Why does the dictator and war criminal, Paul Kagame of Rwanda, is frequently claiming that Rwanda does not need UK foreign ?
The most world dictator in living memories, the war criminal Paul Kagame, the President of Rwanda has been fighting against the freedom of speech beyond his borders. It is within this context that he recently created the national commission that is investigating the BBC story about Rwanda genocide. If Kagame can challenge BBC, then you can imagine how it is impossible for Rwandan citizen to freely express their opinions to challenges apartheid, cronyism , dictatorship, discrimination and human rights abuses against the majority hutu communities, which represent more than 85 % of the Rwandan population.
Anyone who think or say what is contrary to Kagame's believes about Africa and the Rwandan genocide, face Kagame regime's unfair attacks for undermining his own version of Rwandan genocide or thinking governance.
Recently, in his national speech, Kagame admitted that the UN warned and advised him to stop his war adventures in order to save the lives of Rwandan people. Kagame admitted that he rejected that advice and continued the war that was funded by Museveni of Uganda and the UK Government. This resulted in the horrible massacres that affected all ethnic Rwandan ethic groups.
Referring to the UK which has been No 1 in providing foreign aid to Rwanda, Kagame has consistently claiming that Rwanda does not need UK aid while his country has more than 70 % of the population which live on less than $1 a day. However, Kagame does frequently release fake economic figures about economic growth to maintain himself on power and to attract more foreign aid. He claims that the country economic growth is now more than 7% without saying what this 7% of GDP represent or can do for the country. I am just asking a simple question to Kagame: Can this 7% increase of GDP build a school, hospital, provide cleaning water to 1,000 inhabitants in Rwanda?
Kagame may be right to say that Rwanda does not need foreign aid. Rwandan population is composed of 85% of Hutu, less than 10% of Tutsi and the rest are the Twa community and foreigners ( mainly Ugandans). While Kagame fought a deadly war claiming that he was fighting for the return of Tutsi refugees, most of these refugees did not go back to Rwanda. Instead, Kagame is joining them abroad where he frequently organise annually Rwanda days (or Kagame days) which are exclusively attended by these Tutsi who did not return to Rwanda or went in Western countries to claim asylum, leaving behind a country led by the Tutsi who are supposed to protect them.
Most UK foreign aid that was provided to Rwanda for the last 20 years has benefited only the minority Tutsi who represent less than 1,000,000 Tutsi ( i.e. 10 % for the Rwandan population of 11,000,000). That minority Tutsi live in the capital which is over-resourced in addition to most development activities being targeted to the capital to please the white funders who need clean streets and good hotels for their own comfort.
Kagame regime exists to support this small minority that remained in Rwanda with the foreign aid that he has been receiving from the UK. All economic resources including financial resources are held by and benefit the Tutsi who own or control all Rwandan businesses, financial institutions and DFID funded programmes.
We conclude that the current national economic resources are enough to keep supporting Tutsi ( who are less than 1,00,000) without foreign aid. Even UK government has been claiming that it has lifted 1,000,000 of Rwandan people out of poverty. These lifted from poverty are exactly the minority Tutsi.
Kagame is therefore not interested in foreign aid because he is only interested in the minority Tutsi's wellbeing, which may be funded by the current Rwandan resources, without foreign aid supplement provided by UK.
