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.

[RwandaLibre] The Observer - 4 hours ago: US sanctions delivered through telephone call

 

US sanctions delivered through telephone call

The Observer - 4 hours ago
SUNDAY, 22 JUNE 2014 22:17 WRITTEN BY EDWARD SSEKIKA 4 COMMENTS   

The government said at the weekend that it had not received formal
notification of American sanctions, days after the Obama
administration punished Uganda for enacting the locally popular
anti-homosexuality law.

On Thursday, the US announced that it had cut aid to Uganda, imposed
visa restrictions, and canceled a regional military exercise. Uganda
was punished for its Anti-Homosexuality Act, assented to in February,
which imposes harsh punishments for homosexuality and homosexual
crimes.

James Mugume, the permanent secretary in the ministry of Foreign
Affairs, told The Observer Uganda was yet to receive formal
communication on the sanctions.

"So, we don't know who is on the travel ban, whether all Ugandans have
been banned or selected individuals perceived to be anti-gay. It was a
blanket statement; they simply called our ambassador to the US [Oliver
Wonekha] and explained to her verbally," Mugume said by telephone.

The yet-to-be released list of sanctioned could include names such as
MP David Bahati, the mover of the law; Speaker of Parliament Rebecca
Kadaga, who promised to pass the law as a Christmas gift to Ugandans
in 2012; Fr Simon Lokodo, the junior minister for Ethics and
Integrity; as well as political and religious leaders who spoke loudly
in support of the law.

Mugume said the sanctions were in response largely to the anti-gay law
and not corruption as the US government wants people to believe. The
sanctions come just a week after the election of Foreign Affairs
Minister Sam Kutesa as president of the United Nations General
Assembly. Some activists in Western nations had opposed Kutesa's
election due to Uganda's position on homosexuality.

It was Africa's turn to assume the presidency and Kutesa was the
continent's unanimous choice. Responding to the aid cuts, Mugume said
government had already directed the ministries of Internal Affairs,
Defence and Health – heavily targeted by the sanctions – to calculate
how much aid has been cut, so that government can adjust accordingly.

He was optimistic that since the country expected the aid cuts after
passing the Anti-Homosexuality Act, there would be no drastic impact
on activities. In March this year, at a thanksgiving ceremony
organised by the Inter-religious Council of Uganda to thank President
Museveni for signing the law, the president said he was mindful of the
American support towards HIV/Aids programmes before he assented to the
law.

He was convinced that even in the face of US aid cuts, the government
would support the estimated 1.5 million Ugandans on ARVs.

"Our friends, the Americans, were handling mainly these health issues,
especially our Aids people. Remember we have got 1.5 million people
who have got Aids today. So before I signed this bill, I had to check
with Dr [Ruhakana] Rugunda [minister of Health], on how much the
Americans were giving us? I was told $450 million [about Shs 1
trillion].

But not much of that money is used usefully; some of it is being used
just for kulya [eating]…… I asked how much of it is used for buying
ARVs. Then Dr Diana and others calculated and found that we need about
Shs 350bn. I said okay if it is 350bn, if our American friends are so
careless and they want to cut off the aid so that 1.5 million people
die, then we shall fund it ourselves," Museveni said.

Minister Kutesa, now president of the UN General Assembly, was quoted
by Germany's Deutsche Welle TV as saying that Uganda would find
resources elsewhere to fill the gap.

"It is assistance, we need it, but if someone chooses to take it away,
it their decision," he reportedly said.

Henry Okello Oryem, the minister of state for Foreign Affairs on
Saturday described the sanctions as unfortunate. "The sanctions were
based on a subject matter [Anti-Homosexuality Act] which was
democratic and fully passed by the Parliament of Uganda. So, as
government, we are not going to have any formal response to the
sanctions," he said.

David Bahati, Ndorwa East MP, the main sponsor of the
Anti-Homosexuality Bill, said there were many other places Ugandans
could travel to outside the US.

"The Obama administration is playing on the minds of the American
people for reasons I don't know. They are trying to divert Americans
from debating the failed US foreign policy," he said. "No amount of
intimidation and coercion will force the people of Uganda to accept
values we don't believe in."

Jacqueline Kasha, a lesbian and prominent Ugandan rights activist,
told AFP that the sanctions were long overdue: "The impact will be
huge but Uganda needed to be held accountable. We have a
state-sponsored hate campaign looming over our heads. It's an
atmosphere of anxiety, depression and stress.

"So taking this strong action on Uganda will send a clear message to
the rest of the countries that they will be consequences for their
inhumane decisions and actions."

Sanctions

The US will also halt $2.4m in funding for a Ugandan community
policing program in light of a police raid on a US-funded health
programme at Makerere University and reports of people detained and
abused while in police custody.

The government will also reallocate $3m in funding for a planned
national public health institute in Uganda to another African country,
which it did not name. A National Institutes of Health genomics
meeting would be moved from Uganda to South Africa, the White House
said.

Uganda is a key Western ally in the fight against Islamic extremism in
Somalia, where Ugandan troops provide the backbone of the African
Union force battling al Qaeda-aligned militants. However, the support
for the hunt for Joseph Kony, the elusive rebel commander seeking to
topple the Ugandan government will not be affected.

Although Western nations and rights activists have attacked the
anti-gay legislation, the law is immensely popular across Uganda's
religious, political and ethnic divides. Dozens of other countries
across the world have similar laws to Uganda's.

-“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. 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.

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.
