Although building a new Rwanda would be a long process, Rwandans are moving forward John. The hutus who survived Interahamwe compaign because they didn't want to kill tutsi or were protecting tutsi; those who were not involved in genocide, despite the then government's intimidation, and the thousands that the so called RPF dominated government released from prisons after trails or after accepting/apologizing for their acts are now living in Rwanda by millions. Like their tutsi countrymates, these hutu are involved in politics, government, army and police; others are doing businesses and many are farming their lands —-, and all (Rwandans) together, strieving to overcome the legacy of genocide and build a strong Rwanda (saved from genocide evil). If you are Rwandan, you should instead help defeat this genocide evil by Interahamwe/FDLR and its recruited international arms such as Brugiere, Peter, and others.

Every rwandan has a constitutional right to challenge government's vision and policies for building a strong and prosperous Rwanda; and propose alternatives, for Rwandans to choose. The politics of genocide's denial is not among the constitutional rights, nor a development policy. The question should be: what is Ingabire's development agenda? what is her vision for Rwanda's future? does she have the required temparement and skills to lead Rwandans in overcoming the legacy of genocide and eradicate poverty and be prosperous? The answer is a big NO; she has no development agenda, except being genocide denier and supporting FDLR/Interahamwe. She has no political skills except the illusion of being nyamwinshi and belief of external influence.

Be sure that her and her networks' evil fight, which is a continuation of genocidaires' fight, will also be defeated. Just watch.

You are right John, these guys are soldiers, but on the wrong side and for an evil cause. They are a prolongation of the genocidaire fight, which, after being defeated by RPF arms, has now shifted to using legal arguments — recall Judge Bourgiere, the Spanish guy,… and now Peter Erlinder. This is the same fight Rwanda is facing — it only changes players and venue. This is not about politics, this is about the truth and truth's denial, it's about building a Rwanda without genocide's evil. The Ingabire case is not politics or democracy; because politics and democracy should aim at constructing a strong Rwanda, not destroy it again. She is using political process like the CDR, Bagosora and the likes, to advance Interahamwe (and now FDLR) agenda. She supported, financed … FDLR in DR Congo. She, her group and other associated networks, after failing to use western courts/diplomacy (Bourgiere, french diplomacy, —), have now recruited people like Peter Erlinder. But unfortunate for them, this time the fight is on Rwanda soil; and fortunately for Rwanda, it gives occasion to show the world that Interahamwe are not less evil than the terrosts the world is fighting.

What happened to Tutsi in 1994 was not a "massacre", but a "genocide". The two concepts are totally and legally different. Tutsi were killed because they were tutsi, not RPF combattants; these tutsi,including women and babies, who were butchered in churches, in district offices and on street did not shoot down the Falcon 50. They were citizens who needed their government's protection, but were purposedly massacred by it with no crime, just because of being tutsi. It wasn't a spontaneous acts, as a consequence of shooting of Habyarimana's airplane or RPF fights for their rights to come back to Rwanda, but a well planned (through listing …) and intentional (arming militia with machetties …) to kill a well known and identifiable group(tutsi — well mentioned on national identy).

Peter Erlinder and the likes such this Aimable are the legal dishonest. First, to show "fairness/equity/neutrality", call what interahamwe and its government did to tutsi as "massacres of innocent tutsi and so called moderates hutu"; then equate that to what they pretend to have been "RPF massacres" and logic conclusion, ethnic massacres as it always happen in African civil unrest, or double/Rwandan genocides; in all cases provoked by RPF which " … triggered those mass killings by shooting down the Falcon 50 carrying two Heads of States and their suites".

if ingabire nver delat with FDLR and she and Peter Erlinder are not a genocide deniers, then Joseph Ntawangundi is not guilty of genocide!

Starting January 28, 1993, the extremist Tutsis in RPF started talking about "genocide" in all their documents, speeches and interviews.

Yet, eleven days later on February 8, 1993 these same extremist Tutsis in the RPF massacred 40,000 unarmed Hutu civilians in just one day in Ruhengeri and Byumba. It appears that they were in their final phase of provoking the Hutu extremists.

The period of January 1993 to April 1994 was marked by escalating attacks by extremist Tutsis in the RPF against the Hutu population, attacks that were clearly geared to incite revenge attacks. 14 months later, this would eventually lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy of the "genocide" claimed by the extremist Tutsis in RPF back in January 1993.

The escalating attacks by Tutsi extremists in the RPF seem to have reached their desired goal on April 6, 1994 when the Tutsi extremists' killing of Hutu President Habyarimana and Hutu President Ntaryamira finally evoked the desired response of mass revenge killings by extremist Hutus against Tutsi civilians.

This begs the question of who actually planned these mass massacres of 1994? Is it really the extremist Hutus? Or is it the extremist Tutsis who started talking about them in January 1993 and since then took every imaginable action to provoke the extremist Hutus?

Any reasonable evaluation of the facts leads to the extremist Tutsis in the RPF provoking the extremist Hutus as much as possible until the extremist Tutsis reached their desired goal of ruling over the majority population ONCE AGAIN, after the monarchy was toppled 50 years ago. The extremist Tutsis in the RPF have a lot to answer about the events that took place in Rwanda since 1990 until today.

There are those who use force and violence to get change. This has been the chosen option by Paul Kagame and his RPF since day one when they were still in Uganda.

We have seen now and then such option being applied from 1990 until today. When he said last month he was going to give a fight to people like Victoire Ingabire, it's because he doesn't know any other alternative.

How do you tell someone who is asking for more democracy that you are going to give them a fight they will never forget. It looks like asking for democracy in Rwanda is calling for trouble.

What surprise then is this: why go all that trouble telling the world that you are organizing elections, knowing beforehand who will win and how? I find it to be irrational.

Ingabire never dealt with FDRL. That is sheer lies. She stands for peace and as she said, she has no army. You guys are so stupid. If she had an army, she be in the bushes planning military operations. She is all for peaceful transition of power so quit spreading lies aimed at discrediting her name.

She is Rwandan and know the issue. She also offers the best solutions. She is the hope for many. She speaks for those who cannot speak for themselves. Those silenced by Kagame's dictatorship.

What reconciliation are you talking about? There is no reconciliation in Rwanda. Having the country and all it's resources in the hands of Tutsis excursively, you call that reconciliation? Demonizing Hutus when in fact war crimes were committed by hutus but also buy Tutsis as well, you call that reconciliation?
It is time for us Rwandan to seat down and work together for a true, genuine reconciliation. But , that cannot be achieved as long as extremist Tutsis abuse their power and oppress Hutus. Ingabire should be allowed to freely campaign/ Peter Erlinder cause is noble and is out in the open. Now, you and your chief criminal, liar, manipulative, bandit, murder, I am talking about Kagame is the one that is being exposed thanks to the work of noble people such as Peter Erlinder.

Yes, there is a new movement that does not believe in violence headed by Ingabire. The struggle is going to be long though because warmongers like Kagame are standing in the way. Facing them is like moving a mountain but we must not loose hope. Freedom is coming tomorrow.

Ingabire wants genuine reconciliation (like they did in South Africa) not fake and manipulative political propaganda kagame uses to lies to whites who do not take the time to double check his lies. You lie that we are all Rwandans. No Hutus or Tutsis. There are Hutus and Tutsis. It's a fact. Now the question is how do we cohabit peacefully in our small but enough for all of us country? Pretending that there are no more races, when in fact we were butchering each other based on races not to long ago , is the most stupid thing I have ever heard in my entire life. Ingabire is being lied upon in order to keep him from defeating Kagame in the upcoming election. Kagame and you all know that Ingabire is the choice of the people. All allegations are fabricated for the purpose of sabotaging her electoral campaign.

I agree with you. "Intebe y'ikinyoma ntawuyicaraho kabiri". Those who know Lingala told me that Koffi Olomide, in one of his song he says that "Lies take the elevator, the truth takes stairs. So lies arrive first, but they get confused when the truth finally shows up.

Victoire Ingabire, Peter Erlinder, Ann Garison, you guys are brave soldiers. Keep up the good fight and don't let anyone discourage you. Kagame and his supporters will come here and write nasty comments, that is not surprising in anyway. Always remember, you represent the voice of the 97% of Rwandans who have no access to the internet, who are left out by Kagame and his akazu. Most of the negative comments are just rubbish, nothing but sheer lies. Again, guys you are making history by uncovering Kagame's true nature.

Nshimiye, Lies can last longer but not forever! The Kagame's evil regime mislead the whole world and now it is the time to expose their lies. Peter Erlinder is the voice of truth.

Under the Kagame's ruthless dictatorial regime reconciliation is far than the moon. Tutsi killers can not reconcile Rwandans as Hutu killers could not but the new generation of people who have no blood on their hands like Ingabire, Ntaganda and Frank.

Eric, asking justice for every Rwandan does not mean to deny genocide! The RPF and Dictatorial regime of Paul Kagame is now quite exposed by a Rwandan hero Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza!
