“Criminals” in Rwanda: Kagame Contemplates Indicting the BBC for “Genocide Denial” Peter Erlinder, Victoire Ingabire, and the BBC

carte_rwanda

Peter Erlinder, Victoire Ingabire, and the BBC are all criminals in Rwanda.

President Paul Kagame has accused all three of genocide denial and his Chief Prosecutor may even indict the BBC.

Transcript:

KPFA Weekend News Anchor David Rosenberg: Rwanda’s Chief Prosecutor, Martin Ngoga, and a special Rwandan commission are now investigating the BBC for the crime of – quote unquote – “genocide denial.” Ngoga investigated and indicted US attorney Peter Erlinder after his arrest in Rwanda in May 2010, and Rwandan political prisoner Victoire Ingabire after her arrest in October 2010, also for the crime of so-called “genocide denial.” The BBC, however, is not in prison in Rwanda, as Peter Erlinder was and as Victoire Ingabire remains. KPFA’s Ann Garrison spoke to Peter Erlinder.

KPFA/Ann Garrison: Peter Erlinder, could you explain why you were in prison in Rwanda, in 2010?

Peter Erlinder: I went to Rwanda to consult with Victoire Ingabire, who was a presidential candidate at that time, who had been charged with genocide denial because she had asked why the Hutu victims weren’t remembered on the memorials to genocide victims. And I found myself charged with genocide denial because of stories and commentary that I had written in the international press and because of statements that I made about the acquittal of the Hutu leaders of the Habyarimana government, who had been acquitted of planning and conspiracy to commit genocide by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.

KPFA: And you were in prison for how long before the international campaign secured your release?

Erlinder: I was in prison for approximately a month.

KPFA: OK, now I’m going to play a clip including Victoire Ingabire’s voice, from the BBC documentary “Rwanda: The Untold Story”:

BBC: Rwanda’s institutions have been used by Paul Kagame to stifle dissent. Hutu opposition leader Victoire Ingabire returned from exile in 2010 to stand against the president in the last election.

Victoire Ingabire: There is no justice in Rwanda. There is no democracy in Rwanda. People are afraid to say what they think. We have to talk about what happened in Rwanda in 1994.

BBC: Ingabire never made it to the polls. She asked why there were no memorials to the Hutus who died.  She got eight years in prison, for genocide ideology. [Raised to 15 years on appeal.]

KPFA: Now Peter, Rwanda has already banned the BBC’s native Kinyarwanda language broadcast, as it did in 2009, after again, accusing it of genocide denial.

Erlinder: And what I might say about that is that, of course, what that means is that Kinyarwanda speakers cannot hear the debate about the BBC broadcast. So it really doesn’t hurt the BBC, but it does prevent the Rwandan people from hearing the debate about the documentary.

KPFA: And, if Rwandan Chief Prosecutor Ngoga indicts the BBC and/or its producers, they would be unable to do any more on-the ground reporting in Rwanda without risking arrest.

Erlinder: It would cut off the flow of information to the Rwandan people about their own government completely.

KPFA: That was Peter Erlinder on the Rwandan government’s decision to investigate and possibly indict the BBC for “genocide denial.”

Burkina : comment les chefs d’État africains voient la chute de Compaoré

 Goodluck Jonathan (à g.), Macky Sall et Isaac Zida (centre), le 5 novembre à Ouagadougou.

D’Alassane Ouattara à Boni Yayi, en passant par Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta, Faure Gnassingbé ou Alpha Condé… Tous n’ont pas le même avis sur le départ de Compaoré.

De tous les chefs d’État africains, le plus affecté par la chute de Blaise Compaoré est certainement l’Ivoirien Alassane Ouattara. Entre les deux hommes, la relation était stratégique. De bonne source, le jour de sa chute, le 31 octobre, Blaise a téléphoné à son ami ivoirien pour lui demander asile et recevoir protection dans sa fuite. Aussitôt, Alassane Ouattara a appelé François Hollande afin que la France prête hélicoptère et avion au fugitif.

Après son arrivée à Yamoussoukro, le Burkinabè a reçu deux fois la visite du président ivoirien, les 1er et 4 novembre. Autre ami très marqué par l’événement, Guillaume Soro, le président de l’Assemblée nationale ivoirienne. Le Front populaire ivoirien (FPI) de Laurent Gbagbo, lui, dénonce “l’exil doré” accordé par la Côte d’Ivoire.

Qui se désole de la chute de Blaise ?

En Afrique centrale, tous les chefs d’État, ou presque. En Afrique de l’Ouest en revanche, très peu de monde. À l’exception d’Alassane Ouattara, bien sûr, et de son homologue togolais, Faure Gnassingbé, qui doit redouter une propagation de l’onde de choc jusqu’à Lomé. “Blaise avait la particularité d’être accessible à tout le monde, confie avec un brin de nostalgie le ministre d’un État d’Afrique de l’Ouest. Quand j’étais dans l’opposition, il me recevait souvent à sa table. Mais ce n’était pas seulement pour mes beaux yeux. Selon lui, tout opposant pouvait faire naître la subversion chez l’un de ses partenaires et l’affaiblir. Le Burkina était riche de ses voisins.”

C’est sans doute au Mali que l’événement est le mieux accueilli. Le Rassemblement pour le Mali (RPM), du président Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta (IBK), “apprécie le geste héroïque du peuple burkinabè […] contre une dictature de plus de vingt-sept ans”. Commentaire d’un proche d’IBK : “Nous ne pardonnons pas à Blaise d’avoir accordé le gîte et le couvert à tous les chefs rebelles du Nord-Mali. Son départ va faciliter les négociations d’Alger.”

Au Niger, même son de cloche. Sur la BBC en langue haoussa, Mohamed Bazoum, le ministre des Affaires étrangères, a lâché : “Ce qui s’est passé doit servir de leçon aux chefs d’État qui veulent se maintenir trop longtemps au pouvoir.” Mahamadou Issoufou se frotte les mains à l’idée que son opposant Hama Amadou ne puisse plus se réfugier au Burkina Faso.

En Mauritanie, l’Union pour la République (UPR, au pouvoir) félicite les Burkinabè “pour la réalisation du triomphe des peuples africains contre la tyrannie”. Mohamed Ould Abdelaziz se réjouit quant à lui de voir son opposant Limam Chafi, proche conseiller de Compaoré, errer désormais entre Abidjan et Rabat.

Pas de réaction officielle en Guinée, car Alpha Condé était à la fois très proche de Blaise et très inquiet devant son obstination à rester au pouvoir. “Cela va très mal se passer”, prédisait-il ces dernières semaines.

Pas de commentaire non plus au Bénin. Mais subitement, Boni Yayi retrouve des mots simples pour dire qu’il n’essaiera pas de briguer un troisième mandat en 2016. “Je ne toucherai pas à ma Constitution. Je le jure”, a-t-il déclaré le 3 novembre sur France 24. “L’an dernier, à chaque fois qu’il le disait aussi clairement, il recevait un coup de fil menaçant de Ouagadougou, explique l’un de ses proches. Aujourd’hui, Blaise ne peut plus lui pourrir la vie.”

Roman Catholic Church calls for revocation of parliamentary suspension

Alleyene

Bishop Farncis Alleyne

The Roman Catholic Church in Guyana on Tuesday broke its more than two-decade long silence on the political environment here by announcing that it woud re-establish a pressure group and calling on President Donald Ramotar to revoke the suspension of Parliament.

“I, therefore, call on all Guyanese and their leaders to ensure that we navigate these uncertain times peacefully, honestly and respectfully with a view to the earliest resumption of parliamentary democracy,” said Bishop Francis Alleyne in a statement.

The Roman Catholic Church, Organisation of American States (OAS) and the local non-governmental organisation, Blue CAPS, separately called on Ramotar to lift the suspension of the Parliament.

Prior to the 1992 general and regional elections that saw the return of the incumbent People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPPC) to office after almost 30 years in opposition due to rigged elections, the Roman Catholic and Anglican Churches had been harshly critical of the social, political and economic environments at that time. The President and his ruling PPPC have maintained that the prorogation of the Parliament on Monday would pave the way for dialogue on key national issues rather than the dissolution and calling of fresh elections in 90 days.

The opposition Alliance For Change (AFC) and  A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) have, however, vowed to bring back the no-confidence motion and other pending matters whenever the President lifts the suspension during the maximum allowable six month period.  During that time, he can also dissolve the Parliament at any time and name election day which could be in late January before the list expires at the end of that month.

Bishop Alleyne also used the opportunity to announce the church’s re-establishment of the Justice and Peace Commission, considered in some quarters as a vocal pressure group of the Roman Catholic Diocese. He said Commission members, Gino Persaud and Lawrence Lachmansingh,  have been mandated to engage parishes to pray, reflect, discuss and discern the urgings of the Holy Spirit as it relates to justice and peace in Guyana.

The Bishop urged all Guyanese to join hands and find solutions to both the immediate impasse and the longer-term causes that led to this crisis. He pledged his support for initiatives that bring people together in common cause for their beloved country.

Alleyne admitted that the Catholic Church here has in former times been in the forefront to promote justice and peace in Guyana, but suggested the need for institutional and relational strengthening.”We must find new ways of relating to each other, and better structures to support and encourage those improved relations,” he said.

The Roman Catholic Bishop identified reconciliation and trust as being critical to restoring and building Guyana.

Tabling of the no-confidence motion by the AFC has stemmed from what that party has said has been the Finance Minister’s spending of monies from the Consolidated Fund on projects and programmes that were not approved by the opposition. The AFC and APNU are also upset that the President has refused to assent Bills and honour Motions passed by the opposition-controlled National Assembly.

The AFC has seven seats while APNU has 26, with the remaining 32 occupied by the PPP.

Kikwete undergoes surgery in US

tezi

President Jakaya Kikwete chats with Dr Edward Shaeffer on arrival at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in the US for surgery.

Dar es Salaam. President Jakaya Kikwete has been successfully operated on in the United States, Ikulu announced yesterday.

An official a statement issued by the Directorate of Presidential Communication said the Head of State had underwent a prostate surgery at the John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.

Mr Kikwete left the country on Thursday evening for the US for what his handlers said was a medical check-up. The operation under specialist doctors was carried out on Saturday and lasted one and a half hours.

The State House said medical experts who checked the President recommended a surgery.

“The operation took about one hour and a half…..it has been a successful surgery. The President is doing well though he is still in the ward under close supervision of doctors for further observation,” the statement noted.

The communiqué pledged that Tanzanians will be given proper updates with regard to the health of their leader.

The prostate is an organ forming part of the male reproductive system. It is located immediately below the bladder and just in front of the bowel. Its main function is to produce fluid which protects and enriches sperm.

In younger men, the prostate is about the size of a walnut. It is doughnut shaped as it surrounds the beginning of the urethra, the tube that conveys urine from the bladder to the male organ. The nerves that control erections surround the prostate.

Guyana: President Donald Ramotar prorogues the Parliament…

téléchargement

President Donald Ramotar on Monday kept to his much anticipated promise and prorogued the Parliament but the 65-seat National Assembly could very well still meet later in the afternoon because the Speaker Raphael Trotman has not received a copy of the Official Gazette of the proclamation.

Trotman told Caribbean News Desk that he was not ruling out going ahead with a sitting of the House if he did not receive a copy of the gazette.  A spokeswoman for A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) said their 26 parliamentarians would still be going to the Assembly Monday afternoon at 2 PM.

In an address to the Nation, the President defended his decision to suspend Parliament for up to a maximum of six months.
“Some may ask why is it that my government has gone this Constitutional route and not go along with the debate.  The answer lies in the practical choice between an atmosphere of confrontation, as the no confidence motion debate would fuel, or that of possible accommodation, as a prorogued Parliament can facilitate, if there is a genuine intent on all sides.”

Bearing the signature of the Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon, the proclamation reads: “Whereas a session of the Tenth Parliament of Guyana was summoned by proclamation on dated 9th January, Two thousand and twelve

And whereas it is provided by Article 70 (1) of the Constitution that the President may at any time prorogue Parliament;

Now, therefore, in exercise of the power conferred upon me by Article 70(1) of the Constitution, I do hereby prorogue the Tenth Parliament of Guyana on 10th day of November, Two thousand and Fourteen

Word of the suspension of the Parliament came just hours after the President consulted with the Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), Dr Steve Surujbally.

The meeting with Surujbally was aimed at getting an update on preparations by the election management body for General and Regional Elections before the end of January 2015 as well as progress towards the holding of Local Government Elections during the second quarter of 2015.

Below is the full text of the President’s Address to the Nation:

Fellow Guyanese, in my address to you on November 4, I indicated our desire for the National Assembly, in its post-recess sittings, to deliberate and give priority to important matters relating to the development of our country and the future of all of our people. I also extended a hand to the Opposition for us to put the nation’s business first rather than political gamesmanship.

I further advised that should I be provided with reasons to believe that the Parliamentary Opposition intends to disrupt Government’s business by forcing a debate on their No Confidence Motion, I resolved to respond immediately by exercising my Constitutional options to either Prorogue or Dissolve Parliament paving the way for holding of General Elections.

Consistent with my earlier position and in accordance with powers conferred on me by Article 70 (1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Guyana, I earlier today issued a Proclamation proroguing the 10th Parliament.

Fellow Guyanese, my decision to exercise this constitutional option was not taken lightly, but it was the sole recourse that was left to me to ensure that the life of the 10th Parliament was preserved.

It is no secret that the Parliamentary Opposition parties had, at every conceivable opportunity, made known their clear intention to have their motion of no confidence against my Government debated instantly at the first post-recess sitting which was called for today, November 10. Their one-seat majority in Parliament could only mean its passage and the immediate irreversible dissolution of Parliament. 

My appeals to return to normalcy, to constructively address the many important issues confronting us in Guyana, appear to have fallen on deaf ears.

The Opposition in Parliament intends to end the life of the 10th Parliament with immediate effect, dashing all hopes for urgent attention to issues  relating to economic growth, social services and yes, the holding of Local Government Elections.

Some may ask why is it that my government has gone this Constitutional route and not go along with the debate.  The answer lies in the practical choice between an atmosphere of confrontation, as the no confidence motion debate would fuel, or that of possible accommodation, as a prorogued Parliament can facilitate, if there is a genuine intent on all sides.   

I also want to assure all that my decision ensures that the life of the 10th Parliament is preserved up to a maximum of   six (6) months, as permitted by the Constitution of Guyana.

I pledge to you, to have my administration use that time during the period of prorogation to continue to engage the Parliamentary Opposition in constructive ways, in addressing the issues confronting Guyana.

It is, however, my genuine desire to have the prorogation of the 10th Parliament ended sooner were my Government and the Opposition to reach an agreement for a return to normalcy. Further were these entreaties of cooperation by my government to be unsuccessful, I would then take the necessary steps for the holding of early General Elections so that the democratic will of our people can be freely exercised.

Fellow Guyanese, during this period your Government will continue to attend to the provision of basic goods and services. Your Government intends to abide strictly to the Constitutional provisions relating to this period. I will not allow any interruption of the stability and progress of our nation. Further, we will be keeping all stakeholders abreast of developments.  
Fellow Guyanese, I have taken this step with the hope that the time gained would be used for the benefit our people.

I wish to appeal to all for political maturity and the exercise of good judgment to put Guyana, our blessed nation, and, its people first.

Thank You

Support for Civil Society’s Charter for Transitional Government in Burkina Faso

usdos-logo-seal

Press Statement

Jen Psaki
Department Spokesperson
Washington, DC
November 10, 2014

The United States welcomes the November 9 announcement of a Charter for Transitional Government in Burkina Faso developed by political parties, civil society, and religious and traditional leaders. We urge continued progress in the discussions between these groups and the military so that this crisis may come to a quick end and the process of rebuilding Burkina Faso’s democracy may begin.

We also underscore the urgency of Burkina Faso returning to constitutional rule. Now that civil society, political parties, and the Constitutional Court are fully engaged in elaborating the mechanics of the country’s transition, we urge the men and women of Burkina Faso’s armed forces to return to their primary mission — safeguarding the territorial integrity of Burkina Faso and the security of its citizens.

At the same time, we firmly hope that the central mission of the transitional government will be to ensure effective preparation for national elections in November 2015.

War planning?! Rwanda bought TL-50 air defense missiles from China: Kanwa

While more than 60% of Rwandans are under poverty line, look at what matters for Kagame. Will this sophisticated weapon be necessary during upcoming popular revolution? And to allow the publication of the deal …?! It is just another way to instigate fear among the people. But nothing can stop us, as Jah Cure would say “We are unstoppable”.  The wind of change is blowing. AdminTL50-171502_copy1

China North Industries Corporation based in Beijing has successfully exported its TL-50 or Sky Dragon 50 air defense missiles to Rwanda, according to Kanwa Defense Review, a Chinese-language military magazine based in Canada.

Rwanda is the first and currently the only nation in Africa to use the TL-50. Designed based on China’s PL-12 air-to-air missile, the TL-50 can attack targets between 20 and 30 kilometers from the ground with an attacking range of 50 kilometers. Kanwa said it is now the most advanced air defense missile in East Africa, though Rwanda has purchased only a very limited number of the missiles.

With the ability to track 144 targets, the TL-50 can launch 12 missiles to intercept 12 incoming targets simultaneously. A photo of the system was shown at the Africa Aerospace Defense Exhibition this year which shows a single missile launcher with four launch tubes. Rwanda must have at least four TL-50 launchers as this is the system’s lowest operational unit, Kanwa said.

The missile also has fire and forget capability, Kanwa said. However, the TL-50 has not entered service in China, as the PLA has selected the HQ-16 as its current standard air defense missile.

REVOLUTION: PEREZIDA PAUL KAGAME NAWE ASHOBORA GUKURA ISOMO KU BIBAYE MURI BURKINA FASO NK’UKO BYAGENDEKEYE MUGENZI WE BONI YAYI PEREZIDA WA BENIN.

Kagame Emperor
Aho iyo Perezida Paul Kagame yambaye atya ntatekereza ko Repubulika -cyami ishoboka?

“Ntagishobora guhagarika Rubanda yahagurukiye gukora Revolution”.

Aya ni amagambo Ishyaka Ishema rikunze gusubiramo kenshi kuva ryatangiza urugamba mpinduramatwara hashingiwe ku nzira ya Revolution. Ntibyatinze rero koko ibihugu by’abarabu biba bitweretse ko burya koko ubutegetsi bwose ari ubwa Rubanda, bwakwiye gutangwa nayo kandi bukayikorera. N’ubwo rero bamwe bumvaga ko ahari hari uko ibihugu by’abarabu byaba bitandukaniyeho n’ibyo mu gice kinini cy’amagepfo y’ubutayu bw’Afurika, ariko siko bimeze. Ikiremwamuntu aho kiva hose gikenera kwigenga no kwigobotora igitugu aho bibaye ngombwa hose.

Iyo niyo mpanvu mu kwezi gushize nabwo twakurikiranye Revolution y’abirabura b’Afurika mu gihugu cya Burkina Faso, ubwo Perezida Blaise Compaore yageragezaga gutangiza umushinga wo guhindura itegekonshinga ry’icyo gihugu. Ntabwo byamuhiriye rero kuko rubanda yari imaze imyaka igera kuri 27 iri mw’icuraburindi ry’igitugu n’akarengane, yarahagurutse maze yamagana kumugaragaro ayo mahano yo guhindura igihugu akarima kabo no gukina abaturage ku mubyimba. Ntibyatinze maze Blaise Compaore baba bamuhambirije riva ahunga atarora n’inyuma, ubutegetsi bukaba bugomba gusubizwa abaturage maze bakihitiramo umuyobozi ubakwiye. Umuyobozi urengera inyungu rusange z’abo aho kwihiringa kunyunguze bwite n’izumuryango we gusa ubundi akabyuka arota guhindura itegekonshinga ngo yongere abategeke!

Revolution ya Rubanda ikwiriye hose.

Ubwo abaturage b’igihugu cya Burkina Faso bahagurukiraga rimwe bakamagana umunyagitugu Blaise Compaore, byahise binyibutsa ubwo abagabo b’impirimbanyi nyafurika nabo bahagurukiraga kurwanya bagashakabuhake kugeza Afurika yose yigenze.

Iki rero nacyo mbona aricyo gihe cyo kwamagana abanyagitugu no kubahanantura ku ntebe bicayeho ariko tukabikora tubaturutse imbere, ntabwoba nta mususu cyangwase gushidikanya twifitemo. Uburenganzira bwacu bugomba kubahirizwa mbere yo kubahiriza ubw’abanyagitugu.

Burkina Faso itanze isomo rikomeye ku bihugu by’Afurika.

Ntekereza ntashidikanya ko irisomo Burkina Faso itanze nayo yarivomye mu bihugu by’abarabu. Mbese nkakurya ubwigenge bwatangiriye mubihugu bimwe nabimwe by’ Afurika maze bugakwira hose mukanya nk’ako guhumbya kugeza Afurika yose yigenze ukagirango ubukoroni bwari inzozi.

Kigali nayo ishobora kuba ihakuye isomo

Mukanya gashize ikinyamakuru « igihe » kiyemeje gutangariza abanyarwanda ko revolusiyo yo muri Burkinafaso yakwiye kubera isomo abandi ba perezida b’afurika bagifite gahunda yo guhindura itegekonshinga ngo bakunde bigumire kubutegetsi. N’ubwo igihe cyabinyujije mu mvugo yo gushima Perezida Boni Yayi wa Bénin, ariko uwabwirwaga ni Perezida Paul Kagame, ubu ufite icyo gitekerezo ndetse amakuru akaba avuga ko umushinga yari yamaze gushyiraho comite yo kuwutegura.

Dukurikije izi nama ariko igihe.com kimugira, turemeza ko ubwo ari intandaro yo kuva kwizima kwa Perezida Paul Kagame maze akemera itegekonshinga rigasugira, abanyarwanda bagasubizwa uburenganzira bwabo maze bakihitira umuyobozi bihitiyemo mu matora adafifitse.

Ngaho ni mwisomere uko Kigali babibona.
