A Candle For Remembering
May this memorial candle lights up the historical past of our beloved Country: Rwanda, We love U so much. If Tears could build a stairway. And memories were a lane. I would walk right up to heaven. To bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken. No time to say goodbye. You were gone before I knew it And. Only Paul Kagame knows why. My heart still aches with sadness. And secret tears still flow. What It meant to lose you. No one will ever know.
Why did Kagame this to me?
Can't forget. He murdered my mother. What should be my reaction? FYI: the number of orphans in Rwanda has skyrocketed since the 1990's Kagame's invasion. Much higher numbers of orphans had and have no other option but joining FDLR fighters who are identified as children that have Lost their Parents in Kagame's Wars inside and outside of Rwanda.If someone killed your child/spouse/parent(s) would you seek justice or revenge? Deep insight: What would you do to the person who snuffed the life of someone I love beyond reason? Forgiving would bring me no solace. If you take what really matters to me, I will show you what really matters. NITUTIRWANAHO TUZASHIRA. IGIHE KIRAGEZE.If democracy is to sell one's motherland(Africa), for some zionits support, then I prefer the person who is ready to give all his live for his motherland. Viva President Putin!!!
RPF committed the unspeakable
The perverted RPF committed the UNSPEAKABLE.Two orphans, both against the Nazi world. Point is the fact that their parents' murder Kagame & his RPF held no shock in the Western world. Up to now, the Rwandan Hitler Kagame and his death squads still enjoy impunity inside and outside of Rwanda. What goes through someone's mind as they know RPF murdered their parents? A delayed punishment is actually an encouragement to crime, In Praise of the ongoing Bloodshed in Rwanda. “I always think I am a pro-peace person but if someone harmed someone near and dear to me, I don't think I could be so peaceful. I would like to believe that to seek justice could save millions of people living the African Great Lakes Region - I would devote myself to bringing the 'perp' along to a non-happy ending but would that be enough? You'd have to be in the situation I suppose before you could actually know how you would feel or what you would do”. Jean-Christophe Nizeyimana, Libre Penseur
Hutu Children & their Mums
Look at them ! How they are scared to death. Many Rwandan Hutu and Tutsi, Foreign human rights advocates, jounalists and and lawyers are now on Death Row Waiting to be murdered by Kagame and his RPF death squads. Be the last to know.
Almighty God :Justice for US
Hutu children's daily bread: Intimidation, Slavery, Sex abuses led by RPF criminals and Kagame, DMI: Every single day, there are more assassinations, imprisonment, brainwashing & disappearances. Do they have any chance to end this awful life?
Killing Hutus on daily basis
RPF targeted killings, very often in public areas. Killing Hutus on daily basis by Kagame's murderers and the RPF infamous death squads known as the "UNKNOWN WRONGDOERS"
RPF Trade Mark: Akandoya
Rape, torture and assassination and unslaving of hutu women. Genderside: Rape has always been used by kagame's RPF as a Weapon of War, the killings of Hutu women with the help of Local Defense Forces, DMI and the RPF military
The Torture in Rwanda flourishes
How torture flourishes across Rwanda despite extensive global monitoring

We need Freedom, Liberation of our fatherland, Human rights respect, Mutual respect between the Hutu majority and the Tutsi minority
Thursday, December 18, 2014
[Since 1994, the world witnesses the horrifying Tutsi
minority (14%) ethnic domination, the Tutsi minority ethnic rule with an iron
hand, tyranny and corruption in Rwanda. The current government has been
characterized by the total impunity of RPF criminals, the Tutsi economic
monopoly, the Tutsi militaristic domination, and the brutal suppression of the
rights of the majority of the Rwandan people (85% are Hutus) and mass arrests
of Hutus by the RPF criminal organization =>AS International]
Why Are
Rwandans Disappearing?
Virginie Uwamahoro
vanished in April. A primary school teacher, she was last seen settling in for
the three-hour bus ride from the Rwandan border town of Gisenyi to Kigali, the
capital. She called a friend once she got into town: Someone from the government
wanted to see her. She would drop by his office before heading home.
Ms. Uwamahoro’s name is now on a list of
missing people included in a new Human Rights Watch
report on a series of politically
motivated detentions and disappearances in Rwanda since mid-March. Human Rights Watch attributes the disappearances
to sweeps by the army and the police targeting people suspected of being
critical of the government, and cites 14 cases in one district alone.
The
assistant commissioner of police, Damas Gatare, said in an official statement that the report was
“baseless,” but specified that “some people” had in fact been “apprehended” on
suspicion of belonging to the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda,
an armed group composed of fugitives from the 1994 genocide and based in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Traveling to Congo on
business or to visit relatives could be enough to cause a person to fall under
suspicion, according to anecdotes in the report. The State Department expressed concern and urged a return to
“due process of law.” But President Paul Kagame
remained defiant, saying at a recent state function: “We will continue to
arrest more suspects and if possible shoot in broad daylight those who intend
to destabilize our country.”
To observers with
years of experience in the country, Mr. Kagame’s stance is no surprise.
American censure, on the other hand, comes as a breath of fresh air.
The “genocide guilt card” has been
played expertly from Mr. Kagame on down. Nearly $800 million flows into Rwandan
government coffers every year from foreign donors still haunted by images of
discarded machetes released after the genocide of half a million people 20
years ago. Mr. Kagame continues to be regularly celebrated at American
universities and black-tie events in Aspen and Davos, where he is presented as
a visionary committed to radical economic modernity.
To be fair, some progress has been made.
Rwanda’s gross domestic product has grown since 2001 at an estimated annual
rate of 7 percent. Literacy rates have soared, while fertility rates have
plummeted. Alone in the Great Lakes region of Africa, the country has a
national health care policy that provides coverage for less than $100 per
person per year. Once a dusty, garbage-strewn city, Kigali is now a bustling
metropolis with soaring glass buildings separated by vast stretches of
manicured grass.
But as the report by Human Rights Watch
makes clear, something unsettling is happening beneath this shiny surface.
In January, the BBC
reported that Mr. Kagame’s former intelligence chief Patrick Karegeya, who had
fled to South Africa and was advising intelligence officials there, was found strangled in
Johannesburg. The brazen murder led to the expulsion of three
Rwandan diplomats from South Africa.
Mr. Kagame officially denied involvement, but the BBC reported that he remarked
soon afterward at a prayer meeting, “You can’t betray Rwanda and not get
punished for it.”
In the 20 years since the genocide, Mr.
Kagame and the governing Rwandan Patriotic Front have built an excellent public
relations machinery portraying the ruling Tutsi elite as the “good guys” who
put an end to the genocide and the faceless Hutu masses as the “bad guys” who
did the bulk of the killing. But research conducted by numerous respected
scholars, among them Timothy Longman at Boston University and Brian Endless at
the University of Chicago, shows that Rwandans of all ethnicities were caught
up in the violence. Human rights groups have found that the R.P.F. killed many
Rwandans before, during and after the 1994 genocide.
Many Rwanda scholars
share the conviction that the R.P.F.’s disinformation campaign predates the
genocide, and that its first public relations coup came on the night of April
6, 1994, when the plane carrying President Juvénal Habyarimana was shot down
over Kigali, triggering the massacre.
At the time, suspicion fell on the
R.P.F. The former chief of the Rwandan Army under Mr. Kagame, Kayumba Nyamwasa,
who is currently in exile in South Africa, said in a telephone interview that
Mr. Kagame’s order to shoot down the plane was “an open secret” known to
“everyone who was in the army at the time.” In the space of 90 days, however,
that assumption was replaced with a conspiracy theory laying the blame with
Hutu extremists determined to get the genocide underway.
The result is that the distortion has become the truth. Only the French, who had their own troubled history of interference in Rwanda, have formally accused Mr. Kagame of shooting down Mr. Habyarimana’s plane. Americans, both in government and in the reception lines at events where Mr. Kagame speaks, have been keen to support a government that claims to represent the victims of the genocide, without realizing that no alternative narrative has been allowed to emerge, creating a vacuum in which Rwandan citizens are now demonstrably at risk.
“A few unidentified individuals have
been released” since the Human Rights Watch report, said Carina Tertsakian, a
researcher for the rights organization. But for any genuine change to occur in
a dictatorship as entrenched as Rwanda’s has proved to be, donors will have to
apply strong and sustained pressure. The United States alone provides over $200
million in bilateral aid a year. It should make every penny conditional on receiving
an accounting of every person who has been detained, apprehended or otherwise
disappeared, and insist on confirmation by local and international monitoring
groups. Until that happens, Rwandans just don’t know who may be next.
Lara Santoro is a novelist who worked as a journalist in Rwanda from 1996 to 2004. Susan Thomson is a professor of peace and conflict studies at Colgate University and the author of “Whispering Truth to Power: Everyday Resistance to Reconciliation in Postgenocide Rwanda.”
The Truth can be buried and stomped into the ground where none can see, yet eventually it will, like a seed, break through the surface once again far more potent than ever, and Nothing can stop it. Truth can be suppressed for a "time", yet It cannot be destroyed. ==> Wolverine
