President Kagame with the emperor’s new clothes on



[Since 1994, the world witnesses the horrifying Tutsi minority (14%) ethnic domination, the Tutsi minority ethnic rule with an iron hand, tyranny and corruption in Rwanda. The current government has been characterized by the total impunity of RPF criminals, the Tutsi economic monopoly, the Tutsi militaristic domination, and the brutal suppression of the rights of the majority of the Rwandan people (85% are Hutus)and mass arrests of Hutus by the RPF criminal organization =>AS International]

There is a western tale about an emperor who liked
showing off during ceremonies he organised at his palace, pretending how great
and intelligent he was. Two weavers proposed to make for him an invisible cloth
that would only be appreciated by clever people, but stupid ones, because of
their ignorance, would be incapable since they wouldn’t be able to see it.
The weavers extorted a lot of money from the emperor
to process the cloth. Once finished they made him wear it. While totally naked
but with the invisible cloth on, he walked among his subjects in the hall of
the banquet. None of his terrorized people could say a thing for fear of being
considered as stupid. It was only a child who in the audience told her parents
she was with – and speaking quite in a noticeable way – that the emperor was
naked.
This is the tale that the piece initially written on
08.05.15 in Kinyarwanda by the editor of theRwandan, Marc Matabaro, reminds me
of. He asked me to translate it for English speakers. First and foremost
he will forgive me if I don’t, in his views or those who will have read the
other version, manage to reproduce fully what he meant in his original text. He
should be however assured that I will have done my best. Please find below the
translation.
 
Burundi-Rwanda: as president
Kagame climbs to the top, he is more and more showing his true picture (of
nakedness) exposing himself
While the situation in Burundi is
worsening by the day, and people are more preoccupied by what is going on in
that country, in Rwanda instead those supporting president Kagame are busy
fabricating necessary citizens’ signatures and being ready for the change of
the constitution.

Translation of the message Subject: Changing Article 101 of the
constitution We are asking staff to fill in the sheets attached to this email
so article 101 can be changed to enable H.E. Paul Kagame to be eligible for
another term and lead us again. Staff must write down their identity details
and sign. Completed sheets need to be sent back to Jean and Andre from HR.
Those sheets are needed not late than 13/5/2015. Aaron Turamye
It was reported that the Rwandan parliament had so far received2
million signatures
requesting change of the
constitution to allow president Kagame to participate in the next presidential
elections. Let me remind you that two million is the same number as the one of
those sentenced by Gacaca courts which judged one side and one ethnic group
only.
While the Rwandan regime is fuelling chaos in Burundi and even trying to
tarnish president Nkurunziza’s image internationally,
President
Kagame has this time expressed where he stood on the Burundian case
. It’s true his views were normally known, but what was missing was the
platform for their public announcement.
On the opposite of his colleague, in order to show that he is liked by his
citizens, president Kagame confirmed that president Nkurunziza’s compatriots
don’t want him; it is questionable if president Kagame organised any surveys to
measure the likelihood of his assertion! “If your own citizens tell you
we don’t want you to lead us, how do you say I am staying whether you want me
or not,”
said Kagame.

In Rwanda there is no respect of human rights, and for that reason
president Kagame is not entitled to be teaching democracy to Burundians.
What president Kagame forgets
is that president Nkurunziza, accepts at least that those who don’t want him to
voice their grievances publicly, while in the case of Rwanda there is no
respect of human rights, and for that reason president Kagame is not entitled
to be teaching democracy to Burundians.

While president Kagame accuses president Nkurunziza of bad governance and
consequently claims that his citizens are requesting his removal, 
president Kagame
forgets deliberately what he said publicly
 when he announced when he won’t have someone to replace him at the
end of his term in office, he will have failed.
President
Kagame made the accusation far away from Rwanda
  at a conference organised by St Gallen University in Switzerland
during its annual symposium; it is well documented when Rwanda is planning to
get involved in regional suspicious operations, president Kagame makes sure he
is outside of his country.
From tangible evidence president Kagame is more and more showing who he is
and how he is involved in the Burundian crisis. Rwandan security services
searched for Burundians on their payroll in Burundi and linked them with
Belgian lawyer 
Me
Bernard Maingain who normally represents RPF’s interests in the case of the
shooting down president Habyarimana’s plane
. The plan was to fabricate factual elements that might show that there
were plans for a genocide in Burundi then send them to UN. This Maingain
confirms that Burundi is on the verge of using Interahamwe and FDLR to execute
the genocidal plan.
This strategy goes hand in hand with the
recruitment of some Burundian politicians
. There is evidence that even foreign
organisations
 appear to be implicated.
Furthermore, there is the Burundian class of politicians who want to get into
power without passing through elections and therefore 
oppose
the holding of planned elections
.
The observed vivid discreditation of president Nkurunziza is accompanied
with the ongoing crazy hype in Rwanda where on every inch of the
territory 
almost
all citizens
 and associations, except the Catholic
Church
, are being asked to write
letters requesting change to the constitution. There are even those
apparently 
reported
saying that if president Kagame was not allowed to be elected again, they were
ready to die
!
The way things are evolving is that every effort is being put into the
forced signing of testimonies of support so that the operation is completed by
the end of the month. Speculators confirm that president Kagame wants to change
the constitution while people are preoccupied and distracted by the Burundian
crisis, given the fact that 
the
Rwandan regime is actively supporting those opposed to President Nkurunziza by
giving them channels of expression.
A fast track referendum
appears to be very plausible because the international community is more
seriously preoccupied by the Burundi crisis (than anything else), in the sense
that if that Rwandan referendum on its constitution could be done without major
incident that “would oppose that will of the people,” given that there is
already 2 million testimonies of support to show whoever would be doubtful.
There is not much to say about such referendum since we know well how Rwandan
elections are run and rigged.
In addition to changing the constitution, by so doing allowing president
Kagame to rule indefinitely or become a king, in the coming days Rwandans will
be soon asked to be 
praying a god called
Kagame!
Even though the RPF regime carries on intimidating and oppressing Rwandans,
there are however some among them who have overcome their fear, so much so that
Kagame and his government cannot hope 100% that there won’t be any huddles
given that there are 
anonymous
tracks
 in Rwanda, particularly
in university circles, calling the youth to rise against president Kagame.
