Kagame devra être livré aux Rwandais pour répondre à ses crimes: la meilleure option de réconciliation nationale entre les Hutus et les Tutsis.
Let us remember Our People
Let us remember our people, it is our right
You can't stop thinking
Don't you know
Rwandans are talkin' 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
The majority Hutus and interior Tutsi are gonna rise up
And get their share
SurViVors are gonna rise up
And take what's theirs.
We're the survivors, yes: the Hutu survivors!
Yes, we're the survivors, like Daniel out of the lions' den
(Hutu survivors) Survivors, survivors!
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
et up, stand up, don't give up the fight
“I’m never gonna hold you like I did / Or say I love you to the kids / You’re never gonna see it in my eyes / It’s not gonna hurt me when you cry / I’m not gonna miss you.”
The situation is undeniably hurtful but we can'stop thinking we’re heartbroken over the loss of our beloved ones.

Welcome to Home Truths
The year is 1994, the Fruitful year and the Start of a long epoch of the Rwandan RPF bloody dictatorship. Rwanda and DRC have become a unique arena and fertile ground for wars and lies. Tutsi RPF members deny Rights and Justice to the Hutu majority, to Interior Tutsis, to Congolese people, publicly claim the status of victim as the only SurViVors while millions of Hutu, interior Tutsi and Congolese people were butchered. Please make RPF criminals a Day One priority. Allow voices of the REAL victims to be heard.
Everybody Hurts
“Everybody Hurts” is one of the rare songs on this list that actually offers catharsis. It’s beautifully simple: you’re sad, but you’re not alone because “everybody hurts, everybody cries.” You’re human, in other words, and we all have our moments. So take R.E.M.’s advice, “take comfort in your friends,” blast this song, have yourself a good cry, and then move on. You’ll feel better, I promise.—Bonnie Stiernberg

Rwanda-rebranding-Targeting dissidents inside and abroad, despite war crimes and repression
Rwanda has “A well primed PR machine”, and that this has been key in “persuading the key members of the international community that it has an exemplary constitution emphasizing democracy, power-sharing, and human rights which it fully respects”. It concluded: “The truth is, however, the opposite. What you see is not what you get: A FAÇADE”
Rwanda has hired several PR firms to work on deflecting criticism, and rebranding the country.
Targeting dissidents abroad
One of the more worrying aspects of Racepoint’s objectives
was to “Educate and correct the ill informed and factually
incorrect information perpetuated by certain groups of expatriates
and NGOs,” including, presumably, the critiques
of the crackdown on dissent among political opponents
overseas.
This should be seen in the context of accusations
that Rwanda has plotted to kill dissidents abroad. A
recent investigation by the Globe and Mail claims, “Rwandan
exiles in both South Africa and Belgium – speaking in clandestine meetings in secure locations because of their fears of attack – gave detailed accounts of being recruited to assassinate critics of President Kagame….
Ways To Get Rid of Kagame
How to proceed for revolution in Rwanda:
- The people should overthrow the Rwandan dictator (often put in place by foreign agencies) and throw him, along with his henchmen and family, out of the country – e.g., the Shah of Iran, Marcos of Philippines.Compaore of Burkina Faso
- Rwandans organize a violent revolution and have the dictator killed – e.g., Ceaucescu in Romania.
- Foreign powers (till then maintaining the dictator) force the dictator to exile without armed intervention – e.g. Mátyás Rákosi of Hungary was exiled by the Soviets to Kirgizia in 1970 to “seek medical attention”.
- Foreign powers march in and remove the dictator (whom they either instated or helped earlier) – e.g. Saddam Hussein of Iraq or Manuel Noriega of Panama.
- The dictator kills himself in an act of desperation – e.g., Hitler in 1945.
- The dictator is assassinated by people near him – e.g., Julius Caesar of Rome in 44 AD was stabbed by 60-70 people (only one wound was fatal though).
- Organise strikes and unrest to paralyze the country and convince even the army not to support the dictaor – e.g., Jorge Ubico y Castañeda was ousted in Guatemala in 1944 and Guatemala became democratic, Recedntly in Burkina Faso with the dictator Blaise Compaoré.

KAGAME VS JUSTICE
Monday, June 4, 2012
[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=>As International]

Pierre Péan - journaliste
Pierre Péan, auteur de «Noires fureurs, blancs menteurs » et de « Carnage » , démonte le scoop de Libération sur la présence supposée de missiles français dans l'armée rwandaise avant l'attentat qui a coûté la vie à Juvénal Habyarimana. En réalité, l'information, qui n'est pas nouvelle, avait été écartée comme non pertinente par le Tribunal pénal international.
Médiatiquement, le scoop de Libération qui a affirmé dans son édition du 1er juin que 15 missiles Mistral étaient présents dans les stocks des Forces de l’Armée Rwandaise (FAR) du régime Habyarimana, a été une belle réussite, un coup relayé par la plupart des médias français. Petit problème, le scoop n’en est pas un.
La liste faisant état de ces missiles sol-air de fabrication française – pièce découverte par une journaliste britannique dans les archives de l'ONU – a été remise jeudi aux juges Marc Trévidic et Nathalie Poux par les deux avocats. Information également transmise à Libération qui la mettait en une dès le lendemain. Ce « scoop » est censé fragiliser la thèse actuelle qui désigne Paul Kagame comme le commanditaire de l’attentat qui a coûté la vie au président Juvénal Habyarimana. Attentat qui est le facteur déclenchant du génocide. Il n’est pas besoin d’être un expert pour comprendre l'effet produit par la présentation du document dans la tête des lecteurs de Libération et des autres médias qui le relaient : si les FAR avaient possédé des Mistral, ils auraient pu s’en servir pour tirer sur le Falcon 50. Ce stock signerait la responsabilité des Hutus et la complicité de la France dans l'attentat déclencheur du génocide…
"The french judge has no right to judge me...." President Kagame
Ce faux scoop, signé par la journaliste Maria Malagardis, correspond en réalité à une énième manipulation de Kigali. Le prétendu dépôt de 15 Mistral chez les FAR a été signalé dès octobre 1994 par Alison Des Forges de Human Rights Watch, elle se basait alors sur une liste établie par Sean Moorhouse, un officier britannique de la MINUAR2, qui lui-même la détenait de seconde main.
Contacté de plusieurs côtés, Moorhouse nie aujourd’hui avoir écrit que les FAR possédaient 15 Mistral. Dans un échange de courriels avec le professeur belge Filip Reyntjens, Moorhouse écrivait, l’an dernier, à propos de cette liste reprise par HWR : « Je n'ai pas rédigé la liste d'armes soupçonnées d'être en possession des FAR. Je l'ai héritée. » Moorhouse ajoute qu'il n'accorde pas beaucoup de foi à la fiabilité de cette liste, qui s’inscrit dans le flot des rumeurs de l’époque. Il suggère même que les Mistral y ont été ajoutés plus tard. Filip Reyntjens n'a pas tardé à donner son commentaire du « scoop » de Libération : « Tout ceci n'est donc pas sérieux, et tout ce que Maria Malagardis a "révélé" est sa propre légèreté dans le traitement d'un dossier qui mérite un peu plus de rigueur. »
« Faux scoop… Ridicule… Pétard mouillé… », m'a déclaré, pour sa part, le colonel Luc Marchal, adjoint du général Dallaire à la MINUAR en 1994. Officier belge, il était l’homme qui était chargé de savoir où étaient les armes des parties (FAR et FPR) et de mettre sous séquestre les armes non individuelles. Très sévère avec l'article de Libération, il affirme que ce document était connu depuis longtemps et qu’il a été discuté à Arusha, au TPIR, avant d’être écarté, parce que non pertinent. « Si les FAR avaient possédé des Mistral, j’aurais été au courant, c’était mon boulot. La possession de tels missiles aurait nécessité une infrastructure qu’ils n’avaient pas… Et, si les FAR en avait disposés, ils les auraient mis en batterie pour protéger l’espace aérien et on les aurait donc repérés. »
Libération a publié ce faux scoop au moment précis où les avocats des parties civiles déposaient leurs conclusions sur l’expertise balistique dans le dossier de l’attentat. Cette exptertise, sans être catégorique, orientait l’enquête vers des tirs de missiles depuis le camp de Kanombe, alors aux mains des FAR, plutôt que depuis la ferme de Masaka.
Sans désigner pour autant les auteurs possibles de cette attaque. Libération en avait tiré des conclusions totalement abusives, barrant sa une du 11 janvier 2012 d’un très gros « Irréfutable ». Le quotidien reprenait ainsi, sans aucune précaution, la thèse de Kigali, donnant ainsi à croire aux lecteurs du quotidien que l’enquête était bouclée, que le président du Rwanda Paul Kagame était innocent et que les extrémistes Hutus étaient les auteurs de l’attentat, avec un titre qui faisait dire au rapport ce qu’il ne suggérait même pas : « Rwanda : la preuve d’un génocide planifié »…

Cette "une" et cet article ont suscité de nombreuses réactions indignées, dont celle de Rony Brauman, Claudine Vidal et Jean-Hervé Bradol qui ont publié dans Marianne une tribune sous le titre « Les idiots utiles de Kagamé ». Les « idiots utiles » ont donc remis le couvert au moment précis où étaient déposés chez les juges des documents montrant que ce rapport n’était pas, comme ils l’avaient martelé, irréfutable, mais nécessitait au contraire une contre-expertise.
Le faux scoop de Libération est donc un nouvel enfumage au moment où plusieurs des plus proches collaborateurs de Paul Kagame ont décidé de se confier aux juges français. Ils disposent d'informations inédites qui tendent à mettre en cause Paul Kagamé et à le désigner comme le commanditaire de l’attentat.
Le cupide président francais et le menteur professionnel Paul Kagame |
Le jeu de Kigali s'explique facilement : le régime rwandais réagit pour faire pression sur les juges au moment où il est fragilisé par le départ de Nicolas Sarkozy qui souhaitait l’abandon de l’instruction sur l’attentat. Il y va de sa survie tant la décision judiciaire de sa culpabilité remettrait totalement en cause sa légitimité de Paul Kagamé.
Une fois de plus, Libération semble s'être transformé en une sorte de Pravda de Kigali. La thèse de l’article ressemble à s’y méprendre à l'un des axes de la défense de Me Lev Forster et Me Bernard Maingain, les avocats des neuf Rwandais de l’entourage de Paul Kagame, toujours mis en examen, malgré les très fortes pressions exercées sur les juges français depuis six ans. La tragédie rwandaise a fait émerger un nouveau genre de journalistes. Ceux qui savent a priori la vérité et qui enquêtent ensuite pour prouver qu’ils ont raison. Une investigation hémiplégique, dont Libération n'a pas, hélas le monopole.

PRESIDENT PAUL KAGAME IS TO BLAME FOR THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN EASTERN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO(DRC)
On behalf of the Rwanda National Congress (RNC), let me take this opportunity to bring to your kind attention concerns regarding the deepening humanitarian and security crisis in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It has been reported by the United Nations Office for Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs that there have more than 300,000 internally displaced people in North and South Kivu in the first quarter of this year alone. In the last few days, escalation of fighting has led to more internally displaced people, and refugees fleeing to Rwanda and Uganda. Many millions, including women and children have died, displaced and raped in eastern DRC since 1994.
THE CONTEXT
You might recall that the 1990- 1994 war and genocide in Rwanda resulted in millions of Rwandan refugees in the region, mostly in DRC, including thousands of Rwanda government military forces (FAR) and militia (interahamwe). The Government of Rwanda attacked the refugee camps in Congo in October, 1996 under the pretext of a ‘Abanyamurenge rebellion’. The war culminated in the overthrow of President Mobutu in May, 1997.
Thereafter, Laurent Desire Kabila succeeded Mobutu as President with the help of the Rwandan Armed forces. The alliance between Paul Kagame and Laurent Desire Kabila could not last more than two years and both countries were again involved in war in August 1998.
First, then Vice President Paul Kagame expected to control the new government of DRC and believed President Kabila would always solicit political direction from Rwanda. To ensure this, Rwanda deployed LTC James Kabarebe (now General) as Chief of Staff of the Congolese Army to keep President Kabila on the leash. This was detested by Kabila and his followers which resulted in friction and conflict in the Congolese Army.
Second, then Vice President Kagame demanded mineral concessions to be granted to Rwanda as compensation for expenses of the war and as a personal reward for installing President Kabila in power. This did not happen and Paul Kagame hatched a plan to remove President Kabila through a coup d’etat, which failed. President Kabila retaliated by expelling LTC James Kabarebe together with all Rwandan troops in DRC, precipitating the all-out war into which several African countries, notably Zimbabwe and Angola, were sucked. President Laurent Kabila was assassinated, and succeeded by his son, Joseph Kabila.
Third, a reason had to be found to begin a war and the EX-FAR was a perfect excuse, although at the same time the war was waged under the pretext of a mutiny by the Congolese army, with President Kabila being accused of allying himself with the EX-FAR. At first, Rwanda concealed its involvement. As the conflict intensified and drew many African countries, Rwanda’s deceptions had reached a limit and had to create a proxy politico-military organization. Thus was RCD born. The war ended in a stalemate, and a negotiated political settlement led to the establishment of a broad-based government that included all fighting forces. However, against all advice, Paul Kagame dissuaded some political and military elements of the RCD from joining the new broad-based government in Kinshasa. Out of these former RCD elements, a new proxy force, CNDP, was established under the leadership of General Laurent Nkunda.
CNDP, GENERAL LAURENT NKUNDA AND GENERAL BOSCO NTAGANDA
The justification for creation of the CNDP was to fight the FDLR and “protect the Tutsi community in Kivu.” However, the true objective was to keep the government of DRC weak through endless war. Like many millions of Congolose who have died due to the unending conflict and its consenquences, the Congolese Tutsi have been both tools and victims of President Kagame’s policies and actions in DRC. Furthermore, the proxy forces facilitated resource plunder by President Kagame’s ruling RPF companies and associates. At a personal level, President Paul Kagame became the focal diplomatic contact about the security situation in DRC. While he precipitated this horrendous humanitarian situation and should have been held to account, he has on the contrary been viewed in many capitals as the solution and indispensable interlocutor for the realization of security in DRC and the Great Lakes region.
In 2009, Gen Laurent Nkunda was “arrested” (President Kagame said on BBC that he is his guest) and was replaced by Gen Bosco Ntaganda by the government of Rwanda. Gen Bosco Ntaganda was integrated in CNDP after the war in Ituri in DRC and was helped by the government of Rwanda to depose Gen Nkunda.
It is well known that Gen Bosco Ntaganda is a Rwandese from Masisi, and should have had no interest in the “Ituri wars” between the Balendu and Bahema in Kivu. The Ugandan rebels of ADF were allegedly operating among the Ituri tribes and Rwanda sought to exploit the situation by arming Thomas Lubanga and seconded Bosco Ntaganda as his military Commander. Thomas Lubanga has been convicted by the ICC and Bosco Ntaganda is being hunted by the ICC. It is only fair that President Paul Kagame on whose behest these two individuals committed war crimes should be part of the indictment.
EMERGING SCENARIOS
After the conviction of Thomas Lubanga in the ICC, international pressure has mounted on President Kabila to arrest Gen Ntaganda. For President Kabila, it is a perfect opportunity to dispense with an officer in his Army who takes orders from another country, Rwanda in this case. The problem however, is that President Kabila does not control the CNDP because, as Rwanda’s proxy force, they have never been fully integrated in the Congolese Army and he cannot transfer any of them from Kivu. The government of Rwanda would do whatever it takes to make sure that Gen Ntaganda is not arrested because of the information that implicates President Kagame he would divulge at the ICC.
Some of the likely scenarios include the following:
1. The government of Rwanda will arm and help Gen Ntaganda fight the Congolese government forces until President Kabila realizes that he will have to negotiate a peaceful settlement.
2. If international pressure continues for the arrest of Gen Ntaganda, the government of Rwanda will offer to assist ( already doing so), by sending its Special Forces or use elements within CNDP to kill Gen. Ntaganda to make sure he is not taken to the ICC.
3. As the war rages on and the international community needs assistance, President Kagame will, as usual, reposition himself as the regional leader and savior for resolving this stalemate, in the “interest of regional stability.” As political crisis looms large in Rwanda and the Kivus, he will use the opportunity to conceal and deny his own misdemeanors while dictating his own terms of any new arrangements.
4. Like in 2009, under the ‘Amani Leo’, this situation may provide a perfect opportunity for another deployment of Rwanda government forces into the DRC
5. A wild card triggers a worst-case scenario, in which full-fledged civil wars erupt in Rwanda ( as mounting domestic pressures lead to implosion) and DRC, with grave consequences for the whole fragile region, thus perpetuating the cycle of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
IMPLICATIONS
Due to President Paul Kagame’s policies in Rwanda and the DRC, the Tutsi community of DRC are frequently singled out and blamed to a larger extent by other tribes for atrocities in DRC since 1996. The Rwandan community in DRC (Hutu and Tutsi) in general has been drawn into a conflict among themselves and against all other tribes who view them as proxies of a foreign government. Since 1996, the proxy wars in DRC especially in both North and South Kivu have resulted in millions of deaths, displacement and refugees, which occasionally President Kagame deceptively justifies as “collateral damage” for hunting down FDLR, whose numbers have in any case diminished over the years.
The endless conflicts in DRC have resulted in uncontrolled proliferation of arms from the governments to militias over whom they have a lose control. Some of these militias have been involved in massive rape of women and deaths of children.
Most importantly, as we all have witnessed during the last two decades, crisis in any one country poses great risk to the whole Great Lakes region. Crisis in the Great Lakes region has before escalated to a “continental” war when several African countries intervened in the 1998-2002 Congo war. Already there are several millions who have died in this region due to genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, other gross abuses of human rights, and the consequences of humanitarian catastrophe. Clearly, the current escalating situation in the Great Lakes region has serious implications for international peace and security.
At the center of endless conflict and humanitarian crisis in DRC and the Great Lakes is lack of accountability and the impunity it fosters. For example, In the United Nations Human Rights Commission Mapping Report on DRC of October, 2010, the Government of Rwanda under President Kagame is implicated in war crimes, crimes against humanity, and even “possible acts of genocide.” The crimes have been investigated but the perpetrators are yet to be brought to account. Why would the U.N. Security Council seek accountability from Thomas Lubanga General Bosco Ntaganda alone, and fall silent on President Paul Kagame and his other accomplices, who have created the conditions and organization that sustain the crimes?
Furthermore, President Kagame seeks to draw attention away from his human rights abuses in Rwanda by diverting the international community and media to focus on DRC. Since 1994, the Rwandan armed forces have been kept at war both in DRC and recently in peace keeping missions. This facilitates President Kagame to blackmail and manipulate domestic and international opinion that the country is at war. Depicting himself as indispensable to Rwanda’s and regional security, he uses the pretext of war to close avenues for peaceful reform and to brand his critics as accomplices, terrorists or sympathizers of rebels.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The events unfolding in eastern DRC have the potential to trigger massive violence and humanitarian tragedy of catastrophic proportions. The greatest danger, recent history shows, is that the international community may be silent, indifferent, act in an unfair or timid fashion, or rather too late.
The international community must engage President Paul Kagame and other stakeholders candidly and forcefully to halt the current escalation and work towards sustainable peace and security. Since President Paul Kagame’s policies and actions in DRC are conditioned by his domestic requirements in Rwanda, the international community should insist that the government in Rwanda immediately and unconditional release all political prisoners, end persecution (including arbitrary arrests and detentions, torture, involuntary disappearances and extra-judicial killings) of government opponents and critics and their relatives, engage in comprehensive and unconditional dialogue with the opposition to resolve the political and security impasse engulfing Rwanda and the Great Lakes region, and stop proxy wars in eastern DRC. The international community should be even and act fairly by using international mechanisms to ensure that all those who have committed crimes, including President Kagame himself, are held accountable and brought to justice.

Kigali, 12 May 2012
We are saddened by the death of Sadiki Mutabazi in Kigali hospital after setting himself alight in a protest against violence by security staff.
FDU-Inkingi is deeply saddened by the passing of Sadiki Mutabazi and takes this opportunity to express its sincere condolences to his family. He died of severe burns resulting from a self immolation after the regime security personnel confiscated his belongings and beat him publicly in Gisenyi (Rubavu District).
In our 08 May 2012 press release , we underlined how this young boy in a desperate move decided to terminate his life after this public humiliation. In unprecedented protest, he poured gasoline over his body and set himself ablaze like the public self immolation of Mohammed Bouazizi in Tunisia that triggered the Arab spring.
We call upon the government of Rwanda to hand over his remains and provide support for a honorable burial. The RPF-led government needs to inform the public about urgent measures taken if any to investigate and bring to book those involved in Sadiki Mutabazi ordeal and to subsequently sanction security hierarchy in the area.

Théogène Rudasingwa, ancien bras droit du président rwandais Paul Kagame, a été entendu vendredi à Paris dans le cadre de la deuxième enquête française sur l’attentat du 6 avril 1994 contre l’avion du président Juvénal Habyarimana. Issu de l’ancienne diaspora tutsi comme l’homme fort de Kigali, Rudasingwa accuse le président Kagame, depuis son exil en 2005, d’être le principal responsable de cet attentat. Un attentat considéré comme l’élément déclencheur du génocide de 1994 qui a fait, selon l’ONU, près de 800.000 morts, essentiellement d’ethnie tutsi.
Par Clive Muhenga
"J’ai répondu aux questions des juges (Marc) Trévidic et (Nathalie) Poux la semaine dernière. J’ai dit tout ce que je sais de cet attentat ", a indiqué Rudasingwa l’ancien directeur de cabinet du président Kagame, à Radio Netherlands Worldwide, joint au téléphone aux Etats-Unis. Aujourd’hui membre très actif du Congrès national rwandais (Rwanda National Congress - RNC) qu’il a créé en exil avec d’autres anciens compagnons d’armes du chef de l’Etat, Rudasingwa fut également secrétaire général du Front patriotique rwandais (FPR) actuellement au pouvoir, puis ambassadeur du Rwanda aux Etats-Unis.
Menaces
"Plusieurs autres témoins rwandais sont prêts à être entendus. Mais il faudra que des mesures de protection soient prises pour eux parce que Kagame veut éliminer tous ceux qui détiennent des informations sur cet attentat", a poursuivi Rudasingwa. "Moi-même je suis conscient des menaces contre ma personne, mais il arrive des moments où l’on prend son courage à deux mais pour dire la vérité." L’ambassadrice rwandaise aux Pays-Bas, Immaculée Uwanyiligira, a réfuté l’année dernière toute allégation de menaces de la diaspora rwandaise.
Rudasingwa a expliqué à RNW avoir pris ce risque à cause de la "gravité de la question". "Les gens doivent dire la vérité, aussi longtemps que le mensonge et l’impunité règneront au Rwanda, il n’y aura pas de justice au Rwanda. Il faut la justice pour tous les Rwandais ", a déclaré Rudasingwa. "Il faut que l’auteur principal de cet attentat soit puni, dans l’intérêt de la justice, de l’unité et de la réconciliation des Rwandais. C’est Kagame qui a ordonné d’abattre l’avion, déclenchant ainsi le génocide. Il faut que les auteurs du génocide (des Tutsi) soient poursuivis et punis. Sans oublier Kagame qui l’a déclenché", a-t-il ajouté dans cet entretien téléphonique. Il a refusé d’aborder en détail son interrogatoire par les deux juges français.
L’enquête Habyarimana
Une enquête a été ouverte en France en 1998 suite aux plaintes des familles des membres d’équipages français décédés dans l’attentat. D’abord menée par le juge Jean-Louis Bruguière, qui avait conclu en 2006 à la responsabilité du FPR, l’instruction est désormais entre les mains de deux juges anti-terroristes, Nathalie Poux et Marc Trévidic. Les résultats d'une expertise balistique effectuée à leur demande in situ à Kigali, en septembre 2010, sont toujours attendus.
Le Bureau du Procureur auprès du Tribunal pénal international pour le Rwanda (TPIR) s’est toujours refusé à enquêter sur l’attentat du 6 avril 1994, affirmant qu’il ne rentrait pas dans son mandat, explication qui ne convainc pas les organisations internationales de défense des droits de l’homme comme Human Rights Watch et Amnesty International.

Are Rwanda’s courts ready to prosecute the country’s worst crimes? As opposition leader Victoire Ingabire announces she will boycott her terror trial after losing all hope of having a fair trial, some critics are saying it appears not.
By Josephine Uwineza, Hilversum
“I cannot carry on with this case," she told judges on Monday. "My trust in the judiciary has waned. I and my legal representatives will not report to this court any more."
At the same time that Ingabire—and even her lawyer—are boycotting her trial and accusing the judge of bias, the International Criminal Court for Rwanda (ICTR) is going ahead with its plan to transfer its first war crimes suspect to Rwanda’s courts: Pastor Jean Uwinkindi, charged with genocide, extermination and crimes against humanity during the 1994 genocide, will be sent to Kigali later this week.
ICTR judges had previously kept Uwikindi in Arusha, saying they couldn’t send him back until “a suitable monitoring mechanism is established to oversee his trial." In ruling that Uwikindi could be returned, court President Judge Khalida Rachid Khan instructed the registry to “urgently undertake discussions and negotiations” to put such a monitoring system in place. While ultimately the ACHPR (African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights) will monitor the domestic trials, for now, an interim monitor is doing the job.Fair trial?
Courts worldwide—including those in Canada, Norway, Sweden and even the ECHR (European Court of Human Rights)—are also ruling that it is safe to send Rwandans back home for fair trials.
But Victoire Ingabire insists it is not.
During her trial in Kigali last month, she challenged judges to nullify the laws related to “divisionism” and “genocide ideology.” She argued they are too broad and being exploited by current President Paul Kagame’s government to limit the freedom of thought.
The ideology law is seen by many legal specialists and human rights organizations as “impossibly vague, broad and abstract,” according to a 2010 Amnesty International report.
But just last week, Rwandan Supreme Court judges rejected her plea on a technicality, saying “she had failed to secure a copy of the 2008 law on genocide, which was also supposed to be attached to her plea.”
Ingabire’s key witness, Michel Habimana, a Lt Colonel of the FDLR (Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda), told the court he has been intimidated by prosecutors’ threats and interrogated by unknown officials, casting further doubts, say legal experts, on the independence of the judiciary.

[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=>As International]

“ RPF weaponsbuilding and RPF propaganda campaigns still increase tensions
Between Hutus and Tutsis throughout the country”
As we did not forget ubwicanyi bwa FPR, and how the genocide

Brothers and sisters, the horror remains in our minds
Kwicisha udufuni, kubamba abantu ku biti, gusekura impinja ba nyina bakazirya, Kurunda abahutukazi mu mazu,
Bakajugujyamo grenades haba muli Gitarama,
za Ruhengeri na Byumba,
Kurunda abagore n'abana mu birwa bya Cyohoha,
Bakaribwa n'imisundwe,
Gufatwa kungufu muli za gereza za communes na gendarmeries, abana balira muzindi cells,
Abandi bakicana babitegetswe
n'abagizi ba nabi ba RPF,usigaye akicwa urubozo na RPF soldier,
Kwica abagabo gusa(gendercide) ku musanze n'i Gitarama;
Abaphiriye mu manama, mu bukwe, ntiwareba!
Izo nzira karengane zose, haba mu Rwanda muli Congo
N'abandi bose bishwe na the RPF death squad,
Parents, brothers and sisters, wives and husbands,
For all mass-slaughtered refugees,
Abo bose,
They sent ripples of pain through our minds.
Memories of death and haunted fears,
And the chills begin to crawl slowly up our spines.
The shockwaves of RPF terror, then the wiping of tears,
For it was all too real once more.
We grieve for the innocent lives that were lost,
As our prayers begin to reach Heaven's door.
Take their hands Dear God we pray,
And let them know we truly cared.
Their lives will not have been lost in vain,
But we're thankful for the lives that were spared.
We share the emptiness they feel inside,
The pains of grief they bear.
The loss of direction, their questions of why,
With the smell of murder in the air.
Whether it be Byumba, Ruhengeri, Kibungo & Gitarama,
Or out on the open waves.
These beasts keep planting the seeds of fear,
While their leaders hide in those Rwanda caves.
Thinking nobody will find them
Even if arrest warrants are flying above them
You are in our hearts and our minds,
For the losses you have suffered today.
We'll continue the prayers to our Lord above,
That He'll hold your fears at bay.
For all those victims, no kubabikoze bose bica abandi,
kuli Kagame wiyibagiza ibyaha yakoze, na RPF members,
So that we can fully reconcile,
Do more than to remember, Organize yourselves
Have a united community against Kagame the Devil,
And one day we will be deliberated, the Evil combatants will be captured and sent to the bar of Justice and of course
We will remember our deliverance
And one day you will be hearing again your beloved hymn
With Faith and overwhelming emotions.
Never forget.

Profile
I am Jean-Christophe Nizeyimana, an Economist, Content Manager, and EDI Expert, driven by a passion for human rights activism. With a deep commitment to advancing human rights in Africa, particularly in the Great Lakes region, I established this blog following firsthand experiences with human rights violations in Rwanda and in the DRC (formerly Zaïre) as well. My journey began with collaborations with Amnesty International in Utrecht, the Netherlands, and with human rights organizations including Human Rights Watch and a conference in Helsinki, Finland, where I was a panelist with other activists from various countries.
My mission is to uncover the untold truth about the ongoing genocide in Rwanda and the DRC. As a dedicated voice for the voiceless, I strive to raise awareness about the tragic consequences of these events and work tirelessly to bring an end to the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF)'s impunity.
This blog is a platform for Truth and Justice, not a space for hate. I am vigilant against hate speech or ignorant comments, moderating all discussions to ensure a respectful and informed dialogue at African Survivors International Blog.
Genocide masterminded by RPF
Finally the well-known Truth Comes Out.
After suffering THE LONG years, telling the world that Kagame and his RPF criminal organization masterminded the Rwandan genocide that they later recalled Genocide against Tutsis. Our lives were nothing but suffering these last 32 years beginning from October 1st, 1990 onwards. We are calling the United States of America, United Kingdom, Japan, and Great Britain in particular, France, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany to return to hidden classified archives and support Honorable Tito Rutaremara's recent statement about What really happened in Rwanda before, during and after 1994 across the country and how methodically the Rwandan Genocide has been masterminded by Paul Kagame, the Rwandan Hitler. Above all, Mr. Tito Rutaremara, one of the RPF leaders has given details about RPF infiltration methods in Habyarimana's all instances, how assassinations, disappearances, mass-slaughters across Rwanda have been carried out from the local autority to the government,fabricated lies that have been used by Gacaca courts as weapon, the ICTR in which RPF had infiltrators like Joseph Ngarambe, an International court biased judgments & condemnations targeting Hutu ethnic members in contraversal strategy compared to the ICTR establishment to pursue in justice those accountable for crimes between 1993 to 2003 and Mapping Report ignored and classified to protect the Rwandan Nazis under the RPF embrella . NOTHING LASTS FOREVER.

Everything happens for a reason
Bad things are going to happen in your life, people will hurt you, disrespect you, play with your feelings.. But you shouldn't use that as an excuse to fail to go on and to hurt the whole world. You will end up hurting yourself and wasting your precious time. Don't always think of revenging, just let things go and move on with your life. Remember everything happens for a reason and when one door closes, the other opens for you with new blessings and love.
Hutus didn't plan Tutsi Genocide
Kagame, the mastermind of Rwandan Genocide (Hutu & tutsi)
