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.

Uganda's Foreign Minister to get top UN post

London - 2 June 2014

Uganda's Foreign Minister to get top UN post

Accused of supporting anti-gay law, corruption & political repression.
Bid to stop him becoming President of UN General Assembly

Uganda's Foreign Minister Sam Kutesa is set to become President of the
UN General Assembly on 17 June.

"A close ally of the Ugandan President, Yoweri Museveni, Sam Kutesa is
accused of support for the new anti-gay law, financial corruption,
political repression and military intervention in the Congo," said
Peter Tatchell, Director of the human rights organisation, the Peter
Tatchell Foundation.

"As a senior government minister, he has colluded with enactment of
the Anti-Homosexuality Act, which dictates automatic life imprisonment
for any form of same-sex contact with sexual intent - even mere
kissing and cuddling.

"His government is harbouring the leader of the M23 rebel group,
Sultani Makenga, who is on a UN sanctions list. The Ugandan government
is refusing to hand over Makenga to the Congolese authorities or to
the International Criminal Court.

"It is outrageous that Kutesa has been nominated by the African Union.
He is not a fit and proper person to hold this prestigious UN post.

"David Cameron, William Hague and governments worldwide should be
lobbying the UN to block Kutesa's appointment on the grounds that his
political record is inconsistent with UN principles.

"Surprisingly, it appears that the UN High Commissioner for Human
Rights, Navi Pillay, has not, so far, objected to his appointment or
attempted to challenge it.

"I have written to the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, urging that
a decision on Kutesa's appointment be delayed until his suitability
for the presidency is assessed by the Office of the UN High
Commissioner for Human Rights.

"Looking to the future, the UN needs to put in place a proper scrutiny
procedure for all candidates for senior posts, to prevent corrupt
officials and human rights abusers being appointed," said Mr Tatchell.

Sam Kutesa accused of corruption & human rights abuses

Secretary General of the United Nations

23 May 2014

Dear Ban Ki-Moon,

Uganda Foreign Minister - Appointment as President of the UN General Assembly.

I am writing to urge you to take appropriate action to review and, if
possible, block the appointment of Sam Kutesa, the Ugandan Foreign
Minister, as President of the UN General Assembly - on the grounds
that he is not a fit and proper person to hold this prestigious post.
It is outrageous that he has been endorsed by the African Union.

As a senior member of the Ugandan government and close ally of the
President, Yoweri Museveni, Sam Kutesa is allegedly implicated in
corruption scandals, political repression, support for the new
anti-gay law, military intervention in the Congo and harbouring the
leader of the M23 rebel group, Sultani Makenga, who is on a UN
sanctions list. The Ugandan government is refusing to hand over
Makenga to the Congolese authorities or to the International Criminal
Court.

Below is a briefing about Kutesa by Ugandan exile, Milton Allimadi. I
am also copying this article into my cover email, so you can directly
access the embedded source links re the allegations against Kutesa.

I urge you to liaise with UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to
challenge and prevent Kutesa's appointment on the grounds that his
political record is inconsistent with UN principles on human rights,
peace and good governance.

Looking to the future, the UN needs to put in place a proper scrutiny
procedure for all candidates for senior posts, to prevent corrupt and
human rights-abusing candidates being appointed.

I request that you authorise the drawing up of a new scrutiny system
for senior UN appointments
Yours sincerely,

Peter Tatchell

Electing Kutesa, Museveni's Top Spokesperson, as UN General Assembly
President Would Reward Corruption, Tyranny And Homophobia

By Milton Allimadi, Black Star News. READ: http://bit.ly/1lFE2eK

Who says corruption, tyranny, presidential bigotry and homophobic
hate-mongering don't pay?

Unless the Global community wakes up immediately the Ugandan dictator
Gen. Yoweri Museveni who recently signed a new law condemning gays to
life in prison will be rewarded when the United Nations members elect
his top spokesperson, foreign minister Sam Kutesa, President of the UN
General Assembly.

The prestigious post based here in New York means Kutesa will preside
over major meetings including the General Assembly, which is addressed
by world leaders, including President Barack Obama.

This is an outrage considering how Kutesa's boss Gen. Museveni thumbed
his nose at world leaders including Obama when he signed the anti-gay
hate law in Uganda on February 24 and the continuing corruption
scandals and political repression in the country.

In addition to the anti-gay law Uganda earlier passed a law which bans
meetings of more than three people without obtaining police approval
which is designed to stifle dissent and legitimate political
opposition activity. The Stalinist sounding law in Gen. Museveni's
increasingly police state is referred to as the Public Order
Management law.

As foreign affairs minister Kutesa is Gen. Museveni's top spokesperson
to the world including on the bigoted anti-gay law and the Public
Order Management. When he signed the anti-gay law Kutesa's boss told
CNN gays were "disgusting" and said "what sort of people are they" and
"what they do are terrible."

Dictator Museveni's popularity in Uganda is at an all-time low and he
hopes the UN Presidency for his henchman would burnish his image.

This follows massive corruption scandals by the First Family, his
prime minister and cabinet ministers, including Sam Kutesa. The U.K.
already has cut off foreign aid after the embezzlement of hundreds of
millions of dollars.

Ugandans are also wary of Gen. Museveni's disastrous invasions of the
Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan, both of which have been
defended by Kutesa. After President Obama condemned the invasions of
Congo and the support of the brutal militia, M23, which was backed by
Gen. Museveni and Rwanda's Gen. Paul Kagame, a United Nations
intervention force defeated the insurgents. The leaders of M23
including Sultan Makenga, who is on a U.S. and UN sanctions list, fled
to Uganda and Gen. Museveni has refused to hand them over to the
International Criminal Court or to Congolese authorities.

Millions of Congolese have perished as a result of the invasions and
related wars.
A nation's sovereignty is the most cardinal principle upon which the
foundation of the United Nations is based. So how ironic is it that
while defending Uganda's repeated violations of this sacrosanct ideal
Kutesa now wants to preside over the United Nations?

Why did Museveni and his colleagues, including Kutesa, introduce the
anti-gay law even though an anti-homosexual law already exists in
Uganda dating back to the British colonial period?

Gen. Museveni faces presidential elections in 2016 against opposition
parties that for the first time seem more united than ever. The new
united front is demanding for electoral reforms, including an
independent election commission; the current hand-picked one by Gen.
Museveni merely rubber-stamps his election rigging.

Worried about his prospects, Gen. Museveni needs issues that will stir
up popular passions and win him votes in the rural areas where people
are relatively conservative, less educated, and more easy to
manipulate.

So Gen. Museveni decided to demonize gays in Uganda and to frighten
people by having his acolytes claim they were coming to molest their
children. He then signed the law even though he had assured former
president Bill Clinton and South Africa's retired Archbishop Desmond
Tutu that he wouldn't.

Since the signing of the hate-law, there have already been reported
attacks against gays in Uganda and many have fled to neighboring
countries, including Kenya. Even if his boss hadn't signed the gay
hate-law Kutesa, the co-architect, should be disqualified.

Kutesa is reputed to be one of the most corrupt and wealthiest Ugandan
politicians. He has so far survived trial and conviction due to his
close ties with Gen. Museveni; his daughter is also married to Gen.
Museveni's son, Brigadier Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who commands the feared
Presidential Guard Brigade and is reputed to be a potential heir to
the presidency of Uganda.

As far back as 1999 Kutesa was censured by Uganda's Parliament by a
152 - 94 vote for alleged "" over some fishy financial transactions
tied to his dealing with the country's national airline, Uganda
Airways, which eventually was liquidated.

More recently he was allegedly involved in the embezzlement of funds
allocated by the government to host the Commonwealth Heads of
Government Meeting in Uganda in 2007; reportedly in all $150 million
disappeared.

Just three years ago, in 2011, Kutesa was then accused together with
prime minister Amama Mbabazi and Energy Minister Hilary Onek in
Parliament of accepting millions of dollars in bribes from a foreign
oil company.

Earlier, then U.S. ambassador to Uganda, Jerry Lanier found the
allegations convincing enough to propose that the visa of Mbabazi,
Kutesa's colleague, be revoked, The Wall Street Journal reported and
his 2009 cables published by WikiLeaks show.

But like his boss Gen. Museveni, foreign minister Kutesa is one of the
country's untouchables and he has never been tried. The one time a
proceeding was initiated a judge threw it out on a "technicality."

How then can the world reward this kind of corruption with a top post?
And as Gen. Museveni's top spokesperson and co-architect of the gay
hate-law what message would this send to other countries where sexual
minorities are similarly being singled for state-sponsored attacks?

Traditionally the post of UN General Assembly presidency, which is
held for one year, rotates among the world's five major regions. The
current General Assembly President is John William Ashe of Antigua and
Barbuda. An African candidate is now due and the election is in June;
in a matter of weeks.

Cameroon's foreign minister was supposed to be nominated by African
countries but he inexplicably withdrew his candidacy and it fell on
Uganda.

It's one thing for Gen. Museveni and Kutesa to act with total impunity
in Uganda where they are above the law since they control the army.

However the international community is not obligated to reward
destructive regional military aggression, dictatorship, corruption,
and homophobic bigotry, with the prestigious presidency of the General
Assembly.

What immediate action can the U.S. take?

Washington recently refused to grant a Visa to Iran's new designated
U.N. representative, Hamid Aboutalebi, when it was revealed that he
had participated in the hostage taking at the U.S. embassy in Tehran
in 1979.

The U.S. must similarly deny a Visa to Kutesa and any representative
nominated by Gen. Museveni's regime since they are spokespersons for
tyranny, misgovernance and the anti-gay hate law.

It would be an honor for an African to preside over the General
Assembly. And Africa can still certainly come up with a candidate most
worthy of the position. However Kutesa's ascension would not only soil
the position but would bring shame and disrepute to the United
Nations. All those interested in halting this travesty must take
action.

-“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.
