Why we remember the Holocaust?

 Watch the video to understand.







 Dear Jean-Christophe,

 At the Museum's dedication in 1993, Elie Wiesel told the crowd:

Liberators at the Capitol Rotunda during Days of Remembrance in 2010

"For the dead and the living, we must bear witness. For not only are we responsible for the memories of the dead, we are also responsible for what we are doing with those memories."

If you saw the video of Elie Wiesel that Museum Director Sara Bloomfield sent a few weeks ago, you understand the urgency of Elie's words. This spring the Museum honors Elie Wiesel with the inaugural United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Award for his extraordinary contributions to humanity. You still have time to send him a note of appreciation.

The Museum continues to fulfill its mandate by leading the annual National Days of Remembrance, May 1-8, 2011. Here in Washington, D.C., and throughout the country, people of all backgrounds will come together to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust. The Museum is assisting hundreds of elected officials and thousands of United States military lead commemorations of the Holocaust in their communities and on military bases across the globe. To easily locate Days of Remembrance activities occurring near you, view our map.

In this time of remembrance, the Museum is focusing on memories of children—the world's most vulnerable victims of war and genocide. Remember Me? is a far-reaching online effort to identify 1,100 photos of children displaced during the Holocaust. I'm happy to report that the public has already helped us identify 40 of these children (now adults living all over the world). Details about many other photos continue to pour in and will be shared on the Remember Me? Web site and via Facebook and Twitter. Please visit the site today and tell your family and friends about this important project.
Finally, a special thank you to more than a thousand of you who have submitted your notes of appreciation to Elie Wiesel. Here is one that touched me and my colleagues at the Museum.

"I honor you for being the voice of millions who cannot speak for themselves. I hope that you yourself can find peace and comfort in knowing that millions stand with you—we will not forget."

Sincerely,

Lorna Miles
Chief Marketing Officer
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

[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]

Ms. Ingabire Victoire the Would-be president of Rwanda and now in Prison

L’ambassadeur des Pays-Bas au Rwanda Frans Makken a rendu visite le 1er avril 2011, à Victore Ingabire, leader du parti de l’opposition rwandaise FDU (Forces démocratiques unifiées) et actuellement en prison. Makken était en compagnie d’une délégation de jeunes faisant partie d’une organisation des droits de l’homme basée à Rotterdam.

Dans un reportage du journal néerlandais Nieuwsuur au sujet de la visite à Ingabire, on y voit une Victoire Ingabire souriante qui semble n’avoir perdu ni le moral ni la combativité. Elle montre la celulle dans laquelle elle est détenue: un lit, une télé et des fenêtres peints en noir car “personne ne peut me voir et je ne peux voir personne.” dit-elle. “Alors, quand il n’y a pas d’électricité, je reste dans le noir pendant toute la journée” continue-t-elle encore.
Quant à la question de savoir si elle est en sécurité dans sa cellule, elle répond que tant qu’elle est dans les mains du gouvernement, ils ne peuvent rien lui faire sinon ils devront en porter la responsabilité.


Prison: La justice rwandaise l’accuse d’activités terroristes et est à la recherche de preuves.Son avocat néerlandais, Jan Hofdijk, a dit que les accusations contre Ingabire sont “des inventions” et que la justice rwandaise “crée des accusations et des preuves”. Ingabire elle-même s’est dite étonnée de voir qu’on l’accuse d’activités terroristes car rien de cela n’est mentionné dans son dossier.

Le procureur général a expliqué au journaliste de Nieuwsuur qu’il y a des preuves contre Ingabire mais qu’il ne pensait pas que la justice néerlandaise collaborerait avec le Rwanda. Cependant, il y a quelques mois, une perquisition a eu lieu au domicile de Victoire Ingabire aux Pays-bas. Des documents et des ordinateurs ont été saisis, mais aucun élément n’a jusqu’à ce jour été envoyé à la justice rwandaise car le juge néerlandais n’a pas encore pris une décision à ce sujet.


“Je n’ose pas aller à Kigali” a dit l’avocat de Ingabire. Il dit y être persona non grata. Le sort qui a été infligé à son homologue américain Peter Erlinder, président de l’Association des avocats de la défense du TPIR, en dit long sur ce qui pourrait lui arriver s’il s’avise d’aller à Kigali. En effet, Peter Erlinder qui était venu prendre part à la défense de l’opposante Victoire Ingabire fut arrêté le 28 mai 2010 . Emprisonné lui-même pendant trois semaines pour « négation du génocide », il avait été relâché sous caution pour « raisons médicales ». Les autorités rwandaises avaient cependant précisé qu’il pourrait être convoqué par la justice à tout moment.

“C’est un régime dictatorial avec des traits de perfidie” s’est prononcé encore l’avocat d’Ingabire.

Quant à la question de savoir combien de temps Ingabire restera en prison, l’avocat d’Ingabire a répondu que cela dépend du soutien que l’occident donne à Kagame. “Si l’occident voit enfin que Kagame est quelqu’un qui a sa place à Den Haag (NDLR à la Court Pénale Internationale) afin qu’il y rende comptes des bombardements commis sur les camps de réfugiés, des assassinats de ses opposants ou encore de femmes et d’enfants”
“Il y a des rapports qui ont étés faits, donc que dois-je dire encore? Sa place est à Den Haag” termine-t-il.
Victoire Ingabire, qui après 16 ans d’exile était retournée au Rwanda afin de participer aux élections présidentielles d’août 2010, est actuellement détenue depuis 184 jours à la prison de Kigali en attente de son procès.

Il avait toujours « anguille sous roche » dans le rôle de Kouchner dans son "Aide Humanitaire".  D’une façon ou d’une autre, Bernard Kouchner participait régulièrement aux rencontres avec Paul Kagame ou ses représentants, membres du FPR.
 Bernard Kouchner accusé de TRAFIC D'ORGANES, s'en moque plutôt que de demander que la justice  s'en mêle pour le blanchir ou le crouer.

Pendant longtemps, l'attitude, le comportement vis-à-vis de Paul Kagame et les affirmations de Bernard Kouchner se sont avérés hypocrites et sinistres.
African SurViVors International demande à l'Union Européenne et aux Nations Unies et à la France de mettre en lumière la véracité de ces accusations. En faite , une enquête serait mise en place pour établir les liens dans ce trafic d'organes et l'aide humaniitare au Kosovo et au Rwanda.

Le luxe et Bernard Kouchner sous de faux airs humanitaires. Bernard Kouchner ou Selleck ça pas d´importance. Bernard Kouchner est connu pour avoir travaillé longtemps avec les dictateurs africains dont Bongo et Kagame.  Moralité de cette histoire, n'hésitez pas à faire des dons pour le tsunami, le génocide, etc, et autres miséreux dans le besoin, cet argent se retrouve toujours entre les bonnes mains. »

Bernard Kouchner et Tony Blair  se moquent de qui?

Sous de faux airs humanitaires, des Hutus Rwandais, des Serbes du Kosovo ont été victimes d’une propagande médiatique à grande échelle supervisée par Bernard Kouchner.

Tout a été fait pour faire croire au monde entier que Bernard Kouchner était avant tout HUMANITAIRE.
 pour aider les malheureux Rwandais victimes d'un génocide. Plus tard, vous aurez des informations sûres sur ce génocide: Bernard Kouchner savait que le Président Habyarimana allait être assassiné. Nous présupposons qu'il ne va pas nous traiter d'assassins (des Serbes victimes et survivants) ou de génocidaires (des Hutus victimes et survivants).

 Ce n'est pas tout!
Récemment à propos du Haïti:- La première réaction du ministre français des affaires étrangères, M. Kouchner, quelques heures à peine après la catastrophe, alors que des milliers d’Haïtiens sont ensevelis sous les ruines que les morts se comptent déjà par dizaines de milliers et les sans-abris par millions est : « il faut préserver l’ordre, arrêter les pillages, garantir les propriétés » !
 Trafic d’organes au Kosovo : un rapport accablant. Mais qu'en est-il du Rwanda?

Plusieurs médias serbes ont accusés Bernard Kouchner d'avoir couvert le scandale des trafics d'organes. À l'affaire de la Maison jaune, par référence à la couleur de la clinique clandestine où des organes étaient prélevés sur plus de 300 prisonniers civils serbes avant qu'ils ne soient exécutés, qui a été attestée par l'ancienne procureur du TPI Carla del Ponte dans son livre La Traque, les criminels de guerre et moi (...). 4 ans après les faits, les enquêteurs de Mme Del Ponte ont localisés la Maison jaune à Burrell (Albanie), mais n'ont pu y trouver d'indices permettant de reconstituer la filière. Le Conseil de l'Europe a fait ouvrir une nouvelle enquête.
En répondant à la presse, Bernard Kouchner ne manifeste aucune compassion pour les victimes et leurs familles.
Il choisit d'ironiser la complicité passive qu'on lui impute en niant l'existence du crime. En outre, il qualifie de "salauds et d'assassins » ceux qui colportent cette rumeur ; des propos qui incluent Carla Del Ponte. Un point gênant remet en question l'engagement humanitaire de Bernard Kouchner sur fond de business de traffic d'organes avec son complice et meilleur ami Paul Kagame.

Le French doctor avec le boucher de Byumba Où sont les cadavres de Byumba, de Mulindi? Où ont ils été gazés, insinérés? Les corps des victimes ont disparus!

Question: Peuvent-ils accpeter qu'une unquête soit mise en place pour faire la lumière sur ce côté jusquà'présent sinistre?? Les Survivants rwandais ont tant besoin de savoir ce qui s'est passé, savoir où sont les corps des leurs.

 Suivant le refus du FPR pour les membres du Parti Social Imberakuri de visiter le président fondateur du parti le Me NTAGANDA Bernard ainsi que d’autres prisonniers politiques détenus à la prison centrale de Kigali et de Kimironko ce vendredi le 15 Avril 2011 ;

Considérant la mise en isolation à la prison de Kimironko du secrétaire permanent et porte parole du Parti Social Imberakuri, monsieur MWIZERWA Sylivere et l’injustice parue au procès de ses 3 partisans hier à la haute cour de Gasabo, , le Parti Social IMBERAKURI porte à la connaissance du peuple rwandais, aux amis du Rwanda en général et aux Imberakuri en particulier ce qui suit :

1er article

Comme d’habitude pour tous les vendredis les partisans du Parti Social Imberakuri sont allés rendre visite le président fondateur du Parti Social Imberakuri le Me NTAGANDA Bernard ainsi que les autres prisonniers politiques à la prison centrale de Kigali connue sous le nom de 1930. Malgré la volonté et la pitié de les voir encore de ces partisans le FPR a été hostile car tous ont été privés de leur droits de visiter. Ils sont rentres comme ils étaient venus. C’est très grave et hostile!

Article 2

Comme nous l’avons dit et nous le soulignons encore le Parti Social Imberakuri a peur de son secrétaire permanent et porte parole monsieur MWIZERWA Sylivere et ses collègues prisonniers à la prison de Kimironko en plus de cela ils sont encore en isolation où ils sont torturé jour et nuit. En plus de cela, on est allé les voir mais on ne les a pas fait sortir.

Article 3

Le Parti Social Imberakuri s’inquiet de la justice rwandaise où on ne peut pas différencier la justice et le pouvoir ainsi que le FPR car aucun dossier politique passe en transparence. Considérant le procès renouvelé hier par la haute cour de Gasabo à Rusororo où le procureur accuse les 3 partisans du Parti Social Imberakuri, messieurs SHYIRAMBERE Dominique, YUMVIHOZE Célestin et HABIYAREMYE Donatien d’avoir participé à la grève non permise, de coopérer avec les terroristes et de semer la panique dans la population. Rappelons que ce procès était rapporte parce que le ministère public n’avait pas montré que les accuses étaient arrêtés de manière légale. Le juge a dit qu’il donne la faveur au ministère public pour qu’il puisse aller chercher les copies et les arguments ce qui a amené l’inquiétude au coté de la défense des accusés disant qu’il est allé forger et falsifier le dossier. Imaginez-vous la justice qui favorise le ministère public à falsifier les dossiers pour faire rester les innocents dans la prison.

Article 4

Le Parti Social IMBERAKURI réitère son appel pressant auprès de la communauté internationale qu’il est grand temps de venir à la rescousse du peuple rwandais avant qu’il ne soit trop tard.

Fait à Kigali, le 15avril2011

En Belgique, comme au Rwanda,  on fourbit les armes idéologiques propagées par les mots et des lois  contre les décrétés accusés « négationnistes ».  Au nom du mot "négationnisme", de son utilisation,  et de la loi de 1995 mise au point suite à l'apparition de Faurisson qui niait l'existence des chambres à gaz,  voici ou revoici  notre « lettre ouverte aux vrais négationnistes ».

Nous rappelons qu’il ne s’agit pas de parler de la Shoah qu’ont subi les juifs mais bien de l’amalgame que certains veulent imprimer dans les esprits en Belgique et ailleurs au sujet du Rwanda,

Cela afin de cacher les vrais enjeux sur toute l'Afrique et la majorité des crimes dont ils sont complices, depuis 1990, au moins.

•  Ceux qui empêchent les autres de pleurer leurs morts. 

• Ceux qui nient la mort des autres en ne parlant que de la leur ou de celles de leur clan, 
  
  
• Ceux qui empêchent les autres d’en parler en les effrayant, en effrayant les chercheurs, diseurs devérités. 
  
  
• Ceux qui sans vergogne nient, étouffent la parole et les deuils, le chagrin de ceux qui savent. 
  
  
• Ceux qui les relayent et empêchent, interdisent, nient leur existence ou la salissent. 
  
  
• Ceux qui veulent répandre à tous cris le mensonge dans les nouvelles générations ignorantes par le biais de l’enseignement et de l’éducation permanente,  de la culture et de la politique et ce avec les deniers publics, les nôtres. 
  
  
• Ceux qui traînent les autres devant des tribunaux qu’ils n’ont nullement mérités. 
  
  
• Ceux qui soutiennent le bien fondé d’une justice inique et improvisée,  transformant les lieux publics en tribunaux expéditifs. 
  
  
• Ceux qui corrompent, qui payent de faux témoins, qui avilissent l’intégrité et toute parole humaine, toute conscience restante. 
  
  
• Ceux, de nos élus, de nos élites, universitaires ou pas, qui osent les soutenir et se présentent souriant(e)s, faussement innocent(e)s sur des écrans et à la tête de parterres de conférences. 
  
  
• Abuseurs(se)s patentés, indignes d’éducation populaire ou pas. 
  
  
• Ceux qui cherchent à travestir l’histoire. 
  
  
  
• Ceux qui utilisent la victimisation au bénéfice matériel de leur propre descendance ou communauté, afin peut-être, de rendre plus exceptionnelle leur histoire. 
  
  
• Ceux qui par tous les biais s’ingénient à empêcher la libre expression,  quand il s’agit de celle des autres,  détournant notamment les canaux médiatiques à leur avantage ;  cela, au nom, à présent, d’une prétendue « résilience » personnelle, clanique ou communautaire revendiquée.
  
  
• Ils ne sont pas conscients, sans doute…. qu'à long terme, ils auront tort.... 
• A ceux-là, négationnistes de la vérité, nous disons : Nous soutenons ceux qui en ont besoin et qui veulent qu’on sache ce qui s’est passé et ce qui se passe.

 Theogene Rudasingwa | April 4, 2011

Mr. Theogene Rudasingwa, former first post- genocide Rwandan ambassador to the U.S

 What if you were sentenced to prison for writing negatively about the U.S. government?
This is the reality for Theogene Rudasingwa, former secretary-general for the Rwandese Patriotic Front, and many of his colleagues.

Rudasingwa recently was convicted by Rwanda President Paul Kagame and sentenced to 24 years in prison for writing about Kagame’s oppressive regime and the need for peaceful reform. The paper that Rudasingwa co-authored is called “The Rwanda Briefing.”

In the briefing, Rudasingwa and his colleagues share information about the current administration that is in place in Rwanda. They discuss how Kagame is a corrupt leader who does not allow for political opposition and actually uses his ties with the western countries as a way to hold his “monopoly of power.” Rudasingwa is part of the reason Kagame has these ties. As the first post-genocide Rwandan ambassador to the U.S., he helped the flow of resources from U.S. companies for the reconstruction of Rwanda. “The U.S. and the U.K. have been friendly to Kagame,” says Rudasingwa. “He uses those friendships for intimidation purposes.” 

Rudasingwa thinks that the U.S. and other big western countries need to throw their weight behind the people instead of the government. He also sees the current situation in the Middle East as an opportunity for the people of Rwanda to gain and use the support of the U.S.

“It will depend on if the situation in Libya drags on,” says Rudasingwa. “If it goes quickly, then Rwanda could get help, but if it drags on, then the western countries are likely to shy away.”

Bill Smith, director of the university's Martin Institute, compares this to the U.S. involvement in Somalia.

“Somalia happened a few months before the Rwandan civil war and genocide,” says Smith. “If that went smoother and quicker, there’s a chance the U.S. would have stepped in and helped Rwanda.”

However, the message is far different from the current situation in Libya. Rudasingwa and his colleagues want to build the citizens freedoms peacefully.

“The people of Rwanda still have not recovered from the war and genocide in the early 1990s,” says Rudasingwa. “They do not want more war and more bloodshed.” According to Rudasingwa, more than 1 million people were killed in the Rwandan genocide.“Egypt is a great example of peaceful change,” says Rudasingwa. “Once militaries get involved, the fight for change becomes more difficult.” 

Rudasingwa will be speaking at the 2011 Borah Symposium, which addresses "Human Security in the 21st Century."

“It’s great that this year’s theme is highlighting human security,” says Rudasingwa.

Human security is essentially being free from oppression and fear. Both of these are things, he notes, that the Rwandan people have been experiencing for many years.

He hopes to educate the students at the University of Idaho on the broader view of human security. Rudasingwa says that the situation in Rwanda, as well as the Middle East, may affect the average college student more then they know. He also sees a great importance in speaking at University of Idaho because of the idealism of college students.

“Many college students want to change the world,” he says. “We need to tap into that resource because the youth truly are the leaders of tomorrow.”

Rudasingwa feels that students everywhere need to be aware of what is happening around the world because it affects us all, even here in Idaho.

“It is imperative that people be involved,” he says. “If the U.S. was to get involved then that is American tax dollars and American lives that will be affected.”

He said it is like the “Butterfly Effect” because the actions of the world have a far lying affect.
“Being future leaders, these are the challenges that they will be facing and need to face,” he says. “Students are motivated by these causes; they don’t have as much baggage as my generation does and have fewer restraints.”

The first lady if Ivory Cost Mrs Simone Gbagbo beforeBeing humiliated and raped by Mr Ouattara's forces France denied participation in the infamous rape

Robert Hood says: We reported on the capture of Ivory Coast’s former president earlier today. You can read the full story here. The former president was clinging to power even after clearly losing an election. It seems that he deserved to be thrown out of office. However, this picture of his captured wife is disturbing. I hope the former first lady is alright.


After a week of heavy fighting, forces backing Ivory Coast's internationally recognized leader on Monday arrested strongman Laurent Gbagbo, who had refused to leave the presidency despite losing elections more than four months earlier.

Humiliation of Africa. No one should be happy for such human rights violations Mrs Simone Gbagbo raped? Abu Ghraib Abuse Photos?

The dispute over the presidency had pushed the world's largest cocoa producer to the brink of a renewed civil war, with hundreds of civilians slain in post-election violence.


An eyewitness at the Golf Hotel where election winner Alassane Ouattara had been trying to run the presidency said he saw Gbagbo, his wife and son enter the hotel around midday Monday. The witness spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.


The long-awaited development came after French military forces in this former French colony deployed tanks Monday for the first time near a bunker at the presidential residence where Gbagbo had reportedly been holed up with his family.

OMDAT DE DATUM VAN HET DEBAT IS VERPLAATST, IS DE ACTIE OOK VERPLAATST. 12 APRIL IS DE DEFINITIEVE DATUM. KOMT ALLEN EN NODIG NOG VEEL MEER ANDERE STUDENTEN UIT


 Het kabinet dreigt het collegegeld met 3.000 euro te verhogen voor studenten met meer dan een jaar studievertraging. Dit betekent dat studenten de kans ontnomen wordt om zich verder te ontplooien met bijvoorbeeld bestuurservaring of een stage. Daarnaast wordt er 200 miljoen bezuinigd op universiteiten en HBO’s, ondanks een toenemend aantal studenten.







Deze onderwijsplannen bedreigen de betaalbaarheid en de kwaliteit van het hoger onderwijs. Dat is onacceptabel en heeft geleid tot massaal protest van studenten en docenten op 21 januari. Het kabinet heeft zich hier niets van aangetrokken en negeert al die mensen die opkomen voor hun toekomst en de toekomst van het hoger onderwijs.

Wij – studenten uit het hele land – zijn hier woedend over en zullen opnieuw massaal de straat op gaan tegen dit asociale en kortzichtige beleid. Op de
dag van het Kamerdebat zullen we ons protest naar de deur van de Tweede Kamer brengen. We roepen alle studenten en docenten op om op te komen voor goed en betaalbaar onderwijs en zich bij ons aan te sluiten.

*De demonstratie vindt plaats op de dag van het debat in de Tweede Kamer. 12 april is definitief. Kijk voor meer informatie op  http://www.studenteninactie.nu

The presidents of the African states of Rwanda and Burundi have been killed in a plane crash near the Rwandan capital, Kigali.  (Watch video)

Ms Ingabire Victoire The would-be President of Rwanda And now in Prison

" Let's remember ALL victims", Ingabire victoire at Gisozi Memorial site.

Juvenal Habyarimana of Rwanda and Burundi's Cyprian Ntayamira were among 10 people on the aircraft which some reports say was brought down by rocket fire.

"Then there is the fact that Kagame's forces went into action within an hour of the shoot-down and that, within 100 days, succeeded in capturing state power in Rwanda. The alleged Hutu Power conspirators seem to have been in complete disarray, while Kagame's forces worked with great efficiency, which again points to a Kagame-RPF conspiracy to seize state power, rather than a Hutu conspiracy to eliminate the country's minority Tutsi.

We also stress the fact that the United States voted to scale down UN peacekeeping forces in Rwanda, and that this was what Kagame wanted, but the remnant of the Hutu government opposed. Again, this is consistent with the view that Kagame's RPF was doing the main killing, and didn't want anybody to interfere with it. Why would Kagame and his U.S. ally oppose "humanitarian intervention" in Rwanda, unless events were working out in favor of the RPF's goal of seizing the Rwandan state? Jones not only fails to deal with these critical questions. He doesn't even raise them.

Tsunami? Liberation?

Jones claims that Kagame and the RPF did not align with the Tutsi of Rwanda, the invading RPF allegedly having "no connection to, and apparently no particular sympathy for, the Tutsi civilian population of Rwanda." Jones fails to mention the long historic class division and warfare between Tutsi and Hutu, and the creation of many hundreds of thousands of Hutu refugees after the RPF invasion of Rwanda in October 1990, the Tutsi-organized assassination of the Hutu president Melchior Ndadaye of neighboring Burundi in October 1993, and the ensuing large-scale bloodbaths that followed.



He fails to mention the internal State Department memorandum of September 1994 which we cite that claims that the "[RPF] and Tutsi civilian surrogates [were killing] 10,000 or more Hutu civilians per month, with the [RPF] accounting for 95% of the killing," and that the memorandum "speculated that the purpose of the killing was a campaign of ethnic cleansing intended to clear certain areas in the south of Rwanda for Tutsi habitation."
Bloody feuding between the majority Hutu tribe and the minority Tutsis has plagued both tiny central African states for centuries.


More than 3 millions Rwandans lost their lives since the beginning of Kagame's wars.

Shockingly, it is  it is estimated that not only Tutsis lost their lives but Hutus have lost more and the genocide goes ahead if nothing is done to before the mastermind's term is out. So on ‘April 6, Remembrance Day’, remember not only the people who have died in 1994, but the other preventable Kagame's massmurder that will happen before the end of the 2017. And then ask yourself, what can I do to make sure that no more Rwandans  are grieving for their loved ones during this period.”

 So that we can avoid having further victims, and a population of 8 million Hutus can be preserved!
 We are a forward- looking nation of hope, but as much as we want to be a forward-looking people, April 6 each year, African SurViVors International,  urges all Rwandans to look back and reflect on the sacrifice of men and women who gave their life for the freedom of  Rwandan people (Hutu-Tutsi-Twa) and great nation.

Those who support the criminal Kagame should be strongly condemned so that they do not repeat it again. Those who shame you by their attempts to legalize Paul Kagame and the RPF criminals’ crimes should be treated as criminals too. For this I assume what I am saying. Please go through my blog and you will understand that you’re doings are to be condemned.
 
Let us remember that each one of the victims was an individual with a sense of prosperity and a dream of living a fulfilled life, but chose to make great sacrifice so that all Rwandans from all ethnic groups can live with freedom and democracy.

We usually condemn donor nations, Netherlands, Great Britain and United States for financing the bloody dictatorship and terrorist state in Rwanda but we ourselves are party to financing the RPF dictatorship by using their criminal organizations such us Ibuka, African rights, AVEGA, Local difense forces, MP, DMI and CID etc and other formal channels when transferring funds to our relatives and friends in Rwanda. The Rwandan Diaspora transfers more than $8 billion annually to Rwanda through both formal and informal channels such as banks and money transfer institutions, according to the National Central Bank of Rwanda in his last statement on the Rwandan Diaspora's contribution to buid up Kagame's autocratic regime.

The lack of criticism on RPF mass-slaughter has led to more deaths as the then major Paul Kagame had a green card to operate and slaughter the prejudiced Hutu out of camera.

Initially, the media imposed the version that the Rwandan Genocide was planned and carried out only by Hutus.It may be different from the actual ethnic group to which the individual himself identifies and ethnic group in which the individual is classified by the holder of power). But against all odds, after spending more than a billion dollars (U.S.) and employing the intelligence services of the United States, England, Canada, Belgium and Israel, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), has yet to find any physical evidence for their thesis of a central planning of the genocide. This result was quite predictable from the outset. In fact, intelligence gathering was and still is Paul Kagame's best strength. His agents had infiltrated all spheres of Rwandan society even before October 1990. So, if evidence of planning the Rwandan Genocide by Hutus ever existed, Kagame would have made it available to the ICTR immediately and thus would have definitively silenced skeptics.

René Lemarchand uses the phrase "politically correct interpretation of the genocide" to refer to what we call the standard model of the "Rwandan Genocide," which the majority of historians defend even in the face of massive evidence to the contrary. Among the relevant facts that this "politically correct interpretation" downplays or suppresses are the overwhelming significance of the October 1, 1990 invasion of Rwanda by the RPF under U.S. and Ugandan sponsorship, a war of aggression (not a civil war) the immediate goal of which was the ouster of the Habyarimana-Hutu majority government and the capture of state power by this foreign proxy; the RPF's responsibility for the assassination of Habyarimana, the "triggering event" of the April-July 1994 bloodshed, and the evidence (which all too few scholars are willing to examine) that it was in fact the actions of the RPF from this moment onward that drove the carnage, with the RPF's longer-term goal of deepening and expanding its own (and U.S.) influence in Central Africa. In the real world, the "Rwandan Genocide" (i.e., the deaths of perhaps one million Rwandans from April through July, 1994) occurred within this historical context -- as have the far greater bloodbaths that Kagame's and Museveni's national armies, proxies, "elite networks," and collaborators unleashed against the DRC since 1994 in an effort to capture its natural resources, with uninterrupted U.S. support through the present day.

There is no doubt that Lemarchand's warning makes a sound critical point about the dominant historiography on Rwanda -- a great deal of fear haunts the halls of "Genocide Studies." The devastation in these tragic Central African theaters of conflict has been greatly facilitated by the political triumph of the "correct interpretation," and the rejection of the kind of "revisionism" and "denial" that would call the Western-supported aggressions and the rolling genocides of Paul Kagame and Yoweri Museveni by their proper names.

African SurViVors International (ASI) is an international nonpartisan charity organization devoted to defending human rights. It’s an organization working to promote democracy and national reconciliation, inside countries of the African Great lakes Region.

ASI centers its work on the twin concepts of freedom of self-determination and freedom from tyranny. These ideals include the belief that all human beings have the rights to speak freely, to associate with those of like mind, and to leave and enter their countries. Individuals in a free society must be accorded equal treatment and due process under law, and must have the opportunity to participate in the governments of their countries;
 
ASI’s ideals likewise find expression in the conviction that all human beings have the right to be free from arbitrary detainment or exile and from interference and coercion in matters of conscience. ASI does not support nor condone violence.
