“Mu gatendo ngiye gukora, muzambere ba mudahunga” Kagame Paul

Mu ijambo yavuze amaze kwakira indahiro z’abayobozi bashya ba sena y’u Rwanda, Perezida Kagame yatunguye benshi bari basanzwe bamuziho amakare n’ubukaka. Mu ijwi ryuzuye ikiniga, umukuru w’igihugu yahamagariye abari bamaze kurahira kwirinda guharanira inyungu zabo bwite, ahubwo bagaharanira inyungu rusange z’u Rwanda n’abenegihugu. Avuye kuri ibi, yahise atandukira maze arihambura ( se défouler), agaragaza umujinya afitiye abanyamakuru ndetse n’ubuyobozi bw’ikigo cy’itangazamakuru cy’Ubwongereza BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) kubera sinema kimaze iminsi gihitishije igaragaza ubwicanyi Kagame yagizemo uruhare rukomeye, ndetse akaba ariwe watanze itegeko ryo kurasa indege ya Habyarimana.

Ubusanzwe ibyavuzwe muri iyo sinema nta gishya kirimo, kuko si ubwa mbere byari bishyizwe ahagaragara, kandi harimo n’amagambo Kagame we ubwe yivugiye abyemera. Ubusesenguzi buragaragaza ko igiteye ubwoba Kagame ari uko noneho Ubwongereza na bwo bwemeye ko Kagame ari umwicanyi. Ibi simbitindaho ahubwo mu ngingo enye(3) reka turebere hamwe uko Kagame yiteguye guhangana n’ikizakurikiraho nk’uko yabibwiye abamwumvaga. Izo ngingo ni izi:

Muzabe ba Mudahunga
Isi yose irimo akavuyo
Ndangije amagambo, ngiye gukora “agatendo”(real things).

Umuntu yitegereje izi ngingo yasanga zidakurikiranye neza, sinzi niba umukuru w’igihugu cyacu yarabigize nkana, ariko icy’ingenzi ni uko ubutumwa bwe yabuhitishije bwose uko bungana. Iyo aza kuba umuhanga mu kuvuga yashoboraga gutangira ati : “Ubwo basigaye bemera ko turi abicanyi…. kandi (1) isi yose ikaba irimo akavuyo (2)njye ndangije iby’amagambo ngiye gukora agatendo (3)kandi ndabasaba ngo muzambe hafi muzabe ba Mudahunga”. Uko bimeze kose reka tuzikurikiranye uko Kagame yabikoze, ni ukubaha uburenganzira bwe.

Muzabe ba Mudahunga

Ibi yabihereye aho yinubiraga ko ngo abahawe ijambo muri iriya sinema ari abantu bahunze igihugu. Avuga ko nta yindi nyungu yo guhunga uretse guhabwa ijambo kuri BBC. Aha Kagame arashaka kubeshya ko uhunze wese ahabwa ijambo kuri BBC cyangwa andi ma radiyo atandukanye, nyamara yamaze imyaka 30 mu buhungiro nta jambo yahawe. Yarinze gutegereza ko intambara y’Inkotanyi itangizwa kugira ngo ahabwe ijambo.

Kagame azi uko BBC yamukoreye publicité mu gihe na nyuma y’intambara, akaba rero ubu azi neza ko ubwo abandi nabo bahawe ijambo, we bishobora kumugwa nabi. Gusaba rero abamwumvaga kudahunga ni ukugira ngo na bo BBC itazabaha urubuga maze bakamushyira hanze. Ikindi arabashuka kugira ngo mu gihe atangije agatendo (yari atarakavuga) bazamugwe inyuma ngo barimo kurwanira inyungu z’u Rwanda.

Ariko na none Kagame si umuswa. Asaba aba bantu kudahunga ni uko yari azi icyo avuga. Aha reka twibukiranye ibintu bitera ubuhunzi twese tuzi. Umuntu uhunga ni uko aba abona ariho hasigaye amakiriro ye. Wahunga intambara cyangwa se umutekano mukeya, wahunga ubukene, ni uko aba ariyo chance usigaranye yo gukiza amagara yawe. Ibyo aribyo byose aba basenateri, abaministiri n’abadepite yabwiraga bose ama konti yabo aruzuye, nta bukene bafite. Ni ukuvuga ko ikindi bashobora guhunga ari intambara cyangwa se umutekano mukeya. Mu yandi magambo Kagame aratwereka ko igiye kuba intambara irimo gutegurwa akaba asaba aba bantu kuzamugwa inyuma.

Isi yose irimo akavuyo

Kagame avuga ko isi yose yuzuyemo ibibazo by’intambara z’iterabwoba n’ibindi bibazo. Byashoboka ko yaba ashaka kunyura mu rihumye amahanga arangariye ahandi maze agakora agatendo ke. Byakunze kugaragara ko iyo abantu barangaye Kagame ahita akora ikintu gikomeye. Muzakurikirane neza muzasanga buri gihe yagiye yohereza ingabo muri Congo amahanga yabaga ahugiye muri Burasirazuba bwo hagati mu bibazo bihahora. Kugira ngo asasire icyifuzo cye, aravuga ati iyo chaos iri ahantu hose ntibazavuga ko ari twe twayiteje. Ni nk’aho yavuze ati hano naho haramutse habaye chaos nta gitangaza cyaba kirimo. Aravuga rwose yeruye ko u Rwanda na rwo rugomba kubamo chaos. Uyu mugabo Imana imuturinde!

Ndangije amagambo, ngiye gukora “agatendo”

Ibi abivuze yabitekerejeho kuko amaze iminsi arunda ingabo ku mupaka w’u Burundi n’u Rwanda. Abinyujije mu binyamakuru bivugira leta kandi, yatangiye gushinja u Burundi ko mu gihe ingabo zabwo zavaga muri Congo zazamukanye na FDLR. Ibi bikaba aribyo aheraho ashaka kwishora mu ntambara kandi biragaragara ko ariyo izamuhitana cyane cyane ko nk’uko abyivugira imbaraga asigaranye ari nkeya.

Aha hanyibukije ya mvugo y’abakurambere igira iti “amagambo ashize ivuga”. Koko rero Kagame amagambo yamushiranye, ariko si n’amagambo gusa ahubwo n’ibitekerezo byashize. Arabigaragaza aho avuga ko ngo atumva ukuntu abantu bamufashije kubaka ikintu (jenoside) ari na bo baza kugisenya. Koko rero Abongereza ndetse na benshi mu bahoze muri FPR batanga ubuhamya, bubatse FPR ndetse bayitera inkunga nyuma ya genocide. Raporo za mbere zashinjaga FPR na Kagame ni Abongereza (bafatanyije n’Abanyamerika ) bahitaga bazisisibiranya bakoresheje iturufu ya genocide y’abatutsi nyamara bari bazi neza ko Kagame abifitemo uruhare.

Mu buhamya bwa Carla Del Ponte, yemeza ko yashatse gufata abantu bo muri FPR , Koffi Annan akamubwira ko ari politiki kandi ko bashakaga ko u Rwanda rubanza rukisana. Kuba Kagame atumva uyu mukino rero bishobora gutuma afata n’ibyemezo byo kumuhitana. Iyo ntambara se yo ashaka gushora, inganda zo mu Rwanda zikora amasasu angahe? Uwamufatira embargo ntiyongere kubona amasasu rahira ko igihuru kitabyara igihunyira!?

Umwanzuro:

Iyo witegereje uburyo u Rwanda ruyobowe, ukareba uko abaturage babayeho n’umujinya bamaze kugira, ukongera ukareba akazi gakomeye amashyaka atavuga rumwe na Kagame akomeje gukora, nta shiti uhita ubona ko ibintu bigiye guhinduka mu Rwanda. The wind of change is blowing. Perezida Kagame nk’umuntu ubikurikiranira hafi, nawe azi uko ikibazo kimeze. Abanyarwanda ndabasaba gukurikira kandi bakamenya gusoma ibimenyetso by’ibihe. Akenshi iyo ingoma itangiye kurindimuka biragaragara ariko kumenya igihe ihombokera (ku ngoma ntibavuga guhomboka bavuga kubyara) bikunze gutungurana.

Gusa ntidukwiye kugira ubwoba, kuko na Karinga bavugaga ko nisezererwa nta mubyeyi uzongera kubyara, inka zitazongera konsa, imvura itazongera kugwa, isake ntizizabika,…. Nyamara yasimbuwe n’ibendera U Rwanda rurushahp gutera imbere. Kagame ashoze intamabara, imuhitane wenyine, dukomeze twubake Igihugu. Ikiniga afite kiramucira amarenga. Ariko na none muzirikane ko n’ubwo karinga yagiye abantu bagahumeka, imvugo ngo Habyarimana navaho impundu zizavuga yo ntiyigeze isohora. Ni ukubyitondamo.

Iyi photo yahinduwe n’umuntu wemeza ko yabonekewe abona Kagame afatwa kubera ibyaha bya genocide aregwa.

Birakwiye gusesengura neza ijambo ridasanzwe Perezida Paul Kagame yavuze ejo taliki ya 14 Ukwakira 2014 ubwo yarahizaga mubyara we Bernard Makuza usimbuye Yohani Damaseni Ntawukuriryayo ku mwanya w’umuyobozi wa Sena.

Muri rusange, ryari ijambo rirerire cyane kuko ryamaze iminota 56 yose ! Ikintu cy’ingenzi cyariranze ni uko rya jwi ry’amakari Kagame asanganywe ryari ryaguyemo imbeho, ejo rwose ryari ribuzemo imbaraga ku buryo yavugaga nk’umuntu wongorera, nk’unaniwe cyane cyangwa se umurwayi usohotse ibitaro ! Izo ntege nke na we ubwe yaziyumvagamo kuko hari aho yivugiye ngo” N’ubwo umubiri wananirwa umutima wo ntunanirwa”. Gusa aha yaribeshye cyane kuko twese tuzi neza ko umutima utananirwa gusa ahubwo ugeze n’aho uhagarara burundu, iyo uruhijwe birenze imbaraga zawo . Aritondere uwe rero !

Maze gutega amatwi iri jambo nasanze mu by’ukuri ritari rijyanye neza n’ibirori byahimbazwaga ahubwo ryari rigenewe gufasha Kagame gusohora hanze (speaking out ) uruvangitarane rw’ ibyiyumviro by’ubwoba, uburakari n’agahinda, biremereye umutima we muri iyi minsi . Kandi impamvu y’uko kuremererwa Kagame yarayivuze ndetse ayitindaho cyane : ni Sinema yo mu bwoko bwa Documentaire yitwa “Rwanda: Untold story” yakozwe n’Abongeleza, yerekanwa incuro nyinshi kuri Televisiyo yabo yitwa BBC 2, irebwa n’amahanga menshi. None rero ikibazo ni iki : Icyababaje kandi kikarakaza Kagame bigeze aho ni iki mu by’ukuri ?

Muri iri sesengura turibanda ku ngingo ebyiri gusa: Ikibabaje Kagame(I) n’Icyo ateganya gukora (II).

I. “UBU NITWE BICANYI….”

Uwansaba kuvuga mu magambo atatu gusa ubutumwa bwose Kagame yatambukije mu ijambo rye ryamaze iminota 56, sinazuyaza, nasubira muri aya magambo ya Kagame: “UBU NITWE BICANYI….”. Mbega ukuntu yishimiraga kubyita abandi Banyarwanda harimo n’abarengana! None we bamuvuze uko ari, ngo Rusizi nticyambutswe!

Kagame arababaye

1.Icyababaje Kagame kurusha ibindi ni uko iriya sinema yerekana neza ko Abongereza batahwemye kumushyigikira kuva yatangira intambara zarimbuye Abanyarwanda batagira ingano bamaze kubona ko badashobora gukomeza kwibeshya no kubeshya isi mu gushyigikira umutegetsi bazi neza ko ari umwicanyi kabuhariwe !

2.Kagame ababajwe n’uko Abongereza bateye intambwe yo gutangira kumushinja ku mugaragaro ko ari we Nyirabayazana w’ibyago byagwiriye u Rwanda, ubwo yahanuraga indege y’uwahoze ari umukuru w’u Rwanda Yuvenali Habyarimana, mu ijoro ry’iya 6 rishyira iya 7 mata 1994, icyo gikorwa cy’iterabwoba kikaba ari cyo cyabaye imbarutso ya jenoside yarimbuye Abanyarwanda basaga miliyoni, Abatutsi n’Abahutu. Ndetse iyo Sinema yo ijya kure ikerekana ko mu by’ukuri gukomeza gushyira imbere Abatutsi bishwe bonyine birimo ikinyoma n’ubushinyaguzi kuko imibare itangwa n’u Rwanda ubwarwo igaragaza ko Abahutu bo mu Rwanda ari bo bagize umubare munini w’abarimbuwe bityo amateka y’u Rwanda akaba yirengagiza nkana kubavuga no kubibuka !

3. Kagame ababajwe n’uko amahanga aha ijambo (Freedom of speech) abantu we ngo abona nta gaciro na busa bafite (Completely discredited). Mu mutwe we yumvaga ari we (Le Maître de l’univers) ugena abantu bafite agaciro n’abatagafite, intungane n’abanyabyaha ! Ubwo bubasha kandi akaba yishukaga ko abufite ku Rwanda no ku bindi bihugu. Kandi ni mu gihe, mu myaka isaga 20 amahanga yakomeje kumufata bajeyi, none atangiye kwibonera ko ibihugu by’ibihangange birambiwe kandi byiyemeje kurambika hasi “politiki ya ciraha nikubite”yateteshaga umwicanyi ruharwa Paul Kagame.

4. Kagame ababajwe no gutahura bitinze ko nta rundi rukundo ba Mpatsibihugu bari bamufitiye, ko yagizwe igikoresho cy’inyugu zabo gusa , ko mu by’ukuri we nta kandi GACIRO bamuhaga katari ako kubabera igikoresho, bityo babona amaze guhindana( Infrequantable) bakaba biyemeje kumuta bakifatira undi wakwita ku nyungu zabo kumurusha .

Kagame afite ubwoba

5. Kagame atewe ubwoba no gutahura ko atigeze yita na rimwe ku nyungu nyakuri z’Abanyarwanda none atangiye kuraga mubyara we Makuza ibyamunaniye: Ngo ntimuzahugire muguharanira inyungu zanyu musuzugura iza rubanda !

6. Kagame afite ubwoba bw’uko politiki ye yo guhindura umutwe wa FDLR ba Nyirurutwerunini (Bouc-emissaire) itazongera gushyigikirwa nk’uko abyifuza, bo yahoraga agerekaho ibyaha byose byakozwe mu Rwanda n’akaga kose Abanyarwanda barimo ubungubu, bikamufasha kurangaza amahanga no kwigaragaza nk’intungane n’umucunguzi w’Abatutsi bo ku isi yose!

7. Kagame afite ubwoba ko amateka y’u Rwanda agiye kuvugwa uko ari bityo uruhare rwe mu marorerwa yarimbuye abanyarwanda n’Abanyekongo batagira ingano rurekere aho guhishwa ahubwo ruvugirwe ku kabonabose.

8. Kagame afite ubwoba bwo kwitwa umwicanyi bityo abari bamukingiye ikibaba bakaba bagiye kumukuraho amaboko burundu, ahasigaye imbwa zikamurya !

9.Kagame afite ubwoba bw’uko agiye gukurwa ku butegetsi maze Inkiko mpuzamahanga zikamufata, zikamuryoza ibyaha byose yakoze zitababarira .

Kagame afite umujinya

10. Kagame afite umujinya ko ishema yaterwaga no kwita Umuyobozi “UDASANZWE”(Visionary Leader) rirangiriye aho, ahubwo akaba atangiye gucuncumuka agana ikuzimu (Descente aux enfers), kuko agiye kuba iciro ry’imigani, yerekanwe nk’umutegetsi w’UMUBISHA warushije abandi gukomeretsa no kwivugana abanyagihugu benshi, kuva isi yaremwa !

11. Kagame afite umujinya ndetse n’ ipfunwe ryo kuzasubira kuvugira kuri BBC, hahandi yahoraga ajya kwigamba ubumanzi bw’ubutekinikano: Aho yambariye inkindi azagira ubutwari bwo kwemera kuhambarira incocero?

12. Kagame afite umujinya mwinshi w’uko abo bafatanyije gusahura ibyiza by’igihugu n’iby’abaturanyi bamwigaritse akaba agiye kubibazwa wenyine, aka ya nteruro yo muri Bibiriyango “abo nagaburiye umugati wanjye nibo banteye ishoti”!

13. Kagame afite umujinya ko mu batangabuhamya bamushinja harimo abavandimwe bahoze mu Gatsiko ke nyuma bakaza kwitandukanya n’ubugizi bwa nabi bwe. Koko rero yagerageje kubatesha agaciro mu maso y’abanyarwanda n’abanyamahanga, abacira imanza zo kubacisha umutwe, agerageza kubatsinda ishyanga ngo ntihasigare n’iyonka……none ababajwe n’uko bakiriho kandi bakaba batamworoheye . Aricuza impamvu basubiranyemo, none bikaba biri mu bimukozeho….

II. KAGAME ARATEGANYA KWIYAHURA NO KOREKA U RWANDA

Kubera ko Kagame atiteguye “kwemera ibyaha bye ngo tuzarebe uko yagabanyirizwa ibihano”,mu ijambo rye ry’ejo yagerageje gushushanyiriza Abanyarwanda igikorwa cya nyuma cy’ubutwari yiteguye gukora : KWIYAHURA ariko ntagende wenyine.

Ongera utege amatwi uko Kagame yashoje ijambo rye : “From here ,I think, It is a time to go and do a real thing “, “Guhera ubu , ndabamenyesha ko ngiye gukora “Agatendo” katazibagirana”. Ako gatendo ni akahe ? Aho si “Apocalypse” nk’iyo twiboneye n’amaso yacu muri 1994 ?

Mu by’ukuri, mu kwishuka ko agifite ibanga ryo kwikura mu kimwaro , Paul Kagame agiye gushoza indi intambara y’amasasu, gusa icyo atazi ni uko izaba ariyo ya nyuma kuko ari nayo izamuhitana. Ibimenyetso byose birerekana ko Kagame agiye gutera Kongo n’Uburundi icyarimwe. Gusa hari ibintu bitatu asa n’uwirengagiza nkana. Icya mbere ni uko yibeshya ku ngufu z’Uburundi muri iki gihe kandi n’iyo turebye amateka tukaba dusanga basekuru na basekuruza be b’indwanyi cyane batarigeze bigarurira Uburundi na rimwe. Icyakabiri ni uko asa n’utangiye kwibagirwa ukuntu umutwe we w’iterabwoba yari yarahaye izina rya M 23 wayobewe ikiwukubise, ugashwanyaguzwa nk’amakoma y’insina, izuba riva ! Icya gatatu ni uko inzangano zikarishye yikururiye mu karere no mu mahanga ya kure zishobora kumubyarira amazi nk’ibisusa, nko mu kanya ko guhumbya ijisho! Intamenya ntibwira umugenzi koko. Nagende rwiza, abagira iyo bajya baragenda. Mbabajwe n’abana b’inzirakarengane bagiye kongera gutikizwa bashorwa mu ntambara zitagize icyo zimariye u Rwanda n’Abanyarwanda. Njyewe Padiri Thomas Nahimana, ndamutse ndi mu ngabo za Kagame, iyi yo sinayirwana kandi sinakwibuza gushishikariza n’abandi kugenza nkanjye: twareka Kagame akayishoramo na Cyomoro we, bonyine!

UMWANZURO

Nyamara hari ukundi byagenda…! Haracyari akadirishya k’uko Kagame yakiza ubugingo bwe n’ubw’umuryango we, akarokora n’ubw’Abanyarwanda benshi . Nacishe make, aduhamagare, twicare TUGANIRE nta buhendanyi.

Mu gihe amahanga yizeraga atagishoboye kumucira akari urutega, Abanyarwanda nitwe twenyine ahari twamupfa agasoni, ngo n’ibyaye ikiboze irakirigata ! Umuti w’ikibazo Abanyarwanda ubwabo barawifitiye, bifitemo ubushobozi bwo gutera umugongo ibyahise, bakitangira kurema igihugu cy’AMAHORO arambye kandi asangiwe basonzeye .

Padiri Thomas Nahimana,

Paul Kagame: a mobile president who spent three out of nine months abroad !

Leave a reply

One other interesting thing you did not know about Kagame…He is always on trips using his personal jet but hired by the government. David Himbara has followed this amusing (not amazing) man’s movements. Kagame is the real “Mobile president”.

mobile president

The man (left) knows how to spend taxpayers’ money!

If we include Kagame’s forthcoming trip to London to attend the Global African Investment Summit (20-21 Oct) and give a lecture on “Rwanda’s Role in an Emerging Africa and Uncertain World” at Chatham House, 21 Oct 2014, he will have made 28 trips overseas in ten months. Of the 28 trips, 17 were in Africa, Europe and Middle East averaging 2 days each – meaning 34 days in total. In February, the President spent a week in western USA, and another week in eastern and western part of America in April – a total of 14 days. The President then spent the entire month of September in the United States, beginning in Aspen, Colorado in the west, swinging to the south in Atlanta, Georgia, before jetting to New York City for the UN events. From there, Kagame continued on to Dubai on 1 October, returning to Rwanda on 2 October and flying back to Europe for the event in Italy on 5 October 2014 – a total of 36 days. This means that in total Kagame was absent from Rwanda for a grand total of 84 days, or nearly 3 months.

Putting aside the costs which runs into millions of dollars, who runs Rwanda when Kagame is away, and how?

THE BBC MUST BE CONGRATULATED FOR LAUNCHING SCRUTINY WITH “RWANDA’S UNTOLD STORY”

Leave a reply

Paul Kagame– wants only the victor’s side of the story to be heard

[Commentary: Open Letter to the BBC]

The letter objecting to the BBC documentary “Rwanda’s Untold Story” signed by a list of formerly credible academics and public figures reveals their inability to accept the fact that, after any major conflict the “victor’s tale” is not completely accurate, and that is particularly the case for the four-year war for power in Rwanda the last 100 days of which is called “the Rwanda genocide.”

This is a lesson taught to those of us in the U.S. who remember Vietnam by Robert S. McNamara in another documentary “The Fog of War” about another war built on half-truths.

He also noted that, had the Japanese won WWII, he and others who planned the gasoline bombing of Tokyo would be the war criminals. It is quite amazing that “the myths of the victors” continue to be so easy to swallow — initially. It is as if the signers of the letter seeking to suppress journalism have suspended disbelief despite what even the British must remember about the Weapons of Mass Destruction.

But, the signatories are sticking to the Kagame/RPF victors’ saga long after the lack of evidence to support the “myth” has been exposed and contemporaneous data reported by third parties present in Rwanda has begun to create a new narrative. The notables signing the letter have to ignore written judgments entered by the UN Tribunal for Rwanda, after Trial Chambers heard the best evidence the Rwandan government could muster for more than a decade, on exactly the same three issues raised in the letter, the UN Tribunal rejected all three.

Here are the facts:

First, IF there was any evidence to support the assertion that “30,000 interahamwe were trained as killers,” it was not introduced by the Prosecution as evidence in the trials of the government or military leaders of the Habyarimana government. The proponents of the letter cite no source. In fact, the leaders of the government and military were acquitted of planning, conspiring, training, organizing, preparing, or any other sort of “planification” of any criminal acts against Tutsi civilians at all, prior to the assassination of President Habyarimana in the April 6, 1994 shootdown of the President’s plane.

This means that there was no evidence of planning to shoot down the President’s plane by his own forces, either. This is what Trial Chamber-found in the Bagosora Trial, Military-1:

When viewed against the backdrop of targeted killings and massive slaughter perpetrated by civilian and assailants between April and July 1994 as well as earlier cycles of violence, it is understandable why for many this evidence…shows a prior conspiracy to commit genocide….However, they are also consistent with preparations for a political or military power struggle…when confronted with circumstantial evidence [the Chamber] can only convict where it is the only reasonable inference…the Prosecution has not shown that the only reasonable inference based on credible evidence…was that [genocidal] intention was shared by the Accused.

…the Chamber is not satisfied that the Prosecution has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the four Accused conspired among themselves, or with others to commit genocide before it unfolded on 7 April 1994. (emphasis added)

Second, according to the letter’s signatory Gen. Dallaire, in his own Sept 1993 Reconnaissance Report to the Security Council, the RPF reported the total number of Tutsi in Rwanda was about 667,000, a number which the RPF did not consider an undercount in a UN estimate pre-Genocide. (see p. 30).

After July 1994, IBUKA, the RPF survivors organization estimated 300,000 Tutsi survived in Rwanda. This means that according to contemporaneous numbers from the RPF via Gen. Dallaire, total Tutsi deaths must have been a blood-chilling 337,000 and even less than Davenport and Stam estimate and means even more Hutu deaths would be required to reach 800,000 to 1,000,000 total or some 460,000 to 660,000 Hutus. Please take note: these numbers come from General Dallaire and the RPF. (Moreover, Gen. Dallaire has been a Kagame admirer for a long time, as far back as 1994 telling The New York Times, “He is absolutely brilliant,” and “He has an exceptionally disciplined mind.”)

Third, the shooting down of the plane was the conclusion reached in 1997 the elite International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) Prosecutor’s Investigative Team by: Michael Hourigan, Australian Queen’s Prosecutor; frmr. FBI Special Agent, James Lyons; Gen. Dallaires Chief Mil. Int. Ofcr. Col. Amadou Deme; Chief ICTR Prosecutor Carla del Ponte; French Investigating Judge Bruggiere; Spanish Investigating Judge Merelles; the subject of confessions by frmr Kagame Chiefs of Staff Theogene Rudesingwa, M.D.; Gen. Rudesingwa; Lt. Joshua Abdul Rusebiza(ICTR testimony); Lt. Ruyenzi; and supported by ICTR testimony from eyewitnesses including Fr. Col. DeSanQuentin in Kanombe Base and first at the crash site with Maj. Ntabakuze on April 6, 1004.All of the above is documented in the film, in documents cited in my book “The Accidental Genocide,” or in the evidence and transcripts at the ICTR.

Davenport, Stam and Reyntjens were all Prosecution witnesses, not defense witnesses, who stopped being called by the Prosecution as their conclusions began to contradict the RPF myths. Interahamwe leaders…witnesses A and BY in the Military-1 Trial both testified as Prosecution witnesses after guilty pleas in Belgium and both claimed to be trained ONLY as self-defense forces. This evidence is IN the ICTR record. Please confirm the assertion.

Please read the Trevidic Report, it does not say what is alleged by the letter. It’s conclusions are far more ambiguous than the letter suggests and are based on an analysis of re-produced sound recordings, not on the testimonies of any individuals involved in the shootdown team, itself. Without studying and understanding:

the four-year war that began as an invasion from Uganda in October 1990;

that resumed with a full assault in Feb. 1993 that displaced nearly 1.5 million Rwandans from the Byumba breadbasket that nearly took power;

the Burundi genocide that drove 300,000 refugees into Rwanda; and the U.S. ambassador telling Kagame in Nov. 1993 that if he resumed the war, he would be responsible for a second Burundi genocide in Rwanda (ICTR Testimony of Amb. Robert Flaten, July 2005):

As Dr. Stam stated, discussing the 100 days of the “Rwanda genocide” without discussing the 4-year war following the RPF invasion is like discussing the Holocaust without discussing WW-II.

Please note, none of the allegations in the letter signed by so many cite to any hard evidence in support. At the ICTR, this same lack of support required the Trial and Appeal Chambers to reject the allegations of the ICTR Prosecutor, the Rwandan Government, and the several Prosecutors on loan from the U.S. Dept of Justice which pursued the issue for more than a decade without success.

The letter fails to note the incontrovertible evidence of RPF crimes in Congo from 1993-2003 documented in the October 2010 UNHCR “Mapping Report;” the UNS/C Expert Reports on Illegal Resource Extraction from Congo, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2008, 20012; Rwandan support for M23 and other occupying groups illegally extracting resources from Congo; the excess deaths in Congo and Central Africa between 5 and 10 million deaths attributed to invasions of 1996, 1998 and continual warfare over two decades.

In 2010, the Obama administration declared the Kagame election unfree and unfair, while Victoire Ingabire and other potential candidates were imprisoned and prevented from meaningful campaigning. In March 2014, HRW Reported the history of assassination of political opponents of Kagame dating back to 1993, and attempts on current opponents in exile.

In 2012, the U.S. War Crimes Ambassador, Stephen Rapp THREATENED with prosecution ala Charles Taylor for his support of M23 crimes in Congo. All of the foregoing are in the public record.

The existence of this massive bloodshed, and its authorship in Kigali with assistance from Kampala cannot be denied by any honest signatories of the letter submitted to BBC.

The BBC documentary is true to the documentary record, and to the investigations and judgments of the United Nations ICTR despite the impunity enjoyed by Kagame and the RPF for crimes committed during the Rwanda genocide, described by former Chief ICTR Prosecutor Carla del Ponte.

The BBC is to be congratulated for following the story where the evidence leads.

Sincerely,

UK: MPs vote to recognise Palestinian state, adding to pressure on Israel

MPs including the Labour leader, Ed Miliband, have voted to recognise Palestine as a state in a symbolic move that will unnerve Israel by suggesting that it is losing a wider battle for public opinion in Britain.

The vote of 274 to 12, a majority of 262, on a backbench motion has no practical impact on British government policy and ministers were instructed not to vote. Labour decided to impose a one-line whip, and the Liberal Democrats, like the Conservatives, gave their backbenchers a free vote.

In possibly the single most important contribution in an emotional debate, Richard Ottaway, the Conservative chairman of the foreign affairs select committee, said the recent annexation of West Bank land by the Israeli government had angered him like nothing else in politics.

The Conservative MP said he had been a supporter of the state of Israel before he became a Tory and had close family connections with the generation that formed the Israeli state. He explained: “The Holocaust had a deep impact on me growing up in the wake of the second world war,” adding that he had been a strong supporter of Israel in the six day war and subsequent conflicts.

He told MPs: “Looking back over the past 20 years, I realise now Israel has slowly been drifting away from world public opinion. The annexation of the 950 acres of the West Bank just a few months ago has outraged me more than anything else in my political life. It has made me look a fool and that is something I deeply resent.”

He said he was not yet convinced that Palestine was fit to be a state due to its refusal to recognise Israel, adding that “in normal circumstances” he would have opposed the motion. But, he said, “such is my anger with the behaviour of Israel in recent months that I will not be opposing this motion. I have to say to the government of Israel: if it is losing people like me, it is going to be losing a lot of people.”

The former foreign secretary, Jack Straw, said the vote was not simply a gesture, because if it were, the Israeli government would not be as worried by the vote.

The Israeli government, he said, wants the recognition of the Palestinian state only at the successful conclusion of any negotiations. But Straw said “such an approach would give the Israelis a veto over whether a Palestinian state should exist”. A vote for recognition would add to the pressure on the Israeli government, he said. “The only thing that the Israeli government, in my view, in its present demeanour under Bibi Netanyahu understands is pressure.”

Straw moved an amendment to the motion setting out that the UK government should recognise Palestine “as a contribution to securing a negotiated two-state solution”.

Sir Malcolm Rifkind, a former Conservative foreign secretary, said it had been British policy for generations that a state is recognised when the territory in question has a government, an army and a military capability.

Conservative James Clappison spoke out against the motion, arguing it would do more harm than good. He said: “I believe that international recognition of a Palestinian state in the terms of the motion would make a two-state solution less likely rather than more likely.

“I don’t see Israel, having faced the challenges it has over the years, caving in to this backbench motion. It might be a gesture on behalf of this house, but it would take the process no further.”

He said Hamas had “set its face against any peace deal with Israel” and undertaken a “campaign of terror”.

The motion had been tabled by Labour’s Grahame Morris, who said it was right to take the “small but symbolically important” step of recognising the Palestinian right to statehood.

Tobias Ellwood, the Middle East minister, said the UK government was a “staunch supporter” of Israel’s right to defend itself, but settlement-building made “it hard for Israel’s friends to make the case that Israel is committed to peace”.

Ellwood said Palestinian statehood could only become a reality when occupation ends

and stressed that the UK believes “this will only come through negotiations”. He added: “The UK will bilaterally recognise a Palestinian state when we judge that it can best help bring about peace.”

Ihene izabyara isekurume ndwi zose zange konka!

Ubu twandika Bernard Makuza amaze kurahirira kuyobora Sena y’U Rwanda. Akaba aje asimbura mugenzi we
Jean Damascène Ntawukuriryayo uherutse gutegekwa kwegura kuri uyu mwanya. N’ubwo rero Ntawukuriryayo yaregwaga uruhurirane rw’ibyaha bihimbano birimo :

Kwigwiza ho imitungo yifashishije umwanya we, nk’aho yakiriye abashyitsi batarenze batatu agatanga fagitire ya miliyoni ebyiri z’amafaranga y’u Rwanda,

Gushyira mu nzu ye ibikoresho bifite agaciro gahambaye kandi byose bikishyurwa na leta,

Gukorera mu bwiru imwe mu mirimo ashinzwe kandi ntatange na raporo z’amanama amwe n’amwe ajyamo rwihishwa…

ibi byose byavuzwe sibyo Ntawukuriryayo yazize. Azize icyaha kitavuzwe.

Ntawukuriryayo yazize ko yari yaramaze gutangariza zimwe mu nshuti ze ko adashyigikiye gahunda y’umwami wa Repubulika Paul Kagame yo guhindura itegekonshinga. Ibyo nyamara bikaba byari ikibazo gikomeye kuri Kagame kuko yari kuzahura n’ingorane mu guhindura itegekonshinga kandi Sena ni yo ifite izo nshingano nk’uko biteganwa n’ingingo ya 88 y’Itegekonshinga. Iyo ngingo itegenya ko Sena ifite ububasha bwo « gutora amategeko yerekeye ivugururwa ry’Itegekonshinga ». Ibyo kandi byongera gushimangirwa by’umwihariko n’ingingo ya 193. Iki rero cyabaye ikibazo gikomeye kuri Kagame ugeze mu mayira abiri maze ahitamo kumukura mu nzira inzira zikigendwa.

Kagame yarebye mu muryango we maze abona urangwa n’ibirura, ni ko kwigira inama yo kwigondera na ko kwitabaza mubyara we Bernard Makuza muri iri hurizo rikomeye agezemo ryo kuvuguruza itegekonshinga n’abanyarwanda twese.

Biragoye cyane ku buryo inzira Umwami azitabaza zose zidashobora kumuhira. Dore iyo ingingo Kagame ubwe yiyandikishirije mu itegekonshinga uko ivuga:

« Perezida wa Repubulika atorerwa manda y’imyaka irindwi. Ashobora kongera gutorwa inshuro imwe. Nta na rimwe umuntu yemererwa gutorerwa manda zirenze ebyiri ku mwanya wa Perezida wa Repubulika » (Ingingo ya 101).

Ariko se Kagame n’iyo yavuguruza iyi ngingo byamuhira akongera koko kuyobora Repubulika y’u Rwanda ?

Nguwo umugabo Bernard Makuza wiyemeje kubimufashamo

IHENE IZABYARA ISEKURUME NDWI (7) ZOSE ZANGE KONGA

Umuhanuzi Magayane ni we wavuze ko : « Ihene izabyara isekurume ndwi zose zange konka ». Ngicyo ikimenyetso kibanziriza icya nyuma mbere y’ihirima ry’ubutegetsi bwa Rwabujindiri rurya ntiruhage. Nibyo koko burya ngo ntakiba Imana itabicishije mu bahanuzi bayo. Ibyo Magayane yavuze byose kugeza ubu byarabaye tukaba dutegereje ivuka ry’izo sekurume ndwi mu minsi ya vuba, maze « Isake igahita ibika ikigera ku mutambiko w’urusenge » ari cyo kimenyetso cya nyuma.

Ihene rero magayane yavugaga biragaragara ko ntayindi atari buriya butegetsi bwiyicaje ku ntebe nk’uko tubizi twese. Naho kubyara isekurume ndwi byo ni uguhindura itegekonshinga maze Kagame akiyongeza indi manda y’imyaka irindwi (7) ari yo isobanura isekurume ndwi. Nyamara ariko izo sekurume zose mu buhanuzi twibuke ko zanze konka ! Ibi rero ni ho bihurira n’ibyo Kagame agiye kwigora akora. Agiye guhindura itegeko nshinga, bizakorwa ariko ntakizavamo. Aziyongeza manda y’imyaka 7 ariko nta mwaka n’umwe azayitegekaho. Kwanga konka bigereranywa no kwanga kwima. Birababaje. Ihene izabyara isekurume ndwi ariko zose zange konka.

Uretse n’ubuhanuzi ariko Kagame na FPR ayoboye bafite urundi rukuta bazahura narwo

Nk’uko byatangajwe n’Abataripfana bo mu Ishyaka Ishema muri kongere yabo yateraniye i Paris guhera tariki ya 07/02 kugeza ku ya 09/02/2014, Abataripfana aho bari hose biyemeje kwitabira amatora y’umukuru w’igihugu kandi bagatangamo n’umukandida ari we Padiri Thomas Nahimana. Ibi rero nabyo ni indi nzitizi ikomereye Kagame na FPR ayoboye guhindura itegekonshinga ntibihagije ahubwo agomba no kwitegura guhangana n’abasore n’inkumi b’abanyarwanda bahagurukiye kandi bashishikajwe no guhindura ibintu mu kuri no mumutuzo.

Nkuko rero bigaragara mu Rwanda rw’uyumunsi, Kagame ari gukora ubusa kuko abanyarwanda barambiwe ingoma mpotozi. Abanyarwanda barambiwe igitugu n’iterabwoba rikabije. By’umwihariko ntibakwihanganira ubwicanyi FPR yazanye guhera tariki ya 01/10/1990 kandi ikaba idashaka kubureka. Kagame nahame yumve urwishigishiye ararusoma, nawe narusome ruramukwiye.

Rwanda: muri Sena uwujuje ibisabwa ni we watowe!

Hon. Bernard Makuza Turatsinze

Igihe cy’iminsi 30 ni cyo giteganywa n’itegeko kugira ngo umuyobozi wa sena weguye asimburwe. Abanyarwanda bari bakomeje kwibaza uza gusimbura Dr Ntawukuriryayo J. Damascene ku buyobozi bw’uyu umutwe. Dr Ntawukuriryayo yegujwe ku mwanya w’ubuyobozi bwa sena ku itariki ya 17 Nzeri 2014 aregwa ibirego byinshi kandi bikomeye. Nyamara n’ubwo ibi birego bikomeye, uyu mukombozi ntiyigeze asabirwa gukurikiranwa mu butabera, iki kikaba ari ikimenyetso ko mu by’ukuri icyari kigamijwe ari uko atanga umwanya. Ntiwakumva ukuntu umuntu aregwa icyaha cyo kwigwizaho umutungo kandi ari mu nzego zishyiraho amategeko, ndetse yakagombye kuba intumwa ya rubanda ngo maze akomeze yicare mu ntebe nk’aho nta cyabaye. Iyo bigenze bitya biba ari ukumwereka ko agiriwe ikigongwe maze nyuma ye nihagira ukora ikosa nk’iryo yarezwe, uwababariwe aruce arumire kuko afite icyo yishinja.

Utaramenya strategy ya RPF ashatse yakwigira aha: Abanyabyaha babikoze ku buryo buzwi, ababihimbiwe ariko batinya ubutabera (n’ubundi butababuramo urukumbi) ni bo bahabwa ijambo kugira ngo batazinyagambura, kuko kuba batekanye babikesha impuhwe bagiriwe. Hari yewe n’abandi baterwa ubwoba ko bagiye gukurwa mu myanya kandi nta cyo bishinja ariko bareba uko system ikora, bagakubitiraho ubwoba bwabuzuye mu bwenge, bagashima igitekerezo bahawe: kwandika ugasaba imbabazi maze ugasubizwa mu mwanya upfa gusa kutazongera gukora iryo “kosa”. Abasirikare bakuru benshi barabikoze, abayobozi mu myanya myinshi barabikoze….ikibabaje ni uko n’ubundi biba nka bya bindi ngo byo “guhongera umwanzi akakumara ku nka”. Uko byamera kose bigera aho cya cyaha wasabiye imbabazi ukakiryozwa! Kuri Ntawukuriryayo, kuba ataravuzweho byinshi si uko adafite ibyo azasobanurira Abanyarwanda, ahubwo ni uko mu muco wacu atari byiza cyane kuvuga nabi uwatabarutse!

Tutagiye kubeshyana nta we utabona ko muri iki gihe nyuma FPR yatangiye kwitegura amatora yo mu mwaka wa 2017. Bibaye nyuma y’uko ishyaka ISHEMA party rya nouvelle generation rifashe icyemezo cyo kujya gutera ingabo mu bitugu umubyeyi Ingabire Victoire uri ku itabaro. Ibi bikaba bizakorwa abasore b’intarumikwa bamanuka i Kigali ngo na bo batange message y’ uko u Rwanda rudakwiye kuyoborwa nk’akarima k’umuntu ku gite cye, ko ubutabera bugomba kureba buri wese, kandi ko amaraso y’abanyarwanda uwayamennye wese akwiye kubiryozwa; ariko igikuru muri byose kikaba ko Abanyarwanda bakwiye kwishyiriraho ubuyobozi bashaka bitari bya bindi bya “tora aha”.

Ibi rero bitera ubwoba Paul Kagame uzi neza ko aramutse avuye ku butegetsi ashobora gukurikiranwa n’ubucamanza. Ubu bwoba butaha no mu mitima ya ba banyabyaha bamukikije bumva ko akabo karangiye. Igisubizo kuri bo ni ugushaka uko Paul Kagame yakwiyongeza akaguma ku butegetsi, ndetse nk’uko wa muyobozi w’umutwe FFU (Fanya Fujo Uwone) Mussa Fazil aherutse kubivuga Kagame ntahabwe manda imwe ahubwo agahabwa izitabarika ( indeterminés).

Umuyobozi mushya agomba kuba yujuje iki?

Umuntu wese ukurikiranira hafi politiki y’u Rwanda arabona ko umuyobozi mushya wa sena agomba gushyira mu bikorwa umushinga wo guhindura itegekonshinga kugira ngo perezida akomeze yicare ku ntebe. Hari conditions umuntu nk’uyu agomba kuba yujuje kugira ngo FPR ifite ubwiganze muri sena imwemere.

Kuba ari ikigwari:

Guhindura itegeko nshinga ni cyo cyonyine cyageza Kagame ku cyo yifuza. Kimwe n’andi mategeko agenga amatora, guhindura itegekonshinga byemezwa na Sena hanyuma bikanyuzwa mu matora ya referendum. Umuntu utari ikigwari ntashobora kwemera guhindura itegeko nshinga cyane cyane ko nta kindi byaba bigamije uretse kwimakaza ingoma ya repubulika-cyami y’Abega.

Kuba afitiye umwenda Abanyarwanda:

Uyu muntu agomba afite inkomanga ku mutima ko u Rwanda ruramutse rugize ubuyobozi bwiza bwazamubaza ibibi yakoreye abenegihugu. Kubera kwitegereza uko Kagame akanira rumwe abamubwiza ukuri, abamuyobotse ndetse n’abamurwanya bose ntagire impuhwe, abantu benshi bibeshya ko wenda n’ubutegetsi buzatorwa butazabagirira ikigongwe. Nyamara nsanga umuntu aramutse yitwaye neza yabibabarirwa dore ko abenshi baba barabiguyemo babishowemo n’igitugu cya system iriho. Cyakora abakoze ibyaha by’indengakamere bo ndakeka bazakenera icyuhagiro. Bityo rero umuntu ugomba kwemera guhindura itegekonshinga ni utinya ko yazabazwa umwenda afitiye Abanyarwanda.

Kuba atemera guhindura ingendo:

Umuntu wemererwa kujya muri uyu mwanya akaba atari ikigwari kandi ntagire umwenda afitiye rubanda, agomba kuba yemera kutazahinduka agakomeza uko ari. Ni ukuvuga ko niba atujuje conditions ebyiri zibanza ariko akaba yemeye kuba muri uyu mwanya agomba kuba atazigera na rimwe ahindura ngo avuge ko yibeshye kuko byatuma yigomeka kuri system akarwanya ihindurwa ry’itegekonshinga. Bene uyu muntu yaboneka mu bantu binjiye muri politiki vuba bataragira bilan ndende. Ikibaranga ni ukutagira indangagaciro bagenderaho ndetse no gutekereza birinda kubikora kuko bafata FPR nk’ubwonko bwabo bo bakaba ingingo zindi : amaguru, amaboko, umunwa, amatwi, intoki, amano, ndetse harin’abo ubonaari nk’uturegeya tw’intoki za FPR.

Ninde wujuje ibi bisabwa?

Bwana Makuza Bernard Turatsinze, Perezida wa Sena.

Uyu mugabo umaze igihe kinini muri politiki ya FPR yujuje zose cyangwa se inyinshi muri conditions maze kuvuga haruguru. Yatsindiye ubugwari ku buryo budasubirwaho igihe yatangaga umusanzu ngo asenye ishyaka rya se MDR ryamuhaye izina Turatsinze (yavutse MDR n’Abahutu bamaze gutsinda gihake). Byatumye ajyamo umwenda Abanyarwanda kandi yiyemeje gukomeza iyo ngendo yanga kugira irindi shyaka ajyamo ngo akomeze abe urugingo rukomeye rwa politiki ya FPR. Kuba ari mubyara wa Kagame bituma benshi batekereza ko ntacyo FPR yamutwara.

Makuza Bernard Turatsinze yamamajwe bwa mbere, Laurent Nkusi yamamazwa bwa kabiri ariko byari ikinamico. Makuza abyemeye, Nkusi yahise avuga ko amuhaye amajwi ye maze kuri 26 batoye, 25 batora Makuza, ijwi rimwe riba imfabusa bikaba bivugwa ko iri ryapfuye ubusa ari umuntu watoye utiyamamaje, nga akaba yabikoze mu rwego rwo kwerekana ko bose batemeye agahato bari bashyizeho mbere ko Makuza ari we wagombaga gutorwa.

Makuza rero niyitegure gukora akazi ko guhindura itegekonshinga ariko namutungira agatoki ko rubanda imureba. Muri referendum bazatora “oya” FPR yibe amajwi revolisiyo itangire. Ibizakurikiraho ni undi mwenda Makuza ashaka kwishyira ku mutwe kandi kuwishyura bizamusaba byinshi adafite.

RDC – Rwanda : qu’est-ce qui bloque (encore) le désarmement des FDLR ?

Leave a reply

Des rebelles FDLR près de Pinga, à 150 km au nord-ouest de Goma, dans l'est de la RDC.

Après la neutralisation du M23, la brigade d’intervention des Nations unies devait s’attaquer aux autres groupes armés notamment les rebelles rwandais FDLR. Mais les pays de la région ont décidé d’accorder six mois à ces derniers pour qu’ils se rendent. Trois mois plus tard, zéro reddition…

“Sur le terrain, rien ne bouge”, reconnaît une source onusienne proche du dossier. Le 2 octobre pourtant, trois mois se sont écoulés depuis qu’un ultimatum de six mois a été accordé aux rebelles des Forces démocratiques pour la libération du Rwanda (FDLR) par les États de la région pour qu’ils désarment volontairement.

“Si nous refusons de déposer les armes comme convenu, c’est parce qu’on cherche à nous imposer certaines conditions inacceptables sans nous avoir consulté au préalable”, se défend La Forge Fils Bazeye, porte-parole des FDLR. Et de pointer la Mission de l’Onu pour la stabilisation du Congo (Monusco) : “Nous avons demandé à la Monusco par exemple d’agrandir les deux camps de transit au Nord-Kivu et au Sud-Kivu pour pouvoir recevoir d’autres combattants qui sont prêts à se rendre, mais on exige de les envoyer à Kisangani, ville choisie pour le regroupement de nos hommes sans notre accord.”

À en croire le rapport de Ban Ki-moon, secrétaire général de l’ONU, publié le 24 septembre sur la mise en œuvre de l’accord-cadre entre la RDC et les autres pays de la région, “au 31 août, seuls 103 combattants des FDLR et 202 personnes à leur charge avaient déposé 102 armes et s’étaient rendus dans le Nord-Kivu, tandis que 83 combattants et 236 personnes à leur charge avaient déposé 83 armes dans le Sud-Kivu.” Au total, quelque 186 éléments FDLR seulement se sont rendus jusqu’ici et “se trouvent actuellement dans des deux camps de transit gérés par la Monusco, à Kanyabayongo (Nord-Kivu) et à Walungu (Sud-Kivu)”, précise le texte.

Désarmement au point mort

Autrement dit, depuis la timide vague de reddition fin mai, le désarmement volontaire des FDLR est resté au point mort. La Communauté de développement de l’Afrique australe (SADC) et la Conférence internationale sur la région des Grands Lacs (CIRGL) avaient prévenu que des opérations militaires contre ce groupe armé seraient organisées “au cas où aucun progrès ne serait constaté lors de l’examen à mi-parcours d’octobre”. Un sommet conjoint SADC et CIRGL doit être convoqué dans les prochains jours “pour décider de la marche à suivre”.

Les pays de la région décideront-ils de suspendre l’ultimatum pour engager la traque des FDLR ? En tout cas, la Monusco de son côté se dit prête à neutraliser ces rebelles rwandais. Son chef, Martin Kobler, ne croit plus au désarmement volontaire des FDLR qu’il accuse de bloquer le processus en exigeant l’ouverture d’un dialogue avec Kigali avant de se rendre (une condition “inacceptable” pour les autorités rwandaises). Problème : des troupes qui composent la brigade d’intervention de l’ONU – des soldats tanzaniens, malawites et sud-africains – ne peuvent pas bouger, sans aval de leurs États respectifs, membres de la SADC et/ou de la CIRGL. “Nous attendons le feu vert des pays de la région”, renseigne notre source onusienne.

“L’option militaire doit être remise sur la table”

En attendant, Kigali s’impatiente. “Toutes ces tergiversations doivent cesser”, tonne Olivier Ndurungirehe, représentant adjoint du Rwanda auprès des Nations unies. “Il faut maintenant que la Monusco et la brigade d’intervention mettent en œuvre les décisions du Conseil de sécurité qui demande la neutralisation de tous les groupes armés présents dans l’est de la RDC, y compris les FDRL”, insiste-t-il, dénonçant à son tour “l’absence de volonté des FDLR de se désarmer”.

En conséquence, “l’option militaire doit être remise sur la table”, suggère le diplomate rwandais. “Pourquoi la brigade d’intervention de l’ONU devrait-elle attendre encore trois mois supplémentaires avant de les traquer alors que ces rebelles ne désarment pas et qu’ils ont même indiqué qu’ils ne le feront pas ?” s’interroge-t-il.

À tort, les dirigeants FDLR considèrent que la RDC devait mettre la pression sur le Rwanda pour que ce dernier accepte d’engager des pourparlers avec eux. C’est une erreur !

Lambert Mende, porte-parole du gouvernement congolais

Du côté de Kinshasa, c’est le même constat : “Il n’y a pas eu de progrès”, reconnaît Lambert Mende. Mais le porte-parole du gouvernement congolais estime que “l’ultimatum de six mois, décidé par les chefs d’État de la région, doit être maintenu jusqu’à son terme”, avant d’engager des opérations militaires contre les FDLR.

Pour Lambert Mende, le blocage constaté dans ce processus de désarmement volontaire ne serait du qu’à une “perception fausse” des dirigeants FDLR sur le rôle que doit jouer Kinshasa. “À tort, ils considèrent que la RDC devait mettre la pression sur le Rwanda pour que ce dernier accepte d’engager des pourparlers avec eux. C’est une erreur ! Dans tous les cas, ils rentreront chez eux de gré ou de force”, conclut le ministre congolais.

This World: Rwanda’s Untold Story, BBC Two, review – ‘intense’

Leave a reply

This World: Rwanda’s Untold Story attempted to overturn the consensus view about the 1994 genocide, says Gerard O’Donovan

The horrifying results of mob violence at its most extreme were revisited by reporter Jane Corbin in This World: Rwanda’s Untold Story (BBC Two). This intense documentary set out to entirely up-end what the world understands happened during the Rwandan genocide in 1994, when a million people were slaughtered in a bloodbath lasting 100 days.

Corbin began by looking at how, 20 years on, Rwanda’s is one of Africa’s fastest growing economies and the country’s president, Paul Kagame, enjoys the support of the international community. There followed an account of the tensions between the minority Tutsi and majority Hutu populations that led to the genocide, and how Kagame – through the intervention of his rebel force, the Rwandan Patriotic Front, came to be seen as the hero who stopped the killing.

That was the last time in the film that anything generally accepted wasn’t called into question. Interviewing academics, survivors and former henchmen of Kagame, Corbin embarked on a forensic deconstruction of the official history of the genocide (which puts the blame entirely on the Hutus). Studies by two American researchers suggested that hundreds of thousands of Hutus could have been killed too, possibly by RPF forces. A UN report expressing similar concerns had allegedly been suppressed. Belgian historian Prof Filip Reyntjens suggested that Kagame could be one of the “most important war criminals still in office today”.

The allegations kept coming: of rigged elections and political oppression, of pressure put on official investigations into the genocide, assassination attempts on Kagame’s exiled ex-colleagues, and Rwanda’s role in the deaths of five million people in the wider conflict in the Congo region. The numbers were mind boggling, the answers few, the claim that the UK is the largest contributor to the near £500 million annual foreign aid that helps keep Kagame in power, deeply concerning.

U.S. Urges Burundi and Rwanda to Investigate Deaths

Press Statement

Jen Psaki
Department Spokesperson

Washington, DC

September 25, 2014

The United States expresses its deep concern regarding the discovery of a number of corpses in July and August of this year, some bound and wrapped in plastic, in Lake Rweru, which borders Burundi and Rwanda. We note that several countries also raised their concern about these deaths during the Interactive Dialogue with the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances that was held in conjunction with the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva on September 12.

We urgently call on the Burundian and Rwandan Governments to conduct a prompt, thorough, and impartial and concerted investigation of these deaths with the assistance of independent, international forensic experts.

We firmly believe that these victims deserve to be identified, their families deserve to know their fate, and those responsible should be brought to justice.
