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
Tuesday, September 27, 2011
[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.
So long as justice and accountability for RPF past and current crimes are ignored and delayed, Peace and Stability will remain illusive and impossible in Rwanda=>ASIF]
Published on : 27 September 2011 - 11:37am | By International Justice Tribune (RNW) The Netherlands is lobbying the European Court of Human Rights to allow the extradition of genocide suspects living in Europe to Rwanda, International Justice Tribune has learned.
By Mark Schenkel, Amsterdam
Officially the Dutch government does not consider the Rwandan legal system fit for extraditions. Human rights organizations and Dutch legal experts, asked for their reaction, criticise the Dutch initiative at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. Rwanda does not yet have a judiciary that is fully independent, they say.
“In theory, Rwanda is reforming its judiciary, but in practice those measures are still insufficient’’, said Carina Tertsakian from Human Rights Watch. Amnesty International and the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) are also surprised by the Dutch government’s initiative. Rwanda-expert Frederick Cowell: “In Rwanda, politicized processes still take place, without adequate rights for suspects.’’
According to the Dutch ministries of Foreign Affairs and Security & Justice, extraditions are not to be considered until Rwanda provides “the necessary guarantees’’ for independent legal procedures, regardless of a positive decision by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). A possible extradition treaty has to be voted on first by Dutch parliament.
Debate on the issue began when The Netherlands became involved in a legal case currently being considered by the ECHR. Its judges will have to decide whether or not to allow the extradition to Rwanda of Sylvère Ahorugeze, who is wanted for genocide and crimes against humanity. Ahorugeze, the former head of the Rwandan civil aviation authority, is suspected of having killed twenty-eight Tutsis in April 1994 in the Rwandan capital Kigali. He denies the charges.
Ahorugeze was arrested in July 2008 in Stockholm and the Swedish government decided he could be extradited to Rwanda. Ahorugeze’s lawyer is challenging this decision at the ECHR, but it is unclear when the court will give a ruling.
Dutch advice
The Netherlands is putting its weight behind the Swedish opinion that the extradition should go ahead, despite its criticism of Rwanda’s legal system and the official Dutch position that Rwanda is not ready for extraditions.
The International Justice Tribune has come into the possession of the written intervention of the Dutch representative at the ECHR, dated July 27th 2010. She writes, Rwanda has, “over the years (made) substantial and fundamental progress in furthering the rule of law’’. Since the mass killings of 1994, Rwanda has – through Dutch financial support – built new court houses and the “state-of-the-art-prison “Mpanga”, and has trained judges. Among the “most relevant developments’’ are the abolition of the death penalty and of life imprisonment in isolation.
Extradition floodgates
If the ECHR approves extradition, a flow of genocide suspects living in Europe could begin. Many of these people received asylum status after 1994 but in recent years suspicions have been mounting about the involvement of some in the 1994 events. Still, to this day not a single suspect has been extradited. Judges, including in Germany, France, Great Britain and Finland, have always blocked extraditions in appeal cases. Critics argue that in Sweden it was not the judiciary that decided to extradite Ahorugeze, but the government.
Larissa van den Herik is professor of Public International Law at Leiden University. She presumes that The Hague believes it will be useful if the ECHR has already cleared all legal obstacles, ready for when the Netherlands reaches a bilateral extradition treaty with Rwanda at a later date. In addition to that she believes political motives are in play, “The Netherlands is a driving force behind the reforms in the Rwandan legal system. If the ECHR approves extradition, that will also be seized on as confirmation of Dutch policy. The Dutch authorities clearly have an agenda.’’
Law not politics
The departments of Foreign Affairs and Security & Justice deny that the Netherlands is lobbying the ECHR because of political reasons. The Hague argues it is promoting extradition on a European level merely to draw attention to the positive effects of Dutch investments in the Rwandan legal system. “If the ECHR disapproves of extradition, that will also be a valuable verdict. Such a verdict (…) will refine the insight of the areas on which Rwanda still needs assistance to reach the level required by Europe.’’
Roelof Haveman, a Dutch legal consultant, believes Rwanda is ready to handle extradition cases. Haveman assisted the Rwandan government in setting up a training institute for the judiciary. He points out that in June this year the Rwanda-tribunal handed over the case of Jean Uwinkindi to Kigali, the first time this has happened.
Critics argue that the Netherlands already encouraged the ECHR last year to allow extradition, well before the Rwanda-tribunal handed over the Uwinkindi-case. “But back then it was clear already that the Rwandan legal system was moving in the right direction’’, Haveman said.
Haveman points out how aware Rwanda is of the outside world's watchful eyes on its proceedings. “Kigali realises that any genocide case will be closely followed and therefore needs to be flawless. Otherwise, European countries might put a hold on further extraditions.’’ Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and the CHRI do not share Havemans opinion.
They point to the case against Victoire Ingabire, the opposition leader who is on trial in Rwanda for alleged ties to a terrorist organization. The case of Ingabire is high profile, but nevertheless president Paul Kagame has publicly stated that Victoire Ingabire belongs behind bars. A fair trial is therefore impossible say critics, improved judiciary in Rwanda or not.

African SurViVors International (AS International) is an international nonpartisan charity organization devoted to defending human rights. It’s an organization working to promote democracy and national reconciliation, inside countries of the African Great lakes Region.
AS International centers its work on the twin concepts of freedom of self-determination and freedom from tyranny. These ideals include the belief that all human beings have the rights to speak freely, to associate with those of like mind, and to leave and enter their countries. Individuals in a free society must be accorded equal treatment and due process under law, and must have the opportunity to participate in the governments of their countries;
AS International’s ideals likewise find expression in the conviction that all human beings have the right to be free from arbitrary detainment or exile and from interference and coercion in matters of conscience. ASI does not support nor condone violence.
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
