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.

[AfricaRealities.com] DRC: OPEN LETTER TO COUNTRY MEMBERS OF SADC AND ICGLR BY RWANDAN OPPOSITION PARTIES

 


DRC: OPEN LETTER TO COUNTRY MEMBERS OF SADC AND ICGLR BY RWANDAN OPPOSITION PARTIES


an open letter to country members of sadc and icglr by rwandan opposition parties on rwandan refugees and chronic instability in the eastern regions of the drc



To: -
His Excellency the Head of State Member of the SADC (All)
-His Excellency the Head of State Member of ICGLR (All)


RE:      1) To seek protection and assistance to Rwandan refugees in theDRC;
2) To call for a structural and lasting response to the root causeof instability involving Rwandan State or non-State actors, andvisible or non visible hands.


Excellencies,

As You are still examining the situation in the eastern provinces of theDemocratic Republic of the Congo, Rwandan democratic oppositionparties would like to express their concerns about that stalemate andare honored to share with Your leadership our views on what we think isthe best way to restore security, peace and stability to that part of thecountry and by extension to the Great Lakes region in general.
1.     For several weeks now, the Government of Rwanda ledby the former rebel group Rwandese Patriotic Front(RPF) has been pushing for immediate military operationsagainst Rwandan armed groups based in the EasternDRC.
2.     Much as that position was not new, we deeply regret thatcertain quarters of the International Community haveunquestionably backed this militaristic approach, in spite ofthe lessons learned from the immeasurable or whopping impactand short or long term human and material losses of such aradical approach as conducted in the past, including inRwanda itself.
3.     Moreover such a response is morally unfair in as much as itwould greatly affect an already hurt population composedof Congolese and Rwandan refugees who haveexceedingly suffered in the last twenty years as a result ofpast military approaches to political differences originatingfrom the lack of ethnic inclusion and political space inRwanda.
4.     In light of the lessons learned from past mistakes, we salute theapproaches of the Government of the United Republic ofTanzania and of the Government of the Republic of SouthAfrica who have unambiguously expressed support to voluntarydisarmament as the best way of pursuing their efforts inrestoring peace and stability in that part of the


DRC. Together with the contingent of the Republic ofMalawi deployed within the Monusco as part of its ForceIntervention Brigade, we commend their commitment,professionalism and sacrifice in the work done in thatrespect.
5.     In our opinion, the existence and continued presence ofRwandan armed groups in general and FDLR in particular onthe territory of the DRC is a symptom and not the root cause ofinstability. It is rather the consequence of Rwanda's lack of anethnically inclusive and democratic political system ofgovernance that would accommodate the country's ethnicdiversity and permit peaceful access to and transmission ofpower, expression of dissent as well as that of the will of theRwandan people through regular, fair and transparentelections whose results are protected by non-sectarian andnon- partisan judiciary system and security and defenseforces.
6.     The RPF Government has refused to embrace such an inclusivepath domestically and  has rather repeatedly engaged intobellicose actions abroad, mostly at the expense of the DRC.The two year term accorded to Rwanda as a non-permanentmember of the United Nations Security Council has mainlybeen a platform to push its narrow and self-centered sectarianand authoritarian interests on the international stage instead ofbeing an opportunity to engage its armed and non-armedopposition. It has been a wasted and lost opportunity for Africaand for all nations and peoples still suffering from dominationand oppression.
7.     According to the DRC National Commission for Refugees, atleast 245,000 registered Rwandan refugees still live in thatcountry. Most of those refugees are survivors of thesystematic mass killings committed by the RPF Governmentarmed forces during their direct or proxy military interventionsin that country since 1996. Some of those crimes weredocumented by the UN Mapping exercise on grave violations ofinternational humanitarian law committed between 1993 and2003 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The reportcompiled and made public on October 1, 2010 stated thatsome of the documented crimes against humanity would becharacterized as crimes of genocide if presented before acompetent court.
8.     More than four years after that report, the InternationalCommunity has absolutely done nothing to prosecute thosecrimes and pay reparations to the survivors. More shockingly,the aforementioned survivors have completely been thrown intooblivion and left to their odd fate with absolutely no protectionand no assistance by the competent UN agencies.
9.     Similarly, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda didnever open trials for RPF Government officials suspected ofcrimes within its mandate as stated by the 955 UN resolutioninstituting that jurisdiction. The residual Mechanism ofInternational Criminal Tribunal left in place was not givenanything close to a mandate aimed at correcting thatmiscarriage of justice. In those circumstances, it would beethically unfair and politically


unacceptable to engage military operations whoseconsequences would be to add more suffering to an alreadydeeply wounded population in lieu of the much needed anddelayed protection and assistance they deserve and have beenlonging for two decades.
10.  Considering all the reasons mentioned above and othersalready expressed in various previous correspondences anddeclarations, we would like to advise the Heads of State andGovernments of SADC and ICGLR member states to directtheir efforts at solving the root cause of Rwandaninvolvement in destabilizing activities of DRC by engagingwith the RPF Government for a broad based dialogue withthe opposition. Military solutions will once again result intoexporting those problems to neighboring countries andcreating massive displacements of populations, destruction ofproperty and serious negative environmental impact.
We, the signatories, are committed to that peaceful and inclusiveapproach and would be delighted to be given an opportunity to detailour contribution to that effect to SADC and ICGLR Member States,whether in a bilateral or multilateral conversation.

Sincerely,

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.
I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
When the white man came we had the land and they had the bibles; now they have the land and we have the bibles.

-“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 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.
