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] The EastAfrican: Cost of preserving bodies and burying the dead too dear for many Rwandan families

 

Cost of preserving bodies and burying the dead too dear for many
Rwandan families

In Summary
Death is turning out to be a very costly affair in Rwanda.

The rising cost of death-related services mean many Rwandans cannot
afford to preserve the bodies of their deceased kin appropriately
pending burial.

Some Rwandan families, especially upcountry, say provincial hospitals
lack mortuary and embalming services while referral hospitals that
have are expensive.

John Ntambara*, 75, a resident of Gatsibo District, died earlier this
month from heart and lung complications. His family decided to
preserve the body to enable his daughter and his son, who live in
South Africa and the UK, respectively, to attend the burial.

For the five days that the body lay at King Faisal Hospital, Kigali,
the family accumulated a bill of Rwf800,000 in mortician services,
which included a daily embalming injection and mortuary fees.

According to the son, Charles Muneza*, the body could not be moved to
Eastern Province because the two hospitals of Ngoma and Nyagatare are
in a poor state, so the best option was to keep it in Kigali and move
it when it was ready for burial.

Cannot afford

"These charges did not include the funeral service charges or even the
hospital bills, which meant the family had to mobilise resources to
meet these costs. An ordinary citizen cannot afford these services,"
Mr Muneza said.

KFH-K however says the figure provided above could have been inflated
or it includes other medical charges because the cost of a mortician's
services at arguably Rwanda's biggest referral hospital is
"affordable."

"I don't think that figure is accurate, unless if it includes hospital
bills," said Praise Asiimwe, the public relations officer of KFH-K.
"If the deceased was a patient at the hospital, the first night in the
mortuary is free and the next day it is Rwf20,000.

"The average cost of embalming is Rwf41,000 per daily injection,
depending on the state of the body. If it is in a normal state it can
go lower than that but even if it is damaged, the injections cannot
cost more than that."

But even then, for an average Rwandan family that cost is not
affordable, especially if the process has to be carried on the body
for many days.

A mortuary attendant at Kigali Central Teaching Hospital (CHUK) told
Rwanda Today on condition of anonymity that the best option for
low-income earners is to take the body on the day the person dies for
a quick burial to avoid the costs.

"Some families abandon the bodies here due to lack of mortuary fees,"
the mortuary attendant said. "There are people who are brought here
without the knowledge of their families, especially those who die in
accidents.

"By the time they get to know about the death, the cost of claiming
the body is too high for them."

Earlier this year, Rwanda Today carried a story in which hospitals
complained that abandoned bodies in public mortuaries, which were on
the increase, were eating into hospital budgets through unplanned
burial expenses.

Dr Theobald Hategekimana, the CHUK director-general, said in such
cases hospitals are forced to meet burial expenses, which affects
their operational budgets.

"We are yet to talk to the government about this, to see whether a
sort of subsidy, fund or law governing this matter can be established
so as to avoid losses," he said then.

Body treatment and preservation services are also provided by private
companies but the cost is higher.

Languide Nyirababeruka of Twifatanye Funeral Services said embalming
depends on the state of the body and that the injection costs between
Rwf20,000 and Rwf40,000 for bodies that are to be buried locally.

The cost of embalming a body to be transported outside Rwanda can go
up to $650,000 — for example, when a foreigner dies in Rwanda. This
does not include placing the body in a hermetically sealed coffin,
which should be done within 24 hours of death.

But even then, embalming services in Rwanda are not of international
standards due to lack of the necessary drugs. It is only done by
injecting a formalin solution into the body.

An autopsy costs about Rwf100,000.

There is also a shortage of storage facilities, especially at
provincial hospitals. The National University Hospital at Butare
(CHUB), KFH-K, CHUB and Kanombe Military Hospital can and provide
standard cold storage and autopsies. However, all of the hospitals are
in the cities.

In recent years, Rwandans have also raised concerns over the cost of
burial sites, especially in the popular cemeteries such as Rusororo in
Kigali, where charges depend on the social category of the deceased.

The standard fee for a burial spot is Rwf750,000 but a grave in the
VIP section ranges from Rwf2.9 million to Rwf5 million. The middle
class, which has three subsections, costs between Rwf600,000 and
Rwf200,000 while the ordinary category is Rwf100,000.

The last category, which costs Rwf15,000, is usually reserved for the
needy, the homeless and unidentified people.

The cost of a decent coffin ranges from Rwf40,000 and Rwf290,000 but
there are some that can go up to Rwf1 million.

-“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.

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.
