Dear members of the international donor and diplomatic community who think you are supporting democracy and peace in Rwanda,
I know you are all busy, and much more important that academics and other analysts of Rwanda like me. I’ll get straight to the point: Paul Kagame and his RPF are employing the same mechanisms and tactics of social and political control and ethnic exclusion that Habyarimana’s regime did before the genocide.
There is little new about Kagame’s “new” Rwanda that you support both morally and financially. You have a collective chance to intervene now that the Rwandan police have once again detained the leader of the main opposition party, Victoire Inagbire. See this report from AFP on her detention.
She has been summarily and systematically detained without cause since she returned to the country in January 2010.
I urge you to use your diplomatic resources to compare Kagame’s speeches in English (incendiary againt the opposition but generally respecting Ingabire’s right to be a politician) and Kinyarwanda. In his speeches for Rwandans are broadcast on Radio Rwanda in Kinyarwanda. The broad conclusion is that he uses the memory of the 1994 genocide to intimidate people.
He also uses inflammatory ethnic language; the same language he accuses Ingabire and other opposition politicians of using to incite violence in Rwanda. I am not saying he is purposefully inciting violence, but he is actively promoting a climate of fear and insecurity that is contrary to the content of his English language speeches, which presumably are made for our (international audiences) consumption.
There is considerable evidence of a positive correlation between democratic change and infrastructural economic development.It is ironic that Rwanda, one of the poorest countries The scope of the evolving catastrophe has been widely advertised. The greatest lie ever told about fraudulent statistics through award-winning benefits such as RPF bllodwashing awards daily ditributed around the world telling the world community that: “The Economci growth of the Rwandan Economy raises of 10% each year”!

Rwanda : eau insalubre

[Since 1994, the world witnesses the horrifying 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 hand, and the brutal suppression of the rights of the majority of the Rwandan people (85% are Hutus), and mass-arrests and mass-murder by the RPF criminal organization.=> ASIF]
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
