Madame President? No, Madame Prisoner: Rwanda’s Victoire Ingabire

by Ann Garrison

Victoire Ingabire, imprisoned Rwandan woman leader sentenced to 15 years of jail

Victoire Ingabire, imprisoned Rwandan woman political leader who was sentenced to 15 years of jail on 13/12/13.

The Obama administration and its European allies lavish praise, weapons and money on Paul Kagame’s military and ethnic dictatorship in Rwanda. Meanwhile, Victoire Ingabire, a woman of peace, languishes in Kagame’s prisons. If she were president, “there would be a major change in how Rwandans and Congolese live as neighbors, because that would be the end of Rwanda invading Congo.”

 “Why have President Obama and the U.S. State Department remained so silent about her case?”

Nearly 60% of Rwanda’s Members of Parliament are women, and the country is commonly praised for empowering women. In October 2011,

Rwandan President Paul Kagame’s delirious state newspaper even suggested that he deserved that year’s Nobel Peace Prize more than the three African women who won, because of his “good practices” to “guarantee a future devoid of gender imbalance.” Trouble with this theory is that Madame Victoire Ingabire, the one woman who dared to challenge Paul Kagame by attempting to run against him in 2010, has been in prison ever since. On Friday, December 13th, while Kagame was in South Africa to pay his last respects to Nelson Mandela, his Supreme Court upheld Victoire’s conviction and extended her sentence from eight to fifteen years.

Rwanda’s Supreme Court justices, 42% of whom are women, agreed with the lower court’s ruling that Victoire conspired to form an armed group to overthrow the government of Rwanda, but Human Rights Watch and many others called the charges politically motivated and the European Parliament called for justice and said that the lower court had not met international judicial standards. I myself spoke to Victoire for Pacifica’s KPFA Radio-Berkeley many times in 2010 and I’ve never known anyone so opposed to armed conflict or committed to the rule of law.  Her conviction for this would be a howler if she weren’t facing another twelve years in prison and her family weren’t facing their fourth Christmas without her.

Victoire speaks fluent Dutch, French, Kinyarwanda, and English, but pronounces “dialogue” and “debate” with a distinct and adamant French accent.  After the 2010 release of the UN Mapping Report documenting President Kagame’s army’s war crimes, crimes against humanity, and even genocide against Hutu refugees in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, she told KPFA that the mandate of the International Criminal Tribunal on Rwanda should be expanded to include crimes in Congo. Instead, she herself went to prison five days later.

Other prisoners who testified to joining her in a conspiracy to form an armed group were granted release for time served on the same day her own conviction was upheld.

President Obama?  

No one would seem to be more respectful of the West’s nominally revered democratic institutions and civil liberties than this Rwandan political prisoner, Victoire Ingabire, so why have President Obama and the U.S. State Department remained so silent about her case?  Neither President Obama nor British Prime Minister David Cameron hesitated to make it known that they had warned President Kagame not to send reinforcements across Rwanda’s western border to his M23 militia in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), when M23 finally faced defeat by the Congolese army and UN Force Intervention Brigade.  So why have they not, like the European Parliament, called on Rwanda, their longstanding ally and “military partner” to respect  judicial standards in Ingabire’s case?

“Victoire stands for negotiation with armed Rwandan refugees in Congo.” 

Many reasons, no doubt, including former President Bill Clinton’s determination to protect his longtime friend Paul Kagame and their mutual determination to preserve the received history of the Rwandan Genocide and ensuing Congo wars and conflict.  Another may be Victoire’s opposition to their longstanding plan to make Rwanda, or at least its modern capital city Kigali, the “Singapore of Africa,” a banking, technology, and minerals processing hub and multinational corporate gateway to the resource riches of the DRC.  In 2010, during her thwarted attempt to run for president, Victoire said:

“The rural population in Rwanda has been neglected for the last 16 years and, instead of the Singapore model of development, which gives the lion’s share to a tiny, urban privileged elite, I would invest in agriculture, I would invest in rural roads and health networks. I would review the land management and I would give priority to the subsistence food crops, rather than cash crops which benefit mostly traders from urban areas. For example, if people cultivate only maize – if you ask them to cultivate only maize for export – what will they eat? This is why I will give priority to enough food to my people.”

Like Tanzanian President Jacaya Kikwete, Victoire stands for negotiation with armed Rwandan refugees in Congo, who have been the Kagame regime’s excuse for invading and plundering that country for years.

“Victoire Ingabire does not believe in invading the neighbors,” said Rwanda Genocide survivor and Friends of the Congo activist Claude Gatebuke.   “So Victoire’s case is very significant, not only for Rwanda, but also for Congo.  If Victoire Ingabire were allowed to run for president in Rwanda, and she won, there would be a major change in how Rwandans and Congolese live as neighbors, because that would be the end of Rwanda invading Congo.”

Imagine that.  After almost 20 years, and millions of Congolese and Rwandan refugees dead.

Speech crime 

The lower court also upheld Victoire Ingabire’s conviction for several speech crimes.

1) “Spreading false rumors” intended to incite the public to rise up against the state.
Enough said, I hope, for anyone who believes in free speech.  Or anyone who understands that Rwanda is an authoritarian spy state that has engaged in a war of aggression in neighboring Congo for nearly 20 years.

2)  “Minimizing” the 1994 Rwandan Genocide.

In 2010, Victoire went to the Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre, and said that Hutu as well as Tutsi victims should be remembered there.  The history of the Rwandan Genocide, codified in Rwanda’s Constitution, is that it was only Hutu extremists’ “Genocide Against the Tutsi.”

Before she went to prison, Victoire told KPFA listeners,“ My party and I have never denied the genocide, by the UN understanding, because the Resolution 955 from UN says that in Rwanda was genocide against the people of Rwanda . . . there was genocide against Tutsis and moderate Hutus. We don’t have to forget that. Yes, there was genocide and all people involved should be brought to the court. But, before, during, and after the genocide, other Rwandese people were killed. Hutus and Tutsis were killed. Is this denying genocide? I don’t feel so.”

It’s difficult to rationally argue with this, because the 1991 Rwandan census, as documented by Ed Herman and David Peterson in The Politics of Genocide, reported a Rwandan population of 7,590,235, including 645,170 Tutsis, more than 300,000 fewer than the million Tutsis commonly reported to have died in the genocide.  And because Ibuka, Rwanda’s Tutsi genocide survivors group, has claimed that some 300,000 of these 645,170 Tutsis survived. President Kagame would therefore seem to have a lot of bones on display in his genocide memorial sites that he can’t properly account for as the result of his Constitutionally codified “Genocide Against the Tutsi.”

“Rwanda is an authoritarian spy state that has engaged in a war of aggression in neighboring Congo for nearly 20 years.”

Ever since I began to try to untangle this story, with my own focus on U.S. responsibility for backing the Kagame regime, Rwandan Hutu people have told me that they simply want to be able to bury and openly mourn their dead, that this is what they must do to heal and reconcile.  Others have told me that they want all the bones buried, not displayed in memorial museums, because it’s not normal in Rwanda to display the bones or body parts of the dead for tourists or anyone else.

To many Rwandans, that is what Victoire Ingabire represents.  Acknowledging, remembering, mourning, and burying all the dead.

Quite a few Rwandans appeared out of cyberspace to respond to my 2010 report,Rwanda’s packed prisons and genocide ideology law.  Some were absolutely furious, others deeply relieved, just because another writer in the U.S., which has been the dominant power in the region since the Rwanda Genocide and Congo Wars, was trying to make sense of this. At that point I realized how bitterly ethnically polarized Rwanda remains, despite the government’s claim that ethnicity no longer exists there.  One reader who appreciated the report left this unforgettable statement in the comments section:

“I am from Kiyombe in Byumba. RPF [Rwandan Patriotic Front] came in 1991 and called all the people from our village for a security meeting.  After people had gathered at the soccer pitch of Kiyombe, Mr. Hitler Kagame ordered his military to bomb the gathering. I escaped and went through the tea plantation and found my way to Uganda.  Ever since I have never returned to Rwanda but I am still considered a genocide denier or genocidaire.  Why? Simply because I am a Hutu and I don’t even have rights to go back to Rwanda and bury my family and relatives in dignity. Do you know how old I was then?  Just 16.  I survived but it is me and me alone.”

DfID 2 9 11 Banner

After reading that, I turned to maps and found Kiyombe and Byumba, near the Ugandan border which the RPF, led by General Paul Kagame, had crossed in 1990.  And, which this young man then crossed all alone a year later, running in the other direction as a refugee. I also found the tea plantation that he said he had escaped through, and the tea processing plant nearby.

Rwanda: Agasongero k’ikinyoma n’akarengane twasigiwe na GACACA

 

Mw’izina ry’Abaturage b’u Rwanda (au nom du Peuple Rwandais), Inkiko GACACA zasize zimitse mu Rwanda akarengane, urwango, ubujura no guhonyora uburenganzira bwa muntu. Porofeseri wo muri Kaminuza (Université Catholique) ya Kabgayi MUBERUKA Pascal azitaba kuri tariki ya 09/01/2014 Urukiko rwisumbuye rwa Muhanga. Ntazi niba azaba agiye kuburana urubanza rwerekeranye n’ifungwa ry’Ibyitso muri 1990-1991 cyangwa azaburana urupfu rwa Mbaraga Rayimondi, ukiriho akaba akorera Leta y’u Rwanda.

Uwo ni uwari Burugumesitiri wa Komini Mushubati, Bwana Munyankumburwa Emmanuel, wahise afungurwa. Urukiko rwemeje ko gusaka no gufunga ibyitso by’Inkotanyi mu rwego rw’akazi nku’uko n’ubu bikorwa atari icyaha cya jenoside. Amaze kuba umwere, MUBERUKA wari Umushinjacyaha IPJ (Inspecteur de la Police Judiciaire) wa Komini Mushubati muri 1990-1991) aregwa ibyo Burugumestri bakoranye yagizweho umwere.

Mu batangabuhamya bamushinjura abatutsi batatu (3) barafashwe bakatirwa ibihano bikomeye bigamije gucecekesha burundu n’undi muntu wese w’inyangamugayo watinyuka gushinjura ababeshyerwa cyangwa ababorera muri za gereza z’u Rwanda barengana

Umugore wa Muberuka nta bategetsi n’imilyango irengera abantu atatakambiye. Kuva kuri Perezida Paul Kagame, ugaca kuri Domitila MUKANTAGANZWA n’abandi bayobozi bari bakuriye GACACA. Abarenganije umugabo we Muberuka bahisemo kwimika umuco wo kugambanira no kurenganya inzirakarengane.

Abatangabuhamya bashinja MUBERUKA bahawe umwanya munini wo kuvuga icyo bashaka byose. Abashinjura Muberuka benshi ntibatumijwe, n’abaje bamburwaga ijambo kimwe n’umuburanyi MUBERUKA wanditse amabaruwa arenga 40 (mirongo ine) kuva yafungwa asaba kumurenganura. Yandikiye abategetsi n’inzego nyinshi z’ubutegetsi n’imilyango irengera ikiremwamuntu biba iby’ubusa na nubu aracyafunzwe arengana.

Dore ibyiciro byinshi by’ako karengane nkuko tubisoma mw’ibaruwa n° CNDP/OCT/576/09 yo kuwa 30/10/2009 Komisiyo y’Uburenganzira bwa Muntu (CNDP) yandikiye Umunyamabanga Nshingwabikorwa w’Urwego rw’Igihugu rwari rushinzwe Inkiko GACACA muri icyo gihe ariwe Madamu Domitila MUKANTAGANZWA :

6.      Ikindi kitagenze neza n’uko wasangaga Muberuka Pascal asa n’aho aburana na Perezida w’Inteko aho kuburana n’uwamureze.

7.      Ikindi cyakwibazwaho ni uko dosiye ya Muberuka Pascal yavanywe mu buryo butunguranye mu rubanza yari ahuriyeho na Hategeka Augustin na bagenzi be bagombaga kuburanishwa n’Urukiko Gacaca rw’Ubujurire rw’Umurenge wa Kicukiro nk’uko byari mu ibaruwa n° Réf 1521/MDMD/2009 yo ku wa 27/12/2009, Urwego rw’Igihugu Rushinzwe Inkiko Gacaca rwandikiye Urukiko Gacaca rw’Ubujurire rw’Umurenge wa Kicukiro rusaba kuburanisha Hategeka Augustin na bagenzi be. Yaje (Muberuka) kuburanishwa wenyine n’Urukiko rw’Ubujurire rw’Umurenge wa JABANA.

8.      Madamu Munyamabanga Nshingwabikorwa, Komisiyo isanga Muberuka Pascal yaravukijwe uburenganzira ku rubanza ruciwe mu mucyo (privé d’un procès équitable).

Iyi baruwa n° CNDP/OCT/576/09 yo kuwa 30/10/2009 Komisiyo y’Igihugu y’Uburenganzira bwa Muntu (CNDP) yasinywe na Perezida w’iyo Komisiyo, Madamu KAYITESI Zaïnabo Sylvie, irasobanura bihagije akarengane kakorewe Muberuka Pascal.

Komisiyo yasabye Madamu Mukantaganzwa Domitila ko urubanza rwa Muberuka rusubirwamo nkuko na nyirubwite yabisabye mu ibaruwa ye yo ku wa 29/09/2009 yandikiye Perezida w’Inama Rusange y’Umurenge wa Gihuma, rugahabwa indi nteko kandi rukaburanishwa mu mucyo no mu butabera. Nkuko byagaragaye, Madamu Mukantaganzwa yasuzuguye Komisiyo y’Uburenganzira bwa Muntu. Bityo Muberuka akaba yarakomeje gufungwa kugeza na n’ubu. Ikigo CLIIR ntikiramenya niba MUBERUKA Pascal azahabwa umwanya wo kwisobanura maze agahita afungurwa nkuko byakagombye kugenda mu gihugu kivuga ko kigendera ku mategeko.

Nkuko twabisobanuye mw’Itangazo ryacu n°80/2005 ryasohowe ku wa 18/03/2005, abategetsi ba gisilikare cyangwa bo mw’ishyaka rya FPR-Inkotanyi biyemeje kuyobya imikorere y’Inkiko Gacaca bagamije kuzikoresha mu guhohotera abahutu b’inzirakarengane.

Hagambiriwe kubafungisha no kubacuza imitungo yabo. Gukenesha imilyango y’abahutu mu buryo bunyuranye. Kuyobya Gacaca babigezeho binjiza ba Maneko ba DMI benshi muri izo Nkiko. Babigezeho birukana Inyangamugayo zitorewe n’abaturage zirenga ibihumbi 45 (45.000 juges) nkuko Madamu MUKANTAGANZWA Domitila yabyivugiye mu kiganiro yagiranye na BBC tariki ya 15 Nyakanga 2006.

Uwo mubare w’Inyangamugayo Gacaca zirukanywe ungana n’ibice 25 kw’ijana (25%) by’Inyangamugayo zisaga 200.000 zari zaratowe. Inyangamugayo zirukanywe zari zaranze kwinjira muri gahunda y’abamaneko ba DMI (Directorate of Military Intelligence) bashakaga kubashora mu kagambane ko gufungisha abahutu b’inzirakarengane babahora ko ari abahutu gusa.

Ba maneko DMI bamaze kwigarurira Inkiko Gacaca, nibwo abahutu benshi mu bize amashuri menshi, mu bakozi ba Leta, mu bacuruzi, mu barimu no mu baganga b’abahutu, baciriwe imanza n’Inkiko Gacaca hagambiriwe kubafungira ubusa no kubacuza imitungo yabo. Gacaca yatumye abaturage benshi bahunga igihugu cy’u Rwanda. Benshi bahungira za Burundi, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzaniya, RDCongo no mu Burayi.

UMWANZURO :

Nkuko Ikigo kirwanya Umuco wo Kudahana no Kurenganya mu Rwanda (CLIIR) kitahwemye kwamagana uburyo abagome, abagambanyi n’abajura bakoresheje Inkiko GACACA bagahohotera abaturage batagira ingano babafungisha, babacuza imitungo yabo. Uruhare rw’abategetsi b’inzego zinyuranye narwo rwaragaragaye mu kwimika ubwo bugome n’ubujura bwakorewe mu Nkiko GACACA.

Ikindi cyagaragaye kandi kibabaje n’uruhare rukomeye, Madamu Domitila MUKANTAGANZWA (Umunyamabanga Nshingwabikorwa wari ukuriye Inkiko Gacaca) yagize mu KURENGANYA abantu bashowe mu manza za Gacaca bazira gusa ko ari abahutu bafite amashuri cyangwa imitungo igaragara. Byari byoroshye kwitabaza udukipe tw’abantu bashonje (kandi mu Rwanda abashonji ni benshi) ukabashora mu manza zo gushinja ibinyoma, ubizeza inyungu bazabona mu gihe Imitungo y’abarengana itejwe cyamunara bagahabwa ku mafaranga avuye muri ubwo bujura bushyigikiwe n’abategetsi.

Turasaba ko Porofeseri MUBERUKA Pascal yafungurwa nta yandi mananiza bamushyizeho.

Leta ya Kagame irahakana ikanapyobya jenoside yakorewe Abatutsi.

louise“urupfu rw’umuntu wigaragaje nk’urwanya igihugu nta mpuhwe ruteye” 

Hon. Louise Mushikiwabo

Minisitiri w’ububanyi n’amahanga akaba n’umuvugizi wa Guverinoma y’u Rwanda

 

Kuva aho FPR ifatiye ubutegetsi yahuye n’ikibazo kitoroshye cyo kwemeza isi yose ko koko ubwicanyi bwakorewe abatutsi ari jenoside. Abaregwaga mu rukiko mpuzamahanga na bo akenshi bakomezaga gushimangira ko nta jenoside yabaye kugeza aho mu mwaka wa 2006 icyo kibazo gikemuwe bidasubirwaho ko ubwicanyi bwakorewe abatutsi mu Rwanda ari jenoside. Kugeza na n’ubu ubwicanyi bwakorewe abahutu bwo kuva ku itariiki ya 1 Ukwakira 1990 buracyagibwaho impaka, nta rukiko rubifitiye ubushobozi rwari rwafata umwanzuro ko ari jenoside n’ubwo bwose hari ibimenyetso bifatika byerekana ko ari jenoside koko! Ni ukuvuga ngo ni jenoside ititwa jenoside.

Jenoside yakorewe abatutsi ikimara kwemezwa ku buryo budasubirwaho, leta y’u Rwanda yatangiye urugamba rwo kwibasira abantu bakoraga commentaire iyo ari yo yose kuri jenoside. Utararezwe kuyihakana yarezwe kuyipfobya. Guhakana jenoside umuntu agenekereje yavuga ko ari ukuvuga ko itabayeho cyangwa se kwerekana ko yari ngombwa. Cyakora gupfobya byo igisobanuro gikunze kugorana. Mu Kinyarwanda gupfobya bisobanura gusuzugura ikintu, ukakigira gitoya ugamije kwerekana ko nta gaciro gifite.

Imanza zagiye zicibwa zo gupfobya jenoside akenshi wasangaga umuntu aregwa icyo cyaha byo nyine kuko yavuze ko n’abahutu bishwe kandi bakeneye ubutabera.Icyo kikaba icyaha cyo gupfobya jenoside ngo kuko ugereranyije ubwicanyi bwakorewe abatutsi n’ubwakorewe abahutu.

Par conséquent, ni ukwemeza ko jenoside yari ifite ishingiro kuko abantu bikizaga umwanzi n’ibyitso bye.

Aha hari uwavuga ati abatutsi ntibari abanzi. Igisubizo ni ukubanza kumenya ni nde ugena umwanzi w’igihugu. Iyo igihugu cyatewe ubusanzwe leta igira ijambo igeza ku baturage ikanavuga icyo amaperereza yagaragaje ku bijyanye n’umwanzi. Niba Leta yaravuze ko umwanzi ari FPR n’ibyitso( njye sinabyiyumviye) ni ukuvuga ko abavuzwe bafatwa nk’abanzi koko kabone n’aho byaba atari ukuri. Uyu munsi niba umuvugizi wa guverinoma avuze ku mugaragaro ko Karegeya na bagenzi be ari abanzi ndetse leta igomba kubarwanya ni uko bifatwa nyine n’ubwo byaba atari ukuri.

Gushyigkira imvugo abakoze jenoside bitwaje kandi bakaba barumvaga ko bakoraga ibikwiye, ukayisubiramo nawe wemeza ko kwica bikwiye kuko wikiza umwanzi nk’uko abakoze jenoside babivugaga, nta kundi njye nagufata uretse kuvuga ko nawe uhakana jenoside ukanayipfobya.

Arrests made after death of Rwanda’s ex-spy boss

download

Col Patrick Karegeya

Three Rwandan nationals were arrested for the murder of Rwanda’s former spy chief Patrick Karegeya, the New Agereported on Wednesday.

Karegeya (53) was living in exile in South Africa for a number of years. He was found dead in the Michelangelo Towers in Sandton, Johannesburg, last Wednesday.

Private investigator Chad Thomas reportedly said Rwanda’s Lieutenant Colonel Francis Gakwere was among those arrested in Maputo, Mozambique, for Karegeya’s murder.

“Gwakere was also a prime suspect in the failed hit on General Kayumba Nyamwasa in 2010 but there was insufficient evidence to allow the charges to stick,” Thomas was quoted as saying.

Three other suspects were still on the run.

Karegeya’s nephew David Batenga said he last saw his uncle with a close family friend, Apollo Kiririsi, at the hotel.

The New Age reported that Kiririsi had since been seen in Rwanda and had denied any involvement in the killing.

Kagame accusations
Former Rwandan army chief-of-staff Nyamwasa and others have accused Rwandan President Paul Kagame of ordering Karegeya’s assassination.

Kagame has denied the claims.

While the Rwandan government denies it targets dissidents for assassination, the death of Karegeya fits a pattern of attacks on Rwandan dissidents. Kagame has long been accused of extra-territorial killings, including ones committed when Karegeya was the feared boss of Rwanda’s external security agency.

Among the attacks, gunmen twice tried to kill Kagame’s former chief of army staff Nyamwasa while he was living in exile in Johannesburg in 2010. Nyamwasa told the Associated Press in 2012 that Kagame has hunted him and other dissidents around the world “using hired killer squads”.

Rwanda’s foreign minister said on Monday her government had no sympathy for the slain former spy chief. He had a falling out with the country’s president. Rwanda’s prime minister also warned on Monday that betraying one’s country brought consequences.

In Twitter messages, Rwandan Foreign Minister Louise Mushikiwabo said Karegeya was a “self-declared” enemy of their African nation. Referring to Karegeya’s death, she tweeted: “You expect pity?”

Responding to the tweets, Karegeya’s eldest son Elvis asked her on Twitter: “So it’s your government’s view that any ‘enemy’ of the state deserves to be strangled to death?” Mushikiwabo responded: “It’s my Gov position: 1. what happens to its enemies shd not make it lose sleep & 2. investigation shd proceed”

She repeated accusations that the slain dissident colonel and his colleagues had been behind grenade attacks in Rwanda in recent years.

Fake SA passport

Karegeya’s family, meanwhile, said the Ugandan government has rejected a request for him to be buried in Uganda, the country of his birth and where his mother and siblings still live. James Mugume, the permanent secretary at Uganda’s foreign ministry, said on Monday Karegeya cannot be buried in Uganda because of “sovereignty” issues.

“He was a citizen of Rwanda and was resident in South Africa. We don’t want to interfere in other countries’ matters,” Mugume said.

In an interview with the Associated Press on Monday, Karegeya’s nephew Batenga, said he believes that the last person seen with Karegeya used a fake passport to enter South Africa. Batenga said on Monday that the man, whose full name is Apollo Kiririsi Gafaranga, had seemed to be a friend of the former Rwandan external intelligence chief.

“We haven’t been able to find any record of him entering the country. So he must have used a fake passport,” Batenga said.

Fears of the Rwandan regime

Three days earlier, Batenga and his uncle had picked Gafaranga up at a light-rail station and driven him to the plush Michelangelo Towers where he had asked to be booked in. According to family members and friends, Gafaranga had spent years earning Karegeya’s trust and had travelled to South Africa at least four times, always apparently on fake documents and staying at Karegeya’s home.

But this time asked to be booked into a hotel, citing growing fears of the Rwandan regime and the security risk to his friend.

Karegeya was found dead in the hotel room after failing to respond to phone calls and text messages from his nephew. Gafaranga was gone, taking only his cellphone and wallet with him and leaving his suitcase behind in the room, Batenga said. Batenga believes more than one person was involved in the killing, saying it would likely take a several men to overpower his uncle and there weren’t any signs of a massive struggle in the hotel room. – Sapa, Sapa-AP

Death didn’t take a Christmas break in Congo!

ba-ki-moon

Ban Ki-Moon in the picture is responsible for more than 6 million Congolese killed by Kagame and his proxy war groups

Congo faced an attempted coup on December 30, 2013 and 143 innocent people were killed, not the real perpetrators who are or were part of DRC government but innocents.

Plus, a beloved Congolese colonel was assassinated as a reward for his dedication to protect Congo sovereignty. It was alleged that a rocket hit his car but specialists say that this is false and that the vehicle was burnt after Colonel Mamadou Ndala’s body was riddled with bullets and burnt.
Two Tutsi officers were arrested as suspects.

Moreover, today RFI announces that they managed to get a new UN report that will be released very soon and that shows how Rwanda and Uganda are fuelling the war in DRC through the M23, which is not dead obviously despite a peace accord signed with Congo government in Nairobi lately.

We have many questions: when will this hypocrisy stop? When will those who consider Kagame as a ”darling” stop their support? When will people finally admit that the ones arming Rwanda and Uganda are to be found here in the West and that they need to be held accountable for the millions death in DRC?

You as a people can do something, you need to stand up either by joining Congolese demonstrations when they take place or by signing the petition we launched and that can be found on our website www.dbbtt.org

Congo does not need charity nor tears but JUSTICE!

Unusual genocide commemoration in January: The Kagame’s trench warfare to carry out terrorist acts and killings!

koooooIn reality, apart from Kagame and his RPF’s clique, everybody realizes that the strategy to name the genocide against Tutsi alone while shedding blood of other nationals is outdated. That is why many people are trying to get answers to these questions:

  1. What is the meaning of this abrupt genocide commemoration in the month of January?
  2. What are its real motives?
  3. What link(s) between this commemoration and the death of Colonel Patrick Karegeya that occurred on January 1st, 2014?

 1.                  Let us recall the following:

It has become customary to commemorate the genocide against Tutsi alone (no Hutu is commemorated) from the month of April! And given that this took place for almost twenty years, we had enough time to observe, analyze and fully understand what this unending mourning means.

Although the United Nations concluded that genocide acts took place in Rwanda, and created the international Criminal Tribunal Court in Arusha (Tanzania) to prosecute and try those responsible for genocide crimes, the UN never mentioned that the genocide was committed exclusively against the Tutsi alone, nor did it declare that genocide was committed exclusively by Hutu alone. After numerous contradictions, it is the government led by the RPF that decided to:

  • Discriminate the dead: declaring that only Tutsi should be mourned and commemorated because the genocide was committed against them alone; and that Hutu who were killed should neither be mourned nor commemorated, and have no right whatsoever to be buried in dignity owed to human beings.
  • Discriminate the killers: declaring that a killer emanating from Hutu tribe is the only deadly and thus, must be held responsible for his crimes, for his father’s and for his grandfather’s, and that even little children who have no connection with those killings shall spend their life on knees, asking forgiveness to Tutsi; while a killer from the Tutsi tribe must be treated as a national hero and be crowned. However, investigations carried by the united Nations and reports on massacres committed by the Kagame’s army in the Democratic Republic of the Congo(DRC) have revealed that these killings should be tried in competent courts as genocide crimes against the Hutu.

What is the RPF’S motive in so doing?

1)      The first intention is to cover up the role of RPF in slaughtering Rwandans be Hutu Tutsi or Twa from October 1st, 1990 until now.

2)      Let us remember the testimony of one of RPF’s members, Lt. Abdul Joshua Ruzibiza who repeatedly said that “whoever wants to understand how genocide was prepared and executed should not only look at the role of the then government, but should first look at RPF’s unimaginable killings because it is from RPF that INTERAHAMWE learnt how to torture and kill when the saw how RPF had treated Hutu from Byumba and Ruhengeri”.

It is noteworthy that: the main problem that hinders the true justice in Rwanda, is that the only killers who are held responsible for their crimes are from the Hutu tribe alone, while Tutsi who lead the RPF remain untouchable despite their eminent role in Rwanda’s tragedy. And worse again, the RPF turns the judge in the case it is supposed to be defendant. This contradicts the principle of natural justice that states that “No one shall be a judge in their own cause”  

Why did RPF spend all the 20 years as a judge in their own cause?

It was in the aim to protect the leaders of RPF so that they escape justice. In contrast, the RPF accuse Hutu of what is responsible of in order to create the Rwandan opinion (collective conscience) and more so in the youth’s mind, that Hutu is evil, a killer; while Tutsi is as innocent as a heavenly angel. This is the reason why during the commemoration, the RPF’s acolytes increase the zeal all over in the villages, beating, torturing, abusing and humiliating the Hutu; sending some in prisons  and killing others…In some regions of Rwanda numerous Hutu flee the country during the famous genocide commemoration  and go to Burundi, Tanzania or Uganda to return after. I was once in Gikongoro during that period and I was so shocked seeing how the people are terrorized. And that happens every year after year…Indeed, people can be accustomed of the evil as if it were the good.

Twenty years after, as if that is not enough, now they (RPF) have decided that the commemoration should start on January 7th! One can predict that very soon we will be told that the commemoration will start on January 1st to end on December 31st?!

2. What is the link between the commemoration in January 2014 and Karegeya’s death? 

This unusual commemoration of genocide against Tutsi alone is scheduled in January for a hidden reason. Paul Kagame should be blamed for something else, but can never do any mischief without cautioning the people. It should be recalled that in his speech at the end of year 2013, Kagame told his army that tough things are planned to take place in 2014, and as such, that they should be ready because the year will be very challenging. Before two days elapsed after the speech, Colonel Patrick Karegeya one of opponets of RPF regime was killed, strangled with  a rope and a towel, and so far investigations are indicating that Kagame’s death squad shall be answerable. But as we all know RPF, they commit crimes and they be the first to shiver fearing the consequences. They will definitely face consequences!

For example they know how trying to kill Kayumba Nyamwasa in South Africa created diplomatic tensions between  the two countries and they know how South Africa used to assist Rwanda in many ways. Let’s not forget that South Africa collaborated with Tanzania to send troops to form the UN intervention brigade in DRC and that these two countries are the ones that sabotaged Kagame’s expansionism dream when they destroyed the rebel movement self named M23, a movement of criminals created by Paul Kagame to serve his operations of unimaginable killings and plundering the Congo’s naturals resources.

It is understood that South Africa shall not keep quiet after the investigations will have revealed that killers came from Kigali to destabilise its territory and to kill Patrick Karegeya who was granted  a political refugee status. Kagame and his acolytes know well that this could have dangerous impacts but most of times they think when it is too late.It is ignomnious.

The January’s commemoration as a trench

In order to take cover from the consequences of their terrorist action they have just done in South Africa as well as other terrible actions on agenda during this year of 2014, Kagame and his clique have tactically withdrawn into the trench of unusual commemoration of the genocide against Tutsi alone. Just as the Rwandan old saying goes that “you always keep in suspense the hand with which you killed the partridge”

The main intention is: 

  1. Kagame and his clique will hide behind tears, attract empathy, cry to death showing the world that they do not know how to kill, that only Hutu can kill, that Tutsi are always victims alone because they are the only ones who succumbed during the 1994 genocide; as such they hope that the world will have pity on them and stop charging them for Karegeya’s death while they are mourning theirs.

They have planned that if South Africa shows carelessness and goes ahead to charge them for Karegeya’s death, they will make a case that South Africa is trivializing the genocide against Tutsi of 1994.

  1. Kagame is intending to distract the high ranks in his army so that they do not get time to think about the death of their colleague; while some of them are at the eve of their decapitation as well. In fact, if Kagame does not finish all of them, they could take a time to organize and see what they can do to avoid experiencing Karegeya’s fate.
  2. The intention is to distract Rwandans so that they do not get time to follow up news to know that RPF regime keeps operating like a terrorist movement that kills  Rwandans in their country and follow them up to murder them no matter where they take refuge.

Conclusion:

Kagame has declared that this year of 2014 will be very tough and any time he gives such a message to his army, it is an indication that they should be ready for other wars. It is being rumored that during these months of unusual genocide commemoration, Kagame has planned to kill so many people who oppose his dictatorship, amongst them are cited President Mrisho Kikwete of Tanzania, President Joseph Kabila of DRC and President Peter Nkurunziza of Burundi.

Therefore, no more explanation can be attributed to this unusual genocide commemoration than a trench warfare chosen by Kagame in order to execute terrorism acts and killings.

Opponents of Kagame should be warned, this year of 2014 will not be an easy one, but they should remain determined and resolved and put more energy into joining efforts so that the RPF’s true nature be exposed as it is: A terrorist group that deserves to be listed as such, to be fought by the world, to be dissolved so that Rwandans and their neighbors can breathe.

 Happy new year to all of you who want positive changes

Gahunda ya “Ndi Umunyarwanda” ntivugwa kimwe n’Abayobozi

Abayobozi bari mu mwiherero wa “Ndi Umunyarwanda”

Hashize igihe gahunda yiswe “Ndi umunyarwanda” ariyo igezweho mu Rwanda. Mu by’ukuri iyo wumvise ibyayo, ugira ngo koko u Rwanda rugiye kuba paradizo: aho abantu bagirirana impuhwe uwahemukiwe agahumurizwa, uwahemutse agaca bugufi, ngo kuko twese duhujwe n’isano ikomeye y’ubunyarwanda. Perfect.

Uko byagenda kose iyi gahunda iyaba yakorwaga kandi ikareba ibice byose bigize umuryango nyarwanda nta kabuza ko yagira akamaro cyangwa se igatanga umusanzu mu kwimakaza ubwiyunge. Ikibazo cy’iyi gahunda ni uko igaragara nka politiki kurusha ibindi byose. Nanone iyo urebye uburyo bamwe mu bayobozi bahagurukiye kuyishyira mu bikorwa wibaza niba koko bose bayumva kimwe.

Imwe mu nteruro za “Ndi umunyarwanda” iragira iti: Twemera ko jenoside yakorewe batutsi yakozwe mu izina ry’Abahutu bityo abo yakozwe mu izina ryabo bakaba bagomba gusaba imbabazi abayikorewe“. Ibi bikaba bivuze ngo Abahutu bagomba gusaba imbabazi Abatutsi, ariko ikibazo kikaba ingorabahizi iyo wibajije ikizakurikiraho. Ese nyuma yo gusaba imbabazi bizagenda bite? Ubutabera se buzakora akazi kabwo cyangwa usabye imbabazi ibyaha bye bihita bimera nk’urubura ku zuba? Ese abari mu nkiko bakiburana ubu baramutse bayobotse iyi gahunda nabo bahita bakirwa mu muryango nyarwanda bakitoza kubana n’ababashinjaga?

Kuba ibi bibazo nta bisubizo iyi gahunda yabiteganyirije bigaragaza ko itizweho birambuye n’ubwo bwose ngo yaganiriweho mu myiherero itandukanye.

Ku byerekeye abayobozi bavuga ko bayishyira mu bikorwa, na bo usanga batabikora kimwe. Senateri Makuza Anastase ngo arasaba imbabazi Abanyarwanda ngo kubera ibyo se yaba yarirengagije gukora (omission). Nyamara mu ijambo madame Jeannette Kagame nawe wagaragaje ko ashyigikiye iyi gahunda yavuze ku itariki 30 Kamena 2013, yibukije ko icyaha ari gatozi kandi ko buri vi rizipfukamira. Ugahita ubona ko harimo ukunyuranya mu mudiho no mu mashyi na Makuza.

Murekezi Anastase we yasabye imbabazi ku ibaruwa y’irondakoko yanditse mu mwaka wa 1973 aho we na bagenzi be basabaga ko Abatutsi batahabwa imyanya mu mashuri ndetse bakabangamirwa  mu bucuruzi. Murekezi iki cyaha yakoze nticyoroshye. Cyakora biragaragara ko kubwa FPR nta cyaha kirimo. Muti kuki?

Mwese muzi gahunda yabayeho mu Rwanda yitwaga iringaniza yatangaga imyanya mu mashuri no mu kazi hagendewe ku  ijanisha ry’Abahutu n’Abatutsi. Muri iyo gahunda niba Abatutsi bari 15 %, bagombaga guhabwa imyanya ingana n’uwo mubare mu mashuri no mu kazi, Abatwa bangana na 1% bagahabwa uwo mubare n’Abahutu bagahabwa ibingana n’ijanisha ryabo. N’ubwo bwose iyi gahunda FPR yayirwanyije, ariko umwe mu bayishyize mu bikorwa mu gihe yari minisitiri w’amashuri abanza n’ayisumbuye Colonel Nsekarije Aloys yabanye na FPR Inkotanyi nk’uko ifi yibera mu mazi kugeza aho yitabye Imana nta we umutunze urutoki. Ibi rero bigaragaza ko Murekezi nawe nta kibazo akwiye kugira keretse niba we ari insina ngufiya icibwaho urukoma cyangwa se akaba yazira ko atari Colonel!

Bwana Rucagu Boniface na we aherutse gutangariza ikinyamakuru Igihe.com ko we atazasaba imbabazi mu izina ry’Abahutu! Nyamara kandi ngo ibi azabikora mu kubahiriza Ndi umunyarwanda kandi ivuga nyine ko “abo yakozwe mu izina ryabo bakaba bagomba gusaba imbabazi abayikorewe”. Niko se namwe ni mumbwire izi mvugo zinyuranya ziratuganisha he?

Rucagu cyakora we biragaraga ko ari umubingwa: arashaka kwirega icyaha kitari cyo kugira ngo n’amateka atazabimubaza. Rucagu yaguze imigabane muri Radio RTLM. Nk’umuntu wari ushoye ashaka inyungu nta cyaha kibuza kubikora bimuha kuba umwere. Kuba rero RTLM yaraje gukora amakosa nyamara Rucagu akaba atari we wari ushinzwe management ndetse akaba atari editor wa gahunda zicaho ibi nabyo bimugira umwere kuko icyo yari akurikiye ari inyungu z’ifaranga zituruka ku gishoro yashyizemo. Ibyaha bijyanye n’ibiganiro byakozwe na RTLM byabazwa abari bashinzwe izo gahunda.

Dore ahubwo icyahama Rucagu: Niba ibiganiro yarabyumvaga kandi agasanga bifutamye akinumira iki cyaba icyaha kuko byagorana kwerekana ko we atabishyigikiye. Ibi ariko nabyo byajyana n’amasezerano  arebana n’umugabane we. Akenshi umuntu ufite umugabane mutoya mu isosiyete runaka nta jambo aba afite. Rucagu rero azasabe imbabazi ko we nk’umuntu wari ufite imigabane muri RTLM atigeze acyaha uwari ushinzwe ibiganiro cyangwa se ngo asabe kuvanamo imigabane ye, ntazasabe imbabazi z’uko yagize ibyago agashora imari hanyuma ikaza gukoreshwa mu buryo busenya igihugu nk’uko abyivugira. Ibi nabirangiza kandi bazarebe niba ba Ruggiu n’abandi bakoraga kuri RTLM ntacyo baba bahuriyeho.

Niba dushaka kubaka ubunyarwanda rero si no kubwubaka ahubwo ni ukubusigasira, nihabeho bya biganiro abari mu mashyaka atavuga rumwe na Leta akunze gusaba maze twemeze aho duhera tuganira ku mateka, twatangira muri 1948, 1900 se cyangwa 1990 maze ntihagire ukuri duca ku ruhande.

Ubwo ibi bisa n’ibidashishikaje FPR rero, bizatuma Umuhutu agaragazwa nk’umwicanyi kabombo naho umututsi akaba Umumalayika wo mu ijuru kandi nyamara ku mpande zose hari ababi n’abeza.

Ni shitani yateye igihugu cyacu aliko Imana yacu irabibona kandi niyo mucamanza mukuru.

Abana ba Karegeya mubagize imfubyi,umugore we mumugize umupfakazi,ababyeyi be murabahekuye none mugiye kwicara mu rugwiro mubyine insinzi.

Ntabwo ndi umuhanuzi, aliko amaraso arasama.
Mu minsi mike mugiye kubyishyura, ndetse mwe nta numwe uzabalilira.
Amahano mwateje igihugu muzajyana nayo, Imana igiye kubabaza byinshi.

Nge wandika iyi nkuru nzi kuba imfubyi uko bimera, nzi gupfakara uko bimera, nzi gupfusha imfura uko bimera.

Wowe wambura abandi ubuzima ugiye kubibona, kuko wajyaga ugirango ni imikino.

Ese ko ufite byose wabuze iki kugirango wishime?
Karegeya arapfuye aliko ntabwo aliwo muti w’ibibazo ufite ahubwo urabyongereye.
Uzabe umugabo witegure inkurikizi y’ubugome.

Ubaye ruhinyuza Imana kuko Imana Irema ukica.
Ubu ugeze hagati y’imisozi ibili aliko urarye uli menge umunsi yakubonye izatenguka muhulire mu kabande.

Banyarwanda,dusenyere umugozi umwe,tuli abavandimwe kandi Imana igiye kudutabara. Ntimucike intege ahubwo Mwiragize Yesu.

Nongeye kwihanganisha umuryango wa Patrick Karegeya.

“Be warned in 2014 we will face many challenges…I want you to stay disciplined, we shall win” President Kagame

Paul Kagame in front of ranks

While other numerous leaders have wished the best to their constituencies, President Kagame seems to have a different vision.

In his message to the army and police, Kagame has warned his forces to stay standby because 2014 will bring so many challenges, but he relies on their discipline and determination in order to win.

Many people are wondering what this man is planning or what kind of information he has that makes him prophetize the doom. The message does nothing but scare more the people of Rwanda who since years have been fleeing the country because the danger seems unavoidable as long as Kagame’s regime remains.

Kagame who is well know for his warlike spirit, never says anything without pursuing it. In 1995, he said he was going to attack Hutu refugee camps in Congo, one year after so many refugees were killed in camps supposedly to be under protection of the UN high Commission for Refugees. It was the first open attack against civilian population in history but the UN remained dumb. Even the so called international human rights groups did very little to condemn such atrocities. Afterwards, Kagame cried tears in front of the national assembly regretting that he was not able to exterminate the Hutu refugees.

In 2010 after the foundation of Rwanda National Congress, an opposition created and led by four main former allies of Kagame’s, namely General Kayumba Nyamwasa, Colonel Patrick Karegeya (RIP), Major Dr Theogene Rudasingwa, and Dr Gerald Gahima, Kagame pledged to kill them. Yesterday Col Karegeya was found in Michelangelo Towers Hotel in Johannesbourg, fulfilling Kagame’s promise. Other opponents to Kagame live in extreme caution asking countries that granted them hospitality to stay watchful since the strong man of Kigali has no jokes. General Kayumba Nyamwasa survived two assassination attempts in South Africa cases in which the police has found eminent involvement of Rwandan intelligence operatives.

As the man said, let us stay standby.
