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
Fighting For Our Freedom?
We need Freedom, Liberation of our fatherland, Human rights respect, Mutual respect between the Hutu majority and the Tutsi minority

KIGALI — Une importante personnalité politique rwandaise, président du parlement de 2003 à 2008, a été condamnée à la prison à perpétuité après avoir été reconnue coupable de participation au génocide de 1994 contre les Tutsis, a-t-on appris jeudi de source officielle.
Alfred Mukezamfura born on Dec 25 1953 a été reconnu coupable d'"incitation à la haine et au génocide" par une juridiction populaire gacaca du secteur Nyakabanda, à Kigali, et condamné à la prison à perpétuité, a annoncé Radio Rwanda.
L'accusé "n'était pas présent à l'énoncé du verdict", selon la radio.
Il avait quitté le Rwanda en mars dernier pour se réfugier en Belgique, où il a depuis demandé l'asile politique, selon un de ses proches.
Président du Parti démocrate centriste (PDC), M. Mukezamfura avait été jusque début 2009 l'une des plus importantes personnalités hutu au sein du régime du président Paul Kagame, dominé par les Tutsis. Il avait été président du parlement pendant cinq ans, de 2003 à 2008, ainsi que vice-président de la Commission constitutionnelle rwandaise.
M. Mukezamfura a été impliqué "indirectement" dans le génocide à travers ses écrits, "incitateurs au génocide", selon Radio Rwanda. Il lui est en particulier reproché la rédaction, en mai 1994, d'un éditorial publié dans le journal gouvernemental "Imvaho" au mois de mai 1994 (en plein génocide), et intitulé "Intwari yaratabarutse" ("le héros est décédé") en hommage au président Juvénal Habyarimana, dont la mort dans un attentat le 6 avril 1994 avait déclenché le génocide.
M. Mukezamfura travaillait alors au sein de l'Orinfor (Office rwandais d'information), où il dirigeait "Imvaho" ainsi qu'une autre publication gouvernementale, "La Nouvelle relève".
Plusieurs personnalités hutu, hommes politiques ou officiers supérieurs, qui exerçaient des responsabilités au sein du gouvernement depuis l'arrivée au pouvoir de Paul Kagame ont été ainsi condamnées pour leur participation présumée au génocide ces dernières années par des juridiction.
Avant les législatives de septembre 2008, auxquelles il n'avait pas été autorisé a se présenter à cause de la gravité des accusations portées contre lui, M. Mukezamfura était constitutionnellement la troisième personnalité de l'Etat.
En juillet, le sénateur Safari Stanley, fondateur en 2003 d'un petit parti proche du Front patriotique rwandais (FPR, au pouvoir) a été condamné à la perpétuité. Des parlementaires membres du FPR ont été également mis en cause, dont la député Béatrice Nirere, condamnée au début de l'année, et le sénateur Anastase Nzirasanaho qui attend d'être jugé.
Les juridictions gacaca ont également condamné à la perpétuité mardi un important homme d'affaires de l'ouest du pays, Aphrodice Mugambira, pour sa participation au génocide, a rapporté le quotidien privé New Times (pro-gouvernemental).
L'homme d'affaires, 51 ans, originaire de la préfecture de Kibuye, a été reconnu coupable d'avoir acheté des fusils et des machettes pour des miliciens locaux et d'avoir fait tuer un de ses beaux-frères, selon New Times.
Eminente figure du monde des affaires à Kibuye à l'époque des faits, M Mugambira était également un membre influent de l'ex-parti présidentiel, le Mouvement.
Since 1994, the world witnesses the horrifying Tutsi minority (14%) ethnic domination, the Tutsi minority ethnic rule, 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 (85% Hutus) of the Rwandan people by the RPF criminal organization.

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

Un ex agent des services secrets du Rwanda témoigne à propos de l’implication de son Gouvernement dans le meurtre de Kabila
Madrid - Un témoin protégé dévoile, devant l’Audition Nationale, le plan d’assassiner le chef d’état congolais en 2001
Traduit de l'espagnol)
L'attentat qui a mis un terme à la vie de Laurent-Desiré Kabila, ex président de la République Démocratique du Congo (RDC) assassiné par l’un de ses gardes du corps le 16 janvier 2001, a été organisé et financé par le Gouvernement du Rwanda comme l’a déclaré un ex haut responsable des services secrets rwandais devant le juge de l'Audition Nationale Fernando Andreu.
What a shame !
Celui-
ci a lancé une procédure pour génocide contre le Président rwandais Paul Kag
ame et 39 autres responsables de son armée qu’il accuse d’avoir procédé à l’extermination systématique de l’ethnie hutu entre 1994 et 2000.
Since 1994, the world witnesses the horrifying Tutsi minority (14%) ethnic domination, the Tutsi minority ethnic rule, 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 (85% Hutus) of the Rwandan people by the RPF criminal organization.
Des agents secrets rwandais ont donné de l'argent pour commettre l’attentat.
L'ex agent de Kagame a prêté serment en tant que témoin protégé à cause des risques pour sa vie que peut impliquer son témoignage. Selon des sources judiciaires, le témoin a livré des détails importants concernant l’ingérence rwandaise au Congo pendant les dernières 14 années.
Le dernier épisode de cette tension est la rébellion tutsi animée par le Congrès National pour la Défense du Peuple (CNDP) dirigé par le général tutsi Laurent N’Kunda. Selon un rapport examiné lundi par le Conseil de Sécurité de l'ONU, le Rwanda joue un rôle fondamental dans ce conflit, en prenant part au recrutement des troupes et en fournissant l’équipement militaire ; il a également fourni des fonctionnaires pour la région du Nord Kivu, où la rébellion a provoqué jusqu'à présent la fuite de 250.000 personnes. Kagame, le président rwandais, nie tout systématiquement.
Le témoin qui s’est présenté au bureau du juge Andreu le mois dernier, a donné des détails, selon lesquels, il y a presque huit ans, des agents secrets au service du Gouvernement rwandais, dirigé par le tutsi Kagame, chef du Front Patriotique Rwandais (FPR), ont donné de l'argent à des personnes proches du président Laurent Kabila pour organiser l’attentat. Ces mêmes agents au service de Kagame, se sont engagés à faciliter l’exfiltration des conjurés vers des pays européens pour éviter des représailles après le meurtre.
Le même Gouvernement qui a certainement (financé l’assassinat de Kabila – auquel a succédé son fils Joseph – l’avait installé au pouvoir cinq ans auparavant, après la guerre de 1996 qui a mis un terme la dictature de Mobutu Sese Seko.
Le Rwanda avait alors appuyé financièrement le mouvement dont il était président, l'Alliance des Forces Démocratiques pour la Libération du Congo-Zaire (AFDL). La confrontation entre les anciens alliés s'est produite, selon le témoin, lorsque Kabila, une fois au pouvoir, a rompu avec les cadres militaires tutsis qui l'avaient aidé et entamé des contacts commerciaux avec la Russie, la Chine et le Vénézuéla pour la vente de matières premières comme l'or ou le coltan.
Pendant la campagne militaire qui a conduit Kabila au pouvoir, selon le témoin protégé, le Rwanda a poursuivi une stratégie d'élimination systématique de la population hutu qui avait fui son pays et trouvé refuge dans les camps du Nord et du Sud Kivu après la prise du pouvoir à Kigali par l’Armée Patriotique Rwandaise.
Le principal objectif de ce plan, a déclaré l'ex agent secret, était « de tuer le plus grand nombre possible de hutus » ou « leur rapatriement au Rwanda pour être emprisonnés ». Lors des opérations militaires aveugles contre les camps de réfugiés on est allé jusqu’à utiliser un « armement lourd ».
Ceux qui ont pu échapper aux massacres, ont été poursuivis dans leur fuite vers l'ouest du Congo en passant par les villes de Kisangani et d'Ubundu jusqu'à Mbandaka, la frontière occidentale du pays, où des centaines d’entre eux ont été massacrés en 1997.

Dans cette campagne aux relents génocidaires, ont perdu la vie les missionnaires maristes espagnols Julio Rodriguez, Fernando de la Fuente, Miguél Ángel Isla et Servando Mayor qui travaillaient au camp de réfugiés de Nyamirangwe qui abritait 30.000 hutus.
Deux agents secrets rwandais ont été cités comme témoins de leur exécution par un commando de cinq personnes, afin que les missionnaires « ne puissent pas dénoncer les massacres perpétrés par les troupes rwandaises », selon le témoignage de l'ex agent secret rwandais. Un des membres de ce commando, est l’actuel Général Eric Murokore, aux ordres du chef de la rébellion tutsi Laurent N’Kunda.

[CM/P continues to support President Obama despite all the seeming insults to the intelligence of his constituency--and to History, itself.
The appointments of Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and Richard Holbrooke--to name just three--are hard unto impossible to explain except as reflexes of a deeply decadant and savagely anti-democratic system for the administration of such a large and powerful nation.
[CM/P continues to support President Obama despite all the seeming insults to the intelligence of his constituency--and to History, itself.
The appointments of Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and Richard Holbrooke--to name just three--are hard unto impossible to explain except as reflexes of a deeply decadant and savagely anti-democratic system for the administration of such a large and powerful nation.
Biden, like so many other good working-class American Catholics, was a rabid supporter of the illegal secession from the Yugoslav Socialist Federation in 1991 of the revived Fascist Croatian Free State (and the cannonization of the Ustashi's own Arch-Bishop Stepinac);
Clinton, like so many other sentimental feminists (Eve Ensler and Ben Affleck also come to mind), did yeo(wo)man's work in arranging important financial incentives for making rape (of women and children, one supposes, though this crime has recently claimed victims among fighting-age males in Congo), which has always been a crime in every nation on the planet, into a war crime, a crime against Humanity and even an act of genocide (Ms Clinton got a $600K reward together that brought such an indictment from the ICTR against the Former Rwandan Women's Development and Family Welfare Minister, Pauline Nyiramasuhuko, see p://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/419850.stm);
and Holbrooke, like all noble knights errant of the financial round table, almost single handedly from his broker's chair at Credit Suiss First Boston, broke into the privileged trade relations of the former Yugoslav Republics of Croatia and BiH, to insinuate therein the wasteful ministrations of Western investment banks, collected significant courtier's fees and service charges, and so raised the cost of living in these nominally socialist-administered political-economies that many chose suicide to paying outlandishly high energy prices for the same Russian feul they'd gotten pre-Dick at a third the price from YugoGaz when Slobodan Milosevic was heading that agency, just to help the Holbrookes with the rent on their Eastside Manhattan coop.
Maybe these appointments can be written off as corrupt Clinton-era legacies--or just further murky reflections in an ever-more degenerating and putrescent US social service employees pool. But President Obama's recent appointment of Stephen Rapp as his Ambassador for War Crimes, replacing Pierre Prosper--coming as it does at this critical moment in the writing of recent military history in Africa and elsewhere, and having as much or as little as it does of Obama's own political volition behind it--can only exacerbate an already morbidly ill US foreign policy, especially where the vast, rich and strategically essential African continent is concerned.
We won't blame Obama for this selection, yet another set back for Historical Truth and Justice; but we will come in as hot as we can to bring out the evidence of its folly. For after all, as Prof Erlinder, a great and good fighter in our cause, mentioned in a personal email: --I "like" Obama too, and would much rather shoot hoops with him, than cut brush with Bush ... but, we now have the smartest, most likeable and most competent captain that the Titanic has ever had. ....
But he does not own the ship, does not determine the ports of call, has already demonstrated that "first class" gets the lifeboats and, even though he hears us yelling down in steerage--and was once down here himself-- ..... we are not a priority for the "Cunard Line" mukimuks that pay his salary.
More importantly, no matter how hard he pulls on the wheel .... when allowed to ..... the course of the ship was set long ago, and .... the iceberg is still looming in the darkness.-- Wow, whadda buzz-kill, huh. Man, let's all just pull up a deck chair, kick back, ice up those cocktails (there's a whole lot a fresh ice right off the port bow), and see what the band'll play next. You think they know Louie, Louie? --mc]
Former Chief UN Rwanda Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte: “Obama War Crimes Ambassador Complicit in War Crimes Cover-up.” Does Obama Know? ….or Care? by Prof. Peter Erlinder In mid-July, the NY Times reported that the Obama administration had selected Stephen Rapp to replace Pierre Prosper, the Bush administration’s Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes.
A former Iowa U.S. Attorney, and Democrat politico, Rapp began his international career at the UN Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in 2001, while Carla Del Ponte was Chief Prosecutor. In Del Ponte’s 2008 memoir, Madam Prosecutor: Confronting Humanity’s Worst Criminals and the Culture of Impunity, translated into English in early 2009, Del Ponte explains how she was removed from her ICTR position in 2003 by U.S. Ambassador Prosper, himself, because she refused to cooperate with a U.S.-initiated “cover-up” of war crimes committed by the current Rwandan government during the 1994 “Rwandan Genocide.”
According to Del Ponte, the ICTR Prosecutor had the evidence long before 2003 to prosecute Kagame for “touching-off” the Rwanda Genocide by ordering the assassination of Rwanda’s sitting President Juvenal Habyarimana. Her book also details dozens of massacre sites involving thousands of victims for which the Kagame government and military should be prosecuted.
The well-publicized canard, that “the identity of the assassins is unknown” is a bald-faced lie, known to all ICTR senior prosecutors, according to Ms. Del Ponte. Two years after Del Ponte was removed from office, Rapp became “Chief” of ICTR Prosecutions with access to all of the evidence known to Ms. Del Ponte, and more.
During his four years at the ICTR, Rapp also was in a position to prosecute Kagame and members of the current government of Rwanda, but, to this date, not ONE member of Kagame’s military has been prosecuted at the ICTR … and the “cover-up” continues to this day. Unlike, Ms. Del Ponte, Mr. Rapp was rewarded with an appointment as Chief Prosecutor at the U.S.-funded Sierra Leone Tribunal and, now, with a coveted ambassadorship.
Former Chief ICTR Prosecutor Del Ponte Details ICTR “Cover-up” According to Del Ponte, in May 2003 she was called to Washington D.C. by Prosper (ironically, also a former ICTR prosecutor with knowledge of Kagame’s crimes) who informed her that the U.S. would remove her from her UN post if she carried through with her publicly announced plans to indict Kagame and members of his government and military.
According to Del Ponte, when she refused to knuckle-under because “she worked for the UN, not for the U.S,” Prosper told her her ICTR career was over. True to his threat, by October, Del Ponte was replaced by a US-approved ICTR prosecutor, Hassan Abubacar Jallow. Stephen Rapp was elevated to Chief of Prosecution by Jallow two years later.
ICTR Trials: More Evidence of Rwanda Crimes Cover-Up Del Ponte’s revelations are not the only evidence that a U.S. initiated “ICTR cover-up” is creating impunity for crimes committed by Kagame and his military. Memos from September 10, 1994, in evidence in the ICTR Military-1 Trial, confirm that U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher was informed that Kagame’s troops were killing “10,000 civilians a month” in military-style, according to an investigation funded by USAID.
And, in early 1997, Chief ICTR Investigative Prosecutor and former Australian Crown Prosecutor Michael Hourigan; former FBI Agent James Lyons; and former UN-Chief of Military Intelligence in Rwanda, Amadou Deme: all reported to Ms. Del Ponte’s predecessor, Louise Arbour, that Kagame should be prosecuted for assassinating the previous president.
Arbour scuttled the investigation, suppressed the report and disbanded the investigative team. Shortly thereafter, Arbour was elevated to Canada’s Supreme Court and has recently been chosen to head the International Crisis Group, after an illustrious UN career. Former ICTR Prosecutor Rapp Complicit in Cover-up.
Clinton, like so many other sentimental feminists (Eve Ensler and Ben Affleck also come to mind), did yeo(wo)man's work in arranging important financial incentives for making rape (of women and children, one supposes, though this crime has recently claimed victims among fighting-age males in Congo), which has always been a crime in every nation on the planet, into a war crime, a crime against Humanity and even an act of genocide (Ms Clinton got a $600K reward together that brought such an indictment from the ICTR against the Former Rwandan Women's Development and Family Welfare Minister, Pauline Nyiramasuhuko, see p://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/419850.stm);

Former ICTR Prosecutor Rapp Complicit in Cover-up.
But, even though Arbour suppressed the “Hourigan Report” it must have been known to Ms. Del Ponte, Mr. Rapp and other ICTR prosecutors, because ICTR judges had ordered the ICTR Prosecutor to release the “Hourigan report” which had already been released to a defense team as early as 2000, a year before Rapp began his ICTR work, and two years before Del Ponte was fired by Prosper.
Like Del Ponte, when Rapp became the ICTR Chief of Prosecutions under Jallow in 2005, he had access to all of the information necessary to prosecute Kagame and main figures in his military and government.
But to date, not one indictment has been issued against Kagame by the ICTR Prosecutor. Kagame & Co. Already Indicted in France and Spain Athough the U.S. has been successful in preventing Kagame’s crew from being indicted at the ICTR, other courts have indicted Kagame and members of his retinue.

In late 2007, French Judge Jean-Louis Bruguière indicted the assassins of Habyarimana and recommended that Kagame be prosecuted by the ICTR. And, in February 2008, Spanish Judge Fernando Merelles issued a 180-page indictment specifically charging Kagame with Genocide, War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity, including the massacres of more than 300,000 civilians.
And Mr. Rapp’s former boss, Mr. Jallow, publicly admitted before the UN Security Council in spring 2008 that Kagame’s military is responsible for the assassination of Rwanda’s Catholic leadership in 1994. But still no ICTR prosecutions.
The Consequences of the ICTR Cover-up of Kagame’s Crimes The tragic consequence of the failure to prosecute Kagame at the ICTR, from 1994 to-date, is that Kagame was free to invade Congo in 1996 and 1998, and is currently occupying a part of eastern Congo 14-times larger than Rwanda.
No less than four UN Security Counsel-commissioned Panel of Experts Report(s) on the Illegal Exploitation of the DR Congo (2001, 2002, 2003 and December 2008) have detailed the massive rape of the Congo’s resources that has brought vast riches to Kagame and his inner circle. Since the first invasion in 1996, Kagame’s Congo invasions have been responsible for more than 5-million deaths, more every few months than the total alleged to have died in Darfur, crimes for which Sudanese President Bashir, a figure disfavored by the U.S., has been indicted by the ICC.
While Rapp was ICTR Senior Trial Attorney and Chief of Prosecutions, Kagame was effectively elected President-for-Life with 95% of the vote, after banning opposition parties and jailing opponents, in “a climate of intimidation” according to EU observers.
According to the Economist report on the 10th Anniversary of the “genocide” in 2004: “[Kagame] tolerates no serious domestic opposition, nor much in the way of free speech. Rwanda today is a thinly-disguised autocracy, where dissidents are usually accused of genocidal tendencies, live in fear, or exile, or both. The regime is a threat to its neighbors.
ICTR Chief of Prosecutions Rapp Personally Withheld Exculpatory Evidence from Defense Counsel and ICTR Judges As if this wasn’t enough, in February 2009, the ICTR issued its Judgement in the Military-1 case, the main case at the ICTR, in which Mr. Rapp personally appeared for the Prosecution.
Although massive violence did occur in Rwanda, the court certainly recognized that blaming only one side WAS a falsehood, when it acquitted all of the “architects of the killing machine” (as Mr. Rapp called the defendants in court) of conspiracy or planning to kill civilians. The highest ranking military-officer was acquitted of all charges.
And, although it is now clear from Ms. Del Ponte’s memoirs that Mr. Rapp had the evidence that would clear the defendants of the assassination charges and that both sides had committed crimes, for which the losing side has been blamed entirely.
Simply put, Mr. Rapp and other ICTR prosecutors have: withheld evidence at the ICTR that would be beneficial to the defense; prosecuted defendants for crimes they knew were committed by Kagame and the RPF; and created a system of “judicial impunity” that has permitted Kagame to kill millions in the eastern Congo.
All of which raises the uncomfortable question regarding President Obama’s nomination of Mr. Rapp: Are his advisors ignorant of the public record regarding Rapp’s complicity in an ICTR Cover-up? … or does Obama just not give a damn?

Former Chief UN Rwanda Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte: “Obama War Crimes Ambassador Complicit in War Crimes Cover-up.” Does Obama Know? ….or Care? by Prof. Peter Erlinder In mid-July, the NY Times reported that the Obama administration had selected Stephen Rapp to replace Pierre Prosper, the Bush administration’s Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes.
A former Iowa U.S. Attorney, and Democrat politico, Rapp began his international career at the UN Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in 2001, while Carla Del Ponte was Chief Prosecutor. In Del Ponte’s 2008 memoir, Madam Prosecutor: Confronting Humanity’s Worst Criminals and the Culture of Impunity, translated into English in early 2009, Del Ponte explains how she was removed from her ICTR position in 2003 by U.S. Ambassador Prosper, himself, because she refused to cooperate with a U.S.-initiated “cover-up” of war crimes committed by the current Rwandan government during the 1994 “Rwandan Genocide.”
According to Del Ponte, the ICTR Prosecutor had the evidence long before 2003 to prosecute Kagame for “touching-off” the Rwanda Genocide by ordering the assassination of Rwanda’s sitting President Juvenal Habyarimana.
Her book also details dozens of massacre sites involving thousands of victims for which the Kagame government and military should be prosecuted. The well-publicized canard, that “the identity of the assassins is unknown” is a bald-faced lie, known to all ICTR senior prosecutors, according to Ms. Del Ponte. Two years after Del Ponte was removed from office, Rapp became “Chief” of ICTR Prosecutions with access to all of the evidence known to Ms. Del Ponte, and more.
During his four years at the ICTR, Rapp also was in a position to prosecute Kagame and members of the current government of Rwanda, but, to this date, not ONE member of Kagame’s military has been prosecuted at the ICTR … and the “cover-up” continues to this day. Unlike, Ms. Del Ponte, Mr. Rapp was rewarded with an appointment as Chief Prosecutor at the U.S.-funded Sierra Leone Tribunal and, now, with a coveted ambassadorship.
Former Chief ICTR Prosecutor Del Ponte Details ICTR “Cover-up” According to Del Ponte, in May 2003 she was called to Washington D.C. by Prosper (ironically, also a former ICTR prosecutor with knowledge of Kagame’s crimes) who informed her that the U.S. would remove her from her UN post if she carried through with her publicly announced plans to indict Kagame and members of his government and military.
According to Del Ponte, when she refused to knuckle-under because “she worked for the UN, not for the U.S,” Prosper told her her ICTR career was over. True to his threat, by October, Del Ponte was replaced by a US-approved ICTR prosecutor, Hassan Abubacar Jallow. Stephen Rapp was elevated to Chief of Prosecution by Jallow two years later.
ICTR Trials: More Evidence of Rwanda Crimes Cover-Up Del Ponte’s revelations are not the only evidence that a U.S. initiated “ICTR cover-up” is creating impunity for crimes committed by Kagame and his military. Memos from September 10, 1994, in evidence in the ICTR Military-1 Trial, confirm that U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher was informed that Kagame’s troops were killing “10,000 civilians a month” in military-style, according to an investigation funded by USAID.
And, in early 1997, Chief ICTR Investigative Prosecutor and former Australian Crown Prosecutor Michael Hourigan; former FBI Agent James Lyons; and former UN-Chief of Military Intelligence in Rwanda, Amadou Deme: all reported to Ms. Del Ponte’s predecessor, Louise Arbour, that Kagame should be prosecuted for assassinating the previous president. Arbour scuttled the investigation, suppressed the report and disbanded the investigative team.
Shortly thereafter, Arbour was elevated to Canada’s Supreme Court and has recently been chosen to head the International Crisis Group, after an illustrious UN career.

01-09-2009SurViVors Human Rights Advocates would like to acknowledge and express their concerns to the UNHCR High Commissioner and his staff members for their tireless efforts to forcibly rapatriate Rwandan Hutu refugees in violation to the Humanitarian law and the Genenva conventions relating to the status of refugees.
"Everybody has the right to request asylum and to be informed of their rights". The UNHCR must stop every attempt to unload its responsibilities and international obligations on Hutu refugees.
Particularly serious is the UNHCR decision to hire those who work shoulder to shoulder with the Rwandan Tutsi-led goverment. Those UN corrupt employees are believed to fulfill the Tutsi-led government wishes namely making hard the hutu refugees life-conditions and facilitate their forcible repatriation to Rwanda, the country they fear for their lives.
The expulsion of these persons, without having adequately informed them of their right to request asylum,and without access to procedures for an eventual recognition of refugee status, is a breach of national and international law.
In particular it is a grave violation of the Geneva Convention, which in Article 33 sanctions the principle of "non-refoulement" (the principle of not refusing entry to those requesting asylum even if they happen to be born Hutu ethnic members).
SurViVors Human Rights Advocates urge the office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to provide a written guarantee or proofs that it respects the Geneva Conventions on Hutu Refugees. Particularly serious is the decision to send back Hutu refugees to the Rwandan bloody dictatorship led by the Tutsi extremists.
Since 1994, the world witnesses the horrifying Tutsi minority (14%) ethnic domination, the Tutsi minority ethnic rule, 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), by the RPF criminal organization.

While humanitarianism has always had a presence in international politics, it has never had the salience it possesses today particularly when Hutu refugees are abused... Threats are many for those countries refusing to extradate or forcibly repatriate hutu refugees.
In many African countries, the UNHCR break out the Geneva Conventions and take decisions regarding the forcible repatriation policy of Hutu refugees counciously knowing that the Rwandan Tutsi-led government has no respect for Human rights, that since 1994, this Tutsi-government has launched a massive witch-hunt for Hutus inside and outside of it ,those who refuse to adhere to the RPF mono ethnic party and ideology.
The UNHCR staff members’ attitude vis-à-vis the corruption and conspiracy inspired by the Tutsi-led government to harm and forcibly repatriate those Hutu refugees is no longer surprising.
On the other hand, It then goes on to show how the new humanitarianism is causing the erosion of the fundamental principles particularly when it concerns the Hutu refugees protection with negative consequences transforming the character and image of UNHCR.
The contrasting circumstances surrounding Hutu refugees’ crisis provide an opportunity to the world and Humanitarian organizations to show they are committed to peace and urge their country of origin to start negotiations with their representatives, the opponent political parties and the civil society in exile.
SurVivors Human Rights advocates urge the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and African countries authorities to reconsider any plan to forcibly repatriate Hutu refugees living in the those countries or living in holding centers who have not been given refugee status by the UNHCR.
According to reliable sources, Rwandan refugees who are forcibly repatriated face lengthy prison sentences, assassinations and other human rights abuses. The situation across the country is still dangerous for Hutu ethnic members particularly for those forcibly repatriated...
RPF military troops, local defense forces, DMI and other RPF clandestine organizations have started their dry season offensive on arbitrary arrests, imprisonment of those who are believed to recent repatriated.
According to many sources, the forcible repatriation is often covered by some pro-RPF media out of some European countries accusing the repatriated of having committed genocide in 1994. Thousands of Rwandans the mainly Hutus inside Rwanda are expected to flee the country because of incessant insecurity conditions, menaces that they are confronted on daily basis.
The Tutsi led government is demanding that those Hutu refugees be brought back to Rwanda. Instead of going back, they will go to other countries particularly to those who respect Human rights and thus where conditions are better.
THE NAMES OF RWANDAN REFUGEES DEPORTED BY UNHCR FROM GABON AND TORTURED BY RPF TO DEATH
Majority of these refugees who were deported by force by the UNHCR agency could not see the next millenium because of the brutal torture they had to undergo in the hands of RPF. The UNHCR sent its staff to Franceville headed by a lady known by only one name of Louise of a camerron origin.
Since she was presumably given some cash to sell the Rwandan Hutu Refugees, she went and sensibilized them saying I quote "Je ne peux pas vous repatrier au Rwanda car le Rwanda sous la leadership de Mr.Kagame est devenu un pay de l'holocauste" end of the quote.
Meaning that she could not want to repatriate us back to Rwanda because Rwanda under Kagame's leadership has become a country of holocaust. All hutu refugees in Franceville were very happy hoping the best from her hypocrasy.
But she was playing the tactic to catch all Hutu Refugees in Gabon without any hint that she wanted to take them back for butchery in Kagame's Abattoirs.The whole of July of 1997. The UNHCR hired a malian airplane which was taking Hutu Refugees from Franceville town of Gabon to Kigali International Airport.
On their arrival, therse refugees could be taken to triage chambers where all young people could be taken to torture chambers at Gikondo Industrial area. This people underwent inhumane treatment. According to my fomer schoolmate who were among this Hutu refugees repatriated by force by UNHCR, he told me that they were degraded to the level that they were fed on the human waste because of hunger.
He told as the tears were freely flowing on his both chicks, "Man,it is like apocalypse inside the Godowns of Gikondo.The RPF soldiers could come and start squeezing our male genital parts, to the ladies they could rape them and put red pepper in their private parts.
It was a harrowing moment, only God,my mother and I could believe what I am telling you, otherwise"....then he stopped as he was interrupted by tears which were flowing like water slops from Mt Karisimbi.
I continued carrying out some amateur research since I wanted to unveil what happened to these people who were given out as sacrifices by the people who were supposed to protect them,mainly UNHCR,the International Communiy,and the Gabon Governemnt, which used to claim to be friends of the late President Habyalimana.
I came across a mother of one of the people who lost their lives in the Gikondo torture chambers. She was from Gisenyi Prefecture which is in the Northwest of Rwanda. This list contained around 50 names of different young men and women who died from torture of all nature. Some of these name are as follow:
1. Iyaremwe Daniel (Gaseke-Gisenyi) died the 14.01.1998
2. Uwimana Evariste (Kivumu-Kibuye) died the 03.02.1998
3. Nzarora Theogene (Kibali-Byumba) died the 09.02.1998
4. Sadiki Ntawumenya (Rubavu-Gisenyi) died the 14.02.1998
5. Niyindora Laurent (Musebeya-Gikongoro) died the 18.02.1998
6. Sindikubwabo Innocent (Maraba-Butare) died the 18.02.1998
7. Bigilimana Bernard (Shyanda-Butare) died the 06.03.1998
8. Singirankabo Oswald (Bulinga-Gitarama) died the 06.03.1998
9. Rwaheru Felicien (Kiyombe-Byumba) died the 08.03.1998
and many others.

On the other hand, It then goes on to show how the new humanitarianism is causing the erosion of the fundamental principles particularly when it concerns the Hutu refugees protection with negative consequences transforming the character and image of UNHCR.
The contrasting circumstances surrounding Hutu refugees’ crisis provide an opportunity to the world and Humanitarian organizations to show they are committed to peace and urge their country of origin to start negotiations with their representatives, the opponent political parties and the civil society in exile.
SurVivors Human Rights advocates urge the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and African countries authorities to reconsider any plan to forcibly repatriate Hutu refugees living in the those countries or living in holding centers who have not been given refugee status by the UNHCR.
According to reliable sources, Rwandan refugees who are forcibly repatriated face lengthy prison sentences, assassinations and other human rights abuses. The situation across the country is still dangerous for Hutu ethnic members particularly for those forcibly repatriated...
RPF military troops, local defense forces, DMI and other RPF clandestine organizations have started their dry season offensive on arbitrary arrests, imprisonment of those who are believed to recent repatriated.
According to many sources, the forcible repatriation is often covered by some pro-RPF media out of some European countries accusing the repatriated of having committed genocide in 1994. Thousands of Rwandans the mainly Hutus inside Rwanda are expected to flee the country because of incessant insecurity conditions, menaces that they are confronted on daily basis.
The Tutsi led government is demanding that those Hutu refugees be brought back to Rwanda. Instead of going back, they will go to other countries particularly to those who respect Human rights and thus where conditions are better.
THE NAMES OF RWANDAN REFUGEES DEPORTED BY UNHCR FROM GABON AND TORTURED BY RPF TO DEATH
Majority of these refugees who were deported by force by the UNHCR agency could not see the next millenium because of the brutal torture they had to undergo in the hands of RPF. The UNHCR sent its staff to Franceville headed by a lady known by only one name of Louise of a camerron origin.
Since she was presumably given some cash to sell the Rwandan Hutu Refugees, she went and sensibilized them saying I quote "Je ne peux pas vous repatrier au Rwanda car le Rwanda sous la leadership de Mr.Kagame est devenu un pay de l'holocauste" end of the quote.
Meaning that she could not want to repatriate us back to Rwanda because Rwanda under Kagame's leadership has become a country of holocaust. All hutu refugees in Franceville were very happy hoping the best from her hypocrasy.
But she was playing the tactic to catch all Hutu Refugees in Gabon without any hint that she wanted to take them back for butchery in Kagame's Abattoirs.The whole of July of 1997. The UNHCR hired a malian airplane which was taking Hutu Refugees from Franceville town of Gabon to Kigali International Airport.
On their arrival, therse refugees could be taken to triage chambers where all young people could be taken to torture chambers at Gikondo Industrial area. This people underwent inhumane treatment. According to my fomer schoolmate who were among this Hutu refugees repatriated by force by UNHCR, he told me that they were degraded to the level that they were fed on the human waste because of hunger.
He told as the tears were freely flowing on his both chicks, "Man,it is like apocalypse inside the Godowns of Gikondo.The RPF soldiers could come and start squeezing our male genital parts, to the ladies they could rape them and put red pepper in their private parts.
It was a harrowing moment, only God,my mother and I could believe what I am telling you, otherwise"....then he stopped as he was interrupted by tears which were flowing like water slops from Mt Karisimbi.
I continued carrying out some amateur research since I wanted to unveil what happened to these people who were given out as sacrifices by the people who were supposed to protect them,mainly UNHCR,the International Communiy,and the Gabon Governemnt, which used to claim to be friends of the late President Habyalimana.
I came across a mother of one of the people who lost their lives in the Gikondo torture chambers. She was from Gisenyi Prefecture which is in the Northwest of Rwanda. This list contained around 50 names of different young men and women who died from torture of all nature. Some of these name are as follow:
1. Iyaremwe Daniel (Gaseke-Gisenyi) died the 14.01.1998
2. Uwimana Evariste (Kivumu-Kibuye) died the 03.02.1998
3. Nzarora Theogene (Kibali-Byumba) died the 09.02.1998
4. Sadiki Ntawumenya (Rubavu-Gisenyi) died the 14.02.1998
5. Niyindora Laurent (Musebeya-Gikongoro) died the 18.02.1998
6. Sindikubwabo Innocent (Maraba-Butare) died the 18.02.1998
7. Bigilimana Bernard (Shyanda-Butare) died the 06.03.1998
8. Singirankabo Oswald (Bulinga-Gitarama) died the 06.03.1998
9. Rwaheru Felicien (Kiyombe-Byumba) died the 08.03.1998
and many others.
Since 1994, the world witnesses the horrifying Tutsi minority (14%) ethnic domination, the Tutsi minority ethnic rule, 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), by the RPF criminal organization.

Dublin - THE MAN who helped save 1,268 people during the 1994 Rwandan genocide by providing shelter and safety at a Kigali hotel is in Ireland to press for peace, truth and reconciliation in conflict zones.
Paul Rusesabagina, whose story was dramatised in the acclaimed film Hotel Rwanda, will address Irish audiences this week on the lessons from conflicts in both his own country and Northern Ireland. Speaking to The Irish Times in Belfast yesterday, he said Ireland and Rwanda were similar in that conflict raged between divided communities but, he said, the two countries had handled the post-conflict situation differently.
“In Ireland Protestants and Catholics came up with an agreement that, even if they don’t reconcile necessarily, they are going to live together.”
However, he said, no such compromise had been reached yet in Rwanda. “Rwanda has a lot of lessons to learn from Ireland especially about equal justice for all and also about reconciliation for all as time goes on . . .
At least here [in Ireland] people have come to an understanding that both sides made mistakes. But in Rwanda there was a winner and a loser,” said Mr Rusesabagina, who is a long-standing critic of Rwanda’s president Paul Kagame.
“The winner today is dictating his rules, his regulation, imposing his views and dictating. In Ireland you can have a Catholic and a Protestant sitting around one table and talking. We need to learn this lesson so that one day in Rwanda Hutus and Tutsis could honestly sit down around a table.”
He said there were frequent references to the 800,000 Rwandans killed during three months of 1994. “But we forget many people, according to human rights advocates, were killed before the genocide and by the people who present themselves as victims today.”
He said he was advocating “an internationally sanctioned truth and equal justice commission for Rwanda and for the Great Lakes region of Africa as a whole”.
Mr Rusesabagina travels to Dublin today for a special screening of Hotel Rwanda and a talk in Trinity College.

Dans un document confidentiel du TPIR que nous avons réussi à nous procurer, le témoignage d’un ancien de l’APR, Georges Rwakampala, vient à nouveau confirmer nombre des révélations de Ruzibiza au juge Bruguière et met à mal les récentes déclarations de Richard Mugenzi.
George Rwakampala est un des nombreux refugiés tutsi qui ont rejoins la NRA (armée ougandaise). En 1990, il rejoint l’Armée Patriotique Rwandaise (APR), bras armé du Front
Patriotique Rwandais le mouvement politico-militaire fondé par les refugiés tutsis d’Ouganda (dont la plupart des officiers sont également membres de l’armée ougandaise) pour reprendre le pouvoir au Rwanda.Kagame n’a jamais voulu la paix
Dans son témoignage Rwakampala explique que Kagamé n’a jamais voulu la paix et ce malgré les accords de paix signé avec le régime de l’époque. En effet, Il retrace en détail comment, durant la période de mise en application des accords d’Arusha, Kagamé a minutieusement organisé l’infiltration de ses soldats, en profitant de la naïveté (ou de la complicité?) de la Mission des Nations Unies pour le Rwanda et décrit avec précision comment ces derniers entraient dans Kigali, y étaient entrainés puis était dispatchés dans des zones stratégiques pour y attendre le signal d’action.
L’attentat du 06 avril a été soigneusement préparé
Rwakampala explique que dès 19h le 06 Avril, soit une heure et demie avant l’attentat, l’ordre est venu de Kayonga, commandant du 3ème bataillon, de passer en mode « stand by one », ce qui voulait dire en ordre de combat et prêt pour lancer une offensive.
Quelques heures après l’attentat, les ordres de déploiement tombent, les cibles privilégiées sont le camp Kami, le camp de la garde présidentielle, le secteur industriel de Kicukiro et le renforcement des défenses au CND.
L’élimination systématique des Hutus
Rwakampala va plus loin et explique que les ordres étaient clairs, il fallait tuer tout les hutus. Dans un premier temps s’il ne se trouvait aucun hutu présent dans les rangs de l’APR sur place, ils pouvaient procéder directement à l’élimination des hutus sur lesquels ils mettaient la main (comme ce fut le cas notamment pour le préfet de Ruhengeri) et sinon ils les mettaient simplement aux arrêts et les transféraient au Capitaine Charles Karamba, qui se chargeait de les faire disparaitre.
Selon lui, il est difficile de chiffrer les victimes du FPR durant cette période mais pour donner un exemple il explique que la machine à tuer du FPR éliminait l’équivalent de près de trois à quatre camions militaires (de Hutus) chaque jour durant le seul mois de novembre 1994. Toujours selon lui, ces massacres étaient supervisés de près par les officiers de la DMI.
Lutte contre les infiltrés
Rwakampala décrit également les détails ignobles de la stratégie de lutte contre les abacengezi, ces infiltrés qui vers la fin des années 90 tentaient désespérément d’empêcher le FPR d’asseoir sa main mise sur le pays.
Il cite pour exemple des massacres perpétrés dans la commune de Ramba, ou l’APR est venue massacrer la population locale après la fuite des abacengezi vers les forêts du Congo. « Ils tuaient tout le monde et incendiaient leurs maisons. »
Massacres de Hutus au Congo
Rwakampala explique finalement comment lorsqu’il était en poste au Congo dans la région du Masisi, l’APR a commis un très grand nombre de massacres pour lesquels il affirme même être capable d’indiquer les lieux des fosses communes ou les victimes ont été enterrées.
Pourquoi le TPIR ne fait’ il rien de ce genre témoignages ?
Ce témoignage est un parmi de nombreux autres qui gisent dans les archives du TPIR et qui sont simplement classé sans suite. Il est dès lors légitime de s’interroger encore une fois sur la véritable mission du TPIR.
Car celle qui lui a été assigné était de rendre justice à tous les Rwandais indistinctement pour ce qui est des crimes commis durant l’année 1994 œuvrant ainsi à une véritable réconciliation nationale. Or, depuis sa création le TPIR a systématiquement ignoré et parfois même dissimulé les preuves (comme ce témoignage) mettant en cause les responsables du régime en place à Kigali.
Au vu de ce type de témoignages, il est aisé de comprendre pourquoi Kigali a fait preuve d’autant de zèle récemment pour récupérer les archives du TPIR. Il ne fait nul doute que de tels documents finiraient tout simplement dans un incinérateur une fois transférés à Kigali.
La communauté internationale devant sa responsabilité
Au lieu de participer à la réconciliation du peuple rwandais, la communauté internationale a mis sur pied un tribunal qui par sa pratique de la justice du vainqueur contribuera encore longtemps a attiser les braises de l’ethnisme et à entretenir le cycle de la haine au Rwanda.
Toutefois, comme on dit il n’est jamais trop tard pour bien faire et si la communauté internationale ne veut pas porter à nouveau la responsabilité des drames à venir dans l’histoire du Rwanda, il serait temps qu’ils fassent ce à quoi ils se sont engagés à savoir rendre justice à tous les rwandais.
Car c’est l’impunité conférée au FPR depuis 1994 qui est la véritable source de tout les maux de l’Afrique des grands lacs actuel.
Les entraves aux enquêtes du Juge Bruguière et de la justice espagnole doivent cesser !
Il est inconcevable et incompréhensible que devant l’abondance de témoignages et de rapports (Hourigan, Gersony, Lyons, etc…) en tout genre, autant sur l’attentat du 06 avril que sur les autres massacres commis par l’APR au Rwanda et Congo qui dorment dans les caves du TPIR, certaines personnes bien intentionnées aillent dénicher des témoins au Rwanda (que pourtant tout le monde reconnais être une dictature) pour appuyer tel ou tel autre thèse.
C’est comme si du temps de l’URSS, quelqu’un était allés chercher des preuves et des témoignages à visage découvert contre Staline dans les goulags de Sibérie ou même à Moscou (même ceux à l’étranger n’osaient pas parler ouvertement de peur des représailles contre leur famille restée sur place) … c’est tout simplement absurde.
Since 1994, the world witnesses the horrifying Tutsi minority (14%) ethnic domination, the Tutsi minority ethnic rule, tyrany 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), by the RPF criminal organization.

Rwanda: RUD-Urunana Strongly Denounces Intimidation and Blackmail as A System of Governance.
Recently, the Rwanda Demobilisation and Reintegration Commission (RDRC)launched in the governmental newspaper Mvaho Nshya No. 1909 of 3-9 August 2009 a Request for expressions of Interest for consultants targeting the opposition including RUD-Urunana leadership.
Based on that call for proposals, the expressed goal of such consultancywork aims at "the fact that the leaders of the FDLR and RUD, as well asa number of their deputies and key allies, live in Europe, the US andCanada is not accidental.
Rather, it reflects a policy to seekalliances and support abroad from foreign governments, regional andinternational organizations, the media, the church and NGO’s throughmisinformation and deception."It is shocking and appalling of seeing a so-called national institutionhaving recourse to bogus studies to intimidate, blackmail,and silencethe opposition political leadership.
One would remember huge sums ofmoney that have been allocated to African Rights to produce questionablereports that included RUD-Urunana leadership. Such report was full ofinaccuracies, misrepresentations, and propaganda on the rwandan regimebehalf.A lot rwandans wonder what is the real role of the RDRC.
There are a lotof reports stating that the demobilized elements of the Rwandan DefenseForces (RDF) and new Hutu returnees from the Democratic Republic ofCongo (DRC) have been enrolled by coercion either in the CNDP troops orhave been asked to join RDF units that were deployed in eastern DRC.
This was more evident in the Umoja Wetu and Kimia operations. However,such violation of basic demobilization principles has never beendenounced by the RDRC.
At the moment several reputable organizations including Human RightsWatch (HRW) and the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI)released critical reports that have put the Kigali's regime on notice and pinpointed fundamental shortcomings of the rwandan political system,the Kigali's regime is trying to blame the opposition of its misfortune instead of addressing the fundamental problems raised by kin observers of the regime performance.

In a country where lawful dissent is prohibited and/or repressedforcefully, there is no place of democratic debate. The continuous flowof refugees flocking in neighboring countries is an blatant evidence ofsuch brutality. The new refugees include little people who do not haveanyone to advocate for them and regime dignitaries whose politicalusefulness has been spent.
Even independent media outlets are notspared: the recent suspension of an international broadcasting radio aswell as a local rwandan newspaper shall be taken in this context ofintimidation and stifling dissent.
The RUD-Urunana leadership does not have anything to hide. Therefore,there is no need of hiring the so-called "experts" whose conclusions are already known.
If the rwandan regime were really interested to know whatour organization proposes to tackle challenges that besiege our home land, let the rwandan government sits around the same table in a neutral setting with the opposition and the rwandan civil society anddiscuss all the issues that have hampered our country.

In such case, thecoalition of RUD-Urunana and RPR is ready to contribute without anyreservation to the success of such endeavor. Otherwise, spending huge resources while the great majority of rwandans are starving, areincapable of sending their children to school is irresponsible.As our organization has always pointed out, the Rwandan problem ispolitical in nature and requires political solutions.
To find lasting solutions to the overall problem of the rwandan refugees in the region,it is important that the root causes of the political instability be addressed. It is our firm conviction that as long as the underlying causes of the rwandan political problem would not genuinely be addressed, the populations of the region will neither enjoy lasting peace nor sustainable development and prosperity.
In order to foster a reconciliatory Justice system, the only foundationof genuine Reconciliation, we urgently ask to hold, under the auspicesof the International Community, an Inter-Rwandan Dialogue.
In addition,our organization calls for the organization of a "Truth, Justice, andReconciliation" Commission in our homeland that would help heal a traumatized society.
Our organization remains convinced that only this Dialogue would lead tolasting peace, stability, and the establishment of new political,judiciary, and security institutions that would be the reflection of the legitimate aspirations of all the constitutive groups of the Rwandansociety.

The monument commemorating the journalist who hurled his shoes at President George W. Bush was taken down a day after it was erected, local officials in Tikrit told CNN.
Assisted by kids at the Tikrit Orphanage, sculptor Laith al-Amiri on Tuesday erected a huge brown replica of one of the shoes hurled at Bush last month by journalist Muntadhir al-Zaidi during a press conference in Baghdad.
But offic
ials from Salaheddin province told CNN that the monument was removed after a request from the 
central government, which has charges pending against al-Zaidi — now in an Iraqi jail.
After the request was made, Iraqi police visited the location to make sure that the shoe monument was removed.
“We will not allow anyone to use the government facilities and buildings for
political motives,” said Abdullah Jabara, Salaheddin deputy governor.
Al-Zaidi’s angry gesture touched a defiant nerve throughout the Arab and Muslim world. He is regarded by many people as a hero, and demonstrators last month took to the streets in the Arab world and called for his release.
The shoe monument, made of fiberglass and coated with copper, consists of the shoe
and a concrete base. The entire monument is 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) high. The shoe is 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) long and 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) wide.
The orphans helped al-Amiri build the $5,000 structure in 15 days, said Faten Abdulqader al-Naseri, the orphanage director.
“Those orphans who helped the sculptor in building this monument were the victims of Bush’s war,” al-Naseri said. “The shoe monument is a gift to the next gene
ration to remember the heroic action by the journalist.”
Saddam Hussein, the former Iraqi leader toppled by the United States in 2003, was from the Tikrit region. Al-Zaidi marked his 30th birthday in jail earlier this month. One of his brothers told CNN he “in good health and is being treated well.”
Al-Zaidi’s employer, TV network al-Baghdadia, keeps a picture of him at the top left side of the screen with a calendar showing the number of days he has spent in detention.
The network has been calling for his release. By tradition, throwing a shoe, is the most insulting act in the Arab world.

America calls for expulsion of US troopsUnion of South American Nations (UNASUR) wraps up its extraordinary summit in Argentina amongst angry protests aimed at the US-Colombia military pact.
Regional leaders from the bloc of 12 nations in South America concluded the special UNASUR summit meeting held in the southern Argentine town of Bariloche on August 28, after the member states called for enduring peace and territorial integrity of the region's mostly leftist countries.
The leaders joined voices in expressing concerns about the presence of foreign forces in the region that might pose threats to the sovereignty of the bloc's Member States - a reference to a recent military pact between the United States and Colombia. The heads of South American states in UNASUR also pledged to "abstain from using threats or force against the integrity of other states from the UNASUR."
UNASUR's Friday declaration, signed by the Member States including Colombia, reiterates the bloc's commitment "to strengthen the fight and cooperation against terrorism and transnational organized crime and its related crimes," including "the trafficking of small and light guns."
The signed document requires the UNASUR countries to refrain from posing any military threats against other nations, specifying that "military cooperation agreements must be directed by the unconditional respect to the principles and aims of the UN Charter and the fundamental principles of the UNASUR Constitutive treaty."
The move appears to be directed at Colombia where President Alvaro Uribe has allowed US military to use seven army bases in the country. Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters took to the streets around the summit venue, demanding the expulsion of hundreds of US troops to be stationed in bases across South America.
Demonstrators, accompanied by non-governmental organization activists and social campaigners, also protested against the presence of Uribe at the summit. Several unions and political parties have signed a letter of protest against the presence of the US in Latin America.
The letter was delivered to the regional leaders gathered in the Argentine mountain resort of Bariloche. UNASUR, launched in 2008 to strengthen regional ties and fight drug trafficking and corruption, comprises of 12 South American nations including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Surinam, Uruguay and Venezuela.

[SOS: Les témoins du Juge anti-terroriste français Jean Louis Bruguière sont en danger car leur identité est désormais connue].
Qui en est responsable? M. Kouchner? Le gouvernment Sarkozy? La CIA au sein de l'Elysée? Espionnage contre son propre pays au profit des puissances étrangères?

Le témoignage de Richard Mugenzi n'est pas crédible
Depuis le témoignage de Richard Mugenzi qui met en doute les conclusions du juge français Jean-Louis Bruguière à propos des auteurs de l'assassinat du président Juvénal Habyarimana, la presse pro-FPR s'en donne à coeur joie.
La machine à démonter le rapport du juge anti-terroriste est bien relancée. Mais quel crédit accorder au témoignage de l'ex-opérateur de l'armée rwandaise que la presse partisane présente comme un espion de Juvénal Habyarimana alors qu'il n'était qu'un simple opérateur radio chargé d'émettre et de recevoir des messages?
Au delà de cette polémique qui amuse les connaisseurs du dossier rwandais, c'est la méthodologie du juge français qui est critiquable sur la forme et non sur le fond. Contrairement à l'enquête du juge espagnol Fernando Merelles qui a abouti aux mêmes conclusions, monsieur Bruguière a dévoilé ses sources et les noms de ses témoins.
En plus lors de la tragi-comédie montée par le ministre français des affaires étrangères et mettant en scène madame Rose Kabuye au mois de novembre 2008, les avocats du FPR ont eu accès au dossier d'instruction. Les noms de tous les témoins et leurs témoignages sont connus. Le démontage du rapport est donc devenu plus facile pour décrédibiliser l'enquête en s'attaquant aux témoins clé retournables ou vulnérables.
Richard Mugenzi était une proie facile depuis que son identité était connue. Avant de faire ses déclarations, il a quitté la Tanzanie où il travaillait depuis 1998 pour le tribunal pénal international pour le Rwanda (TPIR). C'est à Kigali devant un journaliste français très proche du FPR, Jean François Dupaquier, qu'il s'est confié avant de poser fièrement à la une du New Times du 28 août, un journal quotidien anglophone qui véhicule la propagande du régime.
Il faut rappeler également que les premières déclarations de Abdul Ruzibiza lors de sa rétractation ont été faites sur les antennes d'une radio proche du FPR, Contact FM, et un journaliste français de Libération également proche du FPR, Christophe Ayad. Autre fait marquant de cette affaire de manipulation criminelle c'est l'assassinat du ministre Juvénal Uwilingiyimana dont le corps a été retrouvé dans un canal à Bruxelles.
Il a été tué par des professionnels qui lui ont enlevé les poumons afin de camoufler les preuves médico-légales de sa mort avant d'être jeté dans l'eau. En effet, quand il y a présence d'eau dans les poumons à l'autopsie, cela veut dire que la personne était vivante avant la noyade. L'ex-ministre de l'industrie et de l'artisanat et ex-directeur de l'ORTPN (office rwandais du tourisme et des parcs nationaux) a été assassiné parce qu'il avait refusé de cautionner les manipulations sur l'assassinat du président Habyarimana.
Les assassins voulaient qu'il déclare que c'est l'Akazu qui a tiré sur l'avion présidentiel pour déclencher le génocide. Il a payé cher sa dignité. Richard Mugenzi n'a pas eu le courage de Juvénal Uwilingiyimana. C'était la mort ou le retournement. Reste à voir si la mayonnaise va prendre dans ce dossier lourd et hypersensible qui a entraîné l'assassinat de deux chefs d'état et des milliers de morts innocents.
Mais on ne restera pas éternellement aux hypothèses, il faudra qu'un jour la vérité éclate, les Rwandais en sont convaincus. Et comme l'a dit l'ex-procureur du TPIR, la Suissesse Carla Del Ponte, "si c'est prouvé que c'est le FPR qui a tiré sur l'avion, c'est toute l'histoire du génocide rwandais à revoir."
C'est ce que craignent le FPR et ses défenseurs qui multiplient manipulations et assassinats. Quand au juge français qui a pris sa retraite, ses témoins sont en danger car leur identité est désormais connue.

Au delà de cette polémique qui amuse les connaisseurs du dossier rwandais, c'est la méthodologie du juge français qui est critiquable sur la forme et non sur le fond. Contrairement à l'enquête du juge espagnol Fernando Merelles qui a abouti aux mêmes conclusions, monsieur Bruguière a dévoilé ses sources et les noms de ses témoins.
En plus lors de la tragi-comédie montée par le ministre français des affaires étrangères et mettant en scène madame Rose Kabuye au mois de novembre 2008, les avocats du FPR ont eu accès au dossier d'instruction. Les noms de tous les témoins et leurs témoignages sont connus. Le démontage du rapport est donc devenu plus facile pour décrédibiliser l'enquête en s'attaquant aux témoins clé retournables ou vulnérables.
Richard Mugenzi était une proie facile depuis que son identité était connue. Avant de faire ses déclarations, il a quitté la Tanzanie où il travaillait depuis 1998 pour le tribunal pénal international pour le Rwanda (TPIR). C'est à Kigali devant un journaliste français très proche du FPR, Jean François Dupaquier, qu'il s'est confié avant de poser fièrement à la une du New Times du 28 août, un journal quotidien anglophone qui véhicule la propagande du régime.
Il faut rappeler également que les premières déclarations de Abdul Ruzibiza lors de sa rétractation ont été faites sur les antennes d'une radio proche du FPR, Contact FM, et un journaliste français de Libération également proche du FPR, Christophe Ayad. Autre fait marquant de cette affaire de manipulation criminelle c'est l'assassinat du ministre Juvénal Uwilingiyimana dont le corps a été retrouvé dans un canal à Bruxelles.
Il a été tué par des professionnels qui lui ont enlevé les poumons afin de camoufler les preuves médico-légales de sa mort avant d'être jeté dans l'eau. En effet, quand il y a présence d'eau dans les poumons à l'autopsie, cela veut dire que la personne était vivante avant la noyade. L'ex-ministre de l'industrie et de l'artisanat et ex-directeur de l'ORTPN (office rwandais du tourisme et des parcs nationaux) a été assassiné parce qu'il avait refusé de cautionner les manipulations sur l'assassinat du président Habyarimana.
Les assassins voulaient qu'il déclare que c'est l'Akazu qui a tiré sur l'avion présidentiel pour déclencher le génocide. Il a payé cher sa dignité. Richard Mugenzi n'a pas eu le courage de Juvénal Uwilingiyimana. C'était la mort ou le retournement. Reste à voir si la mayonnaise va prendre dans ce dossier lourd et hypersensible qui a entraîné l'assassinat de deux chefs d'état et des milliers de morts innocents.
Mais on ne restera pas éternellement aux hypothèses, il faudra qu'un jour la vérité éclate, les Rwandais en sont convaincus. Et comme l'a dit l'ex-procureur du TPIR, la Suissesse Carla Del Ponte, "si c'est prouvé que c'est le FPR qui a tiré sur l'avion, c'est toute l'histoire du génocide rwandais à revoir."
C'est ce que craignent le FPR et ses défenseurs qui multiplient manipulations et assassinats. Quand au juge français qui a pris sa retraite, ses témoins sont en danger car leur identité est désormais connue.

Get a deep insight into “the house negger” definition and you will understand why Hutus, 85% of the Rwandan population is getting exterminated.
I hear a lot of you polar bears out there telling me, "Hey, nigger! Why you so angry now? It's nigger history month, ain't it? Gonna learn about the history of the boombox and rape, eh?" You damn right I'm happy that finally America has taken one month out of their normally 12 month White History schedule.
But it's a pyrrhic victory at best; Black History Month, as it is currently implemented, is a bandage solution to a bleeding wound full of cracka' pus. After years of celebrating it, I'm reasonably certain it is just the White Man pulling a sheet over the Black Nation, like they used to do until the KKK was changed over to a covert organization in 1989.

"Brothers and sisters, if you and I would just realize, that once we learn to talk the language that they understand, they will then get the point. You can't ever reach a man if you don't speak his language.

If a man speaks the language of brute force, you can't come to him with peace.
If a man speaks French, you can't speak to him in German.
If he speaks Swahili, you can't communicate with him in Chinese.
*
You have to find out, what does this man speak? Once you know his language, learn how to speak his language. He'll get the point, there will be some dialogue, some communication, and some understanding will be developed.
You've been in this country long enough to know the language the Klan speaks, they only know one language. What you and I have to start doing in 1965, I mean that's what you have to do because most of us have already been doing it, is start learning a new language. Learn the language that they understand, and then when they come up on our door step to talk, we can talk."

Definition:
- House nigger
A black person that does their best to please white people even if it means disowning their own racial identity.
"Uncle Tom House Niggers do scare me" - KRS One "House Niggas" (1989) - House nigger
A black person that sucks up to the white man for benefits. From slave times where the house nigga would get to work inside the house as opposed to picking cotton out in the hot sun.
"Man, yous a house nigger" "No I ain't!" "yes u are! youd suck a crackers dick just to get some kool aid!!!" - House nigger
The house nigger, as defined by Malcolm X, is the slave who imagines himself to be thought of as kin by his master because they live in the same house. A modern-day equivalent is a dishwasher who has a chip on his shoulder bec
ause he busts suds at a four-star hotel or restaurant.
President Robert Mugabe about Dr Jendayi Frazer:
...You saw that little girl trotting around the globe like a prostitute => here next
"What chu talking about?! I aint no field nigger slave! He aint my massa, he's my pal -- we live together see! I am a house nigger!" "There's a huge difference between a guy who washes dishes at Denny's and a guy who washes dishes at the Ritz. The former is a dirtbag and the latter is a pro." - House Nigger
A black Republican.
Any black Republican is a house nigger because the GOP could care less about them, hence the Southern Strategy. - House nigger
It refers originally to slavery times, when black women used to be raped by the white slave owners to produce mixed children. They would usually grow up working in the plantation house and sometimes would receive education, unlike the black slaves who worked outside in the fields.
The mixed children would associate with whites and have privileges the slaves did
not. Now the term refers in a derogatory manner to lighter-skinned people of color, who are sometimes perceived as acting superior to darker-skinned people, and who because of their color, association with whites in what is viewed as a fawning manner, and greater success in life are sometimes resented by those less fortunate.
Since Rasheed got that office job, he is full of himself and acting like a house nigger. - House nigger
1. A black man in the White House, generally one exhibiting a toned-down version of African-American culture. 2. Barack Obama after November 4,2008.

A domestic servant engaged in cleaning or gardening, either an African-American US citizen or a central american immigrant without papers.
My house nigger, she comes from Guatamala. She's without papers. Anyway, she sure can wash dishes. Want her number?
