Death after Death is the talk on the streets of Kigali or in villages throughout the country unfortunately underground because all people are scared to ask why this is happening to their loved ones publicly. The recent murder of Major John Sengati by Kagame presidential guards has not only added salt to an injury but has also exposed the brutal regime of the Kagameism.

The questions on the lips of many Rwandans when will this serial killer stop killing innocent Rwandans?

Dear fellow Rwandans  who are still either in doubt that today  it’s me and tomorrow someone else, this man will kill one by one until all Rwandans are unable  to stand-up for their rights,  “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality” Desmond Tutu.

As Kagame plans to host what he calls Rwanda Day on 18th in London which in fact many Rwandans in the country have been forced to pay for this trip, others are crying foul that this trip will leave them bankrupt, the organisers including the former Rwandan critic Ignatius Mugabo who went into exile with his friend of the Umuseso and Newsline news papers which were banned in the country, after the regime wanted to kill them, he is now dancing on the same floor with the same killers he accused in his story , who killed Major Alex Ruzindanda?

What a shame that he is now on the pay roll of blood money of those who are not only supporting the killing machine of Kagame, but also indifferently watching the massacres, hunting of political opponents in the Diaspora. The United Kingdom should be vigilant for this chameleon like human beings who are serving a killing regime that almost kills any political opponent or whoever is perceived to be.

Kagame’s hands full of blood.

Kagame hands

Kagame has been on the front line in killing, looting and supporting proxies in the Democratic Republic of Congo [DRC] Conflict. Many political commentators have argued that the reason Kagame has been reluctant to withdraw from Congo is the piece of the cake of minerals and Timber that has not only benefited him personally but has also been fuelling the Congo War.

When back in June 2012 a UN Group of Experts pointed again in so many years at Rwanda as the destabilizing factor in Eastern Congo, many partners of the country of Paul Kagame felt that their “good guy” was tarnishing their trust more and more as years passed. On the other hand Kagame has been blackmailing them since 1994 for their apparent irresponsibility in his country’s genocide at the time. They did live with that guilt until.

However, the former ICTR prosecutor Carla Del Ponte in her book “Ponte’s book” describes in detail the systematic U.S.-initiated cover-up of crimes committed by the current Rwandan government during the 1994Rwanda Genocide. She also explains how she was removed from her ICTR position in 2003 by U.S. Ambassador Prosper, himself, when she refused to cooperate with the U.S.-initiated “cover-up” on behalf of a U.S. ally.

Carla del ponte

According to Del Ponte, her ICTR Office had the evidence to prosecute Kagame for ordering the assassination of Rwanda’s former President Juvenal,Habyarimana, long before 2003. The assassination of Habyarimana, and the president of neighboring Burundi, in a missile attack on Habyarimana’s plane is well-understood as the crime that touched-off’ the Rwandan genocide but not the cause. She also details the dozens of massacre sites involving thousands of victims, for which the current Rwandan President, Paul Kagame, and his military should be prosecuted. Whereas, Carla De Ponte was highlighting on the crimes committed during genocide, Kagame has continued to kill his won people and beyond his own borders unabated until this day.

When Stephen Rapp announced that Kagame might be prosecuted for crimes in Congo in the same way like Charles Taylor the former Liberian ruler, many started to think that Kagame has lost his American protector from prosecution. But the dictator has continued to outsmart his critics both on national and international level. He has used both money and intimidation, he has bought those who are on sale and killed or incarcerated those who have been loyal to their country Rwanda and refused his money.This has reminded me of the good times of the former Guatemala dictator EFRAIN Rios Montt who was recently sentenced to 80 years for genocide of his own people. This dictator was praised by the former America president Ronald Reagan as “a man of personal integrity” During a meeting with Ríos Montt on December 4, Reagan declared: “President Ríos Montt is a man of great personal integrity and commitment. … I know he wants to improve the quality of life for all Guatemalans and to promote social justice”. Kagame too has received many trophies not on merit but because of political interests for those he serves. Kagame and his family own everything in the country, according to the Financial Times (UK) and the BBC Kinyarwanda Programe, Kagame’s group of companies under the roof of Crystal Ventures, controls assets worth more than US $500m inside the country. The group owns a construction and road-building company, granite and tile factories, a furniture company, a chain of market coffee shops (in Kigali, Boston, London, Washington and New York), a real estate developer and an agro-processing venture, Inyange. It also retains a stake in MTN, the leading mobile phone operator in Rwanda. All this wealth as I have mentioned above are used not for developing Rwanda, but rather to keep Kagame in power by using all means, killing , disappearance, and incarceration of  political opponents, unfortunately  at the watch of the international community.   It is for this reason that, Rwandans all over the world should join hands and tell Kagame to stop the killing of Rwandans and neighbors. Rwanda should not shed more blood, the International community should as well put more pressure on this dictator as it has done on Congo, it is evident that had the international community kept quite on Congo, Kagame would have continued the massacre of Congolese   women and children.
