 Theogene Rudasingwa | April 4, 2011

Mr. Theogene Rudasingwa, former first post- genocide Rwandan ambassador to the U.S

 What if you were sentenced to prison for writing negatively about the U.S. government?
This is the reality for Theogene Rudasingwa, former secretary-general for the Rwandese Patriotic Front, and many of his colleagues.

Rudasingwa recently was convicted by Rwanda President Paul Kagame and sentenced to 24 years in prison for writing about Kagame’s oppressive regime and the need for peaceful reform. The paper that Rudasingwa co-authored is called “The Rwanda Briefing.”

In the briefing, Rudasingwa and his colleagues share information about the current administration that is in place in Rwanda. They discuss how Kagame is a corrupt leader who does not allow for political opposition and actually uses his ties with the western countries as a way to hold his “monopoly of power.” Rudasingwa is part of the reason Kagame has these ties. As the first post-genocide Rwandan ambassador to the U.S., he helped the flow of resources from U.S. companies for the reconstruction of Rwanda. “The U.S. and the U.K. have been friendly to Kagame,” says Rudasingwa. “He uses those friendships for intimidation purposes.” 

Rudasingwa thinks that the U.S. and other big western countries need to throw their weight behind the people instead of the government. He also sees the current situation in the Middle East as an opportunity for the people of Rwanda to gain and use the support of the U.S.

“It will depend on if the situation in Libya drags on,” says Rudasingwa. “If it goes quickly, then Rwanda could get help, but if it drags on, then the western countries are likely to shy away.”

Bill Smith, director of the university's Martin Institute, compares this to the U.S. involvement in Somalia.

“Somalia happened a few months before the Rwandan civil war and genocide,” says Smith. “If that went smoother and quicker, there’s a chance the U.S. would have stepped in and helped Rwanda.”

However, the message is far different from the current situation in Libya. Rudasingwa and his colleagues want to build the citizens freedoms peacefully.

“The people of Rwanda still have not recovered from the war and genocide in the early 1990s,” says Rudasingwa. “They do not want more war and more bloodshed.” According to Rudasingwa, more than 1 million people were killed in the Rwandan genocide.“Egypt is a great example of peaceful change,” says Rudasingwa. “Once militaries get involved, the fight for change becomes more difficult.” 

Rudasingwa will be speaking at the 2011 Borah Symposium, which addresses "Human Security in the 21st Century."

“It’s great that this year’s theme is highlighting human security,” says Rudasingwa.

Human security is essentially being free from oppression and fear. Both of these are things, he notes, that the Rwandan people have been experiencing for many years.

He hopes to educate the students at the University of Idaho on the broader view of human security. Rudasingwa says that the situation in Rwanda, as well as the Middle East, may affect the average college student more then they know. He also sees a great importance in speaking at University of Idaho because of the idealism of college students.

“Many college students want to change the world,” he says. “We need to tap into that resource because the youth truly are the leaders of tomorrow.”

Rudasingwa feels that students everywhere need to be aware of what is happening around the world because it affects us all, even here in Idaho.

“It is imperative that people be involved,” he says. “If the U.S. was to get involved then that is American tax dollars and American lives that will be affected.”

He said it is like the “Butterfly Effect” because the actions of the world have a far lying affect.
“Being future leaders, these are the challenges that they will be facing and need to face,” he says. “Students are motivated by these causes; they don’t have as much baggage as my generation does and have fewer restraints.”

The first lady if Ivory Cost Mrs Simone Gbagbo beforeBeing humiliated and raped by Mr Ouattara's forces France denied participation in the infamous rape

Robert Hood says: We reported on the capture of Ivory Coast’s former president earlier today. You can read the full story here. The former president was clinging to power even after clearly losing an election. It seems that he deserved to be thrown out of office. However, this picture of his captured wife is disturbing. I hope the former first lady is alright.


After a week of heavy fighting, forces backing Ivory Coast's internationally recognized leader on Monday arrested strongman Laurent Gbagbo, who had refused to leave the presidency despite losing elections more than four months earlier.

Humiliation of Africa. No one should be happy for such human rights violations Mrs Simone Gbagbo raped? Abu Ghraib Abuse Photos?

The dispute over the presidency had pushed the world's largest cocoa producer to the brink of a renewed civil war, with hundreds of civilians slain in post-election violence.


An eyewitness at the Golf Hotel where election winner Alassane Ouattara had been trying to run the presidency said he saw Gbagbo, his wife and son enter the hotel around midday Monday. The witness spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.


The long-awaited development came after French military forces in this former French colony deployed tanks Monday for the first time near a bunker at the presidential residence where Gbagbo had reportedly been holed up with his family.

OMDAT DE DATUM VAN HET DEBAT IS VERPLAATST, IS DE ACTIE OOK VERPLAATST. 12 APRIL IS DE DEFINITIEVE DATUM. KOMT ALLEN EN NODIG NOG VEEL MEER ANDERE STUDENTEN UIT


 Het kabinet dreigt het collegegeld met 3.000 euro te verhogen voor studenten met meer dan een jaar studievertraging. Dit betekent dat studenten de kans ontnomen wordt om zich verder te ontplooien met bijvoorbeeld bestuurservaring of een stage. Daarnaast wordt er 200 miljoen bezuinigd op universiteiten en HBO’s, ondanks een toenemend aantal studenten.







Deze onderwijsplannen bedreigen de betaalbaarheid en de kwaliteit van het hoger onderwijs. Dat is onacceptabel en heeft geleid tot massaal protest van studenten en docenten op 21 januari. Het kabinet heeft zich hier niets van aangetrokken en negeert al die mensen die opkomen voor hun toekomst en de toekomst van het hoger onderwijs.

Wij – studenten uit het hele land – zijn hier woedend over en zullen opnieuw massaal de straat op gaan tegen dit asociale en kortzichtige beleid. Op de
dag van het Kamerdebat zullen we ons protest naar de deur van de Tweede Kamer brengen. We roepen alle studenten en docenten op om op te komen voor goed en betaalbaar onderwijs en zich bij ons aan te sluiten.

*De demonstratie vindt plaats op de dag van het debat in de Tweede Kamer. 12 april is definitief. Kijk voor meer informatie op  http://www.studenteninactie.nu

The presidents of the African states of Rwanda and Burundi have been killed in a plane crash near the Rwandan capital, Kigali.  (Watch video)

Ms Ingabire Victoire The would-be President of Rwanda And now in Prison

" Let's remember ALL victims", Ingabire victoire at Gisozi Memorial site.

Juvenal Habyarimana of Rwanda and Burundi's Cyprian Ntayamira were among 10 people on the aircraft which some reports say was brought down by rocket fire.

"Then there is the fact that Kagame's forces went into action within an hour of the shoot-down and that, within 100 days, succeeded in capturing state power in Rwanda. The alleged Hutu Power conspirators seem to have been in complete disarray, while Kagame's forces worked with great efficiency, which again points to a Kagame-RPF conspiracy to seize state power, rather than a Hutu conspiracy to eliminate the country's minority Tutsi.

We also stress the fact that the United States voted to scale down UN peacekeeping forces in Rwanda, and that this was what Kagame wanted, but the remnant of the Hutu government opposed. Again, this is consistent with the view that Kagame's RPF was doing the main killing, and didn't want anybody to interfere with it. Why would Kagame and his U.S. ally oppose "humanitarian intervention" in Rwanda, unless events were working out in favor of the RPF's goal of seizing the Rwandan state? Jones not only fails to deal with these critical questions. He doesn't even raise them.

Tsunami? Liberation?

Jones claims that Kagame and the RPF did not align with the Tutsi of Rwanda, the invading RPF allegedly having "no connection to, and apparently no particular sympathy for, the Tutsi civilian population of Rwanda." Jones fails to mention the long historic class division and warfare between Tutsi and Hutu, and the creation of many hundreds of thousands of Hutu refugees after the RPF invasion of Rwanda in October 1990, the Tutsi-organized assassination of the Hutu president Melchior Ndadaye of neighboring Burundi in October 1993, and the ensuing large-scale bloodbaths that followed.



He fails to mention the internal State Department memorandum of September 1994 which we cite that claims that the "[RPF] and Tutsi civilian surrogates [were killing] 10,000 or more Hutu civilians per month, with the [RPF] accounting for 95% of the killing," and that the memorandum "speculated that the purpose of the killing was a campaign of ethnic cleansing intended to clear certain areas in the south of Rwanda for Tutsi habitation."
Bloody feuding between the majority Hutu tribe and the minority Tutsis has plagued both tiny central African states for centuries.


More than 3 millions Rwandans lost their lives since the beginning of Kagame's wars.

Shockingly, it is  it is estimated that not only Tutsis lost their lives but Hutus have lost more and the genocide goes ahead if nothing is done to before the mastermind's term is out. So on ‘April 6, Remembrance Day’, remember not only the people who have died in 1994, but the other preventable Kagame's massmurder that will happen before the end of the 2017. And then ask yourself, what can I do to make sure that no more Rwandans  are grieving for their loved ones during this period.”

 So that we can avoid having further victims, and a population of 8 million Hutus can be preserved!
 We are a forward- looking nation of hope, but as much as we want to be a forward-looking people, April 6 each year, African SurViVors International,  urges all Rwandans to look back and reflect on the sacrifice of men and women who gave their life for the freedom of  Rwandan people (Hutu-Tutsi-Twa) and great nation.

Those who support the criminal Kagame should be strongly condemned so that they do not repeat it again. Those who shame you by their attempts to legalize Paul Kagame and the RPF criminals’ crimes should be treated as criminals too. For this I assume what I am saying. Please go through my blog and you will understand that you’re doings are to be condemned.
 
Let us remember that each one of the victims was an individual with a sense of prosperity and a dream of living a fulfilled life, but chose to make great sacrifice so that all Rwandans from all ethnic groups can live with freedom and democracy.

We usually condemn donor nations, Netherlands, Great Britain and United States for financing the bloody dictatorship and terrorist state in Rwanda but we ourselves are party to financing the RPF dictatorship by using their criminal organizations such us Ibuka, African rights, AVEGA, Local difense forces, MP, DMI and CID etc and other formal channels when transferring funds to our relatives and friends in Rwanda. The Rwandan Diaspora transfers more than $8 billion annually to Rwanda through both formal and informal channels such as banks and money transfer institutions, according to the National Central Bank of Rwanda in his last statement on the Rwandan Diaspora's contribution to buid up Kagame's autocratic regime.

The lack of criticism on RPF mass-slaughter has led to more deaths as the then major Paul Kagame had a green card to operate and slaughter the prejudiced Hutu out of camera.

Initially, the media imposed the version that the Rwandan Genocide was planned and carried out only by Hutus.It may be different from the actual ethnic group to which the individual himself identifies and ethnic group in which the individual is classified by the holder of power). But against all odds, after spending more than a billion dollars (U.S.) and employing the intelligence services of the United States, England, Canada, Belgium and Israel, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), has yet to find any physical evidence for their thesis of a central planning of the genocide. This result was quite predictable from the outset. In fact, intelligence gathering was and still is Paul Kagame's best strength. His agents had infiltrated all spheres of Rwandan society even before October 1990. So, if evidence of planning the Rwandan Genocide by Hutus ever existed, Kagame would have made it available to the ICTR immediately and thus would have definitively silenced skeptics.

Tsunami? Liberation?

René Lemarchand uses the phrase "politically correct interpretation of the genocide" to refer to what we call the standard model of the "Rwandan Genocide," which the majority of historians defend even in the face of massive evidence to the contrary. Among the relevant facts that this "politically correct interpretation" downplays or suppresses are the overwhelming significance of the October 1, 1990 invasion of Rwanda by the RPF under U.S. and Ugandan sponsorship, a war of aggression (not a civil war) the immediate goal of which was the ouster of the Habyarimana-Hutu majority government and the capture of state power by this foreign proxy; the RPF's responsibility for the assassination of Habyarimana, the "triggering event" of the April-July 1994 bloodshed, and the evidence (which all too few scholars are willing to examine) that it was in fact the actions of the RPF from this moment onward that drove the carnage, with the RPF's longer-term goal of deepening and expanding its own (and U.S.) influence in Central Africa. In the real world, the "Rwandan Genocide" (i.e., the deaths of perhaps one million Rwandans from April through July, 1994) occurred within this historical context -- as have the far greater bloodbaths that Kagame's and Museveni's national armies, proxies, "elite networks," and collaborators unleashed against the DRC since 1994 in an effort to capture its natural resources, with uninterrupted U.S. support through the present day.

There is no doubt that Lemarchand's warning makes a sound critical point about the dominant historiography on Rwanda -- a great deal of fear haunts the halls of "Genocide Studies." The devastation in these tragic Central African theaters of conflict has been greatly facilitated by the political triumph of the "correct interpretation," and the rejection of the kind of "revisionism" and "denial" that would call the Western-supported aggressions and the rolling genocides of Paul Kagame and Yoweri Museveni by their proper names.

Honorable President William J. Clinton April 1, 2011Clinton Global Initiative No 01/TM/P/401
1301 Avenue des Americas, 37th Floor
New York, NY 10019
Fax: (212) 397-2256

Excellency Mr. President Clinton:

Please allow us to write you this letter imploring your kindness to help us give a second chance to a friend and a leader for the Rwandan people imprisoned in Rwanda for her political views.

We are a non-profit organization of Rwandan-Americans falling under the IRS 503(c) Exempt Status, Code 910: “Domestic organization with activities outside the U.S, Subtitle Q35: “International Democracy & Civil Society Development”. These are Organizations whose primary purpose is to carry out programs that support the development of democracy and civil society in countries outside of the United States to help promote democracy in foreign land and avoid the spread of failed states.

As our name says “Foundation for Freedom and Democracy in Rwanda”, we are deeply invested in helping the pro-democracy movement in Rwanda mostly by providing needed infrastructures for democracy to take place in Rwanda. We got particularly involved during the last presidential election campaign and have substantially worked alongside FDU-INKINGI, Green Party, and PS-IMBERAKURI opposition parties all of which unfortunately either failed to get registered or were simply barred from participating in the race for one reason or the other.

Of particular concern is the incarceration of Ms Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, the Chairperson of FDU-INKINGI who is in jail since October 2010. As you may know, Ms. Ingabire was charged with harboring genocide ideology, a thought crime according to the Rwandan law, inciting unsubstantiated divisionism and alleged collaboration with inexistent terrorist organization called Coalition of Democratic Forces (CDF) which no one has knowledge of except the Rwandan government. Suffice to say that the Rwandan prosecution came up with such a terrorist organization on the basis of e-mails that were presumably intercepted in the hands of Vital Uwumuremyi, a fugitive who happened to have worked for Ms. Victoire Ingabire as a real estate service broker. However, we also know that prior to that, the prosecution had confiscated Ms. Victoire Ingabire’s computers and all her other means of communication. They may therefore have tampered with them to come up with those e-mails.

Ms. Victoire Ingabire is a professional accountant and a mother of three who just misinterpreted false signs of human rights and civil liberties improvement in Rwanda deceivingly purported by the prevailing official narrative on Rwanda in the international media. She went back to Rwanda after 16 years in exile in the Netherlands because she thought that it was time for her to join other Rwandan politicians engaged in the pro-democracy movement and to give her contribution to the consolidation of political institutions in Rwanda. She only noticed that she had fallen victim of her high civility when her party was barred from registering for elections and she was subjected to mistreatment, intimidation, and ultimately was put in jail.

However, we all know that nobody on this planet has as much influence and respect with so many foreign leaders in general, and with President Kagame in particular, than you President Clinton. We've tried everything to help Ms Victoire Ingabire in vain and today we ask you Mr. President to help free an innocent woman who got taken in by RPF propaganda and has now unjustly lost the ability to go about her ordinary citizen business. Your influence has worked for so many people in so many places that we are confident it can also work in this case. Please intercede with President Paul Kagame on the behalf of Ms. Ingabire for all her supporters, her children and family to once again enjoy her inspiring, charismatic, caring and loving fellowship out of detention. The first Rwandan woman ever to attempt running for President of Rwanda in the Rwandan history, Ms. Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, deserves a second chance. May we also request Mr. President that you give us a date and time at your own convenience we can meet you to give you more information on her case?

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Respectfully,

Theophile Murayi, PhD

HILVERSUM (RNW) - De Nederlandse ambassadeur in Rwanda Frans Makken heeft de Rwandese oppositieleider Victoire Ingabire (United Democratic Forces) opgezocht in de gevangenis. Dat gebeurde afgelopen vrijdag, 1 april. Makken begeleidde een Nederlandse delegatie van 10 personen van de stichting Eenheid is Kracht.

Tijdens het bezoek, dat 30 minuten duurde, is gesproken over de omstandigheden waaronder Ingabire gevangen zit, over haar juridische procedure en over de Nederlandse steun aan Rwanda. Ingabire klaagde over het gebrek aan onafhankelijkheid van justitie, over de permanente bemoeizucht van de Rwandese overheid en de onmogelijkheid van een eerlijk proces.

Na de bijeenkomst heeft de Nederlandse ambassade contact opgenomen met de Rwandese minister van Justitie, Tharcisse Karugarama, om technische details van de zaak te bespreken. Volgens de ambassade is Ingabire, die 16 jaar in Nederland heeft gewoond, in goede gezondheid.

De 43-jarige Victoire Ingabire is vorig jaar na terugkeer naar haar vaderland opgepakt en zit vast in een gevangenis van Kigali. Ze wacht op haar proces. De politica wordt onder meer beschuldigd van het samenspannen met een terroristische groepering en het ontkennen van de Rwandese genocide van 1994.
De Nederlandse overheid steunt Justitie in Rwanda met 4,8 miljoen euro in 2011.

L’ambassadeur des Pays-Bas au Rwanda Frans Makken a rendu visite, le 1er avril, à Victorie Ingabire, leader du parti de l’opposition rwandaise FDU (Forces démocratiques unifiées) et actuellement en prison. Makken était en compagnie d’une délégation néerlandaise de dix personnes.

Pendant la visite, qui a duré 30 minutes, la délégation a discuté des circonstances de l’emprisonnement de Victoire Ingabire, de sa situation procédure juridique et de l’aide néerlandaise au développement accordée au Rwanda. De son côté, Victoire Ingabire a déploré l’absence d’une justice indépendante, l‘indiscrétion de l’administration rwandaise et l’impossibilité d’un procès juste.

Après l’entrevue, l’ambassade néerlandaise a contacté le ministre rwandais de la Justice Tharcisse Karugarama pour parler des détails techniques du cas d’Ingabire. D’après l’ambassade, la politicienne, qui a vécu aux Pays-Bas pendant 16 ans, est en bonne santé.

Victoire Ingabire est actuellement détenue à Kigali en attente de son procès. La justice rwandaise l'accuse d’activités terroristes et est à la recherche de preuves. Ingabire est retournée au Rwanda en janvier 2010 pour participer à la présidentielle. Elle est incarcérée depuis octobre dernier.

Le gouvernement néerlandais a accordé, cette année, une aide financière de 4,8 millions d’euros à la justice rwandaise.
