A Candle For Remembering

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.

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. "You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom". Malcolm X

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

KAGAME - GENOCIDAIRE

Paul Kagame admits ordering...

Paul Kagame admits ordering the 1994 assassination of President Juvenal Habyarimana of Rwanda.

Why did Kagame this to me?

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

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

Rwanda-rebranding

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.

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:
  1. 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
  2. Rwandans organize a violent revolution and have the dictator killed – e.g., Ceaucescu in Romania.
  3. 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”.
  4. 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.
  5. The dictator kills himself in an act of desperation – e.g., Hitler in 1945.
  6. 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).
  7. 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.

The Eyes of Truth
[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]


Je ne regrette rien: UN reports say President Paul Kagame’s army killed tens of thousands of Rwandans and Congolese while securing his country’s borders – but he remains unapologetic about his record




In 2006, a law was introduced to the US legislature individually sponsored by senator – and future president – Barack Obama. It passed almost unnoticed.

But the Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act may now have found its moment, as Rwanda has been accused of helping to foment a fresh rebellion in neighbouring eastern Congo.
The act requires the US to strengthen enforcement of an international arms embargo on Congo and encourage “more effective protection of its natural resources ... especially in the eastern part of the country”. It also authorises the US to withhold assistance for any foreign country determined by the secretary of state to be acting to destabilise the DRC.

On the face of it, that is exactly what has been happening almost 10 years since the official end to Congo’s apocalyptic civil war. Only three years since the war’s main protagonists, Paul Kagame, the president of Rwanda, and President Joseph Kabila of Congo sealed a bilateral entente addressing a complex web of residual conflicts, Rwanda has been found in violation of the arms embargo by a UN Group of Experts.

The report, issued this month, reinforces earlier allegations from Human Rights Watch and from the UN peacekeeping mission in Congo. It details high-level complicity by the Rwandan authorities in mobilising fighters and supplying weapons and ammunition to the M23, a militia led by ethnic Tutsis that is responsible for the worst outbreak of violence in the region in several years. This has escalated in recent days, displacing hundreds of thousands and threatening the regional capital, Goma.

“These mutineers could not even be thinking about taking Goma without the help of Rwanda; the evidence is now overwhelming. We have documented that Rwandan military officials at senior levels are clearly involved in support for M23,” says Anneke Van Woudenberg, the Congo expert at Human Rights Watch.

This is a drama that has played out repeatedly during the past decade as the UN panel of experts, set up by the Security Council to report on the trade in weapons and illicit flow of minerals from Congo, has frequently accused Rwanda of violations.

Furious denials – often in the face of compelling evidence – have followed from the government. Western donors are often left wringing their hands. They have invested heavily in Rwanda’s remarkable social and economic recovery under Mr Kagame’s leadership since the 1994 genocide but are ostrich-like when it comes to his army’s more sinister involvement in the violence and plunder in Congo.

Those donors have been frequently outmanoeuvred by a man, Mr Kagame, and a movement, his ruling Rwandan Patriotic Front. For all Rwanda’s dependence on foreign aid to support its budget, they have rarely waited for a green light from the west before acting in what they believe are their best interests.



As Congo faces another meltdown, the dilemma is how to rein in the ambitions of both man and movement. These have appeared to have outgrown the densely populated mountain country of 11m they have controlled with an iron fist since 1994, with potentially enormous consequences for the territorial integrity of neighbouring Congo and the stability of its central African surroundings.

Ever since the Rwandan army crossed into Congo in 1996 in pursuit of ethnic Hutu forces with a persistently genocidal agenda gathered on the border, and went on to help overthrow the former dictator Mobutu Sese Seko, speculation has been rife that Mr Kagame harbours expansionary ambitions.

The Financial Times has received a draft of Kigali’s detailed rebuttal to the UN report, which it plans to submit to the Security Council on Monday. Its argues that the UN panel report fails to offer a motive, relies almost exclusively on unreliable, anonymous or compromised sources to “retrofit” evidence to suit a predetermined narrative and serves as “the latest act of a carefully orchestrated media and political strategy to cast Rwanda as the villain in this new wave of tensions in eastern DRC”.

Although the rebuttal is carefully argued, international patience already appears to be wearing thin. If it is proved that Rwanda has been feigning constructive engagement with Congo while undermining hopes of peace in the vast, mineral-rich country it neighbours, a slew of international countermeasures could kick in.

These would squeeze the country’s finances and erode the moral capital Mr Kagame, an ethnic Tutsi, has been accustomed to command since his guerrillas ended the genocide.

Last week, Stephen Rapp, a senior US official, said Mr Kagame could be liable for war crimes charges at the International Criminal Court although the state department later backtracked, saying no action had been initiated. The M23’s leader, Bosco Ntaganda, is an indictee, making Rwanda complicit in another violation of international law if it has indeed been supporting the rebellion.

Donors who fret they have been misled by Rwanda will weigh carefully Kigali’s response in days to come. In the mean time, the Netherlands has suspended budget support to Rwanda’s judiciary worth €5m ($6m). Washington, which counts Mr Kagame among its closest allies in Africa, has frozen $200,000 of military aid in an unprecedented slap. Nordic countries and India on the board of the African Development Bank have meanwhile forced a one-month delay in the disbursal of $38m in budget support while they pore over the allegations.

“We need to see how Rwanda and the region will respond before making our move,” a Swedish official says.
Even Britain, the largest bilateral donor to Rwanda, which could previously be relied on to champion Mr Kagame’s leadership through thick and thin, has delayed the first instalment of a twice-yearly disbursal of £16m aid as it verifies compliance with human rights provisions.

The sanctions applied so far are predominantly symbolic. But they will disrupt budget flows and have put Kigali on the back foot.

The question is whether it is wise to put Mr Kagame on the back foot.

The Rwandan leader has a highly developed sense of western mendacity and an independent-minded streak forged at the height of the 1994 genocide, when the world abandoned the ethnic Tutsi minority to its fate, leaving his RPF guerrilla movement alone to end the mass murder against a better equipped foe.

“The way to get Kagame to do things is not by publicly ridiculing him ... If the US wanted to protect Goma, they should not have withdrawn the money but asked Kagame to rein this guy in. Kagame is the only one in this region who can make this happen. In Congo, Kagame is the game changer, not Kabila,” says a senior official from the region.

“They [the rebels] could over-run Goma for breakfast tomorrow morning. The only restraining force I see is Rwanda; the UN’s not going to do anything.”

Polemics are par for the course in a region scarred by virulent hatreds.

Mr Kagame is viewed either as a ruthless tyrant or visionary leader, rarely both. He has striven to transform Rwanda into a regional economic success story with the same relentless determination with which he once ran his guerrilla army.
But he has also been given extraordinary licence to repress dissent. The prosperity of elites in Kigali derives partly from the plunder of minerals from the DRC during Rwanda’s serial invasions of its neighbour.

According to UN reports, his army killed tens of thousands of Rwandans and Congolese as he secured his country’s borders in the face of continuing threats to surviving Tutsis. Political opponents and journalists still end up in exile, jail or, in some cases, a grave.

Yet he can count on support from luminaries: the likes of former UK prime minister Tony Blair and Howard Schultz, founder of Starbucks. Members of this unofficial fan club have tended to overlook the more troubling aspects of his rule or support the notion that he has done what is necessary to lay the foundations for peace and development.

“Under the leadership of President Paul Kagame, Rwanda, in many respects, leads Africa today,” Mr Blair said recently.

“Lifting 1m people out of poverty over the past five years is an amazing feat by any global standard.”

In an interview with the FT last year Mr Kagame was characteristically unapologetic. “I have no regrets about being who I am, and being what I am in my country for my people. No regrets at all,” he said.

In the face of the latest accusations, Louise Mushikiwabo, foreign minister has been equally defiant, yesterday saying donors made “hasty decisions based on flimsy evidence”.

“Rwanda has had a very tricky history with Congo. We have had war with Congo and we have had peace. But it would be a terrible mistake to judge the present on the basis of the past,” she told the FT.

Still, given Rwanda’s history of meddling across its border it may be much harder this time for Mr Kagame to persuade the world of his case.

PRESS RELEASE

11 July 2012

The UN Security Council must call on the Rwandan government to stop providing support for the M23 armed group in DR Congo’s North Kivu province, Amnesty International said as the UN redeployed peacekeepers to the main eastern city of Goma.

The M23 have driven back the Congolese government army in a determined offensive over the last few days. The UN and authorities in eastern DR Congo say Rwanda has backed the non-state armed group, M23, a claim denied by Kigali.

“While redeploying UN troops to Goma to protect civilians is a positive step, the situation in the North Kivu is so tense that it has the potential to turn into a regional conflict if the international community does not take urgent measures,” said Aster van Kregten, Amnesty International’s Deputy Director for Africa.

Amnesty International has received reports from numerous sources that M23 is using heavy artillery and continue to forcibly recruit civilians. According to credible sources, two civilians were killed by the M23 in Bunagana on Sunday when they refused to join the group, while two other civilians were killed during the fighting.
Although Rwanda appears to have breached a UN arms embargo, the UN Security Council has done nothing to put pressure on the country to end its support for the M23, which has recently been strengthened with heavy artillery and new recruits.”

“The Council must condemn the reported breach of the UN arms embargo by Rwanda and take concrete measures to prevent any further violations of human rights or international humanitarian law,” said van Kregten.
A UN report last month provided substantial evidence that senior Rwandan officials have backed the M23 armed group, led by Bosco Ntaganda, a former General in the Congolese army who is under an International Criminal Court arrest warrant.

The armed group named themselves the M23 after a failed peace agreement signed on 23 March 2009. The M23 defected from the Congolese army in April this year amid pressure on the government to arrest General Ntaganda.
The United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), has a robust mandate which allows the use of “all necessary means, including deadly force” to protect civilians under imminent threat of physical violence.

Despite this, MONUSCO has been unable to adequately protect civilians and help restore calm to the volatile North Kivu region and has instead focussed on providing technical support to the poorly trained Congolese army.

Although MONUSCO has a presence in the region, the M23 captured the strategic towns of Rutshuru and Kiwanja over the weekend without facing any opposition from the UN forces.

“The recent violence in North Kivu has already led to human rights abuses against civilians and any escalation in the violence will place civilians at further risk,” said van Kregten.

“The future of the eastern Congolese people now mainly lies in the hands of the UN Security Council. It’s crucial that MONUSCO now uses its mandate to effectively protect civilians.”

While the M23 is threatening to attack Goma, recent reports indicate that the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) - whose leaders are believed to have taken part in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda - and other armed groups such as the Mai Mai are also in Rutshuru territory, increasing the fear of violence against civilians.

DRC: History must not repeat itself as violence flares in North Kivu

The Congolese government must immediately take measures to protect civilians, including thousands of displaced people, following the fall of a town in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) by members of the M23 armed group, Amnesty International has said.
The call came after M23 soldiers reportedly took control of Bunagana in Rutshuru territory, a strategic town close to the border with Uganda, following heavy fighting with Congolese army (FARDC) troops over several days.

A peacekeeper from the Indian contingent of the UN mission in the DRC (MONUSCO) died after being hit by artillery shell shrapnel during the fighting 50km north of Goma, the provincial capital of North Kivu province, UN officials reported.

About 600 FARDC soldiers are said to have fled to Uganda after they were overwhelmed by the soldiers from M23, which is led by Sultani Makenga and Bosco Ntaganda, and composed of deserters from the Congolese army, who mostly belonged to the National Congress for the Defence of the People (CNDP) which integrated into the FARDC in 2009.
Amnesty said the fact FARDC soldiers fled to Uganda is a matter of concern and again weakened the Congolese army’s ability to protect efficiently the civilian population from an armed group whose capacity seems to have strengthened.

“There is a grim feeling that history is repeating itself with ex-CNDP members managing to control several strategic axes as they did in 2008,” said Paule Rigaud, the deputy program director for Africa at Amnesty International.

“Five years ago, a similar situation led to serious atrocities, among them the Kiwanja massacre, during which at least 150 civilians were killed by the CNDP.”

“Amnesty International is deeply concerned that more people are now being displaced by the fighting, adding to those who have been forced to flee over the past months, and that there is an increasing risk civilians may be caught in the crossfire.”

There is growing concern over the increased strength of the M23, which is reportedly planning to retake key towns, including in Masisi territory - the former stronghold of the CNDP.
“It is quite worrying that about 600 Congolese soldiers fled to Uganda while the M23 was attacking the area.”
“The Congolese government, through its security forces, should immediately take measures to ensure the protection of civilians. The UN through MONUSCO should continue to increase its presence in areas
under threat and implement its protection mechanisms to prevent violence against the civilian population”, Rigaud said.

Background:


The CNDP controlled most of the Masisi and Rutshuru territories by the end of 2008 and threatened to attack Goma.
The armed group was then integrated into the FARDC following a peace agreement signed on 23 March 2009 with the Congolese Government.

Defections from the FARDC began in April 2012. Deserters launched military operations against the Congolese army shortly afterwards.

COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE

RDC. Les nouvelles violences dans le Nord-Kivu font craindre que l’histoire ne se répète

Il faut que le gouvernement de la République démocratique du Congo (RDC) prenne immédiatement des mesures pour protéger les civils - parmi lesquels se trouvent des milliers de personnes déplacées - alors qu’une ville du pays vient de tomber aux mains de membres du groupe armé M23, a déclaré Amnesty International.



Cet appel intervient en réaction aux informations selon lesquelles dans le territoire de Rutshuru des soldats du M23 auraient pris le contrôle de Bunagana, ville stratégique située près de la frontière avec l’Ouganda, à la suite de violents combats de plusieurs jours avec les soldats de l’armée congolaise (FARDC).

Les responsables de l’ONU ont indiqué qu’un membre du contingent indien de la Mission de l'Organisation des Nations unies pour la stabilisation en République démocratique du Congo (MONUSCO) était mort après avoir été touché par un tir d’artillerie lors de combats à 50 km au nord de Goma, la capitale de la province du Nord-Kivu.

Selon certaines informations, environ 600 soldats des FARDC auraient fui en Ouganda après avoir été encerclés par des soldats du M23, groupe dirigé par Sultani Makenga et Bosco Ntaganda et composé de déserteurs de l’armée congolaise issus principalement du Congrès national pour la défense du peuple (CNDP) intégré aux FARDC en 2009.

Amnesty International a déclaré que le fait que des soldats des FARDC aient fui en Ouganda était préoccupant et réduisait encore la capacité de l’armée congolaise à protéger efficacement la population civile contre un groupe armé dont la puissance semble s’être renforcée.

« On a le sentiment désagréable que l’histoire se répète, avec des ex-CNDP qui parviennent à prendre le contrôle de plusieurs axes stratégiques comme ils l’avaient fait en 2008 », a déclaré Paule Rigaud, directrice adjointe d’Amnesty International pour l’Afrique.



« Il y a cinq ans, une situation similaire avait donné lieu à des atrocités, dont le massacre de Kiwanja au cours duquel au moins 150 civils avaient été tué par le CNDP. »



« Amnesty International est très préoccupée par le fait que ces combats entraînent de nouveaux déplacements de personnes qui viennent s’ajouter à celles déjà nombreuses qui ont fui les affrontements des derniers mois ; il y a un risque accru que les civils se retrouvent pris entre deux feux. »

L’inquiétude grandit face à la montée en puissance du M23, qui s’apprêterait selon certaines informations à prendre des villes importantes, en particulier dans le territoire de Masisi, ancien fief du CNDP.
« Il est extrêmement préoccupant que 600 soldats congolais aient fui vers l’Ouganda au moment où le M23 attaquait la région. »

« Le gouvernement congolais, par le biais de ses forces de sécurité, doit immédiatement prendre des mesures pour protéger les civils, a déclaré Paule Rigaud. Les Nations unies, par l’intermédiaire de la MONUSCO, doivent quant à elles continuer d’accroître leur présence dans cette zone menacée et mettre en œuvre leurs mécanismes de protection pour empêcher des actes de violence contre la population civile. »

Complément d’information

Fin 2008, le CNDP contrôlait la plupart des territoires de Masisi et Rutshuru et menaçait d’attaquer Goma.

Ce groupe armé a été intégré dans les Forces armées de la République démocratiques du Congo (FARDC) à l’issue d’un accord de paix signé le 23 mars 2009 avec le gouvernement congolais.



Les défections au sein des FARDC ont commencé en avril 2012. Les déserteurs ont lancé des opérations armées contre l’armée congolaise peu après cela.

 All Rwandans know the price of the RPF dictatorship supported bu US and UK govenments. There is always a heavy price paid by the people and nation, later than sooner.

US support Kagame's assassinations as a way to provide security and safety for the RPF regime.

He's a professional Liar AND

"They are democratic West’s undemocratic allies. They may rise to power through bloody West-backed coups and rule by terror and torture. Their troops may receive training or advice from the West and their agencies.


 
The West military aid and weapons sales often strengthen their armies and guarantee their hold on power. Unwavering “anti-communism” and a willingness to provide unhampered access for the West business interests to exploit their countries’ natural resources and cheap labor are the excuses for their repression, and the primary reason the West governments support them."

 

They usually grow rich, while their countries’ economies deteriorate and the majority of their people live in poverty. US tax dollars and US-backed loans have made billionaires of some, while others are international drug dealers who also collect CIA paychecks. Rarely are they called to account for their crimes. And rarely still, is the US government held responsible for supporting and protecting some of the worst human rights violators in the world.







 
No more degrees to the heavyweight criminal

If we truly want peace in this world, we need to make better choices closer to home. I recently have heard that many of western Universities committees won’t see anymore their degrees getting devalued because of non sense and even stupid publicity in granting honorary degrees to unpopular leaders across the world and to heavyweight criminals and or dictators such like Paul Kagame only because they happen to be self-elected presidents.


 
On the other hand, I think I am certainly correct when I say or repeat that when you give, you get, and that goes both ways. If you give well, you get well; and if you give poorly, you can expect a poor return. Come on! So are the consequences of those unpredictable distributions of honorary degrees. In my point of view, these universities should be aware too about their tight relationship with the African Paul Pot, the Hitler admirer Paul Kagame. Who doesn’t know Paul Kagame? Is this a good thing to destroy your own university because of one bloody dictator only because he’s backed by US and UK governments?

 
You be the judge!

 
Paul Kagame is the worse dictator the world has ever hosted. He is responsible for repeated and egregious crimes against humanity.

 
1. He is responsible for perpetrated massacres of perhaps thousands of pro-democracy students and teachers (about 21,000) at Kibeho in the early 1995.

 
2. The widespread repression, torture, and murder, imprisonment of hundreds of thousands of Hutus were mass-murdered by the bloody RPF government led by him.

 
3. His DMI, MP and other unknown intelligence organizations across Rwanda are a foresight of what the world will face as the humiliation of the human kind.

 
4. At the same time, US government delivers military training to RPF criminals and US universities are not anxious to grant Paul Kagame various honorary degrees despite the sufferings of Rwandan and Congolese people due to the most-wanted criminal Paul Kagame’s crimes. Personally, I do think there are very few people, and it’s very important to emphasize this, that merit being awarded honorary degrees, and the likes of Paul Kagame should certainly not be among them.

 
5. He is responsible for perpetrated massacres of hundred of thousand Rwanda refugees in the Democratic of the Congo: 3,500,000 Rwandans and more than 4,000,000 Congolese people butchered by him and his bloody army APR/ADF genocidaire. Thousands of returnees were butchered in those prepared for them death camps and in the countryside according to the well planed killing strategy.

  
For many experts, the key to the recent RPF crimes in Rwanda and in the Republic of the Congo lies in the Universities staffs, senate and students’ push to extend their influence in the Western government’s foreign policies to merely stop this phenomenon which negatively affect their future.

 
Listen to what Guga Rockall says:

 
“ If universities want to avoid their honorary degrees being devalued to a level comparable with peerages and similar, they should be limited to people who have made some outstanding contribution in a particular field or area, and which has resulted in some form of benefit to the country or the world”.

 
Another respected man Mr. Roy, one of the serious observers in this matter adds the following:

 
“Giving away degrees by universities just for a bit of free publicity devalues the achievements of those who have had to spend years working for them…”

 
For a longtime, we have been told that nominees are selected and vetted about the type of people honored. The result is very critical when for free publicity which does not care about their future, some of western universities continue to confer the honoris causa degrees upon the Rwandan Top Nazi despite tie fact that he is on top of the target list f bloody dictators. So, after analyzing the situation, I came to the conclusion that the degree that He receives is in all a degree of anger at roll of dishonor for the University itself, the UK citizens who have studied or worked in those universities and of course for dishonor and a shame for the abandoned Rwandans.

 
Recommendations:

 
  1. · Stopping the award of degrees to people who are believed to be criminals and Nazis suck like Paul Kagame
  2. No more red carpet to the world heavy-weight criminal and Rwanda Top Nazi
  3. Banning serving politicians from receiving awards.
  4. Giving serious consideration to whether degrees should be awarded to nominees from countries with poor or without human rights records
  5. Greater scrutiny at the nomination stage between the degree committee and the university senate which rubber stamps awards.
  6. Previous degrees awarded to Paul Kagame should be withdrawn for the same reasons.

 The process to allow honorary degrees to be removed may start and encouraged and it is a good thing.

 
We finally do hope Paul Kagame will be the first world heavyweight criminal to be deprived of his award for becoming the Rwanda Top Nazi, a genocidaire, a war criminal, an anti-democratic tyrant and no longer be able to flaunt his degrees. Otherwise, it’s a big shame to all of us. Shame, indeed. Shame on all of us for tolerating a terrorist state.

 

 


 



 It’s a big shame to all of us. Shame, indeed. Shame on all of us for having Universities distributing academic medals to such a serial killer, a mass-slaughter for more than 8 millions of Congolese and Rwandan people, most of them Hutus.

[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]







Marianne 2
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 »…

Dr Rudasingwa Theogene, former Kagame's adviser

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.

Rwanda :



Les autorités engageaient de plus en plus souvent des poursuites contre des détracteurs des politiques gouvernementales. Le nombre de détentions illégales a augmenté. Bien que des projets de réforme législative aient été évoqués, la liberté d’expression restait soumise à des restrictions. Des membres de l’opposition politique et des journalistes arrêtés dans le contexte des élections de 2010 ont été injustement condamnés pour des motifs à caractère politique.

Contexte

En janvier, le bilan du Rwanda en matière de droits humains a été examiné dans le cadre de l’Examen périodique universel des Nations unies. Le gouvernement a accepté la majorité des recommandations formulées, y compris celles demandant une modification des lois existantes dans le but de protéger la liberté d’expression. Il a en revanche rejeté les recommandations concernant l’ouverture d’enquêtes sur les cas d’arrestation et de détention arbitraire, y compris les possibles disparitions forcées, alléguant que les arrestations illégales avaient été exceptionnelles et que les fonctionnaires responsables avaient été amenés à rendre compte de leurs actes.
Les problèmes de sécurité se sont aggravés en 2011, à la suite notamment d’attaques à la grenade survenues en 2010, de divisions au sein du Front patriotique rwandais (FPR, au pouvoir) et du mécontentement des sympathisants de Laurent Nkunda, ancien dirigeant du Congrès national pour la défense du peuple (CNDP).

Le gouvernement a coorganisé à Kigali, la capitale, une réunion visant à inciter d’autres pays d’Afrique à suivre l’exemple du Rwanda et à abolir la peine de mort.

Les donateurs continuaient de soutenir le gouvernement rwandais, au nom de son développement économique. En privé, certains se disaient toutefois inquiets des violations des droits humains perpétrées dans le pays.

Liberté d’expression

Des modifications de la législation étaient en suspens, mais des restrictions sévères pesaient toujours sur la liberté d’expression. Un nombre croissant de personnes ont été condamnées pour des actes considérés comme des menaces à la sûreté nationale, tels que la critique à l’égard des politiques gouvernementales.

Lois réprimant l’« idéologie du génocide » et le « sectarisme »

Bien qu’il ait promis de réviser la loi sur l’« idéologie du génocide », le gouvernement a continué de recourir à des dispositions législatives générales et rédigées en termes vagues qui réprimaient l’« idéologie du génocide » et le « sectarisme » (plus connu sous le terme de « divisionnisme »). Ces textes interdisent les discours de haine mais érigent aussi en infraction pénale toute critique du gouvernement. L’année s’est achevée sans que les autorités aient examiné un quelconque projet de modification de la loi réprimant l’« idéologie du génocide ». Le gouvernement s’était pourtant engagé, pour la première fois en avril 2010, à procéder à la révision des dispositions existantes.

  • Bernard Ntaganda, président du Parti social idéal (PS-Imberakuri), a été condamné à quatre ans d’emprisonnement en février. Il a été reconnu coupable de « divisionnisme » – pour des discours publics prononcés à l’approche des élections de 2010, dans lesquels il dénonçait les politiques gouvernementales –, d’atteinte à la sûreté de l’État et de tentative d’organisation d’une « manifestation non autorisée ». Les poursuites engagées contre Bernard Ntaganda pour atteinte à la sûreté de l’État et « divisionnisme » s’appuyaient uniquement sur ses discours critiquant certaines actions du gouvernement.
  • Le procès de Victoire Ingabire, présidente des Forces démocratiques unifiées (FDU-Inkingi), s’est ouvert en septembre. Elle était inculpée d’actes de terrorisme, de formation d’un groupe armé, d’« idéologie du génocide », de « sectarisme » et de propagation délibérée de rumeurs dans le but de monter l’opinion publique contre le pouvoir en place. Les accusations relatives à l’« idéologie du génocide » se fondaient notamment sur le fait qu’elle avait publiquement demandé l’ouverture de poursuites pénales pour les crimes de guerre commis par le FPR (voir Justice). Les violations des normes en matière d’équité des procès – notamment le fait que l’accusation ait été autorisée à présenter des éléments de preuve antérieurs aux lois au titre desquelles Victoire Ingabire était inculpée – soulevaient des inquiétudes.

    Journalistes
Plusieurs lois visant à accroître la liberté des médias étaient en instance devant le Parlement à la fin de l’année. Les organisations de défense des droits humains espéraient que les projets de modification de la loi relative aux médias et de la loi sur le Haut Conseil des médias, ainsi que le projet de loi sur l’accès à l’information, permettraient de diminuer l’emprise de l’État sur les médias. La diffamation devait toutefois demeurer une infraction pénale. Au cours des années précédentes, les autorités avaient recouru à la loi contre la diffamation pour réduire au silence des journalistes et fermer des médias.

Des organes de presse privés qui avaient été fermés en 2010 n’avaient toujours pas repris leurs activités ; leurs rédacteurs en chef, de même que d’autres journalistes indépendants, vivaient toujours en exil.


Agnès Nkusi Uwimana, rédactrice en chef du journal populaire indépendant de langue kinyarwanda Umurabyo, et sa rédactrice en chef adjointe, Saidati Mukakibibi, ont été condamnées le 5 février respectivement à 17 et sept ans d’emprisonnement pour des articles d’opinion publiés en 2010 durant la période préélectorale. Agnès Nkusi Uwimana a été déclarée coupable de menace à la sûreté de l’État, d’« idéologie du génocide », de « divisionnisme » et de diffamation, et Saidati Mukakibibi de menace à la sûreté de l’État. L’examen de leur appel a été reporté à 2012.
  • Malgré les lacunes de l’enquête initiale, le ministère public n’a pas rouvert d’information sur l’assassinat, en juin 2010, du journaliste Jean-Léonard Rugambage. En septembre, l’un des deux individus reconnus coupables du meurtre a été acquitté en appel et l’autre a vu sa peine de réclusion à perpétuité commuée en 10 années d’emprisonnement.

    Défenseurs des droits humains
Comme les années précédentes, des défenseurs des droits humains ont été victimes de manœuvres d’intimidation et de harcèlement – arrestations, menaces, tracasseries administratives et accusations d’abus d’ordre financier.

Joseph Sanane et Epimack Kwokwo, président et secrétaire exécutif par intérim de la Ligue des droits de la personne dans la région des Grands Lacs (LDGL), ont été arrêtés le 19 août. Ils étaient accusés d’avoir aidé le secrétaire exécutif de l’organisation, Pascal Nyilibakwe, à quitter le Rwanda en 2010. Ce dernier avait reçu des menaces à maintes reprises. Epimack Kwokwo a été libéré après plusieurs heures de détention et Joseph Sanane le lendemain de son arrestation.
Liberté d’association

Des responsables de l’opposition politique ont été condamnés pour tentative d’organisation de manifestations « non autorisées » ou de participation à celles-ci. De simples membres de partis d’opposition ont également été interpellés. Les autorités rwandaises ont menacé et intimidé des responsables politiques de l’opposition présents dans des pays voisins, en Afrique du Sud et dans des États européens.

  • La police britannique a informé en mai deux militants rwandais de l’opposition de menaces imminentes pesant sur leur vie et émanant du gouvernement rwandais.
Prisonniers d’opinion

L’ancien ministre Charles Ntakirutinka demeurait incarcéré à la prison centrale de Kigali, où il purgeait une peine de dix années d’emprisonnement. À l’issue d’un procès inique, il avait été reconnu coupable d’incitation à la désobéissance civile et d’association de malfaiteurs.

Justice

Poursuivant ses efforts pour obtenir le transfert ou l’extradition des personnes soupçonnées de génocide, le gouvernement a modifié la législation de façon à ce que les individus déclarés coupables ne soient pas condamnés à la peine de réclusion criminelle à perpétuité. Introduite récemment dans la législation, cette peine assortie de modalités spéciales peut constituer pour les détenus un maintien prolongé à l’isolement quand leurs proches ne peuvent ou ne souhaitent pas leur rendre visite. Les prisonniers concernés n’ont le droit de communiquer avec un avocat qu’en présence d’un gardien, ce qui constitue une atteinte aux droits de la défense durant la procédure d’appel. Cette nouvelle peine n’était pas mise en application en raison de l’absence de cellules individuelles.

Aucune ONG indépendante n’a été autorisée à accéder aux établissements pénitentiaires pour surveiller les conditions carcérales ou interroger des détenus en privé, malgré les demandes formulées en ce sens.

Après plusieurs reports, les procès pour génocide devant les tribunaux gacaca – qui ne respectaient pas les normes internationales en matière d’équité des procès – devaient s’achever à la fin de 2011. Quelques demandes de révision étaient encore en attente à la fin de l’année. Aucun projet de loi établissant les procédures d’enquête et de poursuite devant les juridictions ordinaires pour les futures accusations de participation au génocide de 1994 n’avait encore été présenté au Parlement.

Détentions illégales et disparitions forcées

De très nombreux jeunes gens arrêtés en 2010 et 2011 ont été détenus dans des centres militaires, notamment au camp Kami, ainsi que dans des centres illégaux, dont ceux de « Chez Gacinya » et de Gikondo, souvent durant plusieurs mois. Ils ont été privés de soins médicaux, n’ont pas été autorisés à contacter un avocat et n’ont pas pu contester devant les tribunaux les décisions les concernant. La police n’a pas donné d’informations aux proches de certains d’entre eux qui s’étaient officiellement enquis de leur sort. Certains détenus ont été transférés vers des prisons ordinaires après avoir été inculpés de menace à la sûreté de l’État. D’autres ont été remis en liberté à la condition qu’ils gardent le silence.

Les autorités n’ont pas fourni d’informations sur la disparition forcée de Robert Ndengeye Urayeneza. On pense que cet homme, vu pour la dernière fois en mars 2010, est détenu par l’armée rwandaise.

Justice internationale


Tribunal pénal international pour le Rwanda

Le Tribunal pénal international pour le Rwanda (TPIR) a rendu de nombreux jugements au cours de l’année. Neuf accusés demeuraient toutefois en fuite. Le mandat du TPIR devait s’achever en 2012.

En décembre, la Chambre d’appel du TPIR a confirmé le renvoi au Rwanda de l’affaire Jean Uwinkindi. Dans sa décision, elle mentionnait l’intention exprimée par le Rwanda d’adopter une loi autorisant des juges étrangers à siéger dans les affaires transférées. Il s’agirait du premier accusé dans une affaire de génocide à être renvoyé ou extradé vers le Rwanda pour y être jugé.

Compétence universelle

Des personnes soupçonnées de participation au génocide ont été poursuivies en justice en Allemagne, en Espagne et en Finlande. L’Afrique du Sud ne s’était pas encore prononcée sur la demande d’extradition déposée par la France et l’Espagne à l’encontre de Kayumba Nyamwasa, un Rwandais soupçonné de crimes contre l’humanité au Rwanda qui a obtenu l’asile en Afrique du Sud en 2010. La demande d’extradition présentée par le Rwanda a été rejetée par les autorités sud-africaines.

  • Dans un arrêt rendu en octobre, la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme a considéré que Sylvère Ahorugeze pouvait être extradé par la Suède vers le Rwanda. Cet homme avait été remis en liberté par les autorités de Stockholm en raison de la durée de sa détention provisoire. L’incapacité à mettre en place de véritables garanties pour que Sylvère Ahorugeze soit effectivement jugé constituait un déni de justice pour les victimes du génocide rwandais.
  • La Norvège s’est prononcée en faveur de l’extradition de Charles Bandora. Un appel était en cours.
Impunité pour les crimes de guerre et les crimes contre l’humanité

Aucune investigation et aucune poursuite n’ont été engagées concernant les crimes de guerre et les crimes contre l’humanité qui auraient été commis par l’Armée patriotique rwandaise en 1994 au Rwanda, ni concernant les violations flagrantes des droits humains perpétrées par les forces armées rwandaises en République démocratique du Congo qui ont été recensées dans le rapport du projet Mapping établi par les Nations unies.
Réfugiés et demandeurs d’asile

Le Haut-Commissariat des Nations unies pour les réfugiés (HCR) a recommandé l’invocation au 31 décembre 2011 de la clause de cessation pour les réfugiés rwandais, ce qui signifie que ces derniers pourraient perdre leur statut. Dans un certain nombre de pays, les réfugiés rwandais n’avaient pas pu à la fin de l’année être entendus individuellement afin de faire valoir d’éventuels motifs personnels expliquant qu’ils continuent à craindre d’être persécutés. La clause devait être effective au 1er juillet 2012.

This is an Exciting Collaborative Project launched by The AS International Founder Jean-Christophe Nizeyimana, Economist and Human Rights Activist. Join US and Be the First to know about the Mastermind of the Rwandan Genocide Still At large and enjoing Impunity.

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.

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.
