STAND protests speech by Rwandan president

By: Catherine ZawApril 29, 2014 2 Comments

Courtesy of Paul Kagame

Around a dozen members of Stanford STAND, a human rights group, demonstrated outside a Graduate School of Business event featuring Rwandan President Paul Kagame last Friday, in an effort to prompt conversation of and raise awareness about allegedly repressive actions by Kagame's administration.

According to Jared Naimark '14, the STAND students demonstrated at the event because the Stanford chapter of the national STAND organization focuses explicitly on human rights in Sudan, South Sudan, Burma, Syria and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Rwanda has repeatedly intervened in Congo in recent years.

The group also works with Friends of the Congo, an organization based in Washington, D.C. that works to raise awareness about challenges faced by people in the Congo and to support Congolese institutions.

Demonstrators emphasized, however, that their efforts were not intended to interrupt the procession of the event.

"We [were] not planning to disrupt the event in any way," Naimark said. "We're curious to hear what he had to say. The goal is to get information in people's hands."

The demonstrators handed out informational factsheets and flyers that detailed human rights violations allegedly perpetrated by the Kagame administration, as well as printed copies of aneditorial article that they had published in The Daily that day, according to Melanie Langa '16, a member of STAND and one of the demonstrators.

"STAND was interested in changing the dialogue around this event because we felt it wasn't representative of the whole story," Langa said. "There are whole stories and perspectives that you can take to this event. Since he's been president, Rwanda has made many strides and has improved and [Kagame's] done a good job in a lot of cases and scenarios but it's also important to recognize that his government has been destabilizing Eastern Congo and because of that we are interested in making sure that side of the story people knew about."

Scott St. Marie MBA '15, one of the student coordinators of Kagame's address, stated that he thought the STAND students' presence at the event was beneficial.

"I'm glad that they were there to help broaden our dialogue about Kagame and Rwanda," St. Marie said. "Rwanda has a tumultuous and complex history, and I'm glad we were able to talk about multiple perspectives."

In fact, St. Marie later approached the students and ensured that one of the STAND representatives could engage in the audience participation portion of the event. Audience questioning, according to St. Marie, included queries about term limits and whether Kagame has plans to run for a third term.

"We passed out all the flyers we brought and people were very receptive," Langa said. "I think it was very successful. We got people to think of other issues that we didn't think would be addressed without some kind of push and we're contributing to what might be missing from that conversation."

Kagame's charm offensive in American universities

April 29, 2014

5

by Dr. Theogene Rudasingwa

Paul Kagame has been touring top American universities giving speeches deceiving unsuspecting students and uncaring top brass at these academic institutions about what he calls accomplishments of his reign: peace, human rights, democracy, development etc. This is vintage Kagame. He has the whole Rwandan population under lock and key, assassinates and imprisons dissenting voices, and then goes to the land of his benefactors to taunt the West as if to say, "I do what I want; you can go to hell!"

President Kagame basks in the glory of an honorary doctorate in humane letters from William Penn University, but on the way to the ceremony, his motorcade passed a noisy protest – Rwandans, Burundians and Congolese chanting, "Kagame criminal!"

Other than his love of million-dollar-a-trip luxury travel – money that ends up in his private pockets because he rents the private jets bought on public money to the Rwandan state – and expensive $20,000-a-night hotel rooms and an opportunity to visit his children studying here in the USA, Kagame seems to be thrilled to receive honorary doctorates and rub shoulders with academics. For a man who never stepped in a university out of indiscipline and not lack of intelligence, has he discovered that universities are useful centers of learning, contributing to human progress?

Universities have historically been places where intellectual freedom, openness and innovation have been nurtured. It is then ironic that Kagame, the enemy of freedom and openness in Rwanda, would be welcomed to Harvard, Tufts, MIT, Brandeis and Stanford to extol the same values that he lacks and fights. He should be grateful to Tony Blair, Bill Clinton, Michael Porter, Rick Warren, Michael Fairbanks and other hired mercenaries whose greased hands can return favors that enable dictator Kagame to hobnob with academics who do not care about the plight of Africans.

Of late, Kagame has not been received with fervor at the U.S. State Department and the White House. He must be secretly lamenting that. Universities provide an alternative opportunity to be around here and to continue his campaign of deceptions and denials. On this particular trip, he seems to be indirectly telling his strongest supporter, the United States, that he will change the Constitution and run for as long as he wants, and nobody will stop him.

Universities have historically been places where intellectual freedom, openness and innovation have been nurtured. It is then ironic that Kagame, the enemy of freedom and openness in Rwanda, would be welcomed to Harvard, Tufts, MIT, Brandeis and Stanford to extol the same values that he lacks and fights.

Nobody should ever not take Kagame's threats seriously. He has killed and waged wars with impunity.

He is fond of saying privately that the West and the so-called international community lack the interest and will to stop him from doing what he wants.

He is right in this regard but wrong in another sense. Rwandans have the interest and will to stop and reverse the effects of his murderous madness.

Dr. Theogene Rudasingwa

And when that happens, and Kagame survives the coming change in Rwanda, Tufts, Harvard, Brandeis, MIT and Stanford should perhaps crown him with a tenured professorship of dictatorship. After all, he has stolen enough money to offer generous endowments to these otherwise prestigious but heavily commercialized institutions.

Shame on you Tufts, Harvard, MIT, Brandeis and Stanford!

Dr. Theogene Rudasingwa is an alumnus of the Fletcher School at Tufts University, former ambassador of Rwanda to the United States, chief of staff to President Paul Kagame and secretary general of the ruling party, Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF). His latest book is "Healing a Nation: A Testimony: Waging and Winning a Peaceful Revolution to Unite and Heal a Broken Rwanda." He can be reached at ngombwa@gmail.com.

This April marks the 20th anniversary of the beginning of the Rwandan
genocide, an event that saw 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus
killed over the course of three months. According to some, much of the
ethnic conflict can be traced back to an educational environment that
enforced divisions within the small African country. CIGI consultant
and author Elisabeth King sits down with Steve Paikin to discuss what
Rwanda's education system sees, 20 years later.

[RwandaLibre] Rebels in DRC kill 6 soldiers

 

Rebels in DRC kill 6 soldiers

2014-04-30 19:07

Kinshasa - A rebel group in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
killed six government soldiers on Wednesday during an attack on the
army and the UN mission Monusco.

The attack was carried out by the Alliance for a Free and Sovereign
Congo (APCLS) in the Nyabondo area, about 70km north of the regional
hub Goma in the restive province of North Kivu.

Monusco's military spokesperson Felix-Prosper Basse told reporters in
Kinshasa that one member of the UN force and three other soldiers were
also wounded.

Basse accused the APCLS of opening fire on civilians during the raid,
which he said forced hundreds of families to flee their homes and seek
Monusco protection.

The spokesperson also said the UN and Congolese regular forces, who
have for months been attempting to clear North Kivu of its myriad
rebel groups, had swiftly regained the upper hand.

Monusco gunships were brought into action to hunt down the rebels, Basse said.

Genocide

In mid-March, the UN's special intervention brigade and the Congolese
army recaptured the town of Lukweti - north of Nyabondo - which the
APCLS had used as its headquarters for six years.

The APCLS, believed to number some 500 men, was founded in early 2008,
consisting almost exclusively of members of the Hunde ethnic group.

Against a background of land ownership disputes, it battled against
the presence of ethnic Tutsis in North Kivu, refusing to recognise
their right to Congolese citizenship.

Congolese and UN forces are also battling fighters from the ADF-Nalu,
a Ugandan Islamist group, and the FDLR, a Rwandan Hutu militia that
includes some of the perpetrators of the 1994 genocide.

The government forces' most significant victory came in November 2013
with the defeat of the M23, a mainly Tutsi rebel group of army
defectors which had briefly occupied Goma. AFP

[RwandaLibre] Why Are Some Memorial Sites in Bad Shape?

 

Rwanda: Why Are Some Memorial Sites in Bad Shape?

30 April 2014 , By Theophile Harushyamagara, Source: Focus

Recently, while speaking to National Consultative Forum of Political
Organizations, Protais Mitali, the Minister of Sports and Culture, had
to explain the causes "of bad status" of some of the 1994 Genocide
memorial sites across the country.

While the minister agreed some memorial sites are in a poor condition
and promises a new law that is meant to reverse the case, in meantime,
pleas are coming to find immediate solutions to the problem.

"Us, whose relative's remains lie in the Rukumberi memorial site, we
are really sad. We would be delighted if this site was upgraded and
put up to required standards," said Callixte Kabandana, the president
of Rukumberi survivors' association in Ngoma, Eastern Province.

Rukumberi memorial site, where remains of at least 35,000 killed in
the Genocide lie, is described by Kabandana a "historical site",
considering how the Genocide perpetrators used copters to chase Tutsis
who attempted to find refuge in swamps surrounding the area.

Furthermore, he tells how in 2011, the Ngoma District officials and
Rukumberi survivors managed to fundraise the necessary budget to build
a respectable memorial site in memory of the loss of their loved ones.
But three years later, the memorial is in terrible shape.

Rukumberi is not the only memorial site in the Eastern province that
needs special attention, as Samson Gihana, the Ibuka representative in
Ngoma District, Eastern Province estimates.

Gihana, who is also a vice president of the East Provincial league of
Ibuka at the district level, thinks the province is far behind in
taking care of Genocide memorials compared to other parts of the
country.

"I congratulate the Southern Province, because they have shown the
courage to prioritize taking care of Genocide memorials in their
province. But that can't be said of our province. We are far behind
compared to South, North and Provinces and Kigali City," said Gihana.

According to him, though there are promises of changing attitudes in
this regard, budget constraints, a reason forwarded by districts as a
cause, is not the main issue, but rather a lack of initiative to
engage in caretaking.

"I think there is a lack of will in the Eastern Province. It is clear
that wherever there is a good will, there is no such problem. Let's
take Southern Province case. They don't have the same problem at an
extent we do. If they are better off, why not us? This is where the
problem lies... the will," said Gihana.

Gihana describes various memorial sites in the Eastern Province as
"not up to standards", or lacking clear maintenance plans. Some are
not well cleaned, others have remains damaged or are not rehabilitated
and in obvious need.

While Gatsibo memorial site is "not up to standards", in Ngoma
district, construction works are yet to start at Kibungo and Rukumberi
sites. At Kirehe, Nyarubuye, Rwamagana and Bugesera memorial sites,
despite talks of rehabilitation, works are yet to be finished.

Special attention

The recent report of the National Commission for the Fight against
Genocide (CNLG), documented memorial sites across the country that
needs special attention.

In its 2012 annual report, CNLG said at least 30 memorial sites,
including Murambi and Bisesero, needed support for rehabilitation. The
organization provided funds close to Rwf 1 million to maintain
memorial sites.

Prof. Jean Pierre Dusingizemungu, the Ibuka president and also a CNLG
commissioner, admits several memorial sites are in a really bad
status, but adamant that all cannot be said to be in a deplorable
situation. The CNLG commissioner says district officials are at fault.

"When District Officials are committed and understands what it takes
to maintain memorial sites, there are no problems. The main problem is
the officials' attitude," he explains.

The commissioner gives the Huye district memorial sites as example to
stress that officials' attitude at district level is a determinant to
this problem.

To support this claim, he indicates several of southern province
districts that put the rehabilitation of memorial sites in their
performance contracts; that resulted in the current "acceptable"
status of memorial sites across the province.

Prof. Dusingizemungu urges District official to cooperate with CNLG in
preserving memorial sites in their respective areas, and disagrees
with talks of budget constraints at district level as the main cause
of the issue.

Of budgets constraints claims from districts, CNLG says that district
officials should work hand in hands with the private sector to raise
necessary money to maintain memorial sites, because the government is
not in a position to find budget for all the sites.

The to-be-promulgated revised law governing memorial sites and
cemeteries of victims of the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda will
provide some solutions to budget constraints, according to the
Ministry of sports and culture.

Because it is difficult to get budget for all the memorial sites, CNLG
say they adopted a strategy of rehabilitation them in different
phases, with priority given to the most damaged.

La réponse est simple: qu'on enterre tous ces restes humains qu'on
exhibe depuis 20 ans. Que les morts reposent en paix.
