“Everybody has the right to request asylum and to be informed of their rights“. The UNHCR must stop every attempt to unload its responsibilities and international obligations on Hutu refugees.
Particularly serious is the UNHCR decision to hire those who work shoulder to shoulder with the Rwandan Tutsi-led goverment. Those UN corrupt employees are believed to fulfill the Tutsi-led government wishes namely making hard the hutu refugees life-conditions and facilitate their forcible repatriation to Rwanda, the country they fear for their lives.
The expulsion of these persons, without having adequately informed them of their right to request asylum,and without access to procedures for an eventual recognition of refugee status, is a breach of national and international law.
In particular it is a grave violation of the Geneva Convention, which in Article 33 sanctions the principle of “non-refoulement” (the principle of not refusing entry to those requesting asylum even if they happen to be born Hutu ethnic members).
SurViVors Human Rights Advocates urge the office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to provide a written guarantee or proofs that it respects the Geneva Conventions on Hutu Refugees. Particularly serious is the decision to send back Hutu refugees to the Rwandan bloody dictatorship led by the Tutsi extremists.
In many African countries, the UNHCR break out the Geneva Conventions and take decisions regarding the forcible repatriation policy of Hutu refugees counciously knowing that the Rwandan Tutsi-led government has no respect for Human rights, that since 1994, this Tutsi-government has launched a massive witch-hunt for Hutus inside and outside of it ,those who refuse to adhere to the RPF mono ethnic party and ideology.
The UNHCR staff members’ attitude vis-à-vis the corruption and conspiracy inspired by the Tutsi-led government to harm and forcibly repatriate those Hutu refugees is no longer surprising.
On the other hand, It then goes on to show how the new humanitarianism is causing the erosion of the fundamental principles particularly when it concerns the Hutu refugees protection with negative consequences transforming the character and image of UNHCR.
The contrasting circumstances surrounding Hutu refugees’ crisis provide an opportunity to the world and Humanitarian organizations to show they are committed to peace and urge their country of origin to start negotiations with their representatives, the opponent political parties and the civil society in exile.
SurVivors Human Rights advocates urge the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and African countries authorities to reconsider any plan to forcibly repatriate Hutu refugees living in the those countries or living in holding centers who have not been given refugee status by the UNHCR.
According to reliable sources, Rwandan refugees who are forcibly repatriated face lengthy prison sentences, assassinations and other human rights abuses. The situation across the country is still dangerous for Hutu ethnic members particularly for those forcibly repatriated…
RPF military troops, local defense forces, DMI and other RPF clandestine organizations have started their dry season offensive on arbitrary arrests, imprisonment of those who are believed to recent repatriated.
According to many sources, the forcible repatriation is often covered by some pro-RPF media out of some European countries accusing the repatriated of having committed genocide in 1994. Thousands of Rwandans the mainly Hutus inside Rwanda are expected to flee the country because of incessant insecurity conditions, menaces that they are confronted on daily basis.
The Tutsi led government is demanding that those Hutu refugees be brought back to Rwanda. Instead of going back, they will go to other countries particularly to those who respect Human rights and thus where conditions are better.
THE NAMES OF RWANDAN REFUGEES DEPORTED BY UNHCR FROM GABON AND TORTURED BY RPF TO DEATH
Majority of these refugees who were deported by force by the UNHCR agency could not see the next millenium because of the brutal torture they had to undergo in the hands of RPF. The UNHCR sent its staff to Franceville headed by a lady known by only one name of Louise of a camerron origin.
Since she was presumably given some cash to sell the Rwandan Hutu Refugees, she went and sensibilized them saying I quote “Je ne peux pas vous repatrier au Rwanda car le Rwanda sous la leadership de Mr.Kagame est devenu un pay de l’holocauste” end of the quote.
Meaning that she could not want to repatriate us back to Rwanda because Rwanda under Kagame’s leadership has become a country of holocaust. All hutu refugees in Franceville were very happy hoping the best from her hypocrasy.
But she was playing the tactic to catch all Hutu Refugees in Gabon without any hint that she wanted to take them back for butchery in Kagame’s Abattoirs.The whole of July of 1997. The UNHCR hired a malian airplane which was taking Hutu Refugees from Franceville town of Gabon to Kigali International Airport.
On their arrival, therse refugees could be taken to triage chambers where all young people could be taken to torture chambers at Gikondo Industrial area. This people underwent inhumane treatment. According to my fomer schoolmate who were among this Hutu refugees repatriated by force by UNHCR, he told me that they were degraded to the level that they were fed on the human waste because of hunger.
He told as the tears were freely flowing on his both chicks, “Man,it is like apocalypse inside the Godowns of Gikondo.The RPF soldiers could come and start squeezing our male genital parts, to the ladies they could rape them and put red pepper in their private parts.
It was a harrowing moment, only God,my mother and I could believe what I am telling you, otherwise”….then he stopped as he was interrupted by tears which were flowing like water slops from Mt Karisimbi.
I continued carrying out some amateur research since I wanted to unveil what happened to these people who were given out as sacrifices by the people who were supposed to protect them,mainly UNHCR,the International Communiy,and the Gabon Governemnt, which used to claim to be friends of the late President Habyalimana.
I came across a mother of one of the people who lost their lives in the Gikondo torture chambers. She was from Gisenyi Prefecture which is in the Northwest of Rwanda. This list contained around 50 names of different young men and women who died from torture of all nature. Some of these name are as follow:
1. Iyaremwe Daniel (Gaseke-Gisenyi) died the 14.01.1998
2. Uwimana Evariste (Kivumu-Kibuye) died the 03.02.1998
3. Nzarora Theogene (Kibali-Byumba) died the 09.02.1998
4. Sadiki Ntawumenya (Rubavu-Gisenyi) died the 14.02.1998
5. Niyindora Laurent (Musebeya-Gikongoro) died the 18.02.1998
6. Sindikubwabo Innocent (Maraba-Butare) died the 18.02.1998
7. Bigilimana Bernard (Shyanda-Butare) died the 06.03.1998
8. Singirankabo Oswald (Bulinga-Gitarama) died the 06.03.1998
9. Rwaheru Felicien (Kiyombe-Byumba) died the 08.03.1998
and many others.
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, and the brutal suppression of the rights of the majority of the Rwandan people (85% are Hutus), by the RPF criminal organization.
