Rwanda genocide, Kagame, the RPF and looting the Congo
By: Firestarter Date: March 18, 2020, 10:55 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Like so very often the story we were told about the evil Hutu
extremists that brutally murdered at least 800,000 innocent
Tutsis with machetes in some 100 days in 1994 in the Rwanda
genocide, is nothing but a propaganda story.
In reality it was the “Tutsi” Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), who
have since been made into “heroes” that stopped the genocide and
put in charge of Rwanda. The genocide had been planned since at
least 1990 by the allied US, Canada France and the genocide
supporting UN, using the RPF mercenaries.
With the aim to install another puppet regime (the RPF later
used Rwandan forced to kickstart the so-called African World
War)…
In 1990, the US/UN-backed Burundi, Tutsi mercenaries of the RPF
militia invaded Rwanda and started a terror campaign. They
continued to be armed throughout the conflict by the US. In the
same period, France continued to arm and train the Hutu army, to
prepare them for the slaughter.
While the RPF mercenaries could have fought against the Hutu
extremists slaughtering Tutsis, they instead butchered tens of
thousands of Hutus themselves.
Cynically behind the scenes, the US and France were working
together to allow no interference to stop their horrible plan.
After the RPF was installed into power, as the Hutu majority
couldn’t be allowed to exercise their democratic rights, it
continued the terror campaign against the Hutus.
On 11 April 1994, 5 days after the plane with Rwandan
president’s was shot down, these psychopaths – including Under
Secretary Frank Wisner and Henry Kissinger — apparently
discussed the ongoing genocide in Rwanda over dinner:
[quote]Of note: this crisis will likely raise questions at the
UN about the wisdom of including lightly armed troops…
Unless both sides can be convinced to return to the peace
process, a massive (hundreds of thousands of deaths) bloodbath
will ensue that would likely spill over to Burundi.[/QUOTE]

As for who was to blame for shooting down the plane that ignited
the massacre…
Both France (controlling the Hutu militia) and the US
(controlling the RPF mercenaries) were apparently aiming for
this disaster (so ultimately a puppet regime could be
installed).
There are more or less 2 stories, my guess is that the
US/UN-backed RPF was behind it (more on this later).
According to the British Guardian, the US-backed Tutsi rebels
could not have shot down Habyarimana’s plane, because witnesses
described that missiles were fired from inside or near a
military barracks, so it must have been the Hutu militia.
This looks based on a report by the Washington-based Centre for
Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), whose board of
trustees have included psychopaths like Henry Kissinger,
Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft.
“Scholars” for CSIS have included Madeleine Albright, Ehud Barak
and Michael Ledeen.
The US/UK-propaganda network claims that extremist Hutu
politicians and military officers murdered President Juvénal
Habyarimana after he tried to make a power-sharing deal with the
Tutsi rebels
According to the CSIS: [quote]For the Rwandan government, this
puts to bed any speculation that the [RPF] may have been
implicated in the shooting down of Habyarimana's plane.[/quote]
Of course the Rwandan government at the time was led by the
RPF’s Paul Kagame:
HTML https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/jan/12/rwanda-hutu-president-plane-inquiry
(
HTML http://archive.is/zn5Cv)
The Rwandan New Times agrees with the previous conclusion…
It adds amongst others that the Hutu Colonel Bagosora arranged
for Army Chief of Staff General Deogratias Nsabimana, who
opposed the genocidal plans, to be on the plane that would be
shot down.
According to the probe report by the Mutsinzi “commission” that
interviewed almost 600 witnesses: [quote]In violation of
established procedure, Nsabimana received his orders to
accompany the President via an unofficial channel—a telephone
call from of all people, Theoneste Bagosora—the night before the
trip.[/quote]
I don’t seen any evidence that Bagosora told Nsabimana to join
the president on the plane though:

The following details the testimony of the late Michael Hourigan
about his investigation into the RPF (mostly about the plane
crash) for the International Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) being
shut down (by Louise Arbour).
See some excerpts.
[quote]7.4. In late January or early February 1997 members of
the National Team were approached by three (3) informants
(either former or serving member of the R.P.F.) claiming direct
involvement in the 1994 fatal rocket attack upon the President’s
aircraft. Their evidence specifically implicated the direct
involvement of President Paul Kagame, members of his
administration and military. The informants also advised that
the Kagame administration was actively involved in covert
operations aimed at murdering high profile expatriate Rwandans –
once such murder was the death of Seth Sedashonga in Nairobi.
(…)
9 The information from the sources was very detailed and
seemed very credible. I was very concerned about the sensitivity
of the information and arranged for an urgent ‘secure’ telephone
call to Judge Arbour.
(…)
19 I presented her with a copy of a memo I had prepared entitled
‘Secret National Team Inquiry – Internal Memorandum’ and this
document which is undated is attached to this statement. This
document detailed the information provided by the three
informants.
20 To my surprise Judge Arbour was aggressive and questioned me
about the source of the information regarding the informants and
the quality and potential reliability of their information. I
advised her that the information was given to me by members from
my team – the National Team.
(…)
22 Judge Arbour then advised me that the National Team
investigation was at an end because in her view it was not in
our mandate. She suggested that the ICTR’s mandate only extended
to events within the genocide, which in her view began ‘after’
the plane crash.
23 I was astounded at this statement. I pointed to the temporal
mandate of the ICTR being 1 January 1994 until 31 December 1994
and this clearly covered the time of the plane crash. I also
addressed the ‘terrorism’ and ‘murder’ provisions of the ICTR
statute.
(…)
26 Judge then became hostile and asked me if I was challenging
her authority to direct to end our investigations into the plane
crash.
27 I told her that I was not questioning her authority only her
judgement. I informed her that I was her servant and I would
obey her direction.
(…)
33 On 1 August 1997 I prepared an internal memorandum detailing
various issues which I felt lay behind some of the difficulties
with the ICTR. A copy of this memorandum is attached here.
34 The OIOS leadership were not at all interested in the
memorandum and they expressed their concern at some of the
contents of the document implicating the Secretary General in
some of the serious events in Rwanda in 1994.
35 I completed six months with OIOS and resigned.
36 I feel that unknown persons from within the UN leadership and
possibly elsewhere pressured Judge Arbour to end the National
Team’s investigations into the shooting down of President
Habyarimana.[/quote]

Re: Rwanda genocide, Kagame, the RPF and looting the Congo
By: Firestarter Date: March 19, 2020, 9:02 am
---------------------------------------------------------
The “good guys” of the Pentagon (always on the side of the most
ruthless dictatorships) heavily backed the RPF with weapons and
training. Pentagon subcontractor Ronco, fronting as a de-mining
company, smuggled weapons to RPF fighters in violation of UN
sanctions and transported RPF troops from Uganda to Rwanda.
Canadian General Romeo Dallaire, commander of the United Nations
Assistance Mission in Rwanda (UNAMIR), who has been made to look
as a hero in subsequent reports, was also collaborating with the
RPF.
On 1 October 1990, US proxy force Uganda — with troops trained
and armed by the US — launched its war against Rwanda. From 1990
to 1993, the RPF comprised mostly of Ugandan mercenaries.
On 12 July 1998, the Washington Post reported that the US gave
the RPF’s general Paul Kagame (a Ugandan) $75 million in
military assistance and also sent Green Berets to train the RPF
and their Ugandan allies. This was put to lethal effect in the
ethnic bloodbath that has continued to the present day.
From 1990 to 1994, the RPF committed atrocity after atrocity as
they forced their way to power in Kigali. This resulted in more
than a million internally displaced Rwandan Hutus and possibly
on top of that a million Burundian refugees. At the time they
always accused the government of President Juvenal Habyarimana
of genocide.
Prior to January 1993, hundreds of thousands Rwandans were made
homeless and forced to flee, but instead of rightly blaming this
on the invading RPF guerrillas — covertly backed by the US,
Britain, Belgium and Israel — this was declared to be simply the
result of "war".
Tutsi military also assassinated Burundi’s first “democratically
elected” civilian President Melchior Ndadaye in October 1993.
On 9 April 1994, 3 days after the plane crash that killed
Burundi's President Cyprien Ntaryamira and Rwandan President
Habyarimana, some 330 US marines landed at Bujumbura's airport
in Burundi, ostensibly to "rescue Americans" in Rwanda but in
reality assisting the RPF.
On 12 February 2009, senior researcher with US/UK intelligence
conduit Human Rights Watch (HRW), Alison des Forges, was killed
in a plane crash. She was subsequently deified for her
propaganda on those horrible Hutus.
Like other “researchers” Des Forges has endlessly continued to
sell the propaganda to the gullible public.
When the RPF was installed in 1994, a terror regime was set up
to pursue kidnappings; torture; rape; terrorist attacks; illegal
detention of thousands of civilians; attacks, including murder,
against civilians based on ethnicity; getting rid of corpses by
mass incineration or throwing them into lakes or rivers; and
acts of war in Rwanda and Congo:

In my opinion a internet forum should be about "the truth"...
Of course I don't mind if you would "correct" mistakes that I
possibly made.
I DO have (much) information that shows that:
1) The RPF (controlled) by Paul Kagame played an important part
in orchestrating the Rwanda genocide.
2) The RPF were supported by the US and UN and installed as a
proxy government.
3) The RPF has locked up and assassinated whistleblowers of the
crimes against humanity by the RPF.
4) The RPF was also instrumental in kickstarting Africa’s World
War (1998-2003) in which an estimated 5 million people died in
Congo alone.

While the official story still reads that there is “no evidence
that the RPF” shot down Habyarimana’s jet, several former close
associates of dictator Paul Kagame, despite the threat of being
killed, have testified in detail that the RPF was responsible.
These associates include former Rwandan Army Chief of Staff
Kayumba Nyamwasa, who has survived several attempts on his life,
and former chief of staff to Kagame and former ambassador to the
US Theogene Rudasingwa.
Both French Judge Jean-Louis Bruguière and Spanish Judge
Fernando Andreu Merelles concluded that the RPF shot down the
plane with President Habyarimana.
Judges Bruguière and Merelles also separately brought charges
against the RPF, which the ICTR has never done:
HTML https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-international-criminal-tribunal-for-rwanda-ictr-is-a-british-american-creature-to-support-paul-kagames-dictatorship/5425437
In 1994, the UN Security Council established the International
Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) to “investigate” crimes
committed during the genocide. Its investigators amassed
evidence of atrocities committed by both sides. In 1997, the
ICTR’s chief prosecutor, Louise Arbour, shut down all
investigations of RPF crimes and continued to pursue only those
committed by Hutu extremists.
In 2016, Arbour explained that the Michael Hourigan
investigation of the RPF was stopped because of a lack of
capacity and that it was “very dangerous” to investigate the
RPF…
In 1999, Arbour set up a Special Investigation Unit (SIU) to
collect evidence about RPF crimes. Its report was leaked to Judi
Rever, who wrote about this in her book “[I]In Praise of Blood:
The Crimes of the Rwandan Patriotic Front[/I]” (2018).
During, and after the 1994 Rwandan genocide, Paul Kagame’s
Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) killed at least tens of thousands
of innocent Hutus, which really is a “parallel genocide”.
In January 1993, the RPF took an international team of human
rights investigators on a tour of RPF-held areas in northern
Rwanda after which they reported that the Rwandan government was
to blame for virtually all the violence.
Rever interviewed RPF defectors, who told her that the RPF
intimidated, abducted, or murdered witnesses of their crimes and
then incinerated or buried them in tightly guarded encampments,
off-limits to human rights investigators.
The RPF even killed witnesses in foreign countries, like
interior minister in the post-genocide “national unity”
government Seth Sendashonga, who was gunned down in Nairobi in
1998, or former RPF spy chief Patrick Karegeya, strangled in
Johannesburg in 2014.
According to an RPF defector, in 1997 Kagame’s hit men killed 4
UN observers, 3 Spanish and a Canadian priest, who were
collecting evidence of RPF crimes.
In 1997, the RPF barred Amnesty International investigators from
inspecting caves where fleeing Hutus had been massacred.
Based on interviews with local witnesses, it’s estimated that
they probably contained five to eight thousand bodies.
In 1996 the RPF, invaded Zairian refugee camps and brought back
the (mostly) Hutus to Rwanda. Many of the hundreds of thousands
that fled into Zaire instead were tracked down by the RPF and
killed.
In May 1997, the RPF, Ugandan army, along with the AFDL, took
over Mobutu’s Zaire and renamed it the Democratic Republic of
Congo.
After a brief hiatus, the Congo war resumed in 1998 and has
claimed at least a million lives.
In July 1994, 200 US Special Forces began training the RPF in
marksmanship, navigation, small unit management, and other
techniques that would soon be used to kill fleeing Hutu refugees
in Zaire. The US also gave the RPF intelligence on the strength
and positions of Zaire’s army.
In 1995, when Rwanda was under an arms embargo, the Clinton
administration began transferring military equipment to Uganda,
Eritrea, and Ethiopia. Some of the tanks, grenades, and other
light weapons were used to slaughter Hutus and take over Zaire:

It looks like Kagame and the RPF, with Washington’s support,
bear the greatest responsibility for the massive death toll from
April to July 1994. It is certain that hundreds of thousands of
Hutus also died during this period, mostly at the hands of the
Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA) commanded by Kagame.
Some analysts, like Christian Davenport and Allan C. Stam, have
claimed that even more Hutus than Tutsis died in this period.
The dictatorial RPF regime in Rwanda actually contained several
Hutu ministers.
The RPF recruited Hutu leaders including: Col. Alexis
Kanyarengwe, who was installed as chairman of the movement; and
Seth Sendashonga, who had left Rwanda because of dissatisfaction
with Habyarimana’s politics, and served as liaison between the
RPF and political opposition parties in Rwanda.
Between 1990 and 1993, RPF soldiers killed and abducted
civilians and pillaged property in north-eastern Rwanda. They
also attacked a hospital and displaced persons’ camps.
The RPF massacred groups of unarmed civilians in eastern,
central, and southern Rwanda after government forces had left
the area, in clear violations of international humanitarian law.
On 20 April 1995, after Paul Kagame had ordered the massacre, 2
RPA battalions surrounded the camp in Kibeho, and stopped all
food and water. On 22 April 1995, the RPA opened fire. The next
morning, the Australian Medical Corps counted 4,200 bodies
before they were stopped.
The Rwandan government claimed that the RPA battalions were
merely defending themselves, and that only 338 were killed.
An estimated 2 million Rwandans (many of them Hutus) fled after
the RPF took dictatorial control of Rwanda. Most of them went to
Zaire, where they were chased by the RPA.
The population of the Mugunga camp rose to 800,000, making it
the world’s largest refugee camp at the time. After the
international media had been expelled, on 13 November 1996, the
major assault by the RPA (with the help of the Zairian AFDL)
started. There are no reliable figures on the number of
casualties. Many refugees were driven back to Rwanda, while
hundreds of thousands fled into the surrounding forests; pursued
by the RPA/AFDL who shot or bludgeoned them to death if they
caught them.
On 2 March 1997, 150,000 refugees at the Tingi-Tingi camp they
were fired on with mortars and machine guns. Survivors fled west
in Zaire or to the Central African Republic, Gabon, and
Congo-Brazzaville. They were again chased, and if found brutally
murdered.
On 8 August 1997, the RPA moved into the Mahoko market and
opened fire. Thousands fled to the caves in the mountainous
commune of Kanama. The army massacred them by throwing grenades
into the caves. Amnesty International wrote that a couple of
hundred had died at the Mahoko market, and 5,000 to 8,000 were
massacred in the Kanama caves.
In mid-1997, Kagame’s Rwandan government proclaimed its refugee
problem settled.
French historian Gérard Prunier with president of the United
Nations High Commission for Refugees, Sakado Ogato, estimated
the Rwandan refugee death toll at 213,000 to 280,000.
Since July 1994, everyone lived in fear of being accused of
being a génocidaire. Rwanda’s prison population soared, from
1,000 in July 1994, to over 100,000 by 1997, many of them
innocent.
In October 1994, senior judge in Kigali, Gratien Ruhorahoza,
tried to free 40 prisoners without files. Ruhorahoza was
murdered.
When 26 magistrates tried to free innocent prisoners, they were
arrested and charged as génocidaires.
Carina Tertsakian, formerly for Human Rights Watch in Rwanda,
wrote that between September 1994 and May 1995, 13% of Rwanda’s
prison population died, which is “unparalleled in any part of
the world”.
Kagame’s death squads have pursued his opponents across the
world. His best-known victims include: Théoniste Lizinde (1996)
and Sendashonga (1998) in Kenya; Théogène Turatsinze (2012) in
Mozambique; and Patrick Karageya (2013) in South Africa.
A South African magistrate stated that 4 suspects in Karageya’s
murder are “directly linked to the Rwandan government”. He also
accused the Rwandan government of attempts on the life of the
exiled former Rwandan army chief of staff, General Kayumba
Nyamwasa.
Victoria Ingabire Umuhoza is the latest major challenger to
Kagame. In 2010, she returned from exile in the Netherlands and
formed the Permanent Consultative Council of Opposition Parties.
Umuhoza criticised that the Gisozi Genocide Memorial Centre
didn't acknowledge the Hutus that also died during the genocide
and stressed that those who committed genocide or other war
crimes and crimes against humanity should be brought before the
courts of justice. This challenge to the official genocide
narrative resulted in an eight-year prison sentence for
“conspiracy against the country through terrorism and war” and
“genocide denial”. In December 2013, the Rwandan Supreme Court
increased her sentence to 15 years.
Umuhoza was released in September 2018, after President Kagame
exercised his prerogative of “mercy”. Since then she has been
interrogated 2 to 3 days per week by the cops, and the Rwandan
state media have since referred to here as “[I]a convicted
criminal who was never rehabilitated[/I]”:

Judi Rever wrote about the crimes of the RPF since 1997, in
“[I]In praise of blood: The crimes of the Rwandan Patriotic
Front[/I]” (2018):
[quote]In areas seized by the RPF or already under its control,
its soldiers and intelligence agents worked with similar ethnic
zeal, but they were more discreet: they cordoned off areas and
killed Hutus secretly, with great precision. They operated
mobile death squads, massacring Hutus in their villages.
They brought large groups of Hutus to areas where NGOs and the
UN agencies were not permitted to go. Under the cover of night,
they transported displaced Hutus by truck, killed them, and
burned their bodies with gasoline and gas oil.
These atrocities took place mainly near Gabiro, a military
training barracks in Rwanda’s Akagera National Park. Portions of
the park became outdoor crematoriums, and human ashes were
spread in its lakes. It was mass murder leaving barely a
trace.[/quote]

Re: Rwanda genocide, Kagame, the RPF and looting the Congo
By: Firestarter Date: March 22, 2020, 9:48 am
---------------------------------------------------------
In our Brave New World, it are always the victors that sentence
the losers for “war crimes”.
This makes our whole justice system a charade, but not always is
this as obvious as in the International Criminal Tribunal for
Rwanda (ICTR) show trials.
If the genocide, which started practically immediately when
Habyarimana was killed, was planned in advance, this could only
have been done by the same group that planned to bring down
Habyarimana’s plane.
According to the ICTR, bringing down President Juvénal
Habyarimana’s plane on 6 April 1994 was really the start of the
genocide. Then instead of finding that, as Paul Kagame’s Rwandan
Patriotic Front (RPF) was behind this attack, (the backers of),
the RPF had orchestrated the Rwandan genocide, they simply
ignored the evidence and blamed the extremist Hutus…
A confidential ICTR document, labelled Top Secret, is a summary
of crimes committed by the RPF. This included testimony on the
plane attack, which indicates that RPF leaders, including
Kagame, held meetings to prepare the attack on Habyarimana’s
plane, that the team in charge of the missiles was created and
trained in Uganda, and the missiles were brought to the RPF
headquarters in northern Rwanda before being transported to a
farm in Masaka (an area in the capital controlled by the RPF).
In 2014, one of Kagame’s former bodyguards, Emile Gafirita, had
agreed to testify that the RPF shot down the plane. In 2009,
Gafirita broke with the RPF regime, fled to Uganda and in 2014
was hiding in Kenya.
On 13 November 2014, shortly after ICTR Judge Trévidic had
identified Gafirita as a future witness, he was kidnapped in
Nairobi by a group of armed men and never seen again. Silenced
forever.
Théoneste Lizinde, who has probably helped Kagame plan the plane
attack, was also killed in Kenya in 1996 after he fell out with
the RPF.
Eric Léandre Ndayire, an RPF cadre who testified in 2005, was
killed in 2007 after being kidnapped in Uganda.
Judi Rever told a lawyer that had worked for the ICTR prosecutor
that she had read confidential ICTR documents on the crimes by
the RPF.
This lawyer admitted to know about: the systematic killings of
Hutus by RPF death squads, the mass graves, the burning of
bodies in Akagera Park, and the methods of concealment.
RPF commandos had infiltrated Hutu militias and were involved in
killing Tutsis:
HTML http://archive.is/QiM03
Obviously one of the star witnesses for the ICTR show trials was
the Canadian, UN-supporter of the RPF, Roméo Dallaire, who was
present at the discussions of the Hutu crisis committee that was
formed after Habyarimana's death, and even asked for advice and
help to involve the RPF in stopping the massacre.
The evidence against the people sentenced for the genocide,
consisted mostly (or only) of witness testimonies (of course
deals were made with these witnesses for lower punishment for
their own involvement).
At the time, Prime Minister Agathe Uwilingiyimana would
(legally) become president of Rwanda. UNAMIR, controlled by
Dallaire, sent an escort of 10 Belgian soldiers to “protect”
Uwilingiyimana.
Later in the morning, soldiers and a crowd of civilians captured
and killed Uwilingiyimana, her husband and the Belgian soldiers
(dead men tell no tales).
Major Bernard Ntuyahaga, commanding officer of the Presidential
Guard unit, was sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment by a court
in Belgium in 2007 for these murders.
The night of 6–7 April, other prominent politicians and
journalists were killed around Kigali, including President of
the Constitutional Court Joseph Kavaruganda, Minister of
Agriculture Frederic Nzamurambaho, Parti Liberal leader Landoald
Ndasingwa and chief Arusha negotiator Boniface Ngulinzira.
The crisis committee formed on the evening of 6 April, consisted
of Colonel Théoneste Bagosora (head of the committee), Major
General Augustin Ndindiliyimana, Tharcisse Renzaho and a number
of other senior army staff officers couldn’t that control of
Rwanda and was blamed (and sentenced) for coordinating the
genocide.
December 2008, the ICTR convicted 3 senior officers of the
Rwandan army in 1994: Colonel Théoneste Bagosora; Major Aloys
Ntabakuze; and Colonel Anatole Nsengiyumva to life imprisonment
for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes for their
role in the Rwanda genocide. All 3 were acquitted of conspiring
to commit genocide before 7 April 1994.
The ICTR also acquitted General Gratien Kabiligi and ordered his
release.
In December 2008, the ICTR convicted Theoneste Bagosora for
genocide and crimes against humanity, but only for the 3 days of
7 to 9 April 1994, to life in prison. Bagosora was trained in
Belgium and France.
Bagosora has subsequently been labelled the mastermind of the
genocide, but how could he have “planned” anything (if he wasn’t
responsible for shooting down Habyarimana’s plane)?!?
In 2011, his sentence in appeal was reduced to 35 years'
imprisonment.
Jean Kambanda was convicted on his “confession”, was sworn in as
PM of the interim government on 9 April 1994. Once again it
isn’t clear what he could have “planned”?!?
The prosecutor’s office of the ICTR has admitted that it had
concealed from the judges the true nature of Kambanda’s
confession (because they didn’t want him exposing the RPF?).
In 14 February 1997, Froduald Karamira was one of the first to
be sentenced to death by the Rwandan courts. He was executed on
24 April 1998 (silenced forever).
The Rwandan Gacaca court that sentenced genocide suspects until
being closed down in June 2012, handled 1,958,714 cases
involving 1,003,227 individuals, the vast majority were found
guilty.
According to case statistics, 1,320,634 (67.5%) of them were
sentenced for looting and destruction of property.
577,528 cases (29%) were tried for murder and physical violence.
The acquittal rate, 37%, was much higher than for property theft
(4%).
60,552 cases (3.5%) were tried as organisers, authorities and
perpetrators of sexual violence, with a 12% acquittal rate:

In 2002, trials of the ICTR grounded to a halt because witnesses
refused to travel from Rwanda to give evidence at the hearings
in Arusha, Tanzania.
The tribunal's chief prosecutor at the time, Carla del Ponte,
told the UN Security Council that the witnesses weren’t willing
to testify, because the Rwandan government blocked cooperation
with the court, after her announcement to investigate the RPF's
leaders for war crimes.
Rwanda's chief prosecutor, Gerald Gahima, explained that the
government opposed the prosecution of members of the RPF,
because it would undermine an institution that holds Rwanda
together and defends it from Hutu extremists:

Re: Rwanda genocide, Kagame, the RPF and looting the Congo
By: Firestarter Date: March 23, 2020, 9:14 am
---------------------------------------------------------
In the following article the United Nations, and Canadian UNAMIR
commander Romeo Dallaire in particular, are blamed for
orchestrating the Rwandan genocide, and involvement in the
assassinations of President Juvenal Habyarimana and Prime
Minister Agathe Uwilingiyimana.
The missiles used to shoot down the plane were from stockpiles
the Americans had seized in their first war against Iraq. In a
warehouse at Kigali airport, rented by a CIA Swiss front
company, the missiles were assembled.
The French judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere told Boutros-Boutros
Ghali, Secretary-General of the UN in 1994, that the CIA was
involved in the shoot down.
The UN peacekeeping force in Rwanda, UNAMIR, assisted the
Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) in the shoot down on the plane
that carried the Rwandan President and Army Chief of Staff.
Force Commander of UNAMIR, General Romeo Dallaire, arranged for
one axis of the runway at the airport to be closed, which made
it easy for the RPF to shoot down the plane.
Dallaire consistently sided with the RPF during his mandate,
which included providing military intelligence. Dallaire took
his orders from the US and Belgian ambassadors.
See comrades in genocide Romeo Dalliare and Paul Kagame.

Another Canadian general, Maurice Baril, from UN headquarters in
New York, “forgot” to tell his boss, Jacques Roger Booh-Booh,
about the build-up for a final Ugandan Army-RPF offensive, which
consisted of at least 10 battalions and possibly 13,000 RPF
combatants infiltrating into Kigali, when the Arusha Accords
only permitted them 600.
A third Canadian, General Guy Tousignant, took over as UNAMIR
commander from Dallaire after the RPF had been installed into
power.
UNAMIR II continued to help the RPF in its genocidal campaign.
UN Secretary-General Boutros-Ghali has stated that the US is
100% responsible for the Rwanda genocide.
To help the RPF, 600 US Army Rangers were stationed in Burundi,
who in May 1994 invaded Rwanda from the south to link up with
RPF forces.
Tanzania was also involved in shooting down the plane with
Habyarimana and invaded Rwanda from the east and south blocking
escape routes for Hutus fleeing the atrocities of the RPF in
their assault towards Kigali.
I have a hard time following the story on the murder of Prime
Minister Agathe Uwilingiyimana, who was a Tutsi herself and is
portrayed as an agent for the RPF. If so why would the
RPF-supporting Dallaire conspire to have her murdered (as
insinuated in this story)?
Uwilingiyimana was not much more than a puppet of Faustin
Twagiramungu, the prime minister designate under the Arusha
accords, who was a close ally of the RPF. Uwilingiyimana was
manipulated by the RPF, Twagiramungu and General Dallaire.
Uwilingiyimana was scheduled to talk at Radio Rwanda at 4:30 am,
to tell the nation that President Habyarimana had been killed in
an “accident”.
Its radio station manager, Jean-Marie Vianney Higiro,
contradicts Dallaire’s account in his book. Higiro states that
between 6:00 am and 6:30 am, Dallaire phoned to ask why
Uwilingiyimana had not made the address. Dallaire writes in his
book that he phoned Uwilingiyimana to tell her the broadcast was
off. If Dallaire already knew at 4:30 am the broadcast wouldn’t
go through, it makes no sense that he would call after 6:00 am
to ask why.
At 5:00 am, the Belgian UN soldiers had already arrived at
Uwilingiyimana’s residence.
Colonel Bavagumenshi, the officer in charge of the Gendarme VIP
security detail, states that at 21:00 hours he was ordered to
reinforce VIP protection, and for Uwilingiyimana in particular.
When Bavagumenshi showed up at 8:30 am to protect
Uwilingiyimana, the Belgian Colonel Luc Marchal told him the
mission was cancelled because Uwilingiyimana had fled her house.
Marchal “forgot” to tell him that she had fled to the UNDP
compound, where Bavagumenshi and his men were needed to protect
her:
