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] FDLR: Kagame politically surviving on a permanent state of war in the region

 


These are mainly young Rwandan hutu orphans who are survivors of many raids of RPF funded militias operating in Eastern Congo. They live behind the lines of FDLR rebels under their protection against those attacks. They engage in daily prayers requesting divine protection of their forces.

These are mainly young Rwandan hutu orphans who are survivors of many raids of RPF funded militias operating in Eastern Congo. They live behind the lines of FDLR rebels under their protection against those attacks. They engage in daily prayers requesting divine protection of their forces.

The January 2nd, 2015 deadline has passed without the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR in its french acronym) completely disarming. That should have been expected if one considers that these rebels are protecting themselves and Hutu refugee populations surviving miserably in the areas they control.

Despite this, on Thursday January 8th, 2015 UNSC has continued pressuring FDLR to unconditionally disarm, or face forced disarmament. The Council did no more than stressing what the US envoy Russel D. Feingold had expressed at the eve of 2015.

"The Security Council further stresses that ending the threat of the FDLR, including through robust military action by the FARDC and MONUSCO through its Force Intervention Brigade in cooperation with the whole of MONUSCO as per OP4 (b) of resolution 2147 (2014), is a critical and necessary component of civilian protection, and expresses its intention to take into account progress made in ending the threat of the FDLR in assessing next steps in the Great Lakes."

But sorry Sirs of UNSC. FDLR is not a further threat to regional stability than the constant DRC invaders plus their sponsors combined. Apparently, scrambling Congolese minerals needs scapegoats. For many years, the Hutu rebels have been in the way of those seeking to exploit Congolese minerals and eventually split Eastern Congo from the rest of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The truth is that the plundering of Congolese resources and covering such objective with the intention of bringing stability in the region by removing FDLR in the way falls into the strategy of manipulation of public opinion. US, UK, EU and other powers with economic interests in DRC want to finish the Hutu rebel group as this has been attempted several times since 1996 with the first invasion of the Democratic Republic of Congo by the coalition of Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi. The UN Mapping Reportpublished on October 1st, 2010 reveals some critical facts of the issue.

FDLR, on its own initiative, since many years entered the process of voluntary surrendering weapons and demobilising its soldiers. The rebel group has shown to Rwanda and neighboring countries and the international community its desire of peace in the region. But disarming was also for the rebels a way of seeking help from the same interested parties to pressure Rwanda and bring it to a negotiation table. Unfortunately, beneficiaries of the current status quo of permanent state of war do not want to hear about dialogue between Kagame and FDLR, though negotiation approach is being used in all other conflicts, but not this one.

The case of FDLR that many who are following the situation closely consider its members as freedom fighters is different from other rebel groups that have been identified in Eastern Congo all these years. AFDL, RDC-GOMA, CNDP and M23 have been for example movements whose core was led by Rwandan Tutsis with objectives of taking power in Kinshasa. At the opposite of these other groups, as far as the journey of struggle of the Hutu rebel group is concerned, its members have always sought first and foremost the protection of civilians that the Rwandan Patriotic Front had not reached and massacred. Their second objective has been to return to Rwanda in dignity. Gaining political power in somebody else country have never been their intention.

The highlighted Tutsi-led rebels were at different levels backed up by Rwanda and Uganda plus a conglomerate of multinationals interested in Congolese mineral resources. FDLR on the contrary consists of Hutu refugees who survived a number of "genocides" and other crimes against humanity perpetrated by the mentioned countries and other rebel groups in their way to Congolese riches. It is worth mentioning that from time to time FDLR has been associated with Congolese forces (FARDC) when DRC was fighting to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity, particularly when former Congolese president Laurent-Desire Kabila was at war with Museveni and Kagame in 1998.

Bosco Mutarambirwa, a Rwandan human rights activist based in New York, gives his view on the hypocrisy and double standards of the international community about the FDLR situation, referring to suggestions made by Simone Schlindwein and Jason Stearns, german and american journalists respectively, on what should be done.

"In her latest analysis of FDLR situation, Simone Schlindwein seems to agree with Jason Stearns that the majority of FDLR are not "known" war criminals. It appears that ongoing psychological warfare is directed toward specific FDLR elements such as Byiringiro and the likes who have been designated by the "international community" as war criminals among FDLR forces. They want these individuals to give in, therefore paving the way for inter-Rwanda negotiations.

But why bother cleaning up FDLR of war criminals if you can't clean RDF/RPF of criminals? Why not just go straight ahead to political negotiations? Priorities are terribly misplaced here and hypocrisy is palpable everywhere. According to Jason, 80-90% of FDLR senior commanders are NOT known criminals. And on RDF/RPF side, about 100% top commanders are well known war criminals! This double standard has got to stop."

As in 1998, the FDLR case might be a cause of confrontation between countries supportive of the integrity and sovereignty of DRC – the SADC bloc including Tanzania and South Africa, and those interested in the slicing/balkanization of the country – mainly Rwanda and Uganda with their US and UK, Canada and Israel allies. Time has shown now and again that there were those who thrive in strategically managed chaos and constant instability. Almost more than 8 million of innocent lives have perished in such processes.

Whatever the direction current tractations about FDLR might take, what is certain is that for the Rwandan president and his regime, maintaining a permanent state of war has been a strong political strategy to render secondary every other national and critical issues – oppression of populations, imprisonment, injustice, dispossession of property, misery in rural areas, lack of democracy, corruption at the highest level of the administration, significant unemployment of the youth, and discrimination against hutus in the education system.

In 2010 I wrote that if rebel groups such as FDLR did not exist, leaders like Paul Kagame would certainly create them in reality or fictively, because it is only through such tools and the accompanying propaganda, that their political legitimacy finds its justification. Without them they would be politically finished. In other words, to finish him and the like, – Joseph Kabila and Joweri Museveni too benefit politically from such contexts -, don't give them war or chaos they are always seeking.

"They [Museveni and Kagame] need them [rebel groups] to justify their clinging onto power. This serves their purpose in staying in charge and at the same time serving their masters, at the expense of their citizens undoubtedly."

In the particular case of Paul Kagame, facts that were revealed through BBC Rwanda Untold Story demonstrate another trait of character of the Rwandan president, which is cunning and manipulative with high standards, and where his crimes are politically twisted to empower him and his inner circle in holding onto the entire wealth of the country and sustaining their authority over all its institutions.

-“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.

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.

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.
