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.

PRESS RELEASE

 

ALL PERPETRATORS OF THE 1994 RWANDA GENOCIDE 

MUST ANSWER FOR THEIR ATROCITIES

 

 

"Those responsible for mass killings or genocide must be held accountable for their actions in order to end impunity and ensure justice for the victims".  This statement from Dr. Sam Kutesa, President of the UN General Assembly, was made on his behalf by His Excellency Nicholas Emiliou,UN permanent representative of Cyprus, during the UN ceremony to commemorate the Rwandan genocide, at the UN headquarters on 7thApril, 2015.

 

The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on his part said that the world must make use of the International Day of Reflection on the Genocide in Rwanda to look back on the past – and to squarely confront the challenges of the present, renewing the collective resolve and summoning the courage to prevent such atrocities from happening again.

 

These are important statements from the two most important officials of the world body.  We should indeed rejoice that the United Nations is recommitting itself to making sure that those who are actually responsible for committing genocide and mass killings in Rwanda will all be held responsible.

Under chapter II of its political program, our political party, FDU-National Movement-INKUBIRI, our stand is articulated as follows:

On genocide: "We recognise and condemn (the Rwandan genocide) genocide against Tutsis. Genocide is the negation in extreme, of a right to life for others that each and everybody must recognise, empathise and condemn.  In April, 1994, Tutsis living in Rwanda were victims of genocide in what was referred to as the final solution because they were made sacrificial lambs by a regime in crisis. (...)"

On war crimes and crimes against humanity:  "We recognise and condemn crimes against humanity.

Before, during and after genocide, RPF rebels massacred population in the zone under their control. Even after taking over power in July, 1994, they continued massacres of the population.(...)"

 

Listening to the statements by Their Excellencies Sam Kutesa and Ban Ki-moon,however, bring to mind a few questions:

1.   Who is responsible for shooting down the presidential plane carrying Presidents Juvenal Habyarimana of Rwanda and Cyprien Ntaryamira of Burundi? Corroborated eye witness reports have confirmed and reconfirmed that President Kagame gave the orders to shoot down the presidential jet. The Rwandan genocide was sparked by the act of downing the plane that was carrying the two presidents from Dar es Salaam Heads of State Meeting on peace in the sub-region.  It has been twenty one years ever since and there has never been an international inquiry to establish officially who is responsible for the death of two heads of state and plunging Rwanda and the entire great lakes sub-region into mayhem?

The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) established in November, 1994, throughout its life, research and processes has not been able to indict any member of RPF, an organization that is responsible for the death of millions for the period spanning the start of its rebel campaign in 1990 to date.

If the UN is committed to ensuring that perpetrators of Rwandan Genocide are punished, one would assume that the only logical approach would be to establish who pulled the trigger since; through this discovery the world would know the role of each protagonist in the conflict in order to establish responsibility of Rwandan Genocide and associated crimes.  Why is the UN silent on who shot down the Presidential plane after twenty-one years?  It behooves belief that two presidents of two UN member countries were killed in a war criminal manner and no investigations were carried out to establish responsibility.  It put UN credibility in disrepute since by its behavior, does not inspire confidence in its impartiality. 

2.   Dr. Sam Kutesa, the President of the General Assembly said that those responsible must be held accountable for their actions in order to end impunity and to ensure justice for the victims.  We believe that 'justice for victims' means 'justice for all victims'.  This being the case, again the presumption would naturally and logically be that both parties to the conflict that begot genocide and mass crimes, have to be examined to establish their role in committing genocide and mass crimes.  The two parties to this said conflict are; the then Rwandan government of Habyarimana and by extension, the transitional government of President Theodore Sindikubwabo on one part and, the Rwandan Patriotic Front of President Kagame, on the other.

 

To date, only the vanquished side of the conflict has been investigated, charged, tried and judged.  The Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) has never been investigated even if their crimes during this same periodhave been denounced and the UN and indeed the international justice system is not without probable cause to believe RPF and its leadership were grossly complicit in the commission of Rwandan genocide and mass crimes.  It begs the question then, how else can we ensure justice for all victims of crime if not all perpetrators are indicted?  How can victims of RPF crimes get justice unless RPF and its leaders are held accountable for their crimes?

3.      Since the mission of ICTR was to prosecute persons responsible for genocide and other serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in the territory of Rwanda and Rwandan citizens responsible for genocide and other such violations committed in the territory of neighboring states, between 1 January 1994 and 31 December 1994, at what point did the UN through ICTR decide that these crimes were all committed by one side to the conflict and therefore there was no need to investigate RPF leadership? 

 

Since Rwandan Patriotic Front took over power in Rwanda, many crimes justifying international intervention have been committed by RPF government both in Rwanda and neighboring countries.  The international community has all along kept silent just as it kept silent as genocide was taking place.  Why would then the Rwandan people believe expressions of 'good intentions' and 'ensuring justice' and 'making sure what happened does not happen again'?  Is it not because of this impunity of RPF leaders during genocide that emboldened them to commit all the other crimes they have committed since after genocide such as:

-      Kibeho massacres of April 1995 in which 8,000 Hutu IDPs were decimated;

-      Calling people for 'meetings' across the country side and instead shooting all of them to death at close range and with helicopter gunships;

-       The crimes against humanity or possibly genocide and war crimes in DR.Congo as detailed in UN Mapping Report of October 2010 in which at least 250,000 Hutus were systematically exterminated;

-      Political assassinations that happen on a regular basis both on the Rwandan soil and in other countries where persecuted Rwandans run for protection, just to mention a few.

On a regular basis, innocent people in Rwanda are killed through different gruesome ways.  The most recent being a civilian businessman, Assinapol Rwigara, wrapped in a body bag while still alive by the Rwandan national police, after having been beaten and conveniently placed at the scene of a staged accident?  Opposition politicians, journalists, human rights workers and civilians are murdered at will in brazen ways.  Rwandan on a daily basis cry to the international community to come to their rescue but instead, the international community responds by rewarding president Kagame and his government with international awards and praises.

It is befitting to remember Victims of Rwandan genocide but it awfully and woefully sounds hollow when words do not match actions.  It is the case with Rwanda genocide and UN and international reaction to it and to its aftermath.

-“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.
