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.

Uhuru hits back at the US over criticism

The law becomes effective starting Monday when it is expected to be published.
("Kenya has no Guantanamo Bay," said Mr Kenyatta in a statement from State House.)

President Uhuru Kenyatta on Saturday reacted strongly to a statement by the US Government criticising the passage of the controversial security law which he signed on Friday.
The law becomes effective starting Monday when it is expected to be published.
At the same time, Cord leader Raila Odinga said the Opposition would call for mass protests if the courts did not stop the new laws (see separate story).
In a move that is likely to test the fragile relations between Nairobi and the Barack Obama administration, the President said that criticising the new law was a "clear indication that the US had decided to go with the view of the noisemakers rather than the Security (Amendment Act) itself".
"First, our law is better than the American Patriot and Homeland Security Acts that give rogue powers to security agencies. In the US, FBI and intelligence officers have a carte blanche in the fight against terrorism and biological warfare.
But our law has provided checks by courts of law. What is more, Kenya has no Guantanamo Bay," said Mr Kenyatta in a statement from State House.
SECURITY LAWS CRITICISED
A terse statement from the US State Department had on Friday criticised the controversial new security laws, saying they undermined human rights, democracy and Kenya's international obligations.
"We are disappointed, however, by the very limited time allowed for debate and consultation on the security Bill prior to its passage and enactment into law.
We are also concerned about several provisions in the legislation, including those that appear to limit freedom of assembly and media, and access to asylum for refugees," said the statement signed by Jen Psaki, the spokesperson for the US State Department.
The statement also took issue with the recent deregistration of 525 non- governmental organisations for their suspected links to terrorism, and demanded answers from the Kenya Government on the criteria used to kick them out.
The US added that whereas it supported Kenya's efforts to fight terrorism, it expected the government to ensure that any measures to deal with the threat "live up to Kenya's international commitments and its own constitution".
"Protecting Kenya's constitution and upholding human rights, democracy, and international obligations are among the most effective ways to bolster security," the statement said.
UNDERSTAND LAWS FIRST
But the statement from President Kenyatta, which was signed by State House official Munyori Buku, asked the US Government to take time and understand the laws before criticising the Kenya Government.
"Our law doesn't curtail the freedom of assembly and the State Department should read the law as passed, and not go by what its associates want them to believe," said the statement.
The statement also defended the government's move to deregister hundreds of non- governmental organisations, saying the decision was final.
"The statement questions a decision by a government department that deregistered rogue non- governmental organisations and put on notice  those that flout the law. non- governmental organisations aren't above the law and they must answer to the authorities.
Isn't it peculiar that a foreign government appears sympathetic to  organisations that think the law is an irritating irrelevance?"
The US stance appeared to capture the mood of the West towards the passing of the security laws in an acrimonious session characterised by fistfights, heckling and name-calling on Thursday.
BROADER CONSULTATIONS
Prior to the debate, nine Western envoys had called for broader consultations and consensus building before the Bill could be debated.
In a joint statement issued in Nairobi, the envoys from the US, Britain, Canada, Sweden, France, Denmark, Netherlands and Australia called on MPs to take their time and carefully review the Bill and consult broadly to build consensus.
They noted that protecting Kenya's constitution and upholding civil liberties and democracy were the most effective ways of bolstering security. "It is important that the legislation, while strengthening security, respects human rights and international obligations," they said.
On the de-registration of non- governmental organisations, the US Government stated that a strong civil society was vital to democracy, security and prosperity.
"We urge the Government of Kenya to ensure the regulation of NGOs is transparent, fair, and grounded in clear criteria that do not limit free expression, association, or assembly," said the State Department.
Information and Communication Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i said the US Government statement does not address any substance of the law.
"It simply parrots and adds to the yet-to-be-substantiated chorus of Kenya's political opposition establishment about the illegality and/or unconstitutionality of the law in point.
Without any credible reference to the substance of the law in reference, it is clear the speculative and general statement was issued before reading the (new laws)."
BILL OF RIGHTS
He criticised the Obama Administration for the "patronising and prefectorial" tone of the statement.
"One wonders on what basis the US Government is 'seeking further information on the December 16 announcement by the Kenya NGO Board'.
The Kenya Government neither reports to the US Government nor manages the affairs of the country under the patronage of our development partners," Dr Matiang'i said.
The Kenya Government, the minister said, was committed to protecting all citizens under the Bill of Rights as enshrined in the Constitution.
"Freedom of the press is our chosen way of life in Kenya. Nothing will take it away or interfere with it. Demanding professional responsibility on the part of media practitioners is what all Kenyans expect their democratically elected government to do."
The government statement came as the government defended itself against criticism from the opposition that some critical procedures were flouted in the passage of the Bill.
Giving a chronology of events that preceded the embarrassing scenes that dominated the debate on the controversial laws, National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale claimed that MPs from both sides of the political divide had met and agreed on amendments to the contentious clauses in the Bill prior to the debate.
BUILDING CONSENSUS
"Members from both sides of the coalitions participated in harmonisation and clean-up of the Bill to ensure the provisions passed by the National Assembly do not in any way infringe on the Bill of Rights," said Mr Duale.
He said that 22 MPs (11 from the opposition Cord) met the National Security Committee on Tuesday evening to agree on amendments to the Bill.
"It was collectively agreed that in areas where there was no consensus, each of the members concerned would move their amendments on the floor of the House," Mr Duale said at a press conference on Friday.
He noted that three House committees took time to build consensus on the Bill by accommodating views from more than 34 groups and individuals.

-“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 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

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.
