITIONS
The Rwandan genocide and 6,000,000 Congolese and Hutu refugees killed are the culminating point of a long UK’s battle to expand their influence to the African Great Lakes Region. UK supported Kagame’s guerrilla war by providing military support and money. The UK refused to intervene in Rwanda during the genocide to allow Kagame to take power by military means that triggered the genocide. Kagame’s fighters and their families were on the Ugandan payroll paid by UK budget support.
· 4 Heads of State assassinated in the francophone African Great Lakes Region.
· 2,000,000 people died in Hutu and Tutsi genocides in Rwanda, Burundi and RD.Congo.
· 600,000 Hutu refugees killed in R.D.Congo, Uganda, Central African Republic and Rep of Congo.
· 6,000,000 Congolese dead.
· 8,000,000 internal displaced people in Rwanda, Burundi and DR. Congo.
· 500,000 permanent Rwandan and Burundian Hutu refugees, and Congolese refugees around the world.
· English language expansion to Rwanda to replace the French language.
· 20,000 Kagame’s fighters paid salaries from the British Budget Support from 1986 to present.
· £500,000 of British taxpayer’s money paid, so far, to Kagame and his cronies through the budget support, SWAPs, Tutsi-dominated parliament, consultancy, British and Tutsi-owned NGOs.
· Kagame has paid back the British aid received to invade Rwanda and to strengthen his political power by joining the East African Community together with Burundi, joining the Commonwealth, imposing the English Language to Rwandans to replace the French language; helping the British to establish businesses and to access to jobs in Rwanda, and to exploit minerals in D.R.Congo.

This blog reports the crimes that remain unpunished and the impunity that has generated a continuous cycle of massacres in many parts of Africa. In many cases, the perpetrators of the crimes seem to have acted in the knowledge that they would not be held to account for their actions.
The need to fight this impunity has become even clearer with the massacres and genocide in many parts of Africa and beyond.
The blog also addresses issues such as Rwanda War Crimes, Rwandan Refugee massacres in Dr Congo, genocide, African leaders’ war crimes and crimes against humanity, Africa war criminals, Africa crimes against humanity, Africa Justice.
-General Kagame has been echoing the British advice that Rwanda does not need any loan or aid from Rwandan traditional development partners, meaning that British aid is enough to solve all Rwandan problems.
-The British obsession for the English Language expansion has become a tyranny that has led to genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, dictatorial regimes, human rights violations, mass killings, destruction of families, communities and cultures, permanent refugees and displaced persons in the African Great Lakes region.
- Rwanda, a country that is run by a corrupt clique of minority-tutsi is governed with institutional discrmination, human rights violations, dictatorship, authoritarianism and autocracy, as everybody would expect.
