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

Banyarwanda,
Mwese mwese mugire amahoro.
Imyaka 25 irashize, abagihagaze mu bavanywe mu

Turanyariwe niba tudashyize ubwenge ku guhe.
Ikibazo kibaye agateranzamba kubera ko twese twigize abagenzacyahe. Urega agakora nk’aho we n’abe amategeko atabareba, ntiyemere ko n’iryo genzacyaha likorwa mu bwisanzure, ibyo we avuze agashaka ko bifatwa nk’Ivanjili Ntagatifu. Impungenge zikomeye ni uko abitwa ko bahagaraliye abandi, abiyita ko bakora politiki na société civile rwandaise, basubira mu mvugo y’abafashe ubutegetsi i Kigali. Bose birengagiza nkana ko ku bwicanyi bwabaye nta ankete za gipolisi zakozwe ngo zigaragaze ukuri, ngo zigaragaze uruhare abaregwa n’ababarega bagize mu makuba yagwiliye abanyarwanda. Kuko mu bwicanyi, abarega ni bo bagaragara ku murongo wa mbere w’abacyekwaho ubwo bugome n’urwo rugomo. Njye nsanga ari mu rwego rwo kuyobya uburali no kurangaza abantu, handihwa ibi: “(…) bibeshya ko hari icyo bizabafashaho muri negationnisme yabo ya genocide tutsi. Baribeshya ntacyo bizabafashaho, bo n’abo bavugira, kuko genocide tutsi yarangije kwemezwa n’abanyarwanda ubwabo n’amahanga ko yakozwe n’interahamwe za MRND, impuzamugambi za CDR, hutu power movement na bamwe mu bari muri ex-FAR, amahanga akaba yaranashyizeho urukiko rwo kubacira imanza.” Igihe cyose izo manza z’urugomo zizacibwa hatabanje kwerekanwa mu bisobanuro bufatika: Ni nde wakoze iki?

I Kigali, nabaga kandi nirirwaga mu muhanda nkorana n’abakinnyi natozaga sinema niteguraga gukinisha, byongeye nk’umwanditsi nakorera rubanda rwose. Imirwano yubuye 1994, nayoboye Inziraguhunga (la résistance civile) mu murwa wa Kigali, nawuvuyemo kuwa kane Nyakanga 1994 ; ntabwo nasohotse mu gihugu; ngaruka i Kigali mbere yo kuwa mbere Mata 1995. Rebero l’Horizon, Inkotanyi ziyihindura ilimbi nagiye kubikurikiranira hafi. Kuwa 20 Kamena 1996, saa ine za mugitondo, nafashwe na CID, mfungirwa mu kigo cya gisilikari, ex-GP, mpavanwa ngana gereza ya Gikondo. Mfunguwe nakoranye n’abanyabugeni banyuranye. Nahagurutse i Kanombe muri Nzeli 2004. Nabonye byinshi; mbwirwa byinshi imbona nkubone. Nandika ibyo mfitiye ibimenyetso simusiga kandi mvuga ibyo nzasubiramo.
Abanyarwanda b’ingeli zose twemera ko kwerekana ukuri, kuvugisha ukuri ari byo byonyine bizatuma twubaka igihugu mu ubwubahane n’ubworoherane bizaba intango ya demokarasi. Iyo abantu bashaka gihamya cy’ibyo bazemeranywaho bose, ibyo basanzwe bemera babisuka hasi, bakabona uko bajonjora, bavangura ukuri n’ibinyoma. Kuki twese tutemera kubikore?
Me Ngango Felesyani ati : « ubumwe bw’abahutu ni crime. » Aha ni ho Fpr, Dr Gasana Anastazi n’abandi bose bakorera Fpr bubakira ikinyoma bagira bati :
« (…) bo n’abo bavugira, kuko genocide tutsi yarangije kwemezwa n’abanyarwanda ubwabo n’amahanga ko yakozwe n’interahamwe za MRND, impuzamugambi za CDR, hutu power movement na bamwe mu bari muri ex-FAR, amahanga akaba yaranashyizeho urukiko rwo kubacira imanza (…). » Aya mashyaka aregwa icyaha acyo atarakora, adakeneye gukora. Uko ni ko ikinyoma cyatanazwe. Ni ryali ubumwe bw’abantu biba icyaha ? Kuki abahutu bagomba kuryana niba tugomba kubaka ubumwe bw’igihugu ? Ukuri: ubumwe bw’abahutu bwashoboraga gukoma imbere imigambi mibisha ya Major Paul Kagame. Kandi ubwo bumwe buramutse bugezweho none, Jenerali Paul Kagame yarara ahirimye. Ubwo bumwe azabubuza kugerwaho kugirango abone uko abaho.

Niba abahutu batarishe abatutsi intambara igitangira, ntibari kubica irangiye.

Ubwo nahuye na Kanyabugoyi Fideli wayoboraga « Kanyarwanda » limwe mu mashyirahamwe yitwaga ko aharanira ikiremwamuntu yose akorera Fpr, yansanze muri Bibliothèque nationale, avuze Gatabazi Felesiyani na Bucyana, musubiza ko bishwe na Fpr hagamijwe ko intambara ihinduka Nduga-kiga cyangwa hutu-tutsi. Mwumvisha ko Fpr yonyine ariyo ifite inyungu mu kaduruvayo kose kazavuka mu gihugu. Fideli Kanyabugoyi yansubije agira ati : « Ni hahandi hanyu. Votre Président a signé son arrêt de mort. Ubutegetsi turabufata. Now and forever ! » Namusubije ko Fpr nimara kwica Perezida Habyarimana, na bo ubwabo izabica kuko bazi ukuri ku mabi yateguwe na Paul Kagame. Nimara kubica, ipfundo lizaba lipfunditswe ubuzira herezo. Fpr igomba kwilinda abashobora kuzazimura. Lt Ruzibiza Abdul ni iki yazize.
Ukuri ku bibazo twahuye na byo ntabwo kuzwi gusa n’abohoze muri Fpr. Ukuri kuzamenyekana ari uko twerekanye twivuye inyuma ko isi yose yaguye mu mitego myinshi ya Paul Kagame, ko byose bihagarikwa, tugasuka hasi tugashungura. Kuko kugera kuwa 6 mata 1994, Fpr na Apr ya yo, nta basilikari b’abatutsi bahagije yari ifite. Mwese mwibuke abasilikali ba NRA bishyuje Paul Kagame amafaranga bokoreye bamurwanilira. Byaciye kuri BBC Gahuza milyango. Ko mu mirwano yubujwe na Fpr ngo ije gutabara abatutsi ni ikinyoma, ntacyo bari babaye. Muri iryo tabara ridasobanutse, ni bwo yaboneyeho akanya ko kubahinda mo ubudehe, Fpr ibicira kubamara. « L’agent protecteur est entré dans son second rôle. » Mwibuke ko iyo Fpr igifata ubutegetsi, umututsi wese atarakorenye n’« Icyama » yafatwaga nk’umugambanyi, agomba gusobanura impamvu atapfuye. Paul Kagame, Fpr, ntiyari gufata ubutegetsi atitwaje iyicwa ry’abatutsi. Iyo abatutsi badapfa, Paul Kagame ntiyari gufate ubutegetsi i Kigali. Uko basabwe gucukura imyobo mu ngo zabo ni ko babwiwe kujya barara muri zakiliziya Fpr imaze kwivugana babwana Gatabazi na Bucyana ; iyo Fpr ni yo yabasanze yo, irabarimarima. Ibyitilira abahutu. Isi yose ibifatamo ukuri ari ikinyoma. Abatutsi Paul Kagame yoherereje abishi, amaze gufate ubutegetsi yabahambishije mu cyubahiro. Abirangije, abahutu badafite kivugira abahindura imitako ikurura bamukerarugendo.

Babyumve batyo, babyemere batyo. » .Uyu murozi w’ibisebe Paul Kagame yasabye imbabazi abatutsi. Abo bitarebaga ntibabyumva. Nina yo mpamvu asubiramo agira ati: « Waginga hawana msimamo ! » bivuga ngo: « Babaswa ntacyo bishingikilije!» Abavugira abahutu, mureke kudusuzuguza bene aka kageni.

[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]
How BBC world and some other Western media of hatred reports will lead to another genocide, the worse genocide ever
in Rwanda.
The hatred of BBC
administration for the Hutu majority in Rwanda is profound. You can feel it
through their different report on Rwanda. Every single report is of full of
hatred of the Hutus. Since 1990’s their reports have long been bastions of de
facto Tutsis exclusivity (abateka mitwe).
There can’t be any debate and or discussions between both ethnic groups’ representatives. Complaints come from around the world, asking in vain for ending with BBC prejudices and reports of hatred. The hatred we now see in the BBC reports is of course prefigured by the Tutsi government in Rwanda supported by some of the BBC nomenklatura and producers.
There can’t be any debate and or discussions between both ethnic groups’ representatives. Complaints come from around the world, asking in vain for ending with BBC prejudices and reports of hatred. The hatred we now see in the BBC reports is of course prefigured by the Tutsi government in Rwanda supported by some of the BBC nomenklatura and producers.
The BBC reporter makes references to
Tutsis as "good and" victims" and referred to the majority Hutus
as "devils” and genocidaires". It is actually vastly worse at the
moment. When there are so many BBC World condoned anti-Hutu propaganda and
actions at a time when Tutsis are still 10% of the population if nobody from
them has got killed at is officially acknowledged.
The BBC world reports has become the cancer of the Rwandan history since the
RPF invasion of Rwanda in October 1st, 1990 and the deadliest coup
of April 6th , 1994 as President Habyarimana’s plane got shot down
by the RPF hard wing. BBC World is promoting a culture of lies and dishonesty
that has already pervaded the entire world. The promoted BBC World
paranoia on dividing Rwandans is felt as BBC reporters support the savage
cruelties of the RPF wars, praise the macho heroism that surrounds Kagame and
RPF criminals, and plumbs the depths of the pain and pathos of Tutsis, the good
and victims vs the Hutus, the bad, evil and genocidaires.
The BBC world persistence
of promoting such scandalous and outrageous reports on Rwandan ethnic issues is
becoming a very critical problem if nothing is done to stop it. At the same
time, the inconsiderateness towards and often ignorance of the Rwandan culture
contributes to creating a social climate which is supporting violence in
Rwanda.
BBC World and other Western media are being
manipulated
 |
| Money offered by Kagame for whitewashing his crimes and for RPF propaganda |
While BBC and other media in Western Europe have a
right and indeed an obligation to report on the ethnic conflict issues in
Rwanda and on the Rwandan genocide in particular, they also have a
responsibility to exercise impartiality, accuracy and balance in reporting.
Unfortunately, and their current position is based on supporting lies, serial
murders inside Rwanda, summary executions and persecutions of those who refuse
to kneel before the tyrant.

It is actually vastly
worse at the moment. When there are so many BBC World condoned anti-Hutu
propaganda and actions at a time when Tutsis are still 10% of the population if
nobody from them has got killed at is officially acknowledged.
This message is totally
intended to highlight the responsibilities of BBC World and the UK government
in their involvement in the Rwandan genocide as they supported and continue to
support by all means Paul Kagame and RPF, the extremist Tutsi invaders from the
Ugandan army.
In April 1994 apartheid
was coming to an end in South Africa and Mandela was elected president while an
another apartheid was created and institutionalized in Rwanda and the worse
dictator and Tutsi Paul Kagame took office first as vice-president but real he
was the real acting president and then the President of Rwanda through fake
elections supported by those of the Anglo-Saxon world powers notably the United
States and British governments (Clinton and Blair’s). The massive ethnic division and trauma was taking place as the genocide against the hated majority Hutu from Byumba , Ruhengeri, Gisenyi, Kibungo, Kigali the RPF bastion to central region Gitarama and then to the south region with Kibeho, the Rwandan Auschwitz was taking place, the list is endless; here we are not talking about mass murder in Remera National stadium, Nyamirambo football stadium and the Kigali car station near Kigali market and Sulfo Rwanda industries according to reliable critics of the investigations. No word mention about this by those who at each report praise and worship the serial murderer Paul Kagame as the good man who ended the genocide.
Knowing that Kagame has been armed by United States and Britain, millions of Hutus and interior Tutsis are walking zombie-like into this future, with no mainstream political or ethnic option that will do anything to save them. In 1994, there were guns and many different ways of killing at the RPF side, at the other hand not many guns used by the government’s side but machetes; so the well-known killers, the Tutsis RPF members will not have problems to get close to their victims, Hutus. As BBC World is preparing for the very worse genocide against Hutus, the well-trained Tutsi snipers, LDF, DMI and RDF soldiers will be shooting the Hutu ethnic members from miles away. So the victims will never see their killers.
 |
| Kagame, the mastermind of the Rwandan genocide Kagame murdered Rwandans in Bruhengeri and Byumba Then he assassinated Gatabazi Felician,Bucyana Martin Gapyisi Emmanuel, Lando, Rwambuka, Katumba .. the list is endless |
Every single Rwandan knows about that. Another pattern of Kagame and RPF party
and government’s horrifying lie is that those skeletons gathered in museums in
Kigali and across Rwanda are mostly of Hutu mothers and children for the simple
reason that you cannot cut off your mother’s head to be aligned in a museum and
the rest of the body thrown in the common grave!
Lastly not least, you cannot have your best friend someone who refused to intervene when your parents, relatives and friends were slaughtered by the enemy as did the former US president Bill Clinton becoming the best friend of the bloody Rwandan tyrant Paul Kagame. So much evidence, there's no need to show it or give you other patterns of Kagame, Kagame’s cronies and RPF party and government members.

Eye-witness
Account 1
Le major Jean-Marie Micombero, un ancien
officier de renseignement tutsi de l'armée de Paul Kagame, s'est confié
au journal Marianne/ 28 mars au 3 avril 2014. Il affirme sans hésiter qu'il a
assisté à la préparation de l'attentat contre l'avion du président rwandais
Juvénal Habyarimana le 6 avril 1994. Il met ainsi en cause le président actuel
du Rwanda, le général Paul Kagame, organisateur et commanditaire de cet
attentat terroriste ayant déclenché le génocide de 1994. La suite sur ce lien
The eye-witeness of Kagame's genocide and Kagame's serial murders
The Truth can be buried and stomped into the ground where none can see, yet eventually it will, like a seed, break through the surface once again far more potent than ever, and Nothing can stop it. Truth can be suppressed for a "time", yet It cannot be destroyed. ==> Wolverine

Bij de presidentsverkiezingen van vorige
maandag werd uittredend president Kagame met een verpletterend overwicht
herverkozen. De laatste maanden is duidelijk gebleken dat echte democratisering
nog een lange weg heeft af te leggen in Rwanda. 11.11.11- Koepel van de Vlaamse
Noord-Zuidbeweging observeerde ter plekke de verkiezingen, samen met
partnerorganisatie Ligue des Droits de la Personne dans la région des Grands
Lacs (LDGL).
LDGL stuurde 177 observatoren uit over
het land die vaststelden dat de verkiezingen veilig en rustig verliepen en dat
er een massale opkomst van de kiezers was. LDGL bekritiseert echter de opdeling
van de kiesbureaus per dorp waarbij de dorpschef vaak lid of voorzitter van het
kiesbureau is. Dit kan als drukkingsmiddel worden beschouwd waardoor het
kiesrecht eerder een kiesplicht wordt. Ook hecht LDGL veel belang aan het
beleid van de laatste maanden, gekenmerkt door intimidaties en beperkingen van
de vrije meningsuiting.
Ondanks kritiek wordt algemeen aanvaard
dat uittredend president Kagame werd herverkozen met een verpletterende score.
'Believers' kunnen hierin een bewijs zien van het succesverhaal van 'donor
darling' Rwanda: op enkele jaren tijd is de president erin geslaagd het land
herop te bouwen, na de genocide die aan meer dan 800.000 Rwandezen het leven
kostte en het land vernield achterliet. Zo zijn in Rwanda de laatste 16 jaar
grote stappen gezet op vlak van administratief goed bestuur, decentralisatie,
corruptiebestrijding, infrastructuur, veiligheid, gezondheidzorg en economische
heropbouw.
Maar er zijn ook aanwijzingen dat deze
verkiezingen een verdere uitholling van de Rwandese democratie betekenen.
Kagame bleef immers nagenoeg als enige presidentskandidaat over, nadat iedere
vorm van oppositie of kritiek de laatste maanden monddood werd gemaakt.
Oppositiepartijen werden belet zich te registreren, media werden gecensureerd,
een oppositieleider en een journalist werden vermoord, anderen werden
geëntimideerd of gearresteerd. Van democratische ruimte is dus nagenoeg geen
sprake, van een echt politiek debat evenmin.
Ook de manier waarop men zijn stem moest
uitbrengen, kan vragen oproepen. Iedere kiezer moest zijn vingerafdruk plaatsen
bij de kandidaat van zijn voorkeur op het stembiljet. Wetende dat in Rwanda
ieders vingerafdruk ook wordt geregistreerd wanneer men een identiteitskaart
aanvraagt, en dat er slechts enkele honderden kiezers zijn per stembureau, kan
deze manier van stemmen als intimiderend worden ervaren. LDGL klaagde deze
praktijk trouwens al aan bij de parlementaire verkiezingen van 2008.
De inperking van de mogelijkheden tot
inspraak en vrije meningsuiting zorgen ervoor dat een aantal frustraties binnen
de Rwandese samenleving niet kunnen worden geventileerd. En dat kan op termijn
gevaarlijk zijn. Niet alleen voor Rwanda zelf, maar voor de hele regio van de
Grote Meren.
Als Rwanda wil verder bouwen op de positieve trends die in het land in gang werden gezet, moeten het land en zijn internationale partners niet enkel aandacht besteden aan technocratische efficiëntie, maar ook aan democratisch goed bestuur. Dé uitdaging voor de Rwandese machthebbers bestaat er nu in inspraak te geven aan de bevolking en ruimte te laten voor de civiele maatschappij, de media en de oppositie, door de vrijheid van meningsuiting en de persvrijheid te respecteren.

De internationale gemeenschap mag haar
verantwoordelijkheid hierbij niet ontlopen en moet een open en constructieve
dialoog aangaan met het Rwandese regime. België onderhandelt op dit moment met
Rwanda over het volgende meerjarenprogramma voor de bilaterale
ontwikkelingssamenwerking. Net zoals dat het geval is in de akkoorden met Congo
en Burundi, moet België erop toezien dat extra hulpmiddelen kunnen worden
vrijgemaakt, Ã ls Rwanda vooruitgang maakt op vlak van democratisering en goed
bestuur.
België mag niet met twee maten en
gewichten werken voor de landen in de regio van de Grote Meren en moet daarom
ook met Rwanda deze discussie opstarten. Een dergelijke aanpak is natuurlijk
veel doeltreffender als die wordt gedragen door de bredere donorengemeenschap,
ook omdat België in Rwanda niet zoveel gewicht in de schaal kan leggen als in
Burundi of in Congo. De EU kan dat wel, maar slaagt er niet in met eensgezinde
stem op de evoluties in het land in te spelen.
Door zich op één lijn te
scharen, kunnen de EU-lidstaten erop aandringen dat de Rwandese verkiezingen
meer zijn dan 'window dressing'.Dit zou een mooie uitdaging zijn voor het Belgische
voorzitterschap. Voor meer informatie: Corine Van

Today, I
published a short opinion piece on the AfricanArguments.org website about
Rwanda's recent Twitter-gate, linking it to broader patterns of disinformation
in postgenocide Rwanda. The link is here.
The
original text follows:
As Rwanda
prepares to mark the twentieth anniversary of the 1994 genocide, it has found
itself in an unprecedented diplomatic crisis. The ruling Rwandan Patriotic
Front has all but claimed responsibility for the murder of its former spy chief
Patrick Karegeya in Johannesburg in January. More recently, the South African
government has accused Rwandan diplomats of a third bungled attempt on the life
of the country’s former army chief Kayumba Nyamwasa. The State Department
scolded the government of President Paul Kagame for the attempt. The South
African government then expelled three Rwandan diplomats, and is considering
ending formal diplomatic ties with Rwanda.
Foreign
journalists reporting on the attack on Nyamwasa raised the ire of President
Kagame. On March 7, Radio France International journalist Sonia Rolley was
subject to misogynistic harassment from the account of @RichardGoldston.
American freelancer Steve Terrill came to Rolley’s defense, resulting in a
series of mocking tweets from the account of Rwanda president @PaulKagame
himself, not the @RichardGoldston to which Terrill (@steveinafrica) had
directed his Tweets. A week later, on March 15, Terrill was denied entry into
Rwanda. The denial appearspolitically-motivated as Terrill broke the story that
someone in the office of the Rwandan president also had access to the
@RichardGoldston account. The @RichardGoldston account trolled Twitter for any
sign of criticism of Kagame or the RPF, and regularly harassed and demeaned
Twitter users that criticized the government.
On March 8,
the official Twitter account of the Office of the Rwandan President
(@UrugwiroVillage) tweeted that the @RichardGoldston account had been deleted
and the staff member responsible for the account had been “reprimanded’.
Rwanda’s Twitter-gate raise questions about the central role of RPF
Twitter-trolls in calling out foreign journalists who seek it hold it to
account for its excesses at home and abroad. President Kagame’s reactionary
tweets provide insight into the political reality behind his government’s
carefully crafted narrative that Rwanda is a nation rehabilitated from the ruin
of the 1994 genocide. Twitter-gate is also illustrative of the harassment and
intimidation that critics of the RPF regime regularly experience.
Twitter-gate
is the first crack in the armor of the RPF’s longstanding disinformation
campaign that has relied on exchange students, public relations firms,
commemorative events, and a whole host of other techniques to craft an
idealized and often invented version of what Rwanda was like before the onset
of colonialism and what it has become since the 1994 genocide. Since 2009, the
RPF has worked with American and British PR specialists whose primary task is
to drown out the voices of foreign critics and bury evidence of the RPF’s human
rights abuses under rosy language about political stability, economic growth,
and the stated intention of helping the poor. In January, Rwanda launched the
Kwibuka20 campaign, from inside Kagame’s office of course, for the same
instrumental reason: to substitute the trope of genocide for the trope of
authoritarianism in narratives about Rwanda.
The
disinformation strategy is simple: ensure maximum international sympathy and
donor dollars and a minimum of international inquiry into the government’s
denial of liberties and human rights abuses. The Kagame-led regime has a
penchant for U.S. visits and visitors, and until recently successive U.S.
administrations turned a blind eye to massive human rights violations for which
the Kagame-led regime, according to the United Nations, is responsible in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo. Americans in particular have been taken in by
the rhetoric of reconstruction, development, and reconciliation that invariably
accompanies most public events in the country.
The RPF
frames itself for Western audiences as the political party best able to move
Rwanda is moving towards a Western-style democracy because it has regularly
held presidential and parliamentary elections. The RPF handily won the most
recent round of parliamentary elections, in September 2013, with 76% of the
vote. In theory, it was contending with nine other parties. In practice,
Rwanda’s nearly six million voters had little choice on the ballot. A total of
98% of the votes went to the RPF and its four coalition parties. The continued
dominance of the RPF in the electoral realm projects a semblance of political
pluralism while masking the fact that all parties are expected to acquiesce to
the ruling party. Two actual opposition parties have been banned and their
leaders jailed.
Another
pillar of Rwanda’s disinformation campaign is that the government promotes
gender-equality. 64% percent of parliamentarians in Rwanda’s lower house are
women, but this number masks reality. Although women are very visible in Rwanda
politics, their ability to shape the future of women, ironically, is
circumscribed. Rwanda's parliament has limited influence. Parliamentarians—be
they male or female—actually have little power to legislate on behalf of their
constituents. They have little room to develop policy or even to debate openly;
space for free and open political expression is limited. Put differently, an
assessment of political realities shows that women parliamentarians in Rwanda
are mere accessories of power; they do not actually wield any of it.
Though the
genocide has not repeated itself, growing socio-political and economic
inequalities—notably the exclusion of youth—under an increasingly authoritarian
and repressive government have meant that post-genocide Rwanda is still deeply
entangled in its violent past. Rwandans deserve better from their American
friends. Rwanda’s Twitter-gate also reminds us that, on this 20th anniversary
of the Rwandan genocide, we should not allow our generally rosy perception of
Rwanda as a stable and free country under the visionary leadership of President
Kagame to mask long-standing political tensions, unresolved resentments, and
the rise of an authoritarian regime.
The Truth can be buried and stomped into the ground where none can see, yet eventually it will, like a seed, break through the surface once again far more potent than ever, and Nothing can stop it. Truth can be suppressed for a "time", yet It cannot be destroyed. ==> Wolverine

[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]

Guerre diplomatique entre Kigali et Pretoria LE RWANDA EXPORTE LA TERREUR CONTRE SES RESSORTISSANTS EN AFRIQUE DU SUD
The row strained ties between two African states involved in efforts to bring peace to eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where South Africa has troops in a U.N. brigade that fought last year against rebels whom U.N. experts said received support from Rwanda. Kigali denied backing the Congolese rebels.
Late on Monday, armed men broke into the Johannesburg home of former Rwandan army chief General Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa, an exiled critic of Rwandan President Paul Kagame.
Nyamwasa, who survived an assassination attempt in Johannesburg in 2010, was not in the house at the time.
A
diplomatic source, who asked not to be named, told Reuters that South
African security services had tracked the attackers. "It was very clear
that they were intelligence personnel attached to the Rwandan embassy,"
the source added.Three diplomats from the Rwandan mission in Pretoria were ordered out of the country in 48 hours this week. Kigali's tit-for-tat expulsions followed on Friday.
"We have expelled six S. African diplomats in reciprocity & concern at SA harboring of dissidents responsible for terrorist attacks in Rwanda," Rwandan Foreign Minister Louise Mushikiwabo said in a comment on her Twitter account.
South African police have also been investigating the New
Year's Eve murder in a posh Johannesburg hotel of another exiled Kagame opponent, former Rwandan spy chief Patrick Karegeya.Exiled Rwandan opposition members have accused Kagame and his government of being responsible for Karegeya's death and for attacks on Nyamwasa and other overseas-based critics.
They deny Kigali's charges that they are behind "terrorist" attacks in Rwanda.
"LONG OVERDUE"
Kagame and senior Rwandan officials have denied any involvement in the attacks on exiled opponents, but have called them traitors who should not expect forgiveness or pity.
Brian Dube, spokesman for South Africa's State Security Agency, would not comment on the expulsions but confirmed the country's security services had been looking into the attacks against the exiled Rwandans.
The United States in January expressed concern over what it called "politically motivated murders of prominent Rwandan exiles".
David Batenga, a nephew of the slain Rwandan spy chief Karegeya, called for the closure of the Rwandan embassy in South Africa.
"It's not an embassy, it's an operation center for planning missions to kill innocent civilians," he told Reuters.
Etienne Mutabazi, deputy chairman in South Africa of the opposition Rwanda National Congress, of which Karegeya and Nyamwasa were founding members, said the expulsion of the Rwandan diplomats was "long overdue" and called their activities "criminal".
"Diplomats are here to represent their country, they have immunity, but they should not abuse that immunity," he said.
In January, Kagame, who has won Western praise for rebuilding Rwanda after the 1994 genocide there, defended his nation's right to self-defense against those who "betray" it.
"We didn't do it, but my question is - shouldn't we have done it?" Kagame said at a January 12 prayer breakfast, clearly referring to Karegeya's death but without naming him.
"No one will betray Rwanda and get away with it. Regardless of who you are, there will be consequences," Kagame said.
Karegeya fled to South Africa in 2007 after allegedly plotting a coup against Kagame with Nyamwasa.
