Uncle Bob is gone: Requiescat In Pace!

Robert Gabriel MUGABE (21/02/1924 – 06/09/2019) Zimbabwean Statesman.

We are on one evening of august 2008 a few months I set feet in what would definitely be my second motherland, Guyana. I am sitting in a hangout spot somewhere in Mahaicony, I am enjoying my favourite caribbean beer, Carib; by my right side is an educated man, an agronomist and veterinarian who turned into local entrepreneurship, Mr Sealey. On my left sitting is a friend of mine, Mr Clinton, who just came from his military detachment. Mr Sealey brings up a discussion topic on leadership in Africa. From his point of view, Africa is entirely corrupt at level where some descendants of slaves would be proud to be brought into the Caribbean. For example, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, “a dictator who made his country’s economy collapse”.

For sometimes I had appreciated discussions with Mr Sealey and found him highly informed on almost any topic of public interest, locally, regionally and internationally. The topic about Robert MUGABE of Zimbabwe made my first discovery. In fact Mr Sealey was dead wrong, or should I say, had been misinformed, or ill-informed, or both. Today, 11 years after, I am sure Mugabe is gone still believed to be the worst beast Africa has been unlucky to have. But why?

Our heroes, their cowards

The end of colonization in Africa was and still is an uneasy task. On one hand, the colonizers couldn’t imagine their way of life after losing what they had built for years, supremacy. On the other hand, Africans had been mentally worked up until they really believed they couldn’t make it out alone, without their former masters. It was the job of the leaders to forge the way forward and to initiate the masses toward that new way of thinking and acting. In many countries, independence was fought for before bringing the colonizers at the negotiation table. Such was the case of Zimbabwe. The former Rhodesia got independent in 1980, twenty years after most of central African countries! And that independence came as a result of blood and sweat of children of Zimbabwe who knew the worth of their nation. MUGABE was among them and came out as a winner. As to those who lost, they never accepted it. While Zimbabweans saw Mugabe as a hero, the former masters portrayed him as a coward.

Mugabe’s most radical approach to land reform cost him a lot. In fact, he realized that the majority of his people had no arable land for even their subsistence while the former masters had millions of acres for exploitation. For him, the independence meant much more than presidency and a government. For having redistributed lands among the ordinary Zimbabweans, Mugabe was called all kinds of names. A big debate has been engaged over whether Mugabe should or shouldn’t have carried out such a reform. Either way, Mugabe would remain the same, not necessarily whom you read in the western media and propaganda outlets, because who we call our heroes might seem their cowards. Mr Sealey agreed with me and another round was ordered.

Uncle Bob is gone. May his soul rest in peace.

Rwanda: “Dépasser Ligne la ligne rouge”: un programme macabre de Kagame

Leave a reply

« Ndakureka ukisararangaaa…wamara kurenga umurongo utukura ntumenya ikigukubise! Actually, Sendashonga was shot dead because he had crossed the red line! ».

Voilà ! J’apprends à l’instant la mort « inopinée » du grand frère de Cassien Ntamuhanga, sans doute victime d’une opération « collatérale » dont la vraie cible est l’autre, momentanément hors champ.

Vous savez, un des nombreux jeunes qui disent « kiffer » mes chroniques radiophoniques et mes billets épistolaires n’arrête pas de « me les casser » gentiment, convaincu que je suis fait pour écrire des livres (ça rêve encore à cet âge !).

Soit, pour le calmer, voici en primeur ce qui pourrait être le titre de cet hypothétique ouvrage : RWANDA-LA LIGNE ROUGE SANG. Et, ci-après, une première « bonne feuille »…

Je suis sincèrement peiné de devoir m’inscrire encore en faux contre Paul Kagame (alors que, paraît-il, il me graisse pour « dizinguer » de temps à autres son ennemi mortel Rukokoma !), mais c’est plus fort que moi : sa proposition « tu passes la ligne rouge et je te tue » est une arnaque psychologique inouïe, recyclée par tout criminel depuis que le monde est monde, soucieux à la fois de tromper sa mauvaise conscience et de se dédouaner face aux tiers. Il espère ainsi faire porter le chapeau à sa victime en la rendant responsable de son forfait à lui, mais qu’elle aurait provoqué !

La proposition appropriée est : « je dépasse la ligne rouge, et je te tue » ! Nuance de taille s’il en est, car jamais le futur tué ne dépassera « LA » ligne rouge, et pour cause : il n’en connaît pas l’existence, encore moins la localisation. C’est le bourreau, le tueur, le sanguinaire qui se charge de tout : cette ligne, qui prend un jour naissance dans sa cervelle de psychopathe, sous la forme d’un continuum de sang humain, c’est lui qui en conçoit le tracé et en dessine le contour. Il en définit les modalités gestionnaires (déplacements éventuels dans le temps et /ou dans l’espace), et décide tout seul de l’instant fatidique où il va l’enjamber pour commettre l’irréparable : tuer, assassiner, massacrer, génocider … !

Au Rwanda comme ailleurs, tous les conflits (amasinde) individuels, familiaux, communautaires ou nationaux sont susceptibles d’être aplanis…tant qu’il n’y a pas encore mort d’homme ! Mais ici plus que dans maintes autres sociétés, dans cette culture qui valorise le « guhora » plus encore que la botte italienne valorise la « vendetta », celui qui franchit la ligne rouge et signe le geste ultime et irréversible de tuer, écrit de facto, à l’encre rouge sang indélébile, ce mot effrayant : INZIGO !

Pendant que j’écris ces lignes, la « somalisation » annoncée du Rwanda est déjà en cours dans les forêts du Congo, avant (qui sait ?) de passer la frontière : au moins quatre armées « rwandaises » sont occupées à se trucider mutuellement, sur les différentes lignes de fractures identitaires historiques qui traversent notre société, dans un chaos sanglant indescriptible.

C’est que Paul Kagame, s’il est un artiste en la matière, n’a pas inventé la roue : tout au long de notre histoire, des leaders irresponsables ont allègrement franchi des lignes rouges pour perpétrer des crimes de masse, inaugurant au passage des « Inzigo » collectifs entre les différents groupes prétendument communautaires que compte la société rwandaise.

Le Mwega Kabare a « tikizé » les Banyiginya, du verbe « gutikiza ». Le Hutu Kayibanda a massacré les Tutsi. Le Mukiga Habyarimana a « pogrommé » une cinquantaine de leaders historiques Banyanduga. Le Hutu Sindikubwabo a « génocidé » les Tutsi, pendant que le Tutsi Kagame « punguzait » les Hutu, du verbe swahili « kupunguza ». Paul Kagame continue, depuis, à « gafuner » indistinctement Hutu et Tutsi, du verbe « gukubita agafuni muri nyiramivumbi » ! Résultat : nul ne sait s’il est déjà né l’homme providentiel, le « Mandela rwandais » au charisme divin qui aura assez de magnétisme pour siffler la fin de cette récréation macabre et imposer (enfin) un État-Nation.

Paul Kagame akomeje iterabwoba ku banyarwanda bamuhunze !

Kuri uyu wa 18 kamena 2019, abanyarwanda batagira ingano bahuriye i Bruxelles mu Bubiligi
Kwamagana umunyagitugu Paul Kagame wari witabiriye inama ya EUROPEAN DEVELOPMENT DAYS(EDD) yateranye ku nshuro yayo ya 13.
Insanganyamatsiko y’iyi nama iragira iti “Addressing inequalities, building a world which leaves no one behind” ngenekereje mu Kinyarwanda “kurwanya ubusumbane, kubaka isi itagira uwo isiga inyuma”
Iyi nsanganyamatsiko yatumye nibaza icyo Umunyagitugu Paul Kagame aba aje gusangiza abandi mu gihe mu Rwanda harangwa ubusumbane mu mfuruka zose z’igihugu; muri serivise no mu buzima bwa buri munsi ! si icyo gusa kandi PAUL KAGAME icyo Arusha abandi nuko agerekaho gukenesha rubanda; kuburabuza; kwica umuntu wese ugerageje kugaragaza ko mu Rwanda ubusumbane bwahawe intebe!
Ni muri urwo rwego abanyarwanda baturutse imihanda yose y’isi, bakitabira imyigaragambyo bamaganira kure kandi bagaragariza amahanga uburyo umunyagitugu Paul Kagame adasiba kugarika ingogo haba mu Rwanda ndetse no hanze yarwo.
Intero y’abitabiriye imyigaragambyo yagiraga iti:”Paul Kagame umwicanyi, yishe Rwisereka, yica Anselme Mutuyimana, yica abanyarwanda, yica abanyekongo, yica abanyamulenge, yica abafaransa, yica ababiligi,……….Paul Kagame agomba gufatwa akajyanwa i La Haye” ayo niyo mashyi n’impundu yakirijwe umukuru w’igihugu cy’u Rwanda.
Igihe imyigaragambyo yari irimbanyije, intore za Kagame zibasiye imodoka za bamwe mu bari bitabiriye imyigaragambyo zizimena ibirahure! Izi modoka zari ziparitse kure gato y’ahaberaga imyigaragambyo.

Abigaragambya bakimara kubona ibyabaye bitabaje Police dore ko yari ibacungiye umutekano! Police yahise itangira iperereza kuko izo ntore zitahise zifatwa.
Abanyapolitike ndetse n’abahagarariye imiryango ya société civile bari aho, bavuzeko bagiyegukora rapport y’ibyabaye maze bagahamagarira abanyarwanda n’abanyamahanga cyane cyane abatuye i Bulayi mu myigaragambyo karundura yamagana iterabwoba umunyagitugu Paul Kagame akomeje gukorera abanyarwanda, haba mu Rwanda ndetse no hanze yarwo.
Mu ijambo ryo gusoza imyigaragambyo , umuhuzabikorwa wa société civile (CLIIR) Joseph Matata, yabwiye abitabiriye imyigaragambyo ati:”Kagame mwaramuhagurukiye, ntabwo ari igiparu aravaho! Indi nkuru nziza nuko intore ze yazitoje kwicana, twebwe twabatoje kuba libre no kwerekena uburenganzira bwanyu no gutinyuka. Muri abagabo!” Akomeza agira ati “umudigitateri yigiza nkana kuberako aba abona abantu bamwihoreye, ariko iyo bamuhagurukiye!!! Umudigitateri afite utuboko tubiri, akagira utuguru tubiri, akagira agatwe kamwe, akagira amatwi abiri, akagira umunwa umwe, akagira amaso abiri, ni nk’umuturage uwo ariwe wese! Ni ukuvuga ko imbaraga umudigitateri afite nimwe muzimutiza, muzimwambuye yakwirukanka akamera nk’inkoko ikwamiye mu nkike! Ubwo rero murabyumva ni ahanyu, mumwambure amaboko ahasigaye ak’umwicanyi kazaba gashobotse!”
“Kurwanya ubusumbane, kubaka isi itagira uwo isiga inyuma” bigomba guhera mu Rwanda , umunyagitugu Paul Kagame nta mwanya akwiye mu ruhando mpuzamahanga!

Rwanda:umunyagitugu (Paul Kagame) ashobora guhindanya ate imitekerereze y’umunyabwenge (Jean Damascène Bizimana)?

Uhereye ibumoso: Dr Jean Damascène Bizimana, Bwana Paul Kagame na Madamu Jeannette Kagame.

Dimitri LUKIC-GONFRIER wabaye inshuti ya Jean Damascène Bizimana yamwandikiye kuwa 31/04/2019. Dore ibyo Dimitri Lukic Gonfrier, ukomoka mu gihugu cya Serbiya, yandikiye Jean Damascène Bizimana biganye i Toulouse mu Bufaransa:

Muvandimwe Jean Damascène Bizimana, Umunyamabanga mukuru wa CNLG,

Mbanje kukuramutsa mbikuye ku mutima!

Nategereje igisubizo ku ibarwa nakwandikiye igihe mwiteguraga kwibuka ku nshuro ya 25, ariko ndaheba. Byanteye kwibaza, ariko ntibyantangaje kubera ahantu n’ibihe (environnement) ukoreramo muri iki gihe. Ndizera ko iyo uguma mu Bufaransa wari gukomeza kuba wawundi namenye ku ntebe y’ishuri. Mbere yo kukwandikira nabanje gushidikanya no kwibaza ibibazo byinshi, ariko nyuma niyemeje kukubwira ibyo mbona bidasobanutse kuri wowe. Wowe munyabwenge twasangiye ubumenyi bwo mu ishuri, tukigishwa gushyira mu gaciro, gusesengura, gushishoza no kutabogama; wowe Munyarwanda washenguwe n’agahinda ko kubura abawe, inshuti zawe z’Abatutsi, ariko cyane abo mu muryango wawe w’Abahutu, bishoboka bite ko wagera aho kwibagirwa iby’ingenzi amategeko ashingiyeho?

Namenye bimwe mu byaranze amateka y’igihugu cy’u Rwanda, mbikesha wowe. Wadusobanuriye amahano yagwiriye u Rwanda igihe wakoraga ubushakashatsi utegura impamyabushobozi y’ikirenga mu by’amategeko mpuzamahanga, uyobowe na Mwalimu Jean Marie Crouzier.

Nshuti yanjye, uribuka, igihe wandikaga igitabo cyawe muri 2004, aya magambo y’ingirakamaro kandi yuzuye ubushishozi wanditsemo, wagize uti: “Byongeye, kubera ibyemezo byafashwe mu manza, Urukiko Mpuzamahanga rwashyiriweho u Rwanda rw’Arusha rukora akazi k’ingirakamaro mu bijyanye n’amahoro n’umutekano mu rwego mpuzamahanga. Ariko uru rukiko rwahuye n’ingorane mu nzego zarwo no gufata ibyemezo bibangamiye inyungu z’ubutabera.”

Mu byakemanzwe, watubwiye ko wababajwe, kandi nibyo, nuko ruriya rukiko rutaciriye imanza Abatutsi bo muri FPR batsembye Abahutu, ndetse rukananga gukora iperereza ku ihanurwa ry’indege yari itwaye Perezida Habyarimana, ihanurwa ryategetswe na Perezida Kagame.

Mbese hagati aho byakungendecyeye bite mumyumvire yawe? Mbere wagayaga abanyabwenge b’Abanyafrika bize i Burayi na Amerika ariko nyuma ntishobore gukoresha ubumenyi n’ubumenyi-ngiro bize ngo bateze imbere ibihugu byabo; none ubu urakora kimwe nabo, ndetse urakora bibi kurushaho kuko watatiye amategeko ukora ibinyuranije nayo!

Reka twigarukire ka mateka yawe yakuranze.

Wabaye imfubyi ukiri muto cyane. Igihe wabitubwiraga, byagaragaraga ko uvugisha ukuri n’agahinda kenshi; natwe byaratubabaje cyane kugeza naho kurira. Ntabwo nzi niba uri Umuhutu cyangwa Umututsi, ariko ndibuka ko warezwe mu muryango w’Abahutu. Kwibuka ibi ningombwa. Wonkejwe n’umubyeyi w’Umuhutukazi. Uwo muryango utagereranwa warakureze, wakujyanye mu ishuri, urakubaka ukugira icyo uri cyo ubungubu. Ndizera ko wawurwanyeho, ukawurinda urwango n’umujinya w’abahezanguni b’Abatutsi.

Nyuma wakomeje kubana n’inshuti zawe z’Abahutu. Watubwiraga uwitwa Alexis Twagirayezu, icyo gihe wari Umuyobozi mukuru muri Minisiteri y’Igenamigambi ndetse n’umuyoboke w’Ishyaka rya Habyarimana. Usibye no kuba inshuti yawe, Alexis Twagirayezu yaje no kuba muramu wawe. Ubwo rero warongoye Umuhutukazi, kandi sobukwe Twagirayezu, wari umwe mu bayoboke b’imena ba MDR Parmehutu, yarafatanije n’abandi mu kuvana Abatutsi ku ngoma no kubirukana mu gihugu. Kuri wowe, byarumvikanaga icyo gihe ko Abahutu bigobotora ingoma y’igitugu y’ubwami bw’Abatutsi. Ndibuka akababaro kawe igihe wamenyaga ko Alexis Twagirayezu yari yishwe kuri 06/04/1994, nyuma y’ihanurwa ry’indege ya Perezida. Nyuma yaho watubwiye ko uzi uwamwishe, ariwe Karenzi Karake, wayoboraga Batayo ya FPR yari ifite ikicaro cyayo muri Hoteli Méridien! Wabwiraga umuhisi n’umugenzi ko uzamuhorera. Waba ubigeze hehe?

Igihe watuganirizaga ibijyanye n’intambara mu gihugu cyawe, watubwiraga ko hari Abahutu b’imfura n’Abahutu b’abicanyi, harimo abaciriwe imanza. Ntabwo wiyumvishaga ukuntu ubutabera mpuzamahanga bwafunze amaso ku bicanyi ba FPR b’Abatutsi. Kuri ubu bwicanyi, igihugu cyanjye cya Serbiya cyatangwagaho urugero. Muri iki gihe nagize ubwoba budasanzwe menye ko abo bicanyi bakugize umwe mu babo, ko ubakorera. Urabona ibi bitababaje ku muntu waminuje?Bishoboka bite ko umunyabwenge nkawe yatwarwa n’amafaranga n’ubutegetsi witaga ubw’abicanyi wamaganaga kubera ubuhezanguni bwabwo? Uzi neza nkanjye ko igihe kidasibanganya icyaha, cyane ikibasiye inyokomuntu!

Nshuti yanjye, ntabwo tuzibagirwa ukuntu wemeraga Perezida Pasteur Bizimungu w’Umuhutu kubera ubutwari bwe, urugamba rwo kubanisha Abahutu n’Abatutsi. Icyo gihe wamaganaga Paul Kagame n’ingengabitekerezo ye yo kwigira igitambo (victimaire) no kwihorera asagarira Abahutu yari yaragize abaturage bo mu rwego rwo hasi (seconde zone)!Kugeza magingo aya kandi Kagame ntarahindura politiki ye na gato! Ariko wowe wiyibagije ibyo wemeraga!

Muri ibi bihe, namenye ko Perezida wawe Pasteur Bizimungu washimagizaga yahagaritswe, Kagame akaba yaramwigijeyo. Wakoze iki? Watubwiraga kenshi abantu b’iwanyu i Gikongoro barimo inshuti zawe, nkaBernard Makuza wanengaga ubushobozi bwe buke, ariko akaba yari afite umwanya wo hejuru muri Politiki. Watubwiraga ko icyo yagenderagaho ari uko yari mubyara wa Perezida Kagame. Ibi bigaragaza icyenewabo wamaganaga wivuye inyuma igihe wigaga muri Kaminuza. Ubwenge bwawe wabukoresheje iki?

Mbese amakuru ki ya muramu wawe Norbert Muhaturukundo wari superefe igihe cy’ubutegetsi bw’Abahutu? Ndizera ko mutacanye umubano. Naho se bite bya bishywa bawe b’Abahutu ko watubwiye ko wari ufite benshi? Bafata bate imihindukire yawe muri Politiki? Reka turangirize ku mibare. Numvise ko ukoresha imibare mu kugaragaza jenoside yakorewe Abatutsi. Ariko rero nk’umunyamategeko, biroroshye kwerekana ko iyo jenoside ntawayihakana. Yarabaye bidasubirwaho.

Mbese aho imikorere yawe ntiyaba ipfobya jenoside?Charles Maurice yavuze ko ibintu byose bikabije, birenze urugero bihinduka impfabusa. Mukomeje guhuzagurika mu mibare mukibagirwa ko ukuri kudahinduka. Numvise ko, muri 1991, mu gihugu cyawe imibare y’abaturage yari iteye itya: Abahutu bari 6.467.958 (91.1%), Abatutsi bari 596.387, naho Abatwa bo bari 35.499 (0.5%).

Namenye kandi ko Ibuka na CNLG ubereye Umunyamabanga Mukuru, babaruye mu rwego rw’igihugu, Abatutsi 1.685.784 bishwe kandi Abatutsi bose hamwe bari 596 387 dukurikije imibare y’umuryango udaharanira inyungu w’Abanyamerika USAID. Ese birashoboka ko hashobora kwicwa abarenze umubare w’abariho? Nsobanulira mucuti wanjye?

	*Abaturage babaruwe muri 1991*	*Abaturage bishwe muri 1994 (imibare yatanzwe na Leta)*	*Abaturage barokotse*	*Umubare w’abantu bishwe bashyinguwe mu nzibutso (CNLG et IBUKA)*
Abatutsi	596 387	800 000	400 000	1 685 784
Abahutu	6 467 958	0	0
Abatwa	35 499	0	0

Mfite utubazo tubiri nifuza ko unsobanulira:
1° Ushobora gusobanura ute ko iki kinyuranyo ari cyo :596 387 – 800 000 = 400 000?
2° Umuryango wawe CNLG, Ishyirahamwe IBUKA na Leta y’u Rwanda babaruye abantu 1 685 784 bishwe. Abo bishwe ni bande kuko wemeza ko Abahutu n’Abatwa batapfuye (nubwo binyuranije nibyo wemezaga mbere)?

Pierre DAC yaravuze ati: «Amategeko ahana ntavuga ko umuntu afite uburenganzira bwo gukora ibyaha». Muvandimwe, si ngombwa kukwibutsa ko mu bijyanye n’ibyaha byibasiye inyokomuntu, aho akababaro k’uwiciwe karenze ukwemera, birahagije kurega kugirango ukuri k’uwareze gutsinde, ariko ibyo akaba ari iby’igihe gito!

Nshuti yanjye Jean Damascène, nkwifurije urugendo rwiza; ukore uko ushoboye ntuzatwarwe n’inkubi y’umuyaga kandi ugarukire vuba amategeko-remezo .

Le Général Emmanuel Habyarimana en Suisse

Né au Katanga, en République démocratique du Congo, il est rentré au Rwanda avec ses parents alors qu’il n’avait que 11 ans. Il aime le Congo, jamais il ne se présente comme Congolais. Il est Rwandais. Hitler africain, Paul Kagamé le dictateur rwandais, qui élimine ses opposants y compris à l’étranger, tremble à la simple prononciation du nom du Général Emmanuel Habyarimamana. Au Rwanda, les Hutu sont bien plus nombreux que les Tutsi. Hutu modéré, a lui tout seul il représente ce que répugne le soudard Kagamé : l’intelligence et la connaissance des armes. L’exilé en Suisse est dangereux pour l’unité nationale rwandaise d’après Paul Kagamé, l’autocrate du pays des mille collines. Brillantissime, homme d’une grande acuité intellectuelle, le Général Emmanuel Habyarimana est victime comme la majorité des Hutus de la campagne de diabolisation orchestrée par l’ogre de Kigali, ami de Bill Clinton et qui a pour conseiller diplomatique: Tonny Blair, l’ancien Premier ministre Britannique. Tout Hutu est génocidaire, divisionniste et négationniste. Les Twa-pygmées-2% de la population-ont disparu du Rwanda dans l’indifférence totale de l’opinion internationale. Même si un nourrisson Hutu vient de naître pendant nous couchons ces lignes, alors qu’il n’a jamais connu le génocide rwandais de 1994, il est considéré comme un génocidaire, quelle aberration. “Je suis rentré à Kigali le 29 juillet 1994. Après trois mois de camp de réadaptation, j’ai été réintégré dans les rangs de l’Armée patriotique rwandaise, la branche armée du FPR. J’ai représenté l’armée à l’Assemblée nationale et réorganisé la justice et l’administration militaire. J’ai travaillé directement avec Kagame. Il m’exploitait mais je n’en souffrais pas car j’avais l’impression de participer à la stabilisation du pays. Secrétaire général, puis secrétaire d’Etat, je suis devenu ministre de la Défense lorsque Kagame a quitté ce poste pour devenir président. J’ai réorganisé le statut des militaires et me suis opposé à l’avancement que Kagame voulait donner à des Tutsi ougandais, des officiers de sa famille ou des proches qui avaient du sang sur les mains, comme Fred Ibingira nommé général de la Division Kiga-Kitarama alors qu’il a été condamné pour les massacres de Kibeho. C’est aujourd’hui le bras droit du président. Je me suis aussi opposé à la poursuite des tueries au Congo et me suis battu pour le respect des droits de l’homme, de l’Etat de droit et de la justice. Une loi qui introduisait le Forum des partis stipulait qu’un parti politique ne pouvait se réunir que sous les auspices du FPR. J’ai dit ouvertement que c’était le début du totalitarisme. Je me suis aussi opposé à la privatisation et à la vente à des proches de Kagame de plantations de thé”.

Le Général Emmanuel Habyarimana en Suisse

Il faut aller en Suisse, pour rencontrer le Général Emmanuel Habyarimana, qui n’est pas de la famille de Juvénal Habyarimana, l’ancien président de la République rwandaise de 1973 jusqu’à son décès dans un attentat en 1994, événement déclencheur du génocide des Rwandais-Tutsis et Hutus. “Lorsque j’étais réfugié à Kampala, ils m’ont même traité de génocidaire. Durant l’ancien régime du président Juvénal Habyarimana, avec lequel je n’ai aucun lien de parenté, j’ai été jeté en prison, le 27 octobre 1990. J’y suis resté une année pour intelligence avec l’ennemi, c’est-à-dire avec le FPR de Paul Kagame, actuel président du Rwanda, avant de passer devant un conseil de guerre qui m’a blanchi. Bien que je sois diplômé de l’Ecole royale militaire de Belgique, ils n’ont pas voulu me réintégrer dans l’armée. De fin 1991 à 1994, j’ai été directeur des sports. Quand la guerre génocidaire a éclaté en 1994, j’étais au nord-est du Rwanda, à Nyagatare, où plus de 20 000 fugitifs tutsi étaient regroupés. J’ai été réintégré dans l’armée alors même que Kigali envoyait des autobus de militants chargés de massacrer ces Tutsi. J’ai refoulé les tueurs et sauvé ces réfugiés, leur permettant de s’enfuir vers l’Ouganda voisin. Après diverses mésaventures, je me suis retrouvé à Kigeme où les massacres avaient déjà commencé. On a arrêté les tueries et protégé les fugitifs. Avec d’autres officiers, nous avons publié la Déclaration de Kigeme contre le génocide, mais aussi contre les massacres du FPR qui tuait depuis 1990 chaque fois qu’il passait quelque part. En juillet 1994, le gouvernement hutu a levé contre nous une expédition punitive. Nous avons été attaqués par la garde présidentielle et sauvés de justesse par les Français de l’opération «Turquoise».” Le 10 octobre 2018, le Procureur de la République près le Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris a requis un non-lieu pour les suspects mis en examen dans l’affaire de l’attentat, le 6 avril 1994, contre l’avion du Président rwandais Juvénal Habyarimana. L’attentat fut non pas la cause, mais l’élément déclencheur du génocide et d’autres crimes de masse. Suite à une plainte avec constitution de partie civile, une information judiciaire avait été ouverte le 27 mars 1998 contre X du chef d’assassinat en relation avec une entreprise terroriste. Durant les vingt ans qu’elle a duré, cette instruction a connu de nombreux rebondissements et, surtout, provoqué une grande hostilité de la part du régime rwandais envers la France. Le Rwanda est l’un des neuf pays voisins de la République démocratique du Congo. Le Rwanda de Paul Kagamé a commis des massacres de populations civiles et contribué au pillage des ressources de la RDC. “Un pays ne change d’adresse tous les quatre matins”. Le destin de la RDC est intrinsèquement lié avec ses neuf voisins, dont le Rwanda.

Doctorat de l’université de Lyon du Général Emmanuel Habyarimana

DEA de l’université de Genève du Général Emmanuel Habyarimana

Le Général Emmanuel Habyarimana est mentalement fort. Son passé vaut un roman. La fourberie du régime criminel de Paul Kagame n’est pas un petit détail de l’histoire. Les Hutus modérés se sont fait avoir par Kagamé : “Après s’être engagés dans la réconciliation nationale, les Hutus modérés disent avoir ouvert les yeux face aux coups portés contre de nombreux d’entre eux qui avaient opté pour le nouveau régime de Paul Kagame. Le premier ministre Twagiramungu a été écarté. Puis il y a eu l’assassinat à Nairobi de Seth Sendashonga, un Hutu également, l’un des fondateurs du FPR (l’organisation militaire de Kagame). Depuis, le général Habyarimana est réfugié en Suisse et, au Rwanda, la vengeance du régime est retombée sur ses proches. Le 1er avril 2003, un de ses amis, le général Augustin Ngirabatware, avait été arrêté et mis au secret. Damien Musayidizi, son secrétaire lorsqu’il était ministre de la Défense, a «disparu» le 3 avril. Augustin Cyiza, conseiller d’Habyarimana lorsqu’il était ministre de la Défense, militant des droits de l’homme reconnu au niveau international et vice-président de la Cour suprême, a été enlevé à Kigali le 23 avril 2003 et vraisemblablement assassiné. lutte depuis toujours pour la réconciliation. Sous Habyarimana, j’ai obtenu que des Tutsi soient réintégrés dans l’armée. J’ai fait de même pour des militaires hutu sous Kagame.”

Emmanuel Habyarimana “Des métamorphoses géopolitiques de l’Europe pour la paix perpétuelle

La complexité des relations entre les pays des Grands Lacs africains a toujours donné le tournis à plus d’un spécialiste. Avec ses 80 millions d’hectares de terres arables et son sous-sol riche en minerais et métaux précieux, la République démocratique du Congo a le potentiel pour devenir un acteur incontournable en Afrique subsaharienne. Malheureusement, notre pays ne s’est pas encore remis des deux guerres entre 1996 et 2002 qui ont généré un marasme politique, social, économique et humanitaire prolongé. Pour mieux piller ses ressources, des fausses rébellions soutenues par la soldatesque rwandaise et ougandaise font des incursions à l’Est de la République démocratique du Congo: elle massacre des populations civiles sans défense, pille, viol, vol…

Le Rwanda de Paul Kagamé est déclaré premier pays producteur du Coltan qui ne se trouve pas dans son sous sol. La communauté internationale regarde ailleurs. Un génocide non reconnu se vit au Congo: plus de 12 millions des morts, des déplacés et réfugiés dans leur propre pays, des viols des femmes utilisés comme arme de guerre-le Dr. Denis Mukwege, l’homme qui répare des femmes a obtenu le prix Nobel de la paix le 10 décembre 2018 à Oslo. Catapulté sur le trône du Congo pour mieux piller ses ressources, Hippolyte Kanambe Kazembere Mtwale Alias Joseph Kabila, proconsul de Paul Kagame au Congo-Kinshasa a régné 18 ans, sans que la justice n’ait rendu un arrêt sur Eddy Kapend et les présumés assassins de son père adoptif: M’zée Laurent-Désiré Kabila. L’élection du 30 décembre 2018 est gagnée par Martin Fayulu avec 62%. Le Président élu n’a pas l’imperium du pouvoir. Félix Tshilombo Bizimungu wa Kanambe, monsieur 16% a été proclamé président à l’issue d’un odieux deal avec Alias Kabila. Tshilombo est un pantin,marionnette, valet et vassal qui a signé un accord FCC-UDPS-CACH. Ce petit pseudo-président nommé qui est illégitime, cherche sa légitimité à l’extérieur du Congo. Et Alias Kabila qui a la majorité au parlement est encore le vrai président de la RDC. Nous avons une crise de légitimité post-électoral: la RDC a trois présidents de la République, Martin Fayulu le légitime, Félix Tshilombo le nommé et Alias Kabila, le président sortant non parti !

Le Rwanda voisin a aussi ses réalités. Les Rwandais ont approuvé à 98,13 % la révision de la constitution qui permettrait au dictateur Paul Kagamé de rester au pouvoir jusqu’en 2034. Comme dans d’autres systèmes « développementalistes », le régime dictatorial justifie les restrictions des libertés politiques et des médias par l’amélioration des conditions de vie. Le pays reste marqué par le génocide et les violences passées. Le Rwanda de Kagamé fait du recel des ressources de la République démocratique du Congo, sans que cela n’offusque la conscience de nombreux citoyens.

La région des Grands Lacs est à la croisée des chemins. Les récents processus électoraux ont fragilisé davantage les États et les sociétés. Les crises politiques nationales risquent d’ouvrir une nouvelle phase d’instabilité régionale, ce d’autant plus que les causes profondes des conflits armés et violences passés ne sont pas résolues. A cela s’ajoutent des problèmes majeurs, tels que la pauvreté, le manque de perspectives d’avenir pour la jeunesse, des services de base défaillants, le manque d’inclusion politique, couplé à des violations des droits de l’homme…

Malgré des soubresauts nos peuples dans les pays des Grands Lacs doivent entrevoir le vivre ensemble dans la paix, la démocratie et le respect des droits humains, cela nécessitera forcément de l’audace, de l’innovation, de l’inventivité, du pragmatisme et une réelle volonté politique de chaque pays.

(14) IHAME.org: N’iki kindi mwifuza kubwira abanyarwanda n’abarwanashyaka banyu bari busome iki kiganiro twagiranye?

Nadine Claire KASINGE: Narangiza nshimangira inzira y amahoro twahisemo nk uburyo bwonyine abanyarwanda dufite bwo gukemura ibibazo by ingutu bikomeje kumena amaraso y Abanyarwanda, arinako bizambya ejo hazaza h igihugu cyacu. Reka ndeke Martin Luther king abivuge neza kundusha :

‘’ Inzira y amahoro

n’ intwaro ifite ingufu karahabutaka kandi zitarenganya,

n’i ntwaro ikata ariko idakomeresta,

n’intwaro ihesha ishema uyikoresha,

n’ intwaro y ubugi buvura’’.

Murakoze

Nyuma y’iki kiganiro twagiranye n’Umuyobozi w’ishyaka Ishema twegereye Thomas Sankara Habyarimana tumubaza uburyo abona ishyaka Ishema n’umugambi w’iryo shyaka wo gutaha gukorera Politike mu Rwanda n’uko agira ati:

“Ishyaka Ishema iyabaga bakoreraga politiki iburayi cyangwa mu bihugu bindi byateye imbere, umuntu yabumva, kuko ubona ari abasore bafite gahunda.

Ukabona kandi ari ab’administrateurs bakeneye umu leader ufite ibintu bimurimo atari ugukurikiza gahunda yasomye mu bitabo.
Padiri ni umucivile butwi, uhanganye n’inyeshyamba butwi. Rero ntibavuga ururimi rumwe. Ishyaka Ishema arijyanye mu Rwanda yaba agiye gutesha umwanya ziriya nyeshyamba, zikirirwa zimukina imikino atigeze asoma no mubitabo, bagirango birinde kumufunga bidateza akavuyo. Bikazajya kurangira yarabaye nayubu.
Utazi inyeshyamba arazibarirwa.

Igihe kimwe afande Bagabo, yigeze gukurura ukuboko Lt Col Nzungize wo muri ex-far, wari muri wa mutwe wa GOM, umwe warushinzwe gucunga ibya ceasefire mu mpande zombi zarwanaga.

J’agis pour Déogratias MUSHAYIDI

Leave a reply

Déogratias Mushayidi, est emprisonné depuis 9 années, victime de l’oubli. À l’heure où le président Paul Kagame a gracié plus de 2 000 détenus, l’ACAT appelle les autorités rwandaises à faire un geste humanitaire et à libérer ce militant non-violent.

Le 19 / 02 / 2019Militer pour la paix

Déogratias Mushayidi a toujours milité de manière non-violente en faveur de la paix et la démocratie au Rwanda. Tutsi, il a perdu sa famille durant le génocide de 1994, où plus de 800 000 Tutsis ont été massacrés. M. Mushayidi était alors le représentant en Suisse du Front Patriotique Rwandais (FPR), la rébellion armée dont Paul Kagamé – aujourd’hui président de la République – était l’un des principaux leaders politiques. À la fin de la guerre, M. Mushayidi rejoint le secrétariat général du FPR au Rwanda. Constatant des exécutions extra-judiciaires commises en toute impunité par le FPR, il décide au bout de 6 mois de quitter son poste. Il entame alors une carrière de journaliste au Rwanda et critique ouvertement les dérives autoritaires du FPR.

Sous le poids des menaces, il s’exile en Belgique en 2000 et obtient le statut de réfugié. En Europe, il se mobilise pour rassembler Hutus et Tutsis en vue d’un changement politique pacifique au Rwanda. En novembre 2008, il fonde en Belgique, le parti Pacte de défense du peuple (PDP), dont il devient président.

L’année suivante, il rejoint le continent africain et tente de rassembler la diaspora rwandaise. Son voyage s’arrête en mars 2010 où il est arrêté en Tanzanie avec un visa périmé sur un faux passeport burundais. Il est transféré successivement au Burundi puis au Rwanda.

Un prisonnier oublié dans les geôles rwandaises

M. Mushayidi est condamné six mois plus tard, le 17 septembre 2010, à la prison à perpétuité par la Haute Cour de justice après avoir été reconnu coupable, au cours d’un procès expéditif sans témoin à charge, de « fausse déclaration pour l’obtention d’un passeport burundais, propagation de rumeurs incitant à la désobéissance civile et recrutement d’une armée pour agresser le pouvoir en place ». Il fait appel de ce procès politique. En février 2012, la Cour Suprême confirme sa peine.

Depuis, M. Mushayidi se comporte de manière exemplaire en prison. Sans famille au Rwanda (sa femme et ses deux enfants habitent au Canada), il reçoit peu de visite. La communauté internationale et la société civile l’ont oublié et ne plaident plus sa cause depuis que sa détention a été officialisée au Rwanda. Alors que l’opposante Victoire Ingabire, a été libérée le 15 septembre 2018 (en même temps que 2 140 autres détenus), M. Mushayidi reste désespérément emprisonné. Pourtant, il n’a jamais été violent et a toujours plaidé pour une nation rwandaise unie dans la paix. Ensemble, exigeons la libération de Déogratias Mushayidi.

Portrait of Paul Kagame – President of the Republic of Rwanda

Portrait KP

Paul Kagame is not just any other African dictator. He seems to hold the keys to modernity. He enjoys, or at least has long enjoyed, a positive aura on the international scene. He governs Rwanda, which was home to one of the most horrible nightmares known by Humanity in recent decades. Too equanimous a writer would not have been suitable to discuss such a personality, particularly in such a context. Gérard Prunier’s portrait reflects both the passion of a man who is sensitive to the dramas occurring in the area and the science of a great historian of Africa’s Great Lakes region.

Michel Duclos, Geopolitical Special Advisor, editor of this series

In the twilight of the 20th century, the Rwandan genocide of 1994 appears as the worrying token of a world that we hoped would end with the opening of another, one that would bring hope. The last century had been one of horror, but the recent fall of the “Evil Empire” seemed to symbolically close it. Yet Rwanda suddenly cast a gloomy light on this brand new optimism, which we tried to conceal with a poorly constructed historical parallel. In this small, obscure country, of which almost no one had ever heard, there had been an outbreak of “tropical Nazism”. Yet, among the two great terrors of the 20th century (Westerners never succeeded in conceiving universal history as anything other than exotic declinations of their own history, the only one that counts and marks the world’s true scansions), the two worst horrors had been Nazism and Stalinism. And here came the “filthy beast”, resurfacing in Africa and rekindling our worst memories.

The problem is that this historical parallel was not adequate. President Habyarimana was not very Hitlerian (and he had died at the time of the genocide). France was jumping up and down frantically to explain that no, this was not something it had ever wanted, and that, in any case, it hadn’t done anything. The United Nations, symbol of the post-1945 mantra “never again”, were indeed present in Rwanda, but hadn’t done anything either. Meanwhile, the African Union, i.e. the continent’s self-proclaimed conscience, was entrenched in a deafening silence. But fortunately, there was the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) – the good guys! – and their leader, who vaguely looked like some kind of warrior monk, Major Paul Kagame. What a relief. The tragedy had a hero, and the global public opinion welcomed him, finally relieved to find a savior in the midst of all this horror. But who was he really? Nobody knew. Not to mention that the general ignorance towards pre-genocide Rwanda was abyssal. The result was an unknown hero against a backdrop of African clichés.

Kagame very unconventional “military career” lasted 16 years and got him involved in some of the most extraordinary events of the century.

Paul Kagame was 36 years old at the time, and he was not really Rwandan. Having grown up in Uganda as the son of refugees since the age of four, he was a Major in the Ugandan army and a citizen of his host country. His trajectory was quite atypical for a refugee. Shortly after graduating from high school, he had joined the uprising guerrilla war in Uganda at the age of 20, as the Tanzanian army entered the country in 1978 to overthrow dictator Idi Amin Dada. His very unconventional “military career” lasted 16 years and got him involved in some of the most extraordinary events of the century.

He was profoundly shaped by this period of his life – his “Ugandan” life. Uganda in the 1970s and 1980s was a jungle dotted with corpses, where everyone betrayed everyone. The international community, which had rightly vilified Idi Amin, was walking away now that he had disappeared. It didn’t matter that dictator Milton Obote, elected in a rigged election approved by the British and Commonwealth authorities, killed more people than Idi Amin (more than 300,000 deaths between 1981 and 1986). What mattered was that, in the context of the Cold War, Obote was “a friend of the West”, even if he used North Korean artillery. In fact, this allowed Western powers to avoid getting their hands dirty in trying to keep the country together by their own means.

The West helped survivors to survive through international aid, and a division of labor that Kagame would later reproduce, first in Rwanda, and then in Congo. His contempt for the “international community”, his diplomatic cynicism and his humanitarian hypocrisy can be explained by his experience of the Ugandan civil wars between 1978 and 1986. So can his vision of the “hero”. Indeed, in January 1986, Kagame entered Kampala as a winner, alongside his leader Yoweri Museveni.That was before he saw this advocate of the extreme anti-colonialist left become, through a series of opportunist shifts, the perfect duplicate of what he had fought all his youth.

In 32 years, Museveni’s reformist power mutated into an authoritarian and corrupt State, and the former main opponent of the regime was the former head of the guerrilla’s medical services. Kagame reproduced exactly the same pattern, to the point that he now finds himself in conflict with an opposition composed by 80% of his former comrades in arms during the struggle of the 1990s (and not of ex-genocidaires as he suggests). First, of course, he served in the Ugandan regular army after the victory. Kagame, the chief’s loyal follower, became head of the army’s secret service. His profile was interesting to Museveni: Kagame was basically a foreigner, even after his years of war in Uganda. Some groups such as the Baganda or his own ethnic group, the Banyankole, constantly reminded him of this.

His contempt for the “international community”, his diplomatic cynicism and his humanitarian hypocrisy can be explained by his experience of the Ugandan civil wars between 1978 and 1986. So can his vision of the “hero”.

After all, there were only two “Rwandans” among the first 17 insurgents of 1981, the other being Fred Rwigyema, who became Chief of Staff of the Ugandan army. Two “foreigners” at the head of the country’s military establishment: what better way to prevent a coup? Kagame kept quiet, observed, learned. And he noticed the pursuit of the same humanitarian ambiguity that served Obote so well in his time. Amnesty International sent a mission to Uganda in order to criticize Museveni for his brutal treatment of imprisoned insurgents from northern ethnic groups, who supported Obote during the civil war and who continued to fight sporadically. The NGO called for the creation of a justice system able to deal with cases of detention of captives from the guerrillas. The President passed the problem on to Kagame, who was appointed President of the Armed Forces Itinerant Tribunal. He was perfect at the job, and the corpses resulting from the Tribunal’s convictions, which he brought back to Kampala, were always in excellent condition and showed no signs of abuse. The man is cold and merciless, but he is efficient and knows how to respect procedures.

In 1987, he began to extend his contacts within the Rwandan diaspora, who took advantage of his position in Uganda to set up a political military structure aiming to overthrow the Hutu regime in Kigali. However, anti-Rwandan pressure escalated in Uganda, where Museveni was forced to slowly marginalize an entire generation of refugees and their children who had supported his rise to power. After a brief hesitation, General Rwigyema, who, as a Ugandan, felt bitter and betrayed, switched sides and decided to join the RPF. For Kagame, this was a disaster: Rwigyema was very popular in the diaspora, while Kagame was not. Moreover, their two Rwandan affiliations were entirely antinomic: Rwigyema was the heir to the Banyingina royal family, while Kagame came from the Ababega clan, which overthrew and killed the King during the German colonial conquest in 1896.

The man is cold and merciless, but he is efficient and knows how to respect procedures.

A warm and friendly heir to the royal family versus the austere descendant of an usurping clan. The invasion of Rwanda that they were planning together was marked from the outset by personal and political ambiguity. Rwigyema was aware of the difficulty of having the Hutu majority accept a “liberation” led by the Tutsi minority. Even if the Habyarimana regime was a dictatorship, and even if its Hutu opponents were many. He relied on his charisma and his openness to the Hutus of the opposition to overcome the “feudal restoration” of which Habyarimana later spoke.

The RPF attacked Rwanda on 1 October 1990, and on 2 October, Fred Rwigyema, who had commanded the invasion forces, was killed by one of his own officers. The RPF will always deny the circumstances of this death, attributing it “to the fighting”. But apart from the fact that there was only one killed that day – the Commander-in-Chief – and that the given details of his death are contradictory, a worrying shadow hangs over the murder of the RPF leader. In fact, Museveni, who discreetly supported the invasion, also had Rwigyema’s two adjutants arrested and executed. Like many other episodes paving Paul Kagame’s road to power, this one will never be clarified. The war lasted four years, and burst into a genocide triggered by the assassination of President Habyarimana. The genocide was obviously planned by the most radical circles of Hutu power, but many accused Kagame of being the perpetrator of the attack. The most specific accusations came from former Tutsi members of the RPF, some of whom became active opponents of the Kagame regime. But the global impact of the genocide somewhat mesmerized the international community, which refused to think the unthinkable about the genocide’s liberator being an element of that same genocide. Yet, as Canadian General Dallaire, commander of the UN’s inactive forces, pointed out, the RPF leader did not seem overly moved by the passivity of the international community. Nor by the genocide itself. Dallaire, who was struggling with New York to get an order for intervention, felt more committed than the Rwandan. It actually seems like Kagame has never been too concerned about his fellow citizens. Among them, there were 80,000 Hutus, who were later “forgotten” in the commemorations of the genocide – which became known as “the genocide of the Tutsi”. As for the Tutsi deaths – between 700 and 800,000 – they seem to have been considered more as the “collateral damage” of the modernization process implemented later by the new post-genocidal power in Rwanda.

To realize this, one should have a conversation with members of Tutsi survivor associations, who are under no illusions regarding this issue. For Kagame, the genocide was a huge political opportunity, of which he managed to skillfully take advantage. He succeeded in exchanging a population of “indigenous” Tutsis, rooted in the complex and ambiguous Rwandan reality, for another population of diaspora Tutsi, much more educated, militarized and disciplined, who ended up being the ideal people for the RPF project.

Kagame had a plan for Rwanda. A plan similar to him: cold, efficient, entirely focused on technical success, not particular about the means employed. He managed to sell it to a relieved international public to whom he promised fundamental changes – an honest administration, security, urban cleanliness, improved transport and public health – as well as a few gadgets that always please Westerners, such as Internet access on buses or a ban on plastic bags.

Kagame, shrouded in the aura granted by his status as anti-genocidal hero, led the offensive and overthrew the old tyrant.

Protected by the genocidal shield, he knew he could practically do whatever he wanted. Moreover, he had always won in the past: escaping the fate of a stateless refugee to gain access to the highest levels of power in Uganda, taking control of the RPF, winning a second civil war in Rwanda by concealing his own violence thanks to the genocidal apocalypse, creating a government of “national unity” after the genocide, then abolishing it during a massacre committed by his own troops (Kibeho, 1995), and, finally, consolidating his absolute power thanks to election scores worthy of Stalin’s (95% in 2003, 93% in 2010 and 99% in 2017). He didn’t even need to cheat, everyone did actually vote for him. Fear was such that obedience became real. And the international community, trapped in its remorse and seduced by the progress he introduced, nodded along. He nonetheless did make a big mistake: invading Congo. It had all started so well: the surviving genocidaires, who had taken refuge just a few kilometres from the border, were constantly launching harassment raids on Rwanda, which were both unnecessary and deadly.

After two years of preparation, Kagame succeeded in gathering a coalition of African States, supported by the United States, which wanted to get rid of its old accomplice from the Cold War, Mobutu Sese Seko. Kagame, shrouded in the aura granted by his status as anti-genocidal hero, led the offensive and overthrew the old tyrant. This event was followed by President Clinton’s visit to Kigali, where the latter apologized for his country’s passive attitude during the genocide. The apology was justified, but the timing was not right. Kagame is steady-handed, but he is also extremely self-confident.

Encouraged by what he already saw as yet another success, a few months later, he took an unnecessary risk by attacking both some of his allies and the regime he had just succeeded to set up in Kinshasa. The war that ensued (1998-2002) shook the entire African continent and killed nearly three million people. At that moment, the “hero” had gone a little beyond his diplomatic comfort zone and had to leave the field. His failure even had unexpected side effects, as the international community finally dared to take a closer look at what the RPF had done since coming to power.

Kagame became President of the African Union in January 2018, which has allowed him to lecture his peers, for whom he only has limited respect.

When the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda was created, public opinion tried to do so but the Attorney General, the Canadian Louise Arbour, prohibited any investigation. It is only in June 2009 that the UN Mapping Report was published…on the Congo war! It did mention the “Rwandan army”, but only in a foreign perspective. Not a word about Rwanda itself, and thus of course nothing about its leader Paul Kagame.

Fascinated by Kagame’s heroic image, it seems like the international community hasn’t read this report, which is 500 pages long and highly documented, and continues to be indulgent towards the one Professor Filip Reyntjens from the University of Antwerp calls “the greatest war criminal in power today“. Kagame’s self-confidence was boosted by the disdain the international community displayed for the truth when, for example, the Paris Public Prosecutor requested a dismissal (13 October 2018) of the case against his associates who had been involved in the attack that cost Habyarimana his life.

Kagame became President of the African Union in January 2018, which has allowed him to lecture his peers, for whom he only has limited respect. The opposition had long been disciplined through robust methods. MP Léonard Hitimana and former President of the Court of Cassation Augustin Cyiza disappeared without trace. The Vice President of the Green Party (opposition) was found dead after being tortured. The journalist Jean-Léonard Rugambage, who was investigating the case of General Kayumba Nyamwasa, who had switched to the opposition, was killed in 2010 after Kayumba himself had been the target of two assassination attempts. Former Security Chief Patrick Karegeya was found strangled in a South African hotel room on 1 January 2014. Opposition journalist Charles Ingabire, a genocide survivor, was shot dead in the street in Kampala in November 2011. And so on and so forth.

Violence has even become “democratized” since 2016, with the summary executions of dozens of petty criminals (cow thieves, smugglers, fishermen using illegal nets…) killed by the army for no other reason than to frighten people in order to “keep order”. On her recent release, Victoire Ingabire, who had been sentenced to life imprisonment for daring to run in the elections against Kagame, said: “I hope this is the beginning of the opening of the Rwandan political sphere”. Unfortunately, this seems highly unlikely.

Kagame is an iron man. Yet even iron eventually rusts away. A few years ago, he faced all the challenges with a cool temper we could qualify as “British”, but that we call “itonde” in Kinyarwanda. When Colonel Tauzin declared, while defending Gikongoro, “that he would “give no quarter” if the RPF attacked and that an officer translated (Kagame did not understand the French expression “faire de quartier”) by saying: “it means that he will kill all the wounded”, he simply observed: “It is a little hostile, isn’t it?” Today, the same man is seen shouting at his bodyguards, slapping a secretary or trampling underfoot a Minister who crossed him. Many of his former comrades from 30 years ago have joined the opposition and live in exile. He and Museveni have hated each other since the Ugandan President investigated Rwigyema’s death and today, he helps a guerrilla group that has infiltrated the Nyungwe forest and entrenched itself there. Today, Paul Kagame is the master of Rwanda, the only African head of State who can speak as an equal with the world’s great leaders, and who can influence the decisions of most international tribunals. This involves a massive and solitary power, and absolute power is absolutely solitary.
