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.

[AfricaRealities.com] Davos Forum: Rwanda must transform the present before embarking on transforming tomorrow

 


The Rwanda must transform the present before embarking on transforming tomorrow

By Jean P Ndindamahina,21January2016


Yesterday during the Davos' economic forum "transforming tomorrow" I watched with match enthusiasm what the panel members were to say and among them was President Kagame who have ruled Rwanda over two decades and other panel members were four chief executive officers Cheryl Sandburg (Facebook), Zachary Bookman(Open Gov ), Satya Nadella(Microsoft), Annand Mahindra(Mahindra Group) and the moderator was Andrew R.Sorkin who works as columnist for the new York Times.

These four executives' officers were talking about how their companies are more involved in the work to transform the world and the people who live in it through their companies' emerging technology and mostly the use of internet that connects people together and how this can benefit the world as whole.

The Facebook chief executive officer Sheryl Sandburg explained the importance of connectivity by giving some examples of women who were able to spread their ideas, opinions and creativity through the use of technology and by being able to get informed by being connected to data. And also Sheryl questioned whether human are going to change in terms of hope or in terms of fear. Is technological innovation good for tomorrow? Is human intelligence going to be taken over by the use of technology? Does Technological revolution means all jobs are destroyed?

For those in developed world have already experienced the power of technology where human labour have been replaced by machines which really means less people in work places. There is self-services on both internet and on the counter, human interactions between people in the office and those in their homes have been taken over by automated technology, people are spending more and more time talking to man-made machines than the real people hence I think the real long-term impact of all this kind of technological innovation has to be assessed to give more hope of better tomorrow and not fear and those are challenges for those who already have that use of technology

For Rwanda, the use of technology is only limited to privileged elite as those Rwandans citizens who are unprivileged and mostly live in remote villages around the country has no access to water and electricity. They are still living in the darkness for them to understand what even tomorrow means when in fact, they are still to discover their present.

As Sheryl mentioned, for someone in United states to be able to use internet and access Facebook, it cost at least $1 and I find that to be true because in Britain I get charged at least $1.5 a day for private internet which can be even more costly when using mobile phone data or public internet where you get charged per hour which cannot be less than $6 per hour. With 89% Rwandans living under $1 a day, was the president Paul Kagame in the right economic forum that speaks on behalf of Rwandan people?

My question has been the balance between income and connectivity. How do Rwandans will be able to access the world class technology when in fact they still earn less than $1 a day. Will they be able to use all their income to access data on internet? The answer is no hence I think the rwandan people are still far behind for them to benefit from cloud technology, only those elites who are already rich which means in Rwanda and may be in other some African states, rich people will continue to be rich while poor people continue to sink further into poverty because unlike rich elites, majority Rwandans are not connected to the outside world, they only understand their village and their leader.

When President kagame was asked on the failure of connectivity in emerging market such as Rwanda, he rather looked defending his "I don't know the answer" as he said " Failing people will continue to fail" I wondered how this matched with the objective of the forum which was to giving hope to industries and societies through the transformation of tomorrow! He started going out of the topic talking about government policy which he understands a little to give more incoherence argument on the influence of emerging technology.

The president Kagame rather became a boring member among those in the panel and those in the room felt it and even may be the moderator felt that actually president Kagame was in the wrong economic forum as he was watched by those in room and those who were sat next to him talking about what he does not really understand and when he was asked by the moderator whether the failure was the only way to go, he responded "Absolutely, struggle will be there, support will be there…" come on, what this is to do with emerging technology? If it was job interview he would not have passed but well for him, he has managed to change constitution to allow him more years in office and office that he still holds today since 2000.

In all economic revolutions and based on the fact that the developed world is about to embark on fourth technological revolution, Rwanda is skipped at all time. Rwanda as a country is still to achieve fist revolution which is political revolution which makes me wonder why president of Rwanda was among those who were discussing the pros and cons of this fourth technological revolution which would be facilitated by strong economic and political stability –finally I don't blame President Kagame for him struggling to give competent answers to all questions that were put before him! I rather blame those who have booked a place for him as a member of the panel not a member of audience.

When President Kagame was asked whether technological transparency is the one that makes Rwanda have more women in parliament and the cabinet, President Kagame responded "It is a question of choices" simply because Rwanda's policies don't need necessary to have to depend on technology and instead of answering the question he rather revealed the truth that actually Rwanda women are in the government for political reasons because it is not women in parliament who advocate some rights, ideas and causes and they are in the government to defend them but rather women who are in the parliament for political reason of strengthening cult of personality of President Kagame and his government and some of these women are happy in the government or in cabinet because they need work in order to overcome all life burdens in Rwanda.

The truth was put out by Cheryl Sandburg when she talks about women issues in government or in other organisations that are there but can't make decisions and that is the fact for Rwanda. In Rwanda 64 % Women in the government and in the parliament looks very impressive but the truth is that; any decision making is still out of their hands and even if they would think of an idea they would not bring it out in case it is considered to be against an aggressive leadership.

The current Rwanda as President Kagame said during the forum is under an ideological driven leadership that is not open for democratic processes and shockingly, those women in Rwanda's parliament have no access to data and most of them if not all, are mediocrely educated. Majority of those women are those who studied in 70s when computers were not readily available as today, their ability to access the world technological data and information is limited hence majority of these women have no connectivity to the world and having these majorities of women in parliament allows the dictatorship to flourish with fewer struggles.

President Kagame also requested a question directed to Sheryl Sandberg that she would have responded to well about Facebook investment in people if it was not advertising their company rather than helping and once again President Kagame did not have a clue why he felt he was more fit to answer the question than Sheryl Sandberg and other CEO as he struggled to match his people's income, capability to today's technological use triggering the moderator to give him a left hand shake at the end of the forum panel. 

It is true in Rwanda; people use Facebook data on their mobile phone free of charge. In the UK I fear to use my mobile phone because it is more expensive option as I get charged by per data I use while in Rwanda, a person can be on his or her mobile phone all day using Facebook and communicating with the rest of the world which is helping the people of Rwanda to connect to the rest of the world and more people in Rwanda are now starting to join Facebook in mass as a way to connect with friends, family and the rest of the outside world but still, their connection on Facebook is still heavily controlled by the government that closely monitors individuals' communication on his or her social media.so everyone in Rwanda becomes rather more careful of what they say and how they say it. They are not free to express their ideas and opinion freely on any social media and some of them chose not to connect to the internet in case, they become attempted to break the silence or in case their ideas and opinion are wrongly perceived by the elites in the government.

Rwanda should embark on political change and seek political stability before anything else. As we speak right now, the Rwanda's constitution has been demolished and replaced by the constitution which would allow President Kagame to keep being booked in the wrong forum in the name of Rwanda for life. With political revolution Rwanda will move on in the best economic direction but for now, for Rwanda to participate in the world forum on current and future technological issues and challenges, it is just increasing the number of the panel members and to allow President Kagame to keep lacking an answer to questions put before him and ofcurse that can be embarrassing especially when in front of well up to date audiences.

-“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.

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.
