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
Sunday, August 21, 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]

[In Chapter 6 of his latest book—and our latest translation project—“Carnages: Les guerres secrètes des grandes puissances en Afrique” or, as we would call it, “Carnage: The Secret Wars of the Great Powers in Africa,” Pierre Péan, one of France’s preeminent investigative journalists and a born Africa-hand, states that North Africa (the Maghreb) and the Middle East have, since the 1950s, been Israel’s “deep security zone.”
* This is the sort of incontrovertible geopolitical detail (even [or especially] the most fervent military Zionist or IDF apologist would accept this as obvious), that makes Péan’s work so richly informative, while allowing him to avoid involvement in popular ‘conspiracy theories’, the best and most consistent of which always seem to be rendered scientifically and politically moot by the myriad holes in logic and the leaps of rhetorical (bad) faith that are needed to tie them together. In this interview, which he granted CM/P on 5 July 2011, at the Publicis Drugstore café on the Champs Élysées at Étoile, Péan discusses in some detail his methodology and those spectacular forces that strive to present such a deformed picture of History as might occult, in the minds of the great general audience, the true level of moral misery and wasted human energy to which they have been descended. And though the idea is never bludgeoned into his reader’s mind or sky-rocketed across the vista of his work, the presence of It may seem like mere coincidence that the 2011 Arab Spring developed into a full-bloodied military campaign to destroy those regimes in North Africa and the Middle East that have been the staunchest and most out-spoken supporters of the Palestinians’ right to national sovereignty (e.g., Sudan, Libya, Syria, Iran and Iraq); and that this all went down as the world prepared for the September UN vote on a Resolution recommending statehood for Palestine: but when viewed through the lens of Péan’s posited detail that the region is Israel’s “deep security zone,” and the desperate need of the Hebrew State and its Western allies for total domination of that vast repository of strategic natural resources (and, for Israel, the most important seems to be water) that these regions represent, one can more clearly see through racist notions that these conflicts stem from ‘Arab immaturity’ or ‘Tribalism’ or ‘ethnic primitivism’, and that all this ‘anti-Democracy’ has supposedly caused such violent reactions among certain African and Middle Eastern governments that they actually set about “murdering their own people” (and to such an extend that it became necessary for NATO, through the good offices of the UN, to exercise its R2P [Right to Protect] and, in so doing, to, itself, take the lives of thousands of these very same peoples with the West’s, by now routine, gangster subversion with close air support).
From what before had seemed like the sort of murderous irrationality with which it is impossible to negotiate, Péan reveals a sort of historical logic, a Reason that is solidly grounded and detailed with facts, that verifies the cynical degradation into which the world is being led by those whose avowed purpose is, at whatever the cost, to preserve, protect and defend the toxic existence of Advanced Waste Capital. What was once thought to be progress in the development of Human Imagination, Pierre Péan shows us is now only the purposeless descent into the airless world of torment and death. And one can only pity these fateful monsters, who, like so many Americans and Europeans, would sit by and with their silence endorse this malignant indecency.
At CM/P, we believe the work of Pierre Péan might be a remedy, however small and ineffectual, for this moribund condition. But until his work is widely available in English, this hope can only be false hope.—mc
* “From its inception,
*****
CirqueMinime/Paris: When you speak of ‘Secret Wars’, as in the subtitle of your new book, ‘Carnage: the Secret Wars of the Great Powers in
Pierre Péan: First off, it is not presented to the public as a ‘War.’ So, they never talk about these actions in that way.
When Reagan decided to blow Ghaddafi away, he justified his actions—as was later done with
But a cop never goes to war. A cop punishes violators of the local civil or criminal codes. He hands out tickets and fines. But he doesn’t wage war.
In the newspapers, they talked about certain plans that the Big Powers had, but they didn’t talk about ‘War.’ That’s really all I mean here.
But it’s obvious that in 50 or 100 years, it will be shown that, for Libya or for Congo, the exact plans found in the White House files will be all about—and the same is true with France—how the things that were planned all amounted to one thing: War—though it may take another 40 or 50 years for that precise word to be used.
So, in the case of these ‘Secret Wars’: they are always decided by the Great Powers; the word ‘War’ is never pronounced; and they are often small.
CM/P: I know you are familiar with the term ‘October Surprise’.
PP: Yes. I know it very well. . . . I wrote about the ‘October Surprise.’
CM/P: As far as you know, what is the nature of this stratagem, and who were the originators of the term?
PP: I knew very well, at the time . . . If I can’t think of it right now it’s just a lapse in memory. . . . I wrote about that phenomenon . . . even included it in a book of mine . . . it’s an attempt to use hostages to affect domestic politics in
CM/P: William Safire, a NYTs columnist and Nixon speechwriter, attributed the term to—though like so many other phenomena, it may have a distinct French origin, as well—Safire credited it to CIA Chief and Reagan campaign manager, William Casey. The first time Casey, who started out as a financial lawyer, used it was in regard to the 1968 Humphrey/Nixon presidential race. He was then a young campaign adviser to Richard Nixon. He managed to get word to Le Duc Tho, the representative of the North Vietnamese/NLF in the Paris Peace Talks, that if they would hold off on signing any deal offered them by the Johnson administration until after the elections, a future President Nixon would give them a much better terms, conditions and compensation than the Democratic Party candidate, Hubert Horatio Humphrey.
PP: Yes, yes. There was the exact same situation in

CM/P: Right. In fact, Casey[2] did that same thing with the Iranians when he was Reagan’s campaign manager in the 1980 elections against the incumbent Jimmy Carter. And that’s why I was asking myself what you meant when you referred to the war the Iranians waged against
PP: No, that’s just a facile linguistic shortcut, that use of ‘Secret War’. Coming up with a word where, before, there was none. But it’s true . . . when I wrote the book that addresses this issue most pointedly,
CM/P: In Chapter 6 of ‘Carnage’, you talk about this region, North Africa and the Middle East, as being a ‘deep security zone’ for the nation of
PP: Now you’re getting into an essential theme. Today, there is almost an ‘omerta’ on the subject of
So, why don’t we do that? Because in France there is such a big problem—I think it’s less so in the US—but in France there is such a great fear of being labeled an ‘Anti-Semite’—the term is a veritable ‘Weapon of Mass Destruction’—that most people just won’t talk about anything that is closely—or remotely—related to Israel.
And for me, it is something so difficult—I talk of
CM/P: The ‘logic of the situations’ that you just talked about—it’s impossible to get to that logic without discussing
PP: And I always try in my writing not to make judgments, and try to make my descriptions as ‘matter-of-fact’ as I can, so as not to find myself under attack from that terrible weapon, the charge of ‘Anti-Semitism.’
CM/P: But, as you said, this charge is truly a WMD (a ‘Weapon of Mass Deception’, as I like to call it). Yet all terrorist attacks—even those that took place before the disappearance of the Soviet Union—were blamed on little groups or on little countries—
PP: —But one never talks about ‘State Terrorism’.
CM/P: No. Absolutely not. But why are groups like Hamas, Hezbollah and the PFLP-GC [Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command]—groups that were formed in reaction to the Israeli occupation of certain countries, like Syria and Lebanon—why are these Resistance groups usually blamed? —In the
PP: Yes, yes, of course. Against . . .—
CM/P: —The Black Panther Party was infiltrated. The Nation of Islam. And SDS and the PLP.[4] The infiltrators moved into the leadership of these targeted organizations. And the organizations began to propose and carry out actions that more and more doomed them to self-destruction. . . . Now, with the Palestinians, many were dissatisfied with the leadership, and there was a growing movement—and this was not something that happened overnight, but it was over a long period—a movement against Yasser Arafat. These groups that were formed were always expressly against the
PP: Yes. And, objectively, the most important thing for them is to be against the PLO. And, so, they then find themselves, objectively, working as allies of
CM/P: Yes. I lost communications with several friends when I said that the 2006 Hamas election victory over Fatah in The Occupied Territories would prove to be more of an advantage for
PP: Often. . . . That’s what’s happened in the past.
CM/P: Yes, but when someone like the PFLP takes credit for carrying out a terrorist attack against . . . say, OPEC, or some target far from Israel’s vital domestic or military interests, I have to wonder if, maybe, this terrorism isn’t being directed by, say—well, ok, maybe it’s not the US or Israel managing this terrorism, outright!—but maybe it’s some kind of Third Force that lives—that depends for its very existence on the perpetuation of these wars, this destruction and waste. Because, if these wars weren’t taking place, certain rich people today would become very, very poor.
PP: It’s true that in my investigations—though I have not gotten to that point—it’s true that we have to ask certain questions. I’ve tried to reestablish the chronologies, reintroduce all that, but you have to have more sources, more information, to do the sort of intensive analysis that would lead to an understanding of these kinds of movements, this kind of overriding subject matter, because this is very, very sensitive stuff. I am not far from the analysis you described, but I have a certain number of questions, and, basically, what I’m trying to do is to take some very small steps. But I have neither the means nor the intellectual capacity to really get off into things like this.
And I am especially—and sometimes excessively—distrustful of ‘conspiracy theories’. You have to be careful with them. They can often throw you. They are very seductive, intellectually. And sometimes, when I read things, I find that often there are links—connections that are quite true, but, then, there connections that are often false. . . . Often.
So, I always distrust them. And with my limited means, I try to set small tasks for myself. And though sometimes I exceed my goals—if my goals and my achievements are small, then I never get it too wrong. It is always a small failure.
CM/P: Well, to you, your achievements may seem small, but to me they are huge.
PP: No, but if I set grand tasks for myself, and I get them just a little wrong: Then that’s a Grand Error!
CM/P: What really astonishes me, in this whole history, are the parallels between the
The bombing of the US Marine barracks, on 23 October
PP: But what seems hardest for people to understand—and what I talk about in
And the little guy is at a disadvantage on two levels: First, he doesn’t have the means to fight against the big guy. Then, there are words, expressions, that put him at a further disadvantage: If the little guy reacts to an aggression, it’s always called ‘terrorism’; but the big guy never commits ‘terrorism.’ And to be called ‘a terrorist’ invalidates any cause: The word, itself—the title, itself—invalidates.
CM/P: Yes, ‘terrorism’ is certainly seen as the weapon-of-last-resort for the politically and militarily powerless. But often these terrorist acts don’t really seem to serve any of the interests of the little people who supposedly perpetrated them.
Do you reject the idea—often associated with the term ‘conspiracy theory’—of ‘false flag terrorism’? Terrorist acts that are carried out to look like—the blame for which—
PP: You mean the manipulation of the facts of a terrorist act to make it appear to be the work of someone other than the actual perpetrators? Yes. That exists.
CM/P: Yeah. Absolutely.
PP: But, when something like that happens, it is done by the greatest professionals, and with such professionalism that it is very complicated—very difficult to demonstrate who is really responsible—because, in the West, we believe that Truth only exists if it can be PROVED—but it is not because we have no PROOF of them that things don’t exist.
CM/P: Right. As Donald Rumsfeld famously said: ‘Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence’—or something like that.
But, for instance: The attack on
So,
And—before that: you know John Stockwell, the apostate CIA agent?
PP: Sure. John Stockwell. I read his book on
CM/P: Right. And Stockwell talks about how the
Because with Terrorist acts: it’s always very important to ‘claim’ them for your side, for your group or nation. To say, “See? See what we can do? That was us!”
But these people, the ‘Real Terrorists’ always seem to remain in the shadows. Usually, two or three little nerdy groups weight-in with similarly vague claims of authorship; but they are seldom the perpetrators that would serve the Great Powers’ narrative.
Take September 11th: No one has stepped up to own that mega-masterpiece of Terrorism. The Americans want to believe it was engineered by their favorite Terrorist-and-chief, the now-late Osama bin Laden, but he never actually—or clearly or directly—claimed responsibility for 911!
PP: I’m always afraid of making generalizations. I’m careful not to let them lead me on—because I have this tendency—and generalizations are always very enticing. In a certain way, they satisfy your mind’s curiosity.
Let me go back to another attack that was never claimed and that I did some work on: the bombing of the UTA DC10[10]. And I’ll respond to something you said earlier.
François Mitterand[11] asked me to come see him to talk about this attack. He listened to me—and he was in no way antithetical to anything I said—but he just listened to me, that’s all. In the end, he said to me that he’d always been astonished by the fact that, for this attack, they had never found a motive. No motive at all.
And to get back to September 11th: I have always been very suspicious of conspiracy theories, and I have never worked on this question. I tend, in very complicated cases like this one, to trust only myself. And since I have not worked on it—on September 11th—I just don’t want to go there; I don’t talk about it. I think I understand that it is all very unclear—but that’s it.
I don’t want anyone to hang a ‘conspirationniste’ jacket on me!
CM/P: When you were speaking of the ‘Secret War’ between
PP: Yes, there were arms exchanged—but I have to refresh my memory on the details of this old story. In reality, I conducted an investigation, but then I closed it out. I’ve always wanted to have a connection, to have a thread—not a huge one, but a thread, nonetheless—that runs through all my writing. The primary engagement for
So to try and compensate for US control over oil—to create a French oil company and then find a source of oil that was outside the American supply system—when Iraq nationalized its oil reserves[12]—and France did not oppose this nationalization—it broke the old pact with the Western powers—particularly, with the US and UK, with Exxon and BP. In breaking this pact at this time,
And the first break with this Gaullist policy came when, in 1990,
In other words, what I’m trying to show here—without doing too much reflecting on it—is that once we’ve put all our questions into a geopolitical and historical context, a general understanding of things does not require any particular knowledge. You can pretty much guess what is really happening at any given moment by looking at this historical context.
Today it’s a little more complicated, maybe, because
And what also interests me is to see—a little bit more each day in Africa—just how fundamentally
CM/P: What the US and most of the countries of the West refuse to accept is that WWII was not just an ideological or territorial war between the German and Italian Fascists and the rest of bourgeois Europe—with the Soviet Union a sort of silent partner to both sides and, in fact, as villainous as its sworn enemy, Nazi Germany. This revision stems from the
This denial of a natural reality has led to the West’s striving to be, at once, the consumer and the producer of these primary, especially energy, resources, or, at least, to dominate militarily the producing nations—or, at least, to impose itself as a broker in these energy transactions.
So, while WWII, and the so-called Cold War that issued from it, can be seen as wars for control of the natural resources of the USSR, Central and Southeast Asia, and Africa; about the time the Vietnam debacle began to wind down, around the turn of 60s-70s, war no longer was an issue of one side versus another, but more of an economic motive, in and of itself.
PP: What is today most difficult about the conflicts of the last 15 or 20 years is that these are wars that are complicated, difficult to explain. They are complicated because there are multiple actors and multiple motives. WWII is simple. Oh, you can get into it—but, essentially, it was Hitler against the rest of the world. It was a war of fronts. No great problems in explaining it.
Today, describing events in
And that’s not all. There are also, in a parallel fashion—or an independent fashion—there are large companies that are simply working to increase their profits. So those powerful agents who work with the Africans can also aid the little players. These games become terribly complicated. And today we live in an age where communication is extremely important in all these conflicts over power, in these wars, in all of that. But to communicate about these wars is ultra-complicated. So complicated that it is very easy to manipulate the information the public receives.
One of the things that has fascinated me from the very beginning of my work on Africa—I started with Rwanda—and ‘Carnage’ is just an extension of that work to gain a better understanding of the subject—what fascinated me about Rwanda was that the people of the RPF[14]—should I say the people of the RPF? Or should I say the Ugandans of the RPF? Or the Secret Services, of this country or that, behind the RPF?—at any rate, what is certain is that, even before they started the war—that is, even before the RPF came across the border from Uganda into Rwanda on 1 October 1990—even before that, the war of communications had begun. And it was so well launched that it wound up creating the entire vision of what was happening there.
I mean, that’s really fascinating. Because, through the skillful manipulation of information, the aggressors were able to cast themselves in the role of the victims. That shows real power. Really, that’s very powerful.
And this was done with a deep understanding of the evolution of our social and political culture, where the state has become less and less important in relation to our civil society. And civil society is susceptible to being radically manipulated. This is done through the use of surveys and polls and the shaping of public opinion.
So to get back to the war in
There was something else missing: These movements—especially in African countries—there are movements that are very complicated and hard to analyze. And there is always the problem of the West’s Guilty Conscience. So it was enough to play on that guilt—even with most of the people of good faith who saw the past in Africa and did not want to end up, once again, on the side of the villains—enough to get the public to stand with the Victims as a way to try and make up for the past.
It’s enough just to play on this one central motivation to completely deform a very complicated Reality—actually, very complicated Realities, because Reality is, by definition, multifarious—and to leave the choices—these choices that make situations understandable—very often, to leave these choices to the manipulators. So, during this period of African wars, a piece of History that has become more and more transparent, the manipulation of information became easier and easier—especially with all the advances in technology that have taken place over the last 25 years.
CM/P: But who benefits from this ‘Complicated Reality’? Because, when you spoke of ‘the State versus Civil Society’, . . .—For example, my ex-wife is a ‘Social Worker’. She takes care of the Poor, the Homeless, like that. But she works for a ‘Private Company’! In the past, her work was a function of the State. And I gave English courses to a private firm called S-----o. The employees of this firm go all over the world and develop projects—like a Social Security System for China, or Water System for Niger or a Sanitation System for Leningrad (now, again, St. Petersburg)—so, are we really looking at ‘The State v Civil Society’? Or is it ‘The State v Private Enterprise’?
PP: Yeah. . . . I think it’s both. And the State has not ceased its abandonment, especially under the influence of Ultra-Liberalism, of a number of its traditional domains. This is a tendency that began long ago, but there has recently been an acceleration in the take-over of State functions: whether they be Health Care or Security or whatever, they are Privatized, and that is a distinct characteristic of contemporary Society.
But the heavy tendency toward the ‘Privatization of all the former functions of the Crown’ is an important element today. On the other hand, Civil Society—or the Associative World (of NGOs), which is more and more important in the shaping of Public Opinion—these ‘Civil Organizations’ can work at times with the world of Private Enterprise. But ours is a world that is much more complicated and hard to explain, and which demands we get much more involved.
CM/P: Well, speaking of ‘Victims’: I’m sure you’re up on what is happening in
PP: Hold on. Because I say something is just so does not mean that something else next to it is not so. Now, to go back to something I said. . . . I’m a bit older than you, right? . . .
CM/P: A little bit, yeah.
PP: I came up in a bi-polar world. A fundamentally simpler world. You were either in one camp or the other. When I was initiated into French Politics—when I was a student, there were only two possibilities: you were either for or against a French Algeria. As simple as that.
But today, it’s more and more complicated. So, at the heart of what I know—and as I said before: there is a growing complexity about things, a gradual diminution of the State as a major player, and, as applies to the war in Africa, the complexity of things makes History hard to decipher and poses the possibility that all this information will be manipulated to some foul end. I can’t go much further than that—but this, in no way, excludes other things from being true.
CM/P: But how, exactly, does money—you know, the profit motive—enter into these situations? For example: an organization like SOS-Racism—an organization, which you founded—
PP: —Of which I was ONE of several 'godparents'.
CM/P: —Right. But an organization which then turned against you, charging you with inciting racial hatred, on the basis of four pages from your extraordinary, massive work on Rwanda, Noires fureurs, blancs menteurs (Sad to say, I can only cite the title in French because this essential work has not as yet been translated.). Now, what was the motive for this arch betrayal?
I’ve had my own experience with an SOS organization. My landlord pretends to be the head of SOS-Papa, an NGO that specializes in mediating problems with bi-national couples and ‘rescuing’ the children involved. When I was having my own such bi-national family problems, this clown offered his mediation services and claimed a 90% success or satisfaction rate. At our second meeting, he said he would have to charge me 450 euros, and ‘suggested’ I pay him in ‘Black’ money, to cover the secret, paramilitary expenses incurred in these ‘rescues’—think of the Arc de Zoé.
What’s up with these SOS organizations?—like SOS Attentat, from your book on the bombing of UTA flight 772, which defends so-called ‘Victims Rights’ and pursues reparations for all victims of terrorist attacks—‘reparations’ here meaning money. So, what role does money play in these ‘Humanitarian’ actions?
PP: These are very good examples of the manipulation of Civil Society. SOS-Racism is a group that represents itself as having the last word on a number of subjects. In ‘Carnage’, I tried to show a little bit of what motivated it to bring these charges against me—something I found absolutely nightmarish. But my principal accusers, who were being protected by SOS-Racism, were the French National Union of Jewish Students.
What had I done (in Noires fureurs, etc.)—by talking about the power of the Tutsis in Rwandan history—what had I done against
CM/P: Well, yeah, that’s my question, too.
PP: But my book was considered like Mein Kampf. . . . This was extraordinary. Oh, now, I can talk calmly about it. But, at the time, it was something very violent.
CM/P: Yes, yes, absolutely, I remember.
PP: And I had only laid out some hypotheses in my book. What were some of these hypotheses? I was not speaking of the Tutsi movement in any fundamental sense. But what I said was that there were some people within the movement who functioned with other than honorable motives. In any case, what I was trying to say was that some of the things that had happened in this part of the world, over the past several years, had some relationship with the security of
CM/P: There were those who even called the Tutsis the “Jews of Africa.”
PP: I didn’t go that far, but I had to lay out certain hypotheses. However, in my book (Noires fureurs,) I did not say one word against the Jews. But I did try to show that in order to understand what was going on in East Africa and in the African Great Lakes, you had to reintroduce Israel as one of the main players in these regions—the regions that Israel considered very important to its security.
CM/P: The words in your first book—the words being contested—were not your words at all. They were the words of Prince Nyere, the Tutsi Prince, who spoke of his own ‘Tutsi Culture of Lies’.
But, you know, what strikes me as a little sad is—because I get a great sense of security from reading your works, a strong sense of having built up my knowledge of a certain subject on clear and cogent details.
PP: Oh, yes, of course. There always has been—and still is—a good deal of Tin-Tin[15] in me.

Armée française : des paroles aux actes
« Honneur et Patrie »
Il y avait bien longtemps que nous n'avions pas entendu cette devise de la bouche d'un homme politique.
Qu'elle ait été prononcée à l'issue de l'éloge funèbre le 19 juillet par le Président de la République , chef des armées, est un signe auquel les soldats et plus généralement les innombrables Français qui aiment leur pays ont été sensibles.
Des paroles pour les soldats...

Ils auront apprécié ces propos directs et tellement vrais de Mgr Luc Ravel, évêque aux armées, sur le soldat :
« ... Notre admiration pour leur courage se transforme en fierté d'appartenir à ce peuple, à ce grand corps aux mille visages dont les membres sont capables de donner leur vie pour ceux qu'ils aiment...Cette noblesse du soldat nous invite à redire ce que signifie être militaire: être militaire, ce n'est pas d'abord être disponible ou même porter les armes.

Etre militaire, c'est avant tout ne plus s'appartenir, ni même appartenir à sa propre famille : j'ai conscience de la dureté de ces propos tenus en présence de nos familles éprouvées par le deuil.
Etre militaire, c'est appartenir àla Nation. Exister et agir pour elle. Vivre et mourir pour elle... »

Ils auront apprécié ces paroles fortes du chef de l'Etat sur le rôle pérenne de l'armée française:
« ... L'armée française, c'est l'affirmation par le peuple français de sa volonté de demeurer libre et de ne jamais devenir l'esclave de quiconque. L'armée française, ce n'est pas seulement un instrument parmi d'autres d'une politique. L'armée française, c'est l'expression la plus achevée de la continuité de
L'armée française, c'est l'expression de la détermination constamment renouvelée de la France à défendre l'idée qu'elle se fait d'elle-même, de sa vocation dans le monde et d'une certaine idée de l'Homme profondément ancrée en elle.
Sila France a passé avec la liberté du monde « un pacte multiséculaire » elle le doit d'abord à son armée.
Si
L'armée française n'est pas séparée du reste de la Nation française car l'armée française fait corps avec la Nation française... »
...Et des actes pour les armées
Mais ces paroles prononcées un jour de deuil se traduiront-elles par des actes ?

| Deuil de soldats tués pour ' pour l'Honneur de la France et des Français |
Cela concerne d'abord le budget de la défense.
Il est aujourd'hui historiquement bas puisqu'il atteint seulement 1,6% du PIB. Il était le double en 1989 et s'élevait à 4% en 1975 alors que le budget de l'Etat était en équilibre et la dette inexistante. Commentla France peut-elle garantir effectivement son indépendance et sa sécurité en réduisant à ce point ses capacités militaires, sachant que les effets catastrophiques inévitables ne se feront sentir que dans 10 ans ?
Les coupes budgétaires des décennies précédentes se traduisent aujourd'hui par l'absence de drones stratégiques, le nombre limité de nos avions de transport et de nos hélicoptères dans les engagements que nous conduisons.
Cela concerne également la politique étrangère.
Il semble quela France envisage d'inviter officiellement à Paris en septembre Paul Kagame, président du Rwanda et accusateur de l'armée française !
Les conseillers de l'Elysée et du quai d'Orsay mesurent-ils l'effet dévastateur d'une telle démarche, sans geste préalable fort vis-à-vis de nos armées ?
Cette invitation signifierait quela France reconnaît et accepte les accusations de génocide portées contre ses soldats par un dictateur lui-même impliqué dans la mort de plusieurs millions de Congolais depuis 1996.

"Today, justice and dignity are among the requirements of all human beings", Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Joy Online (Ghana)
August 15, 2011
“This is pure criminality and must be confronted and defeated”. Just in case you were wondering where I was going with this statement, these are the words of Prime Minister David Cameron, which also represents the official position of No.10 Downing Street on the current unrest in what we use to know as the Great Britain. You know what; I will come back to that.
Comrades, I thought since it was our collective responsibility not to maintain silence on what is happening in the north of our continent I hold this discussion with you. Indeed, the silence from the leadership of our continent on the on-going uprisings in the north of Africa, most particularly the rebellion in Libya, suggests there are no more nations in the African Union.
Today, the neo-colonialism Osagyefo mentioned takes on much more meaning to me.
As we are all witnessing the most aggressive form of neo-colonialism in the north of our continent? Overnight, the Brits and the French have become so concerned about Africa as to have to appointed themselves as the overseers of the mixed reactions in the north of our continent.
I call it mixed because the external beneficiaries of these uprisings would want us to believe that these uprisings were conducted in the same manner and that there were no dynamics in the uprisings from one country to the other. I don’t remember it that way; what I remember is that in Tunisia and Egypt there were unarmed civilians on the streets that shouted their voices so loud as to be heard.
This, in my opinion, is a great departure from what we see in Libya today. You already know my position on brother Gaddafi - too much long service does not help. However, it is for the Libyan people to decide that and not the Brits or the French.
Only last month, two dramatic but revealing events took place. The first was a large-scale demonstration across Great Britain by unionists demanding a stop to some proposed changes in the pension scheme by the coalition government of the Conservatives and the Lib-Dems. The crowd I saw on the streets of Great Britain didn’t look any different from the one I saw in Tunisia in the wake of the Tunisian uprising. In fact, I could have confused the two for each other. Now for a moment let us move the location of Great Britain to anywhere in Africa: you know the obvious that would have happened more than I do.
The second and most dramatic event was the grappling of President Nicholas Sarkozy by a man from the crowed while he seems to be on a familiarisation tour, which I believe will count towards his re-election campaign. But for the immediate and swift intervention of his security he would have been brutally manhandled. It was not mentioned why the man in the crowed did what he had to do. However, my guess is on three premises.
1. The first might be an expression of dislike for his style of leadership.
2. The second, could be due to his involvement in the north of our continent and
3. Third, probably, his perceived involvement with the Strauss Kahn issue.
Either way there is a suggestion that some of the citizenry have rejected him just as it is in the case of Egypt, Libya and Tunisia. Interestingly, Sarkozy is still a hero in the European Union, going about resolving the financial crisis in Europe as we speak. Again, if Sarkozy was an African president you know the obvious that would have happened to him more than I do.
Comrades, I promised to come back to the opening quote that preceded our entire conversation. I therefore wish to do that now. Very recently, by dinner time, 563 people had been arrested in the unrest that was triggered by the gruesome murder of Mr. Mark Duggan (RIP) by the London Metropolitan Police. Just like the self-immolation of Mr. Mohamed Bouazizi that sparked the unrest in Tunisia, the murder of Mark Duggan cannot be treated as the remote reason for the uprising in Leeds, Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Nottingham and, most particularly, on the streets of Peckham, Hackney, Croydon and Tothingham. However, his death should be remembered as the explosion point for ordinary people that could no longer identify their role in the future of their own communities and nation because it has been taken away from them.
Comrades, I do not wish that we think of the consequences if this was an African country. What I would rather we do is to think of the advice Brother Gaddafi would have had for Prime Minister David Cameron if they were seated shoulder to shoulder. He would have probably whispered into his ears brotherly advice from Ambassador Karbral- “If they come for your brother in the morning they will come for you in the evening”. In fact, such advice would have certainly left us with a difficult question.
Admittedly, NATO came for one brother in the morning but who will come for the other brother in the evening? My guess is the American Army. I almost forgot, the American Army is probably tired from the invasion in Iraq. This is evident in the American privatisation of the war by employing the service of private American security companies to participate in the invasion because their hands were full. Maybe the French or even the Germans could be an option. Hmm, again, forgive my forgetfulness; they are equally tired from the Iraq invasion. Of course, the only option left now is NATO but their hands are equally full, simply because their over-“generosity” to the Libyan people has made them overstep the UN mandate on Libya.
I just thought of it, what about the human rights abuses that arise out of this “pure criminality that must be confronted and defeated”. At least, one thing comes to mind, the International Criminal Court of Justice (ICC) is watching, and Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the sword-bearer of the ICC must be encouraged to act with keen interest and with supersonic speed. However, as to whether he will not mince his words is something we can only hope for.
In conclusion, I have a proposal to make that is outside our earlier discussion. I have for a while now observed that our continent is gradually tilting away from the west. My proposition is that we move forward in search for a permanent interest rather than a permanent relationship because our newly found friends in the east might not be any different. Let Africa unite lest we perish in a world of cheats.

POLITICAL PRISONER INGABIRE DEMANDS PRESIDENT KAGAME TO ALLOW VISIT.
 |
| Ms Ingabire Victoire, the would be president of Rwanda now in prison Freedom and Democracy, a nightmare for the strong man of Rwanda, Gen. Kagame in prison of Rwanda |
Since April 2011, Political prisoner Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, chair of FDU-Inkingi, is not allowed to receive visitors. The government has been changing rules until nobody is seeing her any more. Today as she was completing 302 days in maximum security, 11 opposition members went to “Kigali 1930 Prison” but were denied free passage. Later on, to a colleague bringing food daily package, the opposition leader asked to demand President Paul Kagame to allow prison visit to his political opponents. Victoire Ingabire expressed her gratitude to all opposition members and Rwandans for their support and dedication. “This isolation will not deter my determination. Patience and Perseverance have a direct impact on the change we are longing for”, she told the Interim Secretary General of the party.
In Rwanda, innocent people are still kept in prisons for months or years for their opinions or political affiliations . For example, Professor Runyinya Barabwiriza was taken to court after 16 years in prison over genocide charges. Everybody knew he was not in Rwanda during the genocide, but no voice was strong enough to get him free. This week after 17 years he was acquitted by a local court but ordered to remain in jail.

[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]
Urwibutso rwa jenoside rwa Gisozi. Iyo uteranyije imibare yanditse ku nzibutso zose ziri mu Rwanda, usanga abazize jenoside yakorewe Abatutsi barenze miliyoni enye(4 000 000) !! Ibuka na FPR se bazabe batazi kubara ? Kimwe mu bintu byigisha ni ibitabo bibara inkuru (roman) n’indirimbo z’abahanzi. Igitangaje ariko, ni uko kenshi ibivugwa n’aba banyabugeni baba babyihimbiye, bagamije gutanga ubutumwa. Si ibintu rero biba byarabayeho umunsi uyu n’uyu n’ahantu runaka. Igitangaza gusa, ni uko umara kubisoma cyangwa kubitega amatwi wasohoka mu nzira ugakubitana n’ibisa na byo.
Rugabire za Joe Dassin na Masabo.
Mu ndirimbo nyinshi dukesha umuhanzi Nyangezi Masabo harimo imwe yise “Imbunda”. Asobanuramo ukuntu yarimo aratira mugenzi we imbunda yari inanditseho izina rye, uyu ngo akayimwambura, akamuzamuza amaboko akayandurukana. Uyu yayijyanye gusahura banki ayitayo. Urubanza rero rwafashe nyir’izina ryanditseho nyir’ukwiba yigaramiye. Asoza agira ati :
“Mu buroko nize gukora amanyanga yose. Nifaburikiye rugabire zireba imbere n’inyuma.
Abarinzi bambona ntibasobanukirwe aho ngana. Nabanyuzeho bagira ngo ndi kuza.
Nasize bumiwe rwose bayobewe”.Ni byiza ariko kwibutsa ko iyi ndirimbo atari umwimerere wa Masabo. Yacuranzwe bwa mbere mu gifaransa n’umucuranzi Joe Dassin. Icyo Masabo yakoze ni ukuyishyira mu kinyarwanda ari byo bita “adaptation” mu mwuga wo kuririmba. Ngiyo impamvu ituma mvuga rugabire za Joe Dassin na Masabo.
Rugabire za FPR na IBUKA ?
Muri iyi mitaga duteye umugongo ikaba isaga 16 nyuma ya jenoside yakorewe abatutsi, hari byinshi FPR na IBUKA bagiye bakora bitera kwibaza. Iyo ubizirikanye umera nka bariya barinzi ba gereza. Wibaza niba bagana iburyo cyangwa ibumoso, niba bajya imbere cyangwa basubira inyuma bikagushobera. Bisa rwose n’aho bambaye ziriya rugabire zituma umuntu atagira icyerekezo kigaragara.
Tariki 22 kamena z’uyu mwaka, mu kinyamakuru igihe.com, hasohotse inyandiko yibazaga impamvu umubare uhamye w’abahitanywe na jenoside utarashobora kumenyekana. Shaba Bill wayanditse yaragize ati: “Imiryango mpuzamahanga itandukanye harimo Umuryango w’Abibumbye, imiryango itegamiye kuri Leta ndetse n’ibitangazamakuru mpuzamahanga, iyo bagaruka ku mibare y’inzirakarengane zazize Jenoside yakorewe Abatutsi mu Rwanda muri Mata 1994, bakunda kuvuga ko ari ibihumbi 800, ndetse bamwe bakanavuga ko uwo mubare utagezeho bagira bati: "Ni hafi y’ibihumbi 800"(A peu pres 800.000).
Ibi bitandukanye cyane n’uko bigenda mu Rwanda, kuko abayobozi bo mu nzego zose, imiryango ikorera mu Rwanda ndetse n’abaturage bavuga ko umubare w’Abatutsi bazize jenoside uri hejuru ya miliyoni imwe(+ de 1.000.000)”.
Wenda icyo umuntu yakwibutsa Shaba ni uko kuvuga ngo “ni hafi y’ibihumbi 800” cyangwa ngo “ni hejuru ya miliyoni imwe” byombi bihuriye ku nenge yo gukekeranya no kugenekereza ku kibazo nyamara kimaze imyaka 16. Mu kungurana ibitekerezo, nzinduwe no gusesengurira hamwe n’abandi banyarwanda umuzi w’ikibazo Shaba yibajije: Kuki?
Igisubizo kibangutse ni uko kumenya umubare w’abahitanywe na jenoside bitari ku rutonde rw’ibyihutirwa.
Singire inkovu nkomeretsa, uyu si umwanzuro wanjye cyangwa icyifuzo, ahubwo ni ifoto y’imikorere ya FPR na IBUKA. Ndavuga FPR kuko ari yo iramutwa igihugu, nkavuga IBUKA kuko ari yo ihagarariye abacitse ku icumu. Jenoside ikirangira, kutamenya umubare w’abo yahitanye n’abayirokotse ntibyihutirwaga. Imfubyi zo gufashwa zari nyinshi, abapfakazi...utaretse n’ibindi bibazo igihugu gihura na byo mu rugamba rwo kwiyubaka. Nyamara nyuma y’imyaka 16, ndabona ko uwo byatera inkeke ataba aciye igikuba. Ibiri amambu, n’abo bacitse ku icumu twari twihutiye gufasha n’ubu ntawe uzi umubare wabo nyakuri. Niba se tutazi abazima, twamenya dute abatabarutse? Impamvu ni uko ibi bibazo byombi ari nk’ibipande by’urupapuro rumwe. Uwakemura kimwe n’ikindi yaba akirya isataburenge.
Icyagaragaye na none muri iyi myaka, ni uko hari ibindi bishyirwamo ingufu iyo bishyizwe ku murongo w’ibyihutirwa kandi koko bikagerwaho. Ni muri urwo rwego ku wa gatatu tariki ya 26 Mutarama 2011, muri Hotel Laico, umuryango uharanira inyungu z’abacitse ku icumu (Ibuka), watangaje ibikubiye mu bushakashatsi wakoze bugaragaza urutonde rw’Abahutu bagize ubutwari bagahisha Abatutsi muri Jenocide yo mu mwaka wa 1994. Ubwo bushakashatsi bwakorewe mu turere 30 tw’u Rwanda. N’ubwo ibibazo bidahuje uburemere, ariko mbona uwahera aha n’ikibazo cy’abahitanywe na jenoside akagishyira mu byihutirwa kandi akabinyuza mu nzira nk’iriya kitarenza umwaka. Ikibazo ni ukumenya ingingo shingiro zayobora muri iki gikorwa.
Kutagira ingingo shingiro (manque de critères).
Hari uwakwibwira ko kuba umuntu yarahitanywe na jenoside cyangwa yarayirokotse ari ngingo yumvikana kandi isobanutse. Mu bikorwa si ko biri. Dore uko imyaka yagiye ihita, ibipimo byagiye bihinduka ndetse n’indorerwamo zihindura amabara. Uhereye no ku mazina yagiye ahabwa ariya mahano, wakumva ko harimo intirimwa. Reka tuyibukiranye uko yakurikiranye:
- Jenoside y’abanyarwanda (génocide rwandais): ni ryo zina ryatanzwe na Loni.
- Itsembabwoko n’itsembatsemba.
- Itsembabwoko.
- Jenoside.
- Jenoside y’abatutsi (iri ryavuyeho kuko ngo ryashoboraga guteza urujijo hakaba n’uwakwibeshya ko ari abatutsi bayikoze).
- Jenoside yakorewe abatutsi.
Uwakwibeshya yagira ati ubwo noneho tugeze ku nyito ihamye ya “jenoside yakorewe abatutsi” tubonye umusingi twatangiriraho mu kumenya abo yahitanye n’abayirokotse. Kubitekereza gutya kwaba kwihuta. Nta gihamya y’uko ejo n’ejobundi bitazahinduka. Si kera ni muri mutarama y’uyu mwaka aho IBUKA yagombye kunyuza umweyo mu bitwa abayo, kuko ngo yasanze hari abugamye mu mutaka wayo nyamara batabuze intaho. Abahigitswe si bake kuko bageraga kuri 30%. N’ubwo Balikana Eugène yemezaga ko noneho ibintu bigiye mu buryo, ubanza urwishe ya nka rukiyirimo, nk’uko twabisomye mu nkuru ya Kayonga J. yasohotse mu kinyamakuru igihe.com tariki 11 mutarama 2011. Yaragize ati: “Balikana yavuze ko kuri ubu hari urutonde bizera ko ari urw’abakwiye gufashwa koko, ngo igikurikiyeho ni uko abo byagaragaye ko babeshye ngo bafashwe bazabihanirwa n’amategeko. Mu bazahanwa ngo hakaba harimo na bamwe mu bakoreraga FARG cyangwa bahoze mu buyobozi bwayo, ngo kuko nabo babigizemo uruhare. Gusa nyuma y’aho hari abinubiye urutonde rushya bavuga ko batarugaragaraho kandi bakwiye gufashwa, Balikana yatangaje ko bazakomeza gushishoza bakareba neza niba aribyo kandi niba abari ku rutonde bose bakwiye gufashwa koko”.
Biragaragara rero ko impaka zigikomeje. Ubu kugira ngo umuntu afashwe na FARG bisaba kuba yaracitse ku icumu rya Jenoside yakorewe abatutsi mu 1994, akaba yaravutse mbere y’itariki 31 Ukuboza 1994, akaba imfubyi ku mubyeyi umwe cyangwa bombi, kandi akaba nta bushobozi bwo kwibeshaho afite. Ikitaramenyekanye ni ingingo bariya 30% birukanywe batari bujuje muri ziriya eshatu.
Ingaruka z’ingendo yo muri rugabire.
Reka ntange urugero rumwe rutari kure rugaragaza imikorere ya rugabire mu bijyanye na jenoside. Ejobundi tariki tariki ya 11 Mata 2011, Inama Nkuru y’Itangazamakuru yashyize ahagaragara urutonde rw’abanyamakuru 51 bazize jenoside yakorewe abatutsi mu mwaka w’1994 ndetse n’amazina y’ibitangazamakuru bakoreraga. Mbere yaho gato, umuryango Reporters Sans Frontières wari wasohoye urundi rutonde maze Inama Nkuru y’Itangazamakuru mu Rwanda irarwamagana ibinyujije mu ijwi ry’umunyamabanga wayo Nshingwabikorwa, Patrice Mulama. Icyo barunengaga ngo ni uko rutari rucukumbuye kandi rukavangavanga ibintu, hakaba abanyamakuru bahitanywe na jenoside rwibagirwa ngo hakaba n’abo rushyiraho kandi ahubwo bayishinjwa. Uyu muyobozi yatangaje ko bo bamaze imyaka bakora ubushakashatsi bucukumbuye kandi imyanzuro yabwo ikaba igiye gushyirwa ahagaragara.
Icyatangaje abantu, ni uko uru rutonde rwa MHC rwaje rwo ruca agahigo mu guhuzagurika. Rwagaragayeho n’abanyamakuru ruvuga ko bazize jenoside kandi nyamara bakiriho nka Mpambara Eulade. Mu kwisobanura, Patrice Mulama yasubiye inyuma yiregura ko ngo na RSF yari yaramushyize ku rutonde rw’abahitanywe na jenoside! Byanteye kwibaza ukuntu wanenga icyegeranyo cya RSF ko kivangavanze warangiza ukakifashisha mu gukora icyawe cyegeranyo wita ko gisesenguye kinacukumbuye. Nk’uko bigaragara mu nyandiko ya Faustin Nkurunziza wandikira ikinyamakuru igihe.com (13/04/2011), Mulama yahamije ko urutonde rwa MHC ahagarariye ngo ruriho n’abatagomba kurujyaho: “Patrice Mulama yatubwiye ko uru rutonde rwakozwe ari urw’agateganyo kuko bakiri mu igenzura ryarwo. Yavuze ko basanze hari n’abatagomba kurujyaho kuko batapfuye muri jenoside”. Igitangaje ni uko uku kwivuguruza kw’Inama Nkuru y’Itangazamakuru kwaje nyuma y’iminsi 2 ishyize ahagaragara icyo yitaga ubushakashatsi bucukumbuye! Byanteye kwibaza niba imitwe ya bamwe idakora nka za rugabire za Masabo. Ariko iyo bigeze ku mateka ya jenoside ho agahuru kaba gahuye n’umunyutsi.
FPR na IBUKA mu mpatanwa.
Ngo umwana apfa mu iterura. Amateka y’imyitwarire ya FPR na IBUKA mu bibazo by’abacitse ku icumu n’abo yahitanye byatangiye kera. Byagiye byiyongera kugera aho bitakigira igaruriro. Ubu rero aho bigeze, kuvunura biragoye, kujya mbere bikaba ingorabahizi.
Ikibazo cy’inzibutso.
Jenoside ikimara kuba, ikibazo cya mbere cyabaye icyo gushyingura abo yahitanye. Igishuko cyabaye gushaka gushyira inzibutso ahantu hose hatitawe ku kureba uburyo zizitabwaho n’ibindi bibazo bizavuka hanyuma.
Ikosa rya mbere ryabaye imibare yagiye ishyirwa ku nzibutso. Jenoside ubwayo ni amahano akomeye birenze kamere. Ntikeneye kuyikabiriza no kuyongerera ibidasobanutse. Iyo ufashe kiliziya ukandikaho ko yaguyemo abantu 15.000 uba urimo upfobya jenoside. Kiliziya nini zizwi mu Rwanda ni Catedrali Butare, Nyundo, Bazilika Kabgayi na Kiliziya ya Sainte famille. Muri izi zose, uwashyiramo abantu akabahagarika bamwe hejuru y’abandi kugera ku gisenge nta n’imwe yajyamo abantu ibihumbi bitanu! Ibi rero byarakozwe henshi, ntihagira uhigima ngo bititwa ko ahakanye jenoside, nyamara aho bigana ishyamba si ryeru. Iyo biza gukorwa hamwe cyangwa habiri, ntibyajyaga kuba ingorabahizi. Byakozwe henshi. Ingaruka yabyo ni uko ubu inzibutso zigomba kuzimira. Muti gute?
Kuki inzibutso zigomba kuzimira?
Nta mwaka urashira, twajyanye n’abakozi dukorana i Karongi tugiye gutembera. Nk’uko tubikora kenshi, twanyuze kuri paruwasi gatolika ihari tujya gusura urwibutso, cyane ko mu bo dukorana hari n’abanyamahanga baba bakeneye kwerekwa amateka yacu. Umupadiri twahasanze ntibuka izina yadusobanuriye amateka y’inzirakarengane zishyinguye aho, mu gosoza atubwira ko no mu mugi hashyinguye imbaga nyamwinshi yatikiriye kuri Stade Gatwaro. Twiyemeje na ho kunyurayo. Tuhageze byabaye ingorabahizi kumenya aho izo nzirakarengane zishyinguye. Twarayoboje batwereka ahantu hagana ku musozi harenzwe n’ikigunda twicuza icyo twazaniye abo bavamahanga. Byanteye kwibaza. Nyuma y’aho, nagiye nitegereza n’ahandi hanyuranye mu gihugu nsanga ahenshi ari uko. Ahatari hake inzibutso zaheze mu cyeregati nko mu Bisesero, ahandi ntizubakiye, ahandi zarenzwe n’ikigunda, aho zubakiye na ho inyandiko zarasibamye n’ibindi. Kuki?
Jenoside ebyiri (double génoside)
Nta zicibwa amahembe zibuze icyo zizira. Ni kenshi FPR na IBUKA bitotombera imiryango n’abantu bashinja guhakana jenoside no kuvuga ko habaye ebyiri. Igitangaje, ni uko batinze kubona ko na bo ubwabo imikorere yabo yunga mu rya bariya. Uwashaka kuvuga jenoside ebyiri, si ngombwa kujya gukora iperereza muri Kongo. Uwashiritse ubute agateranya imibare igiye yanditse hirya no hino ku nzibutso atungurwa no kubona ko jenoside yahitanye abantu barenga miliyoni enye ! Urwibutso rwa Gisozi rwonyine rumaze kugeramo 250.000, ni ukuvuga ¼ cya ba bandi 1.000.000. Uko wagoragoza kose ukavuga ko amabarura ya mbere ya jenoside atavugishaga ukuri ku mubare w’abatutsi bari mu Rwanda, ntiwasobanura ko uriya mubare ari uw’abatutsi gusa. Ikindi kandi, ni ngombwa kwibutsa ko hari n’abarokotse na bo tutazi umubare kugeza ubu. Iyo ibyo byose ubiteranyije, bibyara ihurizo ry’ingorabahizi. Iyo ugiye mu mpaka n’abashyigikiye ko habaye jenoside ebyiri bagutsindisha imibare yo ku nzibutso ukaruca ukarumira.
Ngiri ipfundo ryo kudashishikazwa no gutangaza imibare y’abahitanywe na jenoside. Ngiyi insiriri yo kutamenya umubare nyakuri w’abarokotse. Ngiyi imvano yo kuba inzibutso zigana mu marembera. Ngicyo icyerekezo cya FPR na Ibuka. Muri uru rugendo rugana aho tutazi, biragoye kumenya ugenda imbere hagati y’aba basangirangendo, kubera nyine cya kibazo cya rugabire. Ikigaragara, ni uko bombi biyemeje kudasobanya mu ntambwe. Ubarebera ku ruhande ntasobanukirwa aho bagana, ariko na bo basa n’abatahazi.

Tony Blair supports the Arab spring and wants to heal Africa.
Laudable aims but breathtaking hypocrisy
 |

| Tony Blair Even if you choose not to leave. We judge you by your fruits: A Bloody dictatorship in Rwanda The journey is over |
Money, of course, lay behind his appearance on the show, since he was promoting the paperback edition of his biography. Just as money lay behind his decision to take free holidays at the expense of the Egyptian people while in power, ignoring complaints from families of those being tortured in the country's notorious jails.
At least he supported his old friend Hosni Mubarak after Egyptians risked their lives by rising up to shake off the shackles of despotism. As blood began to run in the streets during the tense standoff in Tahrir Square, Blair hailed Mubarak as "immensely courageous and a force for good".
But what breathtaking hypocrisy to place himself in the vanguard of the movement for change in the region, diminishing the Arab spring to a struggle between modernisers and reactionaries and saying the Gulf states must change or lose our support. This is the man, after all, who earned a seven-figure sum advising the Kuwaiti royal family, and rakes in a fortune giving speeches in the region.
Just recall, if you can bear to, how he cosied up to the Libyan leader he now wants to see overthrown, going far beyond what was needed to bring the maverick Muammar Gaddafi in from the cold as he brokered oil deals and oversaw prisoner transfer agreements that led to the release of the Lockerbie bomber. Little wonder the dictator's son saw him as "a personal family friend".
Even worse was Blair's appeasement of the Saudi royal family in perhaps the most disgraceful episode of his time in office, when his pressure led to the halting of the landmark BAE bribery case. This was an incident that demeaned our country, usurping Britain's legal process to avoid upsetting a repressive and – to use his own words – reactionary regime.
Indeed, it is hard to think of a more reactionary regime. Saudi Arabia is the country currently stopping women from driving cars, and is supplying the troops who crushed the protests in Bahrain with such brutality. It has used oil wealth to export a particularly hardline and corrosive creed around the globe, one that rather flies in the face of our former prime minister's sanctimonious statements on faith and harmony.
The BAE move sent a signal round the world that Britain turned a blind eye to allegations of corruption, ensuring autocrats could feel safe laundering their stolen money here with the help of pin-striped pimps in our finance houses, law firms and estate agencies. Large-scale larceny by the likes of Mubarak, Gaddafi and the Assad family in Syria was one of the primary sparks for the explosion of protest – and all had substantial holdings in Britain.
Shameless corruption is one of the primary causes of poor governance across Africa. Now Blair proclaims it as part of his mission to heal the continent he once called "a scar on the conscience of the world". This does not, however, stop him advising the president of Rwanda who heads a regime accused of atrocities in its invasions of the Congo, growing despotism at home, and sending hit squads to murder exiles living in Britain. After last year's sham election, during which rivals were jailed, newspapers shut down and dissidents shot, Blair sent the president a smarmy message of congratulations hailing his "popular mandate" after Paul Kagame won 93% of the vote. Now he has the effrontery to speak about the importance of freedom of expression in north Africa.
You can almost admire the brazen way Blair ploughs on, ignoring his past and brushing aside uncomfortable facts as he seeks to play a part in shaping the future. But then you remember how he backed an ethical foreign policy before ending up an apologist for torture. And you recall how he promulgated the need for a moral dimension to statecraft before embarking on a war of doubtful legality.
Yesterday, the man whose lack of foresight played such a key role in strengthening the hand of Iran did a round of interviews demanding a clear western strategy in response to the Arab spring. As well as promoting his book, it is part of a desperate bid to promote himself as a future elected president of Europe. Someone should tell him the journey's over.

"Si le "Non" se prononçait Sans aucune preuve ni éléments concrets.
Regardez le vidéo ici en bas et plusieurs d'entre vous regretteront d'avoir fait confiance à l'AFP".
Pour Marc-François Bernier, alors que " la vérité, la rigueur et l'exactitude, l'intégrité, l'équité et l'imputabilité " constituent les " piliers normatifs du journalisme ", la " déontologie prescrit des devoirs professionnels qui font l'objet d'un consensus pour un grand nombre de situations " [2]. Selon lui, la déontologie contribue à protéger les journalistes des manœuvres de propagande, de promotion et de désinformation.
DEUX JOURNALISTES RWANDAIS PARLENT DE LA RDC... door afriqueredaction
Après plusieurs tentatives de contact avec l'AFP, tentatives qui se sont soldés par le refus cathégorique de l'Agence à nous recevoir, nous avons tenté de compléter leur formulaire. Un lien qui n'a pas marché non plus.
Message à l'AFP de l'un de nos confrères:
Ce que je dis est base sur ma propre experience et cela n'engage que moi.
J'ai honte pour l'AFP.
Madame/Monsieur,
Je ne savais pas. Sincèrement je je savais pas. Je ne savais pas qu'une organisation comme la vôtre puisse faire travailler, engager un imbécile, un vrai con,(excusez-moi des termes que j'ai utilisés, je n'arrive pas à trouver autre chose, mettez-vous à ma place et pour cela je demande sincèrement pardon) qui ignore TOUT du journalisme. A moins que moi-même j'ignore ce que c'est que le journalisme. En plus de Ca, le mensonge coule sur ses lèvres. Il affirme pour avoir travaillé pour l'AFP. C'est vrai ou c'est faux? Pour comprendre ce que je suis en train de dire, ouvrez ce lien et regardez juste écouter le dernier journaliste puisque c'est de lui dont il s'agit: http://dai.ly/aL0DaF
Il revient à vous, à moi, à nous tous d'empêcher que ce mensonge devienne crédible.
J'espère recevoir votre réaction.
Sincèrement,
Jules Lefèvre

Serious crimes hidden across Rwanda
Dear reader:
If you know anything about the individuals or organization who took part in re-making Rwanda
"The public is a weapon in the fight against crime"
“It is a crime too great to hide, but do we have the stomach to bring the killers to trial?” Emma Daly
Compare those Rwandan maps here below, maps which are producing evidence on Kagame cruelty. it is not expected to exhume bodies for the time being...AS long as Kagame and RPF still runs the country. We don't think that the best way for strategic preservation of mineral resources in DRC should be giving Kagame the Green card for mass-murdering the Rwandan and Congolese Hutu that necessarily will produce negative retro-actions.
What makes sense? An efficient preservation-based approach, with more value-judgments.
United States and other Western countries should create a strategic access to the region mineral resources without exterminating Kagame. In other words, to find out the ways of eliminating Kagame without hurting Rwandans and neighboring populations (to reset life with peaceful coexistence, without distortion and destruction). Question: Who believes in forgiving criminals?
 |
| Rwandan map with all 10 prefectures |
There is no protection of eye-witnesses. On the contrary, Eye-witnesses are forcibly brought back to Rwanda with the complicity of UNHCR.
 |
| Gikongoro prefecture erased on the Rwanda map objectif: To cover up RPF crimes in Kibeho |
 | |
| Kibeho does no longer exist, thinks Kagame the map here-above to clarify it. Still, the whole story has not yet been revealed. |
 | ||
| Kibeho mega-masscres 100,000 IDPs were in the death camp 8,000 up to 21,000 were mass-murdered By General Ibingira and Bihozagara order given by Kagame, RPF/RDF commander |
Despite the best efforts of those who would bury a crime too great to hide, the evidence of mass murder is there. It remains only to be seen whether the international community has the stomach to bring the murderers to trial.
