It has been fifteen years since the genocide that devastated Rwanda in 1994, and while the players and sides have changed, the politics sadly remain largely the same. Rwanda is enmeshed in another cycle of repression, with an elite that represents a clear minority
engaged in legal and extra-legal policies that impoverish the majority of the people in the country. In addition, this repression and violence flow across borders in the region, particularly into the neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) as evidenced recently.
Unfortunately for all involved, while foreign aid is crucial for the development of Rwanda and to lift it out of poverty, this same foreign aid is actually perpetuating the crisis. The government rules by and for the elite Tutsis who came out of Uganda in 1994 and their small group of allies. However, aid that flows to that government has the perverse effect of enabling this group to keep control – even when that control actually stems from purposefully limiting the development of the vast majority of the people in the country.

Foreign trainings has enabled a groups of ethnic Tutsi mainly from Ouganda ( many wee members of Ougandan army, with ougandan passport) to build a terrorrising group ( we avoid the word terrorist) called FPR.
ReplyDelete- Foreign diplomatic and military support has enabled this group to attach Rwanda and terrorise the population for 4 years ( from 1990 to 1994);
- Foreign media has distorted what happened in Rwanda in 1994 and the world perception of the ethnics groups in Rwanda ( Tutsi = good and Hutu=Bad) even if the unfortunate massacre was trigerred by FPR shooting down a civialian aircraft and killing 2 elected africans presidents,
- Foreign "laws" and "justice" systems trial only african bantu ( from Bagasora to Jean Pierre Mbemba), blank cheque or even "honoris causa" diploma offered to Tutsi killers why the White person or the western corporate behind the tragedy is not even mentionned,
- Foreign intelligentisia has created a "intellectual terrorism" with consequence that if somebody trying to express his anger toward this big injustice again Black bantus, killed by the millions by Tustis, he will be protrayed as " hatred". The funny thing is no many westerners like Nazy Germans. When they say that, nobody accuses them of "hatred".
This is stupidity we have to challenge and will do.
- With foreign support, the same groups from Ouganda immediatly crossed the border of the Congo, to secure for the West the access to mineral rich Kivu where , as planned by Kansteiner and the likes ( Clinton, Madeleine Albrigh, Tony B'liar, Clarck Short, Louis Michel, Susan Rice, etc), Bantou population are being killed by the millions (6 millions congoleses).
Foreign Aid to Rwanda is more the wages paid to proxy army.
Foreign Aid to Rwanda has financed the deadliest war since world war 2,
Foreign Aid to Rwanda is the West litterally terrorising all Black africans using, very very sad to say, a small group of ethnic tutsi whose, survival in the future in Africa will depend of this Western supports,
Like Mobutu protected Western interest against the Communists in the 1960 an Congo became a strong state, ethnic tutsi in Kigali are prepared to protect their interest against China.
Africans do not count in this battle unless we stop crying and start by saying: NO, enough is enough. 8 millions deads on the sciage of the same ethnic group from Ouganda in 20 years, we have to stop this madness.
Africans, wake up, like Asia, like South America.
All over the world, we have seem strong regime defying the West politically, economically, intellectually, diplomatically, ... militarily.
And they have done so, very successfully.
The problem with the British is that they never feel any shame of what they do. For them, all they do is normal even when it is not convenient to others. Imagine that they do never include any person from the African Diaspora in their consultant teams they send to Africa. They only offer some of them short-term trips to Africa for unpaid voluntary work. The British are in competition with Africans to access to jobs in Africa and with African Diaspora to access to funding and jobs in the UK. For the British, this is normal and correct. Then they debate how UK can have a "Barack Obama". With this cancer of discrimination within the British society, there will be no "UK Barack Obama".
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, these so-called British experts are only white British. They go to Africa as consultants and leave behind black Africans from the African Diaspora who know better than them about African problems and priorities. The white British believe that the black Africans from the Diaspora have no skills to the job while they attended the same universities in the UK. To solve this problem, UK have established volunteer schemes used to send black Africans to do unpaid volunteer work.
Consultants take much of UK foreign aid.
"Aid needs to help the poorest, not line the pockets of western consultants, " a report by ActionAid, a British group, say. They claim that too much aid continues to be identified, designed and managed by donors tied to their countries' own firms, and poorly coordinated.
CharityAid claims that more than 100 million pounds (more than $200 million) of Britain's 5-billion [pounds sterling] aid budget, was spent on consultants.
