A Candle For Remembering
May this memorial candle lights up the historical past of our beloved Country: Rwanda, We love U so much. If Tears could build a stairway. And memories were a lane. I would walk right up to heaven. To bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken. No time to say goodbye. You were gone before I knew it And. Only Paul Kagame knows why. My heart still aches with sadness. And secret tears still flow. What It meant to lose you. No one will ever know.
Why did Kagame this to me?
Can't forget. He murdered my mother. What should be my reaction? FYI: the number of orphans in Rwanda has skyrocketed since the 1990's Kagame's invasion. Much higher numbers of orphans had and have no other option but joining FDLR fighters who are identified as children that have Lost their Parents in Kagame's Wars inside and outside of Rwanda.If someone killed your child/spouse/parent(s) would you seek justice or revenge? Deep insight: What would you do to the person who snuffed the life of someone I love beyond reason? Forgiving would bring me no solace. If you take what really matters to me, I will show you what really matters. NITUTIRWANAHO TUZASHIRA. IGIHE KIRAGEZE.If democracy is to sell one's motherland(Africa), for some zionits support, then I prefer the person who is ready to give all his live for his motherland. Viva President Putin!!!
RPF committed the unspeakable
The perverted RPF committed the UNSPEAKABLE.Two orphans, both against the Nazi world. Point is the fact that their parents' murder Kagame & his RPF held no shock in the Western world. Up to now, the Rwandan Hitler Kagame and his death squads still enjoy impunity inside and outside of Rwanda. What goes through someone's mind as they know RPF murdered their parents? A delayed punishment is actually an encouragement to crime, In Praise of the ongoing Bloodshed in Rwanda. “I always think I am a pro-peace person but if someone harmed someone near and dear to me, I don't think I could be so peaceful. I would like to believe that to seek justice could save millions of people living the African Great Lakes Region - I would devote myself to bringing the 'perp' along to a non-happy ending but would that be enough? You'd have to be in the situation I suppose before you could actually know how you would feel or what you would do”. Jean-Christophe Nizeyimana, Libre Penseur
Hutu Children & their Mums
Look at them ! How they are scared to death. Many Rwandan Hutu and Tutsi, Foreign human rights advocates, jounalists and and lawyers are now on Death Row Waiting to be murdered by Kagame and his RPF death squads. Be the last to know.
Almighty God :Justice for US
Hutu children's daily bread: Intimidation, Slavery, Sex abuses led by RPF criminals and Kagame, DMI: Every single day, there are more assassinations, imprisonment, brainwashing & disappearances. Do they have any chance to end this awful life?
Killing Hutus on daily basis
RPF targeted killings, very often in public areas. Killing Hutus on daily basis by Kagame's murderers and the RPF infamous death squads known as the "UNKNOWN WRONGDOERS"
RPF Trade Mark: Akandoya
Rape, torture and assassination and unslaving of hutu women. Genderside: Rape has always been used by kagame's RPF as a Weapon of War, the killings of Hutu women with the help of Local Defense Forces, DMI and the RPF military

[Since 1994, the world witnesses the horrifying Tutsi minority (14%) ethnic domination, the Tutsi minority ethnic rule with an iron hand, 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, and the brutal suppression of the rights of the majority of the Rwandan people (85% are Hutus)and mass arrests of Hutus by the RPF criminal organization =>AS International]
Toronto
-
It is simply too embarrassing for Paul Kagame to visit the West anymore,
as eager as the Rwandan president is to pose as a respected African
statesman. His visit to Toronto last month was stirring evidence of
this.
On September 28, the president slipped into Toronto the Good
to meet with members of the Rwandan diaspora and celebrate ‘Rwanda
Day’. The Canadian government had gone to great lengths to avoid
commenting on the private visit, except to say that if the leader did
set foot in the country, the RCMP and local police would be obliged to
provide security, since as head of state he qualified as an internationally protected person.
But it is hard to shield a man whose reputation precedes him.
By mid
morning on the Saturday in question, a few hundred Rwandan and Congolese
protesters were staking out the Sheraton Hotel on Queen Street, right
across from Nathan Philips Square where they suspected Kagame and his
delegation were staying. The protesters called for the president’s
arrest on war crimes charges, unleashing recordings of sirens and
shouting epithets with megaphones that the hotel was harboring a mass
killer inside, as red-faced staff and patrons looked on in disbelief.
Meanwhile, police officers – a few wearing goofy navy blue shorts and
others in trademark cargo pants -- escorted protesters out of the
hotel’s car park and onto the street.
Demonstrators held placards sprayed in paint the colour of blood, their posters displaying orphans, corpses and three progressive politicians languishing in Kigali jails: Victoire Ingabire, a Hutu mother and leader of the United Democratic Forces, Deo Mushayidi, a Tutsi opposition leader slapped with a life sentence, and Bernard Ntaganda, leader of the opposition PS Imberakuri, jailed on murky charges of ‘divisionism’. A good number of protesters were victims of lethal military campaigns carried out by Kagame’s Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA) since the early 1990s.

A good number of protesters were victims of lethal military campaigns carried out by Kagame’s Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA) since the early 1990s.
One man and his family narrowly survived the Kibeho
massacre in April 1995 when Rwandan soldiers shot into crowds at a
displacement camp. Shortly after returning to his native village in
Kigali rural, his wife and baby boy were slaughtered by Kagame’s troops,
he said, and dumped in their outhouse. Another man of mixed Tutsi and
Hutu ethnicity lost his parents and siblings in neighboring Democratic
Republic of Congo after being hunted by RPA soldiers across a territory
the size of Western Europe. Another man, small in stature, was orphaned
at the age of six after losing his family during the Congo chase in
1996-1997. Left to fend for himself in the dense equatorial jungle, he
ate whatever he could get his hands on and continued to run way from the
killers until taken in by a local Congolese family.
Their stories spilled out fast and furiously, amid the sirens that
blared in a normally restrained city known for its Victorian mores.
The demonstration, while vitriolic, could have been worse; relatively
few protesters actually showed up compared to the thousands that
organizers had hoped for. That’s because Kagame shrewdly kept the venue
under wraps all day. On its website, the Rwandan embassy in Ottawa urged
supporters to come to Toronto to celebrate Rwanda’s economic and social
progress since the genocide, but failed to disclose the location of the
meeting. In the end, scores of finely dressed and well coiffed Rwandans
were flown in and put up at the posh Westin Harbour Castle along the
shores of Lake Ontario while other Rwandan Canadians wishing to see
their leader in person were privately contacted and given transport to
the event.
By mid afternoon, social media had leaked information that the president
would be speaking at an arena at Downsview Park in a barren
neighborhood of northwestern Toronto where RCMP and Toronto police
maintained a heavy presence. Hardcore critics quickly converged on the
park, their faux blood dripping banners reading: ‘Kagame Kills Babies’
and ‘Kagame a murderer in the DRC.’ When the presidential car finally
arrived, the protesters chanted and threw eggs and stones, managing to
crack a window as the vehicle veered past the security barricade.
At the
same time a group of naked Quebecois feminists appeared out of nowhere
like fiery leprechauns, their white breasts painted with ‘Kagame Guilty
of Rape’ and ‘Rapist Go Fuck Yourself’ – a reference to a militia called
M23 that Rwanda has supported in the Congo whose members have raped,
killed and displaced thousands of civilians.
The entire scene was humiliating, especially for a head of state once
courted by western governments, diplomats and human rights activists. In
Toronto, Kagame appeared to be in survival mode.
Not that he doesn’t maintain a coterie of loyal fans: among them former
US President Bill Clinton, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, Bono,
Howard Buffet, Evangelical Pastor Rick Warren and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach.
And that’s because Kagame’s achievements, while far too historicized,
remain intact. He is rightly credited with routing Hutu extremists
responsible for a three-month killing spree whose primary targets were
the country’s minority Tutsi.
The Rwandan president has cleverly gambled on the West believing a
binary narrative of good versus evil in Rwanda. Others in the West who
know better – including officials in Washington and London -- chose a
cynical calculus after the genocide: that despite his dubious past,
Kagame was the best guarantor of stability in a sea of ethnic extremism.
Except the calculus appears to have been dangerously wrong. How do we
know? Because a growing number of Hutus and RPA defectors are now
seeking to expose a fuller, if not grimmer account of what really
happened in Rwanda before and after Kagame's ascent to power.
What has emerged is an historical portrait of an army under Kagame’s
direction that engaged in mass killing of unarmed Hutu civilians,
before, during and after the genocide.
Victims and critics tell of his army displacing upwards of a million
people in northern Rwanda before the genocide, of carrying out a
campaign to bring war to the population, firing on displacement camps
and assassinating Hutu political opponents.
They also say that as soon as the genocide was unleashed in April 1994,
RPA death squads began highly organized ‘sweeping’ operations in the
northern and eastern prefectures of Byumba and Kibungo, hunting down
Hutu men, women and children in their homes, in swamps and on
plantations, killing them on the spot or calling them to meetings and
slaughtering them there. Two of Kagame’s senior officers, now generals
that have served as UN peacekeepers in high profile missions in Africa,
allegedly commanded these gruesome operations, the objective of which
was to exterminate as many Hutus as possible, according to ex RPA
soldiers.
In 1994, the United Nations conducted a partial investigation of these
war crimes, under a team led by a US consultant named Robert Gersony.
A UN cable released anonymously gives an account of Gersony’s findings: “In
a two-hour briefing, Gersony put forward evidence of what he described
as calculated, pre-planned, systematic atrocities and genocide against
Hutus by the RPA whose methodology and scale, he concluded, (30,000
massacres) could only have been part of a plan implemented as a policy
from the highest echelons of the government. In his view, these were not
individual cases of revenge and summary trials but a pre-planned,
systematic genocide against the Hutus. Gersony staked his 25-year
reputation on his conclusions which he recognized were diametrically
opposite to the assumptions made, so far, by the UN and the
international community.”
 |
| Kagame's future |
The United Nations chose to bury Gersony’s explosive report in an effort
to provide political cover for Kagame and his newly installed
government.
Estimates of those killed by the RPA during the genocide and thereafter
in areas such as Gitarama, Butare, Kibuye, Gikongoro, Cyangugu, Goma and
Ruhengeri are dramatically higher. Officers have spoken of Hutu male
recruits being rounded up, put into trucks and driven at night to
various killing grounds near the Gabiro Training barracks and elsewhere
in Akagera National Park, where they were dumped and burned, their ashes
mixed with soil or spread across the park’s lakes.
Estimates of hundred of thousands of Hutus killed by Kagame’s army in
this manner for years do not come from Hutus themselves, but from former
officers and soldiers of his own Tutsi-led army who could no longer
stomach the atrocities committed by their regime.
One senior officer
that was close to the Gabiro operations said he believed the crimes
amounted to genocide.
“This is going to come back. This is going to be generational,” the officer said with trepidation.
But all these crimes are history now, as Kagame scrambles to maintain
his flagging legitimacy abroad and his grip on power at home and in
eastern Congo, where his army first invaded in 1996, and militias he's
supported have stoked war ever since.
In 2003, Rwanda passed a controversial law that condemns individuals for
denying or grossly minimizing genocide, or attempting to justify
genocide or destroy evidence related to it. Individuals found guilty are
liable to a minimum of 10 years and a maximum of 20 in prison.
Ironically, as the scale of RPA operations during the 1990s becomes
clearer, it could be argued that the Rwandan president should at least
be tried for genocide denial, if nothing else. But of course the current
law forbids denying only the official genocide that we all know and recognize, the one perpetrated by Hutu extremists against Tutsis.
So for now, as long as Kagame stays at home and can control the levers
of judiciary, government and his army, he may have many years still
ahead.

Rwanda: Kagame just doesn't get it.
President Paul Kagame repeated denials of covert support for the M23.
KIGALI - Rwandan President Paul Kagame on Friday angrily condemned a US decision to impose sanctions against his country for allegedly backing rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo who recruit child soldiers.
Kagame said the decision would only play into the hands of other rebels made up of remnants of Hutu extremists who carried out the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
Really. That is desperation talk. Stopping his proxies recruiting child soldiers benefits the FDLR how ? I guess under Kagame logic it means that there is a greater pool of children available to berecruited kidnapped by the FDLR or some other equally batshit crazy idea.
"It benefits those enemies of our country who seek to destroy what we are trying to build," Kagame said in a speech to parliament.
Calm down President Kagame the US isn't planning to support the FDLR nor is the UN they remain on the list for eradication by the MONUSCO Intervention ( African ) Brigade.
The United Nations accuses Rwanda of backing the M23 rebels in neighbouring eastern DR Congo, a charge the country has adamantly denied.
On Thursday, Washington said it was invoking the 2008 Child Soldiers Protection Act to end US financial and military assistance to Rwanda.
The Rwandan problem here is two fold the first being that Kagame and company have lied for so long about their support for the vicious murderous bastards that are M23 that they have started to believe that the world has swallowed the fiction that is now their reality. The second problem Rwanda faces is it has been comprehensively outmaneuvered by Uganda an erstwhile supporter of M23. Uganda has managed to downplay its less than spotless record in intervention in the eastern DR Congo and left Rwanda to advance their common foreign policy agenda. More importantly Uganda correctly read the utter stupidity of the Kagame administration, Kagame is mystified his denials are being ignored that his country has become branded as a rogue state whilst Uganda has supplanted Rwanda as the US principal ally in the Great Lakes Region.
But Kagame said the sanctions "benefit the people that throw grenades here in Kigali and killed our children", referring to recent attacks in the capital carried out in the run-up to parliamentary elections last month.
"They don't care about our children," he said, lashing out at "those murderers who live in the DRC (and) in South Africa" -- a reference to exiled Hutu extremists linked to the 1994 genocide as well as other opponents.
Well it is a fairly safe bet that the FDLR clowns don't give a toss about Rwandan children it might surprise the killers of Kigali to know that the rest of the world cares deeply about Rwandan kids, as indeed the world cares deeply about the kids living in the eastern DR Congo, that is why the World authorised the Intervention ( Africa ) Brigade to kill not only the M23 clowns he sponsors in the Congo who have been happily murdering and raping children in betweenrecruiting kidnapping them
to get killed for Kagame's wet dream of political control of the
eastern DR Congo but also to deal with the FDLR and the numerous other
armed groups.
The M23 rebel group was founded by former Tutsi rebels who were incorporated into the Congolese army under a 2009 peace deal but who turned their guns on their former comrades in 2012.
Kagame's government, also dominated by Tutsis, is accused of backing the rebels as part of a proxy war against Hutu rebels in the DRC and to seek influence in the country's mineral-rich eastern Kivu region.
Kagame repeated denials of covert support for the M23, and described the sanctions as an "insult".
He is correct in so far it is an insult and a very calculated one. The amount of money involved is relatively insignificant. Jason Stearns at Congo Siasa blogs.
This decision is symbolic, as it will probably only affect around $500,000 in training programs for the Rwandan army, but is nonetheless important. It can probably be interpreted as the first official indication in months––the UN Group of Experts report in July suggested that Rwandan support had declined––that members of the international community feel that Rwandan support to the M23 continues.
"I don't understand why Rwanda is treated... with such injustice," he said. "Rwanda is going to be judged and held accountable for the mistakes made by others."
Rwanda is just starting to realise the extent of their miscalculation but as per usual they continue to lie.

KINSHASA |
 | |
| Kadogo, hundred of thousands rwandan children were involved in Kagame wars and most of them have the famous name of Kadogo |
Some M23 child soldiers received training from the Rwandan Defence Force for up to two weeks before being handed over to the rebel group, with some of the children believing mistakenly that they were joining the Rwandan army, the chief of child protection at the U.N. peacekeeping mission in the country said.
U.N. experts have repeatedly accused Rwanda of backing the 18-month-long M23 insurgency in eastern Congo, a charge the Rwandan government has fiercely rejected. The roots of the Tutsi-dominated rebellion lie in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, where Hutu troops killed 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus.
Since the rebellion began, the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Congo - known as MONUSCO - has interviewed 117 boys who were recruited by M23 and found 37 of them were Rwandan.
There are still a couple of hundred children among the M23 ranks, MONUSCO's chief of child protection Dee Brillenburg Wurth told reporters in Kinshasa during a visit by U.N. Security Council ambassadors to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
She said four of the boys said they received military training by the Rwandan Defence Force in Rwanda at camps in Bigogwe, Ruhengeri-Nyarubanda and at the former university campus in Mundende before they were handed over to M23.
"(They were given) very, very sophisticated training, very serious training, some of them by Rwandans. They said some of the trainers had Rwandan uniforms on," said Brillenburg Wurth.
"Some of (the children) thought they were being recruited in the Rwandan Defence Force and they were trained in Rwanda and then they found themselves ... in Congo," she said, adding that cash rewards, education and job opportunities were also used to recruit groups of children in Rwanda.
Brillenburg Wurth said the ages of the child soldiers ranged from 11 to 17 and most were aged 15, 16 or 17. She said some children told how they had been recruited by a football coach and a police officer, who were earning $5 per child.
The United States, which has called on Rwanda to drop its support for the M23 rebels, stepped up its pressure on Kigali last week by moving to block military aid over the recruitment of M23 child soldiers in its territory.
DISOBEY AND DIE
The former M23 child soldiers said they were regularly posted on the frontline and saw many other children killed.
"Within the group there is an extremely tough hierarchy and discipline. People who didn't obey orders were just killed. One child told how he had to kill two adults who had done some infraction," Brillenburg Wurth said.
Among several M23 officers accused by the former child solders of recruiting, torturing and killing children are Innocent Zimurinda and Baudouin Ngaruye, who are both subject to a U.N. travel ban and asset freeze.
The United Nations has said Zimurinda and Ngaruye fled to Rwanda in March with fellow officers Jean-Marie Runiga and Eric Badege, also under U.N. sanctions, after M23 suffered a violent internal split. They escaped with warlord Bosco Ntaganda who was defeated by rival M23 commander Sultani Makenga.
In July the Congolese government issued international arrest warrants and extradition requests to the Rwandan government for the four men on charges of commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity, the United Nations said.
The U.N. Security Council delegation, which includes U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power and British Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant, is due to travel to Rwanda on Sunday, where they plan to discuss how former M23 combatants who fled to Rwanda can be dealt with in accordance with relevant international law.
The United States last week partially blocked military aid to Congo over the issue of child soldiers.
Brillenburg Wurth expressed surprise at Washington's decision regarding the Democratic Republic of Congo, which last year signed an action plan with the United Nations to stop and prevent recruitment of child soldiers.
"There have been huge results... They don't recruit children any more. There's been zero tolerance," she said.

Nord-Kivu: les FARDC tuent 2 rebelles du M23 à Kahunga
Demonstrators rallied in Toronto Saturday against a private visit to Canada by Rwandan President Paul Kagame, urging his arrest.
Shouting "No more killing!" and "Kagame is an assassin!" through megaphones, protesters brandished placards with photos of bloodied victims outside a luxury hotel where Kagame and his delegation were believed to be staying ahead of a meeting to mark Rwanda Day.
Paul Kagame déchaîne les mêmes passions qu'à sa première visite au
Canada, en avril 2006. À Montréal, où il participait à une conférence
sur l'éducation et le développement économique en Afrique, des centaines
de personnes l'avaient pris à partie.Le collectif, qui considère que M. Kagame a commis des crimes de guerre lors du génocide rwandais, demande au Canada de le déclarer persona non grata.
Si aucune accusation n'a formellement été déposée à ce jour contre Paul Kagame, plusieurs le soupçonnent d'avoir commandité l'attentat contre l'avion de l'ancien président rwandais, Juvenal Habyarimana, alors qu'il était le commandant des principales forces rebelles du pays. La mort du président Habyarimana a déclenché le génocide.
« Il soutient le mouvement rebelle, qui a eu lieu depuis 1994. Et de cela, huit millions de personnes sont mortes et plus de deux millions de femmes ont été violées », indique l'un de ses opposants.
Pour ses partisans, Paul Kagame, au pouvoir depuis 1994, est plutôt le héros qui a ressoudé le Rwanda à la suite du génocide.Le collectif souligne que le Canada a adopté, en 2000, la Loi sur les crimes contre l'humanité et les crimes de guerre, qui permet d'exercer des poursuites contre toute personne retrouvée au Canada après avoir commis les infractions visées par la loi, sans égard à sa nationalité ni au lieu où les crimes ont été commis.
The protesters also carried signs and shouted chants accusing Kagame of the murders of millions of Congolese. One common chant was, “Kagame, genocidaire.” Genocidaire is a term for a perpetrator of genocide. In 2009, the United Nations released a report that alleged that Rwanda may have committed genocide on the Hutu people during its 1996–97 pursuit of Hutu perpetrators of the 1994 genocide who had fl ed to the neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo, then called Zaire. The report said that the large numer of innocent Hutu civilians who were killed or harmed suggested that they were not merely collateral damage, and that the intent of the Rwandan military may have been to destroy the Hutu people “in whole or in part,” in accordance with the definition of genocide in international law. However, the report also raised doubts about this inent, noting that the Rwandan military also spared Hutu lives and helped many Hutu back into Rwanda. The Rwandan government issued an official rebuttal of the report, denying any claims of genocide and saying that the report used “fl awed methodology and application of the lowest imaginable evidentiary standard.” There have also been allegations that Rwanda is exploiting Congolese mineral resources. According to Cech, the amount of minerals which have recently been officially exported from Rwanda does not physically exist within the country. “Part of [the success of Rwanda] is that it’s built on the backs of the Congolese, who have really paid the price in human life,” Cech said.

September 27 -28, 2013: President Kagame in Toronto or the promise of a distastefully hot weekend
 |
(MONTREAL / TORONTO) -
While the Syrian civil war remains on the front pages of the major
world newspapers, the war in the African Great Lakes region continues
unabated with its death toll since twenty years, and Western media
outlets keep scrambling for hot stories, unmoved by the African
bloodletting.
Taking advantage of that media passiveness, the
perpetrators of the foolish massive human slaughter, which has already
taken more than eight million lives, are touring Western capitals and
cities with utmost delight, while their handy-men go on rampage,
slaughtering entire families.
That is what the President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, is
looking forward to. According to an announcement by the Embassy of
Rwanda in Canada, the President of Rwanda is to visit Toronto on
September 27 -28, 2013.
The outrageous nature of that announcement has prompted
concerned citizens of African Great lakes region, from Rwanda, Burundi,
Congo and Tanzania to send letters to the Government of Canada, to
express their protest against the visit.
They petitioned for President Kagame not to be allowed
entry on Canadian territory, in consideration of charges which have been
leveled against him, his fiery speeches and other serious violations of
human rights violations by his regime.
They also drew the attention of Canadian authorities on
insecurity risks that visit could trigger, as President Kagame is known
to travel with handy-men whose task is to hunt down members of the
opposition.
In addition to their protest letters, concerned citizen
are also getting ready to face the possible arrival of President
Kagame, and they have vowed to converge to Toronto from all over Canada
and America, in order to stage a mammoth protest against the man who is
regarded as the world greatest criminal still in power.
In fact, President Kagame’s criminal record is incomparably extensive. Following are just a few cases.
United Nations Experts reports have brought out in the
open, the fact that Rwanda has been supporting M23 Congolese rebels who
have been ransacking Eastern Congo (DRC), by supplying men, weapons and
ammunitions.
These rebels have committed crimes against humanity,
systematic gang rapes and forceful recruitment of children, to be used
as soldiers. Evidence of the involvement of President Paul Kagame’s army
in those crimes has led several donor countries, including UK, the USA,
and Germany, the Netherland and others, limit their financial
assistance to Rwanda.
The Rwandan Army, with General Kagame as commander in
chief, stands accused by the UN Mapping Report,of the most serious human
rights violations committed between 1993 and 2003 on the territory of
the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The involved crimes relate to serious violation of
human rights and international humanitarian law against the people of
Congo and Rwandan Hutu refugees all along the mentioned period, and the
report states that these crimes would amount to genocide if evidence
thereof were to be presented before a competent jurisdiction.
President Paul Kagame’s regime is also regularly
denounced by major human rights and freedom of expression organizations
such as Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and Reporters Without
Borders, for victimization, imprisonment and murder of members of
political opposition and independent journalists.
"He killed a lot of people not only in Rwanda but in the Congo. He's responsible for the deaths of millions of people."
Kagame's government has come under fire for supporting a new militia in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the M23, which has raped, killed and displaced thousands of civilians in the eastern Kivu provinces. AFP
The former vice chairman of the Democratic Green Party
of Rwanda, André Kagwa Rwisereka, was beheaded a few months in the
runoff of the presidential elections in August 2010.
There is also the murder of former journalist Jean
Leonard Rugambage and the imprisonment of Ms Ingabire Victoire, Mr.
Deogratias Mushayidi and Attorney Bernard Ntaganda, who are respectively
Chairpersons of political parties FDU Inkingi, PDP Imanzi and PS
Imberakuri.
To complete his criminal records, President Paul Kagame
also sends hit squads abroad, tasked with killing opposition leaders
and independent journalists who have fled the country. Journalist
Charles Ingabire was gunned down in Uganda, but an attempt on the life
of General Kayumba Nyamwasa has failed in South Africa, as were the
attempts by the same hit squads to kill Jonathan Musonera and René
Mugenzi in Great Britain.
President Kagame has gone public, announcing his intention to extend his criminal activities to neighboring Tanzania.
In a fiery speech before hundreds of youths on June 30,
2013, he declared that he would “lie in wait for President Kikwete to
hit him at the right moment”. This threat was directed at the Tanzanian
President, following his advice, during the 21st summit meeting of the
African Union on May 26 in Addis Ababa, to get the incumbent governments
of countries involved in the Eastern Congolese crisis, to sit down and
negotiate with their rebel forces. According to President Kikwete, if
Kinshasa government can negotiate with M23 rebels, Kigali and Kampala
should also engage rebels opposed to their regimes.
For all these motives, thousands of concerned citizens
who have immigrated to North America from Congo, Rwanda, Burundi and
Tanzania, are mobilizing for a mammoth protest against President Kagame
in Toronto in case Canada would grant him an entry visa.
That being the case, it remains difficult to understand why Canada
would, as a principle, deport immigrants suspected of genocide, war
crimes or crimes against humanity or even persons who are accused of
having made hate speeches, and then turn around and welcome on its
territory a person, head of state or otherwise.
Especially one whose criminal records are second to none throughout world history.
