PLATEFORME AMAHORO PC – FDU INKINGI – PDP IMANZI – PS IMBERAKURI – RWANDA NATIONAL CONGRESS (RNC)PRESS RELEASE N° 001/2015
EMPHATIC NO TO PRESIDENT KAGAME'S BID TO BECOME THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND
The political platform, composed of political organisations Amahoro PC, FDU-Inkingi; PDP- Imanzi; PS Imberakuri and Ihuriro Nyarwanda- Rwanda National Congress- RNC would like to condemn in the strongest terms possible President Kagame bid to become the supreme law of the land.
A cabinet meeting chaired by President Paul Kagame on the 9th of September 2015, appointed a 7 man commission of legal experts to assist the Parliament in the process of amending the constitution in order to lift the limitation of presidential terms. This is to allow President Kagame to stand again when his term ends in 2017. This is again to show to any remaining doubters that the move to change the constitution in unstoppable and that President is determined to become King Paul of Rwanda.
In order to put his point home more emphatically that he is the supreme law in the land, President Kagame chose the time and the day that the Supreme Court of Rwanda was busy deliberating on the lawsuit filed by the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda on the 29th of July 2015, opposing the change of the Rwandan Constitution, especially Article 101, regarding lifting of Presidential term limit to appoint the commission. On the day the court was examining in particular the petition by the government that the Court had no competence to hear the petition of the Green Party. The President did not even have the courtesy to await the ruling of the highest law institution in the land. The Supreme Court ruled against the government petition and confirmed that it had the competence to hear the case filed by the Green Party. However in order to confirm the lack of independence of parliament, the Senate went ahead, despite the Supreme Court ruling to hear the case filed by the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda, to approve members of the Commission appointed by the cabinet meeting chaired by President Paul Kagame.
This is again a reminder to all peace loving and friends of the Rwandan people, who had given President Kagame the benefit of doubt, that seating on the fence watching Rwanda slipping into future political instability is betraying the people of Rwanda once again. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
We take this opportunity to thank most sincerely the US government for coming out fully and openly on the side of the Rwandan people and advising President Paul Kagame not to change the constitution in order to remain in power.
One cannot emphasize enough the truth behind the wise words of President Obama that "when a leader tries to change the rules in the middle of the game just to just to stay in office, it risks instability and strife." We would also like to thank the United Kingdom government for expressing its opposition to the change of constitution in Rwanda through the statement of Right Honourable Minister Grant Shapps during his press conference at the end of his visit to Rwanda early September 2015.
We would like to recall that it is not the first time that Rwandan leaders have tried to cling to power against all odds, each time leading the country to political instability and sending in smoke all past economic achievements. It is morally irresponsible and inhuman to let it happen again and therefore our political platform is determined to do everything in its power with the support of genuine friends of the Rwandan people to rein on President Kagame to stop pushing the country on the edge of another political violence.

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.
25,000 Hutu bodies floated down River Akagera into Lake Victoria in Uganda.
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’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.
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.
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
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.
