RWANDA : THE ICC CONFIRMS DRC INVESTIGATIONS IN A FRESH LETTER TO COUNSEL OF FDU-INKINGI AND RNC .

Theogene Rudasingwa

PRESS RELEASE.


Date : 15 October 2012.

M.P. Dillon, Head of the Information & Evidence Unit in the Office of the ICC Prosecutor says in a letter with Reference OTP-CR-239/12 dated The Hague, Thursday, 11 October 2012 sent to counsel Barrister Christopher C. Black in relation to the complaint against President Kagame and his accomplices submitted on 17 August 2012 in the Hague (ICC) on behalf of FDU-INKINGI, RNC, Réseau International Femmes pour la Démocratie et la Paix (RIFDP) and other civil and political groups :


«On behalf of the Prosecutor, I thank you for your communication received on 17/08/2012, as well as any subsequent related information, concerning the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). As you probably know, the Office is now investigating the situation in the DRC. In June 2003, in response to various communications, the Prosecutor identified the situation as a priority for his Office. In April 2004, the DRC formally referred the situation of the DRC to the Prosecutor. In June 2004, the Prosecutor announced his decision to open an investigation into the situation in the DRC. In making his announcement, the Prosecutor underscored his intention to focus on the perpetrators most responsible for crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court now being committed in the DRC. (...)»


Though we welcome this prompt reaction and confirmation that the ICC is "investigating" matters on the DRC, we are still encouraging for an immediate public action on our specific complaint against president Paul Kagame and his accomplices regarding the crimes of the M23 militia in the DRC and the criminal involvement of Rwandan government.

Now there should be no other obstacles stopping international law enforcers to bring to book the perpetrators most responsible for crimes committed by M23 militia and Rwandan military senior officers involved. The UN Group of Experts on the DRC’s report concerning Rwandan government violations of the arms embargo and sanctions regime has submitted on 13 October 2012 its final annual report to the UN Sanctions Committee confirming that Rwanda is still supporting, training and arming the notorious militia despite the international community outcry. Cutting the Rwandan aid by donors is not enough any more, sanctions including travel bans, and regime change are timely.

RWANDA:Extraordinary rendition, Rwanda-style

(DAILY MAVERICK)Enforced disappearances, long detentions without charge, parallel justice mechanisms, a network of secret prisons – these are all the hallmarks of the US program of ‘extraordinary rendition’. This time, however, we’re talking about Rwanda, and a new Amnesty report which accused Kagame of orchestrating a very similar program on a domestic level. The extraordinary is becoming distinctly ordinary. By SIMON ALLISON.

When President Paul Kagame has a problem, he often looks west for solutions. When his poverty-stricken country needed cash, he asked Western countries for handouts, and continues to receive them. When he needed to restructure Rwanda’s economy, he modelled it – quite successfully – on the technology-centric economies of Britain and the USA. When he wanted Rwanda to integrate more closely with the international community, he made the country learn English.
Eventually, he found himself looking west so much that he asked Tony Blair for a handful of seasoned political advisors, stationed in the Rwandan president’s office under the aegis of Blair’s African Governance Initiative.
It should come as no surprise, therefore, that when Kagame needed a way to deal with troublesome political opposition, he looked west – and saw an admirably efficient model in America’s “extraordinary rendition” program, which in its heyday combined a global network of secret prisons, a parallel and completely unaccountable judicial system, torture and detention without charge. This was how America (Land of the Free and Home of the Brave) chose to deliver justice in the War on Terror, and Kagame can hardly be blamed for implementing the same system in his own country; especially when he’s receiving advice from Blair, one of the major facilitators of extraordinary rendition while he was British prime minister.
The details of Kagame’s own parallel detention program were outlined in an Amnesty report released Monday. “Scores of people are held in detention in military camps and the safeguards which protect detainees in police stations and other official places of detention are circumvented. Hidden from view, detainees have been unlawfully detained as well as reportedly tortured and otherwise ill-treated.”
The report goes on to detail a number of specific cases where suspects were summarily detained without charge; tortured into making false confessions; and where suspects’ families were not informed of their detention. In total, Amnesty documented 45 cases of illegal detention and 18 allegations of torture or ill-treatment, although the rights group was at pains to clarify that it suspected the numbers involved to be higher.
Somewhat ironically, even though Rwanda’s network of secret military prisons and unlawful detention mirrors those established by the United States and supported by Britain, the Amnesty report could force both those countries to scale back their relationship with Rwanda.
“The report is the latest blow to the Rwandan President Paul Kagame’s battered reputation following allegations of persecuting opponents, gagging media and arming rebels in the neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo. International donors have partially suspended aid but Britain in particular is under mounting pressure to go further,” wrote David Smith in The Guardian.
Rwanda, naturally, denies these allegations. “There is no torture in our country and we can't investigate on a false allegation,” said Alphonse Hitiyaremye, Rwanda’s deputy prosecutor general. Meanwhile on Twitter, Foreign Affairs Minister Louise Mushikiwabo went on the attack: “Rwanda will act on all credible claims of torture but won't engage in a shouting match w/another NGO seeking headlines at Rwanda's expense.”
Rwanda and international NGOs don’t get along at the best of times; in a recent Time magazine cover story, Kagame lamented that his country’s image was determined entirely by Human Rights Watch reports (an exaggeration, but one perhaps indicative of his persecution complex).
If he really is that worried about Rwanda’s image, however, a simple solution presents itself: stop abusing human rights. Without Kagame and his government’s well-documented stifling of free press, intimidation of opposition, illicit support for rebels in the DRC and now establishment of a secret and illegal detention system, there would be very little for human rights groups to write reports about, and Kagame might well start getting more credit for the things he’s doing well, especially in terms of the thriving economy.
That’s the advice Tony Blair should be giving to Kagame – and should have given to George W Bush a decade ago. DM

RWANDA-GABON:Where are the souls of Rwandan refugees who were forcefully deported from Gabon: They souls are criying out for justice

This is a comment posted by a grieving Rwandan victim of Kagame's brutal regime which was posted on the Politico Online Newspaper:http://www.politics.co.uk/comment-analysis/2012/10/08/comment-andrew-mitchell-s-secret-scandal the comment is a heart-breaking comment. It starts like this:

Dear author, I am glad that some Britain scholars and populace as well have come to understand our agony here in Rwanda. It has been 20 years of torture, despair, hunger, hopelessness, death, and agony....it has been a rule full of darkness...at first it started as a gentle regime and a saviour of Tutsi minority but not any more...Kagame has been and still is killing all Rwandans irrespective of their tribal affiliation,,, I want to bring attention to the research done by American professors from both Michigan and Notre Dame Universities found on this link:http://

www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi0h-EASsSU after that Rwandans continued dying like flies no body cared because "according to Andrew Mitchell" all Hutus were murderers deserve to be killed."It continued under his watch. Let me bring your attention to unfamiliar or familiar sto

ry of a groupe of young people deported by force from Franceville in Gabon...I am writing to you because I was among those people deported...I am 30 now and I was 15 then...my story goes like this...the UNHCR asked all young Rwandan refugees that were living in Franceville and its environs to come out and register so that the UNHCR could sponsor their education...like any young refugee person,, we were thirsty for solace and hope,,, education was one of them...When all Rwandan young refugees heard that the UNHCR represented by Ms.Louise who claimed to hail from Cameroon, we all flocked around Franceville...we were tired and hungry,, they first gave us water and food,, we thought waooh,,, this is the end of the tunnel...after that we were put in different rooms then later we started hearing rumors that Rwanda had dispatched Col.Charles Kayonga to come and deport us... this is what happened...we saw Gabonese police all over the hotel and asked us to board the military trucks which took us to Mvenge International airport..here we were hurled into a warehouse where we waited the last order from UNHCR....I remember a catholic priest called Father Lorenzo of Franceville Catholic Parish pleading with both UNCHR and Gabonese officials not to forcefully deport innocent refugees...but they did send us back to Rwanda where on our arrival they subjected us to all sorts of torture... the RPF soldiers put red-pepper in women's vagina after raping them...these were our mothers, sisters, and aunties...for us who were men they pulled our penis and asked us to cry like a motorbike ride...we were put in a warehouse where we were subjected to all torture. shockingly, there were children as young as 4 years old among those who were incarcerated...one of them is a young boy called AMANI.....and Gilbert...more than 3/4 of 1200 refugees deported from Gabon and Brazzaville were killed by RPF on Kagame's order...in our group of 500 refugees both women and men, children and old as well,, only 17 people managed to survive,,, If I am not wrong in my calculation...we used to be beaten three times a day according to the times that free humans get their meals...This means that we were beaten up very early in the morning between 3-4am as an early morning breakfast...this kind of drill could last between 1 to 2 hours as long as they felt energetic and enjoying our screaming due to pain...they could go on.. then there is another session used to be called a late lunch session..this one was modest because it as a change of guards at around 6 to 7pm...after than there is what the RPF soldiers used to call a heavy dinner...it was a torture session that used to last from 11pm to 1am..it was the bloodiest torture ever...you could hear the women screaming because of the massive rape going on and children crying as they witness their mothers being raped...men were beaten up using both blunt or sharp objects plus pulling their genitals to maximize the pain...This happened between July 1997 to 2000...Ever since no one has ever talked about it to establish the role of the UN humanitarian body involvement in the torture of innocent Rwandan refugees who had fled far away from Goma to Franceville on foot because they were fed up with conflict...PLEASE ASK THE UNHCR-GABON OFFICE to tell us where the refugees they forcibly repatriated to Rwanda are....I was with my other three siblings, Pascal, Rwamuningi,, and Elisabeth who succumbed to the inhuman torture supported by UNHCR.

RWANDA-UK:Mitchell insisted on handout to dictator: £16m aid 'a parting favour' for his friend in Rwanda

'Parting favour': One of Andrew Mitchell's final decisions as International Development minister was to unfreeze aid to Rwanda

• New chief whip said to have made the decision in his final hours as International Development Secretary
• Senior Foreign Office source tells the Mail it was a 'mistake' and that Mitchell overruled civil servants
• Rwandan president Paul Kagame accused of backing  militia leading a bloody uprising in neighbouring Congo

Originally published in the Daily Mail By Jason Groves

Andrew Mitchell overruled Foreign Office advice to hand £16million of British aid money to a controversial African dictator accused of fuelling a bloody civil war.
A senior Foreign Office source told the Daily Mail that Mr Mitchell’s decision to lift the freeze on aid to Paul Kagame’s Rwandan regime was a ‘mistake’ which would damage Britain’s reputation for standing up against human rights abuses.
Mr Mitchell, now David Cameron’s chief whip, is reported to have overruled his own civil servants by making the decision in his final hours as International Development Secretary last month.
Half of the money will go directly into the Rwandan government’s coffers – despite fears that it will be used to fund a murderous rebellion in the neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
One human rights campaigner yesterday described the move as a ‘parting favour’ to President Kagame, a personal friend of Mr Mitchell.
The revelations will pile pressure on the chief whip, who is already fighting to save his job after being accused of hurling foul-mouthed abuse at police officers who stopped him riding his bike through the gates of Downing Street.

• ANDREW PIERCE: Why Andrew Mitchell shouldn't be too confident

Labour yesterday called for the publication of the civil service advice received by Mr Mitchell. Shadow International Development Ivan Lewis accused him of putting ‘personal friendship above proper foreign policy considerations’.
The Department for International Development insisted his decision had been ‘based on advice from policy officials within the department’, but refused to detail the advice.
In June, a United Nations report produced detailed evidence showing that Rwanda is backing the notorious M23 militia which is leading a bloody uprising in the DRC.

The militia, led by alleged war criminal Bosco Ntaganda, is accused of widespread murder and rape and has driven 470,000 people from their homes in recent months. Kagame, who was re-elected in 2010 with 93 per cent of the vote, has also been accused of suppressing political opponents and journalists in his own country.
A senior Foreign Office source said: ‘The evidence against Kagame’s regime is absolutely overwhelming. The UN experts’ report found incontrovertible evidence that there had been support from Rwanda to the M23 rebels in terms of supplying weapons, uniforms, tactical advice and command and control assistance. There was also evidence of Rwanda fomenting strife in the area.
‘Most people in the Foreign Office think the time has come to take a really tough stand.’
Sources close to the new International Development Secretary Justine Greening have indicated she is also unhappy about the decision and will review it when the next aid payment to Rwanda is due in December.

Foreign aid accounts for more than 40 per cent of the Rwandan government’s income, and Britain is the country’s single biggest donor, giving £75million this year. A £16million aid payment was frozen at the end of July following the publication of the UN report. It was released just six weeks later on Mr Mitchell’s last day in office.
Aid freezes imposed by the United States, Germany, Holland and others remain in place.
In a statement last month Mr Mitchell said he was releasing the cash because Britain had a ‘responsibility to protect the poor’ in Rwanda. He said he had ‘sought assurances’ from Kagame that he was not abusing human rights.

RWANDA:U.S. tells Rwanda to denounce Congo M23 rebels

Richard Lough Reuters
NAIROBI (Reuters) - The United States on Monday called on Rwanda to publicly denounce rebels who have seized swathes of eastern Congo in an appeal that highlighted its frustration over Kigali's alleged role in its neighbor's conflict.

Rwanda has repeatedly denied supporting the M23 rebel movement in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, blaming Kinshasa and major world powers for failing to tackle the problems that led to the uprising.

But it has not so far publicly condemned the M23 movement and donors, including the United States, one of Kigali's closest allies, have slashed aid to the tiny central African nation as the result of a United Nations report which concluded Rwandan officials were supplying the rebels with weapons and logistics.

"It is not and should not be too much to ask the government of Rwanda to denounce a rebel group that is preying on the lives of people or undermining the stability of a neighbor," Johnnie Carson, the U.S. assistant secretary of state for African affairs, said in a teleconference on Monday.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians have been forced from their homes by fighting since the M23, which has links to Bosco Ntaganda, a warlord wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on war crimes charges, took up arms in April.

"The M23 is led by individuals who are ICC indictees, is led by people who carried out serious human rights violations so it should not be too much to ask the government of Rwanda to do this," said Carson.

The rebels say they are fighting to try to ensure full implementation of a 2009 peace deal that ended a previous rebellion which U.N. experts said was also backed by Rwanda.

Contacted for reaction after Carson's comments, a Rwandan foreign ministry official directed Reuters to comments from President Paul Kagame denying accusations his country backed the rebels made during a U.N. meeting in New York last week.

Kagame and Congolese President Joseph Kabila met on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly but no breakthrough was made.

Kagame last week said that "solving the crisis will be impossible if the international community continues to define the issue erroneously."

A proposed African force that would be neutral and tasked with eliminating all rebels operating in eastern Congo has not yet materialized.

Carson said Kabila also had a duty to ensure peace and stability in his own country but Western nations have lined up to punish Rwanda, whose army fought two wars in Congo during the 1990s, for meddling in its neighbor's latest conflict.

RWANDA:SEVEN DEMONS THAT KEEP KAGAME IN POWER

Theogene Rudasingwa

• WHAT IS IN COMMITMENT?
  
  I recommend my friends to take a total of one and half hours this week to listen to T D Jakes talk about commitment. Do not worry that he is Christian preacher. You do not have to be a believer. Commitment is key to success in every life endeavor. For Rwandans today, commitment to change is a great stakes endeavor.
  
  For almost all of us Rwandans, we know how much suffering we are undergoing. We are a fearful nation. On every hill we live in fear, anger, suspicion, and uncertain of the future. We are in jails in Rwanda. We are in jails in Arusha, and even when are free, we cannot go back home as free people. We are banished as refugees in every corner of the world. We are silent for fear of persecution if we speak. We are targets of assassination in every corner of the world. We are in the jungles of Congo, fighting endless wars that consume lives of young Rwandans and Congolese so that a dictator may survive longer. We are poor, and yet being forced to give money to the so-called Agaciro Development Fund, to a dictator who plunders and kills Rwandans. We clap for the dictator, and while he is away, or secretly in our hearts, we wish him dead. We are a humiliated lot, living as second class citizens in the country that belongs to all of us.
  
  The revolution is ripe, since there is enough injustice and human suffering among us Rwandans. The harvest is plentiful. However, the harvesters are few. Nothing important in life is ever cheap. It takes nine months of pregnancy, painful labor and a whole lifetime to get and raise a useful human being. Revolutions are even more costly. The number one asset for a revolution is commitment. It cost commitment on the part of Rwandan kings to run the show for several centuries. Even the Belgian colonial enterprise was committed to run Rwanda for decades. It cost commitment to bear and deliver the 1959 MDR revolution. It cost commitment on the part of the coup-plotters to deliver the 1973 MRND regime that lasted until 1994. It cost commitment and sacrifice for RPF to wage and win the 1994 war.
  
  How much commitment do Rwandans have to win the current revolution whose core mission is to unite and heal all Rwandans? If you ask Rwandans, they will tell you they want change immediately. A quick and cheap solution, they will tell you. We spend enormous time on the internet and social media trading words among us and with the dangerous regime in Kigali. We are scattered in organizations that are weak enough to be manipulated, intimidated or bought by the regime. Many of us are neither hot or cold. They have one foot in the revolution and another in the regime that hunts them down. The Hutu are a marginalized lot, but they dream that one day, as if by magic, numbers will do the miracle. The Tutsi, hostages falsely believing that Kagame represents them, are in denial, thinking that monopoly of the army, intelligence, government and money will save the regime for ever.
  
  Kagame's regime is at its weakest since 1994, with little legitimacy among Rwandans and increasingly isolated abroad. This is the time to mobilise and organize, and shorten the agony and suffering of the Rwandan people. We must face and kill these seven demons that consume our commitment to move quickly to peacefully end Kagame's brutal regime:
  
  1. FEAR: Fear is the most powerful weapon in the hands of Kagame and his clique. The moment Rwandans overcome fear will be the moment the regime crumbles.
  
  2. PROCRASTINATION: Rwandans know what to do and how to do it but they are still trapped in believing that it will be done tomorrow. Yet a day spent procrastinating is another day spent in misery. Laziness has never been an asset. You reap results in direct relationship to how much time and effort you have invested in something.
  
  3. MINDS TRAPPED IN DENIAL AND DECEPTION: There still among us who believe we can restore the Rwandan kingdom, regimes of the past (MDR-PARMEHUTU, and MRND) or prolong RPF for ever. The past is gone, and gone for ever ever. The best we can do is to learn lessons to help us change the present and re-invent, or re-imagine, the future in which we leave behind the shared bad past, and build on the shared positives in our history.
  
  4. SELFISHNESS & GREED: The selfish Rwandans. especially most of us the elite, tend to think that the world revolves around us and our immediate family. We have become victims of instant gratification, without thinking about the future of our children and grandchildren. Yes, we still have to service the car, the mortgage, summer holiday, and a lifestyle commensurate with our status. We still have to reserve some of our resources to invest in our common future. Or, sadly, we are "bought" for a plate of jobs and money. We are enticed to "come and see" the new "Rwanda flowing with milk and honey". In our own country, we are asked to come and see, like visitors or strangers. Especially among the Hutu, we have become the generation of "come and see". To come and see your property, and that if you fall on your knees they will give back to you what belongs to you? What are we teaching our children? That they must bow in submission if you can only give them a job or food? Is that agaciro, our value?
  
  5. "THEY WILL DO IT FOR US" MENTALITY: There is a false belief among us that somebody will do it for us. The Belgians and the French did it for the Hutu, some say. Others say Americans and the British did it for the Tutsi. The truth of the matter is that Belgians, French, Americans and the British look out and fight for their interests. Rwandans must look out for and fight for their interests first and foremost. Nobody else will. To get friends who support your cause, you must show that you deserve their help, you merit it and you will put it to good use. But you must show that you are in the driver's seat. and that no matter what, with or without their help, you will win anyway.
  
  6. THE "US vs THEM" MENTALITY: Rwanda is so precious that very often we want to have it alone without the other. The other is the enemy. The other is the problem. The other is "inyangarwanda", the unpatriotic guys who hate Rwanda. The other killed my people. Who is holy among us to cast the first stone? The kings? MDR-PARMEHUTU? MRND? RPF? Hutu? Tutsi? We cannot re-invent Rwanda's past. It is shared, the good and bad. We can, however, choose to write our future together. We must be bold and courageous to look at each other from each other's standpoint, and see areas where we can stand and build together, brick by brick, one day at a time. We must begin where we live and work. We must reach out to the other. I am in the other. The other is in me.
  
  7. GUILT AND SHAME. We have wronged each other for too long that the demons of guilt and shame have robbed us of self esteem. We speak in whispers so that we are not denounced as genocidaires, interahamwe, revisionists, those who deny genocide, terrorists, etc. On the internet we write anonymously so that nobody discovers who we really are. I personally know exceptionally intelligent Rwandans who cannot speak out for fear of retribution from Kagame. One told me he could not be on Radio Itahuka because they ( kagame et al) would connect his organization with FDLR. Incredible! Somebody with a PHD!! We go to places we shouldn't be to buy identity and acceptance. Now there people in Rwanda who say they have "Tutsi blood" to gain a foothold withing the mafia that rules Rwanda. There are Tutsi who, I was told, used to claim they are Hutu during past regimes. We are what we are. Period. We should be very proud of what we are. We did not bargain with God to be what He made of us. We are the proud sons and daughters of the living God. We have all sinned but WE REFUSE to be held in guilt and shame.
  
  When Kagame taunts us with his death squads armed with cannons and bayonets, we should stand squarely in his face, and like teenage boy David to giant Goliath, say: "who is this philistine who defies the armies of the living God?" . We are building a powerful army of free Rwandans, armed with peace, truth and unity. The giant shall soon fall.
  
  So, Rwandans summon the courage to slay the demons of guilt and shame, " us vs them" mentality, selfishness and greed, "they will do it for us" mentality, fear, procrastination, denial and deception.
  
  Nurture your commitment. Get off your b--ts and go to work. Or else you will die in humiliation and misery, and condemn future generations to a legacy of servitude.
  
  We shall win!

RWANDA-SOUTH AFRICA: IT’S A DEMOCRATIC THING TO MOVE ON, SAYS CHIEF MOB OF RNC JOBURG BRANCH, MR HESRON MUKIZA.

From the RNC Newsonline

Johannesburg – Speaking to Chief Mob of RNC  Johannesburg branch Mr Hesron Mukiza, for him seeing members of political parties choosing to opt out,  sees it as a democratic thing to move on rather than dragging your feet trying to save something that is not working.

Talking about his role in the RNC as Joburg Chief of mobilization, he shared some of the challenges he faced during the initial phase of RNC Africa Chapter. “The challenges that we faced in the start, people were not prepared, most of them were skeptical. Just the thought of hearing that RNC as a party for all ethnic groups, was something that Rwandese didn't see coming. ” Said Mukiza.

“We are advocating for unity. Where people (Hutu, Tutsi and Twas) share ideas, speak freely. Unlike in Rwanda where people are accused of saying what’s on their mind and later are accused of Genocide Ideology”. Added Mukiza.

For him solidarity is a way of life. As party of bringing together Rwandese living in exile, he gave an example of how people continue to unite. “during the first court appearance of Lt Gen Kayumaba Nyamwasa at the Westgate Magistrate Court, in Johannesburg, South Africa people came in numbers and showed their support”.

“As a way of mobilizing people, we did a lot of work. People continue to show their support to our activities as well as to our fellow comrade Kayumba Nyamwasa in his court case appearance. This shows you how people no longer have issues with regards to ethnicity. People are just tired of killing regimes”.

Asked how far RNC has gone in mobilizing people. He said in Kinyarwanda “ijya kurisha ihera murugo” meaning “you first start at you house, before going out“.  “In the first year we made sure we mobilized people around us, those living in South Africa.  I can only speak for my Branch. I think on a broader scale, my superiors are the ones to give you a better picture”.

He warned those that still have a question of whether RNC is a one man party. “Objectives and Values of RNC are well defined/ known and they are readily available. RNC is for you and me, we don’t like people imposing things on us. Members of the branches are the ones to propose or give an idea to what is to be done by the top leadership. That is why we spent time forming structures.”

When asked his views on the resignation of Maitre Evod Uwizeyimana and Alain Patrick Ndengera from RDI Rwanda Nziza, a political party led by Faustin Twagiramungu, he said “ to resign in a political party shows that you are politically matured. You don’t have to sit idle in things you don’t see advancing the cause. Also dragging yourself from things that you see will not materialize, it is always better to seek alternatives.”

“When you see that can no longer fulfill your duties based on certain situations, you rather quite. To me that is freedom of choice. So, Maitre Evode and his colleague, I think they made the right choices.”   

In concluding our conversation, Mukiza said that “Rwandese hold the  secretes with in their hearts. Signs of change are seen every where. That time will come when they will vote democratically their chosen leaders”.

RWANDA-SOUTH AFRICA:A CONVERSATION WITH NSENGIMANA DANIEL. RNC JOBURG YOUTH LEADER.

From RNC Newsonline

Johannesburg – Saturday the 25th August, I had a conversation with RNC Youth Leader for Joburg Branch in South Africa. The will and courage to tell it like it is, is what drives this ambitious young man, Nsengimana Daniel.  The discussion started on a lighter note but as we progressed, the heat was on. The following are thoughts and suggestions from what he shared with us.

“If you go through the history of Rwanda, youth have always been used by selfish leaders for their own benefits and that’s exactly what’s happening in the North Kivu”. Said Nsengimana Daniel.  

“The strength of our nation (which is the youth) is wasted in Congo, in wars that they too don’t understand the root-causes”. He Added.

When asked how he feels about the recent developments in Rwanda regarding young men arrested over allegations of misconducts and various charges, he told us that “those  young men are being harassed. Those involved in capturing them, fabricates false charges so that they can carry on with their militias activities. Those young men are treated like a herd of cattle. You just drag them left and right and they follow you".

He goes further to advice them that “ Rwandan youth are the ones to take up the first step in fighting for their rights and the sovereignty of their country”. Here, he gave us an example of how the two governments starting with the ousted one and the current government, the two government have always involved the youth in wrong doings.

“during the Gen Habyarimana reign, youth were used to do bad things. The same mentality migrated to the current regime where we see, president Paul Kagame also use the youth to do more harm than good. So the youth need to be aware of all these things and rise up. The time is now”.

“ for example when there is instability, they call upon the youth to intervene. But when all is well, they forget them. So here we need to think twice and asks ourselves whether we are their tools to be used around or part of the solution”.

He also stressed on the issue of the recent attempt assassination to end the life of his fellow comrade and chairman of RNC in Africa region, Frank Ntwali,  by saying that “ it is a shameful act and we condemn it very strongly. We are aware that our lives are in danger, but yet again we know that we won’t live forever. So we will continue to voice against the bad regime however we can”.

Asked his opinion regarding the current regime, he stressed out that “the regime is in its last stage. They will do whatever they can to empty coffers of the people. Here I can give you so many examples of funds they established for the sole purpose of enriching themselves; 1 Agaciro Development Fund 2. Mutual Fund, 3. Education Fund, 4. FARG all these are mind-game type of businesses that are meant to bankrupt ordinary citizen.

He concluded by saying that “as youth, especial those still living in Rwanda, there is need to free themselves and start being vocal. There is a need for us as youth to break those chains and free ourselves from the oppressor, using whatever means we have at our disposal”.

RWANDA-SOUTH AFRICA:KAYUMBA NYAMWASA TECHNOLOGICALLY SPEAKING WILL FACE A LONG TIME BEHIND BARS

From RNC Newsonline

Johannesburg – The court case involving the six men accused of attempted assassination of Lt Gen Kayumba Nyamwasa resumed today in Jeppestown, magistrate court. 

On a witness stand stood Erica N Nienwenhuis, a Forensic Analyst from SAPS, Pretoria Central. What is more shocking from the defense team is that, prior to adjoining the proceedings during the last court appearance, the defense team argued on the basis of not having enough time to cross examine the witness.

Today it was a different case. The defense team, loosing touch with base, only managed to ask two questions, which Erica N Nienwenhuis firmly answered and they had no alternative but to cut short their cross examination with her.

Hilda Du Plessis, Senior Analyst Agent at MTN took a witness stand right after Erica, to testify on the database obtained from MTN’s database system detailing/ mapping the records of mobile phone calls, sms and voice mails made between the six accused men.  

The information provided by the service provider, MTN, not only well compiled  before the court, but accurately and point by point maps the modus operand of those involved in the attempted assassination, used. The prosecutor, Shaun  Abrahams, read to the public how the accused men exchanged mobile handsets in order to conceal their activities, while calling each other repeatedly in different locations, exchanging smses with one another, but the failure to catch-up with the technology is slowly catching up with them.

As an example given before the court, state prosecutor, Shaun Abrahams said that: three different SIM (Subscriber Identity Model) card numbers were used on one Phone. The IMEI number (International Mobile Equal pin Identity) of the same phone reflected on the database, being used frequently. The same phone belonged to accused number 5 the man who shot Lt Gen Kayumba Nyamwasa, also  known as Amed Seif before the court.

Shuan Abrahams also told the court that " prior to the attempted murder, 447 calls were made between the accused Richard Bachisa (the then chauffeur of Let Gen Kayumba Nyamwasa) know as accused number 2 before the court and Vincent Ngendo”. 

As the data was read out, two numbers from Rwanda emerged. One of which (+250782276419) belonged to the former Chief of National Intelligence Security Service, Col Emmanuel Ndahiro, who was reshuffled by the president and given a post in the defense ministry. As report by AFP.

The database before the court, clearly implicates all the accused from the date their sim-cards were inserted into their handset to the date that they were placed in custody. From the look of things, they are to remain behind the bars for a long time. The case will resume on the 5^th to the 6^th September 2012.
