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

- Remember RPF massive electoral fraud in Rwanda
- Where are then donors and Sponsoring Organizations' sanctions?
- Why impunity remains ensured to Rwandan Jihad Criminals?
- The UK bears a heavy responsibility for this likelihood

Last Monday, the EU Electoral Observation Mission released its final report on the legislative elections held in Rwanda in September 2008. The presentation happened quite discreetly in Kigali, and the story was not picked up by the international press. When reading the report, one understands this discretion and why this release happened months after the date initially announced.
In his opening remarks at the Kigali press conference, the Chief Observer, British MEP Michael Cashman, stressed that “The process of democratisation in Rwanda since the end of the genocide is remarkable”. However, that is not really what the report implies.Although often hidden in technical language, the mission reports major flaws in the electoral process. For instance, in 76% of the polling stations observed, the ballot boxes were not sealed; in 73% of the cases the upper slot of the ballot box was not sealed after the end of voting, a fact which, in the report’s own prudent wording, “could have left room for potential electoral abuse”.
The consolidation process, a crucial moment as it is here that the results are “made”, is assessed by the mission as “poor or very poor with procedures not properly followed in 63.9% of the cases”. These percentages relate to operations observed by the mission, i.e. 576 polling stations out of a total of over 15,000. One can only image what has happened in places where no observers were present.
All this might be seen by some as minor defects without substantial impact on the outcome of the elections, were it not that the mission knows very well that the “imperfections” noted in its report are just the visible signs of a massive electoral fraud. Indeed, according to several of its members, the mission found out that the ruling Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) had been too efficient in intimidating the voters and fixing the ballot, as it obtained 98.39% of the vote.
This observation is based on a very robust sample size of 24.96% of the total vote (which gives a standard error for the smallest sample of under one percent). Realising that this result looked too “Stalinist”, the regime modified the results: officially the RPF obtained 78.76%, and two other parties were credited with 13.13% (PSD) and 7.50% (PL). Although the mission is fully aware of this manipulation, it is not mentioned in the report, which is thus as fake as the elections it pretends to analyse.
The “generosity” of the RPF of course does not in the least diminish the fact that this was a massive and centrally organised fraud. Indeed, it is as if no elections had taken place: it was the RPF that decided its share of the vote and that of the two other parties. There are at least two lessons in this story. The first is that less serious faults in elections elsewhere would lead to strong criticism and possibly sanctions by donors, but that Rwanda –as often in the past– escapes condemnation.
The Rwandans of course know that we know, and the message for them is all too clear: impunity remains ensured. This can only encourage the regime to continue pursuing its path of disastrous political governance, which will eventually lead to new massive violence. As the main bilateral donor of budget aid, the UK bears a heavy responsibility for this likelihood.
The second lesson relates to the EU observer mission. It is a useless way of spending taxpayers’ money if what is observed is not reported. As a matter of fact, it is worse than useless: it is counterproductive, as it sends a signal to the Rwandan regime that it need not worry about conducting free, fair and transparent elections in the future.
