[RwandaLibre] Hollywood star Affleck urges US investment in DR Congo

Hollywood star Affleck urges US investment in DR Congo

WASHINGTON DC - Hollywood star Ben Affleck called Wednesday for
targeted investment in the private sector in eastern Democratic
Republic of Congo, where he sees a window of opportunity to end a
cycle of unrest.

The A-list actor and director, who has founded a non-profit group
called the Eastern Congo Initiative and has made repeated trips to the
region, advocated the United States shift its priorities in delivering
aid, in a hearing at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

"People would rather be invested in than accept aid, would rather have
a job than live in a camp," he said.

Specific, small-scale investments are sometimes better than massive
projects because they can be monitored more closely, Affleck argued,
plugging his organization's involvement in building a partnership
between local cocoa growers and organic chocolate company Theo.

"It's good business for the Congolese and it's paying off for this
American company," which will buy 640 tons of cocoa from Congolese
growers this year, he said, emphasizing "economic development is the
key for sustainable growth."

The "Argo" star testified alongside Roger Meece, former US ambassador
to Kinshasa, and conflict economy expert Raymond Gilpin, from the
Africa Center for Strategic Studies of the National Defense
University.

Along with former Senator Russ Feingold, President Barack Obama's
envoy to the region, all four expressed optimism about progress in the
conflict-torn, but resource-rich DRC, where they said a recent peace
deal that ended hostilities with the M23 rebel group was a major step
forward.

They praised the UN's "intervention brigade," whose mandate was
extended beyond peacekeeping, as being pivotal in bringing about the
peace deal.

But they said signficant reforms to the security sector are needed, as
well as elections.

Feingold noted that Washington has set aside $3.7 million to support
the DRC's next elections -- a "paltry sum."

"I think this is something we should heavily engage in," he urged.

Affleck, who also met US Secretary of State John Kerry, said the
troubled 2011 election, following a mostly well-regarded 2006
presidential vote, demonstrated the need for continued international
involvement.

"This is a region that's suffered enormous damage and trauma. And this
fire is now abating a little bit, and we have a window where
engagement on the part of secretary, the president, the Congress all
collectively can make a real difference," he said at the State
Department.

"And I think historically, there's an instinct to sort of put out one
fire and go to the next fire. And this is a point where we can act to
prevent the fire from igniting again."

[RwandaLibre] Probable offensive against FDLR in DRC next month raises risks to cargo and individuals

Terrorism & Insurgency
Probable offensive against FDLR in DRC next month raises risks to
cargo and individuals

IHS Jane's Country Risk Daily Report
27 February 2014

EVENT
Local civil society associations of the villages of Itala and Tama in
Lubero territory, North Kivu, on 26 February handed in a memorandum to
the local base of the United Nations Organisation Stabilisation
Mission for the DR Congo (Mission de l'Organisation des Nations Unies
pour la Stabilisation en RD Congo: MONUSCO), denouncing constant
intimidation and attacks by the rebels from the Democratic Forces for
the Liberation of Rwanda (Forces Démocratiques de Libération du
Rwanda: FDLR).

Local residents complained especially about the theft of food aid and
demanded that the government and MONUSCO address the "intolerable
situation". The spokesperson of the armed forces of the Democratic
Republic of Congo (Forces Armées de la République Démocratique du
Congo: FARDC), Lieutenant-Colonel Olivier Hamuli, stated that the
FARDC would soon "launch tracking operations" against the rebel groups
in the area, namely the FDLR.

[RwandaLibre] Amnesty International: The anti-gay law: Uganda's shame

The anti-gay law: Uganda's shame

(c) Pete Muller
'the homosexuals have lost the argument in Uganda. They should
rehabilitate themselves and society should assist them to do so.'
President Museveni

At the start of this week Uganda's President heralded a new low for
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people in the
country by passing the Anti-Homosexuality Bill.

The repugnant discriminatory law that's hung around on the sidelines
of Uganda's parliament for the last five years has been tweaked -
death sentences 'softened' to life sentences for the most serious
'offences' of homosexuality - but it is now law.

Prior to this week, it was already illegal to be LGBTI in Uganda, but
this law extends sentences for gay marriage, 'promoting
homosexuality', 'aiding and abetting homosexuality' - and more.

LGBTI individuals deemed to be 'serial offenders' (ie. frequently
convicted of having sex with someone of the same sex or 'related
convictions') face a lifetime behind bars, as do those with HIV who
have consensual same-sex relations. If you host two people who engage
in same-sex relations in your house, you could be found to be running
a brothel and dealt a seven-year prison sentence.

The Anti-Homosexuality Act's many victims

My heart goes out to so many people in Uganda. To the LGBTI activists
I met at London's Gay Pride last summer, who danced and cheered at an
event that welcomed them. To the individuals all over Uganda who will
live their lives being told their feelings are abhorrent and abnormal,
who face criminal punishment if they even hint at revealing a sexual
orientation or gender identity that 'deviates' from heterosexuality,
who live in a society that will 'assist' in 'rehabilitating' them. To
the health workers, police officers, aid workers and so on who now
face ethical dilemmas around reporting or not reporting suspected
same-sex conduct of individuals seeking their help.

Despite approving a law that actively discriminates based on sexual
orientation and gender identity, Uganda's Health Minster claims that
LGBTI people won't face discrimination when accessing healthcare.
Right.

The financial implications of the law are already being felt, with the
withdrawal of international funds to Uganda. Last week, Obama warned
Museveni of the negative consequences of signing the Bill on US
relations with Uganda. Today, the World Bank halted a $90 billion loan
set to fund healthcare services in the country. Norway, Denmark and
the Netherlands have cut aid intended for services including Uganda's
legal system on the back of this new law. Others will follow. The
value of the Ugandan shilling has dropped in the last couple of days.

With fewer rights and resources pulled from legal and health services
within days of the law's existence, it's ordinary Ugandans who lose
out - regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity.
There's no discrimination there.

Nature or nurture? African or Western?

In the last few weeks President Museveni appeared to conduct a bit of
a public sweepstake to help him unravel the cultural and scientific
evidence behind this 'being gay' thing. He settled on the decision
that same-sex relations are a social aberration, and while people may
be born gay, the state can cure them of it.

In response to Obama's warning, Museveni did, in a slight to 'Western
intervention in African matters', remind him the law's colonial
origins: 'homosexuality...should continue to be criminalised because the
British had already done it [in Uganda]'. He's not wrong. As with many
African states, same-sex relations were not illegal until European
colonisation.

However, by questioning whether one is born or created LGBTI, whether
homosexuality is a Western concept and social import, Museveni merely
created distractions from the real issue.

The debate he should have engaged with is whether he wanted to
guarantee his citizens human rights or not. It's that simple. Instead,
he chose to arbitrarily curtail basic rights for a chunk of the
population based on allegations about one aspect of an individual's
identity.

The witch-hunt begins

Last month Nigeria strengthened its anti-gay laws and immediately set
about rounding up and punishing those suspected of same-sex
relationships.

The day after Museveni passed Uganda's equivalent law, Ugandan tabloid
paper Red Pepper recklessly published a list of the 'top 200 gays' in
Uganda. Many of them were being outed for the first time.

A few years ago, the now-defunct Rolling Stone paper published its own
list of purported gay Ugandans. Months later, gay rights activist
David Kato was murdered in his home. This is no coincidence.

Kato did successfully bring charges against Rolling Stone, but by then
it was too late. This was before the Anti-Homosexuality Bill became
law; those named have fewer rights now. Red Pepper should also face
charges - the law cites the duty of editors and broadcasters to
protect confidentiality, but the maximum fine for outing someone in a
newspaper is only around £59.

One of the men outed in the Red Pepper spoke to the BBC about how he
can no longer speak to his family or return to Uganda after his name
appeared on the list. LGBTI activist Frank Mugisha appealed to the
police for protection:

Uganda Police Do some thing about the press on gay people in uganda,I
plead please you know our society it's like throwing them to wolves

-- Dr. Frank Mugisha (@frankmugisha) February 26, 2014

Meanwhile, in Zambia...

On the day that Red Pepper was endangering the lives of 200 Ugandans,
there was some good news as a leading gay rights activist was
acquitted of 'promoting homosexuality' after defending gay rights in a
TV debate.

Next week, the same court is due to deliver a verdict to Philip
Mubiana and James Mwape, both 22, and both accused of homosexual
relations. If found guilty, they could serve 14 years behind bars.
Since they were detained last May, Philip and James have been forced
to undergo anal examinations without their consent to 'prove' the
charges - scientifically pointless while invasive and cruel.

I hope that on Thursday, if the verdict is delivered it is a positive
one. The LGBTI community in sub-Saharan Africa desperately needs some
good news right now.

[RwandaLibre] Uganda Foreign Affairs Minister Sam Kutesa met several ambassadors

Uganda Foreign Affairs Minister Sam Kutesa met several ambassadors

Minister Kutesa and Ambassador Alphons Hennekens of the Netherlands

newvision
By Vision reporter

Foreign Affairs Minister Sam Kutesa Thursday met several ambassadors
accredited to Uganda with whom they discussed the Anti-homosexuality
law recently assented to by the President.

According to a press release from the ministry, Kutesa's visitors
included Alain Hanssen (Belgium), ambassador Urban Andersson (Sweden),
ambassador Scott DeLisi (US), Thorbjørn Gaustadsæther of Norway,
ambassador Alphons Hennekens (Netherlands) and Dan Frederiksen
(Denmark).

The press release about the meeting reads: "The Minister of Foreign
Affairs today met Ambassadors of Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and
the US to discuss the anti-homosexuality law recently assented by His
Excellency the President.

"They all expressed their governments' objection of the passing of the Bill.

"However, there was consensus from the ambassadors that they continue
to value the partnership with Uganda and far-reaching decisions will
not be taken in haste as they continue to engage the Ugandan
Government on the issue.

"The ambassadors were mindful that they do not want ordinary people to
suffer as a result development assistance cuts, as they are closely
observing the implications of the Law.

"Kutesa reiterated the President's position on the law but emphasized
that its intention is not to discriminate, harass or witch-hunt
homosexuals but prohibit the promotion and exhibition of homosexuality
in Uganda. The minister added that "we should examine this issue in a
cool and rational manner", with continued engagement as a way
forward."

[RwandaLibre] Are tourists subject to be arrested in Uganda's cities and safari parks?

WORLD BANK, NORWAY, DENMARK AND THE NETHERLANDS SUSPENDING LOANS TO UGANDA

Are tourists subject to be arrested in Uganda's cities and safari parks?

Feb 28, 2014
Not only the tourism world is outraged about the Middle Age and nazi
style approach by the Government of the East African Nation of Uganda.

The World Bank today suspended a 90 US$ million loan package to
Uganda. Three European Countries: Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands
are the first countries to suspend or freeze development aid packages
for Uganda for approximately 25$ and the United States of America is
reviewing USAID funds for Uganda.

In the meantime Uganda's authorities are on a witch hunt to detect gay
elements among their population and visiting tourists, so they can be
locked up for life.

Many in the travel and tourism industries are urging international
organizations such as the UNWTO and WTTC to take a stand. The safety
of visiting tourist and the tourism industry is directly threatened by
this law that endangers innocent visitors to be arrest just for a
suspicion touring safari parks in Uganda and travel advisories are in
place. Even more so, a hotel front desk clerk is facing jail time for
not reporting tourists that may be gay.

The World Bank still has $1.56 billion worth of projects in Uganda but
World Bank president Jim Yong Kim has signaled the bank will take a
harder line with countries that have discriminatory laws.

A statement said: At the World Bank Group, we will have a full
internal discussion over the coming months about discrimination more
broadly and how it would affect our projects and our gay and lesbian
staff members. My view is that the fight to eliminate all
institutionalized discrimination is an urgent task.

Uganda's national currency the Shilling has lost value since the
passing of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill.

[AfricaWatch] Rwanda: Is Evode Uwizeyimana a prodigal son or Hollywood Actor?

http://www.inyenyerinews.org/democracy-freedoms/the-untold-stories-is-evode-uwizeyimana-a-prodigal-son-or-hollywood-actor/

Evode Uwizeyimana aiming for the top job

Watching an Empire Program on Aljazeera TV hosted by Marwan Bishara, he describes Hollywood as the world's place where Americans' perception of the US and its culture is shaped; you don't fail to see Me Evode playing the same role. According to Mr. Marwan, Hollywood is shaping people's perceptions of the US and world history.

The Parable of the Lost Son in Luke 15:11-32 where Jesus illustrated how sinners can come back to God

"There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them. "Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

Therefore the long trek from Rwanda to Canada might have been too long for Me Evode to spend what he had and he is genuinely playing the prodigal son to come back and ask for forgiveness as he appeared yesterday in most of the Rwandan media. On the other hand Me Evode knows very well how the Media shaped him and made him a movie actor in the legal theater. Indeed, Evode might be playing the same tactics to induce the appetite of the RPF to renewal his contract which is now 3 months away to expire or to get a permanent employment.

RDI members with Evode Uwizeyimana prior to his departure

Whichever way, Evode is playing a cat and mouth game, he is being watched by his game mates and at a right place and time he will never know what will hit him. There is a saying that If you are 50 and you keep reasoning like somebody who is 20, then the 30 years are not only wasted but leaves a lot to be desired. Does Me Evode reflect on the history and may be the path of RPF on the journey of consolidating power? A good example is a testimony of Mr Abdul Ruzibiza on how mistakes by both the Rwandan Government and the RPF led to the Rwandan genocide of 1994. Ruzibiza having narrated in his book Rwanda: L'Histoire Secréte and later tried to retract what he had said both in his book and in the international media like BBC and VOA ,he forgot that he was being watched by his play mates in the Kigali playing field.

Cat Mouse game

No sooner had he played the games of cat and mouse than the co-players on the opposite side had exterminated him, the rest is history. Does Me Evode remember the way he described the entire RPF leadership as "a gang of bandits" who disregard the rule of law? Indeed, he said that it is one of the reasons that made him leave Rwanda when he was a judge. On one occasion in the case of the brother (Rugigana Ngabo) of the former Rwandan army Chief Gen. Kayumba Nyamwasa he described the Rwandan legal system as people who are controlled by the remote control from the President's Office who will only use political reason rather than the legal reason.

RPF establishment knows very well the venom of Me Evode he injected in the Rwandan people which is had to treat, besides the status quo of the violations of Human Rights, lack of judicial independence, extra-judicial killings, suffocation of the media, and incarceration of the political opponents of the regime in Kigali. Despite the rhetoric of repentance by Me Evode, he defiantly defended his opposition to the regime in Kigali, he argued that his position was constructive but he quickly added that if it was not well perceived by (RPF) then he begs forgiveness. This sounds defiance not only to the people who delve into the Hollywood theatrical staged political movies but also to the RPF who knows very well how dangerous people or those perceived to be should be given the dose of eternality. But the History of RPF is clear; it's not necessarily what you do but what you are perceived to be, the likes of Muvunanyambo, one of the soldiers released from the prison during the Ruhengeri attack by the RPF in 1991 or Cpt. Frank Tega one of the RPF comrades were killed not for what they had done but what they were perceived to do.

This is just a tip of iceberg, but as we approach the end of the tenure of the Kagame regime many people will disappear especially those perceived to harbor butterfly colors or those perceived to switch sides like billboards, in fact many political assassinations of many Rwandan politicians like Emmanuel Gapyisi, a prominent political leader from the south and vice president of the MDR party at the time and other selected murders nationwide like businessmen, mayors, parliamentarians, and leading up to the assassination of Gatabazi, Bucyana, and finally President Habyarimana are a vindication of what is waiting for many politicians who not only oppose the RPF regime but those perceived to be potentially capable to give RPF and Kagame a bloody nose in the elections of 2017.

Whether Evode is playing the prodigal son or just opportunistically trying to reap in both fields remains to be seen, but what is clear though, he is being monitored every inch of his movements and Jack Nziza or Dan Munyuza at any given opportunity would they perceive him to be a potential threat he will be dealt in the same way many Rwandans have been dealt with.

[RwandaLibre] Bill Clinton Regrets Rwanda Now (But Not So Much In 1994)

Bill Clinton Regrets Rwanda Now (But Not So Much In 1994)

By Dana Hughes
@dana_hughes
Feb 28, 2014 5:06pm
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images

One of the newly released Clinton Library documents shows an
administration scrambling to answer criticism of its handling of the
1994 genocide in Rwanda -- a tiny African nation where nearly one
million people were killed in the span of less than two months.

The two-page memo from September 1994 -- the genocide was in April and
May of that year -- featured talking points Clinton special assistant
Tara Sonenshine drafted as preparation for an upcoming Washington Post
interview with the president. The memo acknowledged that the interview
was likely to be critical of Clinton's stance on Rwanda, blaming the
failed "Black Hawk Down" intervention in Somalia the year before.

In the memo, Sonenshine suggests the president refute that the U.S.
experience in Somalia hindered his administration's Rwanda response.

"If anything, this is a case where our experiences in Somalia did NOT
prevent us from doing the right thing," said the memo. "If we were
truly spooked by Somalia we would have turned away entirely, instead
of committing 4,000 American troops and spending $500 million to give
the people of Rwanda humanitarian help and a breathing space. We put
Somalia behind us and moved into Rwanda in full force."

The memo also suggests the president argue that the United States took
appropriate and swift action in Rwanda after it was clear there was
genocide, and that the U.S. was one of many countries who authorized
the United Nations to pull out of the country right before the
atrocities began.

In short, says the memo, the U.S. "did the right thing" and shares no
responsibility for allowing the genocide to occur.

Clinton himself echoed these sentiments in comments to the press a few
months earlier where he said he had "done all he could do" to help the
people of Rwanda, pointing out the United States had provided 40
percent of the total aid given to help the refugees from the conflict.

"We have worked on this for months. We are doing the best we can. We
are going to do more," he said.

But in the years since, the former President Clinton has called the
failure to intervene in Rwanda one of his biggest regrets.

"I do feel a lifetime responsibility," he told ABC in 2008, while on a
trip to the country. "I feel like a lot of people ... had something to
do with it."

In March 2013 Clinton again talked Rwanda, when he told CNBC that he
believes had the U.S. intervened, even marginally, at the beginning of
the genocide at least 300,000 people might have been saved.

-“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.”

-« Ce dont j’ai le plus peur, c’est des gens qui croient que, du jour au lendemain, on peut prendre une société, lui tordre le cou et en faire une autre ».

-“The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.”

-“I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.”

-“The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
