Seada Nourhussen, journalist voor Trouw, schrijft in Vice Versa:
"Ik ben zeker een voorstander van een economische benadering van ontwikkeling. Is er economische vooruitgang, dan zullen zich vanzelf ook andere belangrijke zaken als democratie en gelijke rechten voor man en vrouw ontwikkelen"
Vanzelf? Laat me niet lachen. Ook in Nederland hebben mensen offers gebracht voor democratie. Lees eens de ontstaans geschiedenis van Het Parool of Trouw:

"Trouw verscheen voor het eerst op 18 februari 1943, oorspronkelijk onder de naam Oranje-Bode, als illegale krant op initiatief van een groep orthodox-protestantse verzetsmensen. Enkelen waren eerder actief bij het illegale blad Vrij Nederland, dat al in 1940 verscheen. Zij verlieten VN in 1942 na een conflict tussen dr. J.A.H.J.S. Bruins Slot en H.M. van Randwijk over de politieke lijn. Trouw trad zo in de plaats van De Standaard "

Maxime Verhagen schreef in juli in Trouw over het belang van hettegengaan van mensenrechtenschendingen:
"Als er tijdens de Koude Oorlog al internet was geweest, dan was de Muur waarschijnlijk eerder gevallen. Internet en nieuwe media zorgen ervoor dat informatie niet binnensijpelt, maar als een vloedgolf aanstroomt. Aan ons de taak te zorgen dat de vrijheid van internet maximaal kan worden benut om mensenrechtenschendingen wereldwijd tegen te gaan”

"It is almost as if Hitler put Jews on trial for "genocide denial". The major mass murderer in Rwanda and Congo puts people in jail for saying more than one group was killing another group, and he denies (or tries to hide) his own culpability. " Frank Lefever

Seada Nourhussen schrijft:
"In veel Afrikaanse landen is men moe van de bemoeienis. Er wordt bepaald hoe ze moeten denken en wat ze moeten vinden. Er is daar een andere realiteit. We kunnen niet zomaar onze normen en waarden gaan opleggen."
Een steling die veel doet denken aan een artikel van Michael Fairbanks waarin hij suggereert te weten wat Afrikanen denken.

De realiteit is dat niemand weet wat Afrikanen denken, maar dat Afrika een proeftuin is voor de ontwikkeling van allerlei ontwikkelings modellen. Die modellen zijn niet waarde vrij. Het model van Michael Fairbanks gaat bijvoorbeeld uit van de stelling dat culturele invloeden bijdragen tot wel of geen ontwikkeling.

Het wordt tijd om het debat op argumenten en niet op emoties te voeren. De tijd van modieuze sentimentel verhalen zoals dit afgezaagde artikel van Seada Nourhussen is `long overdo`.

Another war we don't see in the Rwanda and Congolese genocides.

 Since October 1990, The assassinations, rapes disappearances,  mass murder are covered up by the journalists taking part in the RPF and Kagame's propaganda. A new war different from the war we ordinary people know. On daily basis, kids are beheaded together with their mums only because they happen to be Hutus. On your screen, you happened to see the corrupt regime of president Habyarimana. The worse dictator the world is angry with. However, most of you don't see another war, the worse one carried out by journalists, politics. There is no big difference between Governmental and Non Governmental Organizations regarding the role they are playing in the Rwandan and Congolese tragic events. It's all about interests of their governments, of those on power in From Washington to London, Paris to Brussels and Amsterdam.

ASI : We need more US and UK Investigative Journalists to look into Kagame's despicable crimes and sick plans, another way way to stop the ongoing tragedy.We need The Truth to keep the Rwandan society from falling into total chaos. We need more and more honest reporters and the strengthening of Law on Media. We insist Kagame and RPF criminals should be behind bars instead of protecting them from prosecution and indictment.  All the widows and all the orphans, Tutsis and Hutus, need consolation and NOT KAGAME AND HIS TYRANNICAL REGIME.

 Another war You don't see: The situation is both appalling and unsustainable

The Rwandan war starts in October 1st,1990. dozens of Rwandans, hundreds of Rwandans, thousands of Rwandans, dozens of thousands of Rwandans and finally million Rwandans are getting mass-murdered very far away from your screens, from your newspapers.

Who are those Rwandans? Di di you have idea about them? Yes, indeed. The assassinated, the disappeared, the massacred since 1990 are those Hutus you happened to know as genocidaires even before 1994. The other war, worse than that you seen on your screen, was happening, underway very far from your thoughts. Did the journalists realize the crimes they were committing? Did they realize that Hutu mums Human beings, Rwandan citizens and they deserve protection?
 
Where is the Rwandan Government? Rwanda knows no Rule of law. Paul Kagame is the law-maker and the decision-maker. Rule of law (or rule by legis, the Latin term for law) means that government must be bound by fixed and predictable rules and all people are governed by the same laws.  Such a system doesn't exist in Rwanda.

What You See is What you Get, right? An other excuse may be...I saw awful assassinations and mass-murders in Ruhengeri and Byumba in 1993. I saw awful assassinations and mass-murders in Butaro , Kinigi, and Mukngo, Kinihira, Mulindi, Cyungo, Mutura in 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998....No mention on your screens. Nothing!


The murder of the Roman Catholic church  Clergy. No word from the Pope towards the survivors Religious.Assassinations of them happened inside Rwanda and in the Dem. Rep. of the Congo as well.


Because of lack of  financial means, we are anable to produce our own work on the tragedy daily faced by Rwandans and Congolese people.

We don't know if you reader, is very touched by what is happening on the African soil and precisely on the soil of Rwanda since October 1st, 1990 up to now and in the Eastern of of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
People are dying like animals, getting killed at the daily basis. We need your help to resolve this for the world, the humankind big issue.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me again, shame on me… Pilger is voice for the voiceless. Just like Wikileaks and Julian Paul Assange, Pilger is a champion of those for whom he fights and the scourge of politicians. Other films by John Pilger include "War On Democracy"

The War you don't see. The role of the media in the modern war has been used and still is used in Rwanda. Corrupt media and organizations spread up Kagame's lies around the world. Investigations are for them a difficult or unwanted job.


Another war you don't see.
 Many of the refugees are unable to return for understandable reasons. The media circus explains together with Kagame that those refugees are believed to be Fugitives! At the same time, the Real FDLR leadership are living in Rwanda: Generals Rwarakabije and Ngendahimana Jerome! A joke? Pure conspiracy when accusing Murwanashyaka Ignace, Musoni, and Mbarushimana Callixte for crimes in Congo. ASI believes the German judicial system will provide them a fair and swift justice. 

 Impartiality, Consistency, Standing, and Trust

To the German authorities: With all due respect and urgency, African SurViVors call on Ms Angela Merkel , the German Councilor to use her influence to provide Murwanashyaka Ignace and Musoni with a fair trial so this nightmare for their families can come to a satisfying end.

Raped Hutu woman

The right to a fair trial is explicitly proclaimed in Article Ten of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the German Constitution as well as in numerous other constitutions and declarations throughout the world. Two years in prison without trial in a  civilized world is undoubtedly unacceptable. What should be the outcome of the trial once we already have facts and witnesses that the accusations against the FDLR are baseless and those crimes are committed by RDF and Kagame's proxy armies (are spectacular facts) in the Congo?

 "equals should be treated equally and unequals unequally." 

meaning "Individuals should be treated the same, unless they differ in ways that are relevant to the situation in which they are involved." 
ASI believes it is time to change the world broken judicial system.  An independent trial should be supported and in case the perpetrators are from the RDF and CNDP, FDLR or and RCD, Maï Maï and Apareco militias, their leaders should be brought to Justice. We can't conclude that what is going on in Germany and in France is different from what the bloody Rwandan dictator tells the world He himself or through media that "All Hutus look like, they are genocidaires". Freedom should be seen as the ultimate expression of human dignity and equality for and among all Rwandans, Hutus, Tutsis and Twas and all of those living in Rwanda. Does the World understand that Rwanda should  adhere to all efforts to eradicate impunity even if perpetrators are Tutsis? The video here below might help Rwandans, the government to respect each other, their equal opportunities and most importantly the sustained meritocracy in the Rwandan society. From that, all Rwandans and their leadership will see that fair justice and the reconciliation will come by themselves.
 
Justice means giving each person what he or she deserves or, in more traditional terms, giving each person his or her due. Paul Kagame himself, RPF, RDF, CNDP and RCD military leadership should be denied sanctuary.  

   Only because they refused to surrender to Paul Kagame? Go beyond RPF and Kagame scenarios and lies and lean more about their cruelties.

Génocide rwandais : renversement de perspective
 
The UNHCR took and still takes part into the RPF and Kagame's propaganda. How much was adestructive the role of the Western media in the Rwandan genocide? The role of the UNHCR inside Rwanda, outside of IT in the Dem. Rep. of The Congo, in Tanzania, in Burundi and recently in Uganda?  Massacres of the eyewitnesses is organized together with the UNHCR, media and  Kagame and his RPF. Not True? Very , Very True, indeed. UNHCR apologized to Uganda over comments on Rwandan refugees. But what is amazing is that the western news agencies never publish the corruption on UNHCR conspiracy with the Ugandan authorities.

What was the REAL role of the Non government organizations in place in Rwanda or in RPF zone?
  
Another war You don't see: Have a look at what is happening in Congo with mass-rapes. The RPF colonel Mugabo is organizing those rapes on the soil of the Congo. He's not intimidated and Media continue to accuse the innocent Hutu. The raped is a Congolese Hutu woman, the raped is a refugee Hutu woman, the assassinated in Kiwanja is the weak Hutu. Media, MONUC  and NGOs do nothing but accusing the FDLR. CNDP is already forgotten, Ntaganda, Nkunda and Mutebusi are highly protected by Kagame and his main puppet in Congo. RDF headed by Col. Mugabo still in the Eastern region of Congo is not intimidated. the accused is once again the weak, the created enemy: FDLR. That is what we have: Another War you don't see.
The Rwandan Auschwitz  : Kibeho. We saw the Rwandan leaders telling the world that 330 bodies were found while 21,000 refugees were in that dath camp. To speed up their extermination, they were Interahamwe or among them, there were Interahamwe. Those from last week were invited by their counterpart the still-president of Rwanda "General" (From Major to the General rank: to have mass-slaughtered his fellow citizens and masterminded the Rwandan and Congolese genocides) Paul Kagame. 

Struggle to freedom against War on Democracy. Same way in Rwanda. No doubt !




The entire manipulation of the events  in 1990, when we saw the West supporting RPF and the bloody murderer Paul Kagame. We say A Habyarimana transformed into dictator, into the genocidaire, into the Pol Pot refusing to democratize the country.
However, we had another situation, another media, The media circus that was carrying out another war you don't see. Have you ever thought Habyarimana has made such a speech? the two remaining speeches are on Youtube.

Discours de Habyarimana partie1

Another war you don't see was going on and the worse of that, our kids, sisters, daughters, mums and fathers were slaughtered at the daily basis. Every Hutu assassinated was presented as a Tutsi. A living Hutu was presented as Interahamwe. To sum up, another war you don't see was carried out by those we call journalists, the copy/paste journalists. The same information was circulating on all western screens and was taken for REAL. That was exactly Another war You don't see on your screens and you don't read in your newspapers ! !

Rwandan opposition leader denies terrorism charges
 Another war You don't see: Truth and lies in the war on terror. In the absence of rule of law, the opposition leaders are accused of terrorism against the RPF military  Junta. Ms Ingabire Umuhoza,  opposition leader  has been arrested and thrown into prison by  Kagame police .is accused of working and financing a "terror group", the FDLR, trying to overthrow the regime.  
RPF accusers are trained in Rwanda before getting sent to the ICTR in Arusha.   
Crimes committed by RPF in conspiracy with the UNHCR are nowhere published in the main stream media (Congolese soldiers mass-rape in Congo (1994-1997, 1998, up to now. Mass-murder of Returnees with the help of UNHCR. Deportation of Eye-witnesses back to Rwanda from Congo, Uganda, Burundi, etc. Total conspiracy. The UNHCR should be held accountable for all consequences of such brutality, assassinations and unforced disappearances among the forcible returnees.

=>Another war You don't see.

Mbandaka slaughter

RPF intelligence pays more than 20 millions dollars per year to corrupt media, individuals and organizations around the world.

Not ¨published in the main stream media. They were about reporting about lies. destroying infrastructure , deportation, misinformation and disinformation. Resistance of Rwandan people is not news.  FDLR or Hutu resistance is not news. News is about FDLR terrorism. Why the intelligence community does nothing to help the weak and not to work for criminals, Kagame and the likes. Advertising propaganda and idea of democratic illusion., manipulating the news. We do remember when RPF was destroying water supply, bombing taxis on roads to Kigali and From Kigali to isolate it. Ntaruka water supply and infrastructure were destroyed,, Nyabugogo poisoned water, etc.
The punishment of the entire nation. Does this happened in Rwanda? Yes, no doubt! In order to speed up the extermination of the hated Hutu majority! Have a look and make a kinda comparison.


Exaggeration in the War on Terror : Does the FDLR represent  a terrorist organization? Did the world ask Rwandans what they think about it? No. Rwandans are tohse believed to be RPF followers,  others (the Hutu majority) are to be exterminated or sent to prisons. ARE Murwanashyaka and Musoni and Mbarushimana Callixte the Terrorist leaders, those innocent Rwandans held in France and German prisons? Who is responsible for all crimes committed in Congo? Truth and Justice in Rwanda and DRC still on hold. We ask the UN institutions to give them a chance of exercising their fundamental rights...  Rwandans refuse cowardly surrender in the face of dangerous hell-bent Rwandan devil. What should be the alternative for Rwandans?

• Where is General Kagame, General Nkunda, General Mutebusi, General Ntaganda, Ruberwa, Bizima Karaha, GeneralKabarebe, General Ibingira?

A Hutu woman fleeing CNDP militia's

1. Where is the international Law?
2. Where is the International Humanitarian Law?
    
   99.99% of broadcasters cannot match Pilger's performance and backbone. Adam Curtis of the BBC TV made "The Power of Nightmares: The Politics of Fear". That is exctly the current dirty game Paul kagame is playing or was playing during the last elections period. He said: "You won't vote for me, search for hiding place in another country." 
   War carried out by all other means. Have a look !

African SurViVors International hope and believe this fresh consideration of the freedom of the press to report what is actually happening rather than what they have been told to say extends to the coverage of other topics - most notably the Mastermind of the Rwandan genocide. By the way, most of them still remain at Large.

DR Congo; Rwanda: October 1, 2010
Museum Reacts to New UN Report on Congo

The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum today reacted to the new United Nations report on human rights violations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Published by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, the report outlines the most serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law in the DRC between 1993 and 2003 and offers a range of transitional justice options to deal with the legacy of the crimes.

“The scale, scope and detail of the crimes are too serious to be ignored,” said Michael Abramowitz, Director of the Committee on Conscience, the Museum’s genocide prevention program. “This report offers a shocking picture of violence directed against civilians in the Congo by multiple perpetrators over more than a decade. The allegations of serious violations of international humanitarian law should be treated with utmost gravity in the interests of truth-telling, combating impunity, and achieving justice for victims.”

The report published today analyses four major periods of violence in the DRC: the waning years of the Mobutu Sese Seko regime (1993 - 1996), the war to overthrow Mobutu (1996-1998), the second war (1998 - 2001), and the period of transition (2001 - 2003). It also documents violence against women and children and the impact of resource exploitation on the conflict.

The report charges that attacks carried out in 1996 and 1997 by the Rwandan army and their rebel allies against Hutu civilians in the DRC may constitute genocide, ultimately deferring judgment on this question to a competent legal tribunal. It also documents crimes allegedly committed by the later-deposed Zairean government of Mobutu Sese Seko, other national militaries and militias, including Ugandan, Burundian, and Congolese rebels. The report provides guidance for the Congolese and international authorities on how to prosecute perpetrators and address victims’ rights.

“Nothing in this report or these charges diminishes the facts of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, where at least 500,000 Rwandan Tutsi were murdered by a Hutu-extremist government in only three months,” said Abramowitz. “If anything, the report underscores the long-lasting, regional consequences of genocide and the importance of prevention efforts.”

Read the full press release, learn more about the report, and listen to UN expert Jason Stearns discuss a draft of the report, which was leaked in September.


The Truth can be buried and stomped into the ground where none can see, yet eventually it will, like a seed, break through the surface once again far more potent than ever, and Nothing can stop it. Truth can be suppressed for a "time", yet It cannot be destroyed. ==> Wolverine

[Since 1994, the world witnesses the horrifying reality : the 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 with an iron hand, and the brutal suppression of the rights of the majority of the Rwandan people (85% are Hutus), mass-arrests and mass-murder by the RPF criminal organization.
So long as justice and accountability for RPF past and current crimes are ignored and delayed, Peace and Stability will remain illusive and impossible in Rwanda=>ASIF]

Christian Davenport's "Rethinking Rwanda, 1994" at the Kroc Institute - University of Notre Dame (April 8, 2010).


Sixteen years ago, the world watched as Rwanda descended into large-scale violence that left up to a million people dead. This was followed by massive out-migration (nearly half the country), untold amounts of internal displacement, and a deluge of articles, TV news features, movies, and commentary from human rights activists, political leaders, and ordinary people from around the world. Christian Davenport - Rethinking Rwanda, 1994 from JamboNewsTV on Vimeo.

Exactly what happened during Rwanda’s hundred days of horror?  Christian Davenport has spent more than a decade researching this question. His answer takes all the elements of what has become the conventional story — civil war, genocide, ethnic conflict, refugees, French UN missions, Tutsi rebels, the Hutu army — and combines them in unexpected ways.  His research turns on its head the way we understand Rwanda, political violence, intervention, and the study of conflict itself.


Christian Davenport is a scholar of political conflict, from genocide to domestic spying. He directs two research and action projects: the Radical Information Project and Stop Our States. He is the author or editor of four books: State Repression and the Domestic Democratic Peace, Media Bias, Perspective and State Repression, Repression and Mobilization, and Paths to State Repression.

Ingabire Umuhoza Victoire  Guilty without Guilt US,UK, NL & BE should help her Release

De advocaat van de Rwandese oppositieleidster Victoire Ingabire heeft een aantal klachten ingediend bij de rechtbank na de inval in de woning van Ingabire. Volgens advocaat Jan Hofdijk is er tijdens de huiszoeking 300 euro ontvreemd. Ook is er bij de inval geen bevel tot huiszoeking getoond. Verder stelt de advocaat dat de moeder en achtjarige zoon van Ingabire in het bijzijn van manlijke agenten zich moesten uit en aankleden.De Nationale Recherche heeft de woning in Zevenhuizen afgelopen maandag met twaalf mensen doorzocht. Hieronder waren negen bewapende agenten. De huiszoeking gebeurde op verzoek van de regering in Rwanda. Ingabire wordt in Rwanda beschuldigd van samenwerken met een terroristische organisatie, verdeeldheid zaaien onder de inwoners van Rwanda en het ontkennen van de genocide van 1994. Hiervoor hangt haar een levenslange gevangenisstraf boven het hoofd. Sinds april is er echter nog geen inhoudelijke behandeling geweest over de zaak. Er zijn alleen rechtszaken geweest over een mogelijke vrijlating op borgtocht.

In de Tweede Kamer is inmiddels verschillende keren gesproken over het onderwerp. Na mondelingen vragen op dinsdagmiddag is er woensdag een spoeddebat gehouden over het onderwerp.
De Tweede Kamer vermoedt een politieke reden voor het verzoek en is daar verbolgen over. Ze vindt dat het in Rwanda schort aan vrijheid van meningsuiting en politieke ruimte. Nederland geeft daarom geen begrotingssteun meer aan dit Afrikaanse land.
Er is een motie aangenomen die er voor zorgt dat de Tweede Kamer geinformeerd wordt voordat inbeslaggenomen spullen aan Rwanda worden overgedragen.

PARIJS (ANP/AFP) – Een Franse onderzoeksrechter heeft de Rwandese minister van Defensie, James Kabarebe, en de voorzitter van de militaire staf Charles Kayonga en vier andere hooggeplaatste Rwandezen, beschuldigd van „medeplichtigheid aan moorden in samenhang met een terroristische onderneming”.

Kagame Hard Talk Video
Geüpload door Paul899. - Nieuwe video's uit de hele wereld.
 
De Franse onderzoeksrechters Marc Trévidic en Nathalie Poux hebben de verdachte kopstukken in Burundi op de hoogte gesteld van de zaak die tegen hen loopt, berichtten donderdag bronnen bij justitie in Parijs.
Het is een onderzoek naar de moord op de Rwandese president Juvénal Habyarimana en diens Burundese ambtgenoot Cyprien Ntaryamira. Beiden kwamen om, toen het Franse vliegtuig waarin ze in april 1994 vlogen, kort voor de landing in de Rwandese hoofdstad Kigali door onbekenden werd neergehaald. Beiden waren lid van de Hutumeerderheid, die in zowel Burundi als Rwanda langdurig is gedomineerd door Tutsi’s....

.....De bloedige chaos werd beëindigd door een guerrillaleger van Tutsi’s, die onder leiding van Paul Kagame vanuit Uganda Rwanda was binnengevallen. Hij heeft sindsdien de macht in het Afrikaanse land stevig in handen.
Arrestatiebevelen in deze zaak zijn echter ingetrokken op grond van een overeenkomst met het regime in Kigali. Daarmee konden onderzoekers in Rwanda mensen ondervragen en ook de zes verdachten zelf vragen stellen in Burundi.
De Franse onderzoekers verdenken Kagames guerrilleros van het Rwandees Patriottisch Front (FPR) ervan het toestel te hebben neergeschoten om een omwenteling te bewerkstelligen. Het FPR had vergeefs geprobeerd gewapenderhand het door Frankrijk gesteunde regime van Habyarimana ten val te brengen. Radicale Tutsi’s rond Kagame zouden mogelijk hebben afgewild van een vredesregeling met Habyarimana, omdat die in hun ogen de Tutsi’s te weinig politieke macht bood.

DEN HAAG (ANP) – De Tweede Kamer zal eerst worden ingelicht voordat Nederland mogelijk de in beslag genomen documenten van oppositieleidster Victoire Ingabire overdraagt aan Rwanda. De rechtbank in Rotterdam moet nu een besluit nemen over de toelaatbaarheid van de overhandiging, maar dat valt niet voor de tweede helft van januari te verwachten.

Dat zei minister Uri Rosenthal van Buitenlandse Zaken aan het eind van het debat over zijn begroting voor 2011, dat woensdag begon en tot in de nacht uitliep. Als de rechtbank in Rotterdam bepaalt dat de stukken aan Rwanda kunnen worden overhandigd, gaan ze eerst naar staatssecretaris Fred Teeven van Justitie. Die zal voordat hij een besluit neemt over de doorgeleiding, eerst advies inwinnen bij Rosenthal, meldde de minister.

De minister had de gang van zaken op verzoek van de Tweede Kamer nog tijdens het overleg nagevraagd bij Teeven. Met name de ChristenUnie en D66 drongen daar op aan.


De spullen zijn begin deze week in beslag genomen tijdens een huiszoeking van de nationale recherche in de woning van Ingabire, die in Zevenhuizen woont. Zij zelf is gevangen genomen in Rwanda nadat ze in januari was teruggekeerd om mee te doen met de verkiezingen. De huiszoeking gebeurde op verzoek van het regime in Rwanda.

 The Hague - Politicians in The Hague are shocked by the search for the Rwandan politician Victoire Ingabire, Monday, Zevenhuizen. PvdA and Christen Unie demand more clarification from Opstelten, Minister of Justice.

"It raises many questions," said PvdA MP and justice spokesperson Jerome Récourt. "How is it that Justice obediently performs a search at the request of Rwanda, while the Netherlands has serious doubts about the fairness of Ingabire´s judicial process? Justice and foreign Affairs have not clearly communicated. "

" Netherlands indeed treat legal requests from abroad. But this case is very sensitive here. We would not cooperate in the Netherlands to political persecution, "said Récourt.
Ingabire, the leader of the Rwandan opposition UDF party, is trapped in the Rwandan capital Kigali, pending her trial. Justice in Rwanda suspects her of terrorism and seeks to prove.

After the genocide of 1994 she left with her husband and children to the Netherlands, where she built up a new life. The house of the family in Zevenhuizen, near Rotterdam, was searched Monday by the Dutch police.

Joel Voordewind, MP of the Christian Union, is outraged. "Why should the Dutch government of Rwanda execute orders, while the same government is used to suspend direct budget support to Rwanda because of concerns about human rights?"
Rwanda and the Netherlands have no extradition treaty, but together they may provide assistance. "A request for search may be a variant of assistance," said the Dutch international criminal lawyer and expert Gert-Jan Knoops. "For each request permission  from the Minister of Justice is a must."

CDA MP Coskun Cortuz is against such politically related lawsuits. Yet he is reluctant in this case. "Any request from Rwanda or China can be an excuse not to investigate. Even though the defendant might awfully abused. You know - just as I - what exactly is behind this search''.
