Opinion: Suspicion surrounds British designs on Great Lakes Region

Dear RK,
Allow me a space in your reputable website to make a personal observation regarding events in our region, which at first sight may seem totally inconsequential to us Ugandans.
The reported swoop on Rwanda by British parliamentarians, headed by Henry Mitchell supposedly to teach a class of Rwandan teachers English language, (Times of London, Wed 06/08/08), captioned “Rwanda given two weeks of Tory Administration” seems strange to me, to say the least. Last year the Conservative Party Leader, David Cameron, a probable successor to Mr Gordon Brown, joined a smaller set of Tory volunteers in Rwanda to highlight project Umubano (Times of London pg 9-06/08/08). How come British MPs have become teachers over night? Equally surprising was the recent report that Mr. Tony Blair, former British Prime Minister, accepted appointment as Advisor to the Rwanda government. Since when has a former British Prime Minister stooped so low as to accept an obscure appointment as “Advisor” to what they love to call a “tin pot little African country”?. Why has Rwanda, a region smaller than our Karamoja region, suddenly become so important to the British? Since when have vultures swarmed in one spot where there is no carcass?
It may seem as impertinent a question as when Sir Isaac Newton asked himself “why does an apple fall” from its’ tree. This apparently impertinent question led to a very pertinent answer that we know today as the theory of gravitation, etc.
I recall that soon after the fall of Field Marshall Amin in 1979, a French charity went about distributing food in Karamoja, when the area was ravaged by famine. The British media were quick to cry “foul” …”what are the French doing in a former British colony?” they cried. As if Uganda was their property for life! But if we are to allow that former colonists still have exclusive rights to African countries, who do we see now in broad daylight encroaching on a former Belgian (French speaking) colony, contrary to the Munroe agreement/doctrine? It is now an open secret that the Anglo-Saxons, in their everlasting greed for other countries’ resources are re-colonising by stealth, former French, Portuguese, even Spanish Colonies in Africa, eg, Equatorial Guinea. I mean the foiled “dogs of war” style of coup d’état, planned by the son of X-British Prime Minister, Mark Thatcher and his cabal. Don’t be fooled that the British establishment knew nothing about it. The testimonies of Mr. Mann and others were reported in most international news media. For a sample of what is available, see for example, Our friend, the African dictator and Hedge funds lift the lid on African deception
Equally, certain events in our Great Lake Region, such as the incessant war in Somalia may seem like it has nothing to do with us in Uganda. This view is wrong and naive indeed. Remember that President Bush came to power with the sponsorship of American oil corporations. Four American oil companies, Chevron, Conoco, Phillips Petroleum and Amoco (now British Petroleum) had been granted petroleum concession in 1989 by the deposed Somali President Siad Barre. Even though this grant is now time barred/superseded by supervening events, the oil men still want us to believe that it is valid until Jesus comes back! The Somali war therefore has nothing to do with Islamic fundamentalism or “the war on terrorism” as American government propaganda wants us to believe. It is about resources. (see Oil in Darfur? Special Ops in Somalia?). Just as the war in North/North-Eastern Uganda is being waged by M7 and his partners in crime, Tullow/Harman Resources/Heritage oil & Gas concessions, because of the oil and gold, possibly uranium that covers Easter Congo/ Bunyoro /Northern Uganda; see Northern Uganda: Hidden War and Massive Suffering. Another White People’s War for Oil. and DARFURISM, UGANDA & U.S. WAR IN AFRICA
I fear that because of the vast untapped resources of Uganda , oil included, as long as we remain in the hands of the present ruling cabal, Uganda could be heading in the direction of Somalia , or even worse. Those White Buccaneers thrive best when there is confusion.
It seems that Ugandan born and former Director of Military Intelligence of M7, President Kagame is taking advantage of the presence of a large number of British parliamentarians to shout aloud for the whole world to hear that the genocide in Rwanda was the work of Senior French officials (The Telegraph-06/08/08, pg 14), including the then incumbent French President Francois Miterrand. Could it be that he was tacitly encouraged to do so by Whitehall as to distract world attention from their surreptitious missions to Rwanda, a former Belgian (French speaking) country?
We Ugandans know very well that even before the public outrage in Rwanda which broke out on 6th April 1994, following the death of Presidents Juvenile Habyarimana of Rwanda and Cyprian Ntaryamira of Burundi respectively, the genocide of Hutus by RPF/NRA from Uganda side was already in full swing, but was still concealed to the whole world, except to the organizers, M7 & co and their Americans/British backers. Unfortunately, this fact was buried in the avalanche of events that followed the post 6th of April, 1994 uprising and genocide. There are books and articles, websites, etc, already available on the untold truth of the Rwanda genocide, ie, the cover-up, the reasons behind the invasion of Rwanda by Uganda and the people involved in the planning and execution of the genocide of Hutus. See Remigius Kintu, “The truth behind the Rwanda Tragedy” presented to ICRT at Arusha, 20/03/2005. Also see “US sponsored Rwanda genocide” and its aftermath by Keith Harmon Snow.
Details of the invasion plan was also faxed to Kenya Times and reported under the heading “New plan to invade Rwanda” dated 15/12/1990, by Philip Ochieng. If anything it is Kagame’s hosts (the British) and the Americans who should answer for the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. Could it also be that Mr. Kagame is trying to blackmail French leaders to drop the case of his indictment by a French judge? Instead of accusing French leaders, would Kagame please care to tell us who shot the plane that killed the two presidents? There is no way the case can be tried without answering this crucial question, because of the inescapable legal requirement to establish “causation”; both factual, and legal causation. Be that as it may, the future of the minority Tutsis in Rwanda (or any where else) is better guaranteed by acceptance of democracy and reconciliation with the majority Hutus and not by changing colonial masters, just because they promise them continuance of their minority rule and concealment of human rights abuse.
During the same time I noticed that there is a Sudanese military delegation in Rwanda supposedly there to learn from Rwanda how the regime succeeded in converting their RPF into a regular national army. The Sudanese would do well to talk to victims of the regime, the Hutus, of Rwanda. They would discover a very ugly side of that army, ie the covert and continuous extermination of the Hutu people, a policy they would not like to import into their new Southern Sudan, if ever it will gain its sovereignty, after their expected referendum. It seems to me that GOSS leaders have not bothered to try and understand the geopolitical events of the Great Lake Region. They are apparently still unaware of the ethnic thread which runs through the Kigali , Bujumbura and Kampala regimes. This is even more so when more Sudanese have come to believe that the Kampala regime had a hand in the death of their late leader Dr. John Garang.
Is it any wonder why M7 is rushing to bring about the East African federation, without setting any criteria whatsoever? In Europe conditions were set for admission into the EU, such as economic performance, harmonization of laws and most of all, the existence of democracy. It was naive of Kenya and Tanzanian not to insist on definite convergence criteria such as a common working language(s) English/French and most important of all, democracy as preconditions for membership. We all know that all the three Tutsi controlled member states are hanging on to power by keeping their armies “tribal”, hence they are able to rig elections with impunity. This means that major decisions affecting our resources, land and liberty are/will be decided by unelected dictators (I mean rigged elections). If Ugandans are not vigilant, we could find ourselves under Tutsi/Hima minority rule for a very long while indeed! We know now that all the four Tutsi controlled regimes (including Eastern D R C under Nkunda) survive by maintaining genocide as the cornerstone of their rule, if only because they would become instant victims of democracy!
All genuine Ugandans and our legislators alike please take note of what is happening in the G L R and unite to save our country from re-colonisation.

The Truth can be buried and stomped into the ground where none can see, yet eventually it will, like a seed, break through the surface once again far more potent than ever, and nothing can stop it. Truth can be suppressed for a “time”, yet it cannot be destroyed. ==> Wolverine
