A Candle For Remembering

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.

Let us remember Our People

Let us remember our people, it is our right

You can't stop thinking

Don't you know Rwandans are talkin' 'bout a revolution It sounds like a whisper The majority Hutus and interior Tutsi are gonna rise up And get their share SurViVors are gonna rise up And take what's theirs. We're the survivors, yes: the Hutu survivors! Yes, we're the survivors, like Daniel out of the lions' den (Hutu survivors) Survivors, survivors! Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights et up, stand up, don't give up the fight “I’m never gonna hold you like I did / Or say I love you to the kids / You’re never gonna see it in my eyes / It’s not gonna hurt me when you cry / I’m not gonna miss you.” The situation is undeniably hurtful but we can'stop thinking we’re heartbroken over the loss of our beloved ones. "You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom". Malcolm X

Welcome to Home Truths

The year is 1994, the Fruitful year and the Start of a long epoch of the Rwandan RPF bloody dictatorship. Rwanda and DRC have become a unique arena and fertile ground for wars and lies. Tutsi RPF members deny Rights and Justice to the Hutu majority, to Interior Tutsis, to Congolese people, publicly claim the status of victim as the only SurViVors while millions of Hutu, interior Tutsi and Congolese people were butchered. Please make RPF criminals a Day One priority. Allow voices of the REAL victims to be heard.

Everybody Hurts

“Everybody Hurts” is one of the rare songs on this list that actually offers catharsis. It’s beautifully simple: you’re sad, but you’re not alone because “everybody hurts, everybody cries.” You’re human, in other words, and we all have our moments. So take R.E.M.’s advice, “take comfort in your friends,” blast this song, have yourself a good cry, and then move on. You’ll feel better, I promise.—Bonnie Stiernberg

KAGAME - GENOCIDAIRE

Paul Kagame admits ordering...

Paul Kagame admits ordering the 1994 assassination of President Juvenal Habyarimana of Rwanda.

Why did Kagame this to me?

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

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

Rwanda-rebranding

Rwanda-rebranding-Targeting dissidents inside and abroad, despite war crimes and repression Rwanda has “A well primed PR machine”, and that this has been key in “persuading the key members of the international community that it has an exemplary constitution emphasizing democracy, power-sharing, and human rights which it fully respects”. It concluded: “The truth is, however, the opposite. What you see is not what you get: A FAÇADE” Rwanda has hired several PR firms to work on deflecting criticism, and rebranding the country.

Targeting dissidents abroad One of the more worrying aspects of Racepoint’s objectives was to “Educate and correct the ill informed and factually incorrect information perpetuated by certain groups of expatriates and NGOs,” including, presumably, the critiques of the crackdown on dissent among political opponents overseas. This should be seen in the context of accusations that Rwanda has plotted to kill dissidents abroad. A recent investigation by the Globe and Mail claims, “Rwandan exiles in both South Africa and Belgium – speaking in clandestine meetings in secure locations because of their fears of attack – gave detailed accounts of being recruited to assassinate critics of President Kagame….

Ways To Get Rid of Kagame

How to proceed for revolution in Rwanda:
  1. The people should overthrow the Rwandan dictator (often put in place by foreign agencies) and throw him, along with his henchmen and family, out of the country – e.g., the Shah of Iran, Marcos of Philippines.Compaore of Burkina Faso
  2. Rwandans organize a violent revolution and have the dictator killed – e.g., Ceaucescu in Romania.
  3. Foreign powers (till then maintaining the dictator) force the dictator to exile without armed intervention – e.g. Mátyás Rákosi of Hungary was exiled by the Soviets to Kirgizia in 1970 to “seek medical attention”.
  4. Foreign powers march in and remove the dictator (whom they either instated or helped earlier) – e.g. Saddam Hussein of Iraq or Manuel Noriega of Panama.
  5. The dictator kills himself in an act of desperation – e.g., Hitler in 1945.
  6. The dictator is assassinated by people near him – e.g., Julius Caesar of Rome in 44 AD was stabbed by 60-70 people (only one wound was fatal though).
  7. Organise strikes and unrest to paralyze the country and convince even the army not to support the dictaor – e.g., Jorge Ubico y Castañeda was ousted in Guatemala in 1944 and Guatemala became democratic, Recedntly in Burkina Faso with the dictator Blaise Compaoré.

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 fist, 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.

Kigali, 12 May 2012
We are saddened by the death of Sadiki Mutabazi in Kigali hospital after setting himself alight in a protest against violence by security staff.

FDU-Inkingi is deeply saddened by the passing of Sadiki Mutabazi and takes this opportunity to express its sincere condolences to his family. He died of severe burns resulting from a self immolation after the regime security personnel confiscated his belongings and beat him publicly in Gisenyi (Rubavu District).

In our 08 May 2012 press release , we underlined how this young boy in a desperate move decided to terminate his life after this public humiliation. In unprecedented protest, he poured gasoline over his body and set himself ablaze like the public self immolation of Mohammed Bouazizi in Tunisia that triggered the Arab spring.
We call upon the government of Rwanda to hand over his remains and provide support for a honorable burial. The RPF-led government needs to inform the public about urgent measures taken if any to investigate and bring to book those involved in Sadiki Mutabazi ordeal and to subsequently sanction security hierarchy in the area.

Théogène Rudasingwa, ancien bras droit du président rwandais Paul Kagame, a été entendu vendredi à Paris dans le cadre de la deuxième enquête française sur l’attentat du 6 avril 1994 contre l’avion du président Juvénal Habyarimana. Issu de l’ancienne diaspora tutsi comme l’homme fort de Kigali, Rudasingwa accuse le président Kagame, depuis son exil en 2005, d’être le principal responsable de cet attentat. Un attentat considéré comme l’élément déclencheur du génocide de 1994 qui a fait, selon l’ONU, près de 800.000 morts, essentiellement d’ethnie tutsi.

Par Clive Muhenga

"J’ai répondu aux questions des juges (Marc) Trévidic et (Nathalie) Poux la semaine dernière. J’ai dit tout ce que je sais de cet attentat ", a indiqué Rudasingwa l’ancien directeur de cabinet du président Kagame, à Radio Netherlands Worldwide, joint au téléphone aux Etats-Unis. Aujourd’hui membre très actif du Congrès national rwandais (Rwanda National Congress - RNC) qu’il a créé en exil avec d’autres anciens compagnons d’armes du chef de l’Etat, Rudasingwa fut également secrétaire général du Front patriotique rwandais (FPR) actuellement au pouvoir, puis ambassadeur du Rwanda aux Etats-Unis.


Menaces

"Plusieurs autres témoins rwandais sont prêts à être entendus. Mais il faudra que des mesures de protection soient prises pour eux parce que Kagame veut éliminer tous ceux qui détiennent des informations sur cet attentat", a poursuivi Rudasingwa. "Moi-même je suis conscient des menaces contre ma personne, mais il arrive des moments où l’on prend son courage à deux mais pour dire la vérité." L’ambassadrice rwandaise aux Pays-Bas, Immaculée Uwanyiligira, a réfuté l’année dernière toute allégation de menaces de la diaspora rwandaise.
Rudasingwa a expliqué à RNW avoir pris ce risque à cause de la "gravité de la question". "Les gens doivent dire la vérité, aussi longtemps que le mensonge et l’impunité règneront au Rwanda, il n’y aura pas de justice au Rwanda. Il faut la justice pour tous les Rwandais ", a déclaré Rudasingwa. "Il faut que l’auteur principal de cet attentat soit puni, dans l’intérêt de la justice, de l’unité et de la réconciliation des Rwandais. C’est Kagame qui a ordonné d’abattre l’avion, déclenchant ainsi le génocide. Il faut que les auteurs du génocide (des Tutsi) soient poursuivis et punis. Sans oublier Kagame qui l’a déclenché", a-t-il ajouté dans cet entretien téléphonique. Il a refusé d’aborder en détail son interrogatoire par les deux juges français.

L’enquête Habyarimana

Une enquête a été ouverte en France en 1998 suite aux plaintes des familles des membres d’équipages français décédés dans l’attentat. D’abord menée par le juge Jean-Louis Bruguière, qui avait conclu en 2006 à la responsabilité du FPR, l’instruction est désormais entre les mains de deux juges anti-terroristes, Nathalie Poux et Marc Trévidic. Les résultats d'une expertise balistique effectuée à leur demande in situ à Kigali, en septembre 2010, sont toujours attendus.

Le Bureau du Procureur auprès du Tribunal pénal international pour le Rwanda (TPIR) s’est toujours refusé à enquêter sur l’attentat du 6 avril 1994, affirmant qu’il ne rentrait pas dans son mandat, explication qui ne convainc pas les organisations internationales de défense des droits de l’homme comme Human Rights Watch et Amnesty International.

Are Rwanda’s courts ready to prosecute the country’s worst crimes? As opposition leader Victoire Ingabire announces she will boycott her terror trial after losing all hope of having a fair trial, some critics are saying it appears not.

By Josephine Uwineza, Hilversum

“I cannot carry on with this case," she told judges on Monday. "My trust in the judiciary has waned. I and my legal representatives will not report to this court any more."

“Ingabire’s decision to withdraw from the trial certainly doesn’t increase her chances of being acquitted,” says her British lawyer, Iain Edwards. “But she’s a grown woman, she’s an intelligent woman, she’s an independent woman and she has taken the decision that she has.”

Ms Ingabire Victoire
The Would be President of Rwanda
And now in Prison.
Western Governments should improve their

sincerity on democratic issues in Africa.
The Criminal Kagame is no way intimidated
He's even encouraged to assassinate

That woman who still believes in
DEMOCRATIC VALUES


Enough is Enough
At the same time that Ingabire—and even her lawyer—are boycotting her trial and accusing the judge of bias, the International Criminal Court for Rwanda (ICTR) is going ahead with its plan to transfer its first war crimes suspect to Rwanda’s courts: Pastor Jean Uwinkindi, charged with genocide, extermination and crimes against humanity during the 1994 genocide, will be sent to Kigali later this week.
ICTR judges had previously kept Uwikindi in Arusha, saying they couldn’t send him back until “a suitable monitoring mechanism is established to oversee his trial." In ruling that Uwikindi could be returned, court President Judge Khalida Rachid Khan instructed the registry to “urgently undertake discussions and negotiations” to put such a monitoring system in place. While ultimately the ACHPR (African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights) will monitor the domestic trials, for now, an interim monitor is doing the job.
Fair trial?
Courts worldwide—including those in Canada, Norway, Sweden and even the ECHR (European Court of Human Rights)—are also ruling that it is safe to send Rwandans back home for fair trials.
But Victoire Ingabire insists it is not.

During her trial in Kigali last month, she challenged judges to nullify the laws related to “divisionism” and “genocide ideology.” She argued they are too broad and being exploited by current President Paul Kagame’s government to limit the freedom of thought.


The ideology law is seen by many legal specialists and human rights organizations as “impossibly vague, broad and abstract,” according to a 2010 Amnesty International report.


But just last week, Rwandan Supreme Court judges rejected her plea on a technicality, saying “she had failed to secure a copy of the 2008 law on genocide, which was also supposed to be attached to her plea.”
Ingabire’s key witness, Michel Habimana, a Lt Colonel of the FDLR (Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda), told the court he has been intimidated by prosecutors’ threats and interrogated by unknown officials, casting further doubts, say legal experts, on the independence of the judiciary.

Brothers and sisters, the horror remains in our minds
Kwicisha udufuni, kubamba abantu ku biti, gusekura impinja ba nyina bakazirya, Kurunda abahutukazi mu mazu,

Gufatwa kungufu muli za gereza za communes na gendarmeries, abana balira muzindi cells,
Abandi bakicana babitegetswe

Kwica abagabo gusa(gendercide) ku musanze n'i Gitarama;
Abaphiriye mu manama, mu bukwe, ntiwareba!
Izo nzira karengane zose, haba mu Rwanda muli Congo
N'abandi bose bishwe na the RPF death squad,
Parents, brothers and sisters, wives and husbands,
For all mass-slaughtered refugees,
Abo bose,
They sent ripples of pain through our minds.
Memories of death and haunted fears,
And the chills begin to crawl slowly up our spines.

The shockwaves of RPF terror, then the wiping of tears,
For it was all too real once more.
We grieve for the innocent lives that were lost,
As our prayers begin to reach Heaven's door.

Take their hands Dear God we pray,
And let them know we truly cared.
Their lives will not have been lost in vain,
But we're thankful for the lives that were spared.

We share the emptiness they feel inside,
The pains of grief they bear.
The loss of direction, their questions of why,
With the smell of murder in the air.

Whether it be Byumba, Ruhengeri, Kibungo & Gitarama,
Or out on the open waves.

These beasts keep planting the seeds of fear,
While their leaders hide in those Rwanda caves.
Thinking nobody will find them
Even if arrest warrants are flying above them

You are in our hearts and our minds,
For the losses you have suffered today.
We'll continue the prayers to our Lord above,
That He'll hold your fears at bay.
For all those victims, no kubabikoze bose bica abandi,
kuli Kagame wiyibagiza ibyaha yakoze, na RPF members,

So that we can fully reconcile,

Do more than to remember, Organize yourselves
Have a united community against Kagame the Devil,
And one day we will be deliberated, the Evil combatants will be captured and sent to the bar of Justice and of course
We will remember our deliverance
And one day you will be hearing again your beloved hymn
With Faith and overwhelming emotions.

Never forget.

Rwanda viert binnen enkele maanden zijn 50ste
onafhankelijkheidsverjaardag. Het autoritaire beleid van president
Paul Kagame pakt graag uit met indrukwekkende groeicijfers. Volgens
het Nationale Instituut voor Statistiek van Rwanda is de armoede er
met niet minder dan 12 procent gedaald. Het probleem is, zegt
UCL-onderzoekster An Ansoms, dat die cijfers niet overeenkomen met de
realiteit.

Maïskolven hangen te drogen aan de huizen in Rwanda
Volgens de laatste cijfers van het Nationale Instituut voor Statistiek
van Rwanda is de armoede in het land met een indrukwekkende 12 procent
gedaald in de laatste vijf jaar. Om tot deze conclusie te komen,
werden de cijfers van het EICV3 ('Enquête Intégrale sur les Conditions
de Vie des Ménages') vergeleken met de cijfers van het EICV1 uit
2000-2001 en het EICV2 van 2005-2006.

Daar waar in 2000-2001 59 procent van de bevolking onder de nationale
armoedegrens leefde, en in 2005-2006 nog 57 procent, was dat volgens
de laatste cijfers nog maar 45 procent. Volgens de Rwandese regering
een waar succesverhaal en een rechtstreeks bewijs dat haar economisch
groeimodel leidt tot een verbetering van de levensomstandigheden van
de Rwandese bevolking.

Zeer verwonderlijke resultaten, volgens An Ansoms van de Université
Catholique de Louvain (UCL), die sinds 2006 veldonderzoek verricht
betreffende de levensomstandigheden van plattelandsboeren in Rwanda.

Zij onderzoekt de impact van het landbouwbeleid in zes dorpen,
verspreid over drie verschillende districten. Hoewel de resultaten van
deze studies niet zonder meer kunnen geëxtrapoleerd worden naar heel
Rwanda, stelde zij tijdens haar laatste studie van 2011 vast dat de
problemen die zich in heel Rwanda voordoen en het leven van deze
boeren bemoeilijkt.

Een toelichting bij drie belangrijke problemen en knelpunten.

Landbouwbeleid gericht op productie voor de markt
Het huidige landbouwbeleid verplicht de Rwandese boeren ertoe
marktgericht te produceren. Dit houdt in dat in een bepaalde regio een
bepaald gewas (of een beperkt aantal gewassen) geteeld mogen worden en
in een andere regio een ander gewas. Hierdoor wordt de handel
gestimuleerd waarbij de verschillende gewassen 'uitgewisseld' worden.
Voor de kleinschalige landbouw (het overgrote deel van de
landbouwsector in Rwanda valt onder deze categorie) stelt dit echter
twee problemen.

Met een gemiddelde van acht gewassen kunnen tegenslagen opgevangen
worden als bijvoorbeeld door ziekte of slechte weersomstandigheden de
oogst van een gewas tegenvalt. Met een beperkt aantal gewassen valt
dit vangnet helaas weg.

Doordat de boeren aangewezen zijn op handel, moeten zij vaak een
beroep doen op tussenpersonen. Het zijn deze handelaars die het
sterkst staan in de onderhandelingen en met de winst gaan lopen. De
kleine boeren staan in een zwakke onderhandelingspositie.

Dit probleem zou moeten worden opgevangen door coöperaties, waar de
kleine boeren gezamenlijk actie kunnen ondernemen. In de praktijk is
er echter een gebrek aan transparantie in het beleid van de
coöperaties en de kleine boeren hebben er weinig zeggenschap (zie
verder).

Beleid van 'verdorpelijking' en hervestiging
Traditioneel wonen mensen in Rwanda niet in duidelijk te onderscheiden
dorpen, maar wonen zij verspreid over de heuvels. Als een jongeman de
overgang wil maken naar de volwassenheid, moet hij - volgens de
traditie - aan zijn vader een deel van het land vragen om zijn eigen
thuis te kunnen bouwen. Als hij dat wenst, kan hij dit indien nodig en
financieel mogelijk, verder uitbouwen. Een eigen huis hebben, is de
voorwaarde om als volwassene te kunnen doorgaan, te kunnen trouwen en
een eigen gezin te kunnen beginnen.

Dit patroon van verspreid wonen, strookt niet met de visie van de
overheid van hoe een moderne staat eruit moet zien. Het doel is de
plattelandsbevolking tegen 2020 te hervestigen in duidelijk
afgebakende nederzettingen en dorpen. De prijs van de grond in deze
'dorpen' is dikwijls zeer hoog. Daar komt nog bij dat de huizen moeten
worden gebouwd volgens bepaalde standaarden. Zo moet er bijvoorbeeld
een aparte keuken, toilet en stal zijn. Weerom erg kostelijk.
 
Het gevolg is dat veel jongemannen geen eigen huis kunnen bouwen. Dus
niet als volwassene beschouwd worden en ook niet kunnen trouwen.
Vooral in de armere families raken veel jonge mensen niet los van hun
status van 'onvolwassene'. Hiermee nauw verbonden, is de toename van
het aantal ongehuwde moeders, wat resulteert in sociale uitsluiting en
marginalisatie.

Bevolking gaat onder de vele verplichtingen gebukt
Zoals hierboven beschreven, moeten de Rwandese boeren aan vele eisen
tegemoetkomen. Hieronder enkele voorbeelden van de talloze
verplichtingen die de regering oplegt en van de mistoestanden die er
uit ontstaan.

- De huizen moeten worden gebouwd volgens bepaalde standaarden. De
koeien moeten in stallen gehouden worden en mogen niet los lopen te
grazen. Noch het huis zelf, noch de stal, mag een dakbedekking hebben
van bananenbladeren. De dakbedekking moet bestaan uit steeds duurder
wordende dakpannen. In één van de dorpen in de buurt van Kigali, waar
ik onderzoek doe, had het dorpshoofd beslist dat alle huizen die niet
gebouwd waren met bakstenen, moesten verdwijnen.

- De mensen moeten schoenen en 'deftige' kledij dragen als ze niet op
het land werken.

- Het land dat iemand bezit, moet worden geregistreerd, wat weerom
extra kosten betekent.

- Iedereen men een ziekteverzekering betalen. Sinds juni 2011 is het
bedrag verdrievoudigd van 1.000 Rwandese frank (zo'n 1,5 keer een
gemiddeld dagloon) naar 3.000 Rwandese frank.

- Ook met de coöperaties zijn er problemen. Allereerst de kost voor
het lidmaatschap. Zonder lidmaadschap geen toegang tot het vruchtbare
moerasland dat zij dikwijls al decennia lang bewerken. De leden worden
verplicht hun oogst aan de coöperatie over te dragen. Soms volgen
zelfs huiszoekingen tijdens de oogsttijd om vast te stellen dat mensen
geen deel van de oogst achterhouden.

Er is een geval bekend waar de leden minder geld terugkregen dan dat
ze in de coöperatie gestopt hadden. Alle winst bleef aan de handen van
de leiders van de coöperatie plakken. Voor het huwelijk van de baas
van de coöperatie moesten alle leden 5.000 Rwandese frank betalen als
'geschenk'.

- In een ander dorp werden de boeren verplicht hun koffie te verkopen
aan de nabijgelegen koffiefabriek. Deze is in handen van het Rwandese
ministerie van Defensie. Het is in dat dorp verboden koffiestruiken
uit te trekken. Ook hier is er sprake van huiszoekingen om er zeker
van te zijn dat de mensen geen koffie achterhouden om te gaan verkopen
op de lokale markt.

- Om een artisanaal baksteen- of tegelbedrijf te runnen, is een
speciale toelating nodig. Enkel moderne ovens zijn toegestaan. Voor
lokale investeerders is dit gewoon te duur. Om actief te zijn in de
kleinhandel is ook toelating nodig en moet belasting worden betalen.

Ook de lokale autoriteiten staan onder zware druk van de regering in Kigali
Onder het derde probleem vallen ook de verplichtingen voor de lokale
autoriteiten. Er is een heel systeem van 'prestatiecontracten'. Op
alle niveaus, van dorp tot district, moeten de autoriteiten aan
bepaalde door de regering vastgestelde doelstellingen voldoen.

Enkele voorbeelden:
- een bepaalde productietarget halen voor bepaalde gewassen;
- ervoor zorgen dat 90 procent van de bevolking hun ziekteverzekering betaalt;
- ervoor zorgen iedereen in een huis woont dat voldoet aan de standaardnormen.

Op zich lijkt het niet slecht dat de lokale autoriteiten deze
doelstellingen nastreven. Maar door angst voor een sanctie of ontslag,
worden de doelstellingen heel star en blindelings toegepast, zonder
rekening te houden met eventuele negatieve gevolgen voor de lokale
bevolking.

De frustratie groeit
Bij het onderzoek dat ik in 2007 deed, waren de reacties van de
geïnterviewden nog erg gereserveerd, vooral wat kritiek op het
overheidsbeleid betreft. In 2011 was dit helemaal anders. De
frustratie van de mensen was aanzienlijk toegenomen. De onderzoekers
kregen nu gedetailleerde informatie over de moeilijkheden waarmee de
kleinschalige landbouwers moeten zien te overleven, en de grote impact
die het overheidsbeleid heeft op hun levensomstandigheden.

Hoe deze verhalen te rijmen vallen met de optimistische evolutie in de
armoedecijfers van de Rwandese overheid blijft een mysterie.

Philippe Brou – cameroonvoice.com, le 17 mars 2012









"Ses amitiés suspectes avec des chefs d'Etat sulfureux. Comment il est manipulé par les Occidentaux. Le quotidien Le Monde dénonce ses méthodes contestables.

La question de son bilan et de ses méthodes plus que discutables est donc à l'ordre du jour. Et Le Monde ne passe pas par quatre chemins pour le tacler sévèrement. «Dans ses communiqués, M. Moreno-Ocampo revendique une impartialité qui est démentie par les faits. Poignée de main chaleureuse avec l'Ougandais Yoweri Museveni, admiration déclarée pour le Rwandais Paul Kagamé, dont les pratiques sont pourtant dénoncées par l'ONU et les ONG», écrit Le Monde. Qui aurait également pu noter la rencontre discrète d'Ocampo et de Ouattara à son domicile privé parisien, et la «poignée de main chaleureuse » avec Guillaume Soro, pourtant soupçonné des pires crimes contre l'humanité.

A Yoweri Museveni et Paul Kagame, qui ont historiquement prêté leurs pays comme bases arrières aux rébellions congolaises et qui ont été les alliés indispensables des multinationales qui pillent la RDC, Le Monde aurait pu adjoindre Blaise Compaoré, revolver françafricain tendu sur l'Afrique de l'Ouest, complice de Charles Taylor au Liberia, en Sierra Leone et en Côte d'Ivoire mais jamais inquiété, tellement dans le secret des dieux qu'il a pu «prophétiser » dès 2003 sur l'extradition du président Laurent Gbagbo à la CPI. Museveni, Kagame et Compaoré sont les alliés des Occidentaux et des «nouveaux prédateurs» en Afrique et, sous Ocampo, cela vaut impunité.

Le Monde poursuit dans sa lancée. «C'est par le jeu des preuves que la justice internationale peut être manipulée. En enquêtant par des intermédiaires, par procuration, le procureur multiplie les risques. Sa victoire dans l'affaire Lubanga semble être une goutte d'eau dans la lutte contre l'impunité au Congo. En obéissant à la même stratégie au Darfour, en Libye ou en Côte d'Ivoire, M. Moreno-Ocampo reste soumis au bon vouloir des puissances régionales et occidentales», écrit Stéphanie Maupas. En évoquant les «intermédiaires» dont se sert l'actuel procureur, la journaliste du Monde met les pieds dans le plat et permet de comprendre la pertinence de la démarche de l'avocat principal du président Gbagbo à la CPI, Maître Emmanuel Altit, qui entrave la stratégie d'Ocampo, qui veut «expurger» (faire disparaître des dossiers) de manière systématique et sans s'expliquer les noms de ses «victimes» mais également de tous les membres de son bureau, de tous ses enquêteurs et de tous ses traducteurs. Parce que, selon toute évidence, il a travaillé main dans la main avec des officines du RDR, et ne voudrait pas que la Défense enquête sur ses enquêteurs et leur crédibilité. La référence aux «intermédiaires» fait également penser à l'utilisation excessive de Human Rights Watch, ONG financée en grande partie par le milliardaire Georges Soros, qui est réputé avoir financé la campagne d'Alassane Ouattara.

La technique d'Ocampo, qui consiste à «séquencer» les crises et les crimes liés à ces crises afin d'accabler les personnes qu'il vise, sans avoir à s'en prendre aux protégés des grandes puissances, est également dénoncée par la correspondante du Monde à La Haye.

«Jean-Pierre Bemba, principal opposant au président congolais, Joseph Kabila, est à La Haye depuis novembre 2010. Il est un acteur majeur des guerres de l'est du Congo. Mais pourtant, devant la CPI, il ne répond que des crimes commis en République centrafricaine. Un peu comme si le tribunal pour l'ex- Yougoslavie avait inculpé l'ancien président Slobodan Milosevic pour la seule guerre du Kosovo, faisant l'impasse sur son rôle en Bosnie-Herzégovine. Les accusations du procureur sont circonscrites à quelques faits. Elles ne donnent pas une vision claire des responsabilités dans la guerre féroce que se sont livrés par milices interposées l'Ouganda, le Rwanda et le Congo.
«Il voulait conduire une affaire rapide et facile»

Le pli politicien de Luis Moreno-Ocampo, plus soucieux des effets de manche que de la soif de justice des victimes, transparaît également de l'article du quotidien français. Pour gagner du temps, et se donner de la contenance avant son départ, le procureur qui n'avait jusque-là bouclé aucun de ses nombreux dossiers, a envoyé valdinguer toutes les charges relevant des violences sexuelles et des massacres au sujet de l'affaire Lubanga. «Le procureur nous avait demandé d'oublier les massacres, il voulait conduire une affaire rapide et facile, affirmait en 2009 un enquêteur qui avait claqué avec amertume la porte de la Cour», révèle Stéphanie Maupas. Au final, l'article du Monde reprend quasiment tous les griefs que les analystes ivoiriens critiquant la méthode Ocampo ont développés ces derniers mois.

Le Nouveau Courrier n'est pas peu fier d'avoir été à la pointe du combat contre les impostures du procureur argentin sur une affaire Gbagbo qu'il laissera comme une patate chaude à son successeur, la Gambienne Fatou Bensouda, qui sera déjà à la barre lors de l'audience de confirmation des charges le 18 juin prochain. Bien entendu, rien ne prouve qu'elle sera plus soucieuse du droit et moins politicienne que son prédécesseur. Comme lui, elle a été, au fond, cooptée par les puissances occidentales qui utilisent tant la CPI comme un jouet que son crédit ne cesse de s'éroder. Dangereusement. »

[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 fist, 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]

RPA commander, Paul Kagame tours RPF-controlled areas, Feb. 11, 1993.

CONFIDENTIAL


The shooting down of Falcon 50 jet carrying President Juvenal Habyarimana of Rwanda, President Cyprien Ntaryamira of Burundi, and French flight crew. April 6, 1994.

An eye witness account. By code name "Water Melon". Narrated on January 17, 25, and 28, 2007. Narrated to Timothy Kalyegira.

1. At the time of the August 1993 ceasefire between the government of Rwanda and the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) in Arusha, Tanzania, the Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA) had set up its military intelligence headquarters at Mulindi, in the Byumba district of Rwanda.

2. The Commanding Officer of the Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI) in the RPA was Colonel Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa. The vice Commanding Officer was Lieutenant Colonel Jackson Mutabazi Rwahama. Water Melon was an escort to Rwahama.

3. At the time of the invasion of Rwanda in October 1990, Rwahama was a Captain. He was later to become the Commanding Officer of the RPA Military Police after 1994. Up to 1993, Rwahama was the administrative officer of the RPA's Directorate of Military Intelligence.

4. Under the terms of the Arusha accords, the RPA's DMI was to provide security to the RPF Members of Parliament in Kigali who had been selected to represent the RPF in the National Assembly. 600 RPA soldiers were to be based at the parliament in Kigali to provide this security to the RPF members of parliament. The RPA unit at the Kigali parliament buildings was called the Republican Guard.

5. The DMI agents used to transport firewood to the RPA soldiers at the parliament buildings which was used for cooking. The firewood was ferried in a Mercedes Benz trailer lorry.

6. Hidden on the floor of the Mercedes trailer were RPA soldiers whom the RPA was secretly taking to Kigali to reinforce the 600 soldiers agreed upon under the terms of the Arusha accords. A few RPA soldiers at a time were ferried to Kigali until their total reached 1,400 men. This brought the total number of RPA soldiers in Kigali to 2,000. At that point, the RPA stopped taking any more men to Kigali and the mission was brought to an end.

7. Around February 1994, the RPF went on a secret mission. The Rwandese refugees in Uganda had created an association which they called "Banyamulyango", to coordinate their political and social activities.

8. Secretly, a large consignment of machetes (known in East Africa as pangas) was purchased and sent to the NRA detach at a place called Kamwezi in the Kabale district of southwest Uganda. The machetes were wrapped in polythene paper and packed in wooden crates.

9. They were loaded onto a yellowish-green Tata lorry with Ugandan registered number plates. The RPA intelligence officer, Lt. Colonel Jackson Rwahama, came to the RPA detach in a red Toyota single cabin pick up and received the machete consignment.

10. Rwahama then drove across the border into Rwanda and with the Tata lorry behind him, the consignment was taken to the PRA headquarters at Mulindi. High security was observed around the lorry. Soldiers who saw the machetes as they were unpacking them were told that they had been brought to clear the jungle and bush area around the Mulindi camp.

11. In March 1994, the RPA turned to another mission: to try and locate the best vantage point to position themselves as close as possible to the flight paths over the Kanombe airport. "Water Melon" was able to establish this new mission based on the conversations that he picked up as an escort to the DMI's vice commanding officer, Lt. Col. Rwahama.

12. To carry out this reconnaissance, the DMI operatives had to evade roadblocks set up in Kigali by the FAR government army. To do this, they got help from a Tutsi employee of the United Nations based in Kigali.

13. This Tutsi who worked for the UN, was in his 50s or late 40s, he lived in a suburb of Kigali called Kikukiro, and most of his family lived in Burundi.

14. This Tutsi man drove a blue Toyota Hilux single cabin pickup and his role was to guide the RPA's DMI agents around Kigali and he helped them locate the best vantage point below the aerial flight paths leading to Kanombe airport.

15. The UN guide took the RPA DMI personnel on three trips to study the Kigali area. The first trip took them along the Bugesera, while the second reconnaissance trip took the group long the Mulindi road. They came back through the Masaka road and returned to the Parliament buildings.

16. A third trip was made and it would be the final one. On this third trip, the DMI crew left the Parliament buildings on foot to the home of the UN man in the Kikukiro suburb. They returned to Parliament in his Toyota pickup.


17. The RPA had an armory at their camp at the Parliament buildings. In that armory the RPA kept three missiles. These missiles and a missile launcher were wrapped in an olive green polythene material.

18. After the DMI personnel returned from the Kikukiro suburb on the Toyota pickup, they headed for the armory. They got out three missiles and took them outside. The missiles were put onto a four-inch foam mattress. The launcher was also put alongside the missiles. The mattress was then rolled and tied up.

19. Supervising the whole exercise was Lieutenant Bosco Rumenera who was the Intelligence Officer of the RPA Republican Guard. Also supervising this mission of packing the missile was Major Stephen Munyandinda, the Operations Intelligence Officer of the 600-man Republican Guard.

20. Another man on that missile team was Sergeant James Rwaka of the DMI staff. He was in charge of logistics and finances. It was his job to pay the DMI staff and pay them on their missions. He had studied for a Law degree from Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda.

21. Also on the DMI team was a man called Joseph Nyamitale. He was a Ugandan of the Bakonjo tribe from Kasese in western Uganda. He was a private in the RPA and was an artillery specialist. He had received his artillery training at the RPA's training wing in Gikoba, in Rwanda.

22. The missiles and launcher were put onto the Toyota pickup. Then around or just after five O'Clock in the afternoon of April 6, 1994, the DMI team and their escort "Water Melon" left the Parliament buildings. The UN man was driving the pickup.

23. Bosco Rumenera was dressed in a tan suit, white shirt, and striped necktie. He was a tall man and had a missing front left tooth.

24. The UN man wore a brown shirt and ash-grey trousers. Nyamitale wore a black T-shirt and black jeans.

25. During that day, the RPA commander Major-General Paul Kagame sent a radio message to the RPA units in Kigali giving some instructions.

26. They drove along Masaka road via Mulindi and then turned onto a dirt road off the Masaka road. They drove about five kilometres along that road until they reached a house belonging to a friend of the UN man.

27. It was an old house with an iron sheet roof. Outside the house were four cows grazing. The DMI team stayed inside the house until after sunset and then set off again.

28. The DMI team walked to a nearby hillock and settled at the top of it. The hillock was about 50 metres away from the old house.

29. This hillock was about three kilometres away from Kanombe airport and the DMI team could see the lights of the airport in the distance from where they stood.

30. The Tutsi UN man remained in his pickup a short distance away from the old house as the DMI team settled on top of the hill.

31. On top of that small hill was a large white tent with the initials "UNHCR" printed on it. The DMI team took the missiles and launcher with them into the tent where they were unwrapped.

32. The missile launcher was an olive green military colour. It was in two parts that the DMI team fitted together into one tube. The point where the two tubes were joined together was black. The DMI team then waited for a while. It was now around half past seven or coming toward eight O'Clock in the evening.

33. About 30 minutes after they arrived at the hillock, a male voice came on Lt. Bosco Rumenera's Motorola two-way radio. Lt. Bosco Rumenera's radio code name was "Sixteen-Charlie".

34. The voice called out, in English: "Sungu-Sungu, Four-Nine-Romeo."
Sungu-Sungu replied, in English, "Go ahead."
Four-nine-Romeo then said, in English, "Connect me Double Five."
Sungu-Sungu called out three times: "Double Five?" but there was no reply from Double Five.
Sung-Sungu then told Four-Nine-Romeo, in Kiswahili and English: "Enda direct kwa Two-Zero-Nine." ("Go direct to Two-Zero-Nine").
Four-Nine-Romeo then called out three times, in English: "Two-Zero-Nine, Four-Nine-Romeo?"
Four-Nine-Romeo then came back, in English: "Two-Zero-Nine connect me Sixteen-Charlie."
Two-Zero-Nine then called twice, in English: "Sixteen-Charlie, Two-Zero-Nine?"
Two-Zero-Nine then replied, in English: "Four-Nine-Romeo, go ahead."
Four-Nine-Romeo then called out, in English: "Sixteen-Charlie, Four-Nine-Romeo?"
Sixteen-Charlie then replied, in Kiswahili: "Sukuma ujumbe." ("Send your message").
Four-Nine-Romeo then gave the order, in Kiswahili: ""Okiwone kitu yote, piga!" ("If you see anything, hit!")
After that order, Sixteen-Charlie replied, in English: "Over, out."


35. The artillery specialist, Private Joseph Nyamitale, then got the launcher, now with a missile inside it, and placed it on his shoulder. He pointed the launcher into the dark night sky.

36. The missile launcher then started giving off a wailing, siren-like noise. Nyamitale then told his colleagues in Kiswahili: "Missile ena liya. Kwisha pata target." ("The missile is crying. It has located its target.")

37. After Nyamitale said this, the escort "Water Melon" of the DMI was ordered to leave the location and return to the old house. A teenage boy at the old house who had followed the team out of curiosity was also sent back to the house.

38. The escorts had barely left the location when they heard a single explosion at the location where the DMI officers stood. It was the sound of the missile being fired.

39. The escorts stayed at the house while the team led by Bosco Rumenera remained at the location where they had fired the missile. During the aftermath of the firing of the missile, Bosco Rumenera and his team got into steady radio communication with unknown people in another part of town.

40. The lights at the airport remained on for a while in the immediate aftermath of the shooting down of the presidential jet.

41. Three hours later, at about 11:00 p.m., on April 6, 1994, the escorts were finally called back and told to pack the remaining two missiles onto the back of the Toyota pickup. The team then drove off.

42. The team, driven by the UN Tutsi official, encountered a roadblock at Mulindi manned by the government soldiers. The UN man suggested that they avoid the roadblock and instead walk through the nearby bush back to the Parliament buildings.

43. The DMI team got out of the pickup and started walking in the direction of the airport while the UN official turned back and drove in the opposite direction with the two remaining missiles and other accessories.

44. The DMI team emerged from the bush and onto the road leading from the airport to the Lemera suburb of Kigali. The whole of Kigali city was in upheaval, with chaos everywhere and people on the streets and roads talking about an aircraft accident. But at that time, Bosco Rumenera, Joseph Nyamitale, and the DMI team did not understand what was going on.

45. They walked on, toward a place called Kyemihurura and encountered a serious roadblock, manned by soldiers and men in civilian clothes holding machetes. The DMI team were ordered to stop but pleaded to be allowed to go on their way.

46. The soldiers ordered them to sit down by the roadside. At that point, sensing danger, Bosco Rumenera drew out a pistol and shot two of the civilians in the chest. They fell down dead on the road.

47. Other men at the roadblock, seeing this, pounced onto the DMI team and overpowered them. They cut Bosco Rumenera into pieces with a machete. Joseph Nyamitale, the man who fired the missile that blew up the Falcon 50 jet, was also hacked to death by this group manning the roadblock. Sergeant Rwaka was taken away captive.

48. The escort "Water Melon" had been walking at a distance of about 30 metres behind the DMI team and he stopped in his tracks when he saw what was happening at the roadblock.

49. After he watched his colleagues being hacked to death, he fled the scene and back in the direction from which they had come, toward town until he found the St. Famille Church and took refuge there. Inside the church were ordinary civilians, both Hutu and Tutsi, and some of them were listening to the news over small radios.

50. The news was entirely about the death of the Presidents of Rwanda and Burundi, blown up by a missile as the plane approached landing at Kanombe airport en route from a summit in Tanzania. That was when "Water Melon" made the connection between their DMI mission that night and the events unfolding in Rwanda.

51. There was no other aircraft that had been shot down by a missile or any other gunfire that night over Kigali or any other part of Rwanda. This made "Water Melon" realise that their mission, which they did not fully understand at the time, had been to shoot down the plane carrying President Habyarimana.

52. Lieutenant Bosco Rumenera and Private Joseph Nyamitale died at the roadblock without knowing the magnitude of the mission that night, April 6, 1994.

Profile

I am Jean-Christophe Nizeyimana, an Economist, Content Manager, and EDI Expert, driven by a passion for human rights activism. With a deep commitment to advancing human rights in Africa, particularly in the Great Lakes region, I established this blog following firsthand experiences with human rights violations in Rwanda and in the DRC (formerly Zaïre) as well. My journey began with collaborations with Amnesty International in Utrecht, the Netherlands, and with human rights organizations including Human Rights Watch and a conference in Helsinki, Finland, where I was a panelist with other activists from various countries. My mission is to uncover the untold truth about the ongoing genocide in Rwanda and the DRC. As a dedicated voice for the voiceless, I strive to raise awareness about the tragic consequences of these events and work tirelessly to bring an end to the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF)'s impunity. This blog is a platform for Truth and Justice, not a space for hate. I am vigilant against hate speech or ignorant comments, moderating all discussions to ensure a respectful and informed dialogue at African Survivors International Blog.

Genocide masterminded by RPF

Finally the well-known Truth Comes Out. After suffering THE LONG years, telling the world that Kagame and his RPF criminal organization masterminded the Rwandan genocide that they later recalled Genocide against Tutsis. Our lives were nothing but suffering these last 32 years beginning from October 1st, 1990 onwards. We are calling the United States of America, United Kingdom, Japan, and Great Britain in particular, France, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany to return to hidden classified archives and support Honorable Tito Rutaremara's recent statement about What really happened in Rwanda before, during and after 1994 across the country and how methodically the Rwandan Genocide has been masterminded by Paul Kagame, the Rwandan Hitler. Above all, Mr. Tito Rutaremara, one of the RPF leaders has given details about RPF infiltration methods in Habyarimana's all instances, how assassinations, disappearances, mass-slaughters across Rwanda have been carried out from the local autority to the government,fabricated lies that have been used by Gacaca courts as weapon, the ICTR in which RPF had infiltrators like Joseph Ngarambe, an International court biased judgments & condemnations targeting Hutu ethnic members in contraversal strategy compared to the ICTR establishment to pursue in justice those accountable for crimes between 1993 to 2003 and Mapping Report ignored and classified to protect the Rwandan Nazis under the RPF embrella .

Everything happens for a reason

Bad things are going to happen in your life, people will hurt you, disrespect you, play with your feelings.. But you shouldn't use that as an excuse to fail to go on and to hurt the whole world.

Remember everything happens for a reason and when one door closes, the other opens for you with new blessings and love.
