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.

RWANDA: THE LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF CPC TO HIS EXCELLENCY PRESIDENT BARACK H.OBAMA
His Excellency, President Barack H. OBAMA
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON, DC
August 4, 2014
 
Mr President,
 
It is in my capacity as a Rwandan citizen, former prime minister after the genocide and president of the Coalition of Parties for Change in Rwanda that I feel compelled to write this letter to you. With all due respect, I'd like to express my anger and profound sadness at your decision to invite General Paul Kagame, Rwanda's president, to the White House this week. You and I both know the enormity of crimes for which Mr Kagame is responsible.
 
Half a century after a wave of independence movements swept through Africa, hopes for peace, freedom and prosperity for our children have given way to despair and disillusion. Millions of Africans suffer every day in immeasurable ways.
Many live like slaves in electoral dictatorships that cynically pass themselves off as legitimate. Some of these dictatorships -- such as Rwanda -- are openly tolerated and protected by the West, in particular the United States, in a bid to pursue economic and strategic interests that are dangerously misguided.
 
As you know, Mr Kagame has no respect for the law and sanctity of life; he has refused to cede any political space in his country. He also kills or threatens anyone at home or abroad who challenges him.
To deflect from his own record, Mr Kagame regularly accuses his critics of committing crimes or conspiring against him. If Rwandans are guilty of anything today, it is of opposing a daily stream of human rights violations meted out under the guise of pursuing 'good governance and political stability.'
Rwanda's violent past – its history of genocide and wars of reprisal – are well known. Well known too are the hegemonic wars waged for nearly two decades in mineral-rich Democratic Republic of Congo, where millions of innocent people have died and a host of multinational companies -- chiefly from the United States and Canada -- have profited.
There is no doubt Mr President that these conflicts and ensuing tragedies are known to you, to your Amassador to the United Nations Mrs Samantha Power and to your National Security Advisor Mrs. Susan Rice. Both women have been longstanding admirers of Mr Kagame.
Despite accolades that exaggerate Mr Kagame's governance and only serve to provide cover for his impunity, I must tell you that the vast majority of Rwandans know better.
 
Before having invited a criminal into the White House, the US government should have carefully considered his record, the scale and gravity of which are as follows:
 
1.The massacre of tens of thousands of unarmed Rwandan peasants by Mr Kagame's Rwandan Patriotic Front in the regions of Ruhengeri and Byumba since October 1990.
2.The assassination of scores of political figures, including Emmanuel Gapyisi in 1993, Felicien Gatabazi in 1994 and Seth Sendashonga in 1998, to name merely a few.
 
3.The assassination on April 6, 1994 of the presidents of Rwanda and Burundi respectively, Juvénal Habyarimana et Cyprien Ntaryamira (documented in numerous testimonies from Mr Kagame's former friends and colleagues, including former chief of staff Kayumba Nyamwasa and Patrick Karegeya his former chief of intelligence, assassinated in South Africa on December 31, 2013.)
 
4.The asssasination during the genocide of senior Catholic clergy, including Archbishop of Kigali Vincent Nsengiyumva, Bishops Thaddée Nsengiyumva of Kabgayi and Augustin Ruzindana of Byumba, along with Monseigneur Gasabwoya and nearly a dozen priests. These clergy members were murdrered on the direct orders of Mr Kagame, who is today your guest in Washington.
 
5.The murder of Patrick Karegeya, whose body was found strangled in a hotel room in Johannesburg on New Year's Day. In 2006, Karegeya accompanied Mr Kagame to the White House to meet with then president George Bush, who hailed his Rwandan counterpart as a 'man of action'.
6.The plotting of other murders, including attempts on the life of his former chief of staff General Nyamwasa, and of myself, the author of this letter.
 
It is clear that there are no world events escaping your attention, in particular the strife gripping the Middle East and war in the DRC. But it must be pointed out that Mr Kagame invaded Congo in 1996, unleashing a war and stoking conflict by supporting militias there ever since. His troops are responsible for the killing of an estimated 300,000 Rwandan Hutu refugees, including women and children chased and murdered like wild animals in the Congolese forests between 1996 and 1997. A UN investigation known as the MAPPING EXERCISE REPORT released in 2010 concluded that these killings could constitute genocide if prosecuted in a court of law.
 
These crimes – systematic and monstrous in nature -- were carried out on the orders of Mr Kagame, a man lauded by your colleagues and now in the prestigious confines of the White House.
Mr Kagame is also responsible for the massacre of an estimated 8,000 displaced Rwandans – men, women, children and babies -- from a UN monitored camp in Kibeho, in southwestern Rwanda in April 1995. The international community remained silent in the face of that gruesome slaughter, exempting Mr Kagame of responsibility, presumably because of the 1994 genocide. Yet when more than 6,000 mostly Muslim civilians were massacred in July 1995 in Srebenica, the UN recognized this crime as genocide. Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic paid the price, facing justice in the Hague. But what about Mr. Kagame? Should crimes in Africa be judged differently than those committed in Europe?
 
Finally, more than five million Congolese have died from violence or illnesses related to a war in the DRC that Mr Kagame unleashed, fed and profited from since 1996, under the false pretext of ensuring the security of Tutsis in Rwanda and the DRC.
 
Mr President, I am personally disappointed that a leader accused of crimes of such magnitude is invited to speak at the White House, as though his actions could ever be whitewashed.
Although I appreciate your efforts at the US-Africa summit to tackle tough issues and promote dialogue, your decision to provide a legitimate platform for Mr Kagame is discouraging for Rwandans everywhere, especially our youth who pinned their hopes on you to change US policy in the Great Lakes and on the continent as a whole.
 
We have not forgotten your words : Africa doesn't need strongmen, it needs strong institutions.
With my highest regard,
 
Faustin Twagiramungu

President of the Coalition of Parties for Change in Rwanda (CPC)

-“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

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.

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.
