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

Kagame has re-made Rwanda but he is far from re-making Rwandans. He has failed to check on his "strong men's" powers and authority. Such men like James Muson, Jack Nziza, James Kabarebe, Dr. Ndahiro, Charles Kayonga, and the list continues, have unlimited powers which they actually further 'delegate' to individuals who also construct their own power bases.
It is this phenomena, which because it flows along the 'natural' line of 'Tutsis', that people refer to as Tutsi dominance in Rwanda. I am afraid, it is not every Tutsi but to the extent that Kagame is merely looking on while the ordinary people suffer, then it may be perceived as the policy of his regime. Yeah, it is interesting to look at the list of Ministers, diplomats, senior officers in the army and police, General Secretaries, Governors, MPs, Senators, Chair Persons and members of national Commissions, Mayors, Directors at every level, among other leaders in the country. There are hadly Hutus and Twas! I tend to think this uneven distribution of power among the different tribes of Rwanda might make it difficult for Rwandans to work together.
Corruption in Rwanda!!! Kagame is 'lucky' in the sense that there is no vibrant civil society in the country that can make much noise about corruption in the country. He has also managed to control the media to the extent that everything written in the news papers must be in favour of the regime. Otherwise, it is difficult to get to anything in Rwanda if you do not belong to 'the power house'. Kagame, please work on that.
Kagame should also accept that there are many of his army officers and many civilians (i.e. Tutsis) who killed the Hutus. Mass graves of the Hutu who were killed exist throughout the country.
If these people are never tried, the Hutus will not feel a sense of Justice and so, this will remain a fundamental problem for generations to come. Kagame should be open, and create an environmnet in which a South African like Truth and Reconciliation Commission will develop and operate.

Kagame should involve the Hutus and Twas as equal shareholders in the administration of the State.
Kagme should allow his viable and robust political opponents to exist without fear or intimidation in the country; he should allow the Rwandan civil society to develop. Politics of manipulation should be played down by his regime Rwandans should not resort to war.
Any and all politicians in Rwanda should denounce violence and war, then work hard to make sure that the different ethnic groups are recognised and empowered.

I am Tutsi myself. I fought the war and did a lot to stop the genocide. I agree that the 1994 genocide was planed by selfish politicians in the region as well as some politicians in Europe. If you asked me to tell you why I fell out with Kagame, my simple answer is that I thought Kagame was going to usher in fundamental change.
This did not happen. I wanted him to democratize Rwanda. I wanted him to reduce the powers of the president, I wanted him to go beyond ethnic divisions, I wanted him to unite Rwandans. This he failed. First, it became a principle that any Tutsi army officer who got involved with or married a Hutu lady was either killed or the relationship was frustrated. This was done with Kagame's approval.

This was done with Kagame's approval.
What is interesting is that the game Kagame is playing against the Hutu and Twa is the very game the Hutu will play against the Tutsi when they also reorganize and come to power. You wait, it wont take too long! The good thing is that it looks like Radio Katwe is here to stay and the very people who defend Kagame will be the very people complaining when their turn comes.
It is true there are no identity cards indicating who is Tutsi, Hutu or Twa. But frankly speaking, is there any sober person who has ever lived in Rwanda under Kagame that would say there is no discrimination? True, discrimination in Rwanda is now done secretly unlike before the Genocide.
For example, let us mention the two camps that are the masters of appointments in Rwanda namely the James Musoni and the Dr. Ndahiro camps. Who can qualify through either of these camps for appointment if he/she is not Tutsi? No doubt there are some Hutus in "strategic" places.
But let us be open, do such people like the Prime Minister, the Speaker of Parliament, the Minister of defense, etc, all of whom are Hutu, make any crucial decision? It is even clear from their facial expression that they are insecure. Some Tutsi young boys are real the controllers of these seemingly strong men. Friends ... let us be frank. Kagame regime must change or else, when the Hutu finally take power, the Tutsi should be prepared to be treated the same way.

There is a problem in Kigali under Kagame, every thing that comes up, they will immediately go to their defensive. Every body who tries to say something contrary to the "correct line" is immediately referred to as a killer!
By the way, do you know how many people we as RPA killed in Byumba and in many other places? Why isn't this also talked about openly? Do you know how many Hutu that were killed by RPA?! Do you know how many Tutsi have been killed by Kagame? Dont just blindly defend Kagame, he is a killer!! This he knows himself.
He even ever asked us in some senior officers' meeting "what will happen when the world comes to know everything we did?" Do you think France and Spain are stupid? Those guys are right. The only mistake they did is that their list of wanted RPA officers is short. Also, the list does not include Tutsi civilians who killed. Otherwise Kagame is a killer!

(The writer is referring to international arrest warrants issued by a Spanish judge. See "Spanish judge issues arrest warrant for 40 Rwandan army officers and men" of 13 Feb 2008 on our front page - Editor)
The common belief that Kagame does not stomach corruption, wait a moment! All the names of people like Kalegeya and others, whom Kagame allegedly "dealt with" for corruption are simply sacrifices. It is because they disagreed with the guy ( Kagame) on the way forwards for the administration of the state.
The real corrupt people who accept to do business for Kagame are never bothered! Consider James Musoni, Dr. Ndahiro, Nziza, among others. The good thing with Kagame, and as some writer referred to him as being good at creating a positive image of himself in public is that when one opposes him, he will get rid of that person under pretext of "fighting corruption".
What about Kagame's wife? Do you know how corrupt she is? What about the Charles Kayongas, James, etc.. these are extremely corrupt guys.

Just pray that there is a change in Kagame's approach or let us us pray for a bloodless regime change in Kigali.
Since 1994, the world witnesses the horrifying Tutsi minority (14%) ethnic domination, the Tutsi minority ethnic rule, tyranny and corruption in Rwanda. The current Tutsi-led 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.

2010 Rwanda Presidential Election - Rud-Urunana will not Participate in such Sham Process as the coalition of the Rally for Unity and Democracy (RUD-Urunana) and The Rassemblement du Peuple Rwandais (RPR) has stated publically, our respective organizations will neither participate in the upcoming presidential elections nor support any candidate in the next year electoral process organized the Kigali’s regime.
We are strongly of the opinion that the upcoming electoral process will neither be free nor fair therefore failing the basic and fundamental principles in a free and democratic society.
We are strongly of the opinion that the upcoming electoral process will neither be free nor fair therefore failing the basic and fundamental principles in a free and democratic society.
As it has been stated recently by several personalities including Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton in her speech before the Council on Foreign Relations and more recently at one of her african stops, ruling democratically shall not be limited to holding elections.
But it is important that a democratic system "also requires strong institutions like an independent judiciary, an independent and free press, the protection of minority rights …" We may also add that a democratic society shall foster a vibrant political opposition.
Based on these self-evident principles, the current rwandan regime is far from meeting any of these requirements. Although, above the surface, the rwandan government trumpets its achievements, a great majority of rwandans live in abject poverty and endemic famine. More importantly, they have been denied their basic fundamental human rights.
Hundreds of thousands of rwandan citizens are languishing without charges in squalid prisons for more than a decade while being denied due process. The justice system is rigged with incompetent and corrupt judiciary.
By administering unfair and inequitable trials, the so-called Gacaca courts have become more an instrument of repression, intimidation, and coercion than a tool to heal the rwandan society.
As per the current Constitution, all the political parties have to be members of the “Forum des Partis” that is managed and tightly controlled by the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF). Therefore, how can any candidate pretend to run for office when he/she has to report to the “Forum des Partis” that, in return, is supporting the RPF candidate?
It is fair to point out that there is no viable internal political opposition since any challenge to Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) and Paul Kagame's rule has been met with fierce repression. If not killed or thrown in prison, the only other option opposition leaders or ordinary citizens
irrespective of their ethnicity have, consist of accepting the RPF hegemony or going into exile.
The right of lawful dissent has been systematically denied to rwandans; hence, anyone who dares to criticize Paul Kagame's regime is quickly labeled as "genocidaire, negationist, and/or revisionist" . More recently, the regime has come up with an ingenious scheme to silence any person perceived as a threat: what it takes is to label the individual as "harboring a genocidaire ideology".
Such labels are enough to have someone killed, disappear without a trace, or thrown in prison without any recourse.There is no viable free press, since any journalist who challenges the official doctrine or unearths corruption practices of the regime cronies is thrown in prison or elects to go into exile.
Recent accounts of Rwandans who fled their homeland are very reveling. The entire economy is in hands of occult operators that are linked one way or another to the RPF or to the Akazu of Kagame's cronies who control, manage, and allocate the meager country resources while pillaging resources of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
No one should be above the law. From its inception, our organization has consistently advocated that all Hutus, Tutsis, and Twas criminals, irrespective of their ethnic background and/or political affiliation should be persecuted for their deeds. However, it is apparent that to date, the current justice system has been mainly set up to settle scores with the Hutu population.
Our organizations would like to remind that no later than February 6, 2008, Fernando Andeu, a Spanish judge, has indicted forty (40) rwandan army officers on several counts of genocide, human rights violations, and terrorism.
The judge decision was based on detailed accounts of eyewitnesses and was carefully made after several years of painstaking investigation that resulted in unearthing damning evidence that incriminated Paul Kagame, President of Rwanda, and his senior Rwandan military leadership.
These indictments indicate clearly that Paul Kagame and his cronies were engaged willfully and knowingly in committing horrible crimes against Rwandans, Congolese, as well as foreign nationals. In any other jurisdiction, any person indicted on such grave accounts would not be allowed to run for office.
The executive interference in the functioning of the judiciary is blatant. Recently, in the north of the country, a person was recently stripped of his properties that were given to an individual who returned from exile. This decision was made by a local administrative council controlled by the RPF that overruled previous court decisions.
Shockingly, these repetitive judiciary decisions were all in favor of the defendant. Such executive intrusion indicates clearly that no matter what is done around the country, no decision can be made without the RPF, Paul Kagame and his cronies blessing.
There are indications that throughout the country, numerous citizen have been obligated to join and adhere to the RPF. Any one who refuses and/or hesitates may be subjected to imprisonment by the Gacaca courts, disappearance or assassination.
All Rwandan citizens irrespective of their ethnic backgrounds live constantly in fear and despair since coercion and intimidation are part of the “modus operandi” of the
Kagame’s regime.
Such strategy was advised to ensure the outcome of the next year polls as was the 2003 presidential election. However, the Kigali’s regime has to show to its supporters and the International Community a pluralistic slate of candidates in the upcoming process.
That’s why the regime has launched concerted efforts to lure several candidates even if the latter don’t stand any chances.
Since the upcoming election can not be qualified of free nor fair, the coalition RUD-Urunana and RPR will not take part in such distorted process that is aimed to legitimate an oppressive and anti-democratic regime.
In addition, our coalition does not and will not support any candidate who engages in such process. Our organizations will continue to call upon Rwandan people and the International Community to pressure the Rwandan Government to engage in a constructive Inter-Rwandan Dialogue with the opposition and the civil society.
Only this Dialogue will ensure the establishment of political institutions that are genuinely representative of the Rwandan society and will form the foundation of a transparent political transition.
Without such a Dialogue and whatever the outcome of these upcoming presidential elections, the rwandan political situation will not get better as long as the political opposition would be either be silenced and/or sidelined.
Since 1994, the world witnesses the horrifying Tutsi minority (14%) ethnic domination, the Tutsi minority ethnic rule, tyranny and corruption in Rwanda.
The current Tutsi-led 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.

According to official sources here in Kigali, the Rwandan government has recently hired international experts to fight against the leaders of RUD-Urunana in Europe and North America.
According to official sources here in Kigali, the Rwandan government has recently hired international experts to fight against the leaders of RUD-Urunana in Europe and North America.
These leaders include, but are not limited to, Dr. Felicien Kanyamibwa and Dr. Augustin Dukuze.
These international experts recently won the contract following an offer launched by the Rwandan Government on June 22, 2009 and ended on July 24, 2009 with a substantial amount of $400,000 per 6 months. The contract is indefinitely renewable and the budget is estimated at 1 million dollars a year.
The offer was launched by Jean Sayinzoga, the Chairman of Rwanda Demobilisation and Reintegration Commission (RDRC), under an order titled “Recruitment of International Sensitisation consultant No. 02/CS/RDRC/09.
For more information, please visit the Rwandan Government website "Tenders and consulting opportunities in Rwanda and worldwide" at the following link:
The offer clearly states that RUD-Urunana in North America is the enemy number one of the Rwandan Government. According to the offer, RUD-Urunana has been targeted because of "the critically detrimental role played by the RUD-Urunana's leaders abroad, particularly in Europe and North America, in sustaining the armed movements on the ground, in projecting a powerful image of the opposition abroad and in promoting their goals internationally... RUD-Urunana reflects a policy to seek alliances and support abroad from foreign governments, regional and international organizations, the media, the church and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), through misinformation and deception".
The leaders of RUD-Urunana in North America, especially Dr. Felicien Kanyamibwa and Dr. Augustin Dukuze are particularly targeted in this contract.
This contract, which is aimed at thwarting political activities of RUD-Urunana by specifically targeting its leaders, reveals at least three important things in the Rwandan political arena:
1-Our (Rwandan) government is desperate and ready to do everything in its power so that it can keep its head above the waters.
2-RUD-Urunana may have valuable secrets that we (Rwandans) do not know, but such secrets are absolutely well known by the RPF secret services.
3-As someone has already said it before, Dr. Felicien Kanyamibwa is actually much better political strategist than all RPF leaders combined.
Ultimately, our (Rwandan) government finally recognizes that RUD-Urunana represents the biggest political threat to current regime in Kigali both diplomatically and politically. This threat is mostly linked to current diplomatic and political problems, but also many problems in the media!
If I were one of the targeted individuals i.e. Dr. Felicien Kanyamibwa or Dr. Augustin Dukuze, I will immediately take extra cautions.
Let us follow closely this confrontation between the son of Mugogwe, Kanyamibwa, and his half-brothers and/or cousins within the RPF.

AMPALA, 11 septembre (Xinhua) -- Le gouvernement ougandais a ordonné la fermeture de trois autres stations de radio, les accusant d'inciter à la violence. Au total quatre radios ont donc été suspendues suite aux émeutes de la capitale qui ont fait au moins quatre morts. 
"Ces stations de radio ont violé les règlements de l'émission. Elles mobilisent et incitent les populations aux émeutes", a-t-il déclaré.
"Les violences et l'anarchie ont été précédées par les émissions inflammatoires et sectaires de ces stations de radio, qui ont incité systématiquement les auditeurs à provoquer des chaos et des destructions" , a-t-il affirmé.
Les émeutes ont éclaté jeudi dans plusieurs parties de Kampala et ces banlieues, après que des médias eurent annoncé l'arrestation du Premier ministre du royaume du Buganda qui, selon la presse locale, prépare la visite du roi du Buganda, Ronald Mwenda Mutebi II, dans la région de Kayunga, à 45 km au nord-est de la capitale.
La police aurait empêché le haut responsable du Buganda d'aller dans cette région pour raisons de sécurité, car une faction ethnique séparatiste, Banyala, rejette l'autorité du roi du Buganda.
Jeudi, les autorités avaient déjà interdit l'émission de la radio, Central Broadcasting Service, sur deux fréquences. Celle-ci appartient partiellement au royaume du Buganda.
Les émeutes ont commencé par des barrages dressés sur les routes, au centre de la capitale comme dans les banlieues, avant de se transformer en pillage des boutiques, mise à feu des véhicules et de postes de police, et attaques contre les civils et les agents de police.
La police a réagi avec l'appui de l'armée, en faisant usage de gaz lacrymogène pour dispercer les émeutiers à Kampala. La vie normale a repris vendredi.
"Dans les émeutes, quatre personnes ont trouvé la mort dans des circonstances qui font l'objet d'une enquête", a déclaré Masiko. Certains médias locaux annoncent dix morts et des dizaines de blessés.
Par ailleurs, la police a déclaré vendredi que le déplacement du roi du Buganda, prévu samedi, ne sera pas autorisé.
"Nous l'avons invité à annuler son voyage. Cette décision est basée sur les raisons de sécurité", a affirmé le général Kayihura.
Il a également mis en garde les manifestants contre des attaques visant les officiers et postes de la police ainsi que les étangres.
"Nous ne pouvons pas laisser cela continuer. Nous allons tirer sur tous ceux qui tentent d'attaquer et incendier nos locaux", a-t- il averti.
En Ouganda, les royaumes traditionnels avaient été interdits en 1966 par l'ancier dirigeant Milton Obote. Au début des années 1990, le président Yoweri Museveni en a restauré quatre, comme institutions culturelles. Le Buganda est le plus grand des royaumes traditionnels de l'Ouganda actuel, qui occupe le centre du pays, y compris la région de la capitale. Ces derniers temps, il y a des frictions entre le Buganda et le gouvernement sur des problèmes comme le drioit foncier et le système politique

KAMPALA (Reuters) - Gunshots rang out in the Ugandan capital Kampala Friday and at least three people were killed as security forces clashed with rioters for a second day.The violence has been triggered by land and power disputes between President Yoweri Museveni's government and leaders of Buganda, one of the country's four ancient kingdoms.
The largely cultural and ceremonial monarch of Buganda, Kabaka Ronald Mutebi, plans to visit the flashpoint town of Kayunga Saturday, making more bloodshed likely.
A spokesman for Kampala's main Mulago Hospital said three people were killed Friday. Deputy police spokesman Richard Musesi told Reuters 50 had been admitted to hospital and about the same number arrested.
Among the dead was a teen-ager who had been shot in the head and was wrapped in a shawl, surrounded by sobbing relatives. Witnesses said he and another young man were killed by security forces riding armored personnel carriers.
"This kid was not in the protest. They shot him in a shop," the boy's mother told Reuters. She did not give her name.
Kampala's streets were mostly deserted, and thick plumes of black smoke from burning tires rose over the city's hills. Police said four people had been killed Thursday in similar clashes, but denied using excessive force.
Two foreign exchange dealers told Reuters the market was shrugging off the violence. The Ugandan shilling was little changed from Thursday at 1,960 versus the dollar.
The inspector general of police, Major General Kale Kayihura, decried "hooliganism" and "senseless lawlessness" also afflicting other towns in central Uganda.
In a statement, he said the violence was preceded by inflammatory and sectarian broadcasts by CBS Radio, which is owned by the kingdom of Buganda, and said anyone who wanted to cause chaos or disrupt the peace would be dealt with decisively.
CBS Radio was taken off air Thursday, and Friday the authorities closed three more stations they accused of inciting violence: Suubi FM, Radio Sapientia and Radio Two Akabooza.
BIG TEST FOR MUSEVENI
East Africa's third biggest economy has been hailed for its political and economic stability over the last two decades following civil war in the 1970s and 80s.
Investor interest is heating up in Uganda's west where an estimated 2 billion barrels of crude have been discovered by explorers including London-listed Tullow Oil.
Museveni has been widely admired for fiscal reforms and poverty alleviation programs. Critics, including some Western donors, accuse him of rights abuses and repression.

Scores Injured and at Least 4 Killed in Downtown KampalaSeptember 11, 2009
Georgette Gagnon, Africa director at Human Rights Watch:
Georgette Gagnon, Africa director at Human Rights Watch:
"Violence during protests may require that the police use force, but it must be proportionate"
(Kampala) - The Ugandan police should stop using unnecessary lethal force against protesters in Kampala, where scores of people were injured and at least four died on September 10, 2009, Human Rights Watch said today. Human Rights Watch called for a prompt and impartial investigation into the incident, and urged the police to use restraint during future protests. The violence followed tensions caused by planned celebrations of National Youth Day in the eastern district of Kayunga on September 12. A delegation from Uganda's Buganda kingdom went there to observe preparations for the festivities, where the kabaka, the king of the Baganda people, was to make a formal presentation.
The police stopped them from entering the district, where a breakaway ethnic faction, the Banyala, rejects the kabaka's authority. Baganda youth protested in the Kampala suburbs and downtown throughout the afternoon of September 10. Police reacted by firing tear gas and live ammunition. It remains unclear whether any of the protesters engaged in violence.
"The available evidence raises serious concerns that police used excessive force in confronting demonstrators," said Georgette Gagnon, Africa director at Human Rights Watch. "A thorough investigation is needed to find out who is responsible for yesterday's violence."Human Rights Watch researchers witnessed at least 35 injured people arriving on motorcycle taxis and ambulances at Mulago National Hospital during a two-hour period in the evening. Most had been beaten or hit by rocks.
Others had been shot and seriously wounded. Human Rights Watch saw the body of one man who witnesses said had been killed downtown by a stray bullet. A young boy was hit and killed by a stray bullet on the way home from school, a witness to that episode said.
The National Broadcasting Station televised severe beatings of civilians in the afternoon. In one instance, at least 30 people were assembled on a sidewalk, and the police forced men to remove their shirts. A group of men in civilian clothes, standing alongside the uniformed police, beat these people with large sticks.
Witnesses said that the men who carried out the beatings are members of an informal volunteer militia known as the Kiboko Stick Squad, which works alongside the police. A police spokesperson denied that members of the Kiboko Stick Squad had been deployed.
The Uganda Broadcasting Council, a government body in charge of monitoring broadcasting services in the country, shut down one radio station, the Central Broadcasting Station, owned by the kingdom of Buganda, allegedly for engaging in sectarian acts.
Taking the station off the air prevented people from getting information about violence in and around the city. Knowledgeable sources said that the council told another station, Radio Simba, to stop covering the day's events or face being shut down.
During demonstrations, the police should abide by the United Nations Principles on the Use of
Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials, Human Rights Watch said. The principles call upon law enforcement officials to apply nonviolent means before resorting to the use of force, to use force only in proportion to the seriousness of the offense, and to use lethal force only when strictly unavoidable to protect life.

"Violence during protests may require that the police use force, but it must be proportionate," said Gagnon. "Here it appears that the police use of live ammunition prompted an escalation in bloodshed."

En séjour privé au Rwanda, Baudouin Dunia Baharanyi
A la veillé parlementaire annoncée pour ce mardi 15 septembre 2009, un élu du peuple risque de manquer à l’appel au Palais du Peuple. Il s’agit de Baudouin Dunia Baharanyi, député national élu du territoire de Masisi, dans la province du Nord-Kivu et membre du Groupe parlementaire du MLC (Mouvement de Libération du Congo).
Selon des informations parvenues au Phare, cet « honorable » se trouve aux arrêts et placé en détention préventive dans une prison de la capitale du Rwanda, Kigali. Il a fait l’objet d’un mandat d’arrêt délivré contre lui par un Procureur rwandais et appréhendé à partir de Gisenyi, où il était en séjour privé.
A en croire les premiers éléments du dossier, Baudouin Dunia est poursuivi du chef d’abus de confiance, pour n’avoir par remboursé, dans les délais convenus, un crédit obtenu de la Banque de Commerce, Développement et Investissement (BCDI) du Rwanda, lequel s’élèverait à plusieurs millions de dollars américains. Tous les efforts déployés par Le Phare pour obtenir un chiffre précis ont été vains.
Entre autres éléments d’information parvenus au quotidien de l’avenue Lukusa, il y a ceux faisant état de l’utilisation, par le député incriminé, des fonds décaissés par la BCDI dans l’achat et la mise en valeur des fermes dans les territoires de Masisi, au Nord-Kivu, et de Kalehe, au Sud-Kivu.
L’autre précision parvenue au Phare est que la justice rwandaise a décidé de se saisir de Baudouin Dunia Baharanyi pour deux raisons: 1°) c’est un citoyen rwandais, 2°) ses mouvements incontrôlés entre le Rwanda et la République Démocratique du Congo font craindre sa fuite. Aussi a-t-on décidé de le maintenir en prison jusqu’à l’ouverture de son procès.
Il convient de signaler que le patron de Banque de commerce, de Développement et d’investissement du Rwanda, considéré lui aussi comme complice de Baudouin Dunia dans le processus ayant abouti à l’octroi du crédit non remboursé, se trouve lui aussi aux arrêts.
L’on se trouve ainsi devant une situation fort délicate où la justice rwandaise estime avoir arrêté un ressortissant du Rwanda, coupable du non respect de ses engagements financiers vis-à-vis d’une institution financière de son pays. Dans ces conditions, l’immunité parlementaire dont aurait pu se prévaloir ce député national congolais est sans effet. D’où son maintien en détention.
La réaction de Thomas Luhaka (MLC)
Approché par le Phare à partir de Goma, dans le Nord-Kivu, où il se trouve en séjour privé, le député national Thomas Luhaka, Secrétaire Exécutif du MLC (Mouvement de Libération du Congo), a confirmé l’arrestation de son collègue Baudouin Dunia, membre de son parti et de son groupe parlementaire. Il a tenu à préciser que l’intéressé se trouvait au Rwanda dans le cadre de ses activités privées et qu’il a été arrêté, selon lui, comme citoyen congolais.
Il a confirmé aussi l’arrestation du numéro un de la BCDI, toujours en rapport avec le même dossier. Thomas Luhaka a fait savoir qu’à ce stade, le MLC ne disposait pas encore de données suffisantes sur l’affaire pour entreprendre une intervention pertinente. Toutefois, la direction du MLC suit le dossier avec le maximum d’attention.
L’Assemblée Nationale silencieuse
Le Phare a tenté aussi d’obtenir des renseignements du côté du Bureau de l’Assemblée Nationale, mais tous les essais d’entrer en contact avec l’un ou l’autre responsable se sont soldés par des échecs. D’où, il est difficile de savoir si la chambre basse du Parlement est au courant ou non de l’arrestation de son membre au Rwanda.
L’opinion congolaise, qui est intriguée d’apprendre que le député national aux arrêts au pays de Paul Kagame serait un citoyen rwandais, attend impatiemment un éclairage non seulement au sujet de son statut, mais aussi des griefs réellement mis à sa charge.
L’on aimerait connaître la nature de la flagrance des faits mis à charge de Baudouin Dunia, au point de faire fondre son immunité parlementaire comme neige au soleil. Car, jusqu’à preuve du contraire, c’est un citoyen congolais, élu du peuple par-dessus le marché qui se trouve aux arrêts dans un territoire étranger.

Mme Mc Kinney Cynthia- Les crimes commis en RDC et au Rwanda et qui cristallisent la crise dans les Grands Lacs à la base des déboires que continuent à subir ces deux pays doivent être élucidées pour ramener la paix réelle dans cette région, selon la congressiste américaine Cynthia Mc Kinney.
« Nous avons déposé une plainte, avec constitution de partie civile en Espagne, avec le prix Nobel argentin Adolfo Perez Esquivel, Juan Carrero, candidat espagnol au prix Nobel de la paix, et trois municipalités espagnoles pour élucider les crimes commis en RDC et au Rwanda de 1990 à 2002 ».
Ainsi s’est exprimée la congressiste américaine Cynthia, selon une information mise en ligne hier de New York et reçue à notre journal. Mme Mc Kinney prétend requalifier les crimes commis en République rwandaise en 1994. Elle était l’envoyée spéciale de l’ancien président américain en Afrique et a révélé que « l’attentat du 6 avril 1994 contre le président rwandais est un coup d’Etat ».
Cette révélation serait le résultat d’une enquête menée par Cynthia Mc Kinney avec les agents du FBI, de la CIA, des membres du Tribunal Pénal International et des témoins de l’attentat. En 2001, Mc Kinney avait organisé une table ronde sur les événements du 6 avril 1994. Elle confirme que « ce qui s’est passé au Rwanda n’est pas un génocide planifié par les Hutu.[NDLR :Le TPIR l'a également confirmé. Le planificateur demeure au large] C’est un changement de régime.
Un coup d’Etat terroriste perpétré par Kagame avec l’aide des forces étrangères.
[NDLR: Kagame l'a récemment confirmé lors de la remise des médailles à Museveni et à Zenawi sur conseil de Tony Blair.]
J’ai suivi de près la tragédie des Grands Lacs et je pense qu’il fallait faire éclater la vérité aux Etats-Unis. C’est pour cela que j’ai décidé à l’époque de réunir des fonctionnaires de l’ONU, des enquêteurs américains, experts de la CIA, des témoins rwandais et des élus américains préoccupés par cette souffrance et cette violence infligées à l’Afrique et aux Africains ».
Des éléments de cette investigation plutôt révisionniste ont été transmis au juge Bruguière et au Prix Nobel de la Paix argentin Adolpho Perez Esquivel.Celui-ci est intéressé dans le dossier de la justice espagnole sur le pillage et les crimes commis au Rwanda et en République Démocratique du Congo, contre les prêtres espagnols, les Rwandais et les Congolais.
En effet, en poursuivant les génocidaires Hutu rwandais, le corps expéditionnaire rwandais avait massacré les populations jusque sur le territoire congolais, à Tingi-Tingi, Kisangani-Rive gauche, Mbandaka...Des sources indiquent que la justice espagnole a lancé des mandats d’arrêt contre les proches collaborateurs de Kagame, dont le général James Kabarebe, chef d’état-major général de l’armée rwandaise.
Mc Kinney ne comprend pas pourquoi le Tribunal Pénal International refuse d’enquêter sur ce coup, qui, en fait, est l’élément déclencheur de la tragédie rwando-congolaise : « Je ne comprends pas pourquoi les pays occidentaux et les Etats Unis en particulier laissent faire.
Je ne comprends pas pourquoi l’on massacre, pille et viole les femmes en RDC sans que le monde entier s’en émeuve. Je ne comprends pas ce silence en forme d’encouragement de la communauté internationale à l’égard de crimes abominables ».
Pour elle, le TPI est « une honte internationale ». Et comme elle maîtrise le dossier des Grands Lacs au niveau du Congrès américain, elle s’est engagée à mener une action contre les autorités rwandaises et leurs complices impliqués dans ce drame : « C’est une véritable escroquerie.
Comment peut-on prétendre juger des criminels hutus alors que ceux qui ont abattu l’avion et assassiné des milliers de hutu ainsi que des Tutsi, des Espagnols et des Congolais sont libres ?
Je ne peux pas concevoir que ces gens qui ont bénéficié d’une formation militaire aux Etats-Unis depuis 1990 utilisent ces compétences à des fins criminelles. Il s’agit donc d’un dossier à rebondissements dans la région des Grands Lacs.
Since 1994, the world witnesses the horrifying Tutsi minority (14%) ethnic domination, the Tutsi minority ethnic rule, tyranny and corruption in Rwanda.The current Tutsi-led 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.

Vrai ou Faux, selon des sources généralement bien informées de Kinshasa, un décret présidentiel aurait nommé il y a quelques mois déjà Mr. Bizima Karaha, un Tutsi rwandais, coordonnateur du programme habitat pour les colonies de peuplement rwandais au Nord-Kivu.
En langage officiel, ce programme concerne l’implantation en R.D.Congo des refugiés congolais du Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda et Tanzanie.
.
Le masque de ce programme d’occupation rwandaise du Nord-Kivu est tombé quand les Chefs coutumiers de Beni-Lubero ont révélé qu’ils étaient sous pression de Kinshasa, du HCR, du PNUD, et de la MOUNC pour signer des documents par lesquels ils autoriseraient le Programme Habitat dirigé par Bizima Karaha, un projet qui consiste à construire des maisons dans leurs chefferie
s respectives, sur des sites choisis sans leur consultation.
Cette réunion de tous les dangers sous la présidence du HCR-PNUD-Bizima devait avoir lieu cette semaine à Goma. Aux dernières nouvelles, il se poserait un problème de transport des chefs coutumiers vers Goma.
Ce qui ressort de cette démarche du HCR-PNUD est le fait que les refugiés congolais dont il s'agit semblent ne pas savoir où ils vivaient avant de devenir réfugiés. Les congolais des villages ciblés pour abriter ces colonies rwandaises ne se rappellent pas avoir vécu avec des rwandais dans un passé récent ou lointain.
D’où la question de savoir quand ces refugiés congolais étaient partis par exemple de Mwenye, Vurondo, Isale, Kyondo, Munoli, Mayangos, Kasugho, Kanyabayonga, etc. Peut-être y-avait-il eu des rwandais dans ces contrées avant Jésus-Christ ou avant les py
gmées reconnus par tous comme premiers citoyens de Beni-Lubero ! Ceux qui savent mieux que les congolais en cette matière sont les experts américains, anglais, belges du HCR-PNUD, etc.
.
D’après les informations qui circulent de bouche à oreille, les sites identifiés par le HCR-PNUD sont des localités où des villages entiers sont actuellement incendiés par des pyromanes rwandais.
Si ces informations se révèlent véridiques, ceux qui suspectent l’ONU de travailler pour la balkanisation de la R.D.Congo auraient finalement raison. Ainsi, les atrocités actuelles d’incendies des maisons, les massacres des congolais, le phénomène des déplacés ne seraient qu’un prélude à l’implantation par le force des colonies de peuplement des rwandais au Nord-Kivu. Ceci expliquerait aussi le silence de Kinshasa et de la Monuc devant les atrocités ci-haut citées.
D’après les mêmes informations, si les Nande refusaient de vider les l
ieux choisis pour les rwandais, ils seraient assimilés aux Hutu rwandais, aux FDLR, etc. et seront traqués ou éliminés dans la forêt.
Les antennes du commandement militaire qui préside à ces opérations de déguerpissement forcé des congolais de Rutshuru, Beni, Lubero, et de Walikale sont implantées dans les endroits suivants : Pinga (Walikale), Kanyabayonga (Lubero), Musienene (Lubero), Aéroport de Rughenda (Butembo), Concession Ozacaf (Beni), etc. Des hommes en armes portant l’uniforme militaire congolais partiraient nuitamment de ces postes pour accomplir leur sale besogn de préparation du terrain aux colonies de peuplement rwandais.
Quand ces escadrons de la mort se font appréhendés par la Police locale, des ordres tomberaient de Kinshasa pour ordonner leur relaxation immédiate et sans condition
s. Pour tromper l’opinion, de fois les ordres de l’hiérarchie ordonneraient que les incriminés soit transférés à la prison de Munzenze à Goma, devenue la porte de sortie de bandits or tueurs précurseurs de l’occupation arrêtés au Nord-Kivu.
L’antenne d’occupation de Butembo est commandée par un sujet Hema de l’Ituri. On se souviendra que les Hema de l’Ituri sont alliés aux Tutsi du Rwanda et aux Banyankole de l’Ouganda pour la balkanisation de la RDC.
.
Toutes ces antennes d’occupation seraient commandées à partir de Rutshuru par un certain Colonel SMITH !
Comme on dit qu’il n’y a pas de fumée sans feu, les autorités compétentes ainsi que les forces vives devraient ouvrir une enquête pour éclairer la religion des Nord-Kivutiens sur ce phenomène !
