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] New York Times - 9 hours ago: Why Are Rwandans Disappearing?

 

Why Are Rwandans Disappearing?

New York Times - 9 hours ago

[...] and based in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Traveling to
Congo on business or to visit relatives could be enough to cause a
person to fall under suspicion, according to anecdotes in the report.
The State Department expressed concern and urged a return to "due
process of law." But President Paul Kagame remained defiant
, saying at a recent state function: "We will continue to arrest more
suspects and if possible shoot in broad daylight those who intend to
destabilize our country."

To observers with years of experience in the country, Mr. Kagame's
stance is no surprise. American censure, on the other hand, comes as a
breath of fresh air.

The "genocide guilt card" has been played expertly from Mr. Kagame on
down. Nearly $800 million flows into Rwandan government coffers every
year from foreign donors still haunted by images of discarded machetes
released after the genocide of half a million people 20 years ago. Mr.
Kagame continues to be regularly celebrated at American universities
and black-tie events in Aspen and Davos, where he is presented as a
visionary committed to radical economic modernity.

To be fair, some progress has been made. Rwanda's gross domestic
product has grown since 2001 at an estimated annual rate of 7 percent.
Literacy rates have soared, while fertility rates have plummeted.
Alone in the Great Lakes region of Africa, the country has a national
health care policy that provides coverage for less than $100 per
person per year. Once a dusty, garbage-strewn city, Kigali is now a
bustling metropolis with soaring glass buildings separated by vast
stretches of manicured grass.

But as the report by Human Rights Watch makes clear, something
unsettling is happening beneath this shiny surface.

In January, the BBC reported that Mr. Kagame's former intelligence
chief Patrick Karegeya, who had fled to South Africa and was advising
intelligence officials there, was found strangled in Johannesburg. The
brazen murder led to the expulsion of three Rwandan diplomats from
South Africa. Mr. Kagame officially denied involvement, but the BBC
reported that he remarked soon afterward at a prayer meeting, "You
can't betray Rwanda and not get punished for it."

Among foreign aid workers, the level of fear is so high that no one
dares to talk about the government in public. "We call it the 24/20
rule," a health expert said in an interview in Kigali in April. "You
say something wrong and you get 24 hours to leave the country with 20
kilos worth of stuff." The political activist Paul Rusesabagina, who
saved the lives of at least 1,200 people during the genocide,
providing the inspiration for the film "Hotel Rwanda," said in a phone
interview: "It's like this government is swallowing people who
disagree."

In the 20 years since the genocide, Mr. Kagame and the governing
Rwandan Patriotic Front have built an excellent public relations
machinery portraying the ruling Tutsi elite as the "good guys" who put
an end to the genocide and the faceless Hutu masses as the "bad guys"
who did the bulk of the killing. But research conducted by numerous
respected scholars, among them Timothy Longman at Boston University
and Brian Endless at the University of Chicago, shows that Rwandans of
all ethnicities were caught up in the violence. Human rights groups
have found that the R.P.F. killed many Rwandans before, during and
after the 1994 genocide.

Many Rwanda scholars share the conviction that the R.P.F.'s
disinformation campaign predates the genocide, and that its first
public relations coup came on the night of April 6, 1994, when the
plane carrying President Juvénal Habyarimana was shot down over
Kigali, triggering the massacre.

At the time, suspicion fell on the R.P.F. The former chief of the
Rwandan Army under Mr. Kagame, Kayumba Nyamwasa, who is currently in
exile in South Africa, said in a telephone interview that Mr. Kagame's
order to shoot down the plane was "an open secret" known to "everyone
who was in the army at the time." In the space of 90 days, however,
that assumption was replaced with a conspiracy theory laying the blame
with Hutu extremists determined to get the genocide underway.

The result is that the distortion has become the truth. Only the
French, who had their own troubled history of interference in Rwanda,
have formally accused Mr. Kagame of shooting down Mr. Habyarimana's
plane. Americans, both in government and in the reception lines at
events where Mr. Kagame speaks, have been keen to support a government
that claims to represent the victims of the genocide, without
realizing that no alternative narrative has been allowed to emerge,
creating a vacuum in which Rwandan citizens are now demonstrably at
risk.

"A few unidentified individuals have been released" since the Human
Rights Watch report, said Carina Tertsakian, a researcher for the
rights organization. But for any genuine change to occur in a
dictatorship as entrenched as Rwanda's has proved to be, donors will
have to apply strong and sustained pressure. The United States alone
provides over $200 million in bilateral aid a year. It should make
every penny conditional on receiving an accounting of every person who
has been detained, apprehended or otherwise disappeared, and insist on
confirmation by local and international monitoring groups. Until that
happens, Rwandans just don't know who may be next.

-“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
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.
