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
Fighting For Our Freedom?
We need Freedom, Liberation of our fatherland, Human rights respect, Mutual respect between the Hutu majority and the Tutsi minority

(Picture: moroka media, Oscar Nkala, Matabeleland, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe)In June 2009 Djengis Gabor, President of VON, representing a large number of minority organisations in the Netherlands, had written a letter to all Dutch political parties voicing his concern. He was worried because signals had reached him that Dutch political parties were blocking the road to minority candidates at local elections out of fear. Djengis Gabor reminded these political parties that migrants are still underrepresented in Dutch politics and that they still have a lot of work to do in this respect. At the time the media ignored this.
Yesterday however, we learned, that indeed, this time around Dutch political parties at the local level have put even fewer candidates of foreign origin on their lists in local elections. In Rotterdam for example, a city where about half of the population is of foreign origin, only 20 percent of the municipal candidates have an immigrant background.
Mohammed Benzakour, blogger at the muslim immigrant blog wij blijven hier ("we stay here") voiced the exasperation of many immigrants in the Netherlands with Dutch politics in his article "The Dutch Labour Party is not worth our vote" (English summary here).
Allthough the Netherlands has about 3 million immigrants within it's borders, political parties have been ignoring immigrants for another four more years. Why would immigrants now all of a sudden have to make the effort to get out and vote? The walk to the voting booth is not worth it! Let's just stay home.

Chronique de Bernard Desgagné
[Depuis 1994, le monde est témoin de l’effroyable oppression et domination ethnique du Rwanda par la minorité tutsie (14%), le régime ethnique de la minorité tutsie, un régime réputé pour être tyrannique et gangréné par la corruption dans le gouvernement actuelle du Rwanda.
Ce régime a toujours été caractérisé par l'impunité des Tutsis criminels et membres du FPR, le monopole économique tutsi, la domination militariste tutsie, et surtout la suppression brutale des droits de la majorité Hutue (85%) par l'organisation criminelle du FPR. ASIF]
La présente chronique m'est inspirée par un article de mon ami François Munyabagisha intitulé « Guerre des catastrophes » et par un commentaire sur cet article de la part d'une lectrice de Vigile, Isabelle Poulin. C'est à elle que je m'adresse, mais c'est aussi à tous les autres Québécois dont la compréhension du drame rwandais s'appuie sur des romans et des films, et non sur les faits.
Je vois que vous avez de bonnes intentions en voulant réconforter mon ami François Munyabagisha, mais permettez-moi de vous éclairer un peu sur la question rwandaise, que vous semblez connaitre principalement à travers la lunette du cinéma de type hollywoodien qui tient lieu de réflexion profonde en Amérique du Nord.

[This one’s for Prof. Mihailo Markovic:
Is knowing the Truth important? Or is it just prideful and dangerous—maybe too dangerous ?
Is it important to cleave to the Reality Principle--in History as in Science? Adorno said, “Reality provides too many legitimate reasons for fleeing it to be met by the indignation of an ideology sworn to harmony.” (Aesthetic Theory, TW Adorno, ed. Robert Hullot-Kentor)
[Since 1994, the world witnesses the horrifying Tutsi minority (14%) ethnic domination, the Tutsi minority ethnic rule, tyrany 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), by the RPF criminal organization. ASIF]
On 10 February 2010, Human Rights Watch called on the Government of Rwanda to end attacks on opposition parties. Read the press release for the full commentary. Reuters reported that Rwanda's political opposition (meaning Mme. Ingabire) will likely face criminal charges for playing the ethnic card.

Intimidation of Political Opponents Increases in Advance of Presidential Election
(Kigali) - Opposition party members are facing increasing threats, attacks, and harassment in advance of Rwanda's August 2010 presidential election, Human Rights Watch said today. Human Rights Watch urged the government to investigate all such incidents and to ensure that opposition activists are able to go about their legitimate activities without fear.

Note de protestation à la suite de l’agression contre Mme Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, Présidente des Forces Démocratiques Unifiées (FDU) et Candidate aux élections présidentielles d’août 2010 au Rwanda.
Mesdames,
Messieurs,
Le 3 février 2010, Madame Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, présidente des Forces démocratiques unifiées et candidate aux élections présidentielles d’août 2010 au Rwanda, a été agressée et dépouillée de ses documents d’identité par des individus dont on peut affirmer, sans se tromper, qu’ils étaient en mission commandée par le pouvoir en place à Kigali.
En effet, sur invitation des autorités locales, Mme Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza s’était rendue au bureau du secteur Kinyinya/Kigali pour retirer des attestations en vue de parachever l’enregistrement de son parti politique. Arrivée sur place en compagnie de son collaborateur, M. Joseph Ntawangundi, elle a été brutalement attaquée par un groupe de gens embusqués à l’intérieur même de l’enclos du bureau municipal. Avec l’aide de son chauffeur, Mme Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza a pu se soustraire des mains de ses agresseurs tandis que son collaborateur a été sauvagement battu et déshabillé.
Nous, Réseau International des Femmes pour la Démocratie et la Paix (RIFDP), avons été d’autant plus choquées par cet acte de barbarie qui s’est déroulé dans un pays où le régime dirigeant se targue d’être le promoteur des droits de la femme. Nous condamnons énergiquement et de vives voix ces pratiques barbares de violence indignes de notre siècle.
Il est très regrettable que le FPR de Paul Kagame n’ait pas encore saisi dans toute sa profondeur le message de la paix que Mme Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza apporte aujourd’hui au Rwanda. Rentrée récemment d’exil, elle a été aussitôt la cible des médias et des organisations proches du pouvoir de Kigali qui l’accusent de négationniste, de divisionniste, d’ethniste et de véhiculer l’idéologie génocidaire. C’est là tout un arsenal destiné à décourager toute voix discordante, quelle qu’elle soit.
Pourtant, la mission de Mme Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza est toute autre et claire. Elle est rentrée dans son pays au nom de la paix, de la démocratie, du dialogue inter-rwandais et de la réconciliation nationale. Telles sont les valeurs, parfaitement louables, qu’elle incarne et véhicule dans tous ses discours. S’attaquer à elle, c’est s’attaquer à ces valeurs ; c’est se tromper d’époque.
La présidente des FDU n’a rien de tout ce que ses détracteurs veulent faire croire. Au contraire elle est pour la vérité et la justice pour tous. Elle est pour le bien-être de tout le peuple rwandais dans toutes ses composantes. C’est d’ailleurs ce qu’elle affirme dans son discours du 16 janvier 2010 à son arrivée à Kigali : « Nous voulons une politique qui protège chaque Rwandais pour que plus personne ne perde sa vie à cause de ses origines, de sa région, de sa religion ou de ses opinions politiques ». Mme Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza invite les Rwandais à une marche de fierté, une marche « tous ensemble » pour construire un Rwanda plus solidaire, plus harmonieux et plus juste.
A l’instar de l’intérêt manifesté par la communauté internationale à l’endroit de l’opposante birmane Aung San Suu Kyi, notre organisation souhaiterait voir ladite communauté réserver les mêmes attentions à Mme Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza puisque les deux leaders politiques mènent des combats en tous les points semblables à savoir la démocratie, la paix et la défense des droits de l’homme.
Convaincues que vous pouvez aider les Rwandais à se sortir d’une situation de « ni guerre ni paix » qui perdure depuis 15 ans, nous vous demandons d’user de toute votre influence pour convaincre les autorités rwandaises à renoncer à des méthodes qui s’apparentent à un terrorisme d’État. Une action rapide dans ce sens s’impose car on ne devrait pas tergiverser devant quiconque voudra plonger une fois encore le Rwanda dans l’horreur. Ce faisant, vous aurez rendu un grand service à son peuple et au monde entier.
Pour le Réseau International des Femmes pour la Démocratie et la Paix (RIFDP)
Perpétue Muramutse,

Several current legal arrangements in the Rwandan government system are deliberately unjust, discriminatory and oppressive, thus explaining the reasons millions of Rwandan citizens live continuously traumatized and fearful of the regime’s machine of harassment and intimidation, therefore don’t foresee any hope for their future.
Since the return in Rwanda on 16th January 2010 of Mrs Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, Chairperson of the United Democratic Forces UDF-Inkingi, and presidential candidate for her party in this year elections, the oppressive and dictatorship practices of Paul Kagame’s regime have been brought up in the spotlight of the international and Rwandan national media, this only because they are presently applied to a high profile personality, while for the rest of the population, such existence is part of the daily routine. They have resigned their own destiny in the hands of their oppressor because they feel powerless in front of the ruthlessness of the system. In recent days, there have been on Rwandan political scene two incidents which remind thoughtful people of the Hithler’s time.
One relates to the beating of Joseph Ntawangundi, assistant of Victoire Ingabire, on Wednesday 03/02/2010 inside the premises of a local authority in Kigali, while security forces were watching, the spectacle being like those scenes of Gestapo modus operandi, showing the oppressed there is nowhere to run for help since the authority meant to protect has become the oppressor.
The other incident is an article published in The News Times, the Rwandan daily newspaper at the service of Kagame’s regime, about the same beaten Joseph already mentioned, which reports in its Friday 5th February 2010 edition on his condemnation in absentia by a Gacaca tribunal. The implied intention of the editor of the paper appears to tell the public, ‘the said victim of Wednesday 03/03/2010 beating is a criminal.’
Surprisingly, the news on his condemnation have come up from nowhere in the limelight after his beating, this to explain or justify why he deserved what happened to him, consequently and practically the article is inviting its readers, Rwandans and others, not to see any wrong doing from the Rwandan authorities who are crashing down any dissent voice or undesirable citizens as long as they are criminals. These practices are thoroughly similar to those of Hitler’s period when Jews where killed in millions while Goebbels’ propaganda machine explained and stressed to the public the reasons why it should legally be so.

Press Release
5 February 2010
Kigali. - On Thursday 4th February 2010, around 15:30 hrs at Hotel Leprentemps in Kimironko, Kigali, I was intimidated and threatened by an unknown man whom I suspect to be a security operative.
I went to the hotel to meet a colleague: Jean Paul MUDAHERANWA aka. Sunday. When I arrived, I observed the presence of two other men. One of them left in about 10 minutes.
Shortly thereafter, the other unknown man who remained behind, well-dressed, presumed to be in his late thirties, brown and tall, suddenly stood up and walked towards me. He said in a rather strong voice, “Frank, why don’t you recruit me in your party?." I responded to him that it was no problem, and asked him his name, but he declined to tell me.
I was disturbed by his abrupt aggressiveness and reference to what I had done two days ago and what I was to do later on Thursday evening. I was very surprised because the two events he referred to were factual.
PRESS RELEASE06.02.2010
KIGALI - read with consternation, the New Times of Saturday, 6th February 2010. The fire spitting media has revealed its true colors. The title on the front page “Ingabire’s assistant a Gacaca fugitive” alleging that Joseph Ntawangundi was sentenced to 19 years in absentia, is pure fabrications of “the last times”.Joseph Ntawangundi left Rwanda in 1986 for studies in Poland (Wroclaw), returned to Rwanda in 1992 and worked in Kigali (CESTRAL). In 1993, he left Rwanda for ICFTU - AFRO (international confederation for free trade unions, African Regional Organisation, NAIROBI, Kenya) as a Research and Training Officer until 2002. During the genocide, Mr. Joseph Ntawangundi was attending, on behalf of the ICFTU – AFRO, a 2-month training course in Sweden (GANGNEF) and returned to Kenya.
He has never been in the education sector in Rwanda. How possibly could he be in Sweden and back to Kenya and the same time be a so-called School Director in GITWE (Rwanda) during the genocide? Simply the inflammatory reporters don’t even crosscheck what they write when it comes to character assassination.
Since Mrs. Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza returned to Rwanda, this media has been recklessly poisoning ahead anyway with all sorts of stories without giving any chance to discuss the accuracy of its propaganda.
Mr. Joseph Ntawangundi is ready to challenge the allegations in a court of law.
We don’t believe Gacaca has fallen this low to condemn an innocent who was not even in Rwanda during the genocide, and for crimes committed in a place he has never been to.
This hate and baseless propaganda is another shame in the press history.

The new Foreign Affairs minister of Belgium, Steven Vanackere (CD&V), recently visited the great lakes region. On January 25th, Belgium newspaper De Standaard reports:
`Vanackere benadrukt dat hij in Congo, Rwanda en Burundi geen enkel gespreksthema uit de weg is gegaan. ‘Zo heb ik in Congo het hoofd van de militaire justitie erop gewezen dat je geen opleiding nodig hebt om te weten dat je niet moet verkrachten.'En aan de Rwandese president Paul Kagame — voor wie De Gucht altijd een stuk milder was dan voor Kabila — zei Vanackere dat hij bezorgd was over het gebrek aan een oppositiepartij.`

[L'ACTE CRIMINEL DE COUPER LES TETES EN LES SEPARANT DE LEURS CORPS POUR FAIRE DES ETALAGES. C'EST INACCEPTABLE.
LES RWANDAIS (HUTU, TUTSI ET TWA CONFONDUS) ONT DROIT A L'USAGE DE LA DNA=> ASI]
Certains y voient une plaisanterie de mauvais goût, voire un cynisme poussé à son paroxysme, lorsque le régime FPR décide et impose, malgré l’identité des cadavres qui y reposent, qu’il s’agit d’un haut-lieu pour le génocide des tutsis. Une affirmation exclusive !
Des tutsis interrogés à ce sujet, qui ont préféré garder l’anonymat, sont très gênés et affirment qu’il s’agit d’un jeu politique qui finira avec le temps. Les plus téméraires avouent que Gisozi est une douloureuse épine dans le pied de la réconciliation nationale, qui tarde à venir.
