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.

THE ICTR : AN INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL WITH A FLAWED JURISPRUDENCE. « In 1996, the United Nations told the world that they could not find the whereabouts of well over 500,000 Hutu refugees in Congo. The statement was so casual and flippant, it sounded like someone who cannot find their car keys or a piece of earring.
11038929_919273338136046_1385319171781331711_nLong before this in 1994, the RPF ravaged the northern part of Rwanda, killing thousands of Hutus on its way, and forced over a million people into internally displaced camps to die of diseases, hunger, and miserable conditions that are prevalent in these types of places. »-Daniel Murinzi.
Before 1994, the idea that individuals controlling the apparatus of a State to commit genocide,crimes against humanity or war crimes was unknown to many African Countries until the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal For Rwanda. Resolution 955 adopted in 1994 stated that one purpose of the ICTR would be to contribute to national reconciliation and the restoration and maintenance of peace.
Yet, it is in the public domain that the United Nations released a report 3 years suggesting that the Kagame government may be involved in supporting armed groups in eastern DR Congo. So far, the ICTR has been unable to undertake cases involving the RPF Accused,and this has created a sense of impunity among members of the current government like General Karenzi and lead to continued instability in the region,as well as contribute to a feeling of persecution among the Hutus.
The ICTR's failure to emphasise on the individual criminal accountability of the accused has been a cause of concern over the years.Many Accused persons have refuted charges highly premised on collective responsibility. Whilst the ICTY managed to indict individuals from all sides in the conflict,and has generally been praised to do so,the ICTR has been accused of applying « victor's justice » as it has never indicted any members of the RPF.
This could be attributed to a number of things:
  • Before the establishment of the ICTR by the Security Council,the Rwandan RPF Government voted against the Tribunal objecting,amongst other things,that it would not administer the death penalty.From the onset,the RPF was clear in its resolution.They wanted to erase all their opponents.
  • Although,The UN Commission investigating the 1994 alleged genocide concluded that the RPF had committed war crimes during 1994,it has seemingly been impossible for the ICTR to indict RPF members like General Karenzi for a variety of political and legal obstacles. Worse off Rwanda has enacted laws that refrain ordinary Rwandans from challenging the RPF's version of the 1994 alleged genocide.
The cases of Victoire Umuhoza Ingabire, Peter Erlinder and Kizito have served as precedents to compel other Rwandans to discuss the 1994 massacres in such a manner that conforms with the RPF propaganda. The temporal juridiction of the ICTR was so restrictive in order for the RPF to evade its juridiction and commit further crimes against humanity whenever it was convenient for them. The RPF Government stressed that the Tribunal include crimes committed between the 1/01/1994-31/12/­­1994.
It has been documented that this mandate was borne out of a compromise.Initially­­,the Rwandan Government had suggested that the mandate run from 7 April to 15 July 1994 which was objected to by the Security Council. Driven by a sense of guilt,the international community felt pressured to establish an Ad Hoc International tribunal under the most questionable circumstances. The ICTR failed to foresee the danger of continued violence and even renewed genocidal attacks against the Hutus after 1994.
THE CASE OF EMMANUEL KARENZI KARAKE
Spanish investigative judge Andreu Merelles indicted Gen Karake in 2008 for alleged war crimes, along with 39 other current or former high-ranking Rwandan military officials. Paul Kagame is likely to evade the juridiction of the Spanish Court due to his shield of 'presidential immunity' which he will maintain at all costs even if it means using unconstitutional means to change to constitution to allow him and his 'ABEGA' minions to cling on to power at the expense of ordinary poor Rwandans.
Karenzi Karake was detained at London's Heathrow Airport on Saturday, in response to a European Arrest Warrant. General Karake is accused by Spain of ordering massacres in the wake of the 1994 Rwanda genocide. All accusations General Karake is facing include:
  • Accused of ordering massacres after the 1994 genocide while head of military intelligence,
  • Wanted for genocide, crimes against humanity and terrorism,
  • Accused of ordering the killing of Spanish aid workers in 1997.
  • He is accused of killing ethnic Hutu civilians in both Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo, after the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) came to power in 1994. The 10,000,000 people (mostly Bantu) who died in the Great Lakes region deserve more than just what a Spanish Court may offer. The international Community should set up a international criminal tribunal to address this crisis which clearly falls in the realm of international law.
Over the years,Rwandans (Tutsi­­ and Hutus) have fled and sought refuge in various parts of the world.This clearly illustrates how the ICTR divided more Rwandans than it ever reconciled. As for the FDLR in the DR Congo jungle,more needs to be done. They too are victims of the RPF propaganda. They have been acting out of necessity and self- defense as noone knows when Paul Kagame may strike. If Rwandan refugees are not safe in South Africa or Canada (see the untimely death of Patrick Karegeya), what of people who are only a few miles from Kigali?
The focus of the UN should be placed on finding durable solutions for innocent women and children of Rwandan origin who are busy perishing in the jungles of DR Congo without any international assistance. Furthermore, a legal regime must be set up to prosecute the masterminds of the massacres of 10,000,000 people (mostly innocent Bantu women and children) in the Great Lakes region. Vampires, psychopaths­ and deranged people like General Karenzi should not be offered the decency of exonerating themselves in municipal courts. They must be isolated from the general public in an international facility until called by an impartial international tribunal.

-“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 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.
