Tanzania: Dar Keen On Peace Talks With Rwanda

6 posts - 3 authors - Last p
TANZANIA plans to hold talks with Rwanda to iron out differences that
the government says have been blown out of proportion by the media.

Revealing the above at a press conference in Dar es Salaam, Foreign
Affairs and International Cooperation Minister Bernard Membe stressed
that Tanzania has no conflict with Rwanda. "There has been what we
call a ball point war between Rwanda and Tanzania.

However, we are planning talks to iron out the differences that have
emerged -- and continue to live like brothers," Mr Membe explained.

The minister added that if left unchecked, such kind of media
propaganda can jeopardise relations between countries that have been
enjoying good diplomatic relations. He said what was missing between
the two countries is lack of trust, noting that it takes time to build
trust.

"The official talks between the two nations will be the starting
point," he pointed out.

A Rwandan newspaper, which is owned by the government, had published
fabricated and malicious reports accusing President Jakaya Kikwete of
supporting members of rebel groups opposed to the government in
Kigali.

Mr Membe said Tanzania did not send troops to the Democratic Republic
of Congo (DRC) to fight the M23 but rather it sent forces to join the
United Nations Peacekeeping Force there.

He said latest reports from Goma in DRC show that peace is finally
being restored in the area, which was essentially the mission of the
peacekeeping force.

"According to our envoy in Goma, peace is finally getting restored in
the area and our boys will stay there for one year until peace is
fully restored," he explained.

Meanwhile, commenting on the Lake Nyassa border conflict between
Tanzania and Malawi, Mr Membe said the two countries are expected to
meet with the Reconciliation Panel led by former Mozambican President
Joaquim Chissano in June after Malawi's general elections.

Mr Membe said the two parties will present the pro and cons of the
lake border being disputed in the second meeting. He reported that the
panel tasked the two parties to focus on social rather than legal
facts surrounding the lake conflict.

"The panel asked both parties to focus on local conditions around the
lake and the positive and negative impacts if the border is at the
middle or if the whole lakes belong to Malawi," he explained.

He said both parties presented before the panel legal evidence over
"who owns which" portion of the lake.

[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...
