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.

Rwanda: The Victims Who Weren't Commemorated

| by Andy Piascik

( May 10, 2014, Boston, Sri Lanka Guardian) A solemn ceremony was held
in Rwanda last month to mark the 20thanniversary of the mass killings
in that country in 1994. Corporate media from the United States and
the rest of the world covered the event in some depth, underscoring
the horrible deaths of hundreds of thousands killed by the state and
Hutu civilians. Dignitaries and politicians from around the world,
including several from the United States, attended a commemorative
event that included an emotional reenactment of the bloodletting.


Entirely uncommented on was the sickening spectacle of Rwandan
dictator Paul Kagame overseeing the event. Kagame, a long-time servant
of US business interests and a mass killer in his own right, set in
motion fighting that culminated in the terrible events of 1994 by
invading Rwanda from neighboring Uganda in 1990. A Tutsi, Kagame was
one of the elite class that went into exile rather than live under a
government of the majority Hutus. Information published by a wide
spectrum of researchers, most notably from the United Nations, has
determined that Kagame's Rwandan Patriotic Front killed tens of
thousands of people from 1990-94 and several hundred thousand more
during the period that has become known as the Rwandan Genocide.
Because Kagame is supported by the United States, however, those
crimes have been buried with the dead and no public ceremony has been
held in the last 24 years to honor those killed by the RPF.

Kagame's goal from the outset of his 1990 invasion was the overthrow
of the government of Rwanda, and he continually violated ceasefire
agreements to that end. In fact, it was the shooting down in April
1994 of a plane on which Rwandan dictator Juvenal Habyarimana was a
passenger, with a preponderance of the evidence pointing to the RPF as
the responsible party, that set in motion the 100 days of mass
killings. Habyarimana was killed, as was fellow passenger Cyprien
Ntaryamira, the president of Burundi, and ten others.

Much has been made since of the Clinton administration and the
international community's failure to act. In reality, the US was
proactive in preventing the UN and anyone else from taking measures
that might have prevented much of the killing. Former United Nations
Secretary General Boutros Boutros Gali, for one, has put the entire
blame for what happened in Rwanda in the 1990's on the United States.
And even though Kagame continues to claim, as he did in 1994, that his
Hutu ethnic group was targeted in a pre-planned act of the Rwandan
government, he also successfully opposed international efforts that
might have curtailed the bloodshed. Further puncturing Kagame's claims
is the fact that Rwanda and France, its primary international ally,
supported international action to stop the killing. We can only
surmise that the mass killing of Kagame's fellow Tutsis was acceptable
to him and the US so long as the end result was his complete victory
in the fighting and ascension to power. In addition, it's been
well-documented that many of the Tutsis killed were killed not by
Hutus or the Rwandan government but by Kagame's forces because Kagame
considered fellow Tutsis who had remained in Rwanda as untrustworthy
or collaborators.

Researchers Christian Davenport and Allan Stam are among those who
have investigated the events of 1994. Under the auspices of USAID's
International Criminal Tribune for Rwanda, Davenport and Stam, like
many investigators from the West, began their project assuming that
the Rwandan government and rampaging Hutu civilians were responsible
for virtually all of the killing. As their investigation progressed,
however, they discovered more and more evidence indicating the RPF was
also responsible for a great deal of killing. When, during their
investigation, they presented some of that evidence to a meeting that
included high-ranking members of Kagame's government and military,
some in the audience became enraged and one military man cut off their
presentation and ordered Davenport and Stam removed by force. Kagame
subsequently barred them from ever returning to Rwanda. (see

http://www.psmag.com/navigation/politics-and-law/what-really-happened-in-rwanda-3432/).

More instructive for how the US was determined to spin the story of
exclusive Hutu responsibility and Kagame as the savior of the day was
USAID's termination of Davenport and Stam's research project and
refusal to publish or in any way make known their findings. UN
investigations that produced similar results were likewise suppressed
by the United States. As with the wars that ravaged Yugoslavia in the
1990's and their aftermath, to cite just one concurrent example, the
West and the US in particular were determined that no findings that
reflected the responsibility of anyone but the designated bad guys
would see the light of day. In both instances, mass killings and other
crimes committed by US clients Kagame, Franjo Tudjman of Croatia,
Alija Izetbgovic and Atif Dudakovic of Bosnia, the Kosovo Liberation
Army and the United States itself were whitewashed. Crucial to the
Rwandan story is the lie that April 1994 marks the beginning of the
terrible events, as if Kagame's 1990 invasion and the intervening
deaths of many thousands never happened.

For its part, the US was looking to supplant France, its chief
imperial rival in Central Africa, and increase corporate investment in
the area, especially in the bordering Congo, one of the world's most
resource-rich nations. To that end, Kagame twice invaded the Congo not
long after taking over Rwanda, launching what Edward Herman has
described as his second act of genocide. As with the invasion of
Rwanda, the invasions of the Congo came with crucial US military
training, armaments and diplomatic support.

Western plunder of the Congo dates to the 19th century and the
murderous rule of Belgian King Leopold II, whose insatiable lust for
wealth was responsible for the deaths of up to 15 million Congolese.
Revolutionary forces finally achieved independence in 1960 but it took
Congolese reactionaries and their Belgian and CIA helpers all of three
months to overthrow and eventually murder Patrice Lumumba, the
nation's first elected Prime Minister. When US puppet Mobutu Sese Soko
was put in power, all semblance of independence vanished as Western
investors once again took control, and they made Mobutu a
multibillionaire for his efforts on their behalf. By the time Kagame
invaded the Congo the first time, Mobutu had fallen out of favor. His
dictatorial ways had become an international embarrassment, plus the
US didn't like that he was keeping too much of the swag for himself.
In addition, they had Kagame who, in his eagerness to be the US's new
client, was as pliant as Mobutu had ever been.

US support of Kagame's invasions of the Congo has proven a remarkable
success, as his wars of terror paved the way to a massive increase in
American investments (and profits) in copper, cobalt, coltan and
diamonds. During that time, the number of Congolese who have been
killed in the fighting or died because of starvation, disease and
other causes traced directly to Kagame's invasions is perhaps ten
times as many as died during the Rwandan Genocide, and the dying goes
on and on right up to this moment. Yet Kagame has been hailed again
and again by Bill Clinton, Madeline Albright, George Bush II, Samantha
Power, Susan Rice and other flacks for US imperialism as a hero and
"the man who ended the Rwandan Genocide."

The ruling class and their media stenographers have brought us through
the looking class big-time: war is peace, lies are truth, and
genocidists are liberators. They cannot entirely erase the truth,
however, and information about what really happened in Rwanda as
documented by Davenport, Stam and many others has become available.
Kagame, meanwhile, is hard at work sending hit squads around the world
to assassinate exiled opponents of his regime, his job of laying the
groundwork for increased US corporate plunder done, and done very
well. That is why he was allowed to oversee last month's ceremony and
why virtually nothing was said in the mainstream about those who died
by his hand to make Central Africa safe for US imperialism. It will be
up to those who live in a future world free of Empire to honor them in
the manner they deserve.

-“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.

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.
