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.

DRC: Congolese should learn from Rwanda 1992

 

DRC: Congolese should learn from Rwanda 1992

Congolese populations fleeing fighting in Goma area.
The Rwandan Patriotic Front [RPF] invaded Rwanda on October 1st 1990. By 1992, Paul Kagame's rebellion fully supported by Joweri Museveni occupied a fraction of the Rwandan territory bordering Uganda. RPF rebels managed to put military pressure on Habyarimana's government for their grievances, as M23 is doing with the Congolese authorities. 
One major mistake that different Rwandan political parties MDR, PSD and PL then opposed to the president made was that they thought that by siding with RPF politically, they could speed up the removal of Juvenal Habyarimana and gain power and share it with the rebels. They put aside their democratic values they had been brandishing against the Rwandan president and supported an armed rebellion which were causing misery to hundreds of thousands of Rwandan citizens particularly from rural areas.
They were wrong in supporting RPF in its armed struggle because they lost on all the fronts: 1) they didn't save the nation by refusing to unite with all the forces which were against the invaders, but ready if necessary to listen to their grievances though not giving them too much; 2) they facilitated the task to RPF in gaining internal support and momentum to achieve its political objectives; 3) they were immediately sidelined by Paul Kagame's RPF once he took power in Kigali on July 4th, 1994. Congolese should learn here what happened to those who accepted to sit and negotiate with RPF at the time.
In the case of DRC, the roles are inverted  contrary to what prevailed in Rwanda of 1992. The Congolese opposition appears more patriotic ready to defend interests of the country than the presidential camp of Joseph Kabila which thinks wrongly that by responding favorably to Joweri Museveni, Paul Kagame and M23 for negotiations with the latter they might save DRC from balkanisation. By giving in, Joseph Kabila has shown again his weakness and lack of sacrifice for DRC and those interested in the two Kivus will be playing on that Achilles' heel once more.
A negotiation meeting started this week in Kampala between M23 and Kabila's government that the latter has been forced into. The meeting is being held under the leadership of Joweri Museveni. And the camp working for the partition of DRC has the upper hand, having seriously tested how weak DRC institutions are by managing to capture, occupy and "leave" Goma on their terms, and forcing Congolese into negotiations. It is only a matter of time before they finalise their plans of taking the two Kivus provinces. And this won't be long.
What are the options available to Congolese people?
  • Charles Onana, while launching his recent book "Europe, Crimes et Censure au Congo" on November 29th, 2012, strongly invited Congolese to mobilise, mobilise and mobilise for their country; nobody will defend it better than themselves
  • As this was to be for Rwandan political parties which wrongly saw in Kagame's RPF a better future for their country; Congolese politicians who see in negotiating with M23 a peaceful solution of DRC crisis they are fooling themselves. The Congolese nation needs to wake up and stand firm to the devilish ambitions of Paul Kagame and Joweri Museveni over their country. They need to read closely the Rwandan pre-genocide period and their own experience with the two leaders since 1996. If they cannot get any lesson out of such telling case studies, they are as culprits as M23 and its sponsors in the face of the Congolese population.
  • For the last 16 years, Eastern Congo [North and South Kivu provinces] has presumably benefited Rwanda significantly. In a recent interview with Aljezeera, Ambassador Cohen sarcastically said the Kivus belonged economically to Rwanda. If Congolese want to prove wrong anyone who think like that personality, and there are plenty who would want to see DRC falling into pieces for them to collect easily, they have to be ready to make a lot of sacrifices and keep their nation together as one.
  • While Paul Kagame has been weakened by the revelations of his involvement with M23 by the UN Group of Experts reports, he is not finished since despite his star fading, he has managed to get Kabila government agreeing to negotiate with M23. And this was his primary objective. Like in previous scenarios of occupying parts of DRC, he expects to keep hold of his preferred Kivus. In order not to continue experiencing this humiliating imposed situation, DRC popular patriotic forces need to force Joseph Kabila and all his political allies to resign even by a public uprising and outrage for him selling out to the enemies of the Congolese nation.
However, for this final option, patriotic Congolese will have to be very vigilant as according to the political analyst Jean-Pierre Mbelu M23 has many ramifications in Congolese administrative structures.
"M23 is everywhere in Congo, because M23 is CNDP whose members are found today in Goma, Kananga, Lubumbashi, Kitona, even in Kinshasa. They are everywhere. M23 is a full member of the Alliance for the Presidential Majority. Ties they forged were never officially broken."

-“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 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
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.

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.
