[haguruka.com] Rwanda: Par « excès de zèle » l’ambassadeur Olivier Nduhungirehe se rend coupable de « minimisation du génocide tutsi »

 


Par « excès de zèle » l'ambassadeur Olivier Nduhungirehe se rend coupable de « minimisation du génocide tutsi »

111

La période de commémoration du génocide rwandais offre l'occasion aux représentants du régime dictatorial de Paul Kagame à l'étranger d'exploiter honteusement ce drame dont il est le déclencheur pour en faire sa source de légitimité du pouvoir conquis par les armes.

 

En Belgique, pays européen qui héberge le plus grand nombre de Rwandais de toutes origines ethniques, le représentant du régime de Kigali, le tonitruant ambassadeur Olivier Nduhungirehe qualifié dans les milieux informés de « Hutu de service Budome mwene Nduhungirehe » n'a pas raté l'occasion. Dans un discours prononcé à Liège le 15 avril 2017 devant notamment Monsieur Raphaël MIKLATZKI, Conseiller communal à la Ville de Liège et représentant le Député-Bourgmestre Willy DEMEYER, il a notamment remercié infiniment le collège communal pour la solidarité que la Ville de Liège ne cesse de manifester aux rescapés du génocide perpétré contre les Tutsi. Il a continué en ânonnant la leçon apprise quand il faut parler de ce génocide. Il l'a dit en ces termes :

 

« La commémoration est importante pour perpétuer la mémoire et éduquer les générations futures. Mais la commémoration doit se baser sur la vérité historique et judiciaire. En effet, au Rwanda, on commémore un  »génocide perpétré contre les Tutsi »», tel que vécu par les victimes et les rescapés, et tel qu'établi par le Tribunal Pénal International pour le Rwanda (TPIR). On ne commémore donc ni un  »génocide rwandais », ni un  »génocide au Rwanda ». Si l'on veut exprimer une compassion sincère, on doit toujours nommer les victimes. Et pour cause, la commémoration est celle des victimes qui nous ont quittés et non celle du crime qui les a emportées ».

 

En effet au Rwanda de Paul Kagamé, parler de « génocide » sans l'accompagner de l'ethnie « tutsi » revient à nier ou minimiser ce génocide, ce qui constitue un des crimes les plus graves dans ce pays. De même évoquer à cette occasion les autres victimes rwandaises qui ne sont pas tutsi et même celles tuées en compagnie des Tutsi ou en leur venant en aide, constitue un crime de « négation du génocide » lourdement puni par le régime.
Mais saisi par on ne sait quel démon et surement tiraillé par ses contradictions, le « hutu de service » faisant office d'ambassadeur du FPR en Belgique a dérapé et s'est permis la tirade ci-après :

 

« Le 11 avril 1994, plus de 2.000 laissés-pour-compte ont été massacrés à Nyanza-Kicukiro, une localité de la ville de Kigali. Ils s'étaient réfugiés dans une école technique protégée par des casques bleus belges. Sous l'ordre du colonel Luc Marchal, alors commandant du contingent belge de la Mission des Nations Unies pour le Rwanda (MINUAR), les casques bleus ont quitté l'école, évacuant belges et européens, mais abandonnant les Tutsi […] qui avaient cru y trouver refuge. Ils furent massacrés sans pitié par des militaires et des gendarmes, juste après le départ des casques bleus des Nations Unies. Je rends ici hommage aux victimes de ce massacre révoltant, y compris Boniface Ngulinzira, ancien Ministre des Affaires étrangères et artisan des Accords de Paix d'Arusha ».

 

On notera d'abord que citer le nom du Colonel Luc Marchal en cette circonstance répond plus à un impératif de « punir » ce brave officier intègre pour son positionnement ultérieur dans le camp de ceux qui militent pour la vérité dans le drame rwandais, que pour son action militaire au sein de la MINUAR en 1993-1994 où il était sous les ordres du général canadien Roméo Dallaire, actuellement considéré lui, comme un « héros » par le même régime du FPR.

 

Le « Hutu de service » Nduhungirehe n'hésite pas à mentir comme quoi l'ordre d'évacuer l'ETO venait du Colonel Marchal, alors que ledit ordre d'abandonner l'ETO venait du général Dallaire en tant que Commandant en Chef de la Force. Les autres officiers en dessous de lui ne faisant que le répercuter. En tant que diplomate en exercice, sa nullité en matière militaire ne serait être prise en considération comme circonstance atténuante. Mais plus grave, l'imprudent jeune ambassadeur a mis dans la catégorie des victimes du «génocide tutsi », Boniface Ngulinzira, un ancien ministre des Affaires étrangères assassiné en avril 1994. Or, Boniface Ngulinzira était un hutu originaire de Butaro- Ruhengeri (Nord) et qui fut longtemps Conseiller à la présidence sous Habyarimana avant de rejoindre le parti d'opposition MDR en 1991 et de devenir ministre en 1992.

 

Jusqu'aujourd'hui, le régime du FPR n'a même pas octroyé à feu Boniface Ngulinzira le statut de « politicien hutu tué en 1994 » accordé à certains et pour qui on a construit un mausolée au mont Rebero. Et voilà que l'inconscient Olivier Nduhungirehe ose l'élever au rang de « victime du génocide tutsi » !

 

Paradoxalement, l'ambassadeur Olivier Nduhungirehe n'ose pas traiter de la même façon le cas de son petit frère Janvier assassiné au même endroit et presque à la même période que Ngulinzira Boniface. Pire, il en arrive à remercier les auteurs de cet assassinat qui entre-temps sont devenus ses maîtres, et à leur demander pardon pour son défunt petit-frère qu'il considère comme « un interahamwe », donc qui méritait la mort.

 

Mais la bourde commise par Olivier Nduhungirehe à Liège ce 15 avril 2017 est autrement monumentale. Croyant faire d'une pierre deux coups : fédérer les « Hutu de service » du régime actuel du FPR avec des anciens complices de la rébellion tutsi du FPR et en même temps apparaître aux yeux de ses maîtres comme le plus zélé des Hutu de service dans la traque des opposants, il a raté son coup. Et ce faisant, il vient de se tirer une balle dans le pied en déclarant officiellement « qu'un hutu (Boniface Ngulinzira) a été victime de génocide au Rwanda ». C'est Jean Damascène Bizimana ou Jean Pierre Dusingizemungu qui apprécieront !

 

« A trop vouloir frapper ses ''ennemis'' on finit par donner des coups à ses amis et même à soi-même ».

 

Emmanuel Neretse

[haguruka.com] Re: Christine Iribagiza avait quitté le Rwanda en 1985 avec son mari belge | Les Nouvelles de Kigali à Bruxelles-via Dakar

 

Dans le titre la qualité de rescapée du génocide est maintenu alors que dans l'article, on apprend qu'elle n'était pas au Rwanda à ce moment-là.

La Télévision rwandaise (gouvernementale) évoquait une rescapée du génocide des Tutsis poignardée tandis que le semi-officiel The New Times penchait pour le lien entre cette attaque contre une rescapée du génocide et la première semaine de la commémoration de celui-ci.

Unconfirmed reports linked the deceased's death to her being a Genocide survivor, and this being a commemoration period, when cases of assault on survivors seem to escalate around the country.

[haguruka.com] Re: Rwanda/Olivier Nduhungirehe, victime collatérale du ‘‘génocide rwandais’’ ?

 

I completely agree with Emmanuel Neretse in this statement:


Pour accorder une quelconque crédibilité à ce que raconte Olivier Nduhungirehe, il faudrait d'abord savoir que prendre dans le panier que constitue la personnalité d'Olivier Nduhungirehe :

  • Est-ce un ambassadeur plus polémiste que diplomate ?
  • Un juriste en pleine confusion mentale qui se croit tout permis et qui se positionne à la fois comme procureur, juge, instance politique, partie civile… dans une même affaire ?
  • Un psychopathe traumatisé par son état de « hutu de service » par le traitement y afférent de la part de ses maîtres ?
  • Ou alors le tout à la fois.

Les les lecteurs trancheront.

[haguruka.com] God squares off with the devil in Syria and Rwanda

 


God squares off with the devil in Syria and Rwanda

April 13, 2017

by Ann Garrison

The caption for this cartoon by Victor Gillam for Judge magazine, published April 1, 1899, reads, according to Wikipedia: "The British John Bull and the American Uncle Sam bear 'The White Man's Burden' (Apologies to Rudyard Kipling), taking the coloured peoples of the world to civilisation." The cartoon appears to have filled two full pages of the magazine.

I had a hard time writing a KPFA-Berkeley Radio News report last Saturday. I was trying to report on the racist, Christian fundamentalism of NPR commentator Scott Simon and Canadian Gen. Romeo Dallaire, both of whom argue that God and the devil are manifest in Syria, as they were in Rwanda in 1994. Dallaire even adds that "the white man" – his words – has a moral obligation to intervene on God's behalf.

So far so good, so to speak. I clipped some audio from Simon's op-ed on NPR's Saturday Weekend Edition and Dallaire's on KPFK-Los Angeles in 2014, the 20th anniversary of the Rwandan massacres known as the Rwanda Genocide. (Just in case you're wondering why Canadian warmonger Romeo Dallaire was sympathetically interviewed on a Pacifica Radio station, that's another story.)

I imagined that I could play the audio clips with brief introductions, and let both men hang themselves with their own racist, fundamentalist rhetoric, but I quickly realized that was not going to work. Even when invoking God and the devil, Scott Simon and Romeo Dallaire sound like reasonable men, descendants of the Enlightenment, not fiery fundamentalist preachers, so long as you don't stop to think about what they're actually saying.

Gen. Dallaire is, after all, the former U.N. peacekeeping force commander in Rwanda, 1993-1994, who went on to become Canadian Sen. Dallaire, co-founder of the "Will to Intervene Project," co-author of "Mobilizing the Will to Intervene: Leadership to Prevent Mass Atrocities," and recipient of a long list of honorary doctorates and fellowships from eminent universities in Canada and the United States.

Even when invoking God and the devil, Scott Simon and Romeo Dallaire sound like reasonable men, descendants of the Enlightenment, not fiery fundamentalist preachers, so long as you don't stop to think about what they're actually saying.

Scott Simon has been both host and essayist on NPR Weekend Edition for so many decades that NPR listeners, even very occasional listeners like myself, all recognize his voice; it's almost like ambient sound. Simon won a George Foster Peabody Award for his radio essays in 1989, and NPR has aired his mundane musings, pretentious platitudes, and insipid homilies ever since. They're as routine as Saturday morning coffee and chores performed to the NPR drone.

So why would anyone question anything Simon says? He takes on subjects like baseball, football, Grammy nominations, Wisconsin weather and why he'd like to spend winters in Florida, as well as weightier matters of politics and public affairs.

Religious fundamentalism from NPR's Scott Simon? 'Fraid so. This week, after the first direct, acknowledged U.S. attack on Bashar al-Assad's Syria, Simon voiced his observation that the devil is in Syria, manifest in the Syrian government, and locked in combat with God, manifest in the U.S. and its Western (white, Christian) allies. He even quoted Gen. Romeo Dallaire:

"I watched some of the wrenching, sickening images from the chemical weapons attack in the Idlib province of Syria this week that killed scores of people, many of them children, with our daughters …"

(A YouTube video was good enough for Donald Trump, so why not for Scott Simon?)

"I have always avoided using the word 'evil' when covering terrible events, even those in Bosnia and Kosovo that would later be labeled war crimes. I was of a generation educated to believe that 'evil' was a cartoonish moral concept, a word we used only when we didn't know what madness or imagined infraction might drive human beings to commit murder, even on a mass scale."

(Knowing that he is about to advance a literal interpretation of the Bible, Simon notes his credentials as a man of reason who will nevertheless make a morally imperative exception. He is, after all, a University of Chicago graduate.)

Religious fundamentalism from NPR's Scott Simon? 'Fraid so. 

"I still avoid saying 'evil' as a reporter. But as a parent, I've grown to feel it may be important to tell children about evil, as we struggle to explain cruel and incomprehensible behavior they may see not just in history – in whatever they will learn about the Holocaust, Bosnia, Rwanda and Darfur – but in our own times.

(Simon cites the liberal interventionist canon – the Holocaust, Bosnia, Rwanda and Darfur – as unquestionable examples of metaphysical, ahistorical, apolitical evil to teach his children well. Never mind that there are substantial bodies of evidence supporting narratives counter to those that the Washington establishment repeat over and over to justify U.S. wars of aggression. Why teach your children to reason about that? It won't look good on the resume, especially if you're hoping they follow your footsteps to NPR.)

"I've interviewed Romeo Dallaire, the former Canadian general who commanded U.N. peacekeeping forces in Rwanda in 1993 and 1994. Gen. Dallaire discovered Hutu soldiers were getting ready to massacre Tutsi civilians. But he was prevented by U.N. leadership from using his troops to try to stop the murders before they could take place. More than 800,000 Tutsi Rwandans were then slaughtered over three months."

(Never mind that there were only 500,000 Tutsis in Rwanda at the time of the massacres, or that the Ibuka survivors' group claims 300,000 survived. Or that a substantial body of evidence countering the official narrative emerged, for one, at the International Criminal Tribunal on Rwanda, despite the fact that the U.S. took tacit control of that tribunal so as to set the official narrative in stone.)

"Romeo Dallaire said that what happened made him believe in evil, and even a force he called the devil."

"'I've negotiated with him,' he told us, 'shaken his hand. Yes. There is no doubt in my mind … and the expression of evil to me is through the devil and the devil at work and possessing human beings and turning them into machines of destruction. And one of the evenings in my office, I was looking out the window and my senses felt that something was there with me that shifted me. I think that evil and good are playing themselves out and God is monitoring and looking at how we respond to it."

(A fundamentalist preacher's delivery would no doubt be more fiery than Scott Simon's or Romeo Dallaire's, but Simon quotes Dallaire on God and the devil in his concluding words.)

Dallaire shoulders the white man's burden

Since Simon had devoted so much of his radio essay to quoting Dallaire on God and the devil, I planned to play just a few vintage Dallaire clips on the white man's burden in my own radio news:

"I said the era of the white man coming back to Africa to reestablish security and so on is over. I said the Sub-Saharan Black African is simply not going to attract the engagement of the developed world, the North, unless there is a self-interest in there, and a country like Rwanda doesn't have that."

(In keeping with his mission to "mobilize the will to intervene," Dallaire chides "the white man" for engaging only as a matter of self-interest rather than humanitarian concern as in the West's glorious past of conquest, slavery, resource rape and humanitarian concern). This lays the way for moral triumphalism when white Christian soldiers finally take up "the cross of freedom," as in Trump's direct attack on Syria's dark skinned devil.

Also, Rwanda is not without resources of interest to the white man. It shares its western border with the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, whose resources it has plundered and sold to Western corporations and commodities traders for the past 20 years. Rwanda's invasions of DRC also destroyed Congo's national mining company to make way for Western mining interests.)

"As I was saying, 'The white man is not coming back,' the clouds had started to form, 'cause it was the rainy season [in Rwanda], so in the rainy season, it's lovely, sunny and then the next thing you know 'boom': downpour. And as I'm saying this, the sky got black and this incredible thunder clap just happened."

(God was no doubt so enraged that he was commanding the white, Christian West to re-shoulder "The White Man's Burden" canonized by Rudyard Kipling.)

Kipling's poem was first published in the February 1899 issue of McClure's Magazine – at the outset of the U.S. war on the Filipino people, after the U.S. Senate ratified the treaty with Spain that placed Puerto Rico, Guam, Cuba and the Philippines under U.S. control:

The White Man's Burden

Take up the White Man's burden –

Send forth the best ye breed –

Go send your sons to exile

To serve your captives' need

To wait in heavy harness

On fluttered folk and wild –

Your new-caught, sullen peoples,

Half devil and half child

Take up the White Man's burden

In patience to abide …

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. White supremacy is tenacious as a rabid dog.

As for that KPFA Radio News report, it was never produced. I played the audio clips of Scott Simon and Romeo Dallaire for a few friends, and they all said, "No no no. Don't play that. You'll just be giving them more air time. I can imagine family or friends hearing that on the air and thinking that they're making some good points."

Indeed. Scott Simon is so effectively packaged and presented by NPR, Gen. Dallaire by the liberal interventionists, that their effusions sound perfectly reasonable to the trusting ear. The words need to be separated from their elaborate packaging and presentation to make their racist, fundamentalist meanings undeniably clear.
