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
Saturday, October 1, 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]
Nowadays, there are a lot of heartless people walking around freely in the society. Among them, the still president Paul Kagame and RPF war criminals.
On April 6, 1994, at 8:25 p.m., the Falcon 50 jet of the President of the Republic of Rwanda, registration number “9XR-NN”, on its return from a summit meeting in DAR-ESSALAAM, Tanzania, as it was on approach to Kanombe International Airport in KIGALI,
Rwanda, was shot down. All on board, including President Juvenal Habyarimana , President
Cyprien Ntaryamira of Burundi, their entire entourage and flight crew died.
The death of President Juvenal Habyarimana triggered the start of genocide that targeted Tutsi and Hutu moderates, and the resumption of civil war between RPF and the Government of Rwanda. The RPF’s sad and false narrative from that time on has been that Hutu extremists within President Habyarimana’s camp shot down the plane to derail the implementation of the Arusha Peace Agreement, and to find a pretext to start the genocide in which over 800,000 Rwandans died in just 100 days. This narrative has become a predominant one in some international circles, among scholars, and in some human rights organizations.
The truth must now be told. Paul Kagame, then overall commander of the Rwandese Patriotic Army, the armed wing of the Rwandese Patriotic Front, was personally responsible for the shooting down of the plane. In July, 1994, Paul Kagame himself, with characteristic callousness and much glee, told me that he was responsible for shooting down the plane. Despite public denials, the fact of Kagame’s culpability in this crime is also a public “secret” within RPF and RDF circles. Like many others in the RPF leadership, I enthusiastically sold this deceptive story line, especially to foreigners who by and large came to believe it, even when I knew that Kagame was the culprit in this crime.
The political and social atmosphere during the period from the signing of the Arusha Accords in August 1993 was highly explosive, and the nation was on edge. By killing President Habyarimana, Paul Kagame introduced a wild card in an already fragile ceasefire and dangerous situation. This created a powerful trigger, escalating to a tipping point towards resumption of the civil war, genocide, and the region-wide destabilization that has devastated the Great Lakes region since then.
Second, Kagame, a Tutsi himself, callously gambled away the lives of innocent Tutsi and
moderate Hutu who perished in the genocide. While the killing of President Habyarimana, a
Hutu, was not a direct cause of the genocide, it provided a powerful motivation and trigger to those who organized, mobilized and executed the genocide against Tutsi and Hutu moderates.
Third, by killing President Habyarimana, Kagame permanently derailed the already fragile
Arusha peace process in a dangerous pursuit of absolute power in Rwanda. Kagame feared the letter and spirit of the Arusha Peace Agreement.
As the subsequent turn of events has now shown, Kagame does not believe in the unity of Rwandans, democracy, respect of human rights and other fundamental freedoms, the rule of law, power sharing, integrated and accountable security institutions with a national character, and resolving the problem of refugees once and for all.
This is what the Arusha Peace Agreement was all about. That is what is lacking in Rwanda
today. Last, but not least, Kagame’s and RPF’s false narrative, denials, and deceptions have led to partial justice in Rwanda and at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, thereby undermining prospects for justice for all Rwandan people, reconciliation and healing. The international community has, knowingly or unknowingly, become an accomplice in Kagame’s systematic and shameful game of deception.
I was never party to the conspiracy to commit this heinous crime. In fact, I first heard about it on BBC around 1:00 am on April 7, 1994, while I was in Kampala where I had been attending the Pan African Movement conference.
I believe the majority of members of RPF and RPA civilians and combatants, like me, were not party to this murderous conspiracy that was hatched and organized by Paul Kagame and
executed on his orders. Nevertheless, I was a Secretary General of the RPF, and a Major in the rebel army, RPA. It is in this regard, within the context of collective responsibility, and a spirit of truth-telling in search of forgiveness and healing, that I would like to say I am deeply sorry about this loss of life, and to ask for forgiveness from the families of Juvenal Habyarimana, Cyprien Ntaryamira, Deogratias Nsabimana, Elie Sagatwa, Thaddee Bagaragaza, Emmanuel Akingeneye, Bernard Ciza, Cyriaque Simbizi, Jacky Heraud, Jean-Pierre Minaberry, and Jean-Michel Perrine.
I also ask for forgiveness from all Rwandan people, in the hope that we must unanimously and categorically reject murder, treachery, lies and conspiracy as political weapons, eradicate
impunity once and for all, and work together to build a culture of truth-telling, forgiveness,
healing, and the rule of law. I ask for forgiveness from the people of Burundi and France whose leaders and citizens were killed in this crime. Above all, I ask for forgiveness from God for having lied and concealed evil for too long.
In freely telling the truth before God and the Rwandan people, I fully understand the risk I have undertaken, given Paul Kagame’s legendary vindictiveness and unquenchable thirst for spilling the blood of Rwandans. It is a shared risk that Rwandans bear daily in their quest for freedom and justice for all. Neither power and fame, nor gold and silver, are the motivation for me in these matters of death that have defined our nation for too long.
Truth cannot wait for tomorrow, because the Rwandan nation is very sick and divided, and cannot rebuild and heal on lies. All Rwandans urgently need truth today. Our individual and collective search for truth will set us free. When we are free, we can freely forgive each other and begin to live fully and heal at last.

DAR ES SALAAM (Reuters) - The U.N. war crimes tribunal for Rwanda on Friday acquitted two former Rwandan ministers of genocide charges, making them among the most high profile officials to be found not guilty of playing key roles in the 1994 slaughter of about 800,000 people.

The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda ordered the immediate release of former Health Minister Casimir Bizimungu and Jerome-Clement Bicamumpaka, who was foreign affairs minister at the time of the mass killings.
The Trial Chamber convicted two other former ministers, Justin Mugenzi and Prosper Mugiraneza, of conspiracy to commit genocide and direct and public incitement to commit genocide.
Both were sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Rwanda - Génocide: deux anciens ministres condamnés, deux autres acquittés

| Dr Casimir Bizimungu, PHD & MD |
Deux anciens ministres rwandais ont été condamnés à 30 ans de prison chacun pour leur implication dans le génocide de 1994 au Rwanda, et deux autres ministres ont été acquittés vendredi par le Tribunal pénal international pour le Rwanda (TPIR).Prosper Mugiraneza, ministre de la Fonction publique au moment du génocide, et Justin Mugenzi, alors ministre du Commerce, ont été condamnés à 30 ans de prison chacun pour "entente en vue de commettre un génocide" et "incitation directe et publique à commettre un génocide".
Poursuivis pour les mêmes faits, Casimir Bizimungu, ministre de la Santé au moment du génocide, et Jérôme Clément Bicamumpaka, alors ministre des Affaires étrangères, ont été acquittés par la Cour installée à Arusha (nord de la Tanzanie), qui n'a pas jugé suffisants les éléments de preuve à leur encontre.
Un des trois juges, Emile Short, a émis une opinion différente de ses collègues quant à la durée de la peine retenue, estimant que les deux condamnés auraient dû bénéficier d'une réduction de peine de cinq ans en raison de la tenue tardive de leur procès.

| Jérome Bicamumpaka |
Le jugement, un des plus importants pour le TPIR, est survenu en effet douze ans après l'arrestation des anciens ministres. Le procès avait démarré sur le fond en novembre 2003 et s'est achevé le 5 décembre 2008.
Les quatre anciens dignitaires, qui clamaient leur innocence, étaient notamment accusés d'avoir appelé aux massacres de Tutsi lors de plusieurs réunions et discours publics à travers le Rwanda en 1994, dont certains relayés par la Radio libre des mille collines.
Le plus connu des quatre accusés était Casimir Bizimungu, ancien petit-séminariste diplômé aux Etats-Unis, intellectuel et polyglotte, qui avait dirigé la diplomatie rwandaise de 1989 à 1992.
Le génocide perpétré par le régime extrémiste hutu alors au pouvoir a fait environ 800.000 morts selon l'Onu, dans leur écrasante majorité issus de la minorité tutsi, entre avril et juillet 1994, date de la victoire militaire de la guérilla du Front patriotique rwandais (FPR - actuellement au pouvoir).

Dear Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, Statesmen, Stateswomen and the world community:
Hear us out, please!
An open letter to the United Nations and the world community by the African Survivors advocates from around the world:
It has been nearly 17 years since our beloved country has been hijacked by a group of Tutsi extremists headed by General Paul Kagame, believed to have assassinated millions of Rwandans, Hutus and Tutsis, planned and triggered the Rwandan Genocide and planned and initiated the Congolese Genocide. More than 6 million Congolese and Rwandan Hutus have been mass-murdered by Kagame's army, RDF or by his proxy armies, RCD and CNDP, headed by Ruberwa, Nyarugabo, Bizima Karaha, Mutebusi, Nkunda and Bosco Ntaganda.
Ironically the world community banded together (1990-1993) and applied immense pressure on the previous Habyarimana regime on respecting "human rights" and " freeing " Ibyitso" and launch the pluralism in the country to only to paved way for eventually what lead to an unprecedented raise to Hutu anger and concerns later labeled either "Hutu extremism or Hutu power" and instability in the African Great lakes Region we are witnessing now.
In the past 17 years of Kagame and RPF United Nations has received countless reports from credible NGOs and human rights organizations world wide on Kagame and RPF's systematic human rights abuses, executions and unlawful imprisonment of political opponents such us Deo Mushayidi, Me Bernard Ntaganda, Niyitegeka, Charles Ntakirutinka, journalists Uwimana Agnes and Mukakibibi and civil lawyers including Peter Erlinder, Ms Ingabire’s lawyer, the execution of priests and bishops, the murder of Rwandan businessmen, teachers and students ordinarily Rwandan peasants believed to happen Hutu ethnic members, imprisonment and torture of the would-be president of Rwanda Mrs Ingabire Umuhoza Victoire, a mother of three children.
Despite of all these atrocities, lies and deceit RPF and Kagame, embolden by the world community's neutrality, have the audacity to step on the world stage and make mockery of world's universally recognized values and give us lecture on the most basic and obvious human and civil rights due to the complicity and plot of some westerners aimed to whitewash and or hide Gen. Kagame's criminal records!
The question is: Will continue the world community to turn a blind eye or like last year after publication of the UN Mapping Report and treat General Kagame to a slap on the face and walk out?
We freedom loving people of Rwanda seeking to establish a just and secular society which respects human dignity and need the world support to rid the world from the chock hold RPF government and General Paul Kagame, the Rwandan dictator have imposed on all of us.
The world governments must dig deep and stand on the right side of the history. Stand with people of Rwanda. People always all right and know who helped in the time of need. It is now that Rwanda shall find its true partners for a more secure and prosperous tomorrow.
The world governments must dig deep and stand on the right side of the history. Stand with people of Rwanda. People always all right and know who helped in the time of need. It is now that Rwanda shall find its true partners for a more secure and prosperous tomorrow.
As a matter of fact, here are some examples that show you how Paul Kagame, his allies and accomplices have tested the Rwandan genocide beginning with the assassination of Rwandans in the northern region, the rape of those Hutu women in that region as a weapon of war, the assassination of the first democratically elected Burundian president.
The voice of survivors and millions of victims of Paul Kagame and RPF criminals may not get to you or fall on deaf ears but one thing is for certain it is from our heart, it is from cry of the Mothers whose young Sons and Daughters were publicly hanged, beaten, raped, akandoyed dragged into streets before or after RPF took power in 1994. Our voice is the cry of systematic torture and illegal imprisonment of the finest individuals whose only crime is seeking what you and I take for granted "basic human freedom".
Hear us out!

Violence, Regionalism and Ethnicity: the RPF Strategy for Conquering Power in Rwanda
The massacres carried out from 1990 to 1993, like those of 1994, have been envisaged by the RPF instigators as instruments in the conquest of seizure of power in Kigali. At the same time, those massacres and assassinations plus serial killings in the Nyacyonga death camp for IDPs were seen by RPF philosophers, allies and accomplices as the best instrument to increase the anger among the Hutu community preparing the 1994 tragic events. The recourse to war and massacre of the Hutu population in the northern region of Rwanda for the purposes of "restoring" a political order rested upon a conception of power as RPF indivisible bloc, whose conquest determines the ruin of other claimants (Braud, 2005: 353/359; de Lame, 1997: 161, have both referred to a ‘winner takes all’ approach) in particular MRND and MDR and now FDU-Inkingi and Imberakuli social parties. Such is the extent to which clientelistic ties did not leave any sector sheltered from power that opting politically for the worst imposed its own order; and it was unconditional.
An eye-witness stated the following: "Before you started causing havoc on thecountry of Rwanda in 1990, when you started shelling its innocent people from Uganda with big sophisticated weapons and big guns, all this social development and the economic progress was there in Rwanda at even a faster rate than you would want people who do not know these facts to believe. People who know Rwanda can bail me out on this".
Very sincerely,

Three main episodes or stages were necessary before the mastermind of the Rwandan genocide to assassinate President Habyarimana. All conditions were gathered to make the genocide occur.
The very first episode Massacres of the population of Shonga, Commune Muvumba, Prefecture Byumba. The RPF occupied Shonga from October 1990 until its victory in July, 1994. The RPF decimated the population living in Shonga. Between 1991 and 1992, RPF massacred Hutu in the communes of Bwisige, Cyumba, Cyungo, Kibali, Kivuye, Kiyombe, Mukarage, Muvumba, and Ngarama of the prefecture of Byumba, Kanzenze, prefecture of Kigali and a member of the central committee of the Republican National Movement for Democracy and Development (MRND). In the night of November 17 and 18, 1993 the RPA under Colonel Kayizari massacred 48 unarmed civilians in the sous-prefecture of Kirambo, prefecture of Ruhengeri. In the same month of November 1993, the RPF Massacred of unarmed civilians in Commune Mutura, prefecture Gisenyi and Commune Bwisige, prefecture of Byumba. The United Nations Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) investigated the massacre of Mutura and Kirambo and never published its findings. In April 1994, the RPF under Colonel Kayonga has systematically eliminated : - Mujyanama, Theoneste, former attorney general; - Habimana, Aloys, former director in the ministry of agriculture; - Stanislas Niyibizi's wife and some children; - Hategekimana , Raphael, director of Village Urugwiro - Major Bugenimana, Helene and her children; - Bahigiki, Emmanuel, former secretary general in the ministry of planning, his wife, and children; - Gahutu, Jean, his wife and his children; - Nsengiyaremye, Theodore, pharmacist, his wife and his children; Munyangabe, Marcel, former president of the General Accounting Court, his wife and his children; | Massacres were also carried out in the communes Butaro, Cyeru, and Nyamugali of Ruhengeri. Some of the people from these communes were deported to Uganda and disappeared. RPF killings generated massive internally displaced persons who sought refuge at makeshift camps. The RPF shelled these camps although these internally displaced persons were not armed. On February 8, 1993, the RPF attacked the town of Ruhengeri and massacred unarmed civilians. During the attack the RPF summarily executed a large number of civilians including Barengayabo, President of the Appeal's Court and Philippe Gakwerere, Inspector of mining and their families. During its military offensive of February 1993, the RPF massacred unarmed civilians in Ngarama, Commune Gituza, Prefecture of Byumba. May 18, 1993, the RPF assassinated Emmanuel Gapyisi, who was the initiator of the Forum Paix et Démocratie (Peace and Democracy Forum) and a member of the political bureau of the Democratic Republican Movement (MDR) and president of MDR in the prefecture of Gikongoro. According to a UN secret report and to Jean-Pierre Mugabe, a former RPF official, General Kagame ordered the shooting down of the plane carrying President Juvenal Habyarimana and his Burundi counterpart, Cyprien Ntaryamira from house to house in Remera, Kigali killing businessmen, intellectuals, politicians, and all members of their families. RPF soldiers executed unarmed civilians who fled to Amahoro Stadium. Following are the names of the people executed by the RPF. The list is not exhaustive. - Ndagijimana, Celestin, Chief Administrator officer at IMPRISCO - Claudien Habarushaka, former prefect of Kigali; - Baliyanga, Sylvestre, then prefect of Ruhengeri, his wife and children; - Jean-Marie Vianney Mvulirwenande's wife and children; Massacre of Burundian refugees resettled in Commune Muvumba and massacre of Hima in Commune Muvumba, Prefecture of Byumba in October 1990 when the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) invaded Rwanda from its military bases in southwestern Uganda. | |||||||||||||||
The very Second Episode
A. BEFORE APRIL 1994 Massacre of Burundian refugees resettled in Commune Muvumba and massacre of Hima in Commune Muvumba, Prefecture of Byumba in October 1990 when the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) invaded Rwanda from its military bases in southwestern Uganda.Massacres were also carried out in the communes Butaro, Cyeru, and Nyamugali of Ruhengeri. Some of the people from these communes were deported to Uganda and disappeared. RPF killings generated massive internally displaced persons who sought refuge at makeshift camps. The RPF shelled these camps although these internally displaced persons were not armed. On May 18, 1993, the RPF assassinated Emmanuel Gapyisi, a member of the political bureau of the Democratic Republican Movement (MDR) and president of MDR in the prefecture of Gikongoro. In April 1994, the RPF under Colonel Kayonga went from house to house in Remera, Kigali killing businessmen, intellectuals, politicians, and all members of their families.

It evacuated civilians from Amahoro Stadium, Kigali to Byumba. Some of the people it evacuated were summarily executed in Byumba. Among them was Gregoire Kayinamura, vice president of MDR, Norbert Muhaturukundo, employee at the ministry of information, and Sebulikoko, Celestin, businessman. On June 5, 1994 RPF soldiers summarily executed three Catholic bishops: Vincent Nsengiyumva, Archbishop of Kigali; Thaddee Nsengiyumva, bishop of Kabgayi; Joseph Ruzindana, bishop of Byumba; and nine Catholic priests: Mgr. Innocent Gasabwoya, former General Vicar Bishop of Kamonyi; Mgr.

So far no RPF soldier has been prosecuted. **** A UNHCR report prepared by a team of three people headed by Robert Gersony on these numerous massacres that occurred as the RPF took control of Rwanda in 1994 was buried under pressure from the United States and the UN. According to Human Rights Watch and the FIDH, "From August 1 through September 5, the team visited ninety-one sites in forty one of the 145 communes of Rwanda and gathered detailed information about ten others". | On February 21, 1994, the RPF assassinated Felicien Gatabazi, the executive secretary of the Social democratic party (PSD). the Defense of the Republic (CDR). Colonel Karenzi of the RPF coordinated these political assassinations. The very Third and last episode The anger and fear, which fueled the conflict escalation.
On March 15, 1994 RPF soldiers under Colonel Kayonga carried out the assassination of Nathanael Nyilinkwaya, director of the tea factory of Cyohoha Rukeri, his wife, and two factory employees. From 1991 to 1993, RPF agents posed mines and bombs on roads, minibuses, and public places. Some of these agents were arrested carrying explosives. Others were arrested crossing into Rwanda from Burundi, Tanzania, and Zaire (the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Massacres of the population of Shonga, Commune Muvumba, Prefecture Byumba. The RPF occupied Shonga from October 1990 until its victory in July, 1994. The RPF decimated the population living in Shonga.

On February 8, 1993, the RPF attacked the town of Ruhengeri and massacred unarmed civilians. During the attack the RPF summarily executed a large number of civilians including Barengayabo, President of the Appeal's Court and Philippe Gakwerere, Inspector of mining and their families. During its military offensive of February 1993, the RPF massacred unarmed civilians in Ngarama, Commune Gituza, Prefecture of Byumba. B. FROM APRIL 6, 1994 TO PRESENT According to a UN secret report and to Jean-Pierre Mugabe, a former RPF official, General Kagame ordered the shooting down of the plane carrying President Juvenal Habyarimana and his Burundi counterpart, Cyprien Ntaryamira. The plane was shot down on April 6, 1994 at 8:30 PM as it was about to land at Kanombe International Airport. Presidents, their aides and the crew died on the impact. - Ndagijimana, Celestin, Chief Administrator officer at IMPRISCO - Claudien Habarushaka, former prefect of Kigali; - Baliyanga, Sylvestre, then prefect of Ruhengeri, his wife and children; - Jean-Marie Vianney Mvulirwenande's wife and children; - Mujyanama, Theoneste, former attorney general; - Ndaziramiye, Herson, his wife and children. - Gashegu, Dismas, former vice chancellor of the National University of Rwanda; - Mbanzarugamba, Felicien, employee at Bralirwa, his wife and children; - Kayibanda, Irenee, employee at Societe Nationale d'Assurances (SONARWA); - Hategekimana, Jean, president of the Court of Kigali, his wife and children; - Mupenda, Frederic, employee at the ministry of public works - Donat Hakizimana, his wife and children. - Nyungura, Emile, his wife and children; This list is not exhaustive.

After people had gathered to listen to RPF officials, RPF soldiers massacred them. The following terms are reminiscent of these episodes: kwitaba inama or to attend a public meeting; kwikiza umwanzi or to get rid of the enemy and gutegura or to clean up a place. When people were summoned to attend a public meeting, they were summarily executed. When people were summoned to clean up a place to supposedly resettle internally displaced people, they were summarily executed. When people were summoned to attend a public meeting to learn how to smoke out interahamwe, they were asked to tie each other arms behind the back using ropes. Then they were summarily executed. Human Rights Watch and the FIDH have reported these massacres in the publication mentioned earlier. They go on to say that "A written note produced by the UNHCR estimated only that the RPF had killed thousands of persons a month, but Gersony himself reportedly estimated that during the months from April to August the RPF killed between 25,000 and 45,000 persons, between 5,000 and 10,000 persons each month from April through July and 5,000 for the month of August. In press accounts based on leaked information, the figure most often cited was 30,000." | |||||||||||||||

Massacres of the Tutsis by Interahamwe and RPF infiltrators (14,000 in Kigali) were a must-HAPPEN-event for Paul Kagame as THE BRIDGE or THE LADDER for Him to seize power and, most importantly, to remain there without sharing it with his opponents or with the rival community.
African SurViVors International (AS International) is an international nonpartisan charity organization devoted to defending human rights. It’s an organization working to promote democracy and national reconciliation, inside countries of the African Great lakes Region.
AS International centers its work on the twin concepts of freedom of self-determination and freedom from tyranny. These ideals include the belief that all human beings have the rights to speak freely, to associate with those of like mind, and to leave and enter their countries. Individuals in a free society must be accorded equal treatment and due process under law, and must have the opportunity to participate in the governments of their countries;
AS International’s ideals likewise find expression in the conviction that all human beings have the right to be free from arbitrary detainment or exile and from interference and coercion in matters of conscience. ASI does not support nor condone violence.

The Truth can be buried and stomped into the ground where none can see, yet eventually it will, like a seed, break through the surface once again far more potent than ever, and Nothing can stop it. Truth can be suppressed for a "time", yet It cannot be destroyed. ==> Wolverine
