PAUL KAGAME FALLS INTO GNAWING JAWS OF RWANDA

The struggle to free Rwandans from the gnawing jaws of Gen Habyarimana Juvenal regime by Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) led by Gen Paul Kagame was not fought because  people had the penchant of fighting strangers, neither did they do so for the love of the lofty ideas embedded in the skulls of the anti-Hutu leader.

The starting point for the people’s bloody struggle is direct and simple, to ward off Hutu regime which had occupied the land by establishing Akazu (Kinyarwanda word for using your own people for self enrichment) and subsequently established a criminal regime.

But what Paul Kagame knew and  didn’t shy away from was the same ideology/ practices “Akazu” that was implemented by the Hutu regime. If any one told you that the fight was just about the realisation of the innermost desire of Rwandans to see the majority rule is totally hogwash and deceptive.
Grañfadaá Ayitomeka of the Pan Africanist and Secretary General of Pan African Council published an article in herald.co.zw and wrote; “In Africa, land is a symbol of power and authority. It actually confers on you an honour and responsibility towards the larger society, posterity including the ancestors. It is therefore unpardonable for a society to willingly or otherwise cede its God given wealth (land) to another group of people and expect to command respect, honour and authority amongst comity of nations.”

Independent bodies are a thing of the past. People of Rwanda are subjected to adhere (unconditional) to the unjust laws imposed on them by  cooperatives’  that are  managed by a group of elites from the ruling regime.

Ayitomeka further goes on to say that; ‘How can one, commit himself towards the eradication of poverty when he or she does not attempt to control the means of production? Is this not the case of Africa where our natural resources are firmly (since independence) in the grip of the capitalist West while we labour and leave on subsistence that underwrites the penury of life witness on the continent?.”

Paul Kagame and his western allies continue to plunder our resources (especial human resources by sending our future generation to fight one another in unjust wars in DRC) without remorse. Millions of innocent lives have perished in Congo. Paul Kagame  hungry for more blood from innocent Hutu children told his followers that “We are not happy that we could not exterminate them.”
Where does this leave people of Rwanda? Ignorance and lack of self-consciousness is common in most Rwandans. Like Martin Luther King, Jr. said “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

Rwandans should know, live, eat and breath that Rwanda belongs to them. It’s not for an individual (s) whose motive is to loot and cause divisionism for self enrichment.  Aluta continua.

PAUL KAGAME GETS TANGLED “IN A NET” BY DR THEOGENE RUDASINGWA’S CONFESSION.

For over six hours Dr. Theogene Rudasingwa testified in front of Judge Trevidic in France yesterday April the 20th, 2012. Dr. Rudasingwa’s confession explains in detail how this decision was made and who was involved. The statement bellow is in its complete and unedited version. As to why he chose to confess and publish his confession, Dr. Rudasingwa said; “it is not about a war of words but a battle for the soul of our nation.”



Confession.

PAUL KAGAME KILLED PRESIDENT JUVENAL HABYARIMANA, PRESIDENT CYPRIEN NTARYAMIRA OF BURUNDI, DEOGRATIAS NSABIMANA, ELIE SAGATWA, THADEO BAGARAGAZA, JUVENAL RENZAHO, EMMANUEL AKINGENEYE, BERNARD CIZA, CYRIAQUE SIMBIZI, JACKY HERAUD, JEAN PIERRE MINABERRY AND JEAN-MICHEL PERRINE

On August 4, 1993, in Arusha, Tanzania, the Government of Rwanda and the Rwandese Patriotic Front signed the Arusha Peace Agreement. The provisions of the agreement included a commitment to principles of the rule of law, democracy, national unity, pluralism, the respect of fundamental freedoms and the rights of the individual. The agreement further had provisions on power-sharing, formation of one and single National Army and a new National Gendarmerie from forces of the two warring parties; and a definitive solution to the problem of Rwandan refugees.

On April 6, 1994, at 8:25 p.m., the Falcon 50 jet of the President of the Republic of Rwanda, registration number “9XR-NN”, on its return from a summit meeting in DAR-ES-SALAAM,Tanzania, as it was on approach to Kanombe International Airport in KIGALI, Rwanda, was shot down. All on board, including President Juvenal Habyarimana , President Cyprien Ntaryamira of Burundi, their entire entourage and flight crew died.

The death of President Juvenal Habyarimana triggered the start of genocide that targeted Tutsi and Hutu moderates, and the resumption of civil war between RPF and the Government of Rwanda. The RPF’s sad and false narrative from that time on has been that Hutu extremists within President Habyarimana’s camp shot down the plane to derail the implementation of the Arusha Peace Agreement, and to find a pretext to start the genocide in which over 800,000 Rwandans died in just 100 days. This narrative has become a predominant one in some international circles, among scholars, and in some human rights organizations.

The truth must now be told. Paul Kagame, then overall commander of the Rwandese Patriotic Army, the armed wing of the Rwandese Patriotic Front, was personally responsible for the shooting down of the plane. In July, 1994, Paul Kagame himself, with characteristic callousness and much glee, told me that he was responsible for shooting down the plane. Despite public denials, the fact of Kagame’s culpability in this crime is also a public “secret” within RPF and RDF circles. Like many others in the RPF leadership, I enthusiastically sold this deceptive story line, especially to foreigners who by and large came to believe it, even when I knew that Kagame was the culprit in this crime.

The political and social atmosphere during the period from the signing of the Arusha Accords in August 1993 was highly explosive, and the nation was on edge. By killing President Habyarimana, Paul Kagame introduced a wild card in an already fragile ceasefire and dangerous situation. This created a powerful trigger, escalating to a tipping point towards resumption of the civil war, genocide, and the region-wide destabilization that has devastated the Great Lakes region since then.

Paul Kagame has to be immediately brought to account for this crime and its consequences. First, there is absolutely nothing honorable or heroic in reaching an agreement for peace with a partner, and then stabbing him in the back. Kagame and Habyarimana did not meet on the battlefield on April 6, 1994. If they had, and one of them or both had died, it would have been tragic, but understandable, as a product of the logic of war. President Habyarimana was returning from a peace summit, and by killing him, Kagame demonstrated the highest form of treachery. Second, Kagame, a Tutsi himself, callously gambled away the lives of innocent Tutsi and moderate Hutu who perished in the genocide. While the killing of President Habyarimana, a Hutu, was not a direct cause of the genocide, it provided a powerful motivation and trigger to those who organized, mobilized and executed the genocide against Tutsi and Hutu moderates. Third, by killing President Habyarimana, Kagame permanently derailed the already fragile Arusha peace process in a dangerous pursuit of absolute power in Rwanda.

Kagame feared the letter and spirit of the Arusha Peace Agreement. As the subsequent turn of events has now shown, Kagame does not believe in the unity of Rwandans, democracy, respect of human rights and other fundamental freedoms, the rule of law, power sharing, integrated and accountable security institutions with a national character, and resolving the problem of refugees once and for all. This is what the Arusha Peace Agreement was all about. That is what is lacking in Rwanda today. Last, but not least, Kagame’s and RPF’s false narrative, denials, and deceptions have led to partial justice in Rwanda and at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, thereby undermining prospects for justice for all Rwandan people, reconciliation and healing. The international community has, knowingly or unknowingly, become an accomplice in Kagame’s systematic and shameful game of deception.
I was never party to the conspiracy to commit this heinous crime. In fact, I first heard about it on BBC around 1:00 am on April 7, 1994, while I was in Kampala where I had been attending the Pan African Movement conference.

I believe the majority of members of RPF and RPA civilians and combatants, like me, were not party to this murderous conspiracy that was hatched and organized by Paul Kagame and executed on his orders. Nevertheless, I was a Secretary General of the RPF, and a Major in the rebel army, RPA. It is in this regard, within the context of collective responsibility, and a spirit of truth-telling in search of forgiveness and healing, that I would like to say I am deeply sorry about this loss of life, and to ask for forgiveness from the families of Juvenal Habyarimana, Cyprien Ntaryamira, Deogratias Nsabimana, Elie Sagatwa, Thaddee Bagaragaza, Emmanuel Akingeneye, Bernard Ciza, Cyriaque Simbizi, Jacky Heraud, Jean-Pierre Minaberry, and Jean-Michel Perrine. I also ask for forgiveness from all Rwandan people, in the hope that we must unanimously and categorically reject murder, treachery, lies and conspiracy as political weapons, eradicate impunity once and for all, and work together to build a culture of truth-telling, forgiveness, healing, and the rule of law. I ask for forgiveness from the people of Burundi and France whose leaders and citizens were killed in this crime. Above all, I ask for forgiveness from God for having lied and concealed evil for too long.

In freely telling the truth before God and the Rwandan people, I fully understand the risk I have undertaken, given Paul Kagame’s legendary vindictiveness and unquenchable thirst for spilling the blood of Rwandans. It is a shared risk that Rwandans bear daily in their quest for freedom and justice for all. Neither power and fame, nor gold and silver, are the motivation for me in these matters of death that have defined our nation for too long. Truth cannot wait for tomorrow, because the Rwandan nation is very sick and divided, and cannot rebuild and heal on lies. All Rwandans urgently need truth today. Our individual and collective search for truth will set us free. When we are free, we can freely forgive each other and begin to live fully and heal at last.

Dr. Theogene Rudasingwa
Former: RPF Secretary General, Ambassador of Rwanda to the United States, and Chief of Staff for President Paul Kagame.

KIGALI RESIDENTS UNDER THREAT FOR SUPPORTING VICTOIRE INGABIRE


Kigali -  Supporter(s) of Victoire Ingabire, FDU-Inkingi chairman who is currently boycotting her trial, are facing threats from left and right corners. Yesterday evening Mukamabano Felicite who resides in Kicukiro at Kagarama woke up to a sound of heavy stones banging on top of her house.

Fearing for her life she run for safety and went to a local police station to report the incident. Police were quick to rush at the scene and upon arriving they witnessed the event at first hand.  

Police apprehended two boys together with their mother Mukarubega at a nearby house where the stones were coming from. Mukarubega later told the police that “we don’t need Victoire people in us”. Her statement was echoed while being transported to the police station. Mukamabano Felicite was seen several times during Victoire Ingabile’s court appearances.

The following day, the offenders were seen parading in their yard as if nothing had happened. It is also believed that they were doing this in support of the ruling regime which is inevitably struggling with Victoire Ingabile’s case.

Also today Justice Minister, Tharcisse Karugarama together with judge Martini Ngoga called a sudden media conference to discuss Ingabire’s withdrawal. Trusted sources told rncnewsonline that the boycotting of the trial have caused a major disturbance in the justice system of the country where deep divisions have erupted.

A CALL TO CONSCIENCE. VICTOIRE INGABIRE BOYCOTTS THE TRIAL – WHAT TO BECOME OF PAUL KAGAME?

Johannesburg - Numerous articles have been published over the past few years during Victoire Ingabile’s trial with the Kigali regime. Finally, We happen to stumble across the one that captured our attention “Rwandan opposition figure boycotts trial: lawyer” this publication was written by Agence France Presse (AFP) on the 16th April 2012.
 http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5idLSUg5whxrwhoGnLIudLudFUSfg?docId=CNG.a14f5248b1f07e543e17938fb36a6c38.2a1&index=0

Her boycotting came after the court cut short the hearing of a witness for the defence, former FDLR colonel Michel Habimana, who accused Rwandan authorities of rigging evidence against her. These practices are eminent and hinders justice to the accused person or persons.

The witness also explained that accusations against Ingabire were merely aimed at stopping her from running in the (August 2010) presidential election" against Kagame, said Edwards, one of Ingabire’s lawyers. Among the charges brought forward includes; Genocide Ideologies, sawing division, financing FDLR, etc. It is however well documented that the Kagame regime continues to saw division, ethnic divides and denies that Hutus were also killed during and after the 1994 genocide. Ingabire’s boycotting not only will it test Kagame’s leadership but also the justice system as well as Human Rights values from the United Nation’s declaration that Rwanda has to adhere to.

One has to ask himself/herself if Paul Kagame is willing to reconcile people of Rwanda after leaving them in limbo for the past 18 years. Prominent leaders in the RPA (Col Patrick Karegeya, Gen Kayumba Nyamwasa, etc) have defected, and others (Lt. Gen. Fred Ibingira, the chief of staff of the Reserve Forces; Brig. Gen. Richard Rutatina, the military intelligence chief; Brig. Gen. Wilson Gumisiriza, commander of the RDF's 3rd Division and Col. Dan Munyuza, head of external Intelligence) are under house arrest for simply standing their grounds. People of Rwanda are argued not to tolerate Paul Kagame’s continued manipulations of the justice system as well as freedom of expression for it is their inherit rights.

A CALL TO CONSCIENCE. SHOULD RWANDA BE NEXT ON THE FIRING LINE?


What Paul Kagame is missing in this 21st century is the fact that things have changed and  Africa is spinning in different direction.

It began with the Arab Spring, went down to Mali with a successful coup (Big ups to Amadou Haya Sanogo and his soldiers) now the latest to follow suite is Guinea-Bissau

Reports coming out of the cable networks and electronic medias such as internet have but one thing is common; Reporting on what is happening with countries led by the dictators.

If we had the guts as normal human beings should have, let us ask ourselves few questions to perhaps strength/challenge our mental capacities with which to grasp all these revelations on the mother land;
·        Do these developments on the mother land demonstrate a will of people to bring about much needed democracy in African countries? Or is it just a simple show down of People and Power?
·        Will this teach anything the people of Rwanda who have not seen or tested democracy since independence?
·        Will “the call to arrest” Bosco Ntanganda made by the Democratic Republic of Congo president Joseph Kabila bring any justice denied to Congolese people or an end to the presence of Rwandan troops in D.R.C?
·        Do people of Rwanda want/understand the meaning of freedom of speech or they have simply given up their lives to a dictator?
·        What do Rwandans want to see happen in order to bring true reconciliation?
·        Do we need a KAGAME2012 video or Rwandans accepted the ill fates of their country?

Political space in most of African countries is limited to the ruling party and that affects the development of the country. This does not only cause divisionism but also puts in place bad leaders, whom in most cases loose touch with the masses. Thus some chose to revolt or defect from the regime (Gen Kayumba Nyamwasa, Col Patrick Karegeya, etc.). Conflicts escalates, people start hunting each other and so forth.  

Where is Rwanda heading? This is what people with conscience should be asking themselves. Rwanda is currently led by a dictator as we know it or see it. The masses of Rwanda have not had opportunities to voice their grievances for there is no judicial system that is independent or rather working for them.

THE HINGES OF THE KIGALI REGIME ON FIRE.

The hinges of the Kigali regime are on fire slowly burning up to the periphery, now we have  the top military brass transferred from previously house arrest to an incommunicado places unknown to no one, not even their families for two months now.
 This started a while back when Brigadier  General Richard Rutatina, DMI( director of military intelligence) chief together with his colleagues Col Dan Munyuza, external security chief, Gen Fred Ibigira chief of staff of  reserve forces ( Garrison),and division commander Brigadier general Wilson Gumisiriza contacted their counterparts in Uganda to lender them a hand in their escape plan to exile, the Ugandan intelligence let president kagame’s  intelligence in on their escape plan and they were apprehended on their way to exile through Uganda. What is rather more appalling is how Brigadier general Richard Rutatina cried and pleaded to his wife to follow him saying “please follow me up now that I am moved from my house they are going to kill me, please inform everyone and don’t forget to look after my children”. Hahahahah very funny from a man who used to call others crooks and detractors of Kigali regime.  
Information we have from a well trusted inside source is that, after their arrest they revealed a long list of fellow military officers that had the same intentions to follow suit into exile, we can only hope these people are still alive since nobody knows their whereabouts, their families are crying foul and they have been asked not to talk about it or else they will follow them into the oblivion.
Let us remind our readers that these four men apart from Brigadier General Gumisiriza, in the list of too many, president kagame used them to exorcize, demonise, exterminate and mudsling people with dissenting views like Gen kayumba Nyamwasa and Col Patrick karegeya   who are currently living in exile in south Africa under heavy security due to life threats men like Col Dan and Gen Rutatina posed on their lives, they had a sole mandate from his excellency president Paul kagame alias the butcher to find and liquidate them at any cost, conversations on internet of them bargaining with the supposed killers can confirm it.
 One cannot also forget to mention journalists wondering around in exile and political prisoners as a result of trapped up charges and persecutions, These men sold their souls for President Paul kagame, I think they forgot the saying that says, “one cannot live for ever by ignoring the price of coffins”, they were in a better place to know what was coming for them because lively examples where in front of their noses but rather they choose to ignore it for a few pennies.
We plead to all Rwandese men and women still helping president Paul Kagame to consolidate himself to power by exterminating people with different views and opinions to stop, please remember history will judge you and one way or the other you will end up like those four men.
And for president Paul Kagame this is a piece of advice, you won’t need to pay for it like you pay consultation fees to Tony Blair, that ranges into millions of dollars a year of Rwandese tax payers’ money with regard to how to improve your image abroad more especially when requests pour in for you to open up political participation or when you ridge elections by 95% , this is my piece of advice -  holding onto power is much like trying to secure a handful of sand- the tighter you squeeze the less you can have.

A CALL TO CONSCIENCE.

--Martin Luther King, Jr.,Remaining Awake Through A Great Revolution
Through our scientific and technological genius, we have made of this world a neighborhood and yet we have not had the ethical commitment to make of it a brotherhood. But somehow, and in some way, we have got to do this. We must all learn to live together as brothers or we will all perish together as fools. We are tied together in the single garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable network of mutuality. And whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the way God’s universe is made; this is the way it is structured.
John Donne caught it years ago and placed it in graphic terms: "No man is an island entire of itself. Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main." And he goes on toward the end to say, "Any man’s death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind; therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." We must see this, believe this, and live by it if we are to remain awake through a great revolution.

--Martin Luther King, Jr., 1957
"The reason I can't follow the old eye-for-an-eye philosophy is that it ends up leaving everyone blind. Somebody must have sense and somebody must have religion. I remember some years ago, my brother and I were driving from Atlanta to Chattanooga, Tennessee. And for some reason the drivers that night were very discourteous or they were forgetting to dim their lights...And finally A.D. looked over at me and he said, 'I'm tired of this now, and the next car that comes by here and refuses to dim the lights, I'm going to refuse to dim mine.' I said, 'Wait a minute, don't do that . Somebody has to have some sense on this highway.' And I'm saying the same thing for us here in Birmingham. We are moving up a mighty highway toward the city of Freedom. There will be meandering points. There will be curves and difficult moments, and we will be tempted to retaliate with the same kind of force that the opposition will use. But I'm going to say to you, 'Wait a minute, Birmingham. Somebody's got to have some sense in Birmingham.'" Fellow brothers and Sisters from Rwanda, somebody's got to have some sense in Rwanda. We can't continue to be held captive of our own reasoning, we might as well not be existing. For how long are we going to allow an individual to lead us into the dark with his subversive activities that only continues to tarnish Rwanda's image on the international  front?

In his words, he goes on to say " If you have never found something so dear and so precious to you that you will die for it, then you aren't fit to live. You may be thirty-eight years old, as I happen to be, and one day some great principle, some great opportunity stands before you and calls upon you to stand up for some great issue, some great cause. And you refused to do it because you want to live longer. You're afraid that you will lose your job, or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity, or you're afraid that somebody will stab you or shoot at you or bomb your house.  So you refuse to take the stand. Well, you may go on and live until you are ninety, but you are just as dead at thirty-eight as you would be at ninety. And the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announced of an earlier death of the spirit. You died when you refused to stand up for right".
  
It is in this regard that we call upon fellow brothers and sisters to constructively engage in more positive revolutional struggle that will bring unity, based on a common belief.  Together we can change bad politics of Rwanda and its leaders that put on a fake smile in the name of hypocrisy.

SOUTH AFRICA SUMMONS KIGALI REGIME TO EXPLAIN ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATIONS.


Gen Karenzi Karake

Johannesburg -   Intelligence circles from the South African government summoned the Chief of National Security Services (NSS) from Rwanda, Gen Karenzi Karake who jotted in leading an entourage of five most trusted Kagame lieutenants on Monday the 2nd April 2012.
The purpose for the summoning of Rwandan government was to explain the continued espionage by Rwandan security service after the SA intelligence receiving crucial information elaborating the illegal operations by agents from Kigali which has angered South African authorities.
This comes after several complains from the exiled Rwandans living in South Africa, the intelligence circles are in possession of overwhelming evidence that shows how Paul Kagame’s regime continues to plan executions and assassinations of his opponents, harass those that are against his dictatorship, our source asserted.
Information coming from a source in the intelligence circles, who chose to remain anonymous told rncnewsonline that, Gen Karenzi Karake and his entourage summoning, was caused by espionage carried out by NSS agents in recent months, where a number of exiles belonging to Rwanda National Congress were harassed and feared for their lives.
Some of the complains put forward to the intelligence varies from harassments, night phone calls and messages sent by Didier Rutembesa, the counsellor of Rwandan embassy also a member of a secrete killing squad based in South Africa.
 The content of the message couldn’t be revealed to us because of the on-going investigations, but what was clear from the source was the irritation of the South African authorities against the criminal acts by the Kigali regime in SA.  
The summoning of Gen Karake shows clearly the continued strained relations between the two countries, following the recent attempted assassination on Gen Kayumba Nyamwasa’s life as well as the top officials of Rwanda National Congress in South Africa. Also of contention is the betrayal of Paul Kagame when he failed to vote for SA candidate for African Union commission chairmanship against his own assurances.
We are closely following the developments.
