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.

[RwandaLibre] Sunday Independent: The broken pledge of 'never again'

 

The broken pledge of 'never again'

Barry Egan recalls the scenes of utter horror he witnessed in Rwanda
after the genocide there 20 years ago

A Rwandan refugee girl stares at a mass grave where dozens of bodies
have been laid to rest in this July 20, 1994 file photo. April 7, 2014
marks the 20th anniversary of the Rwanda genocide which killed 800,000
people.

BARRY EGAN - PUBLISHED 13 APRIL 2014 02:30 AM

Last Monday was the 20th anniversary of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.
It was an almost methodical attempt to wipe out the country's Tutsi
minority over a hundred days of hell. Hutu death squads using machetes
slaughtered into bloody oblivion almost a million innocents.

After the Second World War, the international community made a solemn
promise that there would never be another genocide like the Nazi mass
killings of Jews.

That promise was broken in Africa 20 years ago.

Entitled To hell and back: How nations torn apart by atrocity or civil
war can stitch themselves together again, a piece in the current
Economist magazine put the past horror in context: "Working by hand
rather than with the industrial methods that the Nazis used to kill
Jews, and at more than three times the speed of the Holocaust,
militias known as Interahamwe from the ethnic Hutu majority, and
others, slaughtered at least 800,000 Tutsis (and Hutu moderates) to
remove them from shared land."

The mass murder in Rwanda, some say, ended the illusion that the evil
of genocide had been eradicated in the world after the Second World
War. The West did nothing to intervene and the bloodbath remains on
the conscience of the world. In hindsight, much of the bloodshed could
have been avoided.

Knowing that the Hutus were on their way to Mugonero, seven Adventist
pastors wrote a letter to their superior Elizaphan Ntakirutimana ,
president of the Adventist Church in Kibuyu, pleading for outside
help.

"We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our
families," they wrote.

The reply they received from the head of the church in Kibuyu was
chilling and prophetic: "Your problem has already found a solution.
You must die."

A survivor of the massacre in Mugonero had another version of the
pastor's letter: "You must be eliminated. God no longer wants you."

When the Hutu death squads descended through the church doors, the
Tutsis thought God would somehow protect them. Almost everyone in
their path caught a glimpse of hell instead that April day 20 years
ago.

Some 2000 Tutsi men, women and children were massacred by Hutu thugs
in a church at Mugonero which they believed would be a sanctuary.
Crying children, hiding in confessional boxes, were murdered for
sport.

I was in Rwanda in 1994 for the Sunday Independent a month after the
genocide happened. I saw the price of the West doing nothing.

On my first day in Goma in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the
Congo) - where the Tutsi refugees had fled - I played football with
some kids in a UN camp. It wasn't like any ordinary football game.
There would be up to 40 excited kids on each team at a time.

I'll never forget seeing a teenage boy with no feet, just stumps,
sitting watching the kids his age playing football in the dirt. You
couldn't help but marvel at the relentless spirit

of these young children who had lost everything. The barbarism they
had encountered first hand would haunt them for the rest of their
lives. Yet all that some of them wanted to know was how

Manchester United were doing that season in the league.

But they had their football stories to tell - the day the Tutsi
football team's bus was stopped by Hutu soldiers at gunpoint. The
Tutsi players watched as their team captain was beheaded in front of
them. They were then forced at gunpoint to kick his head around in the
dirt. Once this little game was over, the Hutus applied their machetes
to the footballers' feet.

There was also the horrific story of the 20 Belgian soldiers working
for the UN who were captured by Hutu militia. One by one, they were
tortured, mutilated and murdered. They were found with their genitals
stuffed into their mouths. After a while, these stories ceased to
shock you. I heard a dozen or so stories like this on my first day in
Goma.

Decades ago, it was said that Tutsi children were known for their
beautiful height. There was a racist myth, put about by the well-fed
Hutu propaganda machine to incite further hatred, that when the Tutsis
were in power, they would only allow children of certain height attend
schools. This was supposedly the reason the Hutus cut off the feet of
so many Tutsi children.

On my second day there, I watched as a Tutsi woman, who had been
caught in a bomb explosion, had her leg amputated in a makeshift
operating theatre on the banks of

Lake Kivu.

In all of this darkening nightmare, two young Irish lads, Tom Boyce
and Paul Keys from Goal (with whom I was there in Rwanda for 10 days),
were piling the corpses, one by one, on to the back of a truck. Tom
and Paul were probably two of the most inspirational people I've ever
met in my life. All day, every day, in their GAA jerseys, they would
pick up dead bodies and put them on the back of a truck.

"There was a cholera epidemic in the camps and 40,000 people had died,"

John O'Shea told me when I met him in Dublin in 2008. "Tom and Paul
had to pick the dead bodies up quick so the cholera wouldn't spread.
They had to pick the dead bodies up like rugby balls and fling them on
the back of lorries."

Dead bodies, dying humans and motherless babies so malnourished that
their eyes seemed to bulge out of their sockets. Some of the babies
would be dead the next morning when you went back to see them. The
babies who survived cried ceaselessly for their murdered parents.

The babies were so tiny and light that when you picked them up in your
arms you could hardly feel them. The older ones, still little and
helpless, sat listless in groups. Their eyes would light up when the
Goal workers came in, smiled and cuddled them.

I couldn't believe my eyes at times. Arriving on the first day, most
of us probably felt some fragment of the emotion which the 99th
Infantry

Division felt entering the Dachau camp in May 1945.

In the Zaire camps run by UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees), the brutes who had murdered at will were fed at the feeding
stations as were the relatives of those whom they had butchered. It
was insane to watch them standing there, faces lacking any remorse.

Beside them were the spiritless creatures whose lives they had ruined,
ghostly human beings, weak and ill, their clothes dirty and tattered,
their faces etched with a pure hopelessness. Their eyes seemed empty
when you caught their glance.

You could smell death in the air, and see the corpses everywhere. The
ditches and latrines were over-burdened with the fetid, decomposing
corpses of those deemed to be enemies of the Hutus. Each person's
story was more horrific than the last.

"The Interahamwe made a habit of killing young Tutsi children in front
of their parents, by first cutting off one arm, then the other," a UN
official in Rwanda said of the Hutu militia.

"They would then gash the neck with a machete to bleed the child
slowly to death but, while they were still alive, they would cut off
the private parts and throw them at the faces of the terrified parents
who would then be murdered with slightly greater dispatch."

The stories of what went on a month earlier couldn't but turn your
stomach. It made you lose your faith in human beings, or humanity, or
God, or anything that was supposed to be good about life or the world.

Asked whether what he had seen in Rwanda had shaken his faith in God,
a French priest replied: "Absolutely not. But what happened in this
country has destroyed my faith in mankind forever."

How these people were ever going to be able to forgive their
neighbours for what they did to them seemed impossible. But it appears
to be happening slowly in Rwanda (a country described by the Global
Corruption Barometer recently as now "the least corrupt country in
sub-Saharan Africa" - with its capital Kigali one of the safest cities
in Africa.)

Last Sunday, I read an extraordinary piece about reconciliation in Rwanda in

The New York Times magazine. With portraits of the living victims
beside their perpetrators, the stories told were inspiring because
they were about the power of forgiveness and truth.

Godefroid Mudaheranwa, said of Evasta Mukanyandwi: "I burned her
house. I attacked her in order to kill her and her children, but God
protected them, and they escaped. When I was released from jail, if I
saw her, I would run and hide. I decided to ask her for forgiveness.
To have good relationships with the person to whom you did evil deeds
- we thank God."

Evasta said: "I used to hate him. When he came to my house and knelt
down before me and asked for forgiveness, I was moved by his
sincerity. Now, if I cry for help, he comes to rescue me. When I face
any issue, I call him."

"When someone is full of anger, he can lose his mind," said Karorero,
another survivor of the genocide. "But when I granted forgiveness, I
felt my mind at rest."

-“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.
