Re: Rwanda genocide, Kagame, the RPF and looting the Congo
By: Firestarter Date: April 15, 2020, 11:05 am
---------------------------------------------------------
It looks like the money laundering giant bank HSBC has helped
some of the crooks plundering the Congo of its natural
resources…
Diamonds are a great way to launder money and evade taxes.
Dan Gertler reportedly got his big start trading arms for
diamonds in African civil wars during the 1990s in violation of
UN embargoes.
Gertler, who is represented by the notorious London law firm
Mischon de Reya, is listed in the HSBC files under an account
under the name of the Concordia Marketing Group Inc. The other
beneficial owner of the Concordia account was Daniel Steinmetz
of the Steinmetz family. The Steinmetzes are maybe the biggest
HSBC diamond clients with nearly half a billion dollars at HSBC
in 2006/2007.
The “Swiss resident” Beny Steinmetz and Gertler are of course
business partners.
Omega Diamonds is involved in plundering Angola and the
Democratic Republic of the Congo. After David Renous blew the
whistle on Omega Diamonds helping Russian-Israeli Arkadi
Gaydamak to launder arms money, in 2006 its executives Sylvain
Goldberg, Robert Liling, and Ehud Arye Laniado had to flee
Belgium.
Belgium claims Omega owes it €4.6 billion. In 2013, this was
settled for (only) $195 million (the largest ever settlement
involving a “Belgian company”).
Goldberg is also in the HSBC files.
Goldberg and Laniado were also partners in the Angolan diamond
monopoly Ascorp, which is controlled by Russian-Israeli
billionaire Chabad-Lubavitcher Lev Leviev, the associate of
Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump and Ron Lauder. Leviev also had
several numbered accounts at HSBC.
Among Ascorp’s shareholders was the Angolan dictator’s daughter
Isabel dos Santos, the richest African woman with nearly $4
billion. Her mother, Tatiana Cergueevna Koukanova Regan, had 2
numbered HSBC accounts with $4.5 million:

Swiss multinational Glencore refused to disclose how much it
paid to Dan Gertler. In 2018, despite US sanctions from December
2017, Glencore continued to pay Gertler more than $200,000 per
day for its cobalt projects in the Democratic Republic of the
Congo.
In December 2018, a Glencore subsidiary settled not disclosed
contracts with and payments to Gertler-affiliated entities with
Canadian regulators.
In 2018, Glencore supplied about one third of the world’s
cobalt, a mineral that is key for rechargeable batteries in cars
and electronics.
[quote]For every $100 spent on cobalt from Glencore, more than
$2 is owed to a company under US sanctions. Companies that want
to make sure they’re not linked to illicit deals need to look at
the Glencore-Gertler connection first.[/quote]

At the end of 1990’s, Dan Gertler paid $20 million to Loran
Kabyle, of the Kabyle clan that ruled Congo, for the monopoly to
export Congo diamonds.
In 2001, Gertler engaged high Israel officers Avigor Ben Gal and
Meir Dagan to deliver $700,000 in arms from Israel to Congo.
Israel Military Industries provided arms, which indicates that
this was approved by top Israeli leadership.
By 2009, DGI group was one of the largest rough and polished
diamonds sellers in the world:

In July 2000, the Democratic Republic of the Congo's Government
passed a decree banning the Lebanese from exporting diamonds. On
the very same day, Congo’s Government signed an exclusive
contract with the newly created Israeli company International
Diamond Industry (IDI Diamond), for a joint venture with an
export monopoly on Congolese diamonds. The profits would be
shared 70:30 between the Congolese Government and IDI.
IDI Diamond is linked to the Tel Aviv based Schnitzer Diamond.
Special investments advisor to President Laurent Kabila, Nkere
Ntanda Nkingi, explained that the deal also included a
"[I]special anti-smuggling unit … formed by the Israeli
army[/I]".
According to IDI, it would only recommend names of security
experts who could help Congo cut down on smuggling:

In 2005, the notoriously secretive Amsterdam-based Cunico
Resources acquired FENI industries. Cunico Resources was started
as a joint venture between Beny Steinmetz Group Resources (BSGR)
and International Mineral Resources (IMR). IMR is the
Zurich-based subsidiary of the Eurasian Natural Resources
Corporation (ENRC), controlled by the Kazakh trio (Alexander
Mashkevich, Patokh Chodiev and Alijan Ibragimov).
FENI industries owns both the ferronickel plants in Kavadarci
(Macedonia) and NewCo Ferronikeli (in Kosovo, since 2006).
Air pollution from the NewCo Ferronikeli mine and smelting plant
was 9 times the legal limit, and “[I]posed a serious risk to the
health of the population[/I]”.
In the NewCo Ferronikeli there were explosions, fires, and
dangerous levels of pollution. In June 2011, a furnace exploded
in the plant, injuring 5 workers and damaging dozens of homes.
Demonstrators blocked the entrance to Ferronikeli’s facilities
for several days.
The amount of nickel found in moss from Kavadarci was about 15
times higher than in the rest of Macedonia.
From 2011 to 2012, the cancer rates in and around Kavadarci rose
from 981 to 1,332.
In 2013, 17 children younger than 6 were diagnosed with cancer.
In 2013, thousands of Romanians protested against the pollution
by the Rosia Montana plant, owned by Gabriel Resources.
The 3 largest shareholders in Gabriel Resources are BSG Capital
Markets (of Beny Steinmetz), Electrum Global Holdings and hedge
fund Paulson & Co; each own 16%.
In July 2013, the Dutch Court froze ENRC’s assets, including its
share of Cunico Resources, over fraud allegations.
Also in 2013, ENRC was “[I]investigated by the Serious Fraud
Office over claims of fraud, bribery and corruption in
Africa[/I]”:

Re: Rwanda genocide, Kagame, the RPF and looting the Congo
By: Firestarter Date: April 16, 2020, 10:29 am
---------------------------------------------------------
This is my last post in this thread with "old" information (that
I had already collected)...
The M23 rebel group was supported by Rwanda and Uganda since
1997, when they conspired to remove Mobutu Sese Seko from power
of Zaire and install Laurent Désiré Kabila as dictator of the
Democratic Republic of Congo.
M23 was the most active mercenary group in Congo until it was
forced to leave and retreat to Rwanda and Uganda in November
2013.
In June 2012, the UN released a shocking report detailing
Rwanda’s and Uganda’s support to the brutal M23 terrorist group
operating in Congo, including arms and training.
It details that Rwanda’s defence minister commanded M23.
Former Congolese general Bosco Ntaganda controls the ground
operations, while M23 leader Sultani Makenga was in charge of
operations and coordination with allied armed groups.
Both Ntaganda and Makenga receive direct military orders from
RDF (Rwandan army) Chief of Defense staff General Charles
Kayonga, who in turn acts on instructions from Minister of
Defence General James Kabarebe.
Xavier Chiribanya, who was reportedly involved in the killing of
Laurent Kabila, on 9 May 2012 declared that his UCDD movement is
an ally of M23 and subsequently held a series of meetings during
which he claimed full support from the Rwandan Government of
Kagame.
According to this UN report:
[quote]Senior Rwandan officials have also been directly involved
in the mobilization of political leaders and financial backers
for M23. Based on interviews conducted with M23 members, ex-CNDP
officers and politicians, intelligence officers, FARDC senior
commanders, the Group established that Rwandan officials have
made extensive telephone calls and organized a series of
meetings with Congolese politicians and businessmen to promote
and rally support for M23.[/quote]

(
HTML http://web.archive.org/web/20160405053046/http://www.friendsofthecongo.org/images/pdf/goe_addendum_june_27_2012.pdf)
Four Rwandans have told that the Rwandan army forcibly recruited
them for the M23 terrorist group fighting in neighbouring
eastern Congo. One of them described Rwanda's President Paul
Kagame as the commander-in-chief of M23.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) has said that they had also received
reports on Rwandan officers providing military training to M23
recruits that included Rwandan children.
HRW didn’t explain why they waited with reporting on this till
after the UN report...
Some 800,000 people were displaced in Congo since the M23
launched its rebellion in April 2012 (written in July 2013):
HTML https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-23519330
(
HTML http://archive.is/kQzCJ)
The following describes sections 61-69 as the most important.
These sections do NOT appear in (the version of) the report on
the internet…
[quote]It documents a whole economy build around the
CNDP-controlled territory in eastern Congo; bank accounts in
Rwanda filled by ‘pools’ of Rwandan exiles, CNDP tolls on roads,
its control of the lucrative charcoal trade, land purchases and
cattle ranching, ‘front’ companies and even the control of the
main Congo/Uganda customs post. The money – and this is resource
rich area – flows through Rwanda. The report also names senior
members of the Rwandan government and military who have had
close personal and telephone contact with CNDP. And it details
the supply of weapons and uniforms by the Rwandan government to
the rebel movement. It is hard to imagine what further proof is
needed.[/quote]
HTML https://africanarguments.org/2012/07/17/kagame-and-congo-how-long-can-he-deny-rwandan-involvement-in-the-east-by-richard-dowden/
Kagame strongly denied the allegations in the UN report, even
though these are well documented.
After the June 2012 UN report, in December 2012 US President
Barack Obama warned President Paul Kagame to stop supporting
M23. The US suspended (only) $200,000 in military aid to Rwanda.
Kagame ally Britain announced it would withhold $34 million in
aid to Rwanda.
For some reason, Uganda wasn’t included in the suspension of
aid...
Then, on 1 January 2013 Rwanda took a prestigious seat on the
United Nations Security Council:
HTML https://www.blouinnews.com/43625/story/rwanda-snags-plum-un-post-image-dips
(
HTML http://archive.is/2OfOJ)
In 2012, US Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice tried to have the UN
report suppressed. She explained to Gerard Araud: “[I]Listen
Gerard, this is the D.R.C. If it weren’t the M23 doing this, it
would be some other group[/I]”.
Rice did achieve in having some of the most extreme accusations
against Rwanda deleted from the report.
In 1993, Susan Rice was appointed to President Clinton’s
National Security Council and involved in orchestrating the
Congo genocide (and Rwandan genocide?).
In 1997, Rise was promoted to assistant secretary of state for
African affairs at a time that Rwanda and Uganda were invading
eastern Congo, taking control of mineral resources in a sea of
blood.
Rice has even worked directly for Kagame’s government, when she
worked for strategic analysis firm Intellibridge (in Washington
DC).
Other former Clinton administration officials at Intellibridge
include: David J. Rothkopf (under secretary in the Commerce
Department); Anthony Lake (Clinton’s national security adviser);
and John M. Deutch (CIA director).
In another one of those strange coincidences, Susan Rice and her
husband have profited from President Donald's approval of the
Keystone XL pipeline, in which they invested.
M23 is used by Anglo-American proxies Uganda and Rwanda, to
expand their control over Eastern Congo.
HRW has reported on M23's "widespread war crimes" in Congo,
including executions, rapes and using child soldiers.
According to Jason K. Stearns (in 2012): [quote]The M23 would
probably no longer exist today without Rwandan support.
It stepped in to prevent the movement from collapsing and has
been providing critical military support for every major
offensive.[/quote]

Burundi President Nkurunziza dies after expelling WHO
By: Firestarter Date: June 19, 2020, 11:35 am
---------------------------------------------------------
On 8 June 2020, the 55-year-old Hutu President of Burundi Pierre
Nkurunziza died unexpectedly and very suddenly “following a
cardiac arrest”.
Nkurunziza appeared to be in good health.
Maybe it isn’t that “unexpected” to some “conspiracy theorists”…
Nkurunziza refused to impose corona restrictions on Burundi,
allowing sports and political rallies.
On 12 May, the Burundian government expelled the World Health
Organization (WHO) because – according to Nkurunziza - COVID-19
is a false pandemic and declared WHO representatives “persona
non grata” in Burundi:
HTML http://archive.is/DxB2F/575df8937b305ef27b36b8933365bd271094cb87.jpg
Our wonderful media put the full spin on this one, denying that
he died of a “heart attack” but instead insinuating that he died
of the coronavirus, after his wife was flown to a Kenyan
hospital after becoming ill from THE coronavirus (never mind
that this hasn’t actually been confirmed):
HTML https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/09/burundi-president-dies-illness-suspected-coronavirus-pierre-nkurunziz
Another possible motive for killing him, is that Burundi
President Pierre Nkurunziza might have contradicted the official
story on: 1) the Rwanda genocide; and 2) the plundering of the
Congo.
I searched hard, but couldn’t find anything...
There was a lot tension between President Nkurunziza and Rwanda
President Paul Kagame, as they both claimed that the other was
supporting rebel groups (terrorists) in their own country.
Personally I think that Kagame from the Tutsi minority, who
after orchestrating the Rwanda genocide, has ruled Rwanda with
an iron fist, is a psychopath and pathological liar, so don’t
believe anything he says...
Pierre Nkurunziza and Paul Kagame were once on good terms. This
changed in November 2012, when Nkurunziza disagreed that Kagame
was supporting the M23 rebel (terrorist) group in eastern
Democratic Republic of Congo.
See Paul Kagame and Pierre Nkurunziza before their disagreement.
[IMG]
HTML http://archive.is/me235/9f290af12d671957f82858bc5bb1b6dd730bb1ec.jpg[/img]
In April 2015, President Pierre Nkurunziza announced to run for
a third term as president, which was in violation of the Arusha
agreement that Nkurunziza’s party had never agreed to.
Paul Kagame and other international politicians (including
Barack Obama) spoke out against this decision by Nkurunziza.
On 13 May 2015, a bloody coup was staged in Burundi, led by
Godefroid Niyombare.
More than 400 people were killed and more than 200,000
Burundians fled to neighbouring countries, mainly Rwanda and
Tanzania.
The coup failed and Nkurunziza was re-elected president.
The Burundi government, including Nkurunziza and Burundi's
Foreign Minister Alain Nyamitwe, accused Kagame of sheltering
Niyombare and helping rebels attack Burundi from Rwanda.
They also accused Rwanda from aiding the anti-Nkurunziza media
campaign (through radio stations like the RPA and TV
Renaissance) operating in Kigali.
A February 2016 confidential report of the United Nations
confirms that Rwanda recruited and trained Burundian refugees
from the Mahama camp.
More armed attacks came in July 2015 and December 2015 in
Burundi, probably supported by the Rwandan Defense Forces and
the Rwandan authorities.
In November 2015, Paul Kagame accused Nkurunziza of setting the
ground for a possible genocide by staying in power of Burundi.
Kagame has accused the Burundian government of hosting the FDLR
(Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda) and helping it
to move freely between Burundi and Congo.
In May 2018, 26 people were killed in Ruhagarika, in the west of
Burundi. The attack was led by Alexis Sinduhije, who lives
alternatively in the Congo and Rwanda:

I’ve looked for more information. Apparently Senior advisor to
the late President of Burundi, Pierre Nkurunziza, Willy Nyamitwe
(the brother of Burundi's Foreign Minister Alain Nyamitwe) was
in a conference with none other than Keith Harmon Snow in Oslo,
Norway in October 2016.
Keith Harmon Snow is one of the most prominent voices on the
truth of the Rwanda genocide.
From 10 minutes to 59 minutes in the video Keith Harmon Snow
speaks. He is a good talker that gives the impression that he
actually knows what he’s talking about.
He not only talks about Paul Kagame and his backing from the UK,
US and Israel, but also about the plundering of the Congo by
Western corporations...

Here’s a court document from Spain sent to the International
Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), dated 6 March 2008,
detailing acts of mass murder (hundreds of thousands killed) by
the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF).
[quote]On the one hand, the A.P.R. took advantage of the truce
period to obtain armaments which were necessary to carry out the
final combat. 500 tons of weapons were concealed underground in
excavations made for that purpose. This material was carried by
trailer trucks from Uganda, unloaded on a hill alongside the
Rwandan border, from where it was collected and concealed in
various places by the soldiers of the A.P.R/F.P.R. This was
carried out before the arrival of the international observers
and the M.I.N.U.A.R.
(…)
As from that moment, orders from the Military High Command were
given by PAUL KAGAME and JAMES KABAREBE to attack the Forces
Armees Rwandaises (FAR), in pursuance of a previously designed
operation, the initial operation for the final stage of seizing
power, despite the fact that they were aware that their missions
were not going to prevent the foreseeable massacre of the Tutsis
who had not fled the country in 1999 and who would probably be
murdered during the following days especially in the areas of
Kibuye, Gikongoro, Gitarama, Bugeresa and Kibungo where they had
gathered after the violent reactions which followed the
terrorist attacks provoked by the A.P.R/F.P.R, in particular,
during the two previous years.
From that moment on the previously planned killings were carried
out forcing the flight of thousands of persons to neighbouring
countries, especially through the borders of Cyansugu and
Gisenyi heading for Zaire.
As will be seen below, witnesses who held important political
and administrative positions have reported the existence of
reports referring to the killing of over 30.000 Hutus by the
A.P.R/F.P.R carried out at three Prefectures of the country
,during a period of just two months; and the existence of
detailed nominal lists of 104.800 persons murdered by the
A.P.R/F.P.R as from the date of their violent seizure of power
in [sic] July I995 until July 1995 [sic] from a total figure of
312.726 persons who were known to have been selectively and
deliberately murdered, despite the fact that there are not many
details available regarding the same:
Capital of Kigali: 19.331 persons
Rural Kigali: 37.410 persons
Gitarama: 39.912 persons
Buttare: 33.433 persons
Gikongoro. 17.545 persons
Cyangugu: 16.360 persons
Kibuye: 23.775 persons
Gisenyi: 3.100 persons
Ruhengeri: 8.750 persons
Byumba: 73.365 persons
Kibumgo: 39.745 persons
(…)
After the killing and murdering of hundreds of thousands of
persons both from the Tutsi ethnic group and the Hutu ethnic
group between the months of April and June 1994, on 17 July 1994
the A.P.R/F.P.R. violently seized power and consequently
hundreds of thousands of Hutus headed for shelter to the camps
of internally displaced persons situated mainly in the western
areas of Rwanda, whilst over a million Rwandan Hutus crossed the
borders to the neighbouring countries, especially to
Zaire.[/quote]

operation, the initial operation for the final stage of seizing
power, despite the fact that they were aware that their missions
were not going to prevent the foreseeable massacre of the Tutsis
who had not fled the country in 1999 and who would probably be
murdered during the following days especially in the areas of
Kibuye, Gikongoro, Gitarama, Bugeresa and Kibungo where they had
gathered after the violent reactions which followed the
terrorist attacks provoked by the A.P.R/F.P.R, in particular,
during the two previous years.
From that moment on the previously planned killings were carried
out forcing the flight of thousands of persons to neighbouring
countries, especially through the borders of Cyansugu and
Gisenyi heading for Zaire.
As will be seen below, witnesses who held important political
and administrative positions have reported the existence of
reports referring to the killing of over 30.000 Hutus by the
A.P.R/F.P.R carried out at three Prefectures of the country
,during a period of just two months; and the existence of
detailed nominal lists of 104.800 persons murdered by the
A.P.R/F.P.R as from the date of their violent seizure of power
in [sic] July I995 until July 1995 [sic] from a total figure of
312.726 persons who were known to have been selectively and
deliberately murdered, despite the fact that there are not many
details available regarding the same:
Capital of Kigali: 19.331 persons
Rural Kigali: 37.410 persons
Gitarama: 39.912 persons
Buttare: 33.433 persons
Gikongoro. 17.545 persons
Cyangugu: 16.360 persons
Kibuye: 23.775 persons
Gisenyi: 3.100 persons
Ruhengeri: 8.750 persons
Byumba: 73.365 persons
Kibumgo: 39.745 persons
(…)
After the killing and murdering of hundreds of thousands of
persons both from the Tutsi ethnic group and the Hutu ethnic
group between the months of April and June 1994, on 17 July 1994
the A.P.R/F.P.R. violently seized power and consequently
hundreds of thousands of Hutus headed for shelter to the camps
of internally displaced persons situated mainly in the western
areas of Rwanda, whilst over a million Rwandan Hutus crossed the
borders to the neighbouring countries, especially to
Zaire.[/quote]

Re: Rwanda genocide, Kagame, the RPF and looting the Congo
By: Firestarter Date: June 25, 2020, 10:41 am
---------------------------------------------------------
In 2012, more U.S. troops were sent to U.S. proxy Uganda,
reportedly as advisors to the Ugandan army.
It was of course Uganda’s President Yoweri K. Museveni that
played a major part in orchestrating the Rwanda genocide using
the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), while the later invasions of
Zaire (that has been renamed the Congo since) included the
Ugandan army...
The United States military has armed rebels (or terrorists?) and
dictators, and has increase the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM)
presence in the African Great Lakes region (Burundi, Democratic
Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda).
The African Great Lakes region is rich in mineral wealth. These
minerals are amongst others used in consumer electronics.
According to Dr. Vincent Magombe: [quote]America is part of the
problem of Africa right now. The Americans know very well that
Kony is not the problem. Where the oil wells are, the American
troops are there and the government in power. It doesn’t matter
whether that government is Museveni killing his own people. It’s
not democratic, but he is a friend.[/quote]
Few have heard of the Acholi Genocide because it exposes how
shamelessly Uganda’s dictator Yoweri Museveni has been supported
since he came to power in 1986.
The 2018 documentary “A Brilliant Genocide” details the story of
the “Acholi Genocide” that President Yoweri Museveni and his
army committed against the Acholi from 1986 to 2006 in northern
Uganda. Museveni cynically claimed that he drove nearly two
million Acholi people, 90% of their population, into
concentration camps to “protect them” from Kony and the LRA.
The Museveni government then failed to provide food, water,
sanitation and health care, while Ugandan soldiers raped both
men and women and their land was taken by Museveni and his
cronies.
See U.S. Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power with the “Butcher
of the Great Lakes” Paul Kagame.

In 2005, the World Health Organization reported that almost 1000
Acholi children were dying every week of violence and disease
most of them in the concentration camps (or death camps), but
President George Bush praised President Yoweri Museveni for his
success at “HIV prevention”.
The U.S. continued to build up the Ugandan military machine,
“Despite this appalling and shocking human rights abuse”.
The Acholi death camps were finally disbanded in 2012 and the
surviving Acholi returned to their land, but the land grabs,
which could be called a second genocide, continue.
After the death of millions in the First and Second Congo Wars,
Rwanda and Uganda continue to commit atrocities and plunder
Congolese resources.
In 2016, some 60 people a month are massacred in Beni Territory
in the Congo:

The following long article on the genocide by the "heroic" RPF
and Paul Kagame was written by Judy Rever.
It is in large part a summary of the testimony of "Christophe"
(of the RPF) about the massive amount of innocent civilians
slaughtered in the Gabiro camp by the RPF.
[quote]The goal of our group was to kill Hutus. That included
women and children. We killed many people, maybe 100 000.
Our unit killed on average between 150 and 200 people a day.
People were killed with a cord [around their neck], a plastic
bag [over their head], a hammer, a knife, or with traditional
weapons [machete, panga]. The bodies were then put into mass
graves or sometimes burned.[/quote]

Truckloads of Hutu civilians were brought to the Gabiro camp and
massacred for months.
After they were killed, RPF soldiers burned the bodies.
Numerous witnesses corroborated Christophe’s testimony that the
RPF had slaughtered (mostly) Hutu civilians "before, during, and
after" the genocide.
One soldier said that as soon as the RPF "liberated" an area,
all Hutus were systematically slaughtered (to make place for the
returning refugee Tutsis):

In late October 1994, Clinton’s USAID Chief for Africa Brian
Atwood met Rwandan Foreign Minister Jean Marie Ndagijimana and
the UN’s Kofi Annan in Kigali to discuss what to do with the
undeniable mass murders of the RPF that had to be installed as
leaders, so a minor technicality as orchestrating the genocide
had to be covered up...
At the time Robert Gersony had documented massive military-style
executions of civilians by Kagame’s troops.
Brian Atwood and Kofi Annan ordered Ndagijimana to assist in the
“cover-up” of the war crimes by the RPF.
As we all know the best way to keep evidence of crimes from ever
seeing the light of day, is by "silencing" whistleblowers and
(other) witnesses. And it really isn't any secret that many have
died, although not many have blamed US intelligence of murdering
witnesses of the murderous acts by our "hero" Kagame...
Ndagijimana resigned as minister, fled Rwanda and told his story
in 2007.
In the 2003, Chief Prosecutor for both the Yugoslavia and Rwanda
tribunals Carla Del Ponte, publicly announced that she would
begin the prosecution of members of Kagame’s government. But 18
years later, not one case has been filed against any member of
Kagame’s government (including Paul Kagame himself).
Del Ponte was replaced at the ICTR within 90 days of her
announcement by Abubacar Jallow, a US/UK-approved Prosecutor who
promised NOT to prosecute any on Kagame’s side, no matter the
facts:

One of the last credible reporters in the world, who features
extensively in this thread, Keith Harmon Snow, died last
December at the age of 64 reportedly from “cancer”.
Sir Mark Moody-Stuart was a director of a director of both Royal
Dutch Shell and the Congo-plundering Anglo American, and an
advisory member of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s board.
The Anglo-Ashanti Company helped rebel militia leaders with
lawyers for their defence in the eastern Congo.
Roger Winter, head of the US Committee for Refugees (USCR),
helped whitewash the genocide by the Kagame-led RPA/RPF.
Winter also provided covert support to John Garang, commander of
the Sudanese People’s Liberation Army (SPLA), a US proxy force
known for its brutality.
Roger Winter got a nice medal from Kagame on 4 July 2012.

Maurice Tempelsman played a key role in driving the “holocaust
in Central Africa”.
Tempelsman was chairman of the board of Lazare Kaplan
International Inc. (LKI), the largest diamond company in the US,
and a partner in Leon Tempelsman & Son with lucrative mining
interests throughout Africa.
In the 1960s, Tempelsman was affiliated with Congolese dictator
Joseph Mobutu and worked with CIA agent Larry Devlin in the
assassination of Patrice Lumumba, who wanted to nationalise
Congo’s mineral wealth.
.
[quote=Firestarter]The Kingdom of Belgium has admitted its role
in the murder. The execution was commanded by Belgian Captain
Julien Gat and Belgian Police Commissioner Frans Verschurre,
while President Tshombe and 2 of his cabinet ministers watched.
…
The Belgian minister for African affairs Count Harold
d’Aspremont Lynden sent a telegram to Belgian officials in the
Congo, 3 months before Lumumba’s death, “The main aim to pursue
in the interests of the Congo, Katanga and Belgium is clearly
Lumumba’s definitive
elimination”.[/quote]

The Chabad-Lubavitch cartels of Dan Gertler and Benny Steinmetz
also took a stake in plundering the blood diamonds in the Congo.
Movie star Ben Affleck also supports the Rwanda genocide
propaganda, and even became close to Paul Kagame’s family and
met in Central Africa with Rwandan militia leader Laurent
Nkunda, who is guilty of crimes against humanity in the Congo.
Keith Harmon Snow also wrote a book about the corruption in the
Connecticut family court system, which has been transformed into
a “private profit-based system of extortion and criminal
racketeering” that “enriches lawyers, judges, doctors and
psychologists”:

Snow’s death coincides with the Rwanda-backed M23 militia taking
control of the city of Goma in the Congo’s mineral-rich province
of South Kivu.
Here’s another long essay by Keith Harmon Snow about the
genocide in Rwanda and Congo (the African World War) in which
black mercenaries are used as scapegoats (picturing them as
black “savages”…) for the ICC political show trials, that
ultimately all serve the interests of Western and Chinese
corporations that are plundering the natural resources while the
population remains dirt poor.
Oil companies that have laid claim to concessions on Lake Albert
include: Tower Resources; South African consortiums PetroSA and
Divine Inspiration; and H Oil & Minerals Ltd.
Tower Resources is a US-UK firm affiliated with UK-based Hardman
Resources and tied to oil exploitation in Kenya and Namibia.
The architects of covert operations in Africa during the Clinton
years, including the Rwanda genocide, include: Thomas Pickering,
Susan Rice, Gayle Smith, Donald Payne, Ed Royce, John Podesta,
Anthony Lake, and (of course) Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Walter Kansteiner III was also deeply implicated in the ongoing
wars in the Congo. Kansteiner is the son of a coltan trader in
Chicago, and a “National Security” insider and member of the
Department of Defense Task Force on Strategic Minerals under
president Clinton, and Assistant Secretary of State for Africa
under George Bush Jr.
The FNI militia really served as the private proxy army for the
gold mining operations of the Swedish Metalor, and AngloGold
Ashanti, in a partnership with Barrick Gold.
AngloGold Ashanti, headquartered in South Africa, is the
Anglo-American mining conglomerate of the Oppenheimers and De
Beers mining cartels of Britain and South Africa, whose
interests are aligned with the previously mentioned
Belgian-American intelligence insider Maurice Tempelsman.
In 2000-2004, longtime Ugandan dictator Yoweri Museveni was
co-chair of the “Partnership to Cut Hunger and Poverty in
Africa” (PCHPA). The PCHPA is a front for USAID and
multinational corporations plundering Africa.
Other (former) PCHPA chairs include: former US Senator Bob Dole;
President of the International Rescue Committee (once again…)
George Rupp; and former Chair of the Commission of the African
Union Alpha Konare.
One PCHPA director also represents Bread for the World, another
Christian evangelical “charity” whose directors include Bob Dole
and former White House officials Mike McCurry and Leon Panetta.
Senator Tom Daschle is a senior fellow of the Center for
American Progress (CAP), the US “think tank” behind a multitude
of front groups with hidden foreign policy agendas around
Uganda, Rwanda, Congo and Sudan. The front groups involving
national security insider for president Clinton John Prendergast
include: the ENOUGH! Project; the RAISE HOPE FOR CONGO
initiative; Genocide Intervention Network, the ONE Campaign and
the International Crisis Group (ICG).
The ONE campaign was spearheaded by U2’s Bono and launched by a
coalition of 11 prominent corporate “charities” connected to the
corrupt Kennedy family, including Bread for the World, CARE,
Save the Children and the International Rescue Committee (IRC).
CARE has been funded by the giant weapons manufacturer Lockheed
Martin.
Moto Gold Mining “lease” has orchestrated a massive land grab of
1,841 square kilometres in Durba, Watsa and Doko. Moto Gold’s
partners include Siemens and Ken Overseas.
Siemens director Tiego Moseneke is also a director of PetroSA,
the South African oil minor getting lucrative oil concessions on
Lake Albert, while Ken Overseas Company is involved in the
Minière de Bakwanga (MIBA) diamond mines in Congo’s Mbuji-Mayi
province. Ken Overseas is also involved in a MIBA mining
consortium linked to the Belgian Philippe de Moerloose and the
previously mentioned Dan Gertler (Chabad-Lubavitch):

In 2014, Edward S. Herman and David Peterson published their
book on the Rwandan genocide, homocidal dicator Kagame, the
African World War that killed millions and the plundering of the
Congo - Enduring Lies: The Rwandan Genocide in the Propaganda
System, 20 Years Later.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a freely readable version of this
book that could be good. This should have exposed what really
happened in the Rwandan genocide, but it never did. While Herman
and Peterson aren't famous, Herman has frequently collaborated
with the well-known Noam Chomsky....
Here's (the transcript of) a 2016 interview with Edward S.
Herman, who has been attacked as a "genocide denier" by
mainstream history falsifiers.
His conclusions are very similar to the truth I've discovered
behind all the lies about the "Rwandan genocide":
HTML https://www.globalresearch.ca/rwanda-the-enduring-lies-a-project-censored-interview-with-professor-ed-herman/5502707
In 2010, Edward S. Herman and David Peterson already published a
book on "the politics of genocide" in which they describe that
"genocide" by US allies is never called "genocide", but when
it's an enemy of US imperialist politics, it's always called
"genocide", even when this isn't true. With a forword by Noam
Chomsky and endorsed by John Pilger (another well-known
journalist).
So they describe several "genocides" by the US (and their
friends) that were described as "benign bloodbaths" by our
wonderful media, and "genocides" by their adverseries that
weren't really or were blamed on others than the (real) mass
murderers (friends of the US authorities).
Here they already deny the official version of the Rwandan
genocide "that turned perpetrator and victim upside-down",
detailed in Chapter 4, while also explaining that the same mass
murdering psychopaths that were declared the heroes of the
genocide continued their murdering of Africans in the Congo
(while plundering the dirt poor country).
In my opinion the book isn't detailed enough (it's relatively
short at only 150 pages)...

Another important topic in this 2010 book, are the double
standards in the wars that broke up Yugoslavia.
Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman described that preceding the July
1995 Srebrenica massacre, several thousand Serb civilians were
killed, which were essentially unreported in the mainstream
media, while the numbers of Srebrenica’s executed victims were
inflated:
HTML https://monthlyreview.org/2017/07/01/fake-news-on-russia-and-other-official-enemies/
They deny that the Serbs were guilty of genocide, like in
Srebrenica, while the murder of Serbs by US allies were
described as "benign bloodbaths", similar to what I have argued:
