Wikipedia : The Kibeho Massacre occurred in a camp for internally displaced persons near Kibeho, in south-west Rwanda on April 22, 1995. Australian soldiers serving as part of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda consistently estimated at least 4,000 people in the camp were killed by soldiers of the military wing of the Rwandan Patriotic Front, known as the Rwandan Patriotic Army. The Rwandan Government's estimate of the number killed was about 330.
According to reliable information, 21,000 Hutus were cowardly mass-murdered by Kagame and his RPF.


On April 7, 2010, President Barack Obama marked the 17th anniversary of the "unimaginable slaughter" of Rwanda's 1994 genocide, saying it reminded the world of its duties to civilians in places like Libya. President Obama made no effort to dispel the myth used by Rwanda President Paul Kagame about the 1994 Rwanda genocide and the role played by the U.S. leading up to the genocide.

I used the word "myth" to describe the 1994 genocide. Yes, the 1994 Genocide was horrible, but it was just one episode in a long history of violence in that part of the world. The U.S. and Kagame keep focusing on the 1994 Genocide, but neglect to put it in context. If they did, their complicity in the genocide would be revealed. For a version of the 1994 Rwanda Genocide closer to the truth, I recommend the Report of the Independent Inquiry into the United Nations during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, dated December 15, 1999.

 How was it possible that two thousand persons, mostly women and children, could be massacred while living in an internationally designated camp for displaced persons in a small country with an overwhelming presence of international agencies? This happened in post-genocide Rwanda during the army’s operation to close Kibeho camp, despite a presence that included more than a dozen UN agencies, 120 non-governmental organizations and 5,500 UN peacekeepers. In her monograph, "The Protection Gap in the International Protection of Internally Displaced Persons:
This camp was situated some five hours west of the capital city of Kigali, close to the town of Kibeho, and was estimated to hold up to 100,000 displaced persons. Mourners stand today very far from Rwandan  Auschwitz Kibeho death camp  during the sixteenth anniversary remembrance of the ever bloody massacres that were implemented in accordance with the plan of the Rwandan Genocide.

 As we moved through the camp, we saw evidence that it had been cleared very quickly. The place was littered with the displaced persons’ belongings, left behind in the sudden panic of movement. It wasn’t until we moved deep into the camp that we found them, thousands of frightened people who had been herded closely together like sheep, huddled along a ridgeline that ran through the camp. The RPA had used gunfire to gather and drive these people into a close concentration. In the frenzy of sudden crowd movement, ten children had been trampled to death. As we drove closer, the huge crowd parted before us and people began to clap and cheer: they obviously expected a great deal more from us than we could offer.The next day, Thursday 19 April, we arrived at the camp at 8.30a.m. and moved through to what was designated the ‘Charlie Company’ compound, situated in the middle of the camp. Zambian troops on duty in the compound requested medical treatment for a woman who had given birth the previous night, as they thought that she ‘still had another baby inside her’. We arranged for the woman to be medically evacuated by air to Kigali, where it was discovered that she was suffering from a swollen bladder. We set up the casualty clearing post once again at the documentation point and, this time, went out to search for casualties.

RPA troops would frequently resort to firing their weapons into the air in an effort to control the crowd. At around 1.00 p.m., we heard sporadic fire, but could find no casualties. As the day wore on, tension mounted between the displaced persons and the RPA troops. We left the camp that evening amid the echoes of bursts of automatic fire. Leaving the camp was no easy feat because of the RPA roadblocks. We decided to follow a convoy carrying displaced persons out of the camp, but were held up when one of the convoy’s trucks became stuck in thick mud, blocking the exit road. Eventually we extricated ourselves and found a safe route out. Half an hour or so into our journey, we encountered a UNICEF official who informed us that he had received a radio message reporting that ten people had been shot dead in the camp. Because AMF personnel were not permitted to stay in the camp after dark, there was nothing we could do. We had no choice but to continue on to our base at Zambian headquarters.

 We set about the task of establishing a casualty clearing post and, after being moved on twice by RPA soldiers exercising their arbitrary authority, eventually negotiated a position just beyond the documentation area. We spent the day there and saw only one casualty, a UN soldier. We left the camp that day dogged by the frustrating sense of not being needed.On Friday, 20 April, we arrived in Kibeho at around 8.30 a.m. to find that thirty people had died during the night. Although the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) hospital was busy treating casualties, we were told our assistance was not required at this stage. We set up the casualty clearing post at the documentation area (for what was to be the last time) and initially treated a few patients who were suffering from colds and various infections. Most of these were given antibiotics and sent on their way. A number of ragged young children appeared and, out of sight of the RPA soldiers, we gave the children new, dry clothes, for which they were most grateful. We also found a man whose femur was broken and decided to remove him from the camp in the back of our ambulance when we finally left for the night.



That evening, as we were preparing to leave, we received a call for assistance from the MSF hospital. Six ‘priority one’ patients required urgent evacuation. We picked up these casualties, all suffering from gunshot and machete wounds, and prepared them to travel. We called in the helicopter and the patients were flown to a hospital in Butare. The man with the broken femur could not be flown out because the helicopter was not fitted to take stretchers, so we prepared him for an uncomfortable ride in the back of the ambulance.

 We returned to the Charlie Company compound where we found a man with a gunshot wound to the lung -- a sucking chest wound. He was in a serious condition. Because night was falling, we decided to evacuate him by road to the hospital in Butare along with the man with the broken femur. This meant negotiating the RPA checkpoints as we left the camp. As we persuaded our way through these checkpoints, Captain Carol Vaughan-Evans and Trooper Jon Church crouched in the rear of the ambulance, giving emergency treatment to the two patients.


We continued our journey accompanied by two military observers from Uruguay who were guiding us. We made steady progress for the next two hours until our front and rear vehicles became bogged. As efforts continued to recover the vehicles, Lieutenant Tilbrook decided to send the ambulance to the hospital as the patient with the chest wound was deteriorating. The two military observers were to accompany the ambulance. After a further hour and a half on the road, and with additional help from Care Australia, the patient was eventually handed over to the MSF hospital in Butare.

On Saturday, 22 April, we arrived at the camp to be told that the hospital was teeming with injured patients, but the MSF workers were nowhere to be found. We went to the hospital where the situation was absolutely chaotic. We saw about 100 people who had either been shot or macheted, or both. Their wounds were horrific and there was blood everywhere. One woman had been cleaved with a machete right through her nose down to her upper jaw. She sat silently and simply stared at us. There were numerous other people suffering from massive cuts to their heads, arms and all over their bodies. We immediately started to triage as many patients as possible, but just as we would begin to treat one patient, another would appear before us with far more serious injuries.


As we worked, we were often called upon to make snap decisions and to ‘play God’ by deciding which patients’ lives to save. We were forced to move many seriously injured victims to one side because we thought they would not live or because they would simply take too long to save. Instead, we concentrated on trying to save the lives of those people who, in our assessment, had a chance of survival.


At one point, an NGO worker took me outside the hospital to point out more casualties. There I discovered about thirty bodies, and was approached by a large number of displaced persons with fresh injuries. Jon Church and I were deeply concerned and returned to the hospital to triage patients. In amongst triaging priority one patients, Jon drew my attention to the patient he was treating. This man had a very deep machete wound through the eye and across the face. I saw Jon completely cover the wounded man’s face with a bandage. There was no danger that the patient would suffocate since he was breathing through a second wound in his throat. The wounded man was, however, very restless and difficult to control, and eventually we were forced to leave him, despite our belief that he would almost certainly die. Later that day he was brought to us again, his face still completely covered in a bandage. Whether the man finally survived his ordeal, only God knows.

As Jon and I worked with Lieutenant Rob Lucas (a nursing officer) to prioritise patients, members of the Australian infantry section stretchered them to the casualty clearing post. These soldiers worked tirelessly to move patients by stretcher from the hospital to the Zambian compound, which had become a casualty department. Meanwhile, the situation at the hospital was becoming increasingly dangerous, and we were ordered back to the compound. Some of the MSF workers had arrived by now and were trapped in the hospital. Our infantrymen went to retrieve them and bring them back to the safety of the compound. As our soldiers moved towards the hospital, they came under fire from a sniper within the crowd of displaced persons. The infantry section commander, Corporal Buskell, took aim at the sniper, and the latter, on seeing the rifle, disappeared into the crowd.

Our medical work continued unabated in the Zambian compound as the casualties flowed relentlessly. At about 10.00 a.m., some of the displaced persons attempted to break out and we saw them running through the re-entrants. We watched (and could do little more) as these people were hunted down and shot. The RPA soldiers were no marksmen: at times they were within ten metres of their quarry and still missed them. If they managed to wound some hapless escapee, they would save their valuable bullets, instead bayoneting their victim to death. This went on for two hours until all the displaced persons who had run were dead or dying.

The desperate work continued in the compound as we separated the treated patients, placing the more serious cases in the ambulance and the remainder in a Unimog truck. The firing intensified and the weather broke as it began to rain. We worked under the close security of our infantry as automatic fire peppered the area around us. We continued to treat the wounded, crouching behind the flimsy cover presented by the truck and sandbag wall. At one point, a young boy suddenly ran into the compound and fell to the ground. We later discovered that he had a piece of shrapnel in his lung. We managed to evacuate this boy by helicopter to the care of the Australian nurses in the intensive care unit at Kigali hospital. Every time a white person walks into his hospital room, he opens his arms to be hugged.

The automatic fire from the RPA troops continued; people were being shot all over the camp. When we had gathered about twenty-five casualties, we arranged to have them aeromedically evacuated to a hospital in Butare. While the ambulance was parked at the landing zone, a lone displaced person ran towards us with an RPA soldier chasing him. The soldier maintained a stream of fire at his fleeing victim, and rounds landed all around the ambulance. Jon and I ducked for cover behind its meagre protection. When the RPA soldier realised that some of his own officers were in his line of fire, he checked himself. The displaced person fell helplessly to the ground at the feet of the RPA officers. He was summarily marched away to meet an obvious fate.


It was about 4.00 p.m. by the time we started to load the patients onto helicopters, and, by 5.00 p.m., the job was complete. People began to run through the wire into the compound, and the Australian infantry found themselves alongside the Zambian soldiers pushing the desperate intruders back over the wire. This was a particularly delicate task, as some of the displaced persons were carrying grenades. As the last helicopter took off, about 2000 people stampeded down the spur away from the camp, making a frantic dash for safety. RPA soldiers took up positions on each spur, firing into the stampede with automatic rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and a 50-calibre machine-gun. A large number of people fell under the hail of firepower. Fortunately, at this stage, it began to rain heavily, covering the escape of many of those fleeing. Bullets flew all around, and we made a very hasty trip back to the Zambian compound with the rear of the ambulance full of infantry.

Once back in the compound, we watched the carnage from behind sandbagged walls. Rocket-propelled grenades landed among the stampeding crowd, and ten people fell. One woman, about fifty metres from where we crouched, suddenly stood up, with her hands in the air. An RPA soldier walked down to her and marched her up the hill with his arm on her shoulder. He then turned and looked at us, pushed the woman to the ground and shot her.

 As the rain eased, so did the firing. I was standing in the lee of the Zambian building when a young boy wearing blood-soaked clothing jumped the wire and walked towards me. I put my gloves on and the boy shook my hand and pointed to where a bullet had entered his nose, indicating to me that the bullet was still caught in his jaw. We took the boy with us and, given that the firing had died down and darkness had fallen, we put him into the ambulance next to a man with an open abdominal wound, and prepared them for the long journey to hospital by road.

As we left the camp, Jon and another medic saw a small child wandering alone. They made an instant decision to save the child, putting her in the ambulance as well. We then faced the unwanted distraction of a screaming three-year-old girl while we were frantically working on two seriously wounded patients. We knew also that the RPA would search the vehicle and any displaced persons without injuries would be taken back to the camp. I decided to bandage the girls’s left arm in order to fake a wound. The first time we were searched, the girl waved and spoke to the RPA soldiers. So we moved her up onto the blanket rack in the ambulance, strapped her in, and gave her a biscuit. The next time we were searched, the girl just sat and ate her biscuit, saying nothing. The RPA soldiers never knew she was there. After being held up at a roadblock for an hour, the convoy, which included all the NGO workers, made its way out of the camp. All the patients were taken to Butare Hospital, while the little girl was taken to an orphanage where we knew an attempt would be made to reunite her with her mother, in the unlikely event that she was still alive.

Money talks Kagame and RPF enjoy impunity President Obama should help Rwandans to end Kagame's impunity

We re-entered the camp at 6.30 a.m. on Sunday, 23 April. While our mission was to count the number of dead bodies, Warrant Officer Scott and I went first to look around the hospital. Inside there were about fifteen dead. We entered one room and a small boy smiled then grinned at us. Scotty and I decided we would come back and retrieve this boy. I took half the infantry section and Scotty took the other half, and we walked each side of the road that divided the camp.


On one side of the road, my half-section covered the hospital that contained fifteen corpses. In the hospital courtyard we found another hundred or so dead people. A large number of these were mothers who had been killed with their babies still strapped to their backs. We freed all the babies we could see. We saw dozens of children just sitting amidst piles of rubbish, some crouched next to dead bodies. The courtyard was littered with debris and, as I waded through the rubbish, it would move to expose a baby who had been crushed to death. I counted twenty crushed babies, but I could not turn over every piece of rubbish.


The Zambians were collecting the lost children and placing them together for the agencies to collect. Along the stretch of road near the documentation point, there were another 200 bodies lined up for burial. The other counting party had seen many more dead than we had. There were survivors too. On his return to camp, Jon saw a baby who was only a few days old lying in a puddle of mud. He was still alive. Jon picked the baby up and gave him to the Zambians. At the end of our grisly count, the total number recorded by the two half-sections was approximately 4000 dead and 650 wounded.

We returned to the Zambian compound and began to treat the wounded. By now we had been reinforced with medics and another doctor. With the gunfire diminished, we were able to establish the casualty clearing post outside the Zambian compound and, with extra manpower and trucks to transport patients, we managed to clear about eighty-five casualties. A Ghanaian Army major approached Scotty and I to collect two displaced persons who had broken femurs from another area nearby. We lifted the two injured men into the back of the major’s car. It was then that we noticed all the dead being buried by the RPA in what I believe was an attempt to reduce the body count. The Zambians also buried the dead, but only those who lay near their compound.


We had been offered a helicopter for an aeromedical evacuation. We readied our four worst casualties, placing them on the landing zone for evacuation. The RPA troops came, as they always did, to inspect those being evacuated. At the same time, a Zambian soldier brought us a small boy who had been shot in the backside. The RPA told us that we could only take three of the casualties, as the fourth was a suspect. I argued and argued with an RPA major, but met with unbending refusal. He did tell us, however, that we could take the small boy who we hadn’t even asked to take, so we quickly put the boy into the waiting helicopter. The RPA officer then demanded that one of his men, who had been shot, be evacuated in the helicopter. I tried to bargain with the RPA major. In return for taking his soldier to hospital, I asked that we be allowed to evacuate the fourth casualty. His reply was final: ‘Either my man goes or no-one goes’. It was time to stop arguing.

RPA/RDF showing their inhumane actions Killing innocent people only because they happen to be born Hutus

The majority of patients we evacuated that day were transported on the back of a truck. The pain caused by the jolting of the truck would have been immense, but even this amount of pain was better than death. Jon and I took another load of patients to the landing zone, as they were to go on the same helicopter as the CO and the RSM. To our amazement, we were recalled and watched in frustration as the helicopter was filled with journalists. That day, all our patients left unaccompanied.


Just before our departure that evening, Jon and I were called to look at a man who had somehow fallen into the pit latrine, which was about 12 feet deep. I suppose he thought this to be the safest place. We left the camp at about 5.00 p.m. and spent the night at the Bravo Company position which was only half an hour away.


On Monday, 24 April, we returned to the camp which, at this stage, held only about 400 people. The RPA had set up a recoilless rifle, which pointed at one of the buildings they claimed housed Hutu criminals who had taken part in the 1994 genocide. Throughout the morning we saw displaced persons jumping off the roof of the building and, on two occasions, we saw AK 47 assault rifles being carried. The RPA gave us until midday to clear the camp, at which time they stated that they would fire the weapon into the building. We knew this would kill or injure the vast majority of those left in the camp.


Meanwhile the Zambians were busy digging two men out of the pit latrines. They were quite a sight when they were pulled out. The Zambian major planned to sweep through the building and push people out, and wanted us to bolster his ranks. Obtaining permission from headquarters to help the Zambians proved something of an ordeal, to my mind, the result of a surfeit of chiefs. Consequently, we were a crucial ten minutes late helping them.


We discovered a number of injured people huddled in a room directly adjacent to the building containing the Hutus. As we moved in to retrieve the casualties, a Hutu pointed his weapon at us, but rapidly changed his mind when ten Australian rifles were pointed straight back at him. We used this building as a starting point, evacuating all those in the room in Red Cross trucks. It was at this point that we struck a major obstacle. The criminal element within the camp had spread the word that those who accompanied the white people from the camp would be macheted to death on reaching their destination. This was widely believed and, as a result, only a few people could be persuaded to leave the camp that morning. On several occasions, women handed over their children to us, believing that ‘the white people will not kill children’.

Do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain.

Kagame criminal records Still enjoys impunity Kibeho mass-murder 22/04/1995

The Australians found the attitude of these people incredibly frustrating. We could find no way to convince the majority of the displaced persons to leave Kibeho for the safety that we could provide. Many said that it was better to die where they were than to die in another camp. Even when we did succeed in persuading some to leave, a Hutu would often appear and warn those people that they would be macheted if they left with the Australians. This was a warning that never went unheeded.

At 2.00 p.m. that day, we were rotated out of the camp. We felt sick with resentment at leaving the job incomplete, but there was very little that we could have done for those people. We estimated that at least 4000 people had been killed over that weekend. While there was little that we could have done to stop the killings, I believe that, if Australians had not been there as witnesses to the massacre, the RPA would have killed every single person in the camp.

 Why we remember the Holocaust?

 Watch the video to understand.







 Dear Jean-Christophe,

 At the Museum's dedication in 1993, Elie Wiesel told the crowd:

Liberators at the Capitol Rotunda during Days of Remembrance in 2010

"For the dead and the living, we must bear witness. For not only are we responsible for the memories of the dead, we are also responsible for what we are doing with those memories."

If you saw the video of Elie Wiesel that Museum Director Sara Bloomfield sent a few weeks ago, you understand the urgency of Elie's words. This spring the Museum honors Elie Wiesel with the inaugural United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Award for his extraordinary contributions to humanity. You still have time to send him a note of appreciation.

The Museum continues to fulfill its mandate by leading the annual National Days of Remembrance, May 1-8, 2011. Here in Washington, D.C., and throughout the country, people of all backgrounds will come together to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust. The Museum is assisting hundreds of elected officials and thousands of United States military lead commemorations of the Holocaust in their communities and on military bases across the globe. To easily locate Days of Remembrance activities occurring near you, view our map.

In this time of remembrance, the Museum is focusing on memories of children—the world's most vulnerable victims of war and genocide. Remember Me? is a far-reaching online effort to identify 1,100 photos of children displaced during the Holocaust. I'm happy to report that the public has already helped us identify 40 of these children (now adults living all over the world). Details about many other photos continue to pour in and will be shared on the Remember Me? Web site and via Facebook and Twitter. Please visit the site today and tell your family and friends about this important project.
Finally, a special thank you to more than a thousand of you who have submitted your notes of appreciation to Elie Wiesel. Here is one that touched me and my colleagues at the Museum.

"I honor you for being the voice of millions who cannot speak for themselves. I hope that you yourself can find peace and comfort in knowing that millions stand with you—we will not forget."

Sincerely,

Lorna Miles
Chief Marketing Officer

[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 hand, 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]

Ms. Ingabire Victoire the Would-be president of Rwanda and now in Prison

L’ambassadeur des Pays-Bas au Rwanda Frans Makken a rendu visite le 1er avril 2011, à Victore Ingabire, leader du parti de l’opposition rwandaise FDU (Forces démocratiques unifiées) et actuellement en prison. Makken était en compagnie d’une délégation de jeunes faisant partie d’une organisation des droits de l’homme basée à Rotterdam.

Dans un reportage du journal néerlandais Nieuwsuur au sujet de la visite à Ingabire, on y voit une Victoire Ingabire souriante qui semble n’avoir perdu ni le moral ni la combativité. Elle montre la celulle dans laquelle elle est détenue: un lit, une télé et des fenêtres peints en noir car “personne ne peut me voir et je ne peux voir personne.” dit-elle. “Alors, quand il n’y a pas d’électricité, je reste dans le noir pendant toute la journée” continue-t-elle encore.
Quant à la question de savoir si elle est en sécurité dans sa cellule, elle répond que tant qu’elle est dans les mains du gouvernement, ils ne peuvent rien lui faire sinon ils devront en porter la responsabilité.


Prison: La justice rwandaise l’accuse d’activités terroristes et est à la recherche de preuves.Son avocat néerlandais, Jan Hofdijk, a dit que les accusations contre Ingabire sont “des inventions” et que la justice rwandaise “crée des accusations et des preuves”. Ingabire elle-même s’est dite étonnée de voir qu’on l’accuse d’activités terroristes car rien de cela n’est mentionné dans son dossier.

Le procureur général a expliqué au journaliste de Nieuwsuur qu’il y a des preuves contre Ingabire mais qu’il ne pensait pas que la justice néerlandaise collaborerait avec le Rwanda. Cependant, il y a quelques mois, une perquisition a eu lieu au domicile de Victoire Ingabire aux Pays-bas. Des documents et des ordinateurs ont été saisis, mais aucun élément n’a jusqu’à ce jour été envoyé à la justice rwandaise car le juge néerlandais n’a pas encore pris une décision à ce sujet.


“Je n’ose pas aller à Kigali” a dit l’avocat de Ingabire. Il dit y être persona non grata. Le sort qui a été infligé à son homologue américain Peter Erlinder, président de l’Association des avocats de la défense du TPIR, en dit long sur ce qui pourrait lui arriver s’il s’avise d’aller à Kigali. En effet, Peter Erlinder qui était venu prendre part à la défense de l’opposante Victoire Ingabire fut arrêté le 28 mai 2010 . Emprisonné lui-même pendant trois semaines pour « négation du génocide », il avait été relâché sous caution pour « raisons médicales ». Les autorités rwandaises avaient cependant précisé qu’il pourrait être convoqué par la justice à tout moment.

“C’est un régime dictatorial avec des traits de perfidie” s’est prononcé encore l’avocat d’Ingabire.

Quant à la question de savoir combien de temps Ingabire restera en prison, l’avocat d’Ingabire a répondu que cela dépend du soutien que l’occident donne à Kagame. “Si l’occident voit enfin que Kagame est quelqu’un qui a sa place à Den Haag (NDLR à la Court Pénale Internationale) afin qu’il y rende comptes des bombardements commis sur les camps de réfugiés, des assassinats de ses opposants ou encore de femmes et d’enfants”
“Il y a des rapports qui ont étés faits, donc que dois-je dire encore? Sa place est à Den Haag” termine-t-il.
Victoire Ingabire, qui après 16 ans d’exile était retournée au Rwanda afin de participer aux élections présidentielles d’août 2010, est actuellement détenue depuis 184 jours à la prison de Kigali en attente de son procès.

Pendant longtemps, l'attitude, le comportement vis-à-vis de Paul Kagame et les affirmations de Bernard Kouchner se sont avérés hypocrites et sinistres.
African SurViVors International demande à l'Union Européenne et aux Nations Unies et à la France de mettre en lumière la véracité de ces accusations. En faite , une enquête serait mise en place pour établir les liens dans ce trafic d'organes et l'aide humaniitare au Kosovo et au Rwanda.

Le luxe et Bernard Kouchner sous de faux airs humanitaires. Bernard Kouchner ou Selleck ça pas d´importance. Bernard Kouchner est connu pour avoir travaillé longtemps avec les dictateurs africains dont Bongo et Kagame.  Moralité de cette histoire, n'hésitez pas à faire des dons pour le tsunami, le génocide, etc, et autres miséreux dans le besoin, cet argent se retrouve toujours entre les bonnes mains. »

Bernard Kouchner et Tony Blair  se moquent de qui?

Sous de faux airs humanitaires, des Hutus Rwandais, des Serbes du Kosovo ont été victimes d’une propagande médiatique à grande échelle supervisée par Bernard Kouchner.

Tout a été fait pour faire croire au monde entier que Bernard Kouchner était avant tout HUMANITAIRE.
 pour aider les malheureux Rwandais victimes d'un génocide. Plus tard, vous aurez des informations sûres sur ce génocide: Bernard Kouchner savait que le Président Habyarimana allait être assassiné. Nous présupposons qu'il ne va pas nous traiter d'assassins (des Serbes victimes et survivants) ou de génocidaires (des Hutus victimes et survivants).

 Ce n'est pas tout!
Récemment à propos du Haïti:- La première réaction du ministre français des affaires étrangères, M. Kouchner, quelques heures à peine après la catastrophe, alors que des milliers d’Haïtiens sont ensevelis sous les ruines que les morts se comptent déjà par dizaines de milliers et les sans-abris par millions est : « il faut préserver l’ordre, arrêter les pillages, garantir les propriétés » !
 Trafic d’organes au Kosovo : un rapport accablant. Mais qu'en est-il du Rwanda?

Plusieurs médias serbes ont accusés Bernard Kouchner d'avoir couvert le scandale des trafics d'organes. À l'affaire de la Maison jaune, par référence à la couleur de la clinique clandestine où des organes étaient prélevés sur plus de 300 prisonniers civils serbes avant qu'ils ne soient exécutés, qui a été attestée par l'ancienne procureur du TPI Carla del Ponte dans son livre La Traque, les criminels de guerre et moi (...). 4 ans après les faits, les enquêteurs de Mme Del Ponte ont localisés la Maison jaune à Burrell (Albanie), mais n'ont pu y trouver d'indices permettant de reconstituer la filière. Le Conseil de l'Europe a fait ouvrir une nouvelle enquête.
En répondant à la presse, Bernard Kouchner ne manifeste aucune compassion pour les victimes et leurs familles.
Il choisit d'ironiser la complicité passive qu'on lui impute en niant l'existence du crime. En outre, il qualifie de "salauds et d'assassins » ceux qui colportent cette rumeur ; des propos qui incluent Carla Del Ponte. Un point gênant remet en question l'engagement humanitaire de Bernard Kouchner sur fond de business de traffic d'organes avec son complice et meilleur ami Paul Kagame.

Le French doctor avec le boucher de Byumba Où sont les cadavres de Byumba, de Mulindi? Où ont ils été gazés, insinérés? Les corps des victimes ont disparus!

Question: Peuvent-ils accpeter qu'une unquête soit mise en place pour faire la lumière sur ce côté jusquà'présent sinistre?? Les Survivants rwandais ont tant besoin de savoir ce qui s'est passé, savoir où sont les corps des leurs.

African SurViVors International (ASI) 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.

ASI 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;

ASI’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

[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 hand, 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]

 Suivant le refus du FPR pour les membres du Parti Social Imberakuri de visiter le président fondateur du parti le Me NTAGANDA Bernard ainsi que d’autres prisonniers politiques détenus à la prison centrale de Kigali et de Kimironko ce vendredi le 15 Avril 2011 ;

Considérant la mise en isolation à la prison de Kimironko du secrétaire permanent et porte parole du Parti Social Imberakuri, monsieur MWIZERWA Sylivere et l’injustice parue au procès de ses 3 partisans hier à la haute cour de Gasabo, , le Parti Social IMBERAKURI porte à la connaissance du peuple rwandais, aux amis du Rwanda en général et aux Imberakuri en particulier ce qui suit :

1er article

Comme d’habitude pour tous les vendredis les partisans du Parti Social Imberakuri sont allés rendre visite le président fondateur du Parti Social Imberakuri le Me NTAGANDA Bernard ainsi que les autres prisonniers politiques à la prison centrale de Kigali connue sous le nom de 1930. Malgré la volonté et la pitié de les voir encore de ces partisans le FPR a été hostile car tous ont été privés de leur droits de visiter. Ils sont rentres comme ils étaient venus. C’est très grave et hostile!

Article 2

Comme nous l’avons dit et nous le soulignons encore le Parti Social Imberakuri a peur de son secrétaire permanent et porte parole monsieur MWIZERWA Sylivere et ses collègues prisonniers à la prison de Kimironko en plus de cela ils sont encore en isolation où ils sont torturé jour et nuit. En plus de cela, on est allé les voir mais on ne les a pas fait sortir.

Article 3

Le Parti Social Imberakuri s’inquiet de la justice rwandaise où on ne peut pas différencier la justice et le pouvoir ainsi que le FPR car aucun dossier politique passe en transparence. Considérant le procès renouvelé hier par la haute cour de Gasabo à Rusororo où le procureur accuse les 3 partisans du Parti Social Imberakuri, messieurs SHYIRAMBERE Dominique, YUMVIHOZE Célestin et HABIYAREMYE Donatien d’avoir participé à la grève non permise, de coopérer avec les terroristes et de semer la panique dans la population. Rappelons que ce procès était rapporte parce que le ministère public n’avait pas montré que les accuses étaient arrêtés de manière légale. Le juge a dit qu’il donne la faveur au ministère public pour qu’il puisse aller chercher les copies et les arguments ce qui a amené l’inquiétude au coté de la défense des accusés disant qu’il est allé forger et falsifier le dossier. Imaginez-vous la justice qui favorise le ministère public à falsifier les dossiers pour faire rester les innocents dans la prison.

Article 4

Le Parti Social IMBERAKURI réitère son appel pressant auprès de la communauté internationale qu’il est grand temps de venir à la rescousse du peuple rwandais avant qu’il ne soit trop tard.

Fait à Kigali, le 15avril2011
BAKUNZIBAKE Alexis.

En Belgique, comme au Rwanda,  on fourbit les armes idéologiques propagées par les mots et des lois  contre les décrétés accusés « négationnistes ».  Au nom du mot "négationnisme", de son utilisation,  et de la loi de 1995 mise au point suite à l'apparition de Faurisson qui niait l'existence des chambres à gaz,  voici ou revoici  notre « lettre ouverte aux vrais négationnistes ».

Nous rappelons qu’il ne s’agit pas de parler de la Shoah qu’ont subi les juifs mais bien de l’amalgame que certains veulent imprimer dans les esprits en Belgique et ailleurs au sujet du Rwanda,

Cela afin de cacher les vrais enjeux sur toute l'Afrique et la majorité des crimes dont ils sont complices, depuis 1990, au moins.

•  Ceux qui empêchent les autres de pleurer leurs morts. 

• Ceux qui nient la mort des autres en ne parlant que de la leur ou de celles de leur clan, 
  
  
• Ceux qui empêchent les autres d’en parler en les effrayant, en effrayant les chercheurs, diseurs devérités. 
  
  
• Ceux qui sans vergogne nient, étouffent la parole et les deuils, le chagrin de ceux qui savent. 
  
  
• Ceux qui les relayent et empêchent, interdisent, nient leur existence ou la salissent. 
  
  
• Ceux qui veulent répandre à tous cris le mensonge dans les nouvelles générations ignorantes par le biais de l’enseignement et de l’éducation permanente,  de la culture et de la politique et ce avec les deniers publics, les nôtres. 
  
  
• Ceux qui traînent les autres devant des tribunaux qu’ils n’ont nullement mérités. 
  
  
• Ceux qui soutiennent le bien fondé d’une justice inique et improvisée,  transformant les lieux publics en tribunaux expéditifs. 
  
  
• Ceux qui corrompent, qui payent de faux témoins, qui avilissent l’intégrité et toute parole humaine, toute conscience restante. 
  
  
• Ceux, de nos élus, de nos élites, universitaires ou pas, qui osent les soutenir et se présentent souriant(e)s, faussement innocent(e)s sur des écrans et à la tête de parterres de conférences. 
  
  
• Abuseurs(se)s patentés, indignes d’éducation populaire ou pas. 
  
  
• Ceux qui cherchent à travestir l’histoire. 
  
  
  
• Ceux qui utilisent la victimisation au bénéfice matériel de leur propre descendance ou communauté, afin peut-être, de rendre plus exceptionnelle leur histoire. 
  
  
• Ceux qui par tous les biais s’ingénient à empêcher la libre expression,  quand il s’agit de celle des autres,  détournant notamment les canaux médiatiques à leur avantage ;  cela, au nom, à présent, d’une prétendue « résilience » personnelle, clanique ou communautaire revendiquée.
  
  
• Ils ne sont pas conscients, sans doute…. qu'à long terme, ils auront tort.... 
• A ceux-là, négationnistes de la vérité, nous disons : Nous soutenons ceux qui en ont besoin et qui veulent qu’on sache ce qui s’est passé et ce qui se passe.
