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.

[AfricaWatch] Examining foreign participation in official mourning event to mark 20th anniversary of the country's genocide

 

Examining foreign participation in official mourning event to mark 20th anniversary of the country's genocide
 
Only a small number of people  who regularly travel to Rwanda  to venerate Kagame are attending the official mourning to mark the 20th anniversary of the country's genocide. These  people are representatives of the countries which supported Kagame's war that  triggered the Rwandan genocide.  These are the countries that helped  Kagame to take power at any cost in order to meet these countries' strategic interests. Among these countries are the UK which has supported Kagame's brutal and dictatorial regime for the last 20 years mainly for British cultural, economic and political interests. It is well know that the UK has largely benefited politically and economically from the Rwanda's war and genocide. These long morning events are largely aimed to  mask Kagame' war crimes and crimes against humanity that he has committed for the last 20 years in Rwanda and DR Congo.
 
----------------------
World joins Rwanda in mourning Genocide victims
World leaders have descended on Kigali to join the people of Rwanda in remembering and honouring the more than a million compatriots killed during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
At least seven Heads of State and several statesmen and women from around the world  had arrived in the country by press time last evening ahead of today's main commemoration event at Amahoro National Stadium in Remera, Kigali, to be held under the theme "Remember, Unite, Renew".
Among the Presidents in town include Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya, Ali Bongo Ondimba of Gabon, Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta of Mali, Denis Sassou Nguesso of the Republic of Congo, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of Somalia, and Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn.
Other dignitaries who arrived yesterday include the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Burundi First Vice President Prosper Bazombaza, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Tanzanian former president Benjamin Mkapa, and Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, the Chairperson of the African Union Commission.
The US Ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, is leading the US delegation, which also includes Russell Feingold, the special representative for the African Great Lakes region and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Hundreds of delegates, including foreign political leaders, celebrities, scholars and activists are expected to attend the national commemoration ceremony, expected to be widely covered by the global media, with many international media organisations having sent in crews.
Notable absentee is France which pulled out of the commemorations at the last minute in protest of what they termed as Rwanda's renewed accusations of Paris' well documented involvement in the 1994 Genocide.
Former French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner, who will be attending the event, criticised his country's action describing it as "childish reaction".
The British delegation is led by Foreign Secretary William Hague, and also includes the Minister for Africa Mark Simmonds.
Expected to lead the Belgian delegation was the Deputy  Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders, and Jean-Pascal Labille, the Minister of Development Cooperation.
They were to be accompanied by, among others, the families of the ten Belgian paratroopers killed in Kigali on April 7, 1994, just hours after the shooting down of the plane that was carrying then Rwandan president Juvenal Habyarimana, which has since been blamed on extremists within his camp, to create the excuse for carrying out the genocide.
The Belgian UN peacekeepers were killed around the same time as then Prime Minister Agathe Uwilingiyimana, a moderate Hutu whom they were guarding, as genocide got underway in earnest.
Across Rwanda, citizens are expected to converge at venues in their respective villages (smallest administrative unit) to pay homage to Genocide victims.
At the stroke of noon today, the whole country will also observe a minute's silence in remembrance of Genocide victims.
President Paul Kagame's Genocide anniversary speech will also be broadcast on all TV and radio stations, and will be followed by citizens meeting in their villages.
The national flag and indeed flags of other countries represented in Rwanda will also be lowered to half-mast throughout the official mourning week.
A three-month nationwide tour of the Kwibuka (Remembrance) Flame is among the activities carried out in the build-up to the 20th Genocide anniversary.
The Flame, which was lit on January 7 and made its final stop on Saturday – at the Integrated Polytechnic Regional Centre Kigali (former ETO Kicukiro) in Kicukiro District –, officially marking completion of its tour of all the 30 districts, will be returned to the Kigali Memorial Centre this morning ahead of the start of today's ceremonies.
Today's commemoration events will start with the lighting of the National Flame of Mourning at the Kigali Memorial Centre by President Kagame and the First Lady, Jeannette Kagame. The flame will last for 100 days, equal to the number of days the Genocide lasted.
While officially the national mourning will last for a week, commemoration activities will go on for three months – through July 4, the day when the Rwanda Patriotic Army (RPA), the armed wing of the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) took Kigali and stopped the killings.
President Kagame and the First Lady will also lay wreaths at the memorial, home to the remains of at least 250,000 Genocide victims. Also to pay their respects at the memorial are the visiting Heads of State.
Besides President Kagame, others expected to speak at the main commemoration event at Amaharo stadium include Ban Ki-moon and President Museveni.
In 1994, the UN significantly downsized its peacekeeping mission, paving the way for widespread killings, especially around Kigali where Unamir soldiers were based.
A National 'Walk to Remember' is also scheduled to take place later this afternoon led by President Kagame.
The march, expected to attract many youths, will start from the Parliamentary Buildings in Kimihurura and end at Amahoro National Stadium, where a national vigil will subsequently begin.
Similar walks will take place in other countries around the world, with the involvement of Rwandans in the Diaspora, as a show of solidarity with Rwanda and in remembrance of Genocide victims.
The UN set aside April 7 as the day of the Remembrance of the victims of the Genocide against the Tutsi.

    The list of foreign delegations is nothing new. As you can see the people who participate in these celebrations are the people who have been regularly travelling to Rwanda each year for the last 20 years. I am rather surprised that the list of foreign representatives is not what we could expect despite that the propaganda and preparations of the morning have already lasted more than three months . France is right not to participate in these political commemorations. Kagame must understand that arbitrary and unfounded accusations against France cannot contribute to move forward on relations between France and Rwanda. France was the only power that came to Rwanda and protect Rwandans while the countries participating in the commemoration were not interested in helping Rwandan people , but some countries including the United States, Uganda and the United Kingdom supported the rebellion of Kagame that sparked and fuelled the massacres in Rwanda . These are the representatives of those countries that are attending the morning event who are at the same time Kagame’s friends and allies.

-“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.

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.
