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 Peace and Security Council of the African Union (AU), at its 551st meeting held on 17 October 2015, adopted the following decision on the situation in Burundi:

Council,

1.    Takes note of the briefing provided by the Commissioner for Peace and Security on the evolution of the situation in Burundi, as well as of the additional information provided by the AU human rights observers and military experts in Burundi. Council also takes note of the statement made by the representative of Burundi;

2.    Recalls its earlier pronouncements on the situation in Burundi, including communiqué PSC/PR/COMM.2(DXV) adopted at its 515th meeting held on 13 June 2015, communiqué PSC/PR/COMM.(DXXIII) adopted at its 523rd meeting held on 9 July 2015, and press statement PSC/BR/PR.(DXXXI) adopted at its 531st meeting held on 6 August 2015, as well as the various press releases issued by the Chairperson of the Commission on the situation in Burundi, reaffirming, in particular, the AU's commitment to the scrupulous observance of the Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Agreement of August 2000, expressing the AU's concern about the crisis that arose as a result of the differences among the Burundian stakeholders on the 2015 general elections, including President Pierre Nkurunziza's candidacy to a third mandate, calling on the Burundian stakeholders to initiate an inclusive dialogue to find a consensual solution to the issues that divide them, agree on a consensual date for the holding of the elections and create conducive conditions for the holding of free, fair, transparent and credible elections, and expressing the AU's full support to the mediation efforts of the East African Community (EAC);

 
3.    Further recalls the principles enshrined in the Protocol Relating to the Establishment of the Peace and Security Council of the AU, as provided for in Article 4 of the said Protocol, including early response to contain crisis situations so as to prevent them from developing into full-blown conflicts, respect for the rule of law, fundamental human rights and freedoms, the sanctity of human life and of international humanitarian law, as well as the powers which are conferred to Council under Article 7 of the Protocol, particularly in the area of prevention. Council reaffirms the determination of the AU to combat impunity, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the AU Constitutive Act;


4.    Reiterates the AU's deep concern about the continuing political impasse in Burundi, marked by a lack of dialogue among the different actors involved on the serious problems facing their country due to the non-inclusive and non-consensual nature of the June and July 2015 general elections, which were organized in spite of the request for their postponement made by the EAC and supported by the AU and the rest of the international community, and that the AU decided not to observe due to the absence of the necessary conditions for the holding of free, fair, transparent and credible elections, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the African Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance;


5.    Also notes with deep concern the growing insecurity and the continued rise in violence in Burundi, as well as the increased cases of human rights abuses, including assassinations, extra-judicial killings, violations of physical integrity of individuals, acts of torture and other cruel, inhuman and/or degrading treatment, arbitrary arrests and illegal detentions, violations of the freedom of press and expression, as well as the prevalence of impunity, and the continued worsening of the humanitarian situation, marked by an increase in the number of Burundians seeking refuge in the neighboring countries; 

6.     Strongly condemns all violations of human rights and acts of violence committed in Burundi both by the security forces and by militias and other illegal armed groups, and expresses its determination to ensure that the perpetrators of these abuses are held accountable for their acts, including before relevant international jurisdictions;

7.    Expresses the total rejection by the AU of the recourse to armed rebellion to resolve the current crisis and, once again, urgently appeals to the Burundian stakeholders to engage in dialogue and to spare their country and its people further suffering;


8.    Welcomes the deployment by the Commission, in pursuance of the relevant provisions of communiqué PSC/PR/COMM.2(DXV), of human rights observers and a team of military experts to monitor the human rights situation on the ground and report violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, and to verify, in collaboration with the Government of Burundi and other concerned actors, the process of disarming the militias and other armed groups, respectively. Council commends the human rights observers and the military experts for their dedication in the execution of their respective mandates, appeals for the mobilization of additional resources in support of their activities, reiterates its call to the Burundian Government and other concerned stakeholders to provide full cooperation to the human rights observers and the military experts to facilitate the effective implementation of their mandate, and stresses the need for the urgent finalization of the discussions between the Government of Burundi and the Commission on the Memorandum of Understanding that shall govern the deployment and operations of these personnel in Burundi;


9.    Stresses that the situation prevailing in Burundi has the potential to seriously undermine the significant gains recorded thanks to the Arusha Agreement, with devastating consequences for Burundi and the region as a whole. In this context, Council reaffirms its determination to fully assume its responsibilities as outlined in the Protocol Relating to the Establishment of the Peace and Security Council and in other relevant AU instruments, in cooperation with the EAC, the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) and other relevant international stakeholders. Council also underlines the responsibility of the United Nations Security Council in ensuring that the situation does not deteriorate further, and expresses its appreciation to the United Nations Secretary-General and other relevant partners, including the European Union (EU) and bilateral partners, for their actions and support to the African-led efforts;


10.    Reiterates the AU's conviction that only a genuine and inclusive dialogue, based on the respect of the Arusha Agreement, would enable the Burundian stakeholders to find a consensual solution to the crisis facing their country, preserve peace and consolidate democracy and the rule of law; 

11.    Renews the AU's full support to the mediation efforts led by President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda on behalf of the EAC, underlines the importance of the urgent resumption of the mediation process, and urges the Burundian Government and the other concerned stakeholders to extend full cooperation to the Mediator. In this regard, Council, noting the efforts deployed by the Chairperson of the Commission and by her Special Representative for the Great Lakes Region, requests the Chairperson of the Commission to initiate the necessary consultations with the EAC Mediator, with a view to speedily convening, in Kampala or in Addis Ababa, at the AU Headquarters, an inter-Burundian dialogue involving all concerned stakeholders, both those who are in Burundi and those outside of the country, in order to find a consensual solution to the current crisis. Council requests the Chairperson of the Commission to consult with the relevant international actors, including the United Nations, with a view to mobilizing the necessary political, financial and technical support for the successful holding of the envisaged inter-Burundian dialogue and to report on the evolution of her efforts;


12.    Decides, in support of the efforts to find an early and consensual solution to the crisis facing Burundi, to impose targeted sanctions, including travel ban and asset freeze, against all the Burundian stakeholders whose actions and statements contribute to the perpetuation of violence and impede the search for a solution, in accordance with paragraph 12 of communiqué PSC/PR/COMM.2 (DXV). In this regard, Council requests the Commission to urgently compile a list of Burundian individuals and entities to be targeted by these sanctions. Council further: 


(i)    requests the Commission to take the necessary measures to ensure that the members of the defense and security forces involved in human rights violations and other acts of violence do not take part in AU-led peace support operations. In addition, Council requests the Chairperson of the Commission to initiate consultations with the United Nations for the adoption of similar measures;

 
(ii)    decides to increase the number of human rights observers and military experts deployed by the AU in Burundi. Council requests the Chairperson of the Commission to take the necessary steps to bring rapidly to a total of one hundred (100) the number of personnel deployed, including a police component, and to initiate the required consultations with the Government of Burundi. Council demands that the Burundian parties fully cooperate with the human rights observers and the military experts, in order to facilitate the effective implementation of their respective mandates;

 
(iii)    requests the Chairperson of the Commission to submit to Council monthly reports on the human rights situation and acts of violence in Burundi, on the basis of the reports of the human rights observers and the military experts;

 
(iv)    agrees on the launching of an in-depth investigation on the violations of human rights and other abuses against civilian populations in Burundi, for the purposes of enabling Council to take additional measures. In this regard, Council requests the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights to urgently take the required steps to carry out this investigation and to submit to it a report within a maximum period of forty-five (45) days, from the adoption of the present communiqué; and


(v)    requests the Commission, in consultation with the EAC and the East Africa Standby Force (EASF), to expedite and finalize the contingency planning requested in communiqué PSC/PR/COMM.(DVII) adopted by Council at its 507th meeting held on 14 May 2015, for the purposes of the deployment in Burundi, should the situation so require, of an African-led Mission to prevent widespread violence in the country. Council requests the Commission to update it on the evolution of its efforts within a maximum period of one month;

Council, once again, expresses its appreciation to the neighboring and other African countries which have received Burundian refugees, including Tanzania, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda;

-“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.

25,000 Hutu bodies floated down River Akagera into Lake Victoria in Uganda.

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.
