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.

President Museveni flags off a train in Gulu, Uganda. The government
is accused of awarding the tender to a Chinese firm after signing MoUs
with another. FILE PHOTO.

IN SUMMARY:
At the heart of the dispute are several Uganda government departments
and two Chinese companies -CCECC and CHEC.
American lobbyists are behind CHEC and pushing Uganda government
executives in the fight for $8 billion worth of contracts to build,
upgrade and expand Uganda's railway network to standard gauge. SGR is
one of the components of the Northern Corridor infrastructure projects
that the East African Community partner states started planning as
early as 2004, but in June 2013, the presidents of Kenya, Uganda, and
Rwanda agreed to fast track it, with a March 2018 deadline.

Uganda's plans for a standard gauge railway (SGR) are in disarray as
the government must now choose between playing fair and surrendering
to lobbyists' interests.

At the heart of the dispute are several Uganda government departments
and two Chinese companies -- state-owned China Civil Engineering
Construction Corporation (CCECC) and China Harbour Engineering Company
Ltd (CHEC).

But The EastAfrican has learnt that American lobbyists are behind CHEC
and pushing Uganda government executives in the fight for $8 billion
worth of contracts to build, upgrade and expand Uganda's railway
network to standard gauge.

The SGR is one of the components of the Northern Corridor
infrastructure projects that the East African Community partner states
started planning as early as 2004, but in June 2013, the presidents of
Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda agreed to fast track it, with a March 2018
deadline.

In 1998, CCECC interested Uganda's then Ministry of Works, Housing and
Communication in a trolley bus transportation system in Kampala city,
but the ministry and President Yoweri Museveni instead interested the
same company in it the rehabilitation and development of Uganda's
railway infrastructure.

By 2004, the project was taking a regional outlook, and Museveni met
CCECC executives in Kampala and later in 2006, in Beijing, to discuss
the issue.

In 2010, Museveni asked CCECC to work with the Uganda Peoples' Defence
Forces to enable the army to develop capacity in rail construction.
These engagements crystallised into three memoranda of understanding
(MoUs) with the Chinese company, the first of which was signed on
December 22, 2011 for the construction of a new port at Bukasa in
Uganda.

The other two MoUs were signed on January 13, 2012, one for the
rehabilitation and upgrade of the existing railway line from Malaba to
Kampala and the other for the line from Tororo-Pakwach-Gulu and
expansion to Nimule, then Juba in South Sudan.

CCECC went ahead to conduct feasibility studies for the two rail
routes, and submitted them to the Ministry of Works and Transport in
April 2013.

However, even as CCECC was doing the feasibility studies, a rival firm
in CHEC appeared on the scene in August 2012.

Documents obtained by The EastAfrican indicate that President Museveni
issued a presidential directive in September 2012 to his Minister of
Works Abraham Byandala to accommodate CHEC, which was fronted by
former US assistant trade representative for Africa Rosa Whitaker, in
the railway and port projects, citing the group's goodwill in Beijing
to source funds for construction of the railway.

"Rosa Whitaker ... brought to us a Chinese group known as China
Harbour Engineering Company that wanted to help source Chinese
government soft loans to build the railways in Uganda as well as a
port on Lake Victoria," Museveni's letter reads.

On March 14, CCECC was invited to a meeting with the State Minister
for Works John Byabagambi to discuss the next steps towards the final
deals, only to be told that its contract to build the SGR for
Tororo-Pakwach-Gulu and expansion to Nimule would be handed to another
company, which had signed a new MoU with the government.

The weight of the powerful Whitaker Group forced Museveni to revise
the earlier MoUs with CCECC.

Instead, CCECC would be given the contract to build the western route
of the railway from Kampala to Kasese, which was not part of the MoUs.

Besides this shabby treatment, the company claims that it had invested
Ush50 billion ($19.3 million) on feasibility studies for the routes
covered under its MoUs with the Uganda government, fully sanctioned by
the Attorney General, Peter Nyombi, who also advised against
termination of CCECC's MoUs, according to official documents obtained.

However, on April 8 this year, Mr Byabagambi terminated CCECC's MoU
for the Tororo-Pakwach-Gulu line, saying that it was not binding.
CCECC lawyers argue that once the Chinese firm undertook to do
feasibility studies, which the government received as a sign of
commitment to undertake the projects, Kampala committed itself the
argument that the MoUs were not binding was then invalid.

More significantly, the president becomes a key player now as Mr
Byabagambi says in a June 15 sworn affidavit that he terminated the
agreements with CCECC under a presidential directive.

"In further response thereto, I have not acted on this process
unilaterally as H.E the President of the Republic of Uganda and the
summit members have been giving direction as clearly shown in annexure
B," he says.

Although the said annexure -- a July 2, 2013 letter by President
Museveni to Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi on railway infrastructure --
does not direct Mr Byabagambi to terminate CCECC's MoUs, it raises
further questions of corruption in the projects and the multiplicity
of agreements between the government and Chinese firms for the same
railway projects.

But the significant question President Museveni's letter raises is
that of financing, and is loaded with undertones of frustration as to
why Uganda's SGR remains on paper, while Kenya has already covered a
lot of ground on projects agreed on the same dates, with a similar
completion deadline.

President Museveni's letter was triggered by Transport Minister
Stephen Chebrot, who wrote to the president seeking a way out of the
impasse.

"Before we go for a win-win solution suggested by Dr Chebrot, Hon
Byandala should answer the question: If some companies fulfilled their
obligations under the MoU and on time, why had the project not
progressed by the time I came in with the Engineering Brigade of the
UPDF and, later on, with the CHEC people? After that answer, then we
shall see the way forward," reads President Museveni's letter.

China's ambassador to Uganda Zhao Yali also cited financing hurdles
when The EastAfrican sought comment last Thursday on the bickering
Chinese companies that were costing Uganda a lot of time, projects
running behind schedule and how this would be resolved.

"The financing for the projects is important; you have to know where
you can get the money. I am not ready to give comment right now
because the Uganda government is in consultation with the Chinese
companies that are contracting the railway project. But the financing
is important," he said.

In the meantime, as the blame game goes on within government
departments, namely the Ministry of Works, Attorney General's
Chambers, the Office of the President, Uganda People's Defence Forces,
all pointing fingers at each other for flouting fair play rules,
lawyers are watching the developments, and taxpayers will soon or
later pick the bill for the litigation that will arise out of this
mess.

CCECC has already won round one after getting an injunction on July 14
against the Attorney-General preventing him from terminating its MoU
for the lucrative Tororo-Pakwach-Gulu railway line, which will
eventually link up with South Sudan's line from Juba.

-“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.
