As we said before, you can't talk about Christmas without mentioning Jesus. In the same context, you cannot talk about human rights abuses in Rwanda, congo, war crimes in Congo, crimes against Humanity in Congo and genocide without mentioning General Paul Kagame, the mastermind of the Rwandan and Congolises Genocides, a criminal STILL AT LARGE.
Concerning the DRC, an independent inquiry was necessay than ever to determine those who are involved in the conflict and who are committing all kind of inimaginable crimes on the Congolese soil: Multinational mining companies, American and Briths individuals, Rwandan government (RDF),RCD,CNDP,FARDC, MONUC, and other RPF newly created proxy armies. Concerning Rwanda, a sustained dialogue among Rwandans is more than necessary to end the regional conflict. The dialogue should be helping conflictual parties and the civil societies to map and name problems and relationships. A dialogue sustained over time can produce such a transforming political process.
 
Our motto for 2012: Freedom for all prisoners of conscience: Ms Ingabire Victoire, Me Ntaganda Bernard, Mushayidi Deogratias and many others plus journalists. All of them are those who were  arrested by the dictator Rwandan Paul Kagame, detained and imprisoned for acts in furtherance of their political beliefs. As a consequence, they are arbitrarily denied their liberty and due process of law.

They are all victims of political repression and state terrorism which are the General Kagame and RPF government's reaction to dissent, criticism, political activism and defense of human rights.

This is the time of year when you can take stock of the blessings you have, and plan for new success in the New Year. One of the blessings we have here at ASIF are our members, partners, and volunteers, because it simply would not happen without all of you. Human rights are the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. When human rights are not respected, tension and even armed conflict often follow. That what we actually live in the Congo, across Rwanda, Somalia and Darfur in Sudan.

The New Year 2012 provides exciting opportunities to all of us, but our success depends on all of us working together toward our goals of Human Rights education, conflict resolution, culture of good governance, and democratic values, Justice and reconciliation. The UN Charter makes this clear by affirming its “faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and nations large and small.”

The World Programme for Human Rights Education points out that “Human rights education encompasses:

Human rights is not a subject that can be studied at a distance. All people at all levels in Africa should not just learn about the Universal Declaration, about racial injustice, discrimination, war crimes and genocide or about poverty in developing countries without also being challenged to think about what it all means for them personally. As human rights educator and advocate, African SurVivors International staff members must ask the involved people, students and ourselves, “How does this all relate to the way we live our lives?” The answers to this question will tell us much about how effectively we have taught our students and different community members in different workshops.

(a) Knowledge and skills — learning about human rights and mechanisms for their protection, as well as acquiring skills to apply them in daily life;
(b) Values, attitudes and behaviour — developing values and reinforcing attitudes and behavior, which uphold human rights; 

Using information and communication technologies (ICTs) to promote human rights education.

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.”
Plan an Internet event or campaign

Using the Internet to advertise and even to host an event is a growing trend in communication and in outreach.

Deep insight: Rwanda genocide: Bagosora's life sentence reduced

Theoneste Bagosora was a senior figure in Rwanda's ministry of defence at the time of the massacres.
General Paul Kagame, the probably mastermind of the Rwandan Genocide remains at large. To help Rwandans to reconcile, Paul Kagame should be apprehended and brought to JUSTICE. To understand the issue, we call on our readers to listen tothe French Professor Lugan here below:

Génocide rwandais : renversement de perspective
Geüpload door realpolitiktv. - De allerlaatste nieuwscontent.
[In 1994 around 800,000 people - mostly from the Tutsi ethnic group - were killed in just 100 days.=> This is the  refrain (from Vulgar Latin refringere, "to repeat", and later from Old French refraindre)  repeated in Kagame's music or in verse; the "chorus" of RPF followers'song to hide the Truth about millions of Hutus and Tutsis mass-slaughtered by Paul Kagame. RPF and Kagame pro-media will always repeat it as to insist on Kagame's scenario about the 1994 tragic events].
The UN-backed International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) convicted Bagosora of genocide and crimes against humanity three years ago.
He was arrested 15 years ago in Cameroon and his trial at the Rwanda tribunal in the Tanzanian city of Arusha began in 2002.
Appeal judges in Arusha cleared him of some of the charges he faced, including ordering killings at roadblocks in the capital, Kigali.

But his convictions for genocide and crimes against humanity were upheld.

Co-accused to be freed
The BBC's East Africa correspondent Will Ross says he decision has angered some Rwandans who are are questioning why a man who played such a key role in the genocide would have his sentence reduced.


Around 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed in Rwanda in 1994 They point to the fact that many others who were lowing ranking genocide convicts were given life sentences.

In 1994, Bagosora was chief of staff in the ministry of defence and effectively in charge of the soldiers who took part in the massacres.

The killings began after the plane carrying Rwanda's then-President Juvenal Habyarimana was shot down on 6 April 1994, killing everyone on board.

The appeals court found that he knew the crimes were going to be committed and did nothing to stop them, the AFP news agency reports.
At his trial, Bagosora, who is a Hutu, maintained he was a victim of propaganda by Rwanda's current Tutsi-dominated government.
Bagosora is 70 years old. With time already served, his 35-year sentence will see him imprisoned until he is 89.
One of the men convicted alongside Bagosora, Anatole Nsengiyumva, has had his sentence reduced on appeal to 15 years, and will be released because of time served, says AFP.

Key Rwandan opposition leaders are arrested, intimidated, hounded and even killed.

[Since 1994, the world witnesses the horrifying reality : the Tutsi minority (14%) ethnic domination, the Tutsi minority ethnic rule, 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 with an iron fist, and the brutal suppression of the rights of the majority of the Rwandan people (85% are Hutus), mass-arrests and mass-murder by the RPF criminal organization.

Since May 2011, Kagame’s soldiers are on red alert.

 Rwanda - The political crisis that is boiling in Rwanda for several months is expressed by a lack of progress on human rights and democracy. Yet General Kagame is facing an invigorated opposition, the key opposition leaders are calling on the Rwandans inside and outside of the country to remain focused and react appropriately to any attempt to perpetuate the ruthless military dictator's rule and his RPF authoritaria-nism in the country.  The situation arose from the unlawful arrest and imprisonment of the FDU leader and the would-be president of Rwanda and the determination of both RNC and FDU-Inkingi to unite their efforts to liberate and help Rwandans to come over the current critical political situation.
Besides these men in military uniforms in various Rwandan towns, armed to the teeth, the local difence forces, the police and gendarmes along the major streets check identification of suspicious people with all seriousness.

Ms Victoire Ingabire The would -Be President of Rwanda Now in Rwandan Prison.

Many observers, tourists and ordinarily rwandans wonder about the justification of such a state of emergency while the RPF regime hardliners insist on the existence of peace across Rwanda. The world community will be witnessing of the growing wave of unrest in the country. There is no denying that nothing should justify such an emergency situation as a result of the ongoing suspension of civil liberties across the country (e.g. Ms. Ingabire trial).

 After the 1994 tragic events,  Rwandans'rejection of Non-Violence is the Affirmation of their Right to Self-Defense under Kagame's regime and the current State of Emergency.


According to one reliable eye-witness, since May 2011, the state of emergency remains in force with brutally enforced dusk-to-dawn curfews across Rwandan main towns. The arbitrary arrests, torture, assassinations and disappearances reappeared in force elsewhere in the country and became common to ordinarily Rwandans in the country.
Rwandans and the rest of the world should know the following: ‘Defeating dictators’ is a vitriolic lampoon of abuse of power, electoral gerrymandering and rape of democracy in the developing world’.

As security forces and the RPF military men in streets are dispatched all around Rwandan towns and villages, street gatherings are banned of more than five people or more.  the situation is  exacerbated by the RPF party's increasing repression on Rwandans forcing them to forcibly adhere to the party. Asked about the reason behind the non refusal of Rwandans to do it,  the following smart reaction remains the key answer to Kagame's tactics:"if you need to travel in metro, on bus or by train, you need to buy your ticket otherwise you're banned from traveling (meaning no more rights inside Rwanda).

Where there is no longer any alternative, a special term such as “democracy and Justice ” becomes superfluous.

This state in Rwanda is generally believed to be due to General Kagame’s stubborn fight against Ms. Ingabire Victoire, the main Rwandan opposition leaders, his to eternalize his reign, in spite of warnings from both national and international organizations.

The examples of Tunisia, Egypt and Libya he examples of are too conspicuous to be ignored. Kagame should transition into a real democracy to avert the possibility of a popular uprising in the country.
Exacerbated by the initial attempt by the opposition political parties to stage their unification against the existing bloody Rwandan dictatorship, General Kagame is spending/throwing through the window millions of dollars in paying  tickets for his his followers FROM INSIDE RWANDA  and RPF members DISPACHED AROUND THE WORLD to "meet" him at each time he travels abroad while demonstrations are organized by the Rwandan opposition around the world.

The good parent prepares his children for independence, trains them to make responsible decisions, knows that he harms them by not helping them to break loose. The paternal state thrives on dependency. When the dependents free themselves, it loses power. It is, therefore, parasitic on the very persons whom it turns into parasites. Thus, the state and its dependents march symbiotically to destruction.”

Paul Kagame, behind the scenes, The real face of a criminal

The Lantos Foundation was proud to join with dozens of prominent human rights organizations in sponsoring the WE HAVE A DREAM GLOBAL SUMMIT AGAINST DISCRIMINATION AND PERSECUTION last week during the convening of the 66th session of the UN General Assembly.

No more red carpet to the bloody dictator Paul Kagame

The summit challenged the UN to confront the hypocrisy involved in “rolling out the red carpet” for tyrants and giving them a place of honor and a bully pulpit from which to address the world.



Ladies and Gents:

Aleichem shalom (עֲלֵיכֶם שָׁלוֹם) !

If we truly want peace in this world, we need to make better choices closer to home. I recently have heard that many of western Universities committees won’t see anymore their degrees getting devalued because of non sense and even stupid publicity in granting honorary degrees to unpopular leaders across the world and to heavyweight criminals and or dictators such like Paul Kagame only because they happen to be self-elected presidents.


The invited dictator Paul Kagame, your/their guest Does Nobody have no idea about his criminal records? A permanent attempt to whitewash the bloody criminal




On the other hand, I think I am certainly correct when I say or repeat that when you give, you get, and that goes both ways. If you give well, you get well; and if you give poorly, you can expect a poor return. Come on! So are the consequences of those unpredictable distributions of honorary degrees. In my point of view, these universities should be aware too about their tight relationship with the African Paul Pot, the Hitler admirer Paul Kagame. Who doesn’t know Paul Kagame? Is this a good thing to destroy your own university because of one bloody dictator only because he’s backed by your government?
Prison : a chief tool to silence the opponent, a tool of prosecution


You be the judge!

Ask Ms Ingabire Victoire The would-be President of Rwanda Actually in Prison

 Paul Kagame is the worse dictator the world has ever hosted. He is responsible for repeated and egregious crimes against humanity.

1. He is responsible for perpetrated massacres of perhaps thousands of pro-democracy students and teachers (about 21,000) at Kibeho in the early 1995.

2. The widespread repression, torture, and murder, imprisonment of hundred of thousands of Hutus by the bloody RPF government led by him.

3. His DMI, MP and other unknown intelligence organizations across Rwanda are a foresight of what the world will face as the humiliation of the human kind.


Ask that Hutu woman about Paul Kagame's cruelties


4. At the same time, US government delivers military training to RPF criminals and US universities are not anxious to grant Paul Kagame various honorary degrees despite the sufferings of Rwandan and Congolese people due to the most-wanted criminal Paul Kagame’s crimes. Personally, I do think there are very few people, and it’s very important to emphasize this, that merit being awarded honorary degrees, and the likes of Paul Kagame should certainly not be among them.


Ask Me Ntaganda Bernard, the opposition leader in Rwanda prison about Paul Kagame's cruelties


5. He is responsible for perpetrated massacres of hundred of thousand Rwanda refugees in the Democratic of the Congo: 3,500,000 butchered byhim and his bloody army genocidaire. Thoutsands of returnees were butchered in those prepared for them death camps and in the countryside according to the well planed killing strategy.

Ask those journalists in prison about Paul Kagame's cruelties

For many experts, the key to the recent RPF crimes in Rwanda and in the Republic of the Congo lies in the Universities staffs, senate and students’ push to extend their influence in the Western government’s foreign policies to merely stop this phenomenon which negatively affect their future.

Listen to what Guga Rockall says:

Ask that Belgian priest about Paul Kagame's cruelties

· “ If universities want to avoid their honorary degrees being devalued to a level comparable with peerages and similar, they should be limited to people who have made some outstanding contribution in a particular field or area, and which has resulted in some form of benefit to the country or the world”.


Another respected man Mr. Roy, one of the serious observers in this matter adds the following:

Ask that Hutu children in prison at Iwawa Island about Paul Kagame's cruelties

· “Giving away degrees by universities just for a bit of free publicity devalues the achievements of those who have had to spend years working for them…”

Ask survivors about Paul Kagame's cruelties

For a longtime, we have been told that nominees are selected and vetted about the type of people honored. The result is very critical when for free publicity which does not care about their future, some of western universities continue to confer the honoris causa degrees upon the Rwandan Top Nazi despite tie fact that he is on top of the target list f bloody dictators. So, after analyzing the situation, I came to the conclusion that the degree that He receives is in all a degree of anger at roll of dishonor for the University itself, the UK citizens who have studied or worked in those universities and of course for dishonor and a shame for the abandoned Rwandans.

Ask those Hutu children about Paul Kagame's cruelties

Recommendations:

I. Stopping the award of degrees to people who are believed to be criminals and Nazis suck like Paul Kagame

II. No more red carpet to the world heavy-weight criminal and Rwanda Top Nazi

III. Banning serving politicians from receiving awards.

IV. Giving serious consideration to whether degrees should be awarded to nominees from countries with poor or without human rights records

Ask that raped Hutu woman about Paul Kagame's cruelties

V. Greater scrutiny at the nomination stage between the degree committee and the university senate which rubber stamps awards.

VI. Previous degrees awarded to Paul Kagame should be withdrawn





Ask those Hutu children about Paul Kagame's cruelties



This process to allow honorary degrees to be removed may start and encouraged and it is a good thing.

Ask about RPF torture tools Here is Akandoya

I finally do hope Paul Kagame will be the first world heavyweight criminal to be deprived of his award for becoming the Rwanda Top Nazi, a genocidaire, a war criminal, an anti-democratic tyrant and no longer be able to flaunt his degrees. Otherwise, it’s a big shame to all of us. Shame, indeed. Shame on all of us for tolerating a terrorist state.
