RPF terrorism and the Rwandan Genocide Test

[Since 1994, the world witnesses the horrifying reality : the Tutsi minority (14%) ethnic domination, the Tutsi minority ethnic rule, 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 with an iron fist, and the brutal suppression of the rights of the majority of the Rwandan people (85% are Hutus), mass-arrests and mass-murder by the RPF criminal organization.

  So long as justice and accountability for RPF past and current crimes are ignored and delayed, Peace and Stability will remain illusive and impossible in Rwanda=>ASIF]

 Dear Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, Statesmen, Stateswomen and the world community:
 Hear us out, please!
An open letter to the United Nations and the world community by the African Survivors advocates from around the world:
 It has been nearly  17 years since our beloved country has been hijacked by a group of Tutsi extremists headed by General Paul Kagame, believed to have assassinated millions of Rwandans, Hutus and Tutsis, planned and triggered the Rwandan Genocide and planned and  initiated the Congolese Genocide. More than 6 million Congolese and Rwandan Hutus have been mass-murdered by Kagame’s army, RDF or by his proxy armies, RCD and CNDP, headed by Ruberwa, Nyarugabo, Bizima Karaha, Mutebusi, Nkunda and Bosco Ntaganda.
 Ironically the world community banded together (1990-1993) and applied immense pressure on the previous Habyarimana regime on respecting “human rights” and ” freeing ” Ibyitso” and launch the pluralism in the country to only to paved way for eventually what lead to an unprecedented raise to Hutu anger and concerns later labeled either “Hutu extremism or Hutu power” and instability in the African Great lakes Region we are witnessing now.
 In the past 17 years of Kagame and RPF United Nations has received countless reports from credible NGOs and human rights organizations world wide on Kagame and RPF’s systematic human rights abuses, executions and  unlawful imprisonment of political opponents such us Deo Mushayidi, Me Bernard Ntaganda, Niyitegeka, Charles Ntakirutinka, journalists Uwimana Agnes and Mukakibibi and civil lawyers including Peter Erlinder, Ms Ingabire’s lawyer, the execution of priests and bishops, the murder of Rwandan businessmen, teachers and students ordinarily Rwandan peasants believed to happen Hutu ethnic members, imprisonment and torture of the would-be president of Rwanda Mrs Ingabire Umuhoza Victoire, a mother of three children.
 Despite of all these atrocities, lies and deceit RPF and Kagame, embolden by the world community’s neutrality, have the audacity to step on the world stage and make mockery of world’s universally recognized values and give us lecture on the most basic and obvious human and civil rights due to the complicity and plot of some westerners aimed to whitewash and or hide Gen. Kagame’s criminal records!
 The question is: Will continue the world community to turn a blind eye or like last year after publication of the UN Mapping Report and treat General Kagame to a slap on the face and walk out?
  We freedom loving people of Rwanda seeking to establish a just and secular society which respects human dignity and need the world support to rid the world from the chock hold RPF government and General Paul Kagame, the Rwandan dictator have imposed on all of us.
The world governments must dig deep and stand on the right side of the history. Stand with people of Rwanda. People always all right and know who helped in the time of need. It is now that Rwanda shall find its true partners for a more secure and prosperous tomorrow.
 As a matter of fact, here are some examples that show you how Paul Kagame, his allies and accomplices have tested the Rwandan genocide beginning with the assassination of Rwandans in the northern region, the rape of those Hutu women in that region as a weapon of war, the assassination of the first democratically elected Burundian president.
 The voice of survivors and millions of victims of Paul Kagame and RPF criminals may not get to you or fall on deaf ears but one thing is for certain it is from our heart, it is from cry of the Mothers whose young Sons and Daughters were publicly hanged, beaten, raped, akandoyed dragged into streets before or after RPF took power in 1994. Our voice is the cry of systematic torture and illegal imprisonment of the finest individuals whose only crime is seeking what you and I take for granted “basic human freedom”.
Hear us out!

Violence, Regionalism and Ethnicity: the RPF Strategy for Conquering Power in Rwanda
The massacres carried out from 1990 to 1993, like those of 1994, have been envisaged by the RPF instigators as instruments in the conquest of seizure of power in Kigali. At the same time, those massacres and assassinations plus serial killings in the Nyacyonga death camp for IDPs were seen by RPF philosophers, allies and accomplices as the best instrument to increase the anger among the Hutu community preparing the 1994 tragic events. The recourse to war and massacre of the Hutu population in the northern region of Rwanda for the purposes of “restoring” a political order rested upon a conception of power as RPF indivisible bloc, whose conquest determines the ruin of other claimants (Braud, 2005: 353/359; de Lame, 1997: 161, have both referred to a ‘winner takes all’ approach) in particular MRND and MDR and now FDU-Inkingi and Imberakuli social parties. Such is the extent to which clientelistic ties did not leave any sector sheltered from power that opting politically for the worst imposed its own order; and it was unconditional.
 An eye-witness stated the following: “Before you started causing havoc on thecountry of Rwanda in 1990, when you started shelling its innocent people from Uganda with big sophisticated weapons and big guns, all this social development and the economic progress was there in Rwanda at even a  faster rate than you would want people who do not know these facts to believe. People who know Rwanda can bail me out on this”.

Three main episodes or stages were necessary before the mastermind of the Rwandan genocide to assassinate President Habyarimana. All conditions were gathered to make the genocide occur.

The very first episode

Massacres of the population of Shonga, Commune Muvumba, Prefecture Byumba. The RPF occupied Shonga from October 1990 until its victory in July, 1994. The RPF decimated the population living in Shonga.
Between 1991 and 1992, RPF massacred Hutu in the communes of Bwisige, Cyumba, Cyungo, Kibali, Kivuye, Kiyombe, Mukarage, Muvumba, and Ngarama of the prefecture of Byumba, Kanzenze, prefecture of Kigali and a member of the central committee of the Republican National Movement for Democracy and Development (MRND).
In the night of November 17 and 18, 1993 the RPA under Colonel Kayizari massacred 48 unarmed civilians in the sous-prefecture of Kirambo, prefecture of Ruhengeri.
In the same month of November 1993, the RPF Massacred of unarmed civilians in Commune Mutura, prefecture Gisenyi and Commune Bwisige, prefecture of Byumba. The United Nations Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) investigated the massacre of Mutura and Kirambo and never published its findings.

Massacres were also carried out in the communes Butaro, Cyeru, and Nyamugali of Ruhengeri. Some of the people from these communes were deported to Uganda and disappeared. RPF killings generated massive internally displaced persons who sought refuge at makeshift camps. The RPF shelled these camps although these internally displaced persons were not armed.
On February 8, 1993, the RPF attacked the town of Ruhengeri and massacred unarmed civilians. During the attack the RPF summarily executed a large number of civilians including Barengayabo, President of the Appeal’s Court and Philippe Gakwerere, Inspector of mining and their families.
During its military offensive of February 1993, the RPF massacred unarmed civilians in Ngarama, Commune Gituza, Prefecture of Byumba.

A UNHCR report prepared by a team of three people headed by Robert Gersony on these
numerous massacres that occurred as the RPF took control of Rwanda in 1994 was buried
under pressure from the United States and the UN. According to Human Rights Watch and
 the FIDH, “From August 1 through September 5, the team visited ninety-one sites in forty one of the 145 communes of Rwanda and gathered detailed information about ten others”.

the Defense of the Republic (CDR). Colonel Karenzi of the RPF coordinated these political
assassinations.
 

The very Third and last episode
The anger and fear, which fueled the conflict escalation. 
Paul Kagame, RPF commander
used every means at their disposal to make the Rwandan  genocide occur performing Stereotypes and Prejudices, Crimes against Humanity and War crimes
The last step in a continuum of actions
among others the Hutu community increasing anger,
Stereotypes and Prejudices
RPF pro-media and diplomacy
Mass death in the North-western region
Step-by-step actions well documented
ended up with the assassination
of President Habyarimana, the final
action that made the population
concluding in generalized conspiracy
aiming to exterminate the
entire Hutu community.
Up to now,
The world community did nothing to arrest and bring the perpetrators
to justice

On March 15, 1994 RPF soldiers under Colonel Kayonga carried out the assassination of Nathanael Nyilinkwaya, director of the tea factory of Cyohoha Rukeri, his wife, and two factory employees.

During its military offensive of February 1993, the RPF massacred unarmed civilians in Ngarama, Commune Gituza, Prefecture of Byumba.
B. FROM APRIL 6, 1994 TO PRESENT
According to a UN secret report and to Jean-Pierre Mugabe, a former RPF official, General Kagame ordered the shooting down of the plane carrying President Juvenal Habyarimana
and his Burundi counterpart, Cyprien Ntaryamira. The plane was shot down on April 6, 1994 at 8:30 PM as it was about to land at Kanombe International Airport. Presidents, their aides and the crew died on the impact.
– Ndagijimana, Celestin, Chief Administrator officer at IMPRISCO
– Claudien Habarushaka, former prefect of Kigali;
– Baliyanga, Sylvestre, then prefect of Ruhengeri, his wife and children;
– Jean-Marie Vianney Mvulirwenande’s wife and children;
– Mujyanama, Theoneste, former attorney general;
– Ndaziramiye, Herson, his wife and children.
– Gashegu, Dismas, former vice chancellor of the National University of Rwanda;
– Mbanzarugamba, Felicien, employee at Bralirwa, his wife and children;
– Kayibanda, Irenee, employee at Societe Nationale d’Assurances (SONARWA);
– Hategekimana, Jean, president of the Court of Kigali, his wife and children;
– Mupenda, Frederic, employee at the ministry of public works
– Donat Hakizimana, his wife and children.
– Nyungura, Emile, his wife and children;
This list is not exhaustive. So far, no RPF soldier has been prosecuted.
On April 21, 1994 the RPF killed Catholic priests who had sought refuge at Rwesero
Seminary. These priests are: Christian Nkiliyehe, Anastase Nkundabanyanga, Joseph Hitimana, Gaspard Mudashimwa, Alexis Havugimana, Celestin Muhayimana, Augustin Mushyenderi, and Fidele Mulinda. So far, no RPF soldier has been prosecuted.

RPF soldiers summarily executed priests, nuns, and pastors. – From April 7, 1994 through August 1994, the RPF summoned people to public meetings. After people had gathered to listen to RPF officials, RPF soldiers massacred them. The following terms are reminiscent of these episodes: kwitaba inama or to attend a public meeting; kwikiza umwanzi or to get rid of the enemy and gutegura or to clean up a place. When people were summoned to attend a public meeting, they were summarily executed. When people were summoned to clean up a place to supposedly resettle internally displaced people, they were summarily executed.

When people were summoned to attend a public meeting to learn how to smoke out
interahamwe, they were asked to tie each other arms behind the back using ropes. Then they were summarily executed. Human Rights Watch and the FIDH have reported these massacres in the publication mentioned earlier.

They go on to say that “A written note produced by the UNHCR estimated only that the RPF had killed thousands of persons a month, but Gersony himself reportedly estimated that during the months from April to August the RPF killed between 25,000 and 45,000 persons, between 5,000 and 10,000 persons each month from April through July and 5,000 for the month of August. In press accounts based on leaked information, the figure most often cited was 30,000.”


Massacres of the Tutsis by Interahamwe and RPF infiltrators (14,000 in Kigali) were a must-HAPPEN-event for Paul Kagame as THE BRIDGE or THE  LADDER for Him to seize power and, most importantly, to remain there without sharing it with his opponents or with the rival community.


African SurViVors International (AS International)
is an international nonpartisan charity organization devoted to defending human rights. It’s an organization working to promote democracy and national reconciliation, inside countries of the African Great lakes Region.

AS International centers its work on the twin concepts of freedom of self-determination and freedom from tyranny. These ideals include the belief that all human beings have the rights to speak freely, to associate with those of like mind, and to leave and enter their countries. Individuals in a free society must be accorded equal treatment and due process under law, and must have the opportunity to participate in the governments of their countries;

AS International’s ideals likewise find expression in the conviction that all human beings have the right to be free from arbitrary detainment or exile and from interference and coercion in matters of conscience. ASI does not support nor condone violence.
