HE JAKAYA KIKWETE

Dodoma. Wakati Bunge likipitisha bajeti ya makadirio ya matumizi Sh191.91 bilioni ya Wizara ya Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa kwa mwaka wa fedha 2014/15 Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa, Benard Membe, alitumia nafasi hiyo ‘kumchana na kumchanua’ Waziri Kivuli wa Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa, Ezekiah Wenje Kwa Hutuma Za Kumtetea Raisi Paul Kagame wa Rwanda na kusema kuwa anatumiwa na mataifa ya nje sana sana taifa la Rwanda ambalo limekua likileta machafuko na janga la kibinadamu mashariki mwa nchini mwa Congo.

Mbali na hivyo aliwaita watu wanaotoa kauli za uchonganishi kuwa ni wapumbavu na akataka waache tabia za kipumbavu kwani hawatavumiliwa hata kidogo watu ambao wanaeneza siasa Za Kumtetea Raisi Paul Kagame wa Rwanda. Hapa tuwakumbushe kwa kuwa bwana Waziri Kivuli wa Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa, Ezekiah Wenje ametajwa na gazeti limoja hapa Tanzania kwa kuwa anajiusisha na mambo ya magendu ya kuwuza asri mali ya kutoka nchini Congo. Ilo gazeti liliendelea kusema kwa kuwa  Waziri Kivuli Bwana  Ezekiah Wenje, anabyashara maalum nchini Rwanda ambazo zinahusika na usambazaji wa nguvu za umeme na simu za runono. Membe alitoa kauli hiyo jana jioni wakati akitoa majumuisho katika michango ya wabunge kwenye hotuba ya mapato na makadirio ya wizara hiyo kwa mwaka 2014/15. 

Wenje ambaye ni Waziri Kivuli wa Wizara ya Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa jana asubuhi katika hotuba yake, alimshambulia Membe kuwa ni waziri mzigo ambaye hajui wajibu wake na sera zake niza nizakusaidia upinzani mwa nchini jirani ya Rwanda ili umtoe mmulakani Bwana Paul Kagame. Sakata hilo liliibuliwa kwenye uhusiano baina ya Tanzania na nchi ya Rwanda ambalo Wenje alilizungumzia zaidi kama ni mtu ambae hajari usalama wa Tanzaniya na wa Tanzaniya wote kwa ujumla. Jambo hili liliwashangaza wa Tanzania wengi kwa kuwa hawawoni ni kitu ghani ambacho kinamfanya Wenje atetewa Bwana Kagame. Hapa tuwakumbushe kwa kuwa mwaka jana wa 2013 ndipo serikali ya Tanzaniya iligundua kwa kuwa Rwanda ilikuwa na wajasusi wa Rwanda katika jeshi la Tanzania ambao wamelelewa na hata kuzaliwa nchni Tanzania lakini wazazi wawo walikua ni wa kiasri ya Rwanda kwa kabila la wa Tutsi ambao wamekuwa wakishirikiana na serikali ya Rwanda kufanya kazi ya ujasusi kuhusu serikali ya Muungano ya Tanzania. Nivizuri serikari hiyi imakinike na ichunguze zaini ni byashara ghani Waziri Kivuli ako nazo na serikari jirani la Rwanda. 

Mbunge wa Nyamagana (Chadema), Hezekiah Wenje

Akijibu hoja hizo Membe, alisema: “Kwanza nikubaliane na kauli ya wabunge wengi kuwa uhusiano wa Tanzania na Rwanda siyo mzuri kwani kila upande haumuamini mwenzake,”sana sana serikali jirani la Rwanda, aliema Membe. Alisema kinachowaumiza pande zote ni kuwa kila upande unapozungumza na mahasimu wa mwenzake, wanahisi kuwa anataka kuipindua Serikali yao hivyo bado hawajakubaliana kwa jambo lolote lakini akasema yote yatakwisha salama.“Huwezi kusimama hapa mtu na macho yakakutoka halafu unaanza kulizungumzia taifa lingine ambalo siyo lako, hivi unatoa wapi ujasiri huo au wanakulipa,”alihoji Membe na kuongeza. “..Mimi naweka rehani uwaziri wangu hapa kwamba ukileta vielelezo kamili mimi nitakuwa tayari kuachia nafasi yangu, je na wewe nikitoa vielelezo utakuwa tayari kuwajibika?.” Hapa tuwakumbushe kwa kua ni mwaka jana tu raisi wa Rwanda Bwana Kagame alisema anangojea wakati mwafaka harafu amnyoroshe raisi wetu mpendwa Jakaya Kikwete kaa vile serikari yake ya Rwanda ilivyo mnyorosha Col. Patrick Karegeya, na mwenzi ake General Kayumba Nyamwasa. 

Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa, Membe alimtaja Wenje kwa jina kuwa alichokifanya hakifai kuwa alitoa kauli ambayo siyo nzuri kwa siri za taifa na akasema mtu kama huyo akipata nafasi hata kama nchi itakuwa vitani, yuko tayari kutoa siri. Aliyataja makundi ya ya M23 kuwa ni moja ya kundi ambalo linaundwa na Banyamulenge waliokuwa chini ya Roral Nkunda ambaye simu Kongomani kama vilivyo enezwa na serikali ya Rwanda. Kundi hili ambalo liliua watu wengi kwamba linaundwa na watutsi bila ya ubishi. Membe alimpongeza mbunge Alli Keissy kuwa alichokizungumza jana asubuhi kuhusu Rwanda na DRC Kongo ni sahihi na ndiyo maana alimshangilia kwa nguvu zote.Tutaendelea kuyafwatiria mambo haya sana sana Waziri Kivuli wa Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa, Ezekiah Wenje kuhusu madai kwa kuwa ako na Ndogo Ndogo ambazo ni wasichana wa kitutsi nyumbani mwake Dodoma ambao wametumwa na Serikali ya Rwanda ili wafanye kazi ya kiususi kuhusu wafanyakazi wa ngazi za juu wa serikali ya Muungano ya Tanzania. 

Tunataka kuwa kumbusha kwa kuwa Mheshimiwa Ezekiah Dibogo Wenje ni Mbunge wa constituency ya Nyamagana kwa chama cha CHADEMA. Duru za kuaminika ni kwa kuwa Mbunge huyu kizazi chake kinaweza kufwatiriwa kutoka Rwanda kwa Sehemu ambalo siku hizi linajulikana kama NYAMAGABE, Gikongoro. Nikama mababu zake walikuja Tanzania myaka ya zamani sana kama myaka 200 iliopita kufanya byashara na watu wakutoka Omani. Upelelezi gazeti letu lilifanya tuliambiwa kwa kuwa inawezekana Bwana Ezekiah Dibogo Wenje anatoka kabila la Wakulima nchini umo Rwanda ambalo linaweza kuwa wahutu.

KAGAME ACCUSES TWO INNOCENT VILLAGE WOMEN FROM MUSANZE FOR TREASON TO OVERTHROW HIM

THE KAGAME'S GOVERNMENT IS SCARED OF THESE TWO YOUNG INNOCENT WOMEN THINKING THAT THEY WANT TO OVERTHROW THE KIGALI GOVERNMENT !

ONE OF THE RPF TOBACCO PLANTATIONS IN NYARUGINA
KINIGI REGION

When the district court of Musanze in Ruhengeri asked Ms Mujawamariya aLeonille and Twizerimana Francoise to tell the court whether they know Paul Kagame, they said "NO" when the court pressed on asking them whether they can identify president Kagame among the people who were seated calmly in the court pews, Leonille pointed her hand toward a thinny looking man with thinny specles hanging over his nose and she said, "I guess that man might be Paul Kagame," she replied. The entire court bursted into laghter amused by Leonille's action.

THESE ARE THE PEOPLE ROUGHED UP BY THE
RWANDAN LOCAL DEFENSE FORCES IN MUSANZE

Rwanda is one of the oddest countries on the planet. It is sadedening but also funny. Few days ago the Kigali government sent its troops to harass the people of Musanze whereby they started shooting in random at innocent people who were selling and buying in different village markets of Rond-point and Bisate in KINIGI region, Shingiro and Byangabo in MUKINGO, Kimonyi and Nyakinama in Nyakinama, and other areas in the neighborhood. RPF is accusing the villagers of these regions to be FDLR sympathizers. What amazes is that when the so called suspects were asked whether they know Kagame they said no when the court threatened them because of fear they pointed at a tinny looking primary school teacher who was sitting at a court pew in the corner of the court. This is the government of Kagame we are talking about. It fears that the people of Ruhengeri have never forgotten the year 1997-98 when Kagame told them that he will kill them to the last so tat he can bring American and British investors American British Tobacco Company to come and plant (ITABI-TOBACCO-LE TABAC-TUMBAKU) in Ruhengeri and Gisenyi. 15 years later Bwana Kagame still want to pursue his plans to kill the people of Ruhengeri who have never shied away from showing him openly that they wont serve his regime. Majority of the people whom Kagame is accusing of planning to overthrow his government dont even know him on the photo leave alone to know Kagame physically.

FDLR SOLDIER

Today 27 May the Court of Appeal of Ruhengeri-Musanze, as RPF calls this region, has sentenced to more than 30 days behind the bars two innocent village women accused of working closely with the Hutu rebellion based in Eastern DR Congo called the DEMOCRATIC FORCES FOR THE LIBERATION OF RWANDA or FRONT DEMOCRATIQUE POUR LA LIBERATION DU RWANDA (FDLR). These two innocent village women are Mujawamariya Leonille and her sister Twizeyimana Françoise. After being tortured by the RPF police and being threatened to be put RED PEPPER in their private parts, they were forcifully confessed to be in contact with one of their brothers who is a senior military in FDLR Major Mutsindashyaka Juvenal alias Blaise. The Kigali government is accusing these innocent village women who have never been outside of Musanze region in the last 15 years to be planning to overthrow the Kigali government and kill President Paul Kagame.  

These two innocent village women are among around 60 women who were roughed up by the RPF police together

Alfred Nsengimana

with the terrorist group members of RPF known locally as LOKODIFENSI. When these women were picked up by the RPF police they were attending the funeral of the late Alfred Nsengimana who was the immediate executif of CYUVE location. I have to remind you that Mr Alfred Nsengimana was brutally murdered while handcuffed by the RPF police just two weeks ago. That is how brutal and determined the Kagame government is determined to eliminate Hutus, especially those in the Northern Rwanda of whom Kagame still thinks that they will always support their children and relatives that the RPF has denied rights and access to Rwanda since 1994. Some women among these 60 who are in torture chambers in KIGOMBE were roughed up by the RPF police in different locations of KINIGI, MUKINGO, and NKULI while they were going on around their daily businesses in their villages. 14 of them were picked up from Shingiro open village market others in Byangabo and Rond-point. Actually it is said that 12 people of those in Kigombe Mabuso are members of one family that RPF killers want to exterminate. I have to remind you that this family lost more than 20 in 1997 incouding their father when RPF used to besiege villagers of RUHENGERI AND GISENYI in its infamous SONGAMANA which was led by the now distressed exiled General KAYUMBA NYAMWASA who is in South Africa. 

THIS HUTU BOY WAS ROUGHED UP BY RWANDAN
POLICE IN MUSANZE

According to the RPF prosecutor, these innocent villagers are alleged to have exchanged phone conversations designed to remove the dictatorship of Paul Kagame since 2008 with their brother Major Mutsindashyaka Juvenal who is in charge of FDLR Intelligence. They have been tortured by the RPF to accept all charges since they were kidnapped by RPF few weeks ago. Some reliable sources tell us that all 60 people have been put in a room full of sewage and beaten on daily basis until they confessed. 

After the court sentence the Kigali media and the police performed the same drama they performed during the times of the celebrated Musician Mihigo. The police asked Leonille and Francoise to confess to the media and ask for forgiveness, especially to the women because, according to them, women should not be engaged in the Rwandan politics and the struggle for liberation of Rwanda, just because they are women.

KIGALI: GÉN PAUL RWARAKABIJE NAWE YATAWE MURI YOMBI.

From Ikaze Iwacu 21 mai 2014

Ubutabera

Amakuru yizewe agera ku kinyamakuru cyanyu SHIKAMA aremeza ko Gen. Maj. Paul RWARAKABIJE afungiye i Kigali azizwa gukorana n’umutwe wa F.D.L.R yahoze abereye umuyobozi mukuru ubwo wari ukitwa FDLR – FOCA Abacunguzi. Ayo makuru aravuga ko ubu arindiwe bikomeye ahantu hizewe cyane mu mujyi wa Kigali nyuma y’uko aketsweho gushaka gufatanya na FDLR mu mugambi wo gushoza intambara ku Rwanda.

Gen. Maj. Paul Rwarakabije muri make

Rwarakabije yari Col muri EX-FAR muri ’94

Mu 1994 yari umusirikari ukomeye ku ngoma ya Habyarimana. Nyuma y’uko FPR ifashe ubutegetsi i Kigali, Rwarakabije yagiye mu mashyamba ya Kongo ahunze kimwe n’abandi bari ibikomerezwa ku ngoma ya Habyarimana. Bageze muri Zaire yaje guhinduka RD Kongo, Rwarakabije ari ku isonga ry’abashinze umutwe wagiye uhindagura amazina ubu ukaba witwa FDLR. Mu 1998 Rwarakabije yagabye igitero gikomeye mu turere twa Nyakabanda muri Gitarama no hakurya muri Kibuye mu gace kitwa Nyange.

Icyo gitero cyari kiyobowe na Major NINJA wanahawe amabwiriza na Rwarakabije yo kwica abanyeshuri bigaga i Nyange mu ishuri ryisumbuye icyo gihe ryayoborwaga na  BARIHUTA Aimé wahise ahavanwa akajya kuyobora Akarere ka Ntenyo ubu akaba akora muri MINALOC ku Kacyiru i Kigali mu Rwanda.

Muri uwo mugambi wo kugaba ibitero shuma, Rwarakabije nk’umurwanyi ukomeye kandi wabyigiye ureke ababyihangishaho, yari afite umugambi wo gufata ubutegetsi ku ngufu i Kigali. Kubera ko Amerika yabonaga ko FDLR ifite ingabo zikomeye kandi zabyiyemeje zishobora gufata ubutegetsi, Bill Clinton yabyinjiyemo, Rwarakabije acyurwa i Kigali.

Uko byagenze ngo aze i Kigali

Bill Clinton niwe wapanze itahuka rya Rwarakabije

Mperutse kubandikira kuri uru rubuga rwacu ko muri politiki nta munsi w’imfabusa ubamo. Kubera umugambi w’Amerika wo guca kuri Kagame nk’ikiraro cyo kwigwizaho ubutunzi bwa Leta ya Kongo, Kagame yagiye gusaba inkunga Bill Clinton yo kugira ngo arwanye Rwarakabije n’umutwe we Clinton amusubiza ibi bikurikira:

«Inkunga ya Gisirikari ntiyaba ari nziza ngo abaturage bongere kumva amasasu kandi ari bwo mukiva mu ntambara ahubwo turagufasha guca intege FDLR, uzane Rwarakabije kugira ngo mutegekane niwo muti mbona ukwiye kandi wagira akamaro»

Amakuru tumaze igihe tubitse kuko twayahawe n’inzego z’iperereza icyo gihe mu Rwanda avuga ko Kagame yarahiriye Clinton akamutsembera ko adashobora gukorana m’umuntu wamurasiye ingabo maze Clinton aramuseka cyane agira ati : “Ugomba kumuzana ukamufunga! Uzamuhe akazi azakora akamera nk’ufunzwe ku buryo nta jambo azagira na busa ku baturage no mu butegetsi bwawe.”

Iki cyemezo rero cyahise gishyirwa mu bikorwa kuko Rwarakabije yahise akura ku ntebe Mary GAHONZIRE umusajyakazi wari warahawe kuyobora amagereza ararirwamo imfungwa n’abagororwa agahita ahabwa amabwiriza yo kumwungiriza.

Jérome ngendahimana, ubu ni Gen Major, akaba yungirije Gen fred Ibingira, mu buyobozi bw’Inkeragutabara

Muri iki cyemezo abantu benshi bagiye kubona babona Rwarakabije i Kigali birabayobera bamwe bamwita umuntu udatekereza neza ariko byose byari muri gahunda. Mu gihe Rwarakabije yazaga mu Rwanda agahita atangaza ko yitandukanyije na FDLR kandi akaba yaratahanye n’abandi benshi barimo Jerome NGENDAHIMANA, Major Ninjan’abandi. Kagame rero yemeye gutegekana na Rwarakabije atabivanye ku mutima ahubwo abihatiwe na Clinton wakomezaga kurengera inyungu z’Amerika zo gucukura amabuye y’agaciro muri Repubulika Iharanira Demukarasi ya Kongo.

Iturufu yo kugira abana intwari

Kuva Rwarakabije yagera mu Rwanda ku bw’inyungu z’Amerika, abaturage ntibahwemye gutera hejuru Kagame bamubaza impamvu ategekana n’umuntu wabiciye abana bigaga i Nyange nk’uko twabivuze mu kanya. Kugira ngo Kagame abazibye iminwa yahise ategeka Dr IYAMUREMYE Augustin wo muri Komisiyo ishinzwe kugena intwari, imidari n’impeta by’ishimwe gushyira abana barasiwe i Nyange mu Ntwari z’igihugu kugira ngo abaturage bagabanye urusaku kuko bazaba bishimiye iyo ntera abana b’abakene bashyizweho.

Gen Marcel Gatsinzi, yagize uruhare rukomeye mu gucyura Rwarakabije.

Ng’uko uko abana b’i Nyange bagizwe intwari ku bw’inyungu za Kagame n’Amerika. Amakuru dufite avuga ko Gen. Maj. GATSINZI Marcel ari we wagize uruhare rukomeye mu guhuza Rwarakabije na  Kigali ariko Rwarakabije aho agereye i Kigali yakomeje gukekwaho kuvugana n’abo yasize mu ishyamba ariko bikaba bishoboka ko atari byo, ko ahubwo byaterwaga n’uko Kagame atamwibonagamo. Mu gihe cyakurikiyeho, ikinyamakuru cyo muri Uganda cyitwa Red Pepper cyasohoye inyandiko yavugaga ko hari ubucuti bukomeye hagati y’abasigaye mu ishyamba muri FDLR barimo Gen. MUDACUMURA Sylvestre maze Kagame afatanyije na Clinton bakora ibishoboka byose ngo nawe bamucyure ariko birananirana.

Amakuru yakomeje gushyuha cyane kugera ubwo ikinyamakuru cyitwa UMWEZI cyandikirwa mu Rwanda mu nimero yacyo ya 88 yasohotse kuva ku italiki 07 kugera taliki 14 Nzeri 2011 cyanditse ku rupapuro rwacyo rwa kabiri (2) ko Gen. Sylvestre MUDACUMURA ari mu nzira agana i Kigali. Ibi ntibyari byo kuko kugera ubu ataragera mu Rwanda.

Kagame ashobora kuzamena amabanga menshi y’Amerika  

Perezida Kagame urebye uko ayoboye u Rwanda muri iyi minsi birerekana rwose ko hari ibintu byinshi yagiye akora abitegetswe n’Abanyamerika. Mu masengesho muri Serena yavuze ko kuba yica abantu nta gitangaza kirimo kuko n’abamushyize ku butegetsi babica inshuro igihumbi ku bw’inyungu z’ibihugu byabo.

Abo yavugagga si abandi batari Abanyamerika. Tugarutse kuri Rwarakabije biragaragara ko Kagame abonye ko Intare yamumuhaye ubu ntaho bagihuriye bityo akaba agiye kumwumvisha uko ashimuta abandi kabone n’ubwo na mbere hose yasaga n’ufunze kubera ko kuyobora urwego rw’imfungwa n’abagororwa atari umurimo waguhesha ijambo ku baturage ku mugani wa Clinton.

Kubura byose…

Iyo bavuze ngo kanaka yabuze byose nk’ingata imennye baba bashaka kuvuga ko ntaho yavuye ntaho yagiye. Rwarakabije birasa n’uko ashobora kuzisanga atagishoboye kwisubirira muri FDLR kuko umuragijwe atapfa kumurekura ahanini bitewe n’ubuhanga amuziho. Iyi turufu yo gushimuta abantu, kubarigisa, kubica no kubafunga imburagihe irimo kwerekana irangira ry’ingoma ya FPR, ariko kandi rikanaba n’ikimenyetso cy’uko ububasha Amerika yahaga Kagame nabwo burangiye kuko abo Kagame atatinyukaga gutunga urutoki ubu asigaye abahangamura atitaye ku magambo kuko abona neza ko Amerika nayo imurekuye ageze aho urugamba rumukomeranye.

Paul Rwarakabije abuze byose

Ikindi ni uko gufunga Rwarakabije cyangwa kumushimuta i Kigali bishobora kuba ikimenyetso simusiga cyerekana ko FDLR ikomeye kandi ko byaba ari ukugusha ishyano Kagame amuretse agasubira mu mashyamba ya Kongo kuko nawe amuziho ubuhanga bukomeye kugera n’aho bamuhaye akazi ko gutoza ingabo zo ku rwego rwa ofisiye i Gako mu Bugesera. 

Ubwo twanditse ko Rwarakabije afungiwe ahantu hakomeye i Kigali, ntibizabatangaze mubonye bamushyize ahagaragara kubera ko amakuru twayamenye bakamutegeka kuvuga ko atari afunzwe nk’uko ndetse ko abavuga batyo ari abanzi b’igihugu. Ibi nibiba ntazaba ari we wa mbere kuko hari n’abandi byabayeho mbere ye.

RWANDA-TANZANIA:Rwanda-Tanzaniya: Ese ubundi Kagame yanesha Kikwete ?

Publié le 20 mai 2014 par veritas

[Ndlr: Ishyamba si ryeru mu karere k’ibiyaga bigari! Hari amakuru menshi ari gusohoka mu binyamakuru by’igihugu cya Tanzaniya yerekana ko igihugu cy’u Rwanda cyohereje intasi muri Tanzaniya muri gahunda yo gukurura umutekano mucye mubaturage b’icyo gihugu bahereye ku moko yabo n’uturere batuyemo; ayo makuru avuga ko mu gihe Tanzaniya izaba imaze gushegeshwa n’izo mvururu,u Rwanda ruzayigabaho igitero gikomeye cya gisilikare rukigarurira akarere ka KARAGWE! Kugira ngo kugaba igitero muri Tanzaniya bizorohere u Rwanda, Paul Kagame perezida w’u Rwanda arimo ashakisha inzira mu gihugu cy’u Burundi, ubu hakaba hari gutegurwa gahunda yo kwigarurira u Burundi binyuze mu nzira y’intambara n’amayeri menshi bityo u Rwanda rukagera neza ku mupaka wa Tanzaniya rugashobora no kuyicengera rukoresheje impunzi z’abarundi zizaba zihunga intambara u Rwanda ruzaba rwashoje muri icyo gihugu,umwanditsi n’umunyamakuru wa SHIKAMA,aradusesengurira iby’intambara y’u Rwanda na Tanzaniya yibaza niba koko Kagame yanesha Kikwete!]

 

Kuba nibajije niba Kagame yanesha Kikwete bishobora gutera urujijo, ubundi iyi mvugo ntaho ihuriye n’imbaraga hagati y’abantu n’ubwo no mu bigaragarira amaso, Kikwete arusha ibigango Kagame ubarebye mu gihagararo. Iyo bigeze mu gisirikari na politiki ntihaba hagikora imbaraga z’umubiri n’ibigango mu bizigira ahubwo hakora politiki na dipolomasi aribwo bubanyi n’amahanga. Igihugu cy’u Rwanda njyewe mu busesenguzi bwanjye cyaba cyikozeho kandi kikazabyicuza umunsi Kagame azafata icyemezo cyo kugaba igitero kuri Repubulika yunze ubumwe ya Tanzania. Igihugu cya Tanzaniya ni igihugu kinini cyane ugereranije n’u Rwanda.

 

Igihugu cya Tanzania gifite ingabo zikomeye cyane kandi gifite amateka akomeye muri demukarasi muri aka karere. Igihugu cya Tanzania mu karere k’ibiyaga bigari ni cyo gihugu cyitarangwamo amakimbirane n’intambara muri politiki. Mbere y’uko Kagame azagerageza kugaba igitero kuri Tanzania, azabanze abaririze kandi aperereze uko Tanzania yamenesheje Id Amin Dada wari warajujubije abagande. Igihugu cya Tanzania cyagize uruhare rukomeye mu guhirika uyu munyagitugu.

 

Kagame nafata icyemezo cyo gutera Tanzania, u Burundi, Kenya na Uganda bishobora kuzifatanya na KIKWETE kubera inyungu zikomeye ibi bihugu bifite kuri Tanzania ahanini bitewe n’imiterere y’aka karere; bityo Kigali ikazahezwa hagati ikaribatwa umugani wa NYIRABIYORO. Icyiza Kagame ashatse YABYIHORERA kuko, nagira Imana akazaba akiriho ashobora kuzicuza icyamuteye gushotora TANZANIA.

Tanzania ni igihugu gikomeye muri demukarasi kandi ni igihugu gifite igihagararo gikomeye mu ruhando mpuzamahanga ku buryo uyigereranije n’u Rwanda ukabashyira ku munzani umwe nta mahuriro na busa. Hamwe n’ibi bisobanuro byose mbahaye biragaragara ko u Rwanda rudashobora gutsinda Tanzania.

 

Iyi ni nayo mpamvu NYIRABIYORO yasobanuye ko Kagame namara gushinga icumu i Karagwe ingabo ze zikivuga imyato, ingabo za Tanzania zizamushushubikanya zikaruhukira i Kigali NYIRABIYORO yise i Bwanacyambwe kandi koko niko hitwa; hanyuma ngo Kigali bakayinombanomba bakayitera ishyamba umurwa mukuru w’u Rwanda ugasubizwa i Nyanza.

 

Ingaruka ku karere k’ibiyaga bigari

Ubundi mu bubanyi n’amahanga, burya ni ngombwa kwitondera intambara cyane ari nayo mpamvu natwe muri SHIKAMA turimo guteza ubwega duhuruza ngo nibiba ngombwa, Umuryango mpuzamahanga ushyire igitutu kuri Kagame areke umugambi we wo gutera igihugu cya Tanzania. Urebye uko akarere k’ibiyaga bigari gateye mu rwego rw’ubumenyi bw’isi (Cadre géographique), u Rwanda ruramutse ruteye Tanzania, igihugu cy’Uburundi gishobora guhura n’ingaruka zikomeye cyane kubera aho u Burundi buherereye ugereranije na Kigali na Dar Es Salaam.  Binumvikanira no mu cyifuzo Kagame yari yagejeje kuri Leta ya Bujumbura yifuza kunyura ku Kiyaga cya Tanganyika agahingukira mu Mujyi wa Kigoma. Kagame aramutse ateye Tanzania ingabo za Tanzania zishobora kuzenguruka zigasaba kunyura n’i Burundi kugira ngo zibashe kuzengereza Kagame bikaba bizatera ibibazo bikomeye.

 

Ikindi kibazo gikomeye kizaba ku banyarwanda bari mu Karere. Ni nde se ubwo wakwirengagiza uko byazagendekera abanyarwanda bazaba batuye muri Tanzania? Ese ubwo Tanzania niyitabara ikanyura i Burundi, mutekereza ko abanyarwanda baba i Bujumbura bizabagendekera bite? N’ibindi bibazo byinshi cyane…

 

Sobanukirwa Karagwe Nyirabiyoro yaraguye iyo ariyo

 

Karagwe NYIRABIYORO yavuze ko Kagame azigarurira ni imwe mu turere dutandatu tugize Province ya Kagera mu gihugu cya Tanzania. Mu Majyaruguru ya Karagwe hari igihugu cya Uganda, Mu Burasirazuba bwa Karagwe hari akarere kitwa Bukoba ngari, mu Majyepfo hari uturere twa Muleba na Ngara mu gihe mu Burengerazuba bwa Karagwe hari u Rwanda aho bitandukanywa n’umugezi w’Akagera. Ubwo ni ukuvuga ko Karagwe ikora ku Rusumo.  Muri SHIKAMA, dushingiye ku ibarura ry’abaturage muri Tanzania ryakozwe mu mwaka w’2002, icyo gihe Karagwe yari ituwe n’abaturage ibihumbi magana ane makumyabiri na bitanu magana ane mirongo irindwi na batandatu (425,476).

 

Ni akarere keza kandi k’ikibaya ku buryo abaturage biborohera kugenda ku ma pikipiki. Akarere ka Karagwe karimo ibiyaga bine binini cyane kandi bibaha amafi menshi cyane atunga abahatuye. Ibyo biyaga ni : Ikimba, Burigi, Rushwa na Rwakajunju. Akarere ka Karagwe kometswe kuri Tanzania mu gihe nyamara cyera ubutaka bwako bwari butataniye mu bihugu byinshi byo mu karere k’ibiyaga bigari n’ingoma z’abami baho. Tunabibutse ko aha i KARAGWE ari naho NYIRABIYORO waraguye aka kaga kazazanwa na Kagame; yakomokaga. Abaturage batuye i Karagwe bitwa BANYAMBO bakaba bakomoka ku ngoma-cyami yitwaga KITARA yashinzwe n’INGOMA-CYAMI y’abitwaga ABACHWEZI.

Ubwami bwa Karagwe bwageze ku izamuka rikomeye cyane mu bukungu na politiki ahagana mu kinyejana cya 19. Ibi byemezwa n’ubushakashatsi bwakorewe ku BISIGARATONGO (Resources archéologiques) byahavumbuwe mu mpera z’ikinyejana cya 18. Ayo mateka akomeza yerekana ko umwami NDAGARA yageze ku butegetsi bw’iyi ntara mu mwaka w’1820 aza kubuvaho mu 1853 aho yasimbuwe n’uwitwaga RUMANYIKA. Mu mpera z’ikinyejana cya 18, intara ya Karagwe yagize ubukungu bukomeye cyane kandi bwabaye kimenya-bose cyane cyane mu birebana n’ubucuruzi bwo guhinduranya cyangwa kugurana ibigurishwa (Commerce de Troc / Barter Trade) aho bibandaga cyane ku kuguranisha umunyu, urusenda, amacunga, gasegereti, n’ingano.

 

Ahagana mu mwaka w’1800, iyi ntara ya Karagwe yazanywemo n’abagande ibihingwa bishya birimo ibishyimbo n’ibitoki by’inyamunyo bitekwa. Mu 1840, abarabu bageze muri Karagwe bazanywe n’ubucuruzi bw’abacakara. Hahise kandi haza n’ibindi bihingwa birimo inyanya, ibigori, imyumbati, indimu,… Mu 1890, Karagwe yahuye n’ibyago byinshi birimo intambara z’imbere n’amakimbirane, ibyorezo by’indwara n’ubushita na muryamo byibasiye amashyo maze inka zabo zigapfamo nyinshi. Intambara z’amoko zahazanywe n’abadage bari mu rugendo rw’ubukoloni. Muri iyi ntara ya Karagwe, ahagana mu 1900, abadage badukanye ubucuruzi bw’ikawa. Mu gihe na nyuma y’intambara ya kabiri y’isi yose, nibwo muri Karagwe havutse ishyirahamwe rya mbere ryahuzaga abahinzi n’aborozi. Ubwo kandi niko abanyabukoba benshi b’aborozi bahahungiye.

 

Mu 1990, ejobundi aha kandi abanyarwanda b’impunzi ibihumbi ijana na mirongo itandatu na bitanu (165000) bafunguye inkambi 5 muri Karagwe kugeza na magingo aya bamwe muri bo baracyahari kandi barakomeye baratunga baratunganirwa. Karagwe nk’uko twabivuze muri iyi nyandiko, ni nini cyane n’ubwo bigaragara ko idatuwe cyane. Ikindi ni uko ngo ifite ubutaka bwera ku buryo burenze urugero. Karagwe igabanyijemo uturere makumyabiri n’umunani aritwo utu dukurikira : Bugene, Bugomora, Bweranyange, Igurwa, Ihanda, Ihembe, Isingiro, Kaisho, Kamuli, Kayanga, Kibingo, Kibondo, Kihanga, Kimuli, Kiruruma, Kituntu, Kyerwa, Mabira, Murongo, Ndama, Nkwenda, Nyabiyonza, Nyaishozi, Nyakahanga, Nyakakika, Nyakasimbi, Rugu, Rwabwere.

IKARITA YA TANZANIYA

Ese byazashoboka ko nk’uko Nyirabiyoro yabiraguye, iyi ntara yazomekwa ku Rwanda nyuma y’intambara Kagame arimo kwitegura kugaba kuri Tanzania?  Twe muri SHIKAMAturabona hakiri kare cyane kuba twagira icyo tubivugaho kuko byose bizaterwa n’uko Kagame azabyitwaramo. Uko tumubona arasa n’ugambiriye kandi ugamije kwihutisha indagu za Nyirabiyoro. Ese byazashoboka ko Kigali iterwa ishyamba urebye uko amazu arimo kuyitumbagiramo mu bicu? Byose bikazahinduka ubusa aka wa mugani w’UMUBWIRIZA muri Bibiliya? Ese birashoboka ko Umurwa Mukuru w’u Rwanda uzasubizwa i Nyanza? Ese ninde uzafata icyemezo cyo kuwusubizayo? Ikigaragara birimo ibanga ry’Ingoma ya cyami. Ariko se koko ko iby’isi ari amabanga nk’uko Mwungeri wa Nyankaka yabivuze, byashoboka ko agatsiko k’abatutsi bacye cyane bavuye i Bugande baje gusahura u Rwanda no kujujubya abaturage, Byashoboka ko bazirukanwa mu Rwanda nk’uko MAGAYANE yabisobanuriye Habyarimana? Urebye ukuntu baganje i Kigali bica bagakiza?

 

Ese u Rwanda byashoboka ko ruzongera gutegekwa n’umwami? Ese uwo mwami yaba ariwe uzashyikirana na Tanzania akayisaba kuduha intara ya Karagwe nk’igihembo cy’uko bazaba bahinduye KIGALI umuyonga? Ese Rukara rw’igisage uvuga isi igatigita (KIGELI V Ndahindurwa) NYIRABIYORO yavuze ko NTAKABUZA azagaruka mu Rwanda ashaje cyane akururukira mu nda y’inyoni (INDEGE) koko azaza? Ese INGANJI KARINGA Musenyeri Alex KAGAME yasobanuye ko ariyo yatumaga u Rwanda rugira amahoro kandi ikaba yarabuze KIGELI V Ndahindurwa nagaruka azayitaburura aho bikekwa ko ashobora kuba yarayitabye i Nyanza ari kumwe n’umunyamabanga we BENZIGE Boniface banahunganye n’ubu bakaba babana mu nzu imwe muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika? Ese umugabo ngo uzaba ushaje cyane kandi uzaba ari kimenyabose muri politiki y’u RWANDA, NYIRABIYORO yaraguye ko ariwe umuzungu utegeka isi azaha Ubutegetsi hanyuma akanamutegeka gucyura umwami yaba koko ari Faustin TWAGIRAMUNGU nk’uko abantu babihwihwisa? Ese uwo muzungu ni Amerika? Ibi bibazo byose SHIKAMA tuzagenda tubibasesengurira uko iminsi n’amateka bigenda bidusunika bigana imbere.

 

Ikindi tutareka kuvuga ni uko urebye aya mazina y’uturere tugize Karagwe bigaragara ko harimo isano ikomeye n’u Rwanda kuko nk’izina ry’ahitwa i Kibingo no mu Rwanda rirahari, hakaba hari n’akagari ka Kibingo kari mu murenge wa Karama mu cyahoze ari komini Runyinya muri BUTARE. Hariya mu Ruhango inyuma ya Paruwasi usa n’usubira ahagana i Gafunzo werekeza za Rwinyana na Bunyogombe iwabo wa Kagame kwa Rutagambwa hari ahantu hitwa i Kibingo ni nko muri Kilometero 1,5 uvuye ku isoko ryo mu Ruhango. Ririya zina rya Rumanyika no mu Rwanda hari abantu bitwa gutyo ku buryo uwavuga ko imico yahahuriye nta gicumuro yaba akoze. Ikindi ni uko nk’uko twabivuze, abami b’u Rwanda barwaniye aha hantu kandi bagiye banahavana iminyago y’intambara aho twababwiye ko na NYIRABIYORO waraguye ibi twibanzeho nawe akomoka muri aka gace.

 

Ikindi ni uko amateka atwereka ko aba Banyambo ari nabo batuye agace kitwa IGISAKA CY’IMIGONGO na MUTENDERI kwa KAYINAMURA muri Kibungo ku buryo abaturage ba Karagwe na Kibungo kuri bo ari abavandimwe kandi bagenderana bakaba banahuje imico n’imibereho.

RWANDA:Rwanda: Absolute power at any price

FROM THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY VIEW

Gen. Paul Kagame ordered the shooting down of the plane in which President Habyarimana and President Cyprien Ntaryamira of Burundi, French citizens, and all others on board were killed on April 6, 1994. This assassination triggered the genocide. Since then President Kagame has imposed a reign of terror to keep himself and the ruling party in absolute power.

On April 1, 2014, a conference was held in Paris, France, to discuss the Rwandan genocide of 20 years ago. Participants included Dr. Gerald Gahima, a former attorney general of Rwanda, Major Jean Marie Micombero, Carla Del Ponte, former prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, and other leading French military, political and diplomatic figures.

Apparently, through his agents in France,President Kagame tried hard to prevent the conference from taking place. His latest tantrum against the French is essentially his anger that the event took place and that members of the opposition Rwanda National Congress participated.

Kagame’s frustration is that his narrative about Rwanda is being challenged, especially about the shooting down of the plane that killed President Habyarimana in 1994 and sparked the genocide, and his human rights abuses by the rebel Rwandan Patriotic Army before, during and after 1994 in Rwanda and DRC are being exposed. He wants to make the French, Hutu and Belgians the scapegoat.

Speech by Dr. Theogene Rudasingwa

Thank you, Mr. President, for inviting me to speak at this event.

I thank the organizers for their generosity and hospitality.

Let me also take this opportunity to thank the distinguished speakers and participants gathered today to discuss a timely and yet very challenging subject: the Rwandan drama – and truth – as narrated by actors in this drama.

As we begin our deliberations, we are painfully reminded of the timing of this event. For all of us Rwandans, April is always a very difficult month. We both want to remember and forget it, for the pain it evokes is enduring and defining.

Twenty years later we still remember the horror, when Rwandans killed Rwandans.

So let us keep silent for one minute to remember all those who perished during the genocide and massacres of 1994.

As you all know, Rwanda is a centuries old nation, famously known for its two ethnic groups, the Hutu and Tutsi. There is a third, Twa, always conveniently ignored by Rwandans and non-Rwandans because it has not been actively a part of the recent Rwandan drama.

To understand how President Kagame and the ruling party, the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), exercise absolute power, I would like to briefly mention three pivotal moments in Rwanda’s history in the last 100 years, each of which bore the seeds that produced the succeeding series of events:

- Monarchical rule comes under German colonization at the end of the 19th century, succeeded by Belgian colonization until 1962.

- Rwanda becomes a Republic after the 1959 (Hutu) Revolution.

- The Rwandese Patriotic Front (Tutsi) invaded in 1990 and captured state power in 1994.

The pre-1959 period saw the rise of a marginalized Hutu population led by a Hutu elite that challenged the monarchist status quo. The birth of the Rwandan Republic – and the end of the Belgian colonialism – was a violent phenomenon. While bringing social, economic and political benefits to the previously marginalized Hutu community, the 1959 revolution ended up marginalizing the Tutsi community.

Many Tutsi were massacred, and hundreds of thousands fled into exile. The revolution produced Tutsi refugees, followed by waves of insurgency (Inyenzi) that ended in the 1960s.

Within Rwanda, the short-lived multiparty politics abruptly came to an end, as the political space was closed and the country became a one-party state, under the MDR Parmehutu party. Power also became over-centralized in the hands of President Gregoire Kayibanda, who, with time, relied more and more on Hutu from his community in Gitarama, in southern Rwanda.

In 1973, there was a palace coup within the revolution, and Gen. Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu from the north, came to power, subsequently forming his own party, MRND.

The regime remained a Hutu one, and increasingly biased in favor of the north. Rwanda was still a one-party state. Like the previous monarchy before 1959 and Kayibanda’s regime till 1973, power became over-centralized in the hands of President Habyarimana.

Tutsi remained in exile and marginalized within the country. Towards the end of the 1980s and beginning with 1990, President Habyarimana’s regime had lost momentum and was under attack internally from political parties – mainly of Hutu from the south – and from an invasion by Tutsi refugees (RPF) from Uganda.

Under political, economic, military and diplomatic pressure, President Habyarimana reluctantly negotiated the Arusha Peace Agreement with RPF. The peace agreement provided a vision for democratization and the rule of law, power sharing among MRND, RPF and other opposition political parties, establishment of new security institutions – Army and Gendarmerie – and the return of the 1959 refugees.

For a brief moment Rwandans were hopeful that peace, reconciliation, democracy and the rule of law were coming to Rwanda at last.

Then Gen. Kagame struck, ordering the shooting down of the plane in which President Habyarimana, the President of Burundi Cyprien Ntaryamira, French citizens and all others on board were killed. This assassination triggered genocide and massacres. RPF finally captured state power in July 1994 by winning the civil war and ending the Arusha Peace Agreement as we know it.

As Rwanda commemorates 20 years of President Paul Kagame’s reign of terror, it is important to identify the fundamental aspects of his strategy to keep himself and RPF in absolute, violent power.

First, because it was power obtained through violent means, by a minority, it has had to seek legitimacy through the construction of a narrative, a story line so to speak, that begins with genocide, continues with genocide, defines the raison d’etre of the regime and is projected into the future.

According to this narrative, Hutu extremists shot down President Habyarimana’s plane to find cause to start genocide. Belgian colonization is the ideological parent of the ethnic divisions and genocidal ideology. The French helped the Hutu in committing genocide, and the international community abandoned Rwanda. Rwanda’s recovery is phenomenal, and Rwandans owe it to RPF and its sole hero, President Paul Kagame. The RPF regime has even banned French as a language of instruction in Rwanda as part of this new narrative.

Every change must have its narrative and its disciples. And it must have friends to champion and protect it, and enemies against whom it must mobilize and organize. France and the Hutu were initially the only enemies.

The United States and the United Kingdom emerged as the new friends, while Tony Blair and President Clinton became the passionate champions of the new gospel. Anyone who does not agree with this narrative is considered a divisive revisionist and genocidaire. Death, jail, exile or silence are the fate of such critics.

Second, since coming to power in 1994, Kagame’s RPF regime has used organized violence and war as instruments of domestic and foreign policy within and outside Rwanda: the shooting down of President Habyarimana’s plane, which triggered genocide; the murder of Rwandan bishops and priests (1994); the Robert Gersony Report that documented widespread massacres by RPF (1994); the Kibeho massacres (1995); the U.N. Mapping Report of 2010 that documented war crimes, crimes against humanity and even possible acts of genocide against Hutu; assassinations of opponents in Rwanda and abroad, just to mention a few.

In 1994 it assassinated the President of Burundi, Cyprien Ntaryamira.

In 2001, it assassinated the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Laurent Kabila, having invaded that country twice and still maintaining its presence through proxies like M23. Close to 6 million Congolese people have perished due to Kagame’s policies and actions in DRC.

Kagame’s troops fought Ugandan troops in the DRC in 2000. He has picked fights with Tanzania and now South Africa. He has fought Zimbabwe, Angola and Namibia in the DRC.

Close to 6 million Congolese people have perished due to Kagame’s policies and actions in DRC.

Third, within the military and security institutions, he has created an army within an army (Republican Guard and Special Forces), competing intelligence services and informal networks, while retrenching or otherwise marginalizing any real or perceived competitors.

The military are the backbone of the Rwanda government. President Kagame discusses major policies and decisions with senior military commanders before discussing them with civilian assistants. Selected military commanders are the real government; the civilians in government are the technocratic servants of the military.

The Rwanda Defense Forces are, in essence, not a national army. They owe allegiance not to the state or its people, but to one political organization, the Rwandese Patriotic Front, and to its supreme leader, President Kagame. No wonder he calls RDF “my army” and its officers “my officers.”

The RDF is spread throughout the country, and its officers deployed across the world in embassies and as agents in a vast global network. They perform many political functions on behalf of the RPF. The military are responsible for mobilization for the party.

They convince or coerce opinion leaders to join and serve the RPF.

Military officers are responsible for the supervision of the local government officials that the RPF appoints.

RDF is responsible for the rigging of elections in favor of the RPF, and military officers are responsible for ensuring that opponents of the regime everywhere are identified and destroyed.

RDF officers are almost 100 percent Tutsi!

Fourth, within the Rwandese Patriotic Front, his strategy is to marginalize or eliminate real or perceived enemies and transform the party into a rubber stamp to enforce the will of the president. The Rwandese Patriotic Front is unofficially the sole party that is allowed to practice politics in Rwanda.

The party is President’s Kagame’s tool for controlling every aspect of life in Rwanda. The party controls the country through the officials that it appoints to public office at all levels. Its members constitute the overwhelming majority of all institutions.

The party maintains strict control of all these officials by requiring them to take an oath and through disciplinary procedures that are a violation of the laws that require certain public officials to be independent.

The party secretariat functions as a parallel office of the prime minister. The RPF Secretariat is responsible for the appointment of all civilian public officials, including ministers, judges and legislators; draws recommendations for Kagame to approve, if he has made his decision beforehand.

It is responsible for discussing and approving all policy development, including all policy proposals and major decisions to be discussed by Parliament, and disciplining all civilian public officials who are members of the party, including ministers, judges and legislators, who by law should be independent. The party is a vast network of informal government mechanisms that operate at all levels of the organization of state administration.

The Rwandese Patriotic Front is unofficially the sole party that is allowed to practice politics in Rwanda. The party is President’s Kagame’s tool for controlling every aspect of life in Rwanda.

Fifth, formal government institutions – Parliament, judiciary and the executive – are situated very far down the ladder in the power structure of Rwanda. Hutu who are accommodated by the system are mainly found in the formal government. Members of the formal government are merely technocrats implementing the policies of others and are not influential unless they happen to have strong connections in the party, the military or with the president and his wife.

In fact, the RPF ensures that the most important government departments are entrusted to very trusted Tutsi members.

The institutions that are most critical to President Kagame’s strategies for maintaining absolute power are all controlled by Tutsi” Central Bank, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Health, Rwanda Revenue Authority, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Sixth, with regard to political parties, the strategy is to co-opt, corrupt, marginalize or destroy them. Since the short lived experience of working with other political parties in 1995, RPF under President Paul Kagame has completely closed political space for political parties.

The only political parties that are allowed to legally exist and function in Rwanda are those that are allied to RPF. Opposition leaders who have dared to exercise the right to participate in Rwandan politics independently are jailed – former President Pasteur Bizimungu, Charles Ntakirutinka, Victoire Ingabire, Bernard Ntaganda, Deo Mushaidi and others – killed or end up in exile.

Seventh, close space for independent media, civil society and free intellectual expression. Rwandan journalists, human rights activists and NGO leaders have been jailed, killed in and outside Rwanda, and independent newspapers banned.

Eighth, manipulate relationships with foreigners, using guilt and intimidation. President Kagame and RPF have cultivated an elaborate network of foreigners – and a few Rwandans – who have to sell President Kagame’s image and narrative as the sole hero and savior of Rwanda.

Because Rwanda is heavily dependent on aid, and his reputation as the Western-celebrated leader of the “emerging Singapore of Africa” is crucial to the continuous flow of aid, this group of people is crucial in facilitating him. Through what he calls the Presidential Advisory Council (PAC), he is able to promote a soft and deceptive image abroad, especially where it matters most, in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Through lobbying, public relations and access to the media, these facilitators help President Kagame’s self-promotion abroad and shield him from accountability for the crimes he commits on Rwanda, DRC and abroad.

The loudest and most powerful in the whole group are Tony Blair, President Bill Clinton and the American evangelist, Rick Warren. They market President Paul Kagame as one of the most visionary leaders in the world.

Ninth, through his personal and absolute control of money matters, President Kagame finances a three-pronged strategy for sustaining his control of power in Rwanda:

a) Establishing intelligence systems that are able to identify and neutralize all real or perceived threats;

b) Maintaining a strong military that is able both to protect the regime and to project his power abroad; and,

c) Securing the resources to finance the activities of the military and security institutions that keep him in power.

For these resources, President Kagame draws both on public resources and the business activities of the RPF. The men and women who are responsible for generating, managing and delivering these resources are very influential.

Crystal Ventures (formerly Tri-Star Investments) and the Horizon Group, the business enterprises that President Kagame owns, ostensibly belong to the RPF and the Defense Department but are practically his personal businesses. He alone controls this business empire. The accounts of the businesses are secret and never audited independently. The managers of the businesses are answerable to Kagame alone. Kagame does not account to any organ of the RPF on these business and finance matters.

Tenth, the central and decisive piece in the contemporary Rwandan drama is President Kagame himself. I am often asked, what motivates Paul Kagame? How has his character, shaped by being a refugee at a tender age, his involvement in violent wars in Uganda, Rwanda and DRC, affected his outlook on life?

Since the 1980s, Paul Kagame has been at the center of violent conflicts spanning the territories of Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In these conflicts, there has been widespread destruction of life and other horrendous human rights abuses. Kagame bears personal as well as command responsibility for a lot of these crimes, including assassinations and other serious human rights abuses.

Since the 1980s, Paul Kagame has been at the center of violent conflicts spanning the territories of Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

After a lifetime of unimaginable violence, Kagame is a serial killer and mass murderer, a person with no regrets or remorse for the acts of violence that he or others acting on his instructions commit. He is not apologetic about this. On the contrary, he makes it a point in public and private conversations that indeed his opponents must die.

About his recent victim, Col. Patrick Karegeya, assassinated in Johannesburg, South Africa, President Kagame coldly said, “Rwanda did not kill this person … I wish Rwanda did it … I really wish it.”

Asked about the shooting down of President Habyarimana’s plane, he was quoted as saying, “I don’t give a damn.”

And he is relentless and always takes bigger risks, far beyond rational behavior. A few weeks after assassinating Col. Karegeya, Rwandan agents tried to assassinate Gen. Kayumba Nyamwasa for the third time, triggering a diplomatic crisis between South Africa and Rwanda.

After a lifetime of unimaginable violence, Kagame is a serial killer and mass murderer, a person with no regrets or remorse for the acts of violence that he or others acting on his instructions commit.

Probably a result of his past crimes, President Kagame is very paranoid about plots to remove him from power and about his security in general.

Kagame’s actions are influenced in large measure by a reckoning with his past. Kagame believes that a person’s name or reputation is his or her most precious possession. He has established a false reputation of frugality, incorruptibility, accountability in government and military hero who stopped the genocide. Preserving this false image is critical to the preservation of Kagame’s monopoly of power in Rwanda.

Kagame’s greatest concern is that the people who have information, including on corruption and responsibility for assassinations, war crimes and crimes against humanity in Uganda, Rwanda and the DRC, may tarnish the public image that he has crafted.

Kagame’s criminal background – and the need to avoid being held accountable – explains why he is bent on staying in power at all costs, including the assassination of political opponents, especially those who know him very well.

Kagame has established a false reputation of frugality, incorruptibility, accountability in government and military hero who stopped the genocide. Preserving this false image is critical to the preservation of Kagame’s monopoly of power in Rwanda.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me summarize the salient features of President Paul Kagame’s and RPF’s 20-year reign of terror: a distorted and deceptive narrative that criminalizes Hutu in particular and all his opponents in general; over-reliance on violence and war-making nationally and regionally; “Tutsi-fication” of the leadership of the military while eliminating real and potential competitors; transformation of the ruling RPF into a rubber stamp to enforce his will while eliminating real or perceived contenders to power; usurping and over-centralization of legislative, executive and judiciary powers; closure of political space for political parties, civil society, independent media and intellectual activity; personal control of a financial empire that is spread across public and private sectors; and the mindset of a serial killer and mass murderer who relentlessly acts with impunity.

It is this state of affairs that led some of us former members of RPF and partners of President Paul Kagame to break ranks and, with other Rwandans across the ethnic divide, establish the Rwanda National Congress (RNC), with the following objectives:

- Stop and prevent violent conflict, including genocide and grave human rights violations, that Rwanda’s people have periodically suffered and that have historically extended to citizens – men, women and children – of neighboring states;

- Eradicate a culture of impunity for human rights violations;

- Create a conducive and progressive environment for inclusive social and economic development for all the people of Rwanda;

- Establish, nurture and institutionalize democratic governance, particularly the rule of law in all its aspects;

- Establish independent, non-partisan, professional civil service and security institutions;

- Build a stable society that promotes and protects equality, embraces and celebrates diversity, and fosters inclusion in all aspects of national life;

- Promote individual, community and national reconciliation and healing;

- Promote harmonious relations, reconciliation and mutually-beneficial collaboration with the peoples and governments of neighboring states;

- Resolve the chronic problem of Rwandan refugees; and,

- Nurture a culture of tolerance to diverse ideas, freedom of discussion and debate of critical issues.

At the heart of our program, widely shared with the majority of Rwandans and in the political platform our organization belongs to with FDU-Inkingi and Amahoro Peoples Party, is the triple challenge to

a) build an army and security institutions that are national instead of being hostage to ethnic-based cliques;

b) ensuring fundamental freedoms and democracy with guarantees for minorities; and

c) pursuing truth, reconciliation and justice for all as indispensable conditions for sustainable peace in Rwanda and the Great Lakes region.

We have preached this and dialogue as the pathway to peaceful change, but President Paul Kagame has responded consistently with violence, resolutely stating and acting to exclude any possibility for peaceful reforms in Rwanda.

Now Rwanda, as in 1959 and 1994, is at crossroads again, bending towards civil war and more bloodshed.

President Paul Kagame and his RPF are armed and dangerous, have taken 11 million Rwandans hostage and threaten, once again, to set the whole Great Lakes Region on fire.

Another civil war and genocide are not inevitable but preventable. However, the window of opportunity is closing fast.

The international community has an obligation to help Rwandans resist, contain, stop and reverse President Paul Kagame’s reign of terror. Twenty years of appeasement have simply made his regime more intransigent and ever ready to act with impunity.

President Paul Kagame and his RPF are armed and dangerous, have taken 11 million Rwandans hostage and threaten, once again, to set the whole Great Lakes Region on fire. Another civil war and genocide are not inevitable but preventable.

The first step in this process is to get the narrative on Rwanda right. I am glad this conference seeks to do that.

The second step is to overcome fear and guilt and speak out. History shows that fear and silence are very powerful weapons in the hands of dictatorial regimes.

The third step is to do no harm. If you cannot help Rwandan people, at least do not help those who are killing them. To those in alliance with him in London and Washington, D.C., we say to you: Enough is enough! Stop aiding and rewarding President Kagame’s criminal behavior.

Lastly, let us connect and network. Dictatorial regimes love to face the oppressed in isolation and to vanquish them one by one.

If we can pool our minds and actions together, we will make France’s motto, “Liberty, Equality and Fraternity,” itself a universal human aspiration, relevant and possible for Rwanda’s future as it has been for the French for centuries now.

Thank you!
