Ann Garrison: Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, the opposition
presidential candidate and leader, is now in maximum security prison for
expressing what’s called the double genocide theory, for going to the Kigali
memorial and asking where the memorial to the Hutus was has said that Kagame
risks another explosion of violence by practicing the same politics of
exclusion that the Hutu president, Habyarimana did. Do you feel the same
danger?
Charles Kambanda: I believe that
is a great analysis. There is total lack of power sharing in Rwanda. And that
is the reason why the 1994 genocide surfaced. I believe we are likely to have
the same thing in the future…”
Dec
2013 - Rwanda's supreme court extends the jail term of opposition
politician Victoire Ingabire to 15 years from eight after she sought
to overturn her initial conviction for trying to undermine the state and
minimising the 1994 genocide. http://www.trust.org/item/20140402113037-u315s/?source=spotlight
Real Hutu extremists
What is a Hutu extremist?
According to the official mythology, a ‘Hutu extremist’ is a Hutu who ruthlessly and coldly set out to
wipe every Tutsi off the face of the earth. In reality, a Hutu ‘extremist’ was
any Hutu who saw total war coming at the hands of their erstwhile elite Tutsi
oppressors. A Hutu ‘extremist’
was someone who understood only too well that the elite ‘Tutsis’ invading from Uganda, the elite ‘Tutsis’ massacring thousands of people, the elite ‘Tutsis’ (read RPF) infiltrating of
social, economic, military and political institutions in Rwanda, the elite ‘Tutsi’ Inyenzi bombings of public
places and their assassinations of countless political figures and pesky
Rwandan journalists, or the elite ‘Tutsis’
slaughtering of thousands of innocent Hutu men, women and children and wiping
entire Hutu villages off the map, that these were very real certainties that
Hutu’s had a right and necessity to defend themselves against.
What is a Hutu ‘moderate’? Any Hutu who believed
that the RPF offered a democratic alternative to one-party dictatorship, that
Paul Kagame was sincere in his proclamations of political pluralism, freedom
and brotherhood. These were empty promises….
This is the falsified history of ‘Tutsis’ as ‘victims’ inculcated by the arrogant elite ‘Tutsi’ rulers. These facts are key to the official (bullshit) narrative: Tutsis as victims, Hutus as oppressors.
Like any monarchy, the ‘Tutsi’ elites believe(d) they are God’s Chosen People, the Jews of Africa, the natural-born rulers over millions of Hutu (and Tutsi) peasants.
Adopted by the Non-Aligned Movement – funded, armed, trained outside Rwanda – the elite ‘Tutsi’ guerrillas attacked Rwanda throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, sowing the most egregious terrorism, usually under cover of night. Every time the ‘Tutsi’ guerrillas attacked Rwanda – whether from outside during the 1960s or from inside during the 1990s – the in-country French-speaking ‘Tutsis’ suffered reprisals. The ‘Tutsis as victims’ narrative continued to expand, and while the Hutus were blamed for atrocities, usually retaliatory, the ‘Tutsi’ were coddled and protected………
The
genocide of the majority Hutu people, launched October 1, 1990, proceeded
unabated during the RPF march to power in Rwanda, and it was even more clearly
executed during the RPF hunting and slaughtering of hundreds of thousands of
innocent men, women and children – mostly Hutus – in the Congo. These were
organized campaigns of genocide, with intent to rape, murder and disappear Hutu
people because they were Hutu people, and the perpetrators were the elite
‘Tutsis’ from Uganda.
Rwanda is threatening to withdraw its troops from United Nations peacekeeping operations and curtail co-operation if the organisation goes ahead with publication of a report accusing the Rwanda Army of genocide.
A leaked copy of the report, which is due for release next month, details the systematic killings of tens of thousands of ethnic Hutus inside the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in the wake of the 1994 genocide. http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/article2706342.ece
Mr Kagame, (Tutsi of course!) is one of Britain's closest allies in Africa, and has been accused of brutal repression of political dissent.
International donors this year partially froze aid to his government over accusations that it is backing another rebel group in neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo.
Andrew Mitchell, the former Chief Whip, who is close to Mr Kagame, reinstated some of Britain's suspended aid in his last day in his job as International Development Secretary.
