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

Rwanda: The land of Liars, Total Impunity and Colossal Corruption
In they Think You're Stupid, Inferior and Subman
This horrific story does not end there.
Despite the ongoing violence and human rights abuses in Rwanda, the United States works in public and behind the scenes to strengthen relations with the Rwandan criminal regime.
The US and EU political systems must immediately cut off all funding for Kagame (secret) police, military and militia, who continue to abuse their power without consequence. And US court system must allow Individuals, US citizens who claim to proceed in situations where justice is not possible in the country where the abuse takes place.
We hope the Kagame case will help bring justice where it has been denied. Instead:

GOMA - A rebel faction spokesman says his armed group has regained control of all of the M23 rebel territory in eastern Congo, and the leader of the other faction "has been arrested" in Rwanda.
 |
| Jean-Marie Runiga Arrested in Rwanda |
Col. Vianney Kazarama said Saturday that Jean-Marie Runiga was detained by Rwandan authorities after fleeing across the border.
The movement's military leader, Gen. Sultani Makenga, dismissed the political head of the movement, Jean-Marie Runiga, in February. Both men then formed their own factions, which have been fighting since. Kazarama, who is the spokesman for Makenga's faction, says they have taken control of the areas designated for M23 control.
The M23 is largely made of Tutsi fighters who were part of a previous rebellion before being integrated into the army in 2009. They rebelled again in April 2012.
KINSHASA (Reuters) - Congolese rebels loyal to warlord Bosco Ntaganda have fled into neighboring Rwanda or surrendered toUnited Nations peacekeepers after being routed by a rival faction, rebel and U.N. sources said on Saturday.
 |
| General Nkunda Also arrested or fled to an unknown destination? |
Ntaganda's apparent defeat comes after weeks of infighting within the M23 insurgency and could open the way for rival rebel leader Sultani Makenga to sign a peace deal with Kinshasa, bringing an end to a year-long rebellion in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
Rebel spokesman Vianney Kazarama said Makenga's fighters seized control of the town of Kibumba, 30 km (19 miles) north of Goma, capital of mineral-rich North Kivu province, early on Saturday.
Ntaganda and an estimated 200 fighters fled into the forest while others crossed the border into Rwanda, Kazarama said. At least seven fighters were killed.
"We're sweeping the area and placing our soldiers at strategic points," Kazarama said. "It is finished."
Ntaganda is wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of killing civilians during a previous rebellion. His links to M23 have been a stumbling block to peace talks with Kinshasa - the Congolese government has repeatedly said it wants him brought to justice.

 |
| General Nkunda Also arrested in Rwanda |
"We're following the situation very closely. The only thing we want is for Ntaganda to be arrested," government spokesman Lambert Mende said.
Ntaganda's whereabouts could not be confirmed independently and members of his faction were not reachable by telephone on Saturday.
Rwanda said on Saturday more than 200 rebel fighters had fled across its border overnight, including M23's former political head Jean-Marie Runiga, a Ntaganda loyalist who was ousted from the rebel hierarchy last month.
"It's over for the Bosco (Ntaganda) and Runiga faction," one U.N. source said.
Dozens of other M23 fighters, including senior officers, had handed themselves over to U.N. peacekeepers in recent days, according to the source, who asked not to be named.
The United Nations has accused Rwanda of backing armed uprisings in its vast and unstable neighbor to tackle extremist Rwandan rebels who operate there and to protect its economic interests.
 |
| General Mutebusi Also arrested in Rwanda ! |
In 2009, Kigali played a key role in ending the last major insurgency when it arrested its former ally and rebel leader Laurent Nkunda as part of a deal with Kinshasa.
That agreement saw Ntaganda integrated into the Congolese army as a general. It was Kinshasa's alleged failure to honor the terms of the deal that the rebels say sparked the M23 uprising.
M23 is one of many rebel groups operating in eastern Congo, which has been torn apart by nearly two decades of fighting over land, ethnicity and resources which has left millions dead.

1999 - Rifts emerge between Congolese Liberation Movement (MLC) rebels supported by Uganda and Rally for Congolese Democracy (RCD) rebels backed by Rwanda.
Lusaka peace accord signed
1999 July - The six African countries involved in the war sign a ceasefire accord in Lusaka. The following month the MLC and RCD rebel groups sign the accord.
GOMA/KINSHASA, 26 August 2004 (IRIN) - A battle is looming in the Democratic Republic of the Congo over who will control a key rebel group-turned-political party. How the battle plays out could determine whether the peace process remains on track.
The leader of the Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie (RCD-Goma), Azarias Ruberwa, who has been one of the four vice-presidents, left the capital, Kinshasa, last week for Goma, his stronghold in the east, and then this week announced that he was suspending his participation in the country's one-year old transitional government of national unity. But party members are divided over the decision and Ruberwa, himself, seems deeply ambivalent about the action he has taken.
"The situation at the moment is tense and fragile," Jacqueline Chernard, a UN information officer in Goma, said. "This is a difficult period and indeed some hard-line elements might seize the opportunity to continue rebelling," she told IRIN.
The current crisis was precipitated by a massacre on 13 August of 160 Congolese Tutsis, known as Banyamulenge, who in June had fled across the border into neighbouring Burundi. Ruberwa, who is also a Banyamulenge, described the massacre as "a genocide" and said the transitional process needed to be paused and re-assessed.

| Ruberwa or Ruberwankiko? Why are U lying?? |
Divisions within RCD-Goma largely follow ethnic lines and reflect one of major fault lines in the country's on-going conflict. Other Congolese see the Banyamulenge as foreigners since they originally came from Rwanda over a century ago.
Ruberwa said he suspended his participation in the transitional government because the peace accord that brought it about may need to be redesigned. However, according to Information Minister Henri Moya Sakanyi, President Joseph Kabila has said renegotiating the agreement was "out of the question". Moya Sakanyi said the signatories of the accord had met earlier this year and agreed that the accord should stand.
Senior MPs in RCD-Goma based in Kinshasa and the majority of RCD-Goma members are also opposed to withdrawing from the transitional government. "We feel that pulling out of the institutions of the republic at this time is not going to resolve any of the contradictions we are denouncing," Emile Ilunga, a former chairman of the RCD who is the deputy speaker of parliament, said.
"We should rather go to the elections," Ilunga said of the nation's first ever-democratic elections scheduled for 2005. "It's from the inside that we can influence the course of events rather than being on the outside."
But the massacre in Burundi has hardened the position of hard-liner Banyamulenge within the RCD-Goma who have long opposed the transitional government and who now accuse the Kinshasa government of supporting the massacre.

Already in June, renegade commander Gen Laurent Nkunda led his troops into southern Kivu town of Bukavu saying that the Banyamulenge there were being persecuted. His troops are accused of committing widespread looting and human rights abuses in the week they occupied the town.
In an interview with IRIN following the recent massacre, Nkunda vowed to invade Bukavu again. "If the peaceful means of solving the problem have failed we shall resort to forceful measures," he said. "Unless our demands are met of protecting our people, then we will certainly pick up our guns and fight on."
Now, according to a number of officials in Goma, a coalition is emerging between Nkunda and former foreign affairs minister Bizima Karaha who was among eight RCD-Goma MPs in the interim parliament who failed to take up their seats recently when the assembly went into session.
Many observes say that Ruberwa is caught between showing his colleagues in Kinshasa that he is serious about the peace process and showing his fellow Banyamulenge in Goma that he will stand up for them.
Reflecting the competing pressures Ruberwa is under, one of his last acts as vice-president was to issue a decree calling for Nkunda's arrest. Then, the next day, he announced his withdrawal from the government, a position that effectively supported Nkunda.
One official within RCD-Goma told IRIN that Ruberwa had wanted to return to Kinshasa but had been overpowered by elements opposed to the transition. An expatriate in Goma agreed. "Ruberwa is seen as a traitor from both sides no matter which decision he takes," he said.
Ruberwa openly admitted the dilemmas he faces when speaking last week at the memorial service in Goma for the Banyamulenge massacred in Burundi. "We are divided at the moment," he said of party members. "Some are for Karaha, others for Ruberwa, others for Nkunda. If we do not unite and speak as one, then we will perish."
Ruberwa's pullout will result in a slow down in the Kinsaha's ability to expand its authority to the east as well as a halt in economic reunification and the reintegration of the armed forces. It also reduces the effectiveness of the parliament and the senate.
Heightened tensions also make the job harder of the 10,800-strong UN peacekeeping force currently spread throughout a country the size of Western Europe.
An international committee supporting the transition called on RCD-Goma to lift its suspension. In a communiqué on Tuesday, it stated that there was no viable alternative to the transition process. The committee is made up of the ambassadors of Angola, Belgium, Britain, Canada, China, France, Gabon, Russia, South Africa, USA, Zambia, the European Union, African Union and the UN mission in the DRC.
Many observers say that war is again a possibility. "This is a stark reminder that events could spiral into large-scale war again at nearly any time," says a UN official in Goma. A South African diplomat in the Rwandan capital, Kigali, agrees. "The position taken by RCD-Goma is definitely a terrible blow to the peace process and could lead this country into renewed war," he said. South Africa brokered the peace agreement that led to the formation of the power-sharing transitional government.
In a letter addressed to the UN Security Council, the International Crisis Group appealed to Western countries to act to save the DRC from being plunged into a new war.
Most dangerous are the threats, accusations and counter-accusations between the governments of the DRC and its eastern neighbours, Burundi and Rwanda.

"The eyes of truth are bright, the head of Truth is up right, Truth has no fear of doubt, the words of Truth are touching and deep..." You true book lovers are the whole reason Dr Olivier Nyirubugara has written and published the book.
Dr. Olivier Nyirubugara is lecturer of New Media and Online Journalism at the Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication (Erasmus University Rot-terdam). He has published mainly on digital media, history education, cultural heritage, and cultural memory.
Can a
society, a culture, a country, be trapped by its own memories? The question is
not easy to answer, but it would not be a bad idea to cautiously say: ‘It
depends’. This book is about one society – Rwanda – and its culture,
traditions, identities, and memories. More specifically, it discusses some of
the ways in which ethnic identities and related memories constitute a deadly
trap that needs to be torn apart if mass violence is to be eradicated in that
country. It looks into everyday cultural practices such as child naming and
oral traditions (myths and tales, proverbs, war poetry etc.) and into political
practices that govern the ways in which citizens conceptualize the
past.
Rwanda
was engulfed in a bloody war from 1990 until 1994, the last episode of which
was a genocide that claimed about a million lives among the Tutsi
minority. This book – the first in the Memory Traps series – provides a new understanding
of how a seemingly quiet society can suddenly turn into a scene of the most
horrible inter-ethnic crimes. It offers an analysis of the complexities and
dangers resulting from the ways in which memories are managed both at personal
and collective levels.
The
main point is that Rwandans have become hostages of their memories of the
long-gone and the recent past. The book shows how these memories follow ethnic
lines and lead to a state of cultural hypocrisy on the one hand, and to
permanent conflict – either open and brutal, or latent and beneath the surface
– on the other hand. Written from a memory studies perspective and informed by
critical theory, philosophy, literature, [oral] history, and psychology, among
others, this book deals with

| President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta March 2013 |
- Deputy prime minister, former finance minister
- 51 years old, son of Kenya's first president
- Faces crimes against humanity charges at the International Criminal Court at The Hague relating to post-election violence in 2007
- Nominated to parliament in 2001
- Appointed to run the Kenya Tourism Board in 1999
Kenyatta's small margin was just enough to let him win outright over Prime Minister Raila Odinga and avoid a runoff.
"Really I'd like to congratulate, firstly, the people of Kenya, who have gone into the polls and voted, and as you say in democracy, the majority wins the day," he said. "The fact that they voted and they've decided to choose their leader and he has been declared the winner, I'd like to congratulate him as well for winning elections. You know that in the last elections the conclusion was rather a little bit problematic, although the elections were rare. We are happy today that the announcement has been made and the people of Kenya are accepting this."
The vote count dragged on for days longer than expected because of technical problems. But international observers have said the vote was largely transparent and credible - a stark contrast from a 2007 presidential vote that was marred by violence.

| Kenyans'happiest day |
Zuma said The Hague's indictment of Kenyatta would not affect relations with South Africa.
"No. Why should we have problems? I mean, I mean, the ICC has indicted Kenyatta. That's one thing... The people of Kenya voted for Kenyatta. It's their decision. If you say Kenyatta is convicted, it would be a different matter," he said.
Museveni, Kagame at crossroads
Uhuru Kenyatta, the son of Kenya’s founding president, Jomo Kenyatta, and Raila Odinga, the son of his Vice President, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, are contesting in the March 4 Kenyan General Election to succeed President Mwai Kibaki.
The election has been significant because it has marked the handing over of the mandate to lead Kenya to a younger generation, and has tested the maturity of the multiparty that Kenyans have practiced since 1992.

Rencontre Kabila-Dos Santos-Zuma,
QUAND RFI DENATURE LES FAITS
Une tripartite Kinshasa, Luanda et Pretoria ce mardi 12 mars dans la capitale angolaise. Les modalités de mise en œuvre de l’accord-cadre sur la paix en Rdc et dans la région des Grands Lacs, signé le 24 février dernier à Addis-Abeba, étaient au centre des échanges entre délégations. Le président congolais, Joseph Kabila, l’angolais, José Eduardo dos Santos et leur homologue d’Afrique du Sud, Jacob Zuma se sont séparé après avoir rendu public le communiqué final. Un communiqué que Rfi a feint d’oublier dans le traitement de ses informations. Une désinformation et une manipulation qui sont autant de stratégies de ceux, pour qui la paix représente une sérieuse menace contre les intérêts de leurs mentors.

Luanda, le 12 mars 2013.
P.P.
Les trois pays dont les délégations ont été conduites par les Chefs d’Etat à Luanda sont toutes signataires de l’accord d’Addis-Abeba. Le respect des engagements pris à travers leur acte serait le principe fondateur de toute démarchent qu’ils sont susceptibles d’entreprendre en rapport avec la démarche entamé pour la restauration de la paix dans les grands lacs africains. Ainsi, prétendre que le simple fait de n’avoir pas produit du boucan à l’issue d’une rencontre de ci haut niveau serait un signe des discordances entre les voix des trois présidents africains relève d’une mauvaise lecture des faits. Pire encore, les auteurs d’une telle interprétation seraient au service de ceux qui, de tous leurs vœux, ne jure que par la pérennisation de la violence en vue de la prédation des ressources dans l’est de la Rdc.
Tous les médias et autres analystes nationaux et internationaux ont accueilli positivement l’initiative prise par Kinshasa, Luanda et Pretoria. La Rfi par contre, puisque c’est d’elle qu’il s’agit, a, avec ses loupes orientées, imaginé un fond inimitié à la place de ce qu’elle a qualifié d’unité de façade. Cet instrument de la politique extérieure de la France n’a même pas voulu s’arrêter là. Ses analystes dont le point de vue sur la situation en Rdc n’est plus à attendre, sont allés jusqu’à prendre pour preuve de la difficulté des négociations de la capitale angolaise, l’absence d’aucune mesure concrète à l’issue de la rencontre.
Et pourtant, en qualité de signataires de l’accord-cadre d’Addis-Abeba, ces trois pays n’ont plus qu’à attendre la résolution du Conseil de sécurité pour sa mise en œuvre. Les positions des uns et des autres sont connues depuis l’annonce de la proposition de l’accord en question. Comme son homologue tanzanien Jakaya Kikwete, le président sud-africain avait déjà affirmé qu’il était prêt à contribuer à la future brigade et même d’en prendre la tête. Option qu’un autre partenaire, l’Angola, n’a jamais rejetée malgré que, lui, a toujours plaidé pour une résolution pacifique du conflit dans la région. Sinon, le président Edouardo dos Santos n’aurait apposé sa signature au bas du document de la capitale Ethiopienne.
Rapport des forces
Ce que nos confrères de la chaine publique française feignent d’ignorer c’est que, dans chaque processus de négociation ou de conclusion des accords entre acteurs de la scène internationale, le principe majeur reste la préservation des intérêts de chacun. C’est ainsi qu’ils ont tendance à véhiculer un message du genre : « puisqu’on doit restaurer la paix en Rdc, tous les pays doivent oublier qu’ils ont leurs propres intérêts à préserver ici ou ailleurs ». Ils osent même croire que ce sont les congolais qui, au nom d’un quelconque accord, seraient restés inertes au point que les autres viennent, à eux tout seuls, décider de ce qui doit se passer sur leur territoire.
La défiance qui, selon la Rfi, serait croissante entre Luanda et Kinshasa, n’a, en réalité, rien avoir ni avec la mise en œuvre de l’accord d’Addis-Abeba, ni avec le contenu de la tripartite d’hier. Au regard du jeu international, l’Angola et la Rdc se doivent de se faire de la bonne guerre. Guerre qui, aux yeux d’observateurs avertis, se trouve être normal en ce sens que seul le rapport des forces compte dans la nouvelle configuration du monde et de la partie médiane du continent africain. Les deux pays ont tout à fait raison, quelles que soient les péripéties de la géopolitique mondiale et continentale, de s’inscrire, d’une manière permanente, dans la logique de la lutte pour la suprématie des puissances dans la région. D’où, la normalité des positions de l’un envers l’autre. Ce qui ne donne pas, pour autant raison aux allégations fallacieuses formulées par ceux qui ne veulent pas voir la paix revenir en Rdc et dans la région.
On ne cessera jamais de le dire, à chaque moment où un tournant décisif se dessine à l’horizon de l’histoire de la Rdc, l’ennemi se réveille. C’est à ce moment là, peut-être, qu’il se rend compte de la faiblesse de ses méthodes et tente de les renforcer, sinon les modifier. La Coalition internationale pour la déstabilisation du Congo – Cidc – semble en être arrivée là. Cette fois-ci encore, elle ne veut pas laisser la situation lui échapper aux pays de Simon Kimbangu, Lumumba et Kabila. Cette nébuleuse, dans les girons de laquelle se trouvent des Nations, personnalités, multinationales, sociétés secrètes, Organisations non gouvernementales et intergouvernementales ainsi que les médias, s’investit dans la lutte contre la paix, la stabilité, la reconstruction et le développement socioéconomique de la République Démocratique du Congo. Et la Rfi ne fait que son travail, celui pour lequel elle est là.
A en croire plus d’un analyste, la Radio France internationale confirme de plus en plus son appartenance à la Coalition internationale pour la déstabilisation du Congo. Plutôt que se limiter à collecter, traiter et diffuser les informations, ce média se comporte à la manière de ceux des acteurs de la scène internationale qui sont employé par cette alliance des forces engagées dans la lutte contre les intérêts de la Rdc. Et les actes qui prouvent ce fait sont multiples. Le dernier cas en date est le traitement de l’actualité relative à la tenue de la tripartite Rdc-Angola-Rsa à Luanda. De l’avis de plus d’un spécialiste de l’information, la Rfi se serait arrangée pour faire l’apologie des pensées négatives véhiculées par ceux qui ne vivent qu’au profit de la violence et de la prédation des ressources dans l’est de la Rdc.
