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.

Botswana refuses to recognise Museveni win, says elections were not free and fair

Edward Chweya 3 days ago 77292

See the first African country to tell Museveni, 'You rigged yourself to power'

– Yoweri Museveni was re-elected Ugandan president amid rebellion from the opposition and international observers who said the election was not free and fair

– A number of African countries including Kenya have since congratulated him for the controversial win

– However, Botswana has refused to recognise Museveni's win, saying it relies on report from international observers and believes the election was not democratic

– Museveni has rubbished those opposing his re-election

The re-election of Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for another term as president of Uganda has continued to elicit mixed reactions the world over, with the latest being refusal by an African country to recognize him as the duly elected leader of the East African nation.

Botswana is the only African country that has so far refused to accept Museveni's re-election, saying it is going by the report by international observers like the European Union and the Commonwealth.

In a statement by Botswana Ministry of Foreign affairs and International Cooperation, the South African nation says that it has taken note of the reports of international observer groups on the recent general election, and therefore does not believe that Museveni was genuinely elected as president.

"The Government of Botswana has observed that based on the findings of some international observers, the elections were characterised by, amongst others; lack of transparency, reported incidents of intimidation and harassment, social media restrictions, as well as continuous arrests and detention of a prominent leader of the opposition," the statement said.

Botswana further said that it is appalling that the elections were conducted amid sabotage of democratic rights and freedoms, and is concerned that the outcome is not true and authentic.

"Government of Botswana remains deeply concerned that such conduct during an election would have deeply undermined the norms of best practice governing democratic elections, as well as, the continent's efforts towards consolidation of democracy," the statement read further.

During the election, Uganda police closed down social media platforms, arrested key opposition leader Kizza Besigye and cracked down on the opposition for protesting the manner in which the election was being conducted.

There were also claims of massive rigging and closing down of polling stations in opposition strongholds to sabotage Besigye's possible win.

Museveni was eventually declared winner by the Ugandan electoral commission, garnering over 60% of the total votes cast. Besigye had 35.4% of the votes.

A number of African leaders have since congratulated Museveni. Among the countries include Kenya, Burundi, South Africa and Rwanda. Russia has also congratulated the old man.

President Uhuru Kenyatta found himself in the centre of a storm after congratulating Museveni. Angry Kenyans took to social media to disown his congratulatory message, saying he only did it as an individual and not on behalf of Kenyans.

Museveni has been in power since 1986 when he took over through a rebellion. He has also said that he does not subscribe to term limits, indicating he is likely to remain in power as long as he lives.

[AfricaRealities.com] USA: The Harvard Crimson objects to Kagame visit

http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2016/2/26/kagame-hks-visit/

Harvard Abdicates Its Moral Responsibility

By SACHA YABILI9 hours ago

Harvard is rolling out the red carpet for President Paul Kagame of Rwanda, inviting him to speak this Friday and Saturday at the Harvard Kennedy School, the Harvard Business School and the Harvard Africa Business Conference.

Kagame gained respectability for ending the Rwandan 1994 genocide and for bringing stable governance to his previously beleaguered country. As a result, he enjoys the support of a wide range of influential public personalities including Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Bill Gates and Starbucks Chairman Howard Schultz.

But incontrovertible facts have emerged, and they bring to light the other side of Kagame's story. According to the Rwanda scholar Filip Reyntjens, Kagame is "probably the worst war criminal in office today."

In 2002, Americans were warned by ABC News' Ted Koppel, who introduced the first documentary on the war in Democratic Republic of the Congo (Congo DRC) by stating,"At the heart of the continent, genocide in a tiny country [Rwanda], a genocide that horrified the world, brought chaos to a country almost 100 times its size [the Congo DRC], and you probably haven't heard a word…. It has claimed more lives than all the other current wars around the world combined. But outside of Africa, no one seems to have noticed." The program went on to observe, "[September 11th] was the day when 3,000 people died in the World Trade Center alone. In Congo, almost that many people have died each and every day." Kagame was the key instigator of these events.

In 2008, 40 Rwandan officers were prosecutedby the Spanish judge Fernando Andreu Merelles for "genocide, crimes against humanity and terrorism," and Kagame was implicated for claiming 4 million lives in his quest for geo-strategical supremacy. Protected by his immunity as a head of state, Kagame could not be indicted.

In 2010, the United Nations Human Rights Commission issued a mapping of human rights violations in the Congo DRC from 1993 to 2003, and raised the question of whether some of Kagame's actions might be classified "crimes of genocide."

At home, Kagame is ruling with an iron hand by quashing and eradicating the opposition and by muzzling the media. Victoire Ingabire, a Sakharov prize nominee, was arrested and jailed because she planned to run for the presidency. Patrick Karegeya, a former intelligence officer and close collaborator of Kagame's, was assassinated in a hotel in Johannesburg, South Africa. As a reaction, Kagame stated that treason brings consequences, adding that "anyone who betrays our cause or wishes our people ill will fall victim. What remains to be seen is how you fall victim." In 2014, soon after the BBC broadcasted "Rwanda's Untold Story," a documentary challenging Kagame and his role in the 1994 genocide, Rwanda pushed for criminal action against the channel, and BBC broadcasting was consequently suspended in Rwanda.

Over the last weeks, the international community has strongly criticized Kagame for obstructing the democratic transition of his own country, and for his destabilizing role in the African Great Lakes region. At a time when Africa is thirsty for sustainable democracy, Kagame – de-facto leader of Rwanda since 1994 – has set an adverse precedent by pushing a constitutional reform that granted himself the opportunity to stay in power until 2034. And ironically, the hero who once ended the 1994 mass killing in Rwanda is fueling a crisis in Burundi that may well lead to another genocide.

While not an open supporter of Kagame, Harvard has provided a powerful platform for Kagame on several occasions in the past. In 2001, when the war that Kagame fueled in the Congo DRC was costing thousands of lives every day, Kagame was invited to speak at the Harvard Kennedy School. In 2013, after the US and several European nations suspended aid to Rwanda amid allegations that Rwanda supported rebel insurgencies in Congo, Kagame spoke at the Harvard Business School as a guest of prominent professor Michael Porter. Now, despite growing criticisms from the international community, Kagame has once again been invited to speak at Harvard-related events. It is certain that the accommodation of Kagame by such a prestigious institution as Harvard has been fueling Kagame's propaganda both domestically and internationally.

Does Harvard want to keep letting its name be used by a ruthless dictator? I do not think so. It is hard to imagine that Harvard would open its doors to leaders that are responsible for similar such atrocities, such as Bashar al-Assad of Syria or Omar al-Bashir from Sudan.

By welcoming Kagame, Harvard is abdicating its moral responsibility to denounce tyrannical regimes and to give a voice to the voiceless. Our motto as a school is Veritas—truth. Yet this weekend, we find ourselves not speaking truth to power. This is wrong.

Sacha Yabili was born and raised in the Congo DRC, and he is a student at the Harvard Business School.

[AfricaRealities.com] Inventing The Enemy in Paul Kagame’s Rwanda

http://www.therwandan.com/blog/inventing-the-enemy-in-paul-kagames-rwanda/

Inventing The Enemy in Paul Kagame's Rwanda

February 19, 2016 22:20

We are witnessing in Rwanda horrific denunciations and terror whereby relatives denounce relatives, coworkers turn against each other, and friends denounce friends in a frightening frenzy. This frenzy gathered momentum since 2010 — but is climaxing in the early 2016. Currently in February 2016, Rwandans turn on radios to hear in the court of law former comrades-in-arms denying they are related to fellow military officers on trial for reading "wrong books." In the past 6 years, opponents of the regime — real or imagined are exiled, imprisoned, hunted down, and even assassinated both inside and outside the country. This is the time to quote the famous phrase — "the only lesson we learn from history is that we do not learn from history."

This madness we are witnessing in Rwanda is in fact a replay of history many times over in different parts of the world with disastrous consequences for both the perpetrators and victims.

I invite compatriots to read Wendy Goldman's book "Inventing the Enemy: Denunciation and Terror in Stalin's Russia." I promise you that after you read this book you will say "oh my God, this is precisely what is happening in Rwanda."

In a nutshell, the book "Inventing the Enemy" is about the period known as the "Great Terror" in the Soviet Union. The book demonstrates that at the height of the terror in 1937–38, the Soviet secret police arrested approximately 1.6 million people for "political crimes." More than 1.3 million were convicted, and about 683,000 executed.

Goldman's book, however, does not focus only on numbers. The main task of this shocking account is to reconstruct how ordinary people reacted to the terror and how they were affected by it. The book deals exhaustively with the events that created the poisonous climate of fear and denunciation that soon engulfed the country. The heart of the book is really about the breaking of ties among people at work and at home — and the poisoned/collapse of relations among coworkers, family, friends, and lovers. The book also describes how the terror came to an end as the most ardent proponents of terror were arrested and sent to the camps as "bawlers," or denouncers of the innocent. The book has a chapter titled "A History without Heroes," which analyzes all kinds of human behavior during the terror, and shows how ordinary citizens collaborated, participated in, and resisted the denunciations.

What is scary about "Inventing the Enemy" is how terror in Soviet Union introduced extra judicial trials. As more suspects were thrown into prison and subjected to brutal interrogation and torture, Soviet leaders became convinced of a vast conspiracy of the so-called "terrorists," both potential and real. Soviet rulers soon encouraged ordinary citizens to denounce those they suspected of disloyalty or treason. Many ordinary citizens denounced their neighbors, coworkers, and even family members.

Wendy Goldman's main argument — and indeed the overriding lesson of her book — is therefore that ordinary "citizens helped to create a political culture that supported the abrogation of civil liberties." Yet as more and more people were arrested, many others realized that they, too, might become victims. What began as anti-terror measures…became a true terror." In other words, the campaign launched by the state soon became "a full blown terror in which one's fellow citizens become rabid agents of denunciation and no one is safe."

Reading this book about events that happened that happened some 70 years ago, one would think that the author is describing what is happening in Rwanda today. We of course know how it all ended in Stalin's Russia. What we don't know is how the ongoing madness in Rwanda might end.

[AfricaRealities.com] Has Preacher Rick Warren Fallen Off Kagame’s Bandwagon?

https://medium.com/@dhimbara/has-preacher-rick-warren-fall-off-kagame-s-bandwagon-745be73444ca#.b3ycl0mub

Has Preacher Rick Warren Fallen Off Kagame's Bandwagon?

Rick Warren with Kagame at Saddleback Chuch — Saddleback Church Photo

On August 11, 2014, preacher Rick Warren, announced a historic and unprecedented gathering of pastors and church leaders from all 54 African nations. Other church leaders would come from all over the world to be part of this continental event.This gathering was to be held in Kigali, Rwanda, in August 2015.

The main purpose of the August 2015 conference was to showcase Rwanda's development achievements. As Warren explained back in 2014, the world had to see the impressive growth, development and progress Rwanda and its churches had made. "I have been working with and watching the churches of Rwanda for nearly 10 years, and I believe now is the time for them to be a model to the world," Warren stated. "I believe the secret to Middle East peace is in Rwanda," said Warren. "World leaders should be studying Rwanda. This should be the model."

Rick Warren had a lot more to say about why he was planning to host a historic conference in Rwanda in August 2015. In his own words, "most nations are validated by their strength in exports; Rwanda can become famous for exporting leadership…Rwanda should be the leadership and innovation capital of the continent of Africa. That is why I am calling leaders from across the continent to come to Rwanda next year to learn. The strength of Rwanda is not in the ground; it's in the people."

There was one problem.

The August 2015 conference never happened. Further, Rick Warren was a no show in Rwanda on February 20, 2016 at the annual prayer he normally attends.

It appears that Rick Warren is facing opposition from members of his Saddleback Church, unhappy with Warren's relationship with Paul Kagame.

In one particular incident, some American religious groups began to actively reach out to Saddleback Church members, and explained Kagame's politics and violence especially in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). These religious groups set up a website targeting members of Saddleback Church with messages such as these:

"Saddleback Church members, we are so glad that you came to this site, because we really want to talk to you as brothers and sisters in Christ…we love you, and we are very sad to tell you, your church is deeply hurting the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Pastors and churches, Christians of all shapes and sizes, are being killed because of something your church is doing, and the sad part is that you don't know it is happening. You mean well, but not understanding the culture and politics of Rwanda and The Democratic Republic of Congo has led your church to do things we know you don't mean to do. We all want our brothers and sisters everywhere in the world to know we care and love them right?

6,000,000 Congolese have died since 1996 in a war over minerals that gets very little attention in America. Saddleback is publicly and materially supporting men who are causing and exacerbating this conflict. While meaning to do good, your good intentions are being used to hurt your own brothers and sisters in Christ.

We know it is hard to believe and we know you love your church and Pastor Rick Warren. That is why we need your attention and your willingness to look at the sobering evidence. Perhaps you can help turn the hearts and minds of your leaders to help with this situation, and God will be glorified in that change of heart.

For the last three years we have reached out to Pastor Rick Warren and your missions pastor, Bob Bradberry, and they haven't heard us. They are good men, who we believe would want to do what is right IF they understood what they are supporting. According to Matthew 18, we are now taking it to you, the members of Saddleback Church, to see if you can help your pastors make Saddleback a greater force for good in Rwanda and The Democratic Republic of Congo.

This site has been put up just to reach out to you as fellow Christians and ask "can we talk?" Can you hear what we are telling you here on this site? Can you read the articles and watch the videos posted here and respond in a Jesus-like way to the suffering of your Congolese brothers and sisters we have documented? We hope you can. A lot of wonderful men, women, and children in The Democratic Republic of Congo are depending on you."

Could it be that Rick Warren, as a result of domestic pressure, has fallen off Kagame's bandwagon? We wait and see.

[AfricaRealities.com] Uganda:US calls for “immediate release” of Kizza Besigye

observer.ug, February 21, 2016

The US State Department has called for the immediate release of Dr Kizza Besigye, the Forum for Democratic Change presidential candidate and restoration of access to social media services in the country.

Besigye who came second in a controversial presidential race has been under house arrest since yesterday with the police calling it a 'preventive measure' to stop him from causing chaos in the city after he rejected the election results that the incumbent, President Museveni won by 60.7%. Besigye is not allowed to leave his home in Kasangati and visitors, lawyers and media have also been denied access to him or the house.

Social media services have been blocked by Uganda Communications Commission since Thursday morning although Ugandans have circumvented the blockage by downloading and installing more than 1.5 million virtual private networks (VPNs).

In a statement issued this morning, Mark C. Toner, the Deputy spokesperson of the State Department, says US is concerned with the house arrest of Besigye.

"We are also concerned by the continued house arrest of opposition presidential candidate Kizza Besigye. We call for his immediate release and the restoration of access to all social media sites," reads Tone's statement.

On the just concluded presidential elections, Toner notes that while the vote occurred without major unrest, there is need to acknowledge numerous reports of irregularities.

"We must acknowledge numerous reports of irregularities and official conduct that are deeply inconsistent with international standards and expectations for any democratic process," reads the statement.

Adding that, "Delays in the delivery of voting materials, reports of pre-checked ballots and vote buying, ongoing blockage of social media sites, and excessive use of force by the police, collectively undermine the integrity of the electoral process. The Ugandan people deserved better."

He also urges those opposed to the poll results to do so peacefully and in accordance with Uganda's laws and judicial process. Toner urges the Ugandan government to respect the rights and freedoms of its people and refrain from interference in those processes.

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

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.

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.

Susan Rice: a cheater, irresponsible and corrupt woman

Susan Rice: a cheater, irresponsible and corrupt woman: US and UN have supported and protecting the Rwandan dictator and war criminal Paul Kagame who has ordered and supported the death of almost 8 million people both in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Ms. Susan Rice has been at the forefront of trying to shield the Rwandan government, and Mr. Kagame in particular, from international censure, even as several United Nations reports have laid the blame for civilians massacred and genocide of Hutu community in DR Congo. Susan Rice advised Bill Clinton not to intervene in Rwanda to prevent the massacres of civilians by Kagame’s war and to prevent genocide in Rwanda and DR Congo. UK, Uganda and US opted to provide more arms, intelligence, media and diplomatic support to Kagame’s guerrilla war, which contributed to massacres of civilians and genocide of hutu and tutsi in Rwanda and DR Congo.

"British budget support killed our dads, mums, uncles and aunts, our sisters and brothers..."

Guilty of not speaking English: Tears, rapes, bloodshed, terror and horrors as the result of Museveni and Kagame’s liberation for the expansion of the East African Community to create a regional super state, of the British influence and of the English language to francophone countries of the African Great Lakes Region. British’s poor judgement of their geo-strategic ambitions and British endless and chronic rivalries against the French have led to human rights abuses and the killings of millions of innocent people in the Great Lakes Region.

Kagame’s licence to kill Hutu Refugees in DR.Congo

General Nkunda’s wars supported by Kagame through the British Budget support.

Museveni, Kagame and Nkunda ’s wars in D.R. Congo were funded by the British taxpayer’s money through the budget support and by the British private companies that illegally exploit minerals in D.R.Congo. The assassination of President Juvenal Habyarimana by Kagame was the only gateway to access to power in Rwanda, to help Museveni and the British create and Anglophone super state that includes Rwanda, Burundi and D.R.Congo and to continue the fighting for the regime change in DR.Congo that will lead to easier access to minerals in RD Congo and to the implementation of the UK and Museveni’s plans for East African Political Federation.

WHO WE ARE

THE CENTRE FOR AFRICA POLITICAL ADVOCACY.

· Never be discouraged from being an activist because people tell you that you'll not succeed. You have already succeeded if you're out there representing truth or justice or compassion or fairness or love(Doris Haddock).

· And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free [John 8:32].

· Tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

· The harder you try to suppress the truth, the more inevitable it is that it will find a way to come out. (Arianna Huffington).

· You cannot kill the truth. You cannot kill justice. You cannot kill what we are fighting for (Jean Dominique).

· Whenever you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth (Arthur Conan Doyle).

· I'm not going to give up. I can't give up. Not as long as the truth is out there( David Duchovny)

· Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained” (Gandhi).

. The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold (Aristotle)
