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.

Tribute to Patrick Karegaya 1960-2013

8 January 2014 , By Catherine Bond, Source: The Star

A man of two nationalities, held three times effectively a political
prisoner, Patrick Karegaya's exciting but unsettled life embodied many
of the experiences of his generation of East Africa's Tutsi.

His national identities - Rwandan and Ugandan - straddling a colonial
border, like so many of his peers, Karegaya was comfortable in both.
Karegaya was born on February 12, 1960, when Uganda was still a
British colony.

As a child, he would return from school to find his home had moved on
from where it had been that morning, his parents well-to-do,
Kinyarwanda-speaking pastoralists who grazed their cattle along
Uganda's frontier with Rwanda. Rich in offspring as well as cows, he
was their fourth of 12 children.

Although not born a refugee, later in life, ironically Karegaya would
become one. From his itinerant upbringing, he went on to secondary
school in Kampala, the Ugandan capital, before studying law at
Makerere University, his career taking a similar path to that of the
tens of thousands of Rwandan Tutsi children who had been raised in
exile, and brought up like him in President Idi Amin's Uganda.

Following the 1979 fall of Amin, Karegaya was suspected of
sympathising with Uganda's current president, Yoweri Museveni, who had
started a rebel army inside Uganda in 1981. As a result, he spent
three years in a maximum security prison under Uganda's then
president, Milton Obote.

In 1986, after Museveni came to power, Karegaya worked at Uganda's
military intelligence headquarters with Paul Kagame, Rwanda's
president, then his colleague and friend. Known for his outgoing
nature and humorous turn of phrase, Karegaya was the perfect foil to
the more stern Kagame, whose leadership in Rwanda would determine his
fate.

In 1990, the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) movement Kagame and others
had joined to make a bid to return to their land of their forefathers
invaded Rwanda from Uganda.

Kagame rushed back from a military training course in the United
States to lead it. Karegaya remained placed in Ugandan intelligence
for the duration of the civil war, providing Kagame with close advice
and support.

As such, he was a confidante, a keeper of Kagame's secrets, part of
the institutional memory of the RPF, now steadily being erased as
member of his generation are shifted aside in Rwanda's power
structure.

When the RPF took power in mid-1994, bringing to an end the genocide
of around 800,000 minority Tutsi and Hutu moderates, Karegaya left
Uganda to be appointed head of Rwanda's civil intelligence.

He was in charge of external affairs, a post he held for 10 years,
most notably during the chasing of Hutu refugees - some undeniably
involved in the genocide, others not - across the Democratic Republic
of the Congo in 1996, a military campaign that led to tens of
thousands of deaths.

A Rwandan blogger has said he believed Karegaya had 'essentially been
forgiven by many victims before his death'. Though not accused of war
crimes, Karegaya is named in the 2008 indictment of 40 former Rwandan
military officers by a Spanish judge, as the man heading the Rwandan
government office at the receiving end of US$800,000 worth of
stockpiled minerals exported to Rwanda from the Congo for six months
between 1998 and 1999.

According to Karegaya's friends, internal tensions caused by the
involvement of the Rwandan army in the Congo, contributed to his final
fallout with Kagame in 2003, as well as his blunt criticisms of
Kagame's leadership - in 2000, Kagame had risen to become not just
Rwanda's military leader, but the country's president.

In 2005, Kagame had the gregarious Karegaya held in solitary
confinement in an unofficial lock-up in a disused factory west of
Kigali, the Rwandan capital, for six months. On his release, he is
said to have been asked to apologise to Kagame, to 'prostrate himself'
before him.

Karegaya refused. Accused of committing a petty offence, he was
charged with 'insubordination', receiving an 18-month prison sentence.
A week after his release in November 2007, believing his life under
threat, he escaped house arrest in Rwanda, fleeing first to Tanzania
and then South Africa.

Openly unable to guarantee their safety, South Africa granted
Karegaya, and later, Nyamwasa Kayumba, Rwanda's former Army Chief of
Staff, asylum. Together with two Rwandans already in exile in the
United States - Gerald Gahima, Rwanda's former Prosecutor General, and
his brother, Theogene Rudasingwa, a former Ambassador to Washington -
they launched an opposition movement.

Their 2010 briefing paper accuses Kagame of responsibility for war
crimes and crimes against humanity, as well as of running a
repressive, minority regime.

In response, a Rwandan military court sentenced them in absentia to
between 20 and 25 years imprisonment each. Kagame later rebuffed the
accusations of autocracy, calling Karegaya and Kayumba 'selfish' and
'dishonest'.

Despite the adventures of his long career in intelligence, Karegaya
was at heart a man dependent on the company of his family and
outsiders, including foreign journalists whose friendship he sought.

He was found dead, apparently strangled, on New Year's Day in a
luxurious Johannesburg hotel after going to meet a Rwandan businessman
and family friend he believed supportive of the small, exiled
opposition movement he helped found. To that movement, he was
irreplaceable.

His death violently silenced a man whose spirit had until then
remained stubbornly unbroken and unbowed. Karegaya is outlived by his
three children, to whom he was close and who were the first to notice
his abrupt silence from afar, as well as his wife, Leah, and his
elderly mother.

Patrick Karegaya: born February 12, 1960, died December 31, 2013

-“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.

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.
