(CNN)UK officials arrested Rwandan intelligence chief Emmanuel Karenzi Karake at London’s Heathrow Airport in “connection with war crimes” in a move that has outraged Rwandan government officials.

The British High Commission in Rwanda confirmed Tuesday that the Metropolitan Police arrested Karake, who’s the head of Rwanda’s National Intelligence and Security Services, early Saturday on behalf of the Spanish authorities.

“This was a legal obligation, following the issue of a valid European Arrest Warrant,” the commission said on its Facebook page. It added that Britain had been “a close partner in Rwanda’s remarkable progress since the horrific events of the genocide in 1994.”

The Metropolitan Police said Karake, 54, appeared before Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Saturday afternoon “after being arrested on a European Arrest Warrant on behalf of the authorities in Spain, where he is wanted in connection with war crimes against civilians.”

Karake was remanded in custody and is due to appear in court again Thursday, police said.

His arrest will doubtless stir up painful memories around the Rwandan genocide two decades ago.

Louise Mushikiwabo, minister for foreign affairs and co-operation in Rwanda, expressed her anger over the arrest via Twitter.

“Western solidarity in demeaning Africans is unacceptable!! It is an outrage to arrest #Rwanda-n official based on pro-genocidaires lunacy!” she tweeted.

Mushikiwabo also said that the United Nations had in 2009 “amply documented” that the Spanish nongovernmental organizations she said were behind the “preposterous” European Arrest Warrant for Karake supported a Hutu militia group.

In 1994, Hutu extremists in Rwanda targeted minority ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus in a three-month killing spree that left an estimated 800,000 people dead. Hutu attackers burned down churches with hundreds or thousands of Tutsis inside. In some cases, wielding machetes, they entered homes and slaughtered children and grandparents.

The violence was triggered by the death of President Juvenal Habyarimana, an ethnic Hutu, in an April 1994 plane crash.

The armed forces of now-President Paul Kagame’s Rwandan Patriotic Front, of which Karake was also a member, eventually defeated the troops, stopping the wave of bloodletting.

Rights groups have since accused the Rwandan Patriotic Front — a Tutsi-dominated group — of killing thousands of Hutu civilians in the aftermath of the genocide.

The European Arrest Warrant issued by a Spanish judge in 2008 accused 39 other Rwandan officers besides Karake of wrongdoing.

Nta n’umwe mu bakada ba FPR utabona neza ko icyo Kagame agiye kubazanira ari intambara! Baribaza bati twageze aha dute koko( How did we get here?)

Nyuma y’umwiherero(cyangwa kongere!)  wabereye  mu  Murenge wa Rusororo, Akarere ka Gasabo , mu mujyi wa Kigali , ku mataliki ya 13 na 14 Kamena 2015 ukaba warahuje  Perezida Paul Kagame na ba bantu  600 bafite inshingano yo kumufasha kuyobora Ishyaka rya FPR-Inkotanyi no  gukwirakwiza iterabwoba mu giturage ,   ibyahwihwiswaga bibaye impamo.

Ubu noneho ibintu bitangiye kujya ahagaragara, impamvu y’intambara y’amasasu (causa belli) irabonetse mu Rwanda. Byumvikane neza ko atari ABATARIPFANA bateganya gushoza iyo ntambara isesa amaraso : ntayo dushyigikiye, ntayo dushaka , nta n’iyo dukeneye. Gusa iyo intambara ije igira uko irwanwa, ikagira abiyemeza kuyirwana ariko n’abo igwirira si bake!

Ibyo ngiye gutangaza  aha simbivuga nk’uwishimiye ibyago by’umuryango we, ndabivuga nk’UMUHANUZI urira igihugu cye abona neza ko cyatangiye gushorwa mu nzira yo kurimbuka!

I. Iyo intambara  zijya gutera haboneka abantu bigira ba “KAMARA”!

Ngo akamasa kazaca inka kazivukamo ! Amateka y’isi atwereka ko iyo mu gihugu runaka hadutse umuntu cyangwa Agatsiko k’abantu bumva :

(1)  Ko ari bo bonyine ba “KAMARA”,

(2)  Ko aribo bonyine bazi uko igihugu kiyoborwa,

(3)  Ko aribo bavukiye gutegeka abandi benegihugu bakaba baravukiye kubabera abagaragu

(4)  Ko ibyiza by’igihugu byose ari akarima kabo bonyine

(5)  Ko bavuye ku butegetsi igihugu kitakongera kubaho…..

intambara karundura iba igiye gutera ! Impamvu ya bene iyo ntambara ihora ari imwe rukumbi : ntihabura bamwe mu benegihugu banga guhindurwa INKOMAMASHYI n’ABAGERERWA kandi  biyumva nk’abagabo n’abagore biyubashye, bityo bagafata icyemezo kidakuka cyo kurwana ku ishema ryabo, aho gupfa nk’imbwa z’imirizo bagahitamo gupfana intwaro mu ntoki barengera uburenganzira bwabo !

Intambara zo guharanira ubwigenge (guerres de libération armée)  zagiye zitangira ari uko bamwe muri ba Kavukire  biyemeje kwanga Umukoloni wigize Kamara bagahitamo kurwanira ubwigenge bw’ibihugu byabo.

Intambara z’Abarevolisiyoneri (Guerres révolutionnaires) nazo ni uko zitangira, iyo habonetse abaturage banga guhindurwa Inkomamashyi n’Agatsiko k’abenegihugu  kigize kamara kagashaka kwambura abandi  benegihugu uburenganzira bwabo no kubahindura abacakara .

II. Byagenze bite mu  Rwanda ?

1.Kugeza mu myaka y’1959, hariho ingoma ya cyami na gihake yumvaga yaragenewe kuzagenga u Rwanda ubuziraherezo. Iyo ngoma yari ishingiye ku muntu, inzu, n’ubwoko bumwe.  Umwami wenyine niwe wafatwaga nk’isooko y’ubutegetsi (Au Souverain, la souveraineté).  Umwami n’abiru be biyumvaga nk’aho aribo bonyine batunze ibanga ry’uko igihugu kiyoborwa . Umwami yumvaga ari we Nyirigihugu wenyine  abandi benegihugu bose bakaba ABAGERERWA be. Abantu n’ibintu byose byo mu gihugu byabarwaga nk’umutungo bwite w’Umwami. Yaragabaga, akanyaga. Yicaga uwo ashatse agakiza uwo yishakiye. Yumvaga kandi ko Imana iri ku ruhande rwe bityo ingoma ye ikaba idateze kugira iherezo.

Iyo myumvire iteye ityo yateye abami 3 ba  nyuma b’u Rwanda ikintu gisa n’ubuhumyi buhambaye  bityo ibanga rikomeye rirabihisha, batungurwa no kumenya ko “ibihe bihora bisimburana iteka”, batahura impitagihe ko “BIHIBINDI” na we ari umwana w’umunyarwanda! Kubera gukikizwa n’abagereerwa mu mwanya w’abajyanama b’abataripfana , Umwami wa nyuma w’u Rwanda yagiye gukanguka asanga yarumiye ku ruhu nka cya kirondwe kandi inka yarariwe kera !

Mu myaka ya 55, abasore (Nouvelle Génération) bari barasogongeye kuri “Filozofiya” ikabafasha kwicengezamo icyo Uburenganzira bwa muntu bivuga ikabongerera gushishoza no kumenya bwangu aho Umuyaga w’impinduka( The wind of change) werekezaga, bafashe icyemezo cyo “gusheta”amagara yabo, bahagurutsa RUBANDA RUGUFI. Iyo rubanda rugufi ni  yayindi  i Bwami babaraga nk’umukumbi w’Abagaragu n’Abaja batagize ikindi bishoboreye uretse guhakirizwa , nyamara bagiye kurengera uburenganzira bwabo bahagurukana n’iyonka. Nibwo batangaje ko “Karinga n’izayo zose iciwe i Rwanda”,   baca iteka ko kuva taliki ya 28 Mutarama 1961 kugeza n’uyu munsi  u “Rwanda rubaye Repubulika”,  ko “ Ubutegetsi bwose bukomoka kuri rubanda, kandi nko nta muntu ku giti cye cyangwa agatsiko k’abantu gashobora kwiha no kwikubira ubwo butegetsi “ ! ( Reba ingingo ya 2 y’Itegekonshinga ryo mu 2003)

Ng’uko uko Ingoma ya Cyami na Gihake yagiye nka nyomberi, mu kanya nk’ako guhumbya ijisho kandi yari imaze imyaka isaga magana ane yariyise Kamara, Repubulika irashingwa kandi irafata, Demokarasi iravuka n’ubwo yari igikeneye kurerwa neza kugira ngo ishinge imizi !

Reka twature tubivuge uko biri : Repubulika na Demokarasi twabigabiwe na PARMEHUTU !

Muri icyo gihe habayeho ibitambo bya Revolisiyo. Bamwe barishwe, abandi barafungwa, habaho abagizwe imfubyi n’abapfakazi, habaho ibimuga n’impunzi. Ibyo byose ntibyari bikwiye, iyo igihugu kigira abategetsi bashisoza izo ngaruka mbi zose zashoboraga kuburizwamo.  Impinduka zikabaho ariko zikabaho mu mahoro, zikagirira abenegihugu bose akamaro. Habuze ubushishozi, nuko ba KAMARA bibwiraga ko u Rwanda rutabaho batarutegeka bonyine bararubisa ariko rukomeza kubaho.

2. Kugeza mu myaka y’1990,  byaje kugaragara ko Demokarasi ya PARMEHUTU  yananiwe kwihandura rya “hwa” ryo gushaka gushingira “ rubanda itanga ubutegetsi” ku muntu, ku karere n’ubwoko !

Ngo kubera iyo mpamvu bamwe mu bana b’u Rwanda, cyane cyane abo mu bwoko bw’Abatutsi b’impunzi  bumvaga batagishoboye kwihanganira guheezwa no kugirwa Abagereerwa n’Inkomamashyi (les citoyens de seconde zone”) beguye imbunda maze taliki ya 1/10/1990 baturuka Uganda “barasa igihumeka cyose” kugeza bafashe ubutegetsi bwose mu 1994, ndetse barambuka bakomereza muri Zayire !  Ibitambo byatanzwe ku mpande zombi bibarirwa muri za miliyoni z’abahasize ubuzima, z’impfubyi n’abapfakazi; n’ibihumbi amagana by’inkomere , imfungwa n’impunzi.

Iyo inzira y’amahoro n’ibiganiro iza guhabwa agaciro, u Rwanda ntiruba rwarahindutse umuyonga nk’uko twabyiboneye n’amaso yacu, kugeza na n’ubu imitima y’Abanyarwanda benshi ikaba icyituriye mu gahinda, umujinya n’ubwoba bidashira . Habuze ubushake n’ubushishozi ,ba KAMARA bararikoze.

3.  None dore na   “ DEMOKARASI y’INKOTANYI” yibarutse “ikiburaburyo” gisa na  “ REPUBULIKA YA CYAMI NA GIHAKE” !

Guhera muri Nyakanga 1994, rubanda yakomeje gutegerezanya ukwizera kwinshi Demokarasi isesuye twari twarasezeranyijwe na FPR-Inkotanyi , ya  demokarasi yagombye ikiguzi cy’amaraso y’abana b’u Rwanda batagira umubare ! None dore  italiki irageze , nyuma y’imyaka 21, Demokarasi y’INKOTANYI ntibaye baringa gusa , ahubwo yibarutse ikiburaburyo ( un monstre) cyenda gusa na  “REPUBULIKA YA CYAMI na GIHAKE”!

Kubera ko FPR-Inkotanyi yafashe icyemezo ko ingingo y’101 y’Itegekonshinga ry’u Rwanda ryatowe mu 2003 igiye guhindurwa ngo kugira ngo Paul Kagame agume ku butegetsi “kuko ari we wenyine ushoboye kuyobora u Rwanda, akaba yaravukiye gutegeka naho abandi benegihugu bakagomba kumubera Abagereerwa  ubuziraherezo….”amagambo ashize ivuga.

Birumvikana ko Kagame agonze rwa rutare abamubanjirije baciriyeho amazuru : kwitiranya inyota ye bwite y’ubutegetsi n’ubushake bw’abenegihugu bose; kwitiranya nkana “rubanda itanga ubutegetsi” n’ubwoko cyangwa akarere bavukamo. Kagame we noneho yongeyeho n’agashya yihariye ko kwitiranya “rubanda itanga ubutegetsi” n’Agatsiko k’Abiru badashoboye bagizwe ahanini IBIGABO BY’IBINYABWOBA“ byitungiwe n’umwuga wo kuba INKOMAMASHYI. Harya ngo byashoboye gusinyisha ku ngufu abaturage basanga miliyoni ebyiri ? Nzaba mbarirwa ! Abo nyine mwasinyishije ku ngufu nibo bagiye kubibaryoza, nimutegereze gato .

Uko byamera kose biragaragarira buri wose ko icyaha gikomeye ari cya Paul Kagame ufashe icyemezo cyo gusubiza u Rwanda inyuma ho imyaka 53, akaba nibura atanashoboye kwiyita Umwami w’u Rwanda nk’abasekuruza be ngo bigire izina, ngo rubanda imenye uko itambira ingoma nshya ya Kagame wa mbere, ngo abahakwa bamenye uko bahakwa n’uko bazagabirwa…!

Turasanga iyi ngirwa DEMOKARASI y’INKOTANYI, iyi “demokarasi y’ibiseke by’ibipapuro bisinyishijwe rubanda ku ngufu”…., iyi yo nta kindi gitumye yaduka uretse gukungurira u Rwanda!  Turashishoza tukabona ko iyi “Demokarasi ya Kagame yo kubeshya amahanga”  igiye guteza indi ntambara ikarishye mu bana b’u Rwanda kuko tuzi neza ko umubare munini cyane ari uw’abenegihugu batemera kongera kugirwa Inkomamashyi n’Abagererwa indi myaka 400, bakaba nabo biteguye gusheta ubuzima bwabo barengera ubusugire bwa Repubulika, kandi nyine umubare wabo ukaba utambutse kure uw’abiyemeje kwitanga mu 1959, mu 1973, n’1990 ! Niba ubushishozi bwongeye kubura, ingingo y’101 igahindurwa, KAMARA arongeye araridukwegeye, nka ka Kamasa kazaca inka kazivukamo !

UMWANZURO

Guhindura ingingo y’101 y’itegekonshinga kugira ngo umuntu umwe witwa Paul Kagame akomeze abe Perezida w’u Rwanda mu nyungu ze bwite, ngo kuko nta wundi washobora kuyobora u Rwanda, ni cyo cyemezo kibi kurusha ibindi FPR igiye gufata!  Koko rero guhindura ingingo y’101 ni impamvu ihagije igiye guteza intambara  y’amasasu(causa belli) mu gihugu cyacu  . Paul Kagame n’umuryango we n’Ishyaka rye rya FPR-Inkotanyi bazirengere ingaruka zose zizakomoka  ku byemezo byabo byuzuye ubwikunde n’ubugwari bishobora gukururira igihugu cyacu mu ngorane zikomeye.

Gusa n’ubwo iki  kibazo cya “REPUBULIKA YA CYAMI NA GIHAKE“ kivutse  kandi kikaba ari ingorabahizi ,  haracyari ABATARIPFANA bacyizeye ko ibintu bitaradogera burundu, tukaba dusanga INZIRA y’AMAHORO igishobora gutanga ibisubizo bikwiye. Ariko kugira ngo u Rwanda rwirinde intambara yegereje hagomba gufatwa nibura ibyemezo by’ubwoko bune bikurikira

(1) Paul Kagame nazibukire gahunda yo guhindura ingingo y’101 no kwitangaho umukandinda mu matora yo mu 2017 kandi Itegekonshinga yishyiriyeho umukono ribimubuza

(2) Paul Kagame nafungure urubuga rwa politiki, imfungwa za politiki zose zirekurwe kandi zisubirane uburenganzira bwazo

(3)  Nihakurweho amananiza yose n’uburiganya bwabuza amatora y’umukuru w’igihugu yo mu 2017 gukorwa mu mucyo no mu bwisanzure.

(4) Paul Kagame nahamagare amashyaka yose ya Opozisiyo n’amashyirahamwe ya Societe Civile hakorwe ibiganiro ku mpinduka nziza igihugu cyacu gikenye.

(5) Paul Kagame nazibukire umuco mubi wo kurema no gushyigikira imitwe y’abicanyi igamije guhungabanya umutekano w’ibihugu duturanye cyane cyane UBURUNDI na Kongo.

Niba ibi byemezo bidafashwe mu maguru mashya , Abanyarwanda bakunda amahoro nibitegure bwangu kugira uruhare muri Revolisiyo ya karundura ariko itagamije gusesa amaraso y’abenegihugu. Koko rero Revolisiyo niyo nzira yonyine dusigaranye ishobora guhagarika umugambi mubisha w’Agatsiko gashaka guha ireme icyifuzo cy’abakeneye gushoza intambara y’amasasu .

Twamaganye twivuye inyuma ihindurwa ry’ingingo y’101 hagamijwe kwimika “Repubulika ya Cyami na gihake” iharanira inyungu za Paul Kagame n’ABIRU be bonyine bonyine.

Nta KAMARA ubaho kuri iyi si…..Kagame si KAMARA …..U Rwanda rwabayeho ataravuka, azapfa arusige.

Banyarwandakazi, Banyarwanda  nimukanguke, mushishoze maze mutabare igihugu cyanyu !

Imana ikomeze irengere u Rwanda n’Abanyarwanda, idutize imbaraga zo kwirinda umwiryane n’intambara zisesa amaraso.

EU: Rights Abuses at Home Drive Mediterranean Crisis

Leave a reply

téléchargement (1)Migrants Detail Horrors That Caused Them to Flee

(Brussels) – Human rights abuses in their home countries are the driving force behind the surge in boat migration in the Mediterranean to reach Europe, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. EU leaders should put human rights at the heart of its response. EU leaders will meet on June 25 and 26, 2015, to discuss European Commission proposals toward a “European Migration Agenda.”

The 33-page report, “The Mediterranean Migration Crisis: Why People Flee, What the EU Should Do,” documents the human rights abuses driving people to make the dangerous sea crossing and the shortcomings of EU migration and asylum policies. The report is based on over 150 interviews in May with recently-arrived migrants and asylum seekers in Italy – Lampedusa, Catania, and Milan – andGreece – the islands of Lesbos, Chios, Samos, Leros, and Kos. The conclusions are also based on extensive Human Rights Watch research in Syria,Eritrea, Afghanistan, and Somalia – the home countries of many of those arriving by sea.

“The majority of those crossing the Mediterranean are taking terrible risks because they have to, not because they want to,” said Judith Sunderland, senior Western Europe researcher at Human Rights Watch and author of the report. “Saving lives and increasing safe pathways into Europe should be the EU’s priorities, while ensuring that all cooperation with countries of origin and transit countries respects international human rights standards.”

Interactive Map (Click to Launch): Migration journeys to the European Union

Over 100,000 migrants and asylum seekers have crossed the Mediterranean since the beginning of 2015. According to the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, over 60 percent of those taking the journey come from Syria, Somalia, and Afghanistan, countries torn apart by war and generalized political violence, or from Eritrea, which is ruled by a highly repressive government. Asylum seekers, including children, from these four countries who arrived in Italy and Greece in May described to Human Rights Watch the indiscriminate fighting, threats from insurgent groups such as the Taliban, Al-Shabaab, and ISIS, forced conscription and recruitment by armed groups, attacks on schools, and other abuses that forced them to flee.

Mubarek, from Parwan, in northern Afghanistan, left the country with his wife and three young sons in March to escape the Taliban. “Every day the Taliban would take people and children for suicide bombings,” he said. “I was worried about my children, my sons, that they would be forced to become suicide bombers.”

While many of those coming from other countries – Nigeria, The Gambia, Senegal, Mali – want to improve their economic opportunities or to live in more open and safe societies, some among them may be fleeing persecution or other serious harm. Some migrants who have lived in Libya since before the current hostilities broke out in May 2014, are fleeing insecurity and violence there.

Every year thousands of unaccompanied children make the journey across the Mediterranean without parents or other caregivers. In 2014, over 10,500 children traveled alone to Italy by sea. In Greece, over 1,100 unaccompanied children were registered in 2014.

The International Organization for Migration has identified the Mediterranean as the world’s deadliest migration route. The EU has recently taken some positive steps to save lives in the Mediterranean, but it remains focused primarily on ways to limit arrivals to European shores. But the severe human rights situations that people are fleeing shows why the EU’s priorities need to change, Human Rights Watch said.

The EU should maintain robust search and rescue operations as long as they are necessary, Human Rights Watch said. It should significantly increase the number of people resettled in the EU under UNHCR programs from the 20,000 proposed by the European Commission. EU countries should endorse and fully carry out the commission’s proposal to relocate 40,000 asylum seekers within the EU to share responsibility for asylum seekers more equitably across the EU.

UNCHR has asked the international community to resettle at least 130,000 Syrian refugees. The EU has pledged to resettle 45,000 but can respond more generously to the Syrian crisis as well as to other protracted refugee crises, Human Rights Watch said.

The deaths of over 1,000 migrants at sea within a week in April spurred positive, if belated, EU action to step up search and rescue efforts in the central Mediterranean. The EU should sustain this collective effort in the long term to minimize deaths at sea, and ensure that those rescued are brought to safe EU ports where those seeking asylum will have the opportunity for fair consideration of their claims, Human Rights Watch said.

In May the European Commission issued proposals for a “European Agenda on Migration.” The agenda includes some positive steps that if implemented fully – and more generously – could help save lives, ensure safer access to international protection in the EU, and correct distortions in the EU’s asylum system that affect the rights of asylum seekers, Human Rights Watch said. However, most of the commission’s agenda involves reinforcing measures to limit arrivals to the EU.

EU respect for international law and human rights norms should inform and shape its current and future deliberations on migration and asylum policies as well as its approach to boat migration in the Mediterranean, Human Rights Watch said. The right to life and protection against refoulement – the return to persecution, torture, or ill-treatment – are cornerstone rights of international human rights architecture. In addition to these rights, the European Convention on Human Rights guarantees the rights to liberty and security, the right to an effective remedy, and the right to privacy and family life. Enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the right to leave any country, including one’s own, is key to ensuring the right to seek asylum. This is also guaranteed in the EU’s binding Charter of Fundamental Rights.

In advance of the EU Council on June 25-26, Human Rights Watch said, EU leaders should support farther-reaching proposals to increase safe and legal channels into the EU. These measures should include significantly expanding resettlement for refugees identified by the UNHCR, facilitated family reunification to enable people already in the EU to bring family members there, and the increased use of humanitarian visas to enable people in need of international protection to travel lawfully to the EU to apply for asylum.

Over the long term, the EU should ensure that cooperation with sending and transit countries does not effectively trap people in abusive situations, prevent them from accessing fair asylum procedures, or lead to refoulement. And the EU should use its influence and resources more effectively to address the major drivers of migration, including systematic human rights violations, poverty, inequitable development, weak governance, and violent conflict and lawlessness.

“There are no easy solutions to the terrible abuse and hardship that force people to leave their countries or the cruelty they face on the journeys,” Sunderland said. “This is a difficult challenge for the EU but one where human rights must take center stage.”

As with Dr. Faustus, who sold his soul to Satan, Kagame’s admirers will be bitterly disappointed.

kagame-and-troops

For Western governments, financiers and opinion leaders, Rwandan president Paul Kagame offers a Faustian bargain: Overlook my brutal behavior, and I will offer you a model for economic growth in an African nation.

As with Dr. Faustus, who sold his soul to Satan, Kagame’s admirers will be bitterly disappointed.

While sacrificing human rights on the altar of economic growth, Kagame is delivering neither democracy nor prosperity.

Kagame’s descent into despotism has been documented by respected sources, ranging from Human Rights Watch to the US State Department. In recent years, a growing number of Kagame’s critics have died under mysterious circumstances, even in exile. Opposition political parties and independent newspapers have been suppressed. Many Rwandans have fled the country, while many more have been scared into silence.

All the while, Rwanda receives almost a billion dollars annually in foreign aid from the United States, the United Kingdom and their allies, and Kagame continues to receive invitations to prestigious conferences from Davos to the White House.
While Kagame’s apologists boast that he has achieved an “economic miracle,” Rwanda’s performance remains mired in mediocrity. Having served as Kagame’s head of policy and strategy, I resigned not only because he was tyrannizing the nation, but also because he asked me to tamper with the truth about the economy.
Here are the facts that Kagame can’t falsify: After 14 years of Kagame’s leadership, Rwanda remains one of the smallest economies in East Africa. While Kenya’s annual per capita income is $1,200 and Tanzania’s is $695, Rwanda’s is only $630.
Far from moving forward, Rwanda’s economy remains largely informal, with most of the economically active population of 5.5 million still struggling to survive on subsistence agriculture, just like their parents and grandparents before them. Employment in the formal economy is only a little more than 300,000. Rwanda’s private sector is tiny, with tax-paying firms hovering around 113,200, of which only 354 (or 0.3%) are ”large taxpayers” with an annual turnover of $1.4 million.

Meanwhile, crony capitalism is on the rise. Crystal Ventures Ltd. (CVL), controlled by the investment arm of Kagame’s ruling party, has become, in its own words, “the biggest investment company in the country.” Its holdings include concrete products, construction, real estate development, telecommunications, agriculture, aviation, security services, printing and publishing, furniture trading, manufacturing, property management and engineering.

How does this disappointing economic performance translate into Rwandans’ living standards? On two crucial social indicators—education and health—Rwanda falls short. 

Because of its small tax base, Rwanda is dependent on foreign assistance. Of the national government’s $2.4 billion budget for 2014/2015, $777 million will come from development aid from overseas. Rwanda has the highest foreign aid per capita in east Africa—$77 per person, compared to Burundi’s $53, Kenya’s $61, Tanzania’s $59 and Uganda’s $46.

While foreign governments contribute almost 40% of Rwanda’s budget, foreign direct investment from private sources is small. In 2013, Rwanda received only $110 million in foreign direct investment, compared to $1.8 billion for Tanzania, $1.1 billion for Uganda and $514 million for Kenya.
Far from being a powerhouse in the global economy, Rwanda’s trade deficit is growing, having reached $443.1 million during the last quarter of 2013 alone, while its exports are declining. From January through September 2014, exports were valued at $247 million—a 10.5% decline from the same period in 2013.
How does this disappointing economic performance translate into Rwandans’ living standards? On two crucial social indicators—education and health—Rwanda falls short.

In education, Rwanda may be pursing the quantity of enrollment over the quality of learning. According to the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID), which has put considerable resources into Rwanda’s education: “To achieve near-universal primary enrollment but with a large majority of pupils failing to attain basic levels of literacy or numeracy is not, in our view, a successful development result. It represents poor value for money…”

Meanwhile, according to the World Health Organization, the ratio of health workers per 10,000 people in Rwanda is 0.6 for physicians, 6.9 for nurses/midwives, and 0.1 for dentists. This is far below the African average: 2.6 physicians, 12 nurses/midwives and 0.5 dentists per 10,000 people.
The failure of Rwanda’s Faustian bargain—trading democracy for development and ending up with neither—should come as no surprise to students of history and human nature.

A dictator who can’t be questioned; an elite that dominates the economy; and an atmosphere of anxiety—these are not the formula for economic growth. In Africa as elsewhere, people do their best work in an environment of freedom, not fear.

Press Statement

John Kerry
Secretary of State

Washington, DC

June 18, 2015

World Refugee Day, marked on June 20, is a time to honor those who flee violence and persecution and those who help them on their journey.

It’s almost unfathomable that nearly 60 million men, women and children are now displaced inside and outside of their countries. That is the largest number the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has ever counted and 8 million more than the record set just one year ago. We’ve seen haunting images of Syrian families fleeing indiscriminate barrel bombings and young children rescued at sea after days without food. Escaping from bullets, bombs, or machetes is often just the beginning of the ordeal. Refugees remain in exile for an average of 17 years. Some are born and grow up in camps and never get to leave them.

I’ll never forget meeting with refugee leaders on my recent trip to Kenya, where 350,000 mainly Somali refugees live in a remote, dusty camp complex called Dadaab. By video link to Nairobi, I spoke to a group Dadaab’s best students. They told me how they dream of attending university and pursuing careers in medicine, politics and human rights. But they also shared their fears that they would end up trapped and jobless, and that all their striving would be in vain. We cannot let that happen.

For those scattered by violence and oppression, the United States is and will remain their most fervent defender. I am proud that U.S. humanitarian assistance exceeded $6 billion dollars last year. The United States is the world’s leading donor of humanitarian aid, and resettles more refugees than any other nation. The resilience, determination, and achievements of the millions resettled here in the United States prove the value and importance of our work. People who have been uprooted deserve more than food, shelter, and medical care. They deserve dignity and respect and the opportunity to build a better future.

We have a duty to the millions stranded away from home, not just to preserve life, but to safeguard hope.

“I will commit suicide if Kagame is not allowed to run for president” pledges a skeleton

President Paul Kagame, after unjustly garnering numerous praises for a so called economic growth, is trying to tamper with the constitution so that a third term is allowed for him to run for president coming 2017 campaign. Maybe to keep accumulating praises! The current constitution states that under no circumstances nobody shall be allowed to run for presidency after two mandates. Note that one presidential term in Rwanda is 7 years, meaning that two terms equal 14 years. Brief, after two terms, a Rwandan president will have been in power six more years than a US president who finishes his two terms.

With Paul Kagame, it has been even more. This man, who took power via armed struggle and after bloodshed of four years between 1990 and 1994, gave himself a post of vice president in order to fool the world that his ambitions were not to be in control. However everybody knows that Bizimungu Pateur also nicknamed a “Hutu of service” didn’t have any power since he had to be dictated what to do or say. It is in 2000 that Bizimungu had it enough to be used like a robot and resigned. Kagame sent him in jail few after.

Kagame took over since 2000, elected President of Rwanda by the national assembly. It is under him that the current constitution was prepared by his close acolytes and inner circle. They thought that by fixing a seven year presidential term renewable once would be enough. It was visible that 7 years was too much while in neighboring countries this term does not go beyond 5 years.

Coming 2017, Kagame will have been in power for 23 years (18 years officially). His thirst is however unquenched still. He needs more terms! He cannot find any reason to advance. This time he can no longer hide his love of being in power. He doesn’t care about  the “stupid” praises he got in the past. He can no longer hide who he really is. He is calculated a better way to initiate the amendment project. So he is sending his secret and armed services in all villages to force the poor people to sign a pre-conceived form to petition the parliament for a constitutional reform so that Kagame can lead until his death. All the public servants are ordered to sign and threatened to be fired if they refuse to do so. All project managers and workers, be it public or private, all business people, all students, and funny enough all prisoners, etc are ordered to sign this petition. A few who have resisted, either disappeared or were found dead, and investigation was ever pushed for. The only group of people still to sign the petition and whose view is likely to make Kagame run for the next term comprises the psychiatric patients, and the dead!

We are simply saying that Kagame should stop this nonsense. While he is claiming that the people has said, we are telling him, that the people chose for him (if they ever did) to be the leader and not the other way round. The role of a leader, especially in a country where the illiteracy rate is about 40%, is to assist the people to build strong institutions and set path for sustainability of whatever achievement is in place. Based on information at hand, the leader is in a better position to even refute popular demands once they are not in the national interest. Instead of garnering a big number of signatures from uneducated people or from traumatized servants, a leader should listen to the elite especially who are not in the government. As for those who are serving in the government, they are in a conflict of interest situation, and so their input can be biased.

Ms Aurore S. has just initiated a petition to ask the United Nations to use its influence on Kagame so that the Rwandan national assembly led by an RPF member, does not amend the constitution. She is calling on everybody who wishes well to Rwanda, to Rwandans and to the whole region of great lakes of Africa to sign this petition. By signing this http://https://secure.avaaz.org/fr/petition/Organisation_de_Nations_Unies_Pas_de_modification_de_la_constitution_Rwandaise_surtout_larticle_101_1/?tPENWgb,  you are saying that:

  1. Rwanda is a republic and not a monarchy
  2. A peaceful political changeover is the pillar to democratic institutions
  3. Rwanda needs strong institutions and not strong men.
  4. Rwanda needs a new president in 2017.
  5. Stop RPF from torturing the people in attempt to have them sign for the third term for Paul Kagame.
  6. Article # 101 of the constitution is untouchable.

Thank you for signing.

“Do Block the parliament from changing the constitution” The DGPR says to Supreme Court

Leave a reply

Dr.Frank Habineza, with the Press at the Rwandan Parliament

The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda has today, the 3rd of June 2015, filed a lawsuit to the Supreme Court, demanding the Court to Block Parliament from any future plans of changing the constitution, specifically, regarding the lifting of presidential term limits from the Constitution.

Article 101 of the constitution stipulates that:

‘The President of the Republic is elected for a term of seven years renewable only once.

Under no circumstances shall a person hold the office of President of Republic for more than two terms’.

DGPR strongly believes that Article 193, concerning amendments to the Constitution, does not allow the change of term limits from the stated two (2) to any other number.

The Article only allows a reduction or an increase on the lengths of the term of office, which in this case is seven (7) years. This can be reduced to either five or be increased from seven to any other number for example eight (8).

Article, 193, clearly states that, ‘ …if the constitutional amendment concerns the term of the President of the Republic…., the amendment must be passed by referendum….’ This article, clarifies that, the concerned term of office for the President, is the one ofseven years and not any other thing else.

The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda demands the Supreme Court:

  1. To order the Rwandan Parliament not to change Article 101 of the Constitution;
  2. To confirm that no referendum is required for those wishing to remove term limits from the Constitution;
  3. To confirm that Article 193 does not allow the amendment of Article 101 regarding the number of terms of office of the President of the Republic of Rwanda;
  4. To confirm that Article 101 is Intangible (ntayegayezwa) and cannot be changed by a referendum;
  5. To confirm that, the term of office of the President, mentioned in Article 193, does not concern the number of times, a President can be elected for but the lengths of the term of office of the President, which is currently 7 years and can be reduced to five years or increased to 8 years;
  6. To provide in-depths interpretation of Article 101 and 193 of the Constitution of the Republic of Rwanda.

The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda was officially launched on 14th August 2009 as an opposition party. It got official registration on 9th August 2013 and accepted as a member of the National Consultative Forum of Political Organisations in Rwanda on 3rd April 2014.

DGPR’s Status were published in the official gazette of the Republic of Rwanda on 4th August 2014.

COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE  No ISHEMA2015/05/01

RWANDA : Un coup d’Etat Constitutionnel en cours

  1. Compte tenu de l’atmosphère délétère qui accompagne les magouilles éhontées mises en œuvre par le parti au pouvoir  à Kigali pour permettre au Président Paul Kagame  de concourir pour un troisième septennat, lors du scrutin de 2017,
  2. Le Parti ISHEMA (parti d’opposition) et ses alliés de la «Nouvelle Génération»  condamnent avec la plus grande énergie la mascarade politique et les entorses à la procédure légale qui risquent d’entériner une révision anticonstitutionnelle, inopportune et indésirable de l’article 101 de la Constitution rwandaise.
  3. En effet, aujourd’hui plus qu’hier, tout rwandais, du plus vieux au plus jeune, a pu retenir par cœur les mots de cet article si sacré : « Le Président de la République est élu pour un mandat de sept ans renouvelable une seule fois. En aucun cas, nul ne peut exercer plus de deux mandats présidentiels ».
  4. Or, selon les informations en notre possession, le régime de Paul Kagamé investit actuellement tous les villages , établissements scolaires,  associations, organismes étatiques et sociétés privées,  pour terroriser la population en vue d’obtenir d’elle,  sous la menace, des signatures individuelles d’un formulaire pré-rempli sous forme de pétition,  demandant au parlement rwandais de réviser sans délai cet article 101 de la Constitution de 2003  qui limite irrévocablement à deux le nombre de mandats présidentiels.
  5. Pire encore, comme le formulaire en question le laisse constater, cette révision n’est motivée ni par le souci de promouvoir l’État de droit, ni par la sauvegarde de l’intérêt général, mais plutôt par le maintien du prestige personnel de Paul Kagame qui rêve de se voir offrir la possibilité de devenir légalement le Président  à vie de la république du Rwanda.
  6. Nous nous inscrivons donc en faux contre ce « Coup d’État Constitutionnel » en cours qui risque de replonger le Rwanda, à peine reconstruit, dans la violence et l’instabilité.
  7. Nous en appelons à la condamnation rapide et à la pression ferme de la part de la Communauté Internationale en vue de contenir à temps les débordements qu’une initiative aussi injuste ne manquera pas de provoquer.
  8. Nous mettons en garde les « soutiens inconditionnels » de Paul Kagame et leur rappelons que leur responsabilité serait considérée comme engagée s’ils n’arrivaient pas, cette fois-ci, à se désolidariser de leur protégé alors que son goût démesuré du pouvoir et son mépris de la Constitution venait à pousser dans la révolte et le chaos ce peuple rwandais épuisé par 21 années de dictature militaire féroce.
  9. Nous exhortons les citoyens rwandais à se lever comme un seul homme et manifester, partout et par tous les moyens, leur réprobation envers cette « monarchie républicaine » que Paul Kagame est en train d’instaurer dans notre pays.
  10. Le peuple rwandais veut des élections libres et démocratiques pour 2017, seul l’ennemi de la nation pourrait l’en priver.

Fait à Paris, ce 29 mai 2015.

Pour le parti ISHEMA,

Candidat aux élections présidentielles de 2017.

2017: The Famous Article #101 of Rwandan Constitution, Touch it at Your Own Peril

7BBBCA0D-80AB-422E-87DD-FD3F3D83CFCA_w640_r1_s

In his attempt to condone a wicked intention to sell the idea of a third term in favor of Paul Kagame at expense of democracy, Joseph Rwagatare wrote in the pro- government newspaper The New Times that not the term limits, rather the track record counts whilst determining who should and should not be elected or reelected. Rwagatare misses the point and, purposely or not, misleads the readers to make us believe that a political party means exclusively its leader. Far from the truth!

It is true that a particular political party could get reelected in subsequent campaigns. The leaders as individuals, however, must have limitations on electability because of main reasons that vary from one society to another.  I intend to explain below to underline once for all that in a society like ours, given our far and recent historical experience, the culture of peaceful political changeover must be privileged. It is imperative unless we forgot where we come from.

  1. The Law and its intention

Although the law is one thing necessary in a society, its applicability and implementation should remain in accord with its intention. For instance, here we are talking about the presidential term limit. All anyone can read in the constitution is that famous article #101 which states that

“The President of the Republic is elected for a term of seven years renewable only once. Under no circumstances shall a person hold the office of President of Republic for more than two terms”.

This is what the law says. It is the law. Much more however, is hidden behind that piece of information: the intention. Why did the people vote for the president to have no more than two terms? This is what Mr Rwagatare, the RPF, President Paul Kagame and his acolytes should be reminding the folks who ignorantly or forcedly are tirelessly calling for tampering with the constitution in order to reinstitute Kagame once or more times again.

To answer, let us remember: Going back into our history from the kingdom time via the first and second republics to the RPF’s regime, we were unlucky to experience leaders who wanted or were forced either by beliefs, entourage or greed, to be in charge until they die. Let me remind Rwagatare that no King could be enthroned in presence of his predecessor. The elder had to die either naturally or killed. The same tradition passed over into republican regimes. Habyarimana felt insecure in presence of Kayibanda. Kagame could not be in power in presence of Habyarimana. In fact, the RPF took up arms alleging Habyarimana amongst other things that he had remained in power for so long, although he was repetitively elected at 99%! Had we respected the Arusha peace accords, Habyarimana would have gained other good two terms. Trust me!

With that in mind, the 2003 constitution intended to avoid similar scenarios. It was considered that an individual is born and dead but a nation remains. Thus the nation can live, prosper and develop tremendously even without that particular individual.  That is why the article 101 intended to encourage leaders to respect the fact that no one is irreplaceable and to dissuade them to hold on power indefinitely because this could generate conflicts, wars and possibly genocides. Another important dream was that from that time on, Rwanda would have an ex president deservedly able to serve as a councilor owed to experience and with the hope to retire peacefully thereafter.

It is now I realize clearly that Kagame never dreamt of initiating good changes to set antecedence that further generations would follow. In fact the same Kagame who was there in 2003 when the constitution was in the making, the same Kagame who claimed that he will not be there as president come 2017, is the same one who thinks a third term is not a bad thing. Somebody say, “Shame on you Mr President”!

For some naïve observers and commentators, I hope Rwagatare is not among, “Kagame does not want it but the people want him”. Democracy is defined as a power of the people, by the people  and for the people. Hence, the people have a powerful capacity which is bestowed upon them especially on the day of elections: the capacity to choose a leader of their interests.  Everyone knows that in a police state like Rwanda the democracy does not exist, and so that capacity is banned not only via elections but also even during brainstorming of ideas to make policies that run the affairs of the nation. We have seen it every day; we saw it in reports that shouted out the RPF-led assassination of freedom of speech, strangulation of independent media and impediment to rights of association.

The capacity to choose leaders is also threatened by the dictatorial micro management groups, armed or not, whose role is to force the people to vote against their will and to rig elections using any form of strategy in favor of the incumbent. But now the RPF wants to show us that last night the people dreamt “well”, woke up and coincidently the government allowed them to speak out: “we want Kagame back”. Funny enough! That kind of games is known to us, thou shall not lie. If Kagame does not step down, the RPF will have wasted a golden opportunity to show that it can do at least one good thing during its lifetime.

  1. The human nature

If Rwagatare were promised a very beautiful gift on a condition that he reaches 200 years alive, he clearly would realize that the promise is untenable. Why? Because we know that in our days, no one lives for two centuries. It is the same for political parties and their leaders.

A political party is born, grows up and dies. When it is born it is too young to deliver, when it grows up it matures and performs well but after some time it gets too old to run the country. At that time, the party cannot offer anything. It starts deteriorating and fails its early and own principles which eventually attracted the people to trust it. Even when it claims to rejuvenate itself, the young minds are overshadowed by old folks who think they have experience, thus they should take the lead indefinitely.

A leader gets too old as well and too tired to keep doing a good job (if he ever did any). That is a natural reality we are faced with. Accepting it does not mean you are not the hero you claim to be or that you are not loved by the people. By the way, it is not a matter of love given the tough and quasi impossible tasks assigned to the leader. If they loved him, they would let him retire and if he loved Rwanda, he would refuse to take an extra term.

In conclusion

The people of Rwanda should revisit the reasons that made them vote the constitution that included the article 101 (assuming they really voted for it). If Kagame does not step down, he will have satisfied his ego but at expense of all economic growth and other things he has been praised for. What if the people stepped in to say “no” to this man? As a matter of fact, they are ready, willing and able to take their destiny in hands. Friends of Rwanda (not of Kagame alone) have already demonstrated their undoubted support to the blowing wind of change.  A bon entendeur, salut!
