Britain’s Budget support for aiding the genocide and massacres

The British aid of £50 millions each year for 15 years to Rwanda for budget support is killing thousands of Congolese and Rwandan Hutu in DRC. Rwanda Hutu refugee have now fled to forests where they are dying of hunger and diseases. British have destabilised the Great lakes region for so long from Museveni, Kagame and now Nkunda.

You did this to root out your traditional French enemies from the Great lakes region. You did so to control RDC natural resources, to have Rwanda as an Anglophone country. The British went to Rwanda to testify against the French for their alleged involvement in the genocide and wrote books about this. The UK media are s full of stories that disseminate these allegations against the French.

Many Rwandan and African people believe that the British benefit from the current diplomatic tensions between France and Rwanda. All people Africans do not understand why the British has focused too much on Rwanda in recent years. It is a shame for the British to fight against the French people and their interests. This is not a correct behaviour for a civilised country in 21 century.

You are involved in exploiting DRC mineral resources and you use Kigali as a gateway hub to access them. We all know why you have been so much involved in Rwandan affairs. You are an invisible hand of the Rwandan genocide.

You refused to intervene to stop the Rwanda genocide because you were confident that Kagame will win the war. Your intervention could have meant preventing Kagame to take the power in Rwanda. Then you decided to support him so that he can finish the job in collaboration with Museveni.

It is a shame that the leader of the UK Conservative Party went to Rwanda to speak to a non-elected parliament. It is a shame that 100 people from the Conservative Party spent 30 days in Rwanda in hotels built using the British tax payer’s money. These people do not know anything about the lives of Rwandan poor people who live on less than one dollar a day, who are able to take a meal only once in 24 hours. It was a shame that Members of the Conservative Party were concerned only with teaching English on streets of the Kigali capital .

Rwandan do not need English. They need food, freedom and rights( civil, political, social and economical) to participate fully in their society. You need to understand that Kagame is using the genocide as a weapon and selling point to attract international donor funding, destabilise his neighbours, violate human rights and strengthen his political base.

Britain did not give any penny to the Rwandan government during the former regime of the President Habyarimana. They have to wait Kagame to help Rwandans. This the evidence of their discrimination against the Hutu community. The British should not try to take positions about Rwandan affairs in UK or at the international level.

BBC has campaigned to much in favour of the dictator Kagame. They have been providing him with coverage even during his elections campaign. The UK government gives him money to enable him to select the members of the Parliament who are 75% from his own party ( the RPF who invaded Rwanda).

What you are doing now is too little too late. Your aid is killing us: our families, friends, children, brothers and sisters, mums, dads and elderly. Your aid is legitimising Kagame to violate human rights, to stay on power, and to prevent democracy in Rwanda. But because of your interests, you do not care about all this.

What you need to do about Rwanda is this:

-Urge Kagame to allow opposition parties to operate freely and allow the parties in exile to return to Rwanda,
-Urge Kagame to establish and Truth and Reconciliation Commission, especially by allowing the Hutus also to mourn their dead people during the genocide,
-Urge Kagame to consider that the memorials of the genocide should be the memorials of all Rwandan ethnic communities dead in the genocide, not for political propaganda. These memorials contain the rests of both Hutu and Tutsi who massacred in the genocide , but Kagame collected them and labelled them as the rests of the Tutsi only.
-Urge Kagame to allow the civil society and the press to work freely, and to be established as new bodies;.
-Make sure the British aid benefit all ethnic communities, especially rural poor people;
- Urge Kagame to organise dialogue with the Rwandan opposition parties in exiles starting from Britain
-Make sure Kagame do not continue to use his unique selling point of genocide to destabilise his neighbours, misuse foreign aid, discriminate against his own people, oppress his own people
-Urge Kagame to punish the members of his rebellions who have killed thousands of Hutu during the war , especially in the regions of Byumba, Kibungo, Gikongoro camp; and who have massacred 300, 000 Hutu refugees in 1996 during the Kagame ‘s invasion of ex-Zaire.
-Urge Kagame to request the UN to establish an independent international commission to investigate the circumstances of the shooting down of the planes that were carrying the former presidents of Rwanda and Burundi , which are believed to have triggered the genocide.

[RwandaLibre] Rwanda : 19 ans après les massacres de Kibeho restent toujours impunis

  http://www.fdu-rwanda.com/ Rwanda : 19 ans après les massacres de Kibeho restent toujours impunis avril 22, 2014     Ce 22 avril 2014 est un triste anniversaire. Souvenons-nous, en effet, c'est à cette date que plus de 8'000 réfugiés dans le camp de Kibeho furent tués à l'arme lourde et aux lance-roquettes des soldats du Front Patriotique Rwandais. Des dizaines de milliers de rescapés du camp qui ont tenté ensuite de s'échapper ont été froidement abattus sur leur chemin de retour, les uns, jetés dans des fosses communes, d'autres, jonchés tout le long des routes, d'autres enfin, tout simplement disparus, sans la moindre trace.   Le camp de réfugiés de Kibeho abritait près de 200000 personnes. Que l'on se rappelle, c'est peu avant le 17 avril 1995 que, sous le prétexte fallacieux de démantèlement de prétendus arsenaux d'armes, six bataillons de l'armée du FPR (2000 hommes) et de la...
