Stop Donating to West – PresidentDecember 21, 2012 By Leave a Comment Kigali — In a call to Rwandan counterparts to develop their industrial sector and export processed products, President Yoweri Museveni has urged Rwanda and other African countries to stop "donating" their wealth to the West. In his key note speech at a dinner hosted in his favour as chief guest to mark the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) at Serena Kigali hotel last evening, Museveni stressed that by exporting unprocessed products, Rwanda and other countries "donate" a lot of wealth to the West. "We should stop being donors. Lack of industrialization and selling of unprocessed products coupled with a small internal market makes us one of the biggest donors," he said to applause from the delegates gathered to celebrate the country's liberation from the genocidal regime RPF ousted. "A small internal market linked with production of the same products means we cannot develop these economies with lack of industrialization and selling of unprocessed products. We should stop being donors," he emphasised. Among other bottlenecks to Africa's development, he listed an underdeveloped services sector, un-commercialized agricultural sector, and lack of democracy. Museveni who began his speech in Kinyarwanda congratulated RPF on their 25th anniversary, saying they turned a very hopeless situation into a situation of hope. "Whenever I came here after we had captured Kabale in 1985 fighting for our freedom. leaders of Rwanda were telling me that Rwandese are too many and cannot fit in the country so some should be taken to Gabon. But now I am glad to hear a different tune from Kigali. That's what I used to tell late Juvenal Habyarimana that how come Holland the same size as Rwanda with 16 million Dutch can fit and Rwanda 7million people cannot?" he asked. He dismissed as "mere hallucinations" propaganda that African people are of different castes and cannot live together. "This is something I rejected long ago. Africans are divided into four groups ; the Niger-Congo group of Langi, the Nile-Saharan group of Northern Uganda and parts of Kenya, South Sudan and Ethiopia, the Afro-Asiatic Amharic group and Koisan or Bushmen of South Africa," he said. These tribes, he added, are interlinked linguistically and culturally. "I rejected the idea that African people are so divided that they have no linkages; this is rubbish and has no truth. The only problem is that these groups were not governed together and we had these small Kingdoms. It is that lack of being governed together that caused this aberration that we are different yet we are not," he stressed. Other strategic bottlenecks to Africa's unity and development, he added, are ideological disorientation which makes people think tribal. "In Uganda I am a Munyankore but what is my real interest as an individual? Prosperity to live a nice life. How will my Banyankore help me when they also rear cattle and can't buy milk from me or me from them?" he asked. He said tribes are interdependent on each other since he sells his milk in Kampala to all Ugandans just like Ugandans had flocked to Rwanda for economic opportunities that are not enough in Uganda, there is need to discourage sectarianism. He urged other countries like Kenya and Nigeria plagued by religious and tribal sectarianism to think harder about the issue. Africa's independence , he added was delayed, hence delay in stat e formation like in Somalia, DRC where the army, Police and civil service are still not developed. "Because of this ideological disorientation, where will you get the cadres to for example build an army which is an expensive enterprise?" he asked. Other weaknesses he listed are attacking the private sector like Idi Amin's expulsion of Indians yet they were buttressing the economy, and contributing to GDP and GNP and wondered why same size countries like South Korea and China should be richer that Uganda, Kenya or Tanzania. Other bottle necks he catalogued are an underdeveloped Human Resource, inadequate infrastructure, power underdeveloped service and agriculture industry and lack of democracy. In his remarks, President Paul Kagame bestowed upon Museveni the Honorary membership of an RPF mentor. "We say this with sense of having been connected to the struggle for the liberation of Uganda," he said. He called for greater unity, collaboration and solidarity within African people in order to command respect from other nations of the world and to create conditions for social economic development of their peoples. "We owe it to our people and cannot afford to fail because we set ourselves the task to deliver to the expectations of the people are we are ready to work to achieve this success and solidarity. The RPF marks its Silver Jubilee today and President Museveni will be the guest of honour. |

The dictator Kagame at UN
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.

Stop Donating to West – President
-“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 enemies of Freedom do not argue ; they shout and they shoot.”
-“The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.”
-“The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
-“I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.”
The Rwanda war of 1990-1994 had multiple dimensions.
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
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.

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

Aid that kills: The British Budget Support financed Museveni and Kagame’s wars in Rwanda and DRC.
Dictator Kagame: No remorse for his unwise actions and ambitions that led to the Rwandan genocide.
Fanatical, partisan, suspicious, childish and fawning relations between UK and Kagame

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.
-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.
Museveni‘s assessment of Rwanda‘s population compared to the Netherands‘ population is wrong. Rwanda has no capacity and resources to maintain such high population size. This is why there is lot of Rwanda economic migrants in neighbouring countries and even in the Southern Region. Also, the war in DR Congo being supported by Rwanda is caused by overpopulation in Rwanda. Kagame and Rwandan people are worried of the impacts of Rwandan’s overpopulation. They do not know where to live in 10 years to come.
