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.

U.S. Secretary of State keeps his distance on African tour despite
Uganda's role in South Sudan

As U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry set off for his five-nation tour
of Africa on May 1, the expectation was that the conflict in South
Sudan would dominate. It did not.

The first indication of this was when Kerry's itinerary was announced
and it emerged that he would be skirting Uganda and Kenya and not
meeting with presidents Yoweri Museveni and Uhuru Kenyatta, the main
drivers of the effort, respectively, to protect the legitimate
government and end the conflict in Juba.

Instead, Secretary Kerry would meet embattled South Sudan President
Salva Kiir, Somalia's President Hassan Sheik Mohamud, and DR Congo's
Joseph Kabila.

Regional analysts who spoke to The Independent said Kiir and Sheik
Hassan are barely in a position to guarantee anything to Kerry and
America because without Museveni and Kenyatta's forces and diplomatic
effort in Somalia and Juba, both would be out of a job in minutes.
Kabila, meanwhile, owes his 13-year reign in the DR Congo to the
presence of the biggest UN peace mission in the world with over 20,000
troops from over 30 countries.

To put any flesh on his bare-bones meeting with Kiir, Sheik Hassan,
and Kabila, Secretary Kerry needed to have met with Museveni and
Kenyatta. Instead, the only representatives of Uganda and Kenya to
meet Kerry were the foreign ministers.

Kerry met them on May 1 in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa. Their
talks covered the conflicts in South Sudan, the Central Africa
Republic, DR Congo, and Nigeria. In south Sudan, they agreed that
regional nations would send troops as part of a force to help stop the
fighting.

"I think it is clear that everybody is in agreement that killing must
stop, that humanitarian access needs to be delivered,>> Kerry told
reporters after the meeting. He added that Washington <<fully supports
African-led efforts to confront the most deadly conflicts of the
continent.>>

The South Sudan peace talks that had stalled resumed again for Kerry's
benefit. The U.S. was at the centre of the international effort that
won South Sudan its independence from Sudan in 2011. Now, Uganda and
Kenya are the one's ensuring that the world's youngest nation is not a
still birth. Kerry was fully aware of this. When he gave a major
policy speech in the Gullele Botanical Park on May 3, he pledged
support.

He said: "We will continue to provide financial and logistical support
to African Union-led efforts in Somalia, where al-Shahaab is under
significant pressure.

"We will continue to support the African Union Regional Task Force
against the Lord's Resistance Army, where LRA-related deaths have
dropped by 75 percent, and hundreds of thousands have returned to
their homes."

But part of the reason the Kerry-Museveni-Kenyatta meetings did not
happen could be down to the U.S's agenda at home.

Anti-gay law trouble

Although President Museveni is the U.S's leading ally in the regional
peace effort in South Sudan and the DR Congo, and the war against
terror in Somalia, the American government has publicly ostracised him
since he signed into law the Ant-homosexuality Act in February.

The U.S. President, Barack Obama warned Museveni: "enacting this
legislation will complicate our valued relationship with Uganda".

Secretary Kerry followed by describing the signing of the law as "atrocious".

He said: "What is happening in Uganda is atrocious and it presents all
of us with an enormous challenge because LGBT rights are human right
and the signing of this anti-homosexuality law is flat out morally
wrong. "This anti-gay movement is obviously bubbling up in various
places around the world; it is not just an African problem, it's a
global problem, and we are wrestling with it and we are going to as we
go forward."

The U.S., which annually injects about US$400 million in Uganda, said
it is reviewing ties. The World Bank, which has a strong presence in
Uganda with a portfolio of projects worth about US$1.5 billion,
immediately withheld a US$90 million loan for the health sector.

Representatives of 18 European donor countries followed with stern
statements of intent to withhold aid. They represented Sweden, Canada,
Britain, Ireland, and Italy. Others were France, Iceland, Denmark,
Finland, Norway, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

The U.S's continued snubbing of Museveni could also be designed to
show concern over what appears to be Uganda's unfaltering march off
the democratic path and increasing likelihood of failure to transfer
power peacefully.

President Museveni has been in power for about 30 years and shows no
clear plan of ensuring that he will leave office without a violent
fight. In fact, his government has become increasing intolerant of any
opposition to Museveni. It has jailed supporters of Prime Minister
Amama Mbabazi who is said to harbor ambitions to unseat Museveni
within their NRM party, hounded a leading army general into exile for
suggesting that Museveni is grooming his son, Brig. Muhoozi
Kainerugaba, to take power, and terrorized opposition leaders like Dr.
Kizza Besigye and his Forum for Democratic Change Party into near
submission.

Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta's democratic credential might not be
as shambolic as Museveni's, but the U.S. appears to be wary of
diplomatic mine fields as it embraces him. Kenyatta and his deputy,
William Ruto are inductees of the International Criminal Court (ICC)
over crimes against humanity they allegedly committed over seven years
ago when post-election violence swept through Kenya, a country to
which Obama owes partial ancestry.

The U.S. is not a signatory to the ICC Statute, and Kenyatta and Ruto
are cooperating with the court. However, Obama has appeared reluctant
to invite Kenyatta to the White House. That could change soon as
Kenyatta and 47 African heads of state head to Washington DC for the
US-Africa Leadership Summit to be hosted by Obama on August 5-6.

Kenyatta's Washington card

Until Kenyatta got his invitation in January, Obama appeared to be
treating him like an unwanted but important regional ally.

Some expected that Kenyatta would join another eight heads that would
not be invited, notably from Egypt, Zimbabwe, Central Africa Republic
(CAR), Guinea Bissau, Eritrea, and Sudan, who were actually not
invited. When the Summit was announced in January, the official
White House statement said President Obama was looking to "further
strengthen ties with one of the world's most dynamic and
fastest-growing regions".

"The Summit will build on the progress made since the President's trip
to Africa last summer, advance the Administration's focus on trade and
investment in Africa, and highlight America's commitment to Africa's
security, its democratic development, and its people."

Now, the Washington trip is likely to publicly thaw the ice between
Obama and Kenyatta. Should that happen, instead of being locked in
the same out-house with Museveni as important but embarrassing allies,
Kenyatta could be moved to warmer diplomatic quarters. Museveni would
be left alone in that cold corner. But that too is not guaranteed. As
secretary Kerry's schmoosing with the octogenarian President Jose
Eduardo Dos Santos of Angola, American foreign policy has not stopped
following the money and betting on the winning horse.

President Dos Santos has been in power longer than Museveni; 35 years
to be exact. And he is no democrat. He is called the 20 billion dollar
president because that is his alleged personal wealth, a sum he is
alleged to have siphoned from the country through shell companies,
according to J.R. Mailey, a researcher at the Africa Center for
Strategic Studies working on natural resources, corruption and
security in Africa.

His office has a budget of US$ 1.8 billion but his expenses were,
officially, US$ 69 billion. His family is all wealthy from bleeding
the economy and his eldest daughter, Isabel Dos Santos, aged 40, is
the only female billionaire in Africa.

Kerry met with him.

In previews of the trip, people familiar with the details said Kerry's
plan for Luanda was to commend this man for "Angola's leadership in
the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region and Angola's
push for solutions for crises in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
and the Central African Republic."

On the side, Kerry would "discuss bilateral policy and trade issues
with Foreign Minister Georges Chikoti".

It was not lost on observers that at the time Kerry was in Angola,
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang was also travelling to African nations. He
too stopped in Angola where he discussed energy and other trade deals
with Dos Santos. Kerry, when he gave a major policy speech in the
Gullele Botanical Park on May 3, showed that his trip was focused less
on the conflicts on the continent, including South Sudan, and more on
America's determination to invest in Africa's young entrepreneurs,
natural resources, agriculture, and energy sectors. He said
Washington was discovering that, at the beginning of the 21st century,
both the U.S. and Africa want a lasting and more grounded
relationship; "one that is not reflective, but visionary and
strategic".

Focusing on conflicts and South Sudan is reflective while focusing on
trade and natural resources exploitation is strategy, Kerry implied.

"I have absolutely no doubt that this could be an inflection point for
the new Africa, a time and a place where Africans bend the arc of
history towards reform, and not retribution; towards peace and
prosperity, not revenge and resentment," he said.

"I say this unabashedly, too," he said in a speech entitled
`Commitment to Africa', "we want more American companies to be here."

Museveni does not offer the same trade prospects for America, as do
Dos Santos, Kabila, Hassan Mohamud and Salva Kiir. Those were Kerry's
real destination.

-“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

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.

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.
