Kagame devra être livré aux Rwandais pour répondre à ses crimes: la meilleure option de réconciliation nationale entre les Hutus et les Tutsis.
Let us remember Our People
Let us remember our people, it is our right
You can't stop thinking
Don't you know
Rwandans are talkin' 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
The majority Hutus and interior Tutsi are gonna rise up
And get their share
SurViVors are gonna rise up
And take what's theirs.
We're the survivors, yes: the Hutu survivors!
Yes, we're the survivors, like Daniel out of the lions' den
(Hutu survivors) Survivors, survivors!
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
et up, stand up, don't give up the fight
“I’m never gonna hold you like I did / Or say I love you to the kids / You’re never gonna see it in my eyes / It’s not gonna hurt me when you cry / I’m not gonna miss you.”
The situation is undeniably hurtful but we can'stop thinking we’re heartbroken over the loss of our beloved ones.
"You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom".

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

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

Fighting For Our Freedom?
KAGAME VS JUSTICE
Sunday, November 4, 2018
[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]
This article will demonstrate how fake news can intensify
conflict and suppress conversation about social issues. While motivations for using
fake news may vary, fake news consistently undermines citizens’ ability to
participate in the governance of their country and make important decisions
regarding the fate of their nation. What We See in Rwanda Is Not What We Get. Be the last to know😷😨😨😨😭😭
Just as a reminder : Fake news is a type of yellow journalism or propaganda that consists of deliberate disinformation or hoaxes spread via traditional print and broadcast news media or online social media.
Fake news :TV shows and news, news articles that are intentionally and verifiably false designed to manipulate people’s perceptions of reality has been used to influence politics and promote social and ethnic conflicts or conflict between countries. But it has also become a method to stir up and intensify internal social conflict while armed rebellions are created to destroy the existing government. Stories that are untrue and that intentionally mislead TV viewers and articles'readers have caused growing mistrust among Rwandans.
Relating to the unspeakable crimes committed in Rwanda by Kagame, his RPF and allies, the target was the real victim: the majority Hutu ethnic members and internal Tutsis, used as a bridge to seize power in Rwanda. For all here mentioned media and others, it was a Must-do to make the genocide happen. These messages were often inflammatory, sensationalistic, violent, and false.
Fake news:
The RPF, a Tutsi-dominated rebel army
Fake news:
Fake news :
"Olmost from ZERO"???, said Kagame, the Rwandan Hitler. They Believed it. They Believed Him.
Question more: Were or are RTL Belgium, CNN, BBC, New York Times,
La croix, and now France 24 and Jeune Afrique, Le soir with
Colette Brackmann editorially independent, meaning they set their own news
production agenda? They are influenced by billionaire owners, some politicians
or shareholders. Despite their different goals, they spread similar fake news
stories.
All in all: “There is a huge hope and belief that schools contribute to peace, but in Rwanda, there are ways in which they contribute to underlying conflict,” said Elisabeth King, author of From Classrooms to Conflict in Rwanda
School in Rwanda has become one of the RPF weapon to fuel fires of suspicion and conspiracy in the wake of major social tragedies : arbitrary arrests, assassinations, mass shootings, disappearances and imprisonments in particular.
At a ceremony in the capital Kigali, Paul Kagame, the Rwandan president, spoke of the immense strides made toward reconciliation. As he vowed “never again,” he also spoke of how young people were the “new Rwanda,” carrying with them the hopes of the country.
But the aphorism “history is written by the victors” holds true in Rwanda, where it is taught from the perspective of the Tutsi minority, which holds power.
Experts say this is fuelling ethnic tensions. As Marc Sommers, author of Stuck: Rwandan Youth and the Struggle for Adulthood, explains, crimes committed by Tutsis against Hutus are rarely discussed publicly. These include incidents after 1994, when groups associated with the Tutsi ruling party killed thousands of Hutu refugees who had fled to countries bordering Rwanda.
By focusing on the role of Hutu as perpetrators, the official version of history suggests “that all Hutu, by their nature are genocidaire … but the majority of people participated in genocide out of fear and confusion,” said Timothy Longman, director of the African Studies Centre at Boston University.
Although it is illegal to discuss ethnicity in public, Rwandan youth are well aware of who is Hutu and who is Tutsi, said Ms. King.
“They are being told that Hutu and Tutsi no longer exist, but people feel that identity is still important and power depends on it,” she said.
Representation or misrepresentation? The New York Times's framing of the 1994 Rwanda genocide
Rwanda's Untold Story Documentary
This World Rwanda's Untold Story BBC Documentary 2014 Twenty years on from the Rwandan genocide, This World reveals evidence that challenges the accepted story of one of the most horrifying events of the late 20th century. The current president of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, has long been portrayed as the man who brought an end to the killing and rescued his country from oblivion. FAKE NEWS
T The western press is still considered the most authentic and authoritative source of information about world events. Their technological wherewithal guarantees them unlimited access to every nook and cranny of the globe and they are able to be first with the news much of the time. In spite of these advantages the western press's coverage of African issues has been mired in controversy due to a number of alleged shortcomings. The Rwanda genocide of 1994 is one such issue where the western press has been found wanting. The catalogue of accusations ranges from their lack of enthusiasm to report on the genocide and failure to expose the underlying cause of the conflict, to distortions and ignorance of the socio-economic context of the genocide. Underpinned by the framing theory and employing textual analysis, this paper analyses the representation of the 1994 Rwanda genocide in order to understand the ideological imperatives underpinning such framing and the possible impact of such representation on public opinion and perceptions. In particular the paper seeks to identify aspects of the genocide which the newspaper accentuated and those that it sought to downplay. The paper argues that the New York Times's framing of the 1994 Rwanda genocide is colored by enduring nineteenth-century Eurocentric ideologies whereby Rwandan genocide is represented as yet another African tragedy signifying darkness and hopelessness.
Fake news websites promoted the lie by citing specific
locations such THE BAGOGWE MASS_SLAUGHTER, getting the story much additional attention. The
spread of information by the bove mentioned pro-RPF media that was knowingly false had FOR SURE deadly
consequences: the silence about the serial assassinations and massacre of Hutus in and outside of Rwanda (fake meetings of local Hutus (women and children) organized by RPF officers) in different Auschwitz areas in the northern region of Rwanda, Byumba and Ruhengeri provinces at one hand, and the Kibeho Auschwitz in the southern region in Gikongoro province.
Before the massacres take place, there was all the time a well-done propaganda of Muhabura RPF radio, Western pro RPF media and organizations such as the infamous Africa Rights and MSF headed by Bernard Kouchner.
Here next you will be understand why Alain Juppé reacted to Bernard Koouchner's fake new and lies.
The Bagogwe (Mutura, Kinigi, Ngororero and Bugesera) massacre (the most horrific incidents of violence committed by Kagame and his RPF officers) was a series of mass executions of RPF rebellion as this mass-slaughter was revealed by former RPF officers in the original video here below.
The Hutu ethnic group and majority of the Rwandan population at that time was wrongly and intentionally linked to the Bagogwe massacre in 1993 and July 1997 where Madeleine Albright and Suzanne Rice were invited to
1. The
Ruhengeri city attack of January 23, 1991: The RPF staged a night attack on the city
of Ruhengeri, resulting in heavy civilian casualties and heavy property damage.
The RPF opened the gates of Ruhengeri prison, freeing many prisoners and
enrolling them as fighters. The RPF also engaged in heavy looting activity in
the city, and a reported 400 people were forced out of their homes to help
carry the loot. These 400 civilians were all killed afterwards, along with another
100 civilians around
the city as the RPF retreated back into the volcano forest. (Abdul J. Ruzibiza,
Rwanda, L’Histoire Secrete, 2005, p. 132)
2. The Butaro massacre of May 1993
At Rusasa in the commune of Butaro, in
the province of Ruhengeri, the RPF attacked displaced people on a small island
in the swamps of Rugezi, destroying their shelters and killing their
goats and sheep. 150 people were reportedly killed in this attack. (Testimony provided by
witnesses, still living)
4.
The notorious Ruhengeri and Byumba
massacre of February 8, 1993: The RPF staged a major
attack in several communes of the Provinces of Ruhengeri and Byumba, killing
many people and inflicting heavy damage on state and privately-owned property.
During this attack, the RPF killed a total of 24,400 people in Ruhengeri, and of15,800 in Byumba. (James
K. Gasana, Rwanda: du parti-Etat a l’Etat garnison, 2002, p. 185)
5. The second TEST OF GENOCIDE : The political assassination of May 18, 1993: The RPF is reported to have killed Emmanuel
Gapyisi, a prominent political leader from the south and vice
president of the MDR party. He was one of the most clear-minded and respected
leaders of the MDR party. His killing removed a powerful RPF opponent because
Gapyisi was very critical of RPF violent methods and practices. But this also
was an extremely reckless crime capable of plunging the country into widespread
violence between southerners and northerners especially if the former came to
believe the latter had killed their man. Gapyisi’s
killing was among the first in a wave of assassinations nationwide targeting
Hutu political leaders, including businessmen, mayors, parliamentarians, and
leading up to the assassination of Gatabazi, Bucyana, and finally President
Habyarimana to realize and execute the expected genocide. Could you realize that? An investigation is no longer needed to clear the mystery of these
assassinations once and for all.
6. Other
crimes and terrorist acts: Throughout the year of
1993, Rwanda experienced a major spike in acts of armed
banditry, grenade attacks and mini-bus taxi explosions in several parts of the
country. According to several credible witnesses, among them
former RPF officer Lieutenant Abdul Rizibiza now in exile in Norway, the
acts were the work of infiltrated RPF hit squad members and spy operatives all
belonging to the “RPF Network”, who were assigned to spreading
violence and insecurity, thus rendering the country ungovernable in a bid to
overthrow the government and seize power by force. (Abdul J. Ruzibiza,
Testimony of Abdul Ruzibiza, March 14, 2004)
7. IV.
RPF CRIMES FROM JANUARY 1, 1995 TO PRESENT (NOVEMBER 8, 2006)
8. RPF
War Crimes, Crimes against Humanity, and Crimes of Genocide (January 1,1995 –
Present: November 8, 2006):
9. The
gruesome Kibeho massacre of April 17-23, 1995: an estimated 4000
internally displaced people were reported killed on the orders of
Major General Paul Kagame when army units collectively fired on the Kibeho camp
that was estimated to shelter about 100,000 people, indiscriminately killing
unarmed men, women, children, and many elderly. Paul Kagame, then vice
president and minister of defense, reportedly had established his local
operations headquarters in nearby Butare to closely supervise the siege and
dismantling of the Kibeho camp. It took one full night of non-stop
body disposal by truck towards the Nyungwe forest for mass incineration (many areas of the site were cordoned
off for supposed “security and military reasons”) before the RPF allowed
journalists, independent observers and UN monitors, to access the site. (Paul
Jordan, Witness to Genocide – A Personal Account of the 1995 Kibeho Massacre,
1998; Abdul J. Ruzibiza, Rwanda, L’Histoire Secrete, 2005)
10. This
was a well-publicized massacre brazenly carried out by the RPF government, in
the presence of the UN military contingent from Zambia and officials from NGO’s
assisting these refugees, and many pictures of which were taken and made
public. The simple question, then, is why hasn’t there been any independent
inquiry so that the perpetrators can be officially identified and punished?
11. The
deadliest year of 1996: the year of the infamous mass murder of refugees in
Zaïre (currently the Democratic Republic of the Congo) and forced deportation
of refugees: The
RPA army carried out perhaps the most brutal and genocidal campaign in modern
history by attacking the sprawling refugee camps in Goma and Bukavu in Zaïre,
home to an estimated 1 to 2 million Rwandan refugees. There is little doubt
that among these refugees were those who had participated in the mass killings
inside Rwanda 2 years before. But the RPA army put the guilty and the innocent
in the same bag, and indiscriminately fired on the camps and crowds of unarmed
fleeing refugees, especially women, children and the elderly who were the
weakest and unable to run fast, hunting down many of them like beasts deep into
the tropical Zairian forest all the way to Tingi Tingi and Mbandaka. By all
accounts, it is estimated this whole operation
claimed the lives of 400,000 Rwandan refugees. While this operation was underway, the
RPA army undertook one of the biggest deportation campaigns ever, by forcibly
(i.e. against their will) airlifting an estimated 700,000 refugees back to
their respective original communes in Rwanda. Then the RPF started a
long-running criminal process of killing these returnees, as a result of which
about 50% of the returnees are not living today. These horrific crimes, both in
Zaïre and in Rwanda, were executed with orders received from their leaders. (Testimony provided by witnesses,
still living; Marie Beatrice
Umutesi, Fuir ou Mourir au Zaire: Le vécu d’une réfugiée Rwandaise, 2000)
12. The
International Center for Human Rights and Democratic Development (CIDPDD), in
teaming with the African Association for the Defense of Human Rights in DRC
(ASADHO), concluded that “It
appears pertinently that the Rwandan government can be held accountable for war
crimes, crimes against humanity, and acts of genocide” in
their document entitled “Report of inquiry by the international non-government
commission on human rights violations in DRC (former Zaire) 1996-1998”, 1998,
p.78.
13. The
slaughter of the Nyarutovu wedding, January 18-19, 1997: In the night of January 18-19, 1997, the
RPF attacked and killed each and every one of the guests, including the bride
and groom and their parents, at a civil wedding in the home of Major Laurent
Bizabarimana in Nyarutovu in the northern province of Ruhengeri. 50
peoplewere collectively slaughtered that night. Major Laurent
Bizabarimana and his family had recently returned from Zaire during the massive
forced deportation by the RPF, and became victims of a brutal RPF nationwide
campaign inside Rwanda to eliminate “genocidaire elements” from among these returnees.
(Testimony provided by witnesses, still living)
14. The
horrors of the Nyakinama Cave, October 23-28, 1997: RPA soldiers are reported to have pursued
and killed8,000
unarmed civilians, especially women, children and the elderly who were too weak
to run who had
sought refuge in the cave of Nyakinama, in the commune of Kanama, to escape
indiscriminate shootings and bombings by the RPA in the area. RPA soldiers
reacted by lobbing grenades and other explosives into the cave, then went on to
seal off the entrance of the cave with rocks and gravel so no one would be able
to come out. ( Amnesty International, The dead can no longer be counted,
report, December 1997)
15. The
Hutu Christmas massacre of Kayonza, December 23-25, 1998: In the evening hours of December 23,
1998, a passenger on a
mini-bus taxi from Kigali got off near Nyagatare, and suddenly fired a gun into
the air before running off into the hills of near-by Ngarama. The next day,
people woke up to road blocks at Kayonza and Musha, and to military security
sweep operations in the surrounding communes of Ngarama, Muvumba, Murambi,
Kayonza, and Bicumbi. All taxis to and from Kigali were stopped and carefully
screened for Hutus, who were ordered out before the taxis were allowed to
resume their journey. These Hutus were then all executed using guns or used up
hoes, then loaded up onto trucks and shipped to humming incineration centers in
the Mutara region, with the ashes later dispersed into the Akagara National
Park. An estimated 5,000 innocent
civilians, including the cousin of one witness, perished in
this macabre 2-day operation. (Testimony provided by witnesses, still living)
16. The
brutal reprisal campaigns against Abacengezi (1997-2000) and the ethnic
cleansing of the Mutara region (1995 and after): From 1997 to around 2000, the RPF faced an increased
number of cross-border raids from Zaire into Rwanda carried out by remnants of
the previous army who called themselves “Abacengezi” (or inroad specialists).
Each time they attacked, the RPA army responded by unleashing a brutal reprisal
campaign targeting the civilian population, especially in the northwestern
provinces of Ruhengeri and Gisenyi, in order to break the will of the
insurgents, many of whom originated from these provinces. More
than 50,000 people were
killed in many communes of these 2 provinces from 1997 to 2000. In the
meantime, the RPF returned to the Mutara region in the northeast and started
where it had left off in cleansing the area of all ethnic Hutus. The RPF
decimated native Hutus, as well as other Hutus who had immigrated into this
once under-populated area from other parts of the country in search of land and
new jobs during the 1960’s, 1970’s, and 1980’s. The Mutara region is now the
new all-Tutsi land of Rwanda, complete with farms and cattle ranches for the
Tutsi herders. There have been reports that these ranching activities, in
search of grazing pasture, have led to severe encroachments into the adjacent
Akagera National Park, destroying the ecosystem of the area and the natural habitat
of many wild animals. (Testimony provided by witnesses, still living)
18. The
crime of denying people their right to seek medical treatment overseas: Since taking power in July 1994, theRPF
has put in place a criminal policy of systematic non-issuance of medical
treatment exit visas for people it wants to punish for multiple reasons. These
are mostly people who have voiced their criticism of the government or the
army, or are perceived to be in the political opposition, etc. One of the most
glaring cases is that of Father Andre Sibomana,former
Editor of the independent newspaper“Kinyamateka”, and a former interim Bishop of the
Diocese of Kabgayi after the assassination of Bishop Thaddee Nsengiyumva in
June 1994. He was a staunch social justice advocate and human rights activist
known for his editorials denouncing the excesses of the RPF regime. He was
never allowed to seek expert medical treatment overseas, and succumbed to his
illness in Kabgayi at the young age of 43 on March 7, 1998. Dr.
Jean Bagiramenshi, a veterinarian who worked for the government
and later consulted for the World Bank, was another victim of this policy. He
suffered from multiple ailments, including kidney malfunction and gout, and may
have had liver problems as well. He was prevented several times from seeking
medical treatment out of Rwanda on his own money, and by the time he was
allowed to leave, it was too late. He died in Belgium in 2005.Investigations must be carried out
to determine how many people have fallen victim to this criminal policy.(Testimony
provided by witnesses, still living)
19. RPF
death squads on the trail of opponents inside and outside Rwanda: On
May 5, 1998, former Interior Minister Seth
Sendashonga was assassinated in Nairobi, Kenya; on October
6, 1996, Colonel Theoneste Lizinde and businessman
Augustin Bugirimfura were
assassinated in Nairobi, Kenya; in the night of February 14-15, 1999, former
CEO of Rwanda African Continental Bank (BACAR) Pasteur
Musabe was
assassinated in Yaounde, Cameroon. Inside Rwanda, former Council of State
presidentVincent
Nsanzabaganwa was assassinated on February 14, 1997;
former presidential advisor Assiel Kabera was gunned down on March 5, 2000; on
April 7, 2003, parliamentarian Leonard Hitimana was assassinated, and no inquiry has
been conducted. Two weeks later on April 23, 2003, Colonel
Augustin Cyiza was
abducted and killed.Edouard
Mutsinzi, former editor of “Le Messager” newspaper in Kigali,
was abducted and beaten up, with his ribs broken, his eyes taken out, and his
brain damaged so bad that he lives in a vegetative state in Belgium. All the
victims were either critics of the government or potential compromising
witnesses in possession of top state secrets. These crimes and many others were
reported to have been committed by RPF death squad members assigned to do the
dirty work against RPF opponents in different world capitals. They must be
investigated, and their perpetrators brought to justice.
20. The
cruel and inhumane use of prisoners in de-mining operations: The
RPF has been reported sending hundreds to Hutu prisoners to their immediate
death by forcing them to run in areas where landmines are suspected of having
been planted by the ousted army, especially in the Bugesera region. These
allegations must be fully investigated and prosecuted. (Testimony provided by
witnesses, still living)
21. The
cruel and inhumane treatment and exploitation of Rwandan prisoners in the Congo
war for the profit of President Paul Kagame:
During the Congo war and the occupation of Eastern DRC by the RPA, reports
abounded about Rwandan prisoners being sent to die at the forefront of a brutal
war of occupation and exploitation of the DRC. There were also numerous reports
that hundreds, maybe thousands, of Rwandan prisoners were sent to RPA-occupied
areas of the Congo to work as forced labor in the digging of minerals,
especially Coltan, gold and diamonds, for the top brass members of the RPA
army, starting with President Paul Kagame himself. This was a flagrant
violation of international laws governing prisoners and a despicable trampling
of human dignity. A full investigation and prosecution of these crimes is
warranted. (Testimony provided by witnesses, still living)
22. VI.
FINAL OBSERVATIONS
23. When
this RPF crime compendium is released, I expect the RPF government to hit back
with blanket accusations, without any proof, that I am a “revisionist and a
negationist of the Rwandan genocide”, and that “I harbor an ideology of
genocide and divisionism”. The international community must take a very close
and careful look at such character assassination, and in many cases outright
persecution, of all real and perceived contrary opinion holders and political
opponents, social justice advocates and human rights critics in Rwanda by the
RPF government, and find a proper way to address it.
24. The
present compendium was conceived as an effort to document most reported
and under-reported crimes by the RPF organization as a predominantly Tutsi
rebel group and government with a view to bring to light its apparent share of
responsibility in the whole Rwandan tragedy. Even though it places a premium on
seemingly forgotten Hutu casualties, this document did not and does not intend
to belittle Tutsi and Twa casualties of the Rwandan genocide. All sons and daughters
of Rwanda, as well as foreigners who perished in this tragedy were a terrible
loss to humanity and must be equally mourned and remembered, regardless of
their ethnicity. We need to know with certainty who massacred the Bagogwe Tutsi
sub-clan of Gisenyi in 1991 and 1992. We need to know with certainty who
butchered the Banyamulenge Tutsis and Bagobwe Tutis sheltered at Mudende camps
in August, November, and December 1997. We need to know with certainty who
killed the American, British, Australian and New Zealand tourists at Bwindi
National Park in Uganda in 1999. Who killed the Spanish volunteers in Rwanda in
1997 and in Congo in the following years? Who abducted, mutilated and killed
former Rwandan cabinet minister Juvenal Uwiringiyimana before dumping his body
in a Brussels canal in December 2005? Was he or not a victim of the RPF death
squad in Europe as widely
suspected? The overall goal of this document is
to lift the cloud of mystery and secrecy hanging over the Rwandan tragedy. It
is to fight impunity and help bring equitable justice to Rwanda: whoever killed
a Tutsi must pay, whoever killed a Hutu must pay, whoever killed a Twa must
pay, and whoever killed a foreigner must pay.
25. Rwandan
President Paul Kagame is now widely believed to be behind the shooting down of
the aircraft carrying President Juvenal Habyarimana on that fateful night of
April 6, 1994. In that capacity, he is the suspected triggerman of the Rwandan genocide of 1994 and
the architect of the genocide after 1994. Kagame outright denies these
allegations. But a better way to refute the charges and clear his name once and
for all is to allow an independent investigation to look into these crimes. Of
course Kagame will never request
such an independent investigation, because he knows he is guilty. That’s why we
ask the UN to mandate the ITCR to investigate these tragedies not covered by
the current mandate.
26. The
provinces of Byumba and Ruhengeri did not experience the wave of genocidal
killings that engulfed the rest of the country in April 1994, because they were
already under RPF control. Yet, the vast majority of families currently living
in these regions (about 80% of all inhabitants of these areas) are made up of
widows and orphans, who tell stories of their husbands and fathers having been
killed by the RPF. International non-government organizations (NGO’s) have been
prohibited by the RPF government to go into these areas and assist these
widow-run families to move ahead, and to mend the traditional family nucleus
and the social fabric which have been completely shattered. Families in these
areas with a member in the previous government army have been especially
targeted and hit the hardest by the RPF. The simple question is this: why has
the international community remained blind in the face of such blatant
brutalization of human life? From 1990 to 1994, a reported 400,000 people have
died in these areas. Who killed them?
27. Reports
have circulated that many extremist RPF members in Kigali and other cities had
large caches of weapons in their residences, and had dug up very deep pits in
their backyards a few months before the genocide. What was the purpose of these
weapons and pits? There have been reports that in the ceasefire months leading
up to April 1994, many RPF youths received extensive fire arms training in the
CND parliament building housing the RPF battalion, and at the RPF headquarters
in Mulindi. Also, it is no secret that while the ruling MRND party had the
Interahamwe militia, the MDR party had the JDR (Democratic Republican Youth)
militia, and the PSD party had the Abakombozi militia, the RPF had a youth
militia of its own that inflicted as much damage as the other militias. An
independent inquiry of these facts is needed, and witnesses are available to
testify openly.
« Grâce au pape François, on assiste à une réconciliation entre le Rwanda et l’Eglise catholique »
« Un nouveau chapitre » s’est ouvert dans les relations entre l’Eglise catholique et le Rwanda. C’est ainsi que Paul Kagamé a salué sa rencontre, lundi 20 mars, au Vatican, avec le pape François. Sans évoquer la responsabilité du Vatican dans le génocide de 1994, qui a causé la mort d’au moins 800 000 Tutsi et opposants hutu, le pontife a imploré « le pardon de Dieu pour les péchés et les échecs de l’Eglise et de ses membres ».
En novembre 2016, les évêques du Rwanda avaient présenté des excuses pour la participation de catholiques, y compris des prêtres, au massacre, mais sans reconnaître les fautes de leur institution. Le gouvernement de Kigali avait alors considéré ces excuses comme « profondément inadéquates », considérant que, « au vu de l’échelle à laquelle ces crimes ont été commis, des excuses de la part du Vatican seraient amplement justifiées ».
At the same time we already know the following :
Fakes news: Radio Muhabura, the voice of the rebel front, quoted Lieut. Col. Frank Mugambaga, the rebel commander in the western town of Gitarama, as saying the bishops and priests were killed by "undisciplined soldiers" who had been sent to guard them. The soldiers thought these clergymen had been implicated in the earlier massacre of their own families, according to Colonel Mugambaga. He said the soldiers would be severely punished.
Last month Pope John Paul II asked the Security Council to declare the church center at Kabgaye,where some 30,000 refugees, mostly Tutsis, are sheltering, a safe area and to send United Nations forces to protect it. But the Council ignored the request and the tiny United Nations force in Kigali said it could not accept responsibility for Kabgaye unless it was reinforced. They knew who were the victims 😢😢😢😢, the Hutus that have to be blamed for everything 😠😠😠😠 to make IT happen: The Rwandan genocide
Fake news within the ongoing Kagame's whitewashing

Rebels in Rwanda Said to Slay 3 Bishops and 10 Other Clerics

28. The
killings in Rwanda in 1994 were called genocide. Today, the killings in Darfur
are being denounced as genocide. The killings in Zaire from 1996 to 2001, which
took the lives of more than 4 million innocent lives, were called just that:
killings. Where is the logic? Some of the perpetrators of the Rwandan genocide
have been punished, and from all indications the perpetrators of the Darfur
genocide will be punished, since the setting up of an International Criminal
Tribunal for Darfur is already in the works. That’s all good. But when are we
going to have the International Criminal Tribunal for Congo? When will the
perpetrators of the Zairian killings be punished? Never mind calling the
Zairian killings genocide, can their perpetrators at least be punished? There
are countries which do not have a total of 4 million inhabitants. That’s a lot
of people to kill and live freely ever after. We all know beyond a doubt that
the RPF committed these killings. You, the international community, can you
tell us who you hold responsible for these wholesale massacres? For the same
crimes, there must be the same punishments.
29. More
than 50% of current inmates in Rwanda have no official criminal charges against
them, but continue to be kept in jail and out of active life. The government
keeps the inmates on meager meals that must be supplemented with additional
food rations from their families, or they will die from hunger – when
they do not succumb to torture so rampant under different forms inside official
prisons throughout the country and inside hidden unofficial torture centers. In most cases, women, including
those educated, cannot keep a paying job because they need 2 to 3 hours per day
to go feed their husbands in jail. No employer will agree to so much time off
every day. This means that for the 100,000
married men in prison, there are 100,000 women not working, or a total of
200,000 people not actively contributing to the economy. With an average of 4
children per Rwandan household, that’s a total of 400,000 children nationwide
that lack parental guidance and money to attend school. And all of a sudden,
the grim picture of the legacy of the RPF regime comes into full focus: the
pauperization and illiterate-ization of an entire generation of Rwandans. If this is not slow genocide,
then genocide does not exist. Truthfully, there are 5 main factors
of genocide: bad leadership, bad media, impunity,
poverty, and lack of education. Today, all these 5
genocide factors are in place in Rwanda. The height of injustice in Rwanda can
be summed up this way: manyinnocent Hutu
civilians are in jail, while all criminal RPF elements are free. Where
is the UN while all of this is happening? There cannot be any possible
reconciliation in any nation where one part of the population is having a field
day at the expense of the other part of the population on its knees.
30. Joseph
Matata, a Rwandan human rights advocate who heads the Brussels-based “Center
against Impunity and Injustice in Rwanda”, has reported that about 100 ex-FAR
military officers are jailed at the Kibungo military prison since April 1999.
An additional 37 or so ex-FAR military officers remain unaccounted for, while
many other former comrades have been summarily executed [Report
of April 14, 1999].The “official” political parties in Rwanda today
function under the umbrella of the so-called “Forum of Parties” where the RPF
is sole master. In view of all this, the question is this: Does the Arusha
Peace Agreement of August 1993, painfully reached between the then-RPF rebels
and the then-government, and which called for a merger of the 2 fighting armies
and free political activity in Rwanda, have any relevance left?
31. Contraryto RPF claims, there is no peace in Rwanda. That explains why far too many
Rwandans continue to flee overseas and are easily granted asylee or refugee
status. How long is the RPF going to use genocide as a pretext to stifle
democracy and entrench one of the most predatory dictatorships ever? Political
opposition is completely muzzled. How long will the people of Rwanda continue
to die a slow death? Former President Pasteur Bizimungu and his collaborators,
such as Charles Ntakirutinka, are rotting in jail for having started a
political party. In fact, in Rwanda there is no shortage of political
prisoners, prisoners of opinion, prisoners of hate, prisoners of race, etc.,
and Colonel Stanislas Biseruka, reporter Dominique Makeri, and Colonel Patrick
Karegeya are only a handful in a long list. You, the ICTR, whose original
mandate was to reconcile the Rwandan people among other things, what is going
to be your legacy for Rwanda when your time expires?
32. The
recent brutal killing of many businessmen among them Fulgence Nsengiyumva of
Gitarama, aged 49, by the RPF government army on August 6, 2006 must be
condemned vehemently. His wife is being persecuted for reclaiming the
confiscated truck that belonged to him, and their 5 innocent children will be
traumatized for the rest of their lives. The recent arrest, search and strip of
old women in an open market place by RPF police in broad day light as a way to
humiliate and force all old and barefoot women to never set foot in a market
place again, is abhorrent and must be condemned vehemently. The on-going
campaign to ban bicycles and motorcycles from cities, especially Kigali, as
well as the on-going campaign to raze all banana plantations, is an act of
economic depredation on the Rwandan population by its RPF government and willresult in the starvation of the masses. It must be condemned vehemently.
The on-going campaign to expel from Kigali city all the poor, all AIDS orphans, all war widows and war invalids, is criminal. It all started with a seemingly simple desire to take the poor away from the city, then the campaign targeted the bare-foot crowd, then those wearing sandals and slippers, then the pedestrians, then the bicyclists, and finally the motorcyclists. Who is it going to be next? There is clearly a pattern of criminal exclusion that must be condemned. In reality, this whole campaign is an empty attempt by RPF rulers to project to visitors and donors the deceptive impression that Kigali in particular, and Rwanda in general, are well-managed to deserve more financial aid. Chasing all these poor people away from the city without addressing the root cause of their misery is a window dressing, whitened-sepulcher, or sweep-under-the-rug type of approach to development, and it obviously can’t help any poor Rwandan. It can’t fool any foreign donor country either. So the simple question to the United Nations is this: why are the people of Rwanda being so toyed with, persecuted and killed by their own government in this fashion and nothing is being done about it?

33. Finally,
what is Presidential Immunity? It seems to mean that someone can kill
all the people he or she wants, and not worry about any consequences as long as
he or she is president of a given country! We are in the 21st century, and humanity sure can come up
with better laws.
34. VII.
GENERAL CONCLUSION:
35. The
above list of RPF crimes is by no means exhaustive.
There are reports of countless RPF crimes before 1994, in 1994, and after 1994
that could not be compiled in this document. For example, in the small eastern
town of Muhura as the RPF marched onto Kigali in the Spring of 1994, General
Paul Kagame himself is reported not only having given direct orders to fire on
crowds of wandering displaced people, but also having personally sprayed
bullets into these crowds with his own machine gun. An investigation of this
massacre is needed, and witnesses are available to tell the story.
36. Currently,
there is a general, state-sponsored crime being perpetrated by the RPF
government against an entire segment of the Rwandan population, specifically
Hutus, through the
infamous Gacaca Courts. The RPF government is attempting to
incriminate the biggest number of Rwandans possible by officially labeling them
“killers” or “genocidaires”, thus ostracizing them from public life and
creating a caste of second class citizens or “untouchables”. Gacaca trials are
an age-old, small-courts-type Rwandan tradition designed to settle only
misdemeanors, such as stealing a cow, a goat, or chickens, and minor land
disputes between neighbors. By its nature, a Gacaca trial does not require
judges and jurors to have law school training and degrees, only common sense. Conversely,
the crime of genocide is so grave by nature that it cannot be tried in a Gacaca
court, with semi-literate judges and jurors, and with no legal defense, without
being diminished and debased.
37. The
justice system in place wants detainees to admit to the crime of killing if
they want to be freed. Then, they head to a local Gacaca court where they not
only must confess (and explain) their crimes but also reveal and denounce other
killers. Anything short of this is a half-confession and not acceptable, and
the suspect must go back to jail. In other cases, witnesses are produced from
the woodwork to incriminate suspects for crimes they never committed. Very
clearly, there is an attempt here on the part of the RPF government to humilia
te and exterminate an entire people.
38. I,
Paul Rusesabagina, personally know of specific cases where this has happened.
The international community must condemn this abhorrent system and demand its
immediate abolition.

In 2010, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights published a report documenting serious violations of international humanitarian law in DR Congo between 1993 and 2003.
It estimated tens of thousands of civilians, mainly Rwandan Hutu refugees and Congolese Hutus, were killed.
It accused Rwanda of war crimes and suggested certain crimes committed in the DR Congo between 1996 and 1998 could amount to genocide against the Hutu population - accusations flatly rejected by Rwanda's government.
The Congolese government says it has asked for help to set up a tribunal to look into these alleged crimes as it cannot do so on its own.
"My heart holds many secrets," says Jean-Marie, his eyes glazed with alcohol.
"But my sons should know where their grandfather was killed. They should know why my hands were tied."
Still looking lost in his memories, he says: "It's true that God forgives, but this always stays in your heart."

[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]
La corruption politique est un détournement de l'utilisation du pouvoir public dans le but d'en retirer des avantages illégaux, cela intéresse le monde politique (hommes politiques, partis politiques, élus, membres du gouvernement).
“Je prévois que la Francophonie finira mal”, a-t-il déclaré à l’AFP. Cette organisation “est supposée promouvoir les valeurs de langue française et les droits de la personne humaine. On comprend mal pourquoi le président Macron a imposé la candidature d’un ressortissant du Rwanda”.
Qu'est-ce que la corruption?
Définir la corruption n'est pas aisé compte tenu précisément desvariations culturelles dans la hiérarchie des valeurs, dans la définition réciproque du public et du privé, dans l'attitude plus ou moins laxiste des élites et de l'opinion publique. La corruption peut être définie comme un échange clandestin entre deux “marchés”, le “marché politique et/ou administratif” et le marché économique et social. Cet échange est occulte car il viole des normes publiques, juridiques et éthiques et sacrifie l'intérêt général à des intérêts privés (personnels, corporatistes, partisans, etc.).
Emmanuel Macron (39 ans) et sa femme Brigitte Macron (63 ans) Rien d'étonnant sur sa prise de décision de soutenir le Hitler Rwandais. |
Enfin, cette transaction qui permet à des acteurs privés d'avoir accès à des ressources publiques (contrats, financements, décisions,...), de manière privilégiée et biaisée (absence de transparence, de concurrence) procure aux acteurs publics corrompus des bénéfices matériels présents ou futurs pour eux-mêmes ou pour l'organisation dont ils sont membres. La corruption s'exprime donc avec intensité à l'interface du public et du privé et en particulier dans les secteurs où le décideur public n'est pas soumis à des règles totalement contraignantes.
La corruption, dans unEtat de droit démocratique, n'a que de rares occasions de se développer là où le fonctionnaire ou l'homme public ne peut que répondre positivement au citoyen si les conditions requises sont réunies: la délivrance d'un passeport, le paiement de prestations sociales sont soumises à des règles strictes qui ne laissent guère de marge d'appréciation au fonctionnaire.
“Scandals can be seen as proof of both the manufunctioning and the good functioning of the political system. They illustrate the malfunctioning, but the very fact that they are disclosed shows that the political system is willing (albeit sometimes reluctantly) to deal with these aberrations. The question remains, though, why scandals are so frequently reported today. It is because morals standards have changed? It is because volatility is higher, which induces fierce campaigning, including the exposure of scandals in order to disqualify the opponent? In other words are there more scandalous acts in politics nowadays than in former days or are these kinds of acts simply more often disclosed than before?”
Macron, President Rothschild
Pour comprendre ce qui ce passe aujourd'hui: Emmanuel Macron a travaillé pour la banque d’affaires Rothschild & Cie de 2008 à 2012.La corruption n'est pas seulement une relation dyadique entre corrupteurs et corrompus mais une relation triangulaire dans laquelle à l'occasion du scandale ou de la révélation des faits cachés, apparaît l'opinion, les citoyens. Dans un système de corruption extrême et pratiquée quasiment à visage découvert, la relation entre élus et citoyens est estompée par une relation de dépendance personnelle et clientéliste qui détruit le lien civique remplacé par l'allégeance. Cette communauté délinquante ne se brise que lorsque l'efficacité distributive du système corrompu s'épuise faute notamment de ressources suffisantes. Là en revanche où la corruption fait scandale, c'est le lien de confiance entre élites et électeurs qui s'affaiblit ou se rompt.
Why do all dictator regimes encourage corruption?
Corruption, in some form, exists in all countries. It is generally done by people in a position of power, for instance a cop taking a bribe to rip up a parking ticket, or more in other instances, politicians taking a kickback for approving zoning changes.
Since corruption occurs by people in positions of power, it stands to reason that they are more likely to be selectors in a dictatorship. The dictator thus depends upon their support, and so will move to protect them against threats. This I hope helps answer your question.
I believe that democratic countries have a lesser problem with corruption. This is due to democratic ideals such as freedom of the press. While it is debatable how free the press of any nation is, they tend to be more free in democratic countries. Their voice gives them a position to investigate corruption and report on it to the public. The main thing politicians fear are being thrown out of office and jail. In autocratic countries, the press is often curtailed, and reports about corruption can often be met with retribution. This is only one example, there are certainly many more, and this isn't to say that corruption does not exist in democratic countries, it does.
Government By Corruption
Corruption is universally viewed as a scourge. It stifles commerce, perverts governments and breeds social injustice. The most common cause of corruption is believed to be a combination of discretion and accountability. Governments with enormous discretionary power and low accountability are more corrupt than those with less discretion and more accountability. This observation has led us to seek institutional reforms that would grant governments less discretionary power, while making them more accountable to the people.
So far, so good. But in our quest to rid the world of corruption, we often forget one elemental truth--corruption may be a scourge for the ordinary people, but it is a vital governing tool for authoritarian regimes.
Of course, corruption exists in democracies as well, but such corruption, petty in both nature and sum, is fundamentally different from the massive looting by autocrats in dictatorships. That is why the least corrupt countries, with a few exceptions, all happen to be democracies, and the most corrupt countries are overwhelmingly autocracies. In Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index 2008, which covered 180 societies, 90% of the 60 least corrupt societies in the world are democracies. France is the more corrupted western country.
It often takes a curiously long time for European countries to repatriate such funds to their country of origin; legal questions, ignored when the money was first ‘invested’ or laundered, suddenly emerge.
Perhaps surprisingly, the most successful was the United States. In 1977 President Jimmy Carter signed the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), powerful legislation that to this day punishes US companies who bribe their way through deals. In 2011, the OECD figures showed that 58 individuals and 28 American companies were sanctioned under the FCPA.
Compare this to the numbers from Europe. In 2011 Sweden, France and the UK – all countries with huge arms industries, which sell in countries known to be corrupt – between them managed to prosecute just nine individuals and two companies for foreign bribery.
In June, the OECD was forced to issue a statement describing Sweden’s anti-bribery laws as “far too weak”, and demanding change. Spain prosecuted no one in 2011; nor did the Netherlands. Australia had never successfully prosecuted anyone for overseas bribery, despite serious allegations against some of its firms. In other words, the West is not just hiding the money of dictatorships – it is paying it to them.
Civil War Complicity
The UK and other European governments make very little effort to deter foreign officials from hiding their shadowy fortunes in European bank accounts and real estate. The “freezing” of assets only takes place once a dictator is out of power, or about to be.
These “freezings” fulfil three purposes for European governments: they make them appear committed to freedom and transparency; they let the dictator’s replacements know that Europe is on “their side”; and they also let these replacements know that if they wish to stash their own ill-gotten assets overseas, Europe is there to help.
It should also be noted that Europe makes very little effort to prevent its companies from bribing these corrupt leaders to secure lucrative government contracts. For the past three years the OECD has collected data for the number of foreign-bribery convictions secured by the richest countries against their own citizens and corporation.This approach makes Western governments directly complicit in the kind of civil war now racking Syria. As a dictatorship becomes more corrupt, it becomes less likely to hand over power peacefully. A leader who has ruled honestly does not stand to lose a vast fortune if he steps aside, or to be prosecuted for embezzlement. Indeed, he or she may even benefit financially- the Mo Ibrahim Foundation offers a $5 million and a lifetime salary to former African leaders who governed responsibly.
Corrupt dictators have the opposite set of incentives. If they lose power, they lose everything. Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad is a prime example of this trend. The UK has now “frozen” an astonishing £100 million linked to Assad and his clique.
Some estimates put Assad’s fortune at almost £1 billion, distributed across a variety of money-laundering centres aside from the UK. However, if he loses power in the revolution, his replacements are certain to demand this money back.
Some estimates put Assad’s fortune at almost £1 billion, distributed across a variety of money-laundering centres aside from the UK. However, if he loses power in the revolution, his replacements are certain to demand this money back.
It is therefore little wonder that Assad, like Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi, has refused to step down or to accept offers of exile to avert Syria’s increasingly bloody civil war. Charges of grand corruption and money laundering will follow him wherever he goes.
What reason, then, does he have to fear prosecution for war crimes? In any scenario, the result is likely to be a long prison term, or worse. The best Assad can hope for is impoverished exile. Had Europe not made it quite so easy for Syria’s dictator and his friends to stash their assets, he would not now be clinging so tenaciously to power.
My book The Economics of Killing explores this connection between corruption and war which has been demonstrated many times over, particularly in the world’s poorest countries. Yet Western countries continue to accept the billions stolen by dictators, with no questions asked, and no thought of the consequences for peaceful transitions of political power. If we are to stop global conflicts, severing this corrupt relationship between the global North and South must become a priority
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

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

Everything happens for a reason
Bad things are going to happen in your life, people will hurt you, disrespect you, play with your feelings.. But you shouldn't use that as an excuse to fail to go on and to hurt the whole world.
