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.

Paul Kagame's third term: A nightmare for Rwandans.

«To swallow fire or spit a delicacy? »
This is the question that overwhelms the minds of Kagame and his clique until the end of his last term in 2017.
Kagame and his clique badly miscalculated.
Back to 2003, when the Constitution was enacted, why didn't they anticipate and plan for the future the way Museveni did and make sure there is no limit to presidential terms for Kagame ?
What went wrong? This is why I say Kagame and his clique did indeed miscalculate!
It started when the strongman Kagame ousted President Pasteur Bizimungu in 2000, three years before the enactment of the current Constitution and the first post genocide presidential election.
Kagame must have thought that 3 years before the elections plus two times 7 years would make a total of 17 years and that it would be enough and more than enough, so he probably never considered 2017 because for him and his clique it was very far time wise or that something unexpected, a miracle or providence would cater for the future.
This providence, that chance is the beginning of our ordeal.
1. To swallow fire or spit a delicacy?
Many may wonder why Kagame does not stand before the Rwandans to say, "in 2017, I will have completed the mission you elected me for, be prepared to choose another Rwandan who will lead you ! "
In normal circumstances, Kagame would be seen as an outstanding by his fellows Rwandans and even as a symbol of democracy by the entire international community, some even say that he would be considered like another Mandela. You must be wondering why it isn't going that way.
Many can be misled in thinking that it is the lust for power and sweeter side of it that motivate Kagame.
Kagame personally accumulated a large amount of wealth so that he no longer needs to remain in power for material comfort. In the video below, you can see him very irritated by a question about the third term to which he replies he doesn't need it at all.
https://www.facebook.com/martin.ntiyamira/videos/10153038345186919/
Kagame's motivation is essentially what makes me compare his situation to that of having to choose between "swallowing fire or spitting a delicacy".
Kagame does not know where to turn, whether to serve a new term or allow democracy to really prevail for the first time in the country.
2. Kagame's negative record
The main reason for Kagame not to leave power in 2017, is his very negative record in terms of abuses of human rights since the beginning of his tenure.
These serious crimes remind us of what happened to former Liberian President Charles Taylor, who was imprisoned by the relevant court as soon as he lost the immunity  as head of state.
Kagame knows it very well, he knows what he did and he knows that it is known by many people. He is sure that after 2017, he will have to answer for the negative record of his presidency.
It is also for this reason that maneuvers are undertaken to ensure that the Constitution allows Kagame to run endlessly for the President's Office and he enjoys immunity as head of state for life. Kagame has begun to make every effort possible to retain this immunity after 2017.
3. With the campaign for Kagame's 3rd term, even the illiterate can write now!
The current schemes consist in forcing people to write letters demanding the Constitution to be amended so that they can again vote massively for him and he can claim that they voted for him as they claim they want him to remain in power.
It is a shame to see the elderly who cannot write and do not even know what people want to change in the Constitution, joining others in sending letters requesting the modification of the Constitution.
The comedy being played in Parliament is pitiful: its leaders receive boxes full of letters written by Rwandans asking for changes in the Constitution.
In this rush to demand the modification of the Constitution, it is laughable that people sentenced to prison are the more vocal to show that they want President Kagame to remain in power because he did not kill them.
It's really unbelievable to hear that the infamous Tutsis genocide convict journalist Valerie Bemeriki of the killing Radio Television Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM) is a leading supporter of Kagame's 3rd term !
The singer Sankara wrote a song in Kinyarwanda in honor of late General Fred Rwigema and the title is "Nzababaza ubwoko bwanjye mwishe" which can be translated  "Tell me about the people of my ethnic group you killed" and Sankara explains that "Those who killed you (Rwigema) and those (Hutu) who killed us (the Tutsis), are united to finish us off… ". It is still the case today.
Hopefully, in the coming days we will not see widows and orphans of Kagame's wars also writing to request that he continues to lead and make Rwandans suffer.
We should not blame them; these poor fellows have no alternative: Kagame has always required many sacrifices from them but he never gave them anything in exchange.
4. Kagame's 3rd term campaigners
As part of manipulations preparing the ground for the referendum on changes of the Constitution, journalists are not the last to organize debates that attracts a lot of people, the main objective is always to state that the rules on the presidential term should be amended; in these discussions, there is always only one person who declares that the change of the Constitution is not appropriate.
But when you listen to ordinary citizens who call in radio shows, many of them argue that section of the Constitution on the presidential mandate should not be changed.
When you look into the work of the 3rd term campaigners and who prepare those discussions, you understand their methods and their goal. Most of the time, in the conclusions of these discussions, people like the RPF commissioner and chief ideologist Tito Rutaremara and Moussa Fazil Harerimana, the Minister and Chairman of PDI, a junior member of RPF coalition say it is clear that Rwandans are divided in two categories:
-Those who want the Constitution to be amended
-Those who do not want to hear about changes in the Constitution.
In their set up, this is the basis of their argument that Rwandans need a referendum to deal with this division.
And that's why you saw that what followed are these theatrical scenes of convoys bringing letters supposedly written by ordinary Rwandans asking the Constitution to be changed.
Don't be fooled by these debates, their sole purpose is to prove that a referendum is necessary.
Kagame can thus show that Rwandans themselves requested it.
Kagame who manages to win real elections through fraud, will have no difficulty and will not hesitate to manipulate a referendum in which you just say YES or NO.
5. Kagame and his captives
Normally, the main objective of a political party is to come to power and then implement its program.
We continue to be amazed by the behavior of the Chairpersons of political parties in Rwanda starting with Moussa Fazil Harelimana of PDI, Vincent Biruta of PSD and Donatille Mukabalisa of PL who continues to act like people defeated by Kagame and subservient to him.
After all this, Kagame will exercise all  means necessary to keep his immunity that allows him protection against prosecution for all the serious crimes he has committed and continues to commit against every Rwandan.
Some of the actions Kagame will try to carry out to cling to power:
6. Kagame in the Putin / Medvedev scenario
After Kagame's failure to amend the Constitution, he might consider a trick like Putin's  of Russia who placed his agent Dmitri Medvedv in the presidential seat pending his return.
This arrangement will be a difficult transition as it would require changing the Constitution; which does not allow anyone to go beyond two presidential terms.
7. Kagame's Presidential Tool
As Kagame is under the risk of losing his immunity at the end of his term in 2017, he will ensure other means to sustain his protection and immunity.  Kagame will instill his confidant into power in Rwanda who will ensure safety against the international courts for the atrocities committed as president.
This attempt will be designed below:
7a. to campaign for a close and reliable person as presidential candidate
For fear of being prosecuted the day he no longer enjoys the immunity as a head of state; Kagame will try to appoint a trusted person loyal to him who will make the transfer to an international court very difficult.
But Kagame cannot be 100% sure because when that trusted person becomes head of state, sooner or later he might seek to assert himself. If necessary, he could one day hand Kagame over to international justice.
7b. Kagame and his wife as presidential candidate
If Kagame was replaced by his wife, he would be sure that he would not be brought to justice to answer for his actions because his wife is the only person who would resist tooth and nail against his transfer.
In both cases, to be replaced by a trustworthy person or by his wife, Kagame would be like a prisoner within the borders of Rwanda because when abroad he might be arrested anytime and brought to justice.
That is why Kagame will try everything possible to avoid being in this situation.
Women and men from Rwanda, be vigilant, condemn and fight against the ongoing manipulations designed to amend the Constitution, so that Kagame stays in power.
Let us stop behaving like captives.
Les us reject the referendum.
If genuine elections can be manipulated and their results arranged, it will be easier with a referendum in which voter's just say yes or no.
It's time to say No to Kagame, now is the time to tell him that he has no right to treat us like his captives.
It's time to say to Kagame "It's over, we don't want this anymore! "
Let us fight for a lasting peace.

-“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.
