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] CANADA'S REFUSAL TO ALLOW UGANDAN LGBT ACTIVISTS INTO THE COUNTRY SPEAKS TO A WIDER HYPOCRISY

 

CANADA'S REFUSAL TO ALLOW UGANDAN LGBT ACTIVISTS INTO THE COUNTRY
SPEAKS TO A WIDER HYPOCRISY

By Muna Mire May 29 2014

A contingent of Ugandan LGBT activists were recently denied visitor
visas to attend World Pride 2014, which will be held in Toronto this
summer. The move comes as a surprise given the Canadian government's
strong, condemnatory stance on Uganda's repressive regime
criminalizing homosexuality.

The contingent of activists comprised of ten men and women who are all
currently risking their lives in the fight for LGBT rights on the
ground in Uganda—were invited to a human rights conference at the
University of Toronto taking place June 25-27. Just one member of the
contingent, keynote speaker Dr. Frank Mugisha, a highly prominent
advocate and a 2014 nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize, is able to come
to Canada on a multiple-entry visa he had been issued for previous
travels.

Brenda Cossman, conference co-chair, told the Toronto Star that it
remains critical to the global solidarity movement that the contingent
be able to attend the World Pride human rights conference. The
conference wants to hear from the delegation so that effective
allyship is possible from abroad.

"We are at risk of losing their voices," said Cossman.

Dr. Mugisha is a lawyer and the executive director of Sexual
Minorities Uganda (SMUG), an umbrella NGO that describes itself as
aiming "to liberate LGBT in Uganda." SMUG is a network of
organizations serving LGBT people across Uganda that came about in
2004, including smaller organizations like Icebreakers Uganda (serves
LGBT Ugandans who are in the process of coming out), Spectrum Uganda
(focuses on the health and well being of LGBT Ugandans), and the
Transgender Initiative Uganda.

Mugisha was close friends and colleagues with the former advocacy
officer at SMUG, David Kato. Kato, considered a father of the Ugandan
LGBT rights movement and "Uganda's first openly gay man" was murdered
in January 2011 shortly after successfully suing a tabloid for
publishing the names, photos, and addresses of 100 suspected LGBT
Ugandans with the order to "hang them." Several people on the list
were viciously attacked, and many went into hiding afterwards.

Mugisha is himself the plaintiff in a lawsuit brought by SMUG and
supported by the Centre for Constitutional Rights, against American
evangelical Scott Lively and Abiding Truth Ministries (considered a
hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center) for his work on the
Anti-Homosexuality Act and in cultivating a culture of homophobic
populism in Uganda. Lively has personally endorsed the death penalty
for LGBT individuals.

What's worse, The Fellowship Foundation or "The Family"—the same US
religious group that organizes the National Prayer Breakfast at the
White House—also provided "a base of inspiration and technical
support" for the Anti-Homosexuality legislation in Uganda.

Since the bill was signed into law in February 2014, SMUG reports that
anti-gay attacks have increased ten-fold, including lynchings, mob
violence, evictions, arson, blackmail, firings, and arrests. Within
days of the legislation going into effect, another list of 200 alleged
homosexuals was printed in a newspaper. Dr. Mugisha's name was on it.

Uganda has made life hell for LGBT people.

John Baird, Canada's foreign minister, took a strong stance against
the legislation in February, antagonizing Ugandan politicians who
frame their virulent legislation as anti-colonial. "This act is a
serious setback for human rights, dignity and fundamental freedoms,
and deserves to be widely condemned," he said at the time, "Canada
will speak out."

Baird went on to invoke the legacy of David Kato, who was bludgeoned
to death with a hammer in his own Ugandan home.

Why, then, has Canada denied 9/10 visas to a contingent that includes
Kato's friends and colleagues, who are currently fighting for LGBT
rights on the ground in Uganda? The hypocrisy is stunning. The
applications were rejected due to a combination of reasons. It appears
the government is concerned the ten would seek asylum in Canada, a
worry that is deeply disappointing, especially in light of Baird's
comments. Other official reasons for their refusal into Canada
include: lack of previous travel history, lack of family ties in
Canada (really?), andinsufficient funds for the trip. Read: too poor.

Hardcore evangelical Americans are not alone in providing material
support for the Anti-Homosexuality Act on the ground. Previously,
Ottawa provided nearly half a million dollars in funding to an
anti-gay religious group to do development work in Uganda. When taken
with the backstory of Canada quietly bankrolling groups that support
homophobic legislation and denying visas to LGBT Ugandans, Minister
Baird's condemnations of Uganda carry little weight. For that matter,
so do President Obama's. Until Western governments admit their
complicity in both colonialism and in fueling supposedly anti-colonial
homophobic populism, indictments of Uganda ring hollow.

In a piece recently written for the Guardian, Mugisha explains the
paradox succinctly, "I want my fellow Ugandans to understand that
homosexuality is not a western import and our friends in the developed
world to recognise that the current trend of homophobia is."

VICE reached out to Baird's office for comment and was referred
instead to Minister Chris Alexander's office at Citizenship and
Immigration which is currently working with MP Craig Scott to try to
expedite the reapplication process and reverse the decision:

"Our Conservative government was among the first to speak out against
state-sponsored homophobia in Russia. We welcome resettled gay
refugees from Iran and around the world. We have led the international
response to repression of the LGBT community in Uganda and elsewhere
in Africa. Citizenship and Immigration Canada will continue to do
everything it can, under our immigration laws, to make this conference
a success. Under Canadian law, decisions on individual visa
applications are made by highly-trained public servants," a
spokesperson said.

MP Craig Scott has said he expects "the right thing" to be done in the
end. With the conference set for the end of June, the clock is ticking
to process the applications which will be resubmitted this week,
according to Cossman. It seems, however, that the story of Canada's
role in supporting (or undermining) LGBT rights in Uganda goes beyond
issuing ten temporary visas—and that's a larger conversation we
haven't had yet.

-“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.
