The dictator Kagame at UN

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

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.

OPJDR expects the UNHCHR report on Human Rights abuses in DRC between

His Excellency Ban Ki-Moon September 2, 2010

Re: OPJDR expects the UNHCHR report on Human Rights abuses in DRC between
March 1993 and June 2003 to be officially released as it was drafted without any
distortion on the content and that a genuine action be taken thereafter.
Excellency,
The Organization for Peace , Justice and Development in Rwanda (OPJDR), Inc; a
human rights organization based in US with area of interest being the Great Lakes region
of Africa, has just read the draft of the report from United Nations High Commission for
Human Rights (UNHCHR) detailing serious violations of human rights and international
humanitarian law, including crimes of genocide perpetrated by the current army of
Rwanda, Rwanda Patriotic Army, against Hutu refugees in DRC between 1996 and 1998.
OPJDR welcomes this report but was disturbed by the information that the Government
of Rwanda has for months being busy pressuring you personally and the whole UN
system to dismiss the entire report or at least to water it down by removing the term
"genocide". This information has been confirmed by the French daily newspaper Le
Monde in its edition dated August 26, 2010, an official letter sent to you on August 3,
2010 by Mrs. Louise Mushikiwabo, Rwandan Minister of Foreign Affairs and finally by
statement of the government of Rwanda dated August 27, 2010 where it threatens to
withdraw its forces from African Union- United Nations Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) if
its demands were not met.
Reports and testimonies about the atrocities that have been committed by the RPA are not
new in the UN offices but unfortunately, all of them have been dismissed under the
pressure of Kigali and its lobbies. OPJDR recalls a few of them.
1. On April 6, 1994, the presidential aircraft carrying the then Presidents Juvenal
Habyarimana of Rwanda and Cyprien Ntaryamira of Burundi, has been shoot
down when preparing to land at the Kigali International Airport. All 13 persons
on board perished. Despite the fact that the airport was under the control of the
United Nations Mission in Rwanda (UNAMIR), UN did not dare to conduct any
genuine investigation and the UN International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda
(ICTR), refuses to look at the issue even though it states that this terrorist act
sparked the Rwanda genocide. French and Spanish judges, who investigated the
incident, concluded that the RPF/RPA was responsible of the aircraft shooting.

2. In April 1994, when it was clear that the genocide was underway, the UN
preferred to walk away by pulling most of its peacekeeping force of UNAMIR.
People of Rwanda and friends of Rwanda will never forget that moment.
3. In October 1994, Mr. Robert Gersony, consultant to the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), after a four week long investigation
inside Rwanda and Tanzania, concluded that the RPF regime has murdered at
least 30,000 Hutus since July 1994. Kigali regime threatened to terminate the
operations of the UNAMIR, if the report was validated. The UN, represented in
Rwanda by Shaharyar Khan, succumbed to the pressure and sealed the report.
4. On April 22, 1995, the Rwanda Patriotic Army (RPA) massacred internally
displaced people (IDP) in Kibeho, South West of Rwanda in the presence of
Australian and Zambian UN peacekeepers from UNAMIR. More than 8000
refugees Hutu perished that day and UN kept silent as of today.
5. In 1997, the Special Reporter of the UN commission in charge of human rights in
DRC, the Chilean Roberto Garreton, released a report on crimes committed by the
RPA against the Hutu refugees in DRC. The Rwanda government put an intensive
pressure to suppress the report and managed to block a UN mission that was set to
confirm the results of the Garreton's mission. The public did not hear about this
mission since then.
6. The selectively ethnic killings started in February 1991 in the Byumba and
Ruhengeri prefectures when RPF staged a major attack in several communes of
the Provinces of Ruhengeri and Byumba, selectively killing as many Hutus as
42,200 Hutu populations
7. UN HCR team report of September 12, 1994 "New Human Rights Abuse in
Rwanda" led by George E. Moose concluded that RPF and Tutsi civilians killed at
least 10,000 Hutu civilians per month with a purpose of ethnic cleansing intended
to clear certain areas in the south of Rwanda for Tutsi returnees' habitation. The
killings also served to reduce the population of Hutu males and discouraged
refugees from returning to claim their lands".
8. These are few UN official reports but numerous eyewitnesses, most of them
survivors of these pogroms are available around the world and would be more
than happy to testify.
OPJDR urges the UN not to fail once again the people of Rwanda by dismissing or
altering this genuine report. People of Rwanda has suffered so much in the hand of war
mongers and other criminals that it needs now to know exactly what happened and who
did what, so it can start the long process of healing and reconciliation based on a solid
foundation of truth and justice.
The fact that the Kigali regime threatens to withdraw its troops does not hold at all. First,
that mission in Darfour is not founded by Rwandan taxpayers, so other countries will be
ready to provide necessary troops. Second, UN is setting a very bad example by
employing troops from Rwanda suspected to have committed genocide in peacekeeping
missions as in Darfour where the International Criminal Court (ICC) has concluded that
crimes of genocide took place.
OPJDR believes that justice will prevail and that this report will be officially launched
and that genuine actions will be taken thereafter such as the creation of a special tribunal
for Congo or by the amending the status of the ICTR or ICC to prosecute those who will
be found responsible of those crimes. It is only that way that the impunity will be
eradicated in the Great Lakes region of Africa.
Due to this report, once again OPJDR asks to the UN Security council and the President
of the ICTR to stop sending cases of detainees in Arusha to Rwanda to be prosecuted by
their war opponents. OPJDR reminds you that, in the resolution 955 creating the ICTR,
the UN Security Council concluded that both parties to the conflict, namely RPF and the
government forces, have been involved in genocide and other crimes against humanity
and should respond before the created tribunal. Therefore, the current government in
place in Rwanda led by RPF doesn't have the moral authority to prosecute anybody else
for the crime they are themselves accused for.
In conclusion we would like to recall this quote from Albert Einstein work "The world
will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but those who look and refuse to act."
Sincerely;
Pascal Kalinganire

-“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

United Kingdom's Proxy Wars in Africa: The Case of Rwanda and DR Congo:

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.


Thousands of Hutu murdered by Kagame inside Rwanda, e.g. Kibeho massacres

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

-The British relentless and long running battle to become the sole player and gain new grounds of influence in the francophone African Great Lakes Region has led to the expulsion of other traditional players from the region, or strained diplomatic relations between the countries of the region and their traditional friends. These new tensions are even encouraged by the British using a variety of political and economic manoeuvres.

-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.
