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.

Rwanda: No to Humiliation and Appeasement

Why France must resist and reject Kagame's dangerous diplomacy

By antagonizing and humiliating France, the Rwandan strongman seeks to
claim the status of a nationalist and pan-Africanist standing up to a
Western power. But this is absurd

In June 1994, as the Secretary General of the Rwandese Patriotic Front
(RPF) I led a delegation to meet France's then Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Alain Juppe. The objective of my delegation was to dissuade
the French Government from launching Operation Turquoise, the
peacekeeping operation that has been at the heart of the acrimonious
relationship between France and the RPF regime under Paul Kagame since
then. I went back unsuccessful and disappointed. The stakes were high.

Before then, RPF had dispatched its senior leaders, Gerald Gahima and
Claude Dusaidi, to New York and Washington DC to dissuade the United
Nations and the United States from launching any peacekeeping
operations in Rwanda.

The RPF's double-pronged strategy in France and United States was
derived from two mutually re-enforcing fears and considerations.
First, because RPF was inherently an organization of Tutsi exiles, it
considered France a hostile nation because of its close relationship
with the then Government of Rwanda under President Juvenal
Habyarimana, a Hutu. In fact, popular perception in the rank and file
of the RPF was that the French, and the Belgians before them, were
pro-Hutu. The twists and turns of history are such that in post-1994
Rwanda, popular opinion within the Hutu and Tutsi communities is that
Americans and the British are pro-Tutsi. Second, by ordering the
shooting down of the plane carrying President Juvenal Habyarimana,
Kagame simultaneously derailed the Arusha Peace Agreement and
triggered the genocide and massacres of 1994 in which Tutsi and Hutu
were victims.

For RPF, a French-led or any United Nations peacekeeping operation was
perceived as a threat to its push for outright military victory. When
Alain Juppe told our delegation that the French-led operation was to
save Tutsi, Kagame instructed me to respond that 'all the Tutsi who
were to die have died anyway, and there are no more to save'. This
became the standard mobilizing theme and response in Washington DC and
New York,

In essence, it is this callous, cold and calculating consideration for
General Paul Kagame and his RPF's quest for power at any price that
has brought France-Rwanda relations to a new and dangerous crisis
point. When the French investigating magistrate, Jean-Louis Bruguiere,
indicted President Paul Kagame and other RPA military officers for the
assassination of President Juvenal Habyarimana and his Burundian
counterpart, Cyprien Ntaryamira, RPF was up in arms. To Kagame and the
RPF, this was considered to be further proof that France was
anti-Tutsi, anti-RPF and most importantly, anti-Kagame. The marching
orders to all of us who worked in the system was to fight the French
everywhere and by all means possible, including lies, deceptions and
denials.

Can the bitter relationship between France and Rwanda be repaired
under Paul Kagame's regime? The response to that is an absolute no.

First, Kagame and the RPF's hold on to power survives and thrives on a
narrative that perpetuates falsehoods calculated to make France and
the international community guilty. In this narrative, the French are
the bad guys who assisted the other bad guys, the Hutu, to commit
genocide; and that the international community failed to prevent and
stop the genocide against Tutsi, who were saved by Kagame and the RPF.
This narrative is deliberately silent on Kagame's role in the
assassination of President Habyarimana, which triggered the genocide.
Despite mistakes in France's and international policies and actions
towards Rwanda at the time, RPF's narrative denies the fact that
Operation Turquoise saved some Tutsi and Hutu. This false narrative is
Kagame's and RPF's addictive and life-giving magic bullet. With it aid
money flows, and questions about human rights, democracy and
accountability are taboo. Without it, the regime would cease to be.

Second, Kagame and the RPF need a contest with a big power like France
to bolster its stand domestically and internationally. Domestically,
the RPF regime has never had any legitimacy among the Hutu. Kagame
claims to be the sole hero and saviour of the Tutsi. Currently, what
used to look like a homogenous Tutsi community held together by fear
under Kagame's iron hand is crumbling fast. He needs France as a
powerful enemy against which he can mobilize the fearful Tutsi and a
marginalized Hutu population.

Third, there is also an opportunistic dimension to Kagame's
anti-France stand. Since 1994, the decline of French influence in
Rwanda has witnessed a disproportionate rise of Anglo-American
influence in the tiny Republic. The Anglo-American-Rwanda love
triangle may be seen as a compassionate one, based on benevolent
giants' altruistic urge to help Rwanda the victim. London and
Washington do not see it that way. Rwanda sits at the interface of the
Great Lakes and the Horn of Africa, regions in which the United States
and the United Kingdom have deep geo-strategic, economic and security
interests. By Kagame appearing to be anti-France, and abiding in both
overt and covert missions, there are some Anglo-American cheers and
cheerleaders. The fact that Tony Blair and Bill Clinton are Kagame's
principal global promoters is no accident.

Last but not least, by antagonizing and humiliating France, Kagame
seeks to claim the status of a nationalist and pan-Africanist standing
up to a Western power. This is an absurd claim, since he is a
sectarian bully who dominates the nation through coercive means. He
destabilizes the region though direct or proxy wars, especially in the
Democratic Republic of Congo, and is deeply dependent on Western aid.

Faced with a difficult past in Rwanda, and a consistently antagonistic
Kagame, France has tried all sorts of palliative treatment for a
deep-seated and chronic disease. A contrite President Nicolas Sarkozy
visited Rwanda in 2010. Kagame has been welcomed to France. What has
France received in return? Kagame and RPF have thrown out the French
language, condemning many generations of Rwandans to illiteracy;
taught a whole young generation of Rwandans to hate the French;
expelled a French Ambassador and condemned the current one to
obscurity; accused France of being an accomplice in the crime of
genocide; closed the French cultural center in Kigali; and,
deliberately seeks to divide the French people and their Government
though manipulation of guilt, denials and deceptions.

The Government and people of France must resist and reject Kagame's
and RPF's relentless onslaught on their dignity. No appeasement of
Kagame will ever be sufficient for him to change attitude, policy and
action towards France. Respectful, truthful and mutually beneficial
relations between France and Rwanda will only be possible after Kagame
and the RPF.

All the more reason why France should bring to conclusion the
investigation on the assassination of President Juvenal Habyarimana of
Rwanda and Cyprien Ntaryamira of Burundi. Kagame knows that this
investigation will be his Achilles heel. He has fought it, and will
continue to fight it, with all the means he has at his disposal.
France is paying the price for touching Kagame's raw nerve.

Ultimately, France's medium to long term interests will be best served
by being proactive in supporting the national democratic forces
seeking to create a just, free, peaceful, democratic and prosperous
Rwanda.

Dr. Theogene Rudasingwa is a former Secretary General of RPF,
Ambassador of Rwanda to the United States, and Chief of Staff to
President Paul Kagame.

-“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.

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.

· 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.

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

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.
