Frank Habineza of the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda documented all his bureaucratic exchanges with the Rwandan government, what he wrote to them and what they wrote to him. He presented the whole record to the Commonwealth election observers and published it online.

You know its a different thing to be home feeling a responsibility to contribute to your country and being self exiled-sitting on your ass doing nothing enjoying state benefits and you remember that oh my visa is about to expire so let me write something nasty about Rwanda so that they dont deport me and i loose on these free canadian state benefits.Lazyness thats what Aimable and some like him have become.What a waste?

Sorry but Kagame is not providing your arguments any support. Killing journalists, assassinating political opponents inside and outside the country is not in support of your best effort to upkeep his artificially clean image. All the latest reports show that the US, UK, and EU agree with the sources you are belittling. They all agreed with Africa Faith and Justice Network, Friends of the Congo, etc…on this announcement here. Soon enough, they will also agree that the Kagame is a cold blooded killer and no longer a useful US proxy. They will realize the folly of sending a proxy to Congo who couldn't focus on the task at hand and embarrassed them one too many times with this election.

They had forgiven the idiocy of going and fighting against another US proxy Uganda in Kisangani and killing 3000 Ugandans. The 5 million Congolese killed as a result of Rwanda and Uganda's invasion were not genocidaires and did not die in vain. AFJN, FOTC and others they work with have one thing Kagame doesn't have on his side. RIGHT is on their side nomatter how many people try to spin a good PR for Kagame. He will end up exposed for the millions of people he has gotten killed. Any honest source will tell you that. A dishonest source will put a spin on his crimes and justify them and claim it as collatteral damage or unfortunate reality of war. What was the justification for the Kibeho and Kiwanja massacres exactly? Kagame is not helping your arguments.

Pump some sense into Garrison and crew.I must admit Garrisons sources are so limited,she keeps recycling one thing after the other and every time she is connered by people who reason,she hides behind being against the US government policies in Africa.

Ann us your readers can see that behind your cause you have an immense hatred for Rwanda and Kagame and you do it with a passion,even when your efforts are not getting anywhere.You turn your frustration into anger and start throwing tantrums. I would rather suggest that one day take time off and visit Rwanda and see with your own eyes.

I don’t really get your point. Of course the US could have stopped the genocide although it definitely wouldn’t have been as simple as you think. It would have taken much more than jamming the RTLM believe me on that one.

You state that: “Kagame regime protects and helps Western Multinationals to get coltan for cheaper or for free, a product that has made $ hundreds billions of profits for western companies” This sounds like 2004-2008 news bro.. We are in 2010. To bring you up to date, Rwanda is now out of Congo… The relations between the two countries are at their best. Kagame just returned from a trip to Congo to celebrate their independence day. Let us quit living in the past. The situation in the great lakes region is improving.

As far as Rwanda-US relations. There is no arguing that Rwanda is an ally of US; i completely agree with that. The question is, is a Kagame a US proxy? Is Rwanda fighthing US wars? And to that i say no! Rwanda did not invade Congo to secure US contracts, that’s BS… The main reason Rwanda invaded was to secure its borders– the genociders were rearming and planning to come back to Rwanda.. Let’s reverse the scenario, if Alqaeda was training and being fed by the Chinese on our border with Canada, what would we do? That is the exact situation Kagame found himself in the aftermath of the genocide. Genociders were being fed and trained by the French right at their door.. What did they do: invade. I let you choose who is to blame..

Bob, are you for real? You must be joking, right?!?
The USA could have stopped the Rwanda Genocide by jamming the state radio stations that were broadcasting the message of hate and the propaganda of killing Tutsi and they chose not to do so. Guess what? USA military Radio-jamming equipments cost less than $50.000. Heck, all the countries agreed to send troops to Rwanda in 1994 to stop Genocide during the Security Council meeting, but only one country, the USA Delegation vetoed against sending Peacekeepers.
As for Western Grants, Kagame do receive them every year, actually USA Taxpayer money and in return, Kagame regime protects and helps Western Multinationals to get coltan for cheaper or for free, a product that has made $ hundreds billions of profits for western companies

Please broaden your sources of information. The sources you refer to, “Africa Faith and Justice Network, Friends of the Congo, Hotel Rwanda Rusesabagina Foundation.. do not represent Africa’s view!

I understand now that what you are really fighting are US’s military interventions around the world. The problem is that you lump every African leader in the same basket. In your thinking, they are all Africom proxies and so must be fought vigourously. The issue here is that not all African countries/leaders should be seen as US proxies, especially when it comes to Kagame. Yes, Rwanda is a US ally but by all means it is not a US proxy! This belief that Rwanda was fighting a proxy war in the Congo was completely concocted by the likes of “Friends of Congo, Rusesabagina…” and all the sources that you mentioned in your article. Again, broaden your sources…

In the aftermath of the genocide, the killers fled to Congo and lived right at the border, being fed and trained by the French and rearming with the objective to take back Rwanda. Kagame was left with no choice but to invade! The invasion was done by foot, no US tanks, no US helicopters, no US logistical support, absolutely nothing…. Only hardened Rwandans fighters returning hundreds of thousands of genociders back to Rwanda and walking 3,000 km from Kigali to Kinshasa to topple Mobutu. Casualties occurred, it is a sad consequence of war – but to my belief this war was most necessary. Just imagine Al Qaeda training at the US-Canadian border? What would we do here in the US? Well, that’s exactly what Kagame did: invade. You must make the difference between proxys and allies.. AFRICOM does very little in terms of influencing Rwanda’s military policy in the region. The same is true of Uganda and Kenya. Kagame has a naturally tendency to distrust the West including US and UK. His policy on aid is grants only – to avoid conditionalities. The same is true for military support. You can support him so long as you do not attempt to influence his agenda. The US was against both wars in Congo but was litterally presented with a fait accompli.

I think that a simple visit to the country would completely change your view of it. I am convinced that you have never been and so there is no need to argue. Don’t rely on those sources you quote, the Rwandan story is very complex and quite difficult for us to understand. Take a trip and judge for yourself…

There is unfortunately no such situation in Rwanda . Paul Kagame would and could be a nation-builder if he went the democratic Singapore in way . At this point in time , I see precious little chance of this happening , and I'm afraid that Rwanda is yet again another Liberia or Sierra Leone or Biafra-war in the making.
