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

Every year in the first week of April Western media venues are flooded with stories that begin with statements about the anniversary of the Rwandan genocide, “where at least 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus died at the hands of Hutu extremists.”
Such stories recount the official narrative about the ‘Genocide in Rwanda’, a narrative that has five or six key elements that have been almost canonized and are repeated robotically by Western English-speaking news consumers from all walks of life, economic classes, and political leanings.
1. At least 800,000 people killed;
2. Mostly ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus;
3. Slaughtered with machetes (and picks, hoes, adzes, other crude tools);
4. It was meaningless tribal savagery;
5. Committed by Hutu extremists;
6. In 100 days of genocide;
7. We (Westerners) were ‘bystanders’ and did nothing.
These jingoistic phrases have been systematically cemented into the minds of Westerners through more than 20 years of insidious Western media propaganda, including the printed word, radio programs, still photographs, video and film, and they are generally reproduced ad nauseum by emergent ‘social’ media.
There is little truth to the official narrative.
‘Tutsis as victims, Hutus as oppressors?’
Twenty years after the pivotal events of 1994, it is time that Western media ‘news’ consumers – scholars, peace workers, academics, clergy, politicians, humanitarian aid workers, everyone – took responsibility for their own participation in the ‘Rwanda Genocide’ hysteria or, as it is, industry.
Let’s set the stage for the so-called ‘100 days of Genocide’ that purportedly began April 6, 1994, and purportedly ended July 15, 1994, in Rwanda. We can offer some critical facts that anyone who wants to mourn and sob about life and death in Rwanda ought to understand before they open their mouths and display sheer ignorance.
To begin with, ‘Hutu’ and ‘Tutsi’ are socio-economic and socio-political categories: these are not ‘tribes’. Most of the ‘Rwanda Genocide’ narrative is mythology relying on simplifications, stereotypes and reductionisms about Hutus and Tutsis as tribal savages. This stuff is right out of Tarzan movies.
Prior to the imperial occupation that began after 1890, ‘Tutsi’ kings ruled Ruanda-Urundi. ‘Tutsi’ cattle herders comprised some 20 percent of the population, ruling over the 80 percent ‘Hutu’ majority with egregious violence. First the Germans (to 1916) then the Belgians (to 1960) ruled ‘their’ colony by nurturing a ‘Tutsi’ power structure to exploit the ‘Hutu’ masses. The ‘Tutsi’ comprador class served the colonial occupation, where brutality, slavery and terrorism were used to keep the ‘Hutu’ masses in the fields. A ‘Tutsi’ could lose all his cattle and descend into the ranks of the peasant ‘Hutu’ agriculturalists and, though far less likely, a ‘Hutu’ could gain cattle and join the Tutsi elites. The colonial fathers issued ID cards, measured noses and cranial dimensions, and duly clarified who be ‘Hutu’ and who be ‘Tutsi’. There was, of course, much money to be made.
Witnessing the global ‘Third World’ independence (sic) movements of the 1950s, and supported by the Belgian Catholic priests, the ‘Hutus’ in Rwanda overthrew the ‘Tutsi’ monarchy in the ‘revolution’ of 1959-1960. Some people died, some people fled, some people stayed, and the next 30 years saw majority ‘Hutu’ rule, with Rwanda under constant attack by elite ‘Tutsi’ guerrillas.
Noting the winds of change, Belgium quickly swapped their support to the Hutu majority, established a comprador class of ‘Hutu’ elites, and protected their interests. There was, of course, much money to be made. Thousands of elite ‘Tutsis’ connected to the former power structure fled to Uganda, Tanzania, Europe and North America.
At the height of the Cold War, the elite ‘Tutsi’ refugees (sic) influenced the Non-Aligned Movement – newly-independent (sic) states like Brazil, India, Malaysia, etc. – screaming bloody murder and “We are the victims of imperial aggression!” all the while. This is the falsified history of ‘Tutsis’ as ‘victims’ inculcated by the arrogant elite ‘Tutsi’ rulers. These facts are key to the official narrative: Tutsis as victims, Hutus as oppressors.
Like any monarchy, the ‘Tutsi’ elites believe(d) they are God’s Chosen People, the Jews of Africa, the natural-born rulers over millions of Hutu (and Tutsi) peasants.
Adopted by the Non-Aligned Movement – funded, armed, trained outside Rwanda – the elite ‘Tutsi’ guerrillas attacked Rwanda throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, sowing the most egregious terrorism, usually under cover of night. Every time the ‘Tutsi’ guerrillas attacked Rwanda – whether from outside during the 1960s or from inside during the 1990s – the in-country French-speaking ‘Tutsis’ suffered reprisals. The ‘Tutsis as victims’ narrative continued to expand, and while the Hutus were blamed for atrocities, usually retaliatory, the ‘Tutsi’ were coddled and protected.
Guerrilla incursions involved bombings of cafes, nightclubs, bars, restaurants and buses. The very real suffering of the French-speaking ‘Tutsi’ people inside Rwanda – those who ‘stayed behind’ – was written off by the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF, a ‘Tutsi’ political party created in 1987 by the Tutsi refugee diaspora in Uganda, now the ruling party in Rwanda) as collateral damage. The English-speaking Ugandans, the elite ‘Tutsi’ refugees (sic), who had Ugandan citizenship and high posts in the Ugandan military, defined them as Hutu collaborators. The RPF didn’t care whether they lived or died.
The foreign element
Enter, by coup d’etat, the Hutu President Juvenal Habyarimana, who ruled Rwanda from 1973 to April 6, 1994, backed by France. Historically, France was to Africa what the United States was to Latin America. Britain and Portugal controlled a few protectorates, Belgium plundered the Congo and Ruanda-Urundi, but Francophone power in Africa was vast, deeply entrenched and militarily brutal.
Habyarimana ran a one-party dictatorship, but French-speaking Tutsis who stayed behind were able to achieve some economic status, though they were kept in check, given their small numbers. Of course, this wasn’t good enough for the elite ‘Tutsis’ outside Rwanda. The United States, Canada, Britain and Israel wanted more of the African pie, and Paul Kagame was the man to get it for them.
English-speaking ‘Tutsis’ who grew up in Uganda – Paul Kagame, James Kabarebe, Fred Rwigyema, Patrick Karegeya, Laurent Nkundabatware, and thousands of others – were the soldiers of Yoweri Museveni’s guerrilla army. They committed massive atrocities in Uganda, (1980-1985), where absolute terrorism was used to remove a socialist government run by an ungrateful African. The victims in Uganda were also blamed for genocide, turning the truth upside-down. This is how Museveni and Kagame – his director of military intelligence – brought Uganda back in line with the geopolitical dictates of the West: aka disaster capitalism. There was, of course, a lot of money to be made.
They burned entire villages. The RPF deceived peasants into coming to meetings only to obliterate them coldly. The RPF even created crematoriums to ‘disappear’ the skeletons and skulls, until they realized the efficacy of the model of the Jewish Holocaust death camp memorials: pile up shoes, clothing, skeletons and skulls; create an industry whose currency is the moral outrage and psychological terror of ‘genocide’. And please do not be confused: nothing is more terrifying to the Western psyche. (Of course, the same ‘device’ was created and used by the Museveni terror apparatus in the Lowero Triangle of Uganda, but it was preceded by Cambodia, where Pol Pot was the preeminent demon of the day, and the carpet-bombing, napalm strikes, or terror operations like Project Phoenix are dismissed.)
Media war
The New York Times led the charge into Rwanda, and the Western media continued to beat the ‘Tutsis as victims’ drum roll. There was, after all, a lot of money to be made. Wall Street vultures began drooling. Military and intelligence operatives like David Kimche (Israel) and Roger Winter (USA) jockeyed for position – organizing logistics, maintaining supply chains, arranging weapons shipments – to support ‘our’ man Kagame and our proxy guerrilla army, the RPF. The Washington Post, Boston Globe, CNN, the Observer all described the RPF guerrillas as a highly ‘disciplined’ army: if any woman was raped or civilian massacred, it was an accident, a rogue soldier, and said soldier would be duly punished (of course, they never were).
Paul Kagame put into practice what his teachers, the military strategists at the US Army Command and Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas (USA), taught him: psychological operations and how to overthrow a country.
As the English-speaking ‘Tutsis’ marched into Rwanda they conscripted and lured ‘Tutsi’ youth to the ‘freedom’ cause. These were young French-speaking Tutsis who were also subjected to Kagame’s ruthless modus operandi: many of them were tortured, killed, disappeared, but many survived the initiation into the RPF. Kagame and his elite Ugandan comrades didn’t trust Tutsis who had stayed behind, and they clearly sacrificed the French-speaking Tutsis of Rwanda for the cause of absolute military power.
While the power of the Rwandan Patriotic Army grew day by day, supplied from Uganda, funded by World Bank loans to Museveni, the Habyarimana government was attacked on all fronts, shackled with debt, weapons blockades, demonized by the international press, the humanitarians (sic) and world opinion.
Meanwhile, next door in Burundi, the elite ‘Tutsi’-dominated regime committed a genocide in 1972: some 200,000 to 300,000 mostly Hutu people were raped, tortured, and massacred, while hundreds of thousands more fled to neighboring countries, including Rwanda. The preeminent Africa scholar Rene Lemarchand describes this as a genocide ‘denied and forgotten’.
Instead of punishing the invading ‘Tutsi’ Ugandan forces, led by Kagame, the world punished the Habyarimana regime: political pluralism, multiparty elections, peace accords assuring power-sharing for the RPF: no diplomatic or political sacrifice was enough. Meanwhile, Kagame and the RPF grew in strength and numbers, better equipped, better trained, striking under cover of night like cockroaches – Inyenzi – the term that Tutsi guerrillas of the 1960s proudly self-identified with.
Just as Museveni had infiltrated, massacred and terrorized Uganda (1980-1985), the RPF infiltrated soldiers disguised as civilians into Hutu villages, Hutu political parties, even into Hutu youth groups organized to defend Rwanda from the invading terrorist guerrillas. While the RPF used the airwaves to terrorize the people, scapegoat and stereotype enemies real and perceived, and whip up fear of ‘Hutu power’ – the same kinds of nasty propaganda, often sexualized, used by the Kagame regime to demonize its detractors from the West even today – we only even hear about ‘Hutu power’ hate radio.
April 6, 1994, President Habyarimana, his chief of staff, the president of Burundi, the French pilots – all murdered over Kigali in the surface-to-air missile attack on the presidential jet. Here is another pivotal world event that should be commemorated and remembered: the RPF assassination of two presidents.
The Western media soon began describing this terrorist action as ‘a mysterious plane crash’ and, using the now-entrenched upside-down narrative that defined ‘Tutsis’ the victims and ‘Hutus’ as killers, the double-presidential assassinations were blamed on Hutu ‘extremists’.
The United States blocked every attempt to investigate the ‘plane crash’ and the International Criminal Tribunal on Rwanda (ICTR) suppressed any evidence that emerged, even removing officials who touched the truth too closely. Kagame, all the while was crying crocodile tears, screaming “We are the victims of genocide,” confronting the West with its blatant ‘moral failure’ to abide the slogan ‘never again’.
Real Hutu extremists
What is a Hutu extremist? According to the official mythology, a ‘Hutu extremist’ is a Hutu who ruthlessly and coldly set out to wipe every Tutsi off the face of the earth. In reality, a Hutu ‘extremist’ was any Hutu who saw total war coming at the hands of their erstwhile elite Tutsi oppressors. A Hutu ‘extremist’ was someone who understood only too well that the elite ‘Tutsis’ invading from Uganda, the elite ‘Tutsis’ massacring thousands of people, the elite ‘Tutsis’ (read RPF) infiltrating of social, economic, military and political institutions in Rwanda, the elite ‘Tutsi’ Inyenzi bombings of public places and their assassinations of countless political figures and pesky Rwandan journalists, or the elite ‘Tutsis’ slaughtering of thousands of innocent Hutu men, women and children and wiping entire Hutu villages off the map, that these were very real certainties that Hutu’s had a right and necessity to defend themselves against.
What is a Hutu ‘moderate’? Any Hutu who believed that the RPF offered a democratic alternative to one-party dictatorship, that Paul Kagame was sincere in his proclamations of political pluralism, freedom and brotherhood. These were empty promises.
The genocide of the majority Hutu people, launched October 1, 1990, proceeded unabated during the RPF march to power in Rwanda, and it was even more clearly executed during the RPF hunting and slaughtering of hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children – mostly Hutus – in the Congo. These were organized campaigns of genocide, with intent to rape, murder and disappear Hutu people because they were Hutu people, and the perpetrators were the elite ‘Tutsis’ from Uganda.
No such planning or organization of genocidal intent has been proven against the Hutu government of Juvenal Habyarimana - which, in any case, was decapitated on April 6, 1994 - or against the Interim Hutu government that briefly held sway after April 6, 1994, and the judges at the ICTR have found as such. There were indeed hundreds of thousands of French-speaking Tutsis raped, brutalized and massacred in what amount to very real acts of genocide in Rwanda, and these occurred over the now sacred ‘100 days of genocide’. But there were also hundreds of thousands of Hutus killed, and far more Hutu than Tutsi.
Hutu lands were cleared of their owners, taken by foreign ‘Tutsi’ who flooded in on the heels of the RPF. And by the way, practically everyone in Rwanda owns a machete; there were massive imports in January of 1994, by a British citizen; purchases of machetes occurred using World Bank funds, for agricultural use, not for an evil genocide conspiracy. Anyway, the RPF routinely killed people with machetes, to save on bullets, and disguise the perpetrators.
And today, terror reigns silently in Rwanda.
Facts don’t seem to matter however, because Western hysteria has been whipped up by the media, the Pentagon, the intelligence sector, and by the Kagame regime. The Western psyche has been indoctrinated to believe exactly what Kagame and his benefactors want us to believe. We stood by, we did nothing, we should have stopped ‘the genocide’.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
There was a coup d’etat in Rwanda. The victors, the oppressors, the killers have been applauded, shielded, and/or hidden from the eyes of the world. A proxy army of elite ‘Tutsis’ murdered with abandon in Burundi, Uganda, Rwanda, and Congo, where they are still murdering with abandon.
The real coup d’etat has been the brainwashing of the Western mind and psyche, transforming rational discerning individuals into hysterical self-congratulatory humanitarians (sic), unable to separate truth from lie, and certain of their conclusions, no matter how erroneous. Just show them a machete, or a skull, or a weeping ‘Tutsi’ ‘survivor’ of ‘genocide’ and you can count on their compliance in commemorating the anniversary of ‘Genocide’ in Rwanda, and bowing at the feet of Paul Kagame. There is, of course, much money to be made.

How to Start a Revolution
To create a
revolution, you need to unite people around a shared purpose. It’s possible to
start a revolution, although it can take a lot of patience, organization, and
passion. It will be more likely to succeed if you don’t wing it. A revolution
(from the Latin revolutio, "a turnaround") is a significant change
that usually occurs in a short period of
time.
Unlike a violent revolutionary challenge, the compatibility between
nonviolence and democracy/human rights makes unarmed revolutionary movements
existential threats to any dictator closely aligned with some of the western countries.
However, the counterpoint also holds: Tyrants free of this constraint can — and
likely will — use uncompromising violence against their own citizens, a
lesson that has been reinforced in bloody fashion by events in Libya and Syria
since 2011.
1.
The people should overthrow the Rwandan dictator (often put in
place by foreign agencies) and throw him, along with his henchmen and family,
out of the country – e.g., the Shah of Iran, Marcos of Philippines. Compaore of
Burkina Faso
2.
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”.
https://youtu.be/FnYdqbe7qnY
3.
Foreign powers march in and remove the dictator (whom they either
instated or helped earlier) – e.g. IDI Amin in Uganda, Saddam Hussein of Iraq or Manuel Noriega of
Panama.
4.
The dictator kills himself in an act of desperation – e.g.,
Hitler in 1945.
5.
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).
6.
Organize 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, Recently in
Burkina Faso with the dictator Blaise Compaoré.
7.
Rwandans organize a violent revolution and have the dictator
killed – e.g., Ceaucescu in Romania.
Comment lancer
une Révolution
Pour créer une révolution, il faut unir les gens
autour d'un objectif commun. Il est possible de lancer une révolution, même si
cela peut demander beaucoup de patience, d'organisation et de passion. Elle
aura plus de chances de réussir si vous ne la faites pas voler. Une révolution
(du latin revolutio, "un revirement") est un changement important qui
se produit généralement en peu de temps.
Contrairement à un défi révolutionnaire violent, la
compatibilité entre la non-violence et la démocratie / les droits de l'homme
fait des mouvements révolutionnaires non armés des menaces existentielles pour
tout dictateur étroitement aligné sur l'Occident et dépendant de lui.
Cependant, le contrepoint est également valable : Les tyrans libérés de cette
contrainte peuvent - et vont probablement - utiliser une violence sans
compromis contre leurs propres citoyens, une leçon qui a été renforcée de façon
sanglante par les événements en Libye et en Syrie depuis 2011.
1. Le peuple devrait renverser le
dictateur rwandais (souvent mis en place par des agences étrangères) et le
jeter, avec ses sbires et sa famille, hors du pays - par exemple, le Shah
d'Iran, Marcos des Philippines. Compaoré du Burkina Faso
2. Les puissances étrangères (qui
maintenaient jusqu'alors le dictateur) le forcent à s'exiler sans intervention
armée - par exemple, le Hongrois Mátyás Rákosi a été exilé par les Soviétiques
en Kirghizie en 1970 pour "se faire soigner".
3. Les puissances étrangères entrent en
scène et éliminent le dictateur (qu'elles ont soit instauré, soit aidé
auparavant) - par exemple Saddam Hussein d'Irak ou Manuel Noriega du Panama.
4. Le dictateur se tue dans un acte de
désespoir - par exemple, Hitler en 1945.
5. Le dictateur est assassiné par des
personnes de son entourage - par exemple, Jules César de Rome en 44 après J.-C.
a été poignardé par 60 à 70 personnes (une seule blessure a été fatale
cependant).
6. Organiser des grèves et des troubles
pour paralyser le pays et convaincre même l'armée de ne pas soutenir le
dictateur - par exemple, Jorge Ubico y Castañeda a été évincé au Guatemala en
1944 et le Guatemala est devenu démocratique, Récemment au Burkina Faso avec le
dictateur Blaise Compaoré.
7. Les Rwandais organisent une révolution violente et font tuer le dictateur - par exemple, Ceaucescu en Roumanie.
- The international community has ensured legal immunity for Rwandan President Paul Kagame despite evidence of the RPF's responsibility for war crimes.
- Hutus hold any senior position in the RPF government. They are always twinned with Tutsi officials who are the real depositors of constitutional authority
- Abraham Mutai is feted by Rwandans who are against the dictator Paul KAGAME who kills, embeds, kidnaps, torture... his own people
The fact that the regime of the RPF previously dug out more human remains a week after Noble Marara (a close escort of Paul Kagame from 1991 to 2014) in an interview with the BBC in its “Imvo n’Imvano Program” of the 14th April 2018 while explaining his book “BEHIND THE PRESIDENTIAL CURTAINS” testifying that the RPF/RPA massacred innocent civilians and buried them in common graves raised people’s eyebrows! The public wondered whether the RPF government was not seeking to cancel the tangible evidence supplied on the BBC. The case of the human remains recently exhumed at Rusororo in Kigali should be studied skeptically.
Previously amid the last month of April the current year, about three thousand skulls of human remains were found in Rusororo Sector, Kigali City. Right away, the local government and IBUKA claimed that those remains belonged to Tutsi citizens who were murdered in the area during the 1994 ethnic cleansing.
During June and July 1994, the refugees’ situation grew tense. Famine and war were at their worst. At this time, the fighters of RPF/RPA brought lorries and packed male and female refugees who looked healthier than others and drove them away saying that they were going to bring food for the weak refugees who remained in the Camp waiting. Up to now, no one of the refugees packed in lorries by the RPF/RPA fighters ever returned or survived to tell the story.
Afterwards the RPF/RPA proceeded with displacing all refugees (infants, teens, adults and elderly people) towards Kabuga. The convoy of dozens of lorries got hijacked in the half of the way and they emptied the refugees in four different places in Rusororo Sector where they were animally slain with swords, clubs and bullets by the same fighters of RPF/RPA. The Hutu refugees’ bodies were thrown in mass graves which currently are being disinterred by the RPF regime claimed to be Tutsi remains.
Basing on several documents already published such as the “GERSONY REPORT”, “UN MAPPING REPORT” by UN experts, the documentary film “RWANDA’S UNTOLD STORY” by famed British journalist Jane Corbin and the recent book “IN PRAISE OF BLOOD” by the investigative Canadian journalist Judi Rever that testify to the world how the RPF/RPA killed hundred thousands of Hutu civilians, it’s not such an easy endeavor to agree with the RPF regime that the recently found human remains are the Tutsi’s since they were exhumed in an area that fell in the hands of RPF/RPA fighters from the very outbreak of the war.
Here are typical cases in which President Paul Kagame and his entourage exterminated Hutu ethnic group’s citizens along the 1990s:
Many Hutu citizens were summoned to the meeting at the soccer field in Byumba Stadium were massacred. They were a mixture of infants, adult women and old women.
Many Hutu citizens who were called to the meeting at Mukarange in Byumba Prefecture were fired massively, stabbed with bayonets and others were slain with clubs simply because they were born Hutu.
Many Hutu men and women who were brought to the meeting at Gishuro in Byumba Prefecture were killed with short hoes and swords simply on the grounds that they were Hutu.
Many Hutu people whose a large number were children, women, old men and old women were led to a meeting at Ruhuha in Bugesera were put in school buildings and butchered cruelly because they were Hutu.
Many Hutu citizens from all walks of life were summoned to a meeting at ISAR/Songa in Butare Prefecture and were killed with bullets, short hoes only because of their ethnic identities.
Multitudes of Hutu people were called to come to the meeting at Runda Commune in Gitarama Prefecture and were massacred ferociously solely because of their Hutu ethnic background.
Large numbers of Hutu nationals were invited to the meeting at Kamarashavu in Kibungo Prefecture and were killed with bullets and hoes regardless of age.
Lots of Hutu countrymen were encircled and led to the meeting at Rwamanyoni in Kibungo Prefecture where they were killed with bullets and hoes simply because of their physical appearance.
Hutu masses were called to the meeting at Foyer Kavumu in Nyanza and they killed them with bullets and hoes only because they belonged to the Hutu ethnic group.
After the power takeover by the RPF/RPA in July 1994, unknown big number of Hutu returnees who crossed the border back home from DRC, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania or elsewhere were disappeared or landed in prison where they ended their lives amid a hot climate of gruesome torture, hunger, cholera, emaciation and overcrowding merely because they were born Hutu.
Crowds of Hutu and Tutsi citizens were murdered with hoes, knives and bullets in the market of Cyanzarwe in Gisenyi Prefecture. In case the RPF/RPA terminators were about to butcher the Hutu, some Tutsi raised their hands in the air claiming that they were not Hutu and they really were not, asking to be separated from those who were going to be killed. The killers turned deaf ears and systematically started the massacre from those who claimed to be Tutsi.
A Tutsi who didn’t raise his hand in the air while seated among the Hutu who were going to be slain was also killed together with the Hutu as was the case of Gakurazo when they slaughtered a Tutsi infant named Sheja who was sitting on the lap of one of the clergymen massacred without selecting. As it usually has been evidenced by some people who used to be members of the RPF Party, the RPF sent some of its adherents to part company with interahamwe in order to add fuel to the massacres knowing for sure that in the future the massacres would take the name of genocide and become a battle horse for the RPF.
Here are the names of some of the many RPA fighters President Paul Kagame sent to do infiltrations and to associate with the Interahamwe in the ethnic cleansing against Tutsi:
Lieutenant Serwada Gashugi was sent from the soldiers who were in charge of Major General Paul Kagame’s security (High Command Protection Unit).
Captain Kiyago who operated in 101 Battalion. Captain Kiyago is the one who slew Landouard Ndasingwa, his wife and children. Landouard Ndasingwa was the brother of Louise Mushikiwabo (the current Minister of Foreign Affairs in Rwanda).
Sergeant Emmanuel Kanyita for Alpha Battalion.
Lieutenant Kayinamura from Kagame’s High Command Protection Unit.
Sergeant Butera from Kagame’s High Command Protection Unit.
S/Maj. Murefu Salongo of Charlie Battalion.
Lieutenant Kaziyake from Alpha Battalion.
Corporal Ale from the 9th Battalion.
Sergeant Stanislas from Delta Battalion.
Corporal Emmanuel Karugaba from Charlie Battalion.
Sergeant Sentongo from Paul Kagame’s High Command Protection Unit.
So far, the RPF regime has not been able to give justice to the victims and survivors of the ethnic cleansing inasmuch as it does not want to recognize its guilt and always seeks to impute it on the vanquished Hutu. It is a sad thing to see that during the past twenty-two years both the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and the Justice of Rwanda have condemned one side overlooking the gross crimes of the RPF/RPA. Rwandans are looking forward to seeing impartial justice in which President Paul Kagame and his junta will be prosecuted for their active participation in the ethnic cleansing that took the lives of Hutu and Tutsi masses before and after the assassination of President Juvenal Habyarimana in his jet on 6 April 1994. Rwandans hunger for the internationally independent investigations about who crashed the presidential jet which is known as the trigger of genocide in Rwanda.
The world especially the Anglo-Zionist Empire should stop President Paul Kagame and his RPF entourage to keep sacrificing numerable Rwandan souls on the altar of lie. President Kagame and his statesmen have refused to tell the world the truth to state how they themselves actually sparked the genocide tragedy in Rwanda in 1994. They run the world assassinating every witness they might lay their hands on because they don’t want anyone to reveal the thick part of their intrigue in which they use the naming “genocide against Tutsi” as a multipurpose tool to consolidate their power.
There is impunity towards the RPF/RPA crimes as long as the world remains silent about well documented reports that show how Kagame and his junta have done systematic killings in the past two decades. The UN Mapping Report on the RDC of 2010 is a reliable testimony that evidences how the RPF/RPA massacred Hutu citizens and pursued them in the Democratic Republic of Congo then called Zaïre. The systematic ethnic cleansing of the RPF regime are not only mentioned in theories but they are also mentioned in numbers.
Although the public opinion agrees with the number of 800,000 to a million victims, many other numbers have been advanced, ranging from 250,000 to 2 million by experts, the United Nations Organization, NGOs and the RPF to such extent that total confusion reigns. Gérard Prunier recognizes that there is no systematic count and that the numbers rely on opinion more than facts. The Rwandan government of the RPF prefers to maintain this confusion. The RPF regime has refuses up to now to reveal the numbers of survivors of the “genocide” from which it is easy to evaluate the number of dead Tutsi and dead Hutu and this will never be revealed as long as the RPF regime rules. It prefers things blurred so that the world may not know the extent of the massacres committed against the Hutu by the RPF and to inflate the number of Tutsi victims.
It is necessary to note that the Census of the population organized under the supervision of the UN (UNDP, UNFAP, and CEA) and with the aid of countries such as the USA and Canada that terminated on 15 August 1991 fixed the total number of Tutsi in the country at 8.4% of the population of 7.099.844 persons. Thus, the numbers that suggest that the entire Tutsi population was massacred between April and July 1994 are simply fantasies. It is no secret to anyone that many Tutsi survived even if the incumbent government in Kigali does not want to publish the figures. The numbers create confusion for the regime to exploit in order to manipulate national and international opinion for ideological objectives. Witnesses worthy of the name state that the majority of those buried at Nyanza hill in Kigali are the thousands of Hutu refugees massacred by the men of the RPF/RPA on the dates of 22 and 23 May 1994 while they were attempting to flee away from the RPF soldiers who had just captured the garrison at Camp Kanombe.
The deputy mayor of Kigali City presented the Gisozi Memorial as the high place of pilgrimage and sad memories of genocide. This place stores, according the official declarations of the government, 250,000 human skulls. However, they cannot be from the former prefecture of the city of Kigali as they claim. Indeed, the total population of Kigali City was, according to the census of 15 August 1991, 221.806 persons of which 81.4% were Hutu and 17.9% Tutsi. Using a figure of 3.2% growth per annum, the total population of Kigali City was around 240.000 inhabitants in 1994 taken at its maximum, with the Tutsi population being estimated at 50.000 persons at its highest. This figure does not accord with the 250,000 skulls exposed at the Gisozi Memorial, especially when one reckons that many of the Tutsi in Kigali survived the war. The numbers of skulls is even more incomprehensible when one admits that the city of Kigali has other memorials notably those of Nyanza and Rebero where other thousands of remains are exposed. When you totalize the figures provided by the RPF government, going from memorial to memorial across the country, you realize that the Tutsi genocide victims exceed 4.000.000 and still being increased on a day-to-day basis. It is incredible! This example shows how the RPF regime manipulates the figures of genocide victims on a national level.
Several witnesses have stated before the ICTR that Gisozi was occupied by the RPA (army of the RPF) from 8 April 1994. Therefore, it was the RPF that ethnically cleansed the zones of Gisozi-Kagugu and Kabuye in Rutongo commune, in the prefecture of Rural Kigali and all undesirable persons including the displaced of war from the Refugees’ Camps of Nyacyonga and Rusine, who had fled to the city after their camps were heavily bombarded by the RPF. Several former members of the RPF have denounced the massacres of thousands of persons in these zones. All these people were summarily executed by the agents of the DMI (Directorate of Military Intelligence of the RPF) in the military camp at Kami taken by the RPF in mid-April 1994. These massacres were part and parcel of the plan by the RPF to eliminate as large a number as possible of Hutu intelligentsia.
Today, the same logic of annihilation of the Hutu elite that the RPF follows is behind their lists of pretended “Hutu génocidaires” including those already judged and acquitted by the ICTR and elsewhere in the world. The monumental scandals of the RPF’s genocidal policy have surpassed all bounds and this cannot be stopped unless the criminals of the RPF/RPA are brought before justice.
In their power-intoxicated talks the highest authorities of Rwanda, beginning by Kagame himself, have criticized the role of the international community during the Rwandan genocide. Thus, in his speech of 7 April, 2009, President Paul Kagame castigated the attitude of the UN, qualifying it as “cowardice” saying; “We are not those who abandoned the people who needed protection; they left them to be killed; are they not guilty? I think also that is cowardice; they left before a single shot was fired!” In so saying, Kagame ignores the command he gave RPA troops shortly after shooting down the jet which was carrying President Juvenal Habyarimana and crew. Four days after the Tutsi began being massacred by Interahamwe, Commander-in-Chief of RPA Major General Paul Kagame gave orders to his fighters they had to capture all areas of the Republic of Rwanda which still were controlled by the FAR (the army of the government of Rwanda at the time). General Paul Kagame never gave his soldiers any orders to rescue the Tutsi who were being murdered by Interahamwe. By contrast, Kagame pronounced an official decree that all RPA soldiers who were going to abandon the fight against the FAR for the sake of saving the Tutsi from the clubs and machetes of the militia Interahamwe, would publicly be fired dead in broad daylight.
Here is a list of some of the RPF/RPA fighters who were executed simply because of their daring initiatives to save the Tutsi who were at the mercy of Interahamwe:
Karake from Nyanza City in the South of Rwanda. The late was registered in Charlee Battalion and he was fired at Butaro Commune in Ruhengeri Prefecture.
Private Masumbuku from Charlee Battalion was fired in Butaro, Ruhengeri Prefecture.
Corporal Oscar from Rubaya Sickbay Corps was shot at Kanombe, Kigali City.
Lieutenant Serushago was executed beaten a hoe simply because he tried to rescue the Tutsi from being killed. He operated in the 7th Battalion.
Lieutenant Ngurumbe was killed with a hoe condemned for saving the Tutsi from the hands of Interahamwe. He was an element of the 5th Battalion.
Private Eric Twagirayezu from the 7th Battalion was shot in Gikondo at Karambo charged of rescuing the Tutsi who were being butchered by the militia Interahamwe.
Private Eric Murwanashyaka from the 11th Battalion was executed at Buringa in a center called “Kabada” accused of violating Kagame’s orders by saving the Tutsi from being cleansed by Interahamwe.
Apart from the aforementioned RPF/RPA soldiers who were executed unjustly on the orders of Major General Paul Kagame, there are many others who were thrown in jail and some of them even die in jail only because they saved the Tutsi from the 1994 ethnic cleansing.
Here are examples of soldiers who were jailed because of rescuing the Tutsi during the pogrom:
Private Gatera from 59th Battalion was incarcerated in RPA Military Police for over four years simply because he rescued the Tutsi ethnic group’s people who were being massacred by Interahamwe in Runda Commune, Gitarama Prefecture.
Corporal Fabian Ntabanganyimana who belonged to 101 Battalion was imprisoned for long time being punished for rescuing the Tutsi from the hands of Interahamwe in Murama, Gitarama Prefecture.
Private Matthew Ntisinzira who stayed in the 1st Battalion was jailed for over six years merely because he fought for the Tutsi who were being massacred by Interahamwe in Gihara, Gitarama Prefecture.
S/Maj. Alexis Nyamwasa from the 5th Battalion was jailed for more than five years simply because rescued the Tutsi at Murambi in Byumba Prefecture.
Private Posienne Dusingizimana from the 9th Battalion was put in prison for more than seven years only because he showed bold courage to save the Tutsi from the militia Interahamwe in Bugarama, Cyangugu Prefecture.
Corporal Rwamagana, agent of the Support/Artillery Company of the 59th Battalion was imprisoned for over six years on the grounds of having rescued the Tutsi from the spears of Interahamwe in Sake Commune, Kibungo Prefecture.
Sergeant Geofrey Butera from the 19th Battalion and who was Second in charge intelligence officer/2 I/C IO 19th Battalion. This one was jailed for more than four years solely because he tried to save the Tutsi who being murdered by Interahamwe at Rutare in Byumba Prefecture.
In the light of the above supplied evidence, it is clear that Kagame neither stopped the genocide nor rescued the Tutsi but he intentionally made shipwreck of them. His stinging speeches towards the international community are merely a way to pass the buck. The international community should react appropriately beginning by those who encouraged and financed the criminal project to take power by force of arms in Rwanda through the disastrous actions of General Romeo Dallaire at the head of UNAMIR to whom the RPF announced the imminent cataclysm on 2 April 1994 and who did nothing to stop it; and the postponed judiciary pursuits of the successive prosecutors at the ICTR in Arusha whom the RPF succeeded in submitting to its rule of terror.
Therefore, justice is needed for all Rwandans and foreigners killed or today traumatized by RPF’s criminal policy. As the former ICTR Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte once said it, if it is proved that the RPF/RPA shot down the plane of the late President Juvenal Habyrimana, history can be rewritten. The name of the genocide crimes committed in Rwanda has been changed three times to the extent that the last naming as “genocide against Tutsi” remains not reconcilable if we take in consideration the information about the RPF atrocities. It is also difficult to understand the deal passed between Paul Kagame and Benjamín Natanyahu! It is known that after the shooting down of the presidential jet, mass displacements and mass killings, war crimes and genocide crimes followed. The naming of those crimes has been modified three times during the last two decades and for the third time Kagame and the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu made a deal so that the crimes might take the name of “the crimes of genocide against Tutsi” and not “the crimes of genocide against Rwandans.”
The history should not be mishandled within any political ideology. Thus, the new generation can be confused! Now is the time to no longer turn blind a eye to research data stated in this document which undoubtedly affirm that the RPF/RPA did not only massacre the Hutu with the intention to wipe them from the earth but also in its preparations of war from Uganda, the RPF/RPA wanted to eliminate the Hutu elite. The RPF/RPA went beyond the context of war and its mass killings were much more organized than those of Interahamwe.
The fact that among the ten successful business tycoons who live during the epoch of the MRND of President Juvenal Habyarimana, eight were Tutsi and now the RPF regime has almost eliminated them proves that RPF oppresses Rwandans from all ethnic groups. Many Tutsi are killed simply because they disagree with alarming injustice perpetrated against the Hutu. RPF government should be halted to its terrorist fashion of rule manifested in relentless assassinations, and stop its bare lies of passing its own murder guilt to the Hutu. It is clear that the ICTR (International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda) did not fulfill its mission of justice for all because the grave offences mentioned above have never been pursued legally.
President Paul Kagame has not only perpetrated war crimes, genocide and human rights abuses but he has also failed to lead the country into the path of peace and freedom since he always seeks to consolidate his power by means of terror. Instead of promoting a fair system of justice, Kagame and his sycophants ironically opine that the country’s resiliency results from his good governance. In no circumstances shall the blood of innocent Rwandans be exchanged with power no matter what it is.
Paul Kagame has destabilized the whole Great Lakes region, caused the displacement of thousands of refugees in the region including the 17,000 Congolese refugees and held Burundian refugees as captives in Rwanda! Recently the Kiziba Camp has been subject to Kagame’s Armed Forces’ atrocities twice. Much worse, his controversial third term in the office has influenced other Presidents in the region to push forth their antidemocratic rules. This factor shows how Paul Kagame remains the problem not only for Rwanda but also for the entire region! His overstay in the office has become the main hindrance for sustainable investment in Central East African countries.
There is an important lesson which the world should learn from President Paul Kagame’s life story. Thus, in Kagame’s philosophy of life, man has no crime to fear. He murders those who interfere with his evil aspirations and his main weapons are: poison, stealing, killing, lying, ethnic divide, giving corruption, pushing the youths into promiscuous spy networks, prostitution and so many like cheap tricks have been Kagame’s proceedings to reach the heights of political hierarchy. He already is intoxicated with power and he has no idea to give up his deceptive policies because he has conquered bonanza emoluments out of them.
Kagame and his entourage fight against anything that may cause regime change in Rwanda because they are sure that they can imperatively answer to all horrible atrocities they did against the Hutu, Tutsi, Twa and others. These men dread to sit around the table of negotiations with their opponents because they know that their monumental crimes can be voiced publicly in the same talks. That’s why Kagame and his oligarchy refute the dawn of democracy in Rwanda, the respect of fundamental liberties and rights, the freedom of the press, the independent system of justice and free elections devoid of fraudulence.
Kagame and his oligarchs carry out terrorist acts inside and outside the country assassinating, poisoning and betraying those who oppose the RPF regime, especially the former RPF cadres who actually know the details of Kagame and his men’s criminal history. They spend megabucks of public money bribing the west’s broadcasting agencies in order that they may not reveal the truth to the world. They also corrupt a large proportion of the world’s opinion leaders so as to help them permeate the lie all over the place.
Rwandans need justice to be done at the national as well as international level towards the RPF in order that the leadership founded on lie be removed. The shed blood of millions of innocent people cannot be exchanged with the current development in separateness and the selective urbanization policies of Kigali City which the RPF uses to deceive the world that it has achieved great success after war and genocide it waged itself.

Liberty and Equality: The Rwandan Hutu majority are seeking an end to the Tutsi and RPF's slavery
The Tutsi control the instruments of the whole country. Despite amounting to around 14 per cent of the population, they occupy about 99 percent of the country’s top leadership positions, which is unacceptable.As we were entering the year 2019, I would ask you not to blame the US President Trump. It's obviously clear that He's really informed and those who were supposed to work with Him are still against the slavery abolition in Africa and particularly in Rwanda. They think only about their own interests no matter how many Africans got slaughtered, which is a drama. The current French president Macron do nothing but helping the bloody Rwandan Hitler Paul Kagame. ==> Shame on him.
Dear survivors,
The tyranny of the Hutu majority isn’t a problem in Rwanda today. Tyranny of the Tutsi minority is. millions of Rwandans especially the majority ethnic group are arbitrary imprisoned, forced disappeared, arbitrary arrested and assassinated, mass-slaughtered by the Tutsi tyrant Paul Kagame.
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
