[amakurunamateka.com] EU envoys criticize suspension of BBC service in Rwanda.

 

With massive media support by BBC to Kagame's war from Uganda to RDC in 1994, no none could expect that BBC would be suspended in Rwanda. This media support to Kagame has continued for the last 20 years.
 
BBC knows very well that Kagame killed thousands of Rwandan people. BBC witnessed this because BBC journalists were accompanying Kagame and Ugandan 's soldiers in their fighting  from Uganda to Kigali, then from Kigali to RDC where hundreds of thousands of refugees were massacred. I do not know who fight wars without killing.

BBC has not yet made any substantial report about  these Kagame's massacres. Now, BBC is free to do and they should it as soon as possible. It is well known that many Hutu civilians were killed by Kagame and then  the bodies were shown by Kagame to international media reporters who were accompanying him. Kagame was saying that the civilians were killed by Hutu militia.  The international reporters only had to report these massacres in that way because it was not possible for them to differentiate to know exactly who killed these Hutu civilians.The untold story about Rwanda's war and genocide has really not yet told by BBC. Let's hope it will come one day !


 
EU envoys criticize suspension of BBC service in Rwanda

Fri Jun 5, 2015 11:35am EDT

KIGALI (Reuters) - European Union ambassadors criticized on Friday the suspension of the local BBC radio service in Rwanda over a row related to a BBC program on the 1994 genocide, saying the suspension undermined free speech.
The service was suspended in October after a documentary by the broadcaster questioned official accounts of the genocide, in which 800,000 mostly Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed.
The state-run Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority said last Friday that the BBC broadcasts were indefinitely suspended. The case has been referred to the prosecutor general.
The BBC's "Rwanda: The Untold Story," which aired in October, included interviews with former aides to President Paul Kagame, a former rebel leader, accusing him of plotting to shoot down a plane carrying former President Juvenal Habyarimana.
The assassination of Habyarimana marked the start of the 100-day genocide. The documentary also suggested that Tutsi rebels, led by Kagame, committed war crimes.
Kagame called the documentary "cynicism of the highest order".
"We recognize the hurt caused in Rwanda by some parts of the BBC 2 documentary "Rwanda's Untold Story," European Union ambassadors in Kigali said in a statement.
"However, we regret the indefinite suspension of the BBC Kinyarwanda service on FM and on the internet in Rwanda, which affects media freedom and limits the space for expressing opinions. We expect legal due process to be followed in further steps," said the envoys, including those from the Netherlands, France, Germany, Britain, Belgium, Sweden and the EU mission.
"We expect legal due process to be followed in further steps," the statement said.
Rights groups have criticized Rwanda for clamping down on the media and stifling political dissent, a charge the government dismisses, saying it guarantees free speech.
Rwandan officials could not immediately be reached for comment on the EU statement.
The armed forces of Kagame's Rwandan Patriotic Front, led by Kagame, defeated government troops in 1994, stopping a three-month wave of bloodletting by ethnic Hutu extremists
Critics say Kagame, a Tutsi, has taken advantage of Western guilt over the genocide to increase persecution of opponents.
The Kinyarwanda program, which many Rwandans used to listen for stories and debates that cannot run on local media, used run 30 minutes every day and two hours every Saturday.

US should avoid double standards in their foreign policy. They should have started their fight against dictatorship through presidential term change by  African leaders long time ago. All leaders in DRC, Burundi and Rwanda are simply copying from Museveni. It worked for  Museveni, it should work for them as well. This how they think.

US opposes third term for Rwanda's Kagame: diplomat - Yahoo News

Rwandan President Paul Kagame during a press conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on April 16, 2015
Washington (AFP) - The United States would oppose any moves to allow Rwanda's President Paul Kagame to stand for a third term in office, a State Department diplomat told AFP on Friday.
"We are committed to support a peaceful, democratic transition in 2017 to a new leader elected by the Rwandan people," he said.
Rwanda's 2003 constitution limits the number of presidential terms to two and therefore bars Kagame -- elected first in 2003 and again in 2010 -- from standing for a third term.
But last week, Rwandan officials said parliament will over the next two months debate a change in the constitution in response to what Kagame's aides have described a "popular demand."
Washington has long supported 57-year-old Kagame, the Tutsi former rebel leader who led the offensive that ended a 1994 genocide by Huti extremists and led the country's revival.
But the US official made it clear that the United States would not back any attempt to modify the constitution to keep its ally in office beyond the next scheduled election.
"The United States believes that democracy is best advanced through the development of strong institutions, not strongmen," he said.
"Changing constitutions to eliminate term limits in order to favor incumbents is inconsistent with democratic principles and reduces confidence in democratic institutions."
Rwandan officials deny that Kagame himself is behind moves to review the constitution, insisting they are responding to popular demand from his loyal supporters.
But recent similar moves in other African countries have provoked unrest.
Last year, Burkina Faso's former president Blaise Compaore was chased out after trying to extend his stay in power.
And Rwanda's southern neighbor Burundi has been gripped by weeks of unrest and even a coup attempt as President Pierre Nkurunziza prepares to run for re-election.

-“The root cause of the Rwandan tragedy of 1994 is the long and past historical ethnic dominance of one minority ethnic group to the other majority ethnic group. Ignoring this reality is giving a black cheque for the Rwandan people’s future and deepening resentment, hostility and hatred between the two groups.”
