Ex-Rwandan spy chief killing alights allegations
LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — The killing of Rwanda's former spy chief in
South Africa has critics revisiting serious allegations against
Western-backed President Paul Kagame that go back to the Central
African nation's 1994 genocide.
Former Col. Patrick Karegeya, a wartime ally from Kagame's days as a
rebel leader, was found dead last week in a bed in Johannesburg's
prestigious Michelangelo Towers hotel. Police said he was possibly
strangled.
Karegeya's friends and fellow dissidents accused Kagame of ordering
the assassination, pointing to a pattern of alleged killings of his
opponents at home and abroad. Karegeya fled to South Africa in 2007.
Officials in Kigali, the Rwandan capital, have not responded to
requests for comment. But the Rwandan high commissioner in South
Africa, Vincent Karega, told local broadcaster eNCA that talk of
assassination is an "emotional reaction and opportunistic way of
playing politics."
South African police say they are investigating the case but no
arrests have been made.
The killing comes five months after Karegeya claimed to have
incriminating evidence that would prove Kagame, who is lauded by
Western leaders for ending Rwanda's genocide, actually provided the
catalyst for the mass killings.
In a July interview with Radio France International, Karegeya charged
that Kagame ordered the downing of a jet that killed the Hutu
presidents of Rwanda and neighboring Burundi, the event that triggered
the genocide in which some 800,000 Tutsis and some moderate Hutus were
killed over three months.
Karegeya said on RFI that he was willing to hand his evidence to a
court in France that is investigating because the plane's pilots were
French.
A long-suppressed U.N. report published in 2010 noted that Kagame in
1994 refused to have peace talks as thousands of mainly Tutsi Rwandans
were being killed, buying the time that allowed his forces to reach
Kigali and take control.
It accused Kagame's Rwandan Patriotic Front of then going on to
massacre Hutus in Rwanda, including at Kibeho refugee camp in April
1995 before the eyes of Australian and Zambian U.N. peacekeepers, an
attack allegedly led by Karegeya.
The same report, which carried a lengthy denial from Kagame's
government, accused the Rwandan-led forces of "a possible genocide" of
Rwandan and Congolese Hutus in eastern Congo in the mid-1990s.
Rwandan experts have said the U.N. failure to publish an earlier 1994
report on RPF massacres gave Kagame a blank check to continue the
killings.
Defense lawyers at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, the
court for perpetrators of the genocide based in Tanzania, long have
contended that the court has provided "victor's justice" by ignoring
massacres by Kagame's forces.
Kagame is feted by current and former U.S. and British leaders who
point to how he has transformed an impoverished and war-ravaged nation
into an efficient technology hub with some of the highest rates for
literacy and health in Africa. That has come at the cost of a
dictatorship that ruthlessly suppresses opposition and routinely
jails, disappears and kills opponents, according to critics.
Analysts say the West panders to Kagame because of its great guilt
over not ending the Rwandan genocide. And Kagame, who blames French
troops that allowed perpetrators of the genocide to escape into Congo,
played to British and American interests in diluting French influence
in Central Africa when he changed Rwanda's official language from
French to English. That put Tutsi exiles who grew up in
English-speaking Tanzania and Uganda at a great advantage over
French-speaking Hutus. Rwanda's other official language is
Kinyarwanda.
Initial opposition to Kagame came, predictably, from members of the
Hutu tribe, but in recent years it has come increasingly from former
Tutsi allies like Karegeya and others who fear the brutal suppression
of Rwanda's majority people, the Hutu, might lead to another genocide.
About 85 percent of Rwandans are Hutu who were held in serfdom by
Tutsi royalty in the 18th century. After World War I Rwanda fell to
Belgian colonizers who entrenched divisions by ruling through the
Tutsi monarch and educating only Tutsi males. Hutus who revolted had
limbs amputated by Tutsis, on the order of the Belgians.
When independence and free elections came in 1961, they were won by
Hutus. The first Tutsi attempt to regain power came a year later, with
an invasion from Burundi. The Hutu government responded with brutal
reprisals against Tutsi civilians.
Under Kagame, Hutu politicians have been killed or jailed in Rwanda.
Journalists and judges also have been killed and imprisoned with the
most fatal year being 2010, when Kagame was re-elected in polls that
human rights activists called greatly flawed.
Kagame, who says many of his enemies deny the genocide, recently has
taken to demanding that the children of Hutus apologize for the
genocide that occurred before they were born.
"Kagame is actually blowing the country in the path of another
genocide," said former Lt. Gen. Kayumba Nyamwasa. He was Kagame's army
chief of staff until 2010 and has survived two assassination attempts
that are the subject of a South African court case and that left him
with a bullet lodged in the base of his spine.

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.
