Rwanda's dangerous diplomatic missions as staging grounds for criminal activity
By Theogene Rudasingwa | Pambazuka News | June 12, 2014
President Paul Kagame's 20 year reign of terror is characterised by a
distorted and deceptive narrative that he saved Tutsi from genocide
perpetrated by Hutu; over-reliance on violence and war-making
nationally and regionally; 'Tutsi-fication' of the leadership of the
military while eliminating real and potential competitors;
transformation of the ruling Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) into a
rubber stamp to enforce his will while eliminating real or perceived
contenders to power; usurping legislative, executive and judiciary
powers; closure of political space for political parties, civil
society, independent media and intellectual activity; personal control
of a financial empire that is spread across public and private
sectors; and, a mindset of a serial killer and mass murderer who
relentlessly acts with impunity.
It is out of this anti-people, sectarian and anti-democratic domestic
policy that Kagame's dangerous foreign policy is derived,
characterized by belligerence, aggression, war-making and plunder in
the Great Lakes region; blackmail, grand deception and intimidation
that preys on international guilt from failure to prevent or stop the
1994 genocide; an anti-African posture masquerading behind
pan-Africanist language; and above all, an immoral foreign policy,
founded on the premise that opponents, whether heads of state or
ordinary citizens, must die or be jailed.
The Kagame doctrine is not simply wrong. It is anti-Rwandan,
militaristic, deceptive, predatory, belligerent, anti-African and
immoral. In short, it is dangerous for Rwanda, the Great Lakes region,
Africa and the international community.
This predatory and highly criminalised foreign policy is executed
through its embassies abroad: Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa,
Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Senegal, DRC, Nigeria, Belgium, Germany, The
Netherlands, United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland, France, Canada,
China, India, Japan, USA, United Nations, South Korea, Singapore,
Russia, Turkey, and multiple consulates.
Kagame and about a dozen Tutsi military officers, all former refugees
in Uganda, preside over this global criminal enterprise to assassinate
opponents. Over the last twenty years, agents of the criminalised
Rwandan state have struck terror in the Democratic Republic of Congo
and Rwanda, killing millions of Congolese and Rwandans. His assassins
have struck in Kigali, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Kampala, Bujumbura,
Maputo, Johannesburg, West Africa, Kinshasa, London, Brussels, and
Stockholm. Victims of this criminal crusade include Heads of State,
opposition politicians, human rights activists, journalists and
ordinary Rwandan citizens. According to Kigali sources, confirmed by a
number of foreign security agencies, Kagame is poised for even more
daring criminal moves in the heart of the United States, Canada, and
the rest of the world, as he intensifies hiring assassins from
far-flung areas of eastern Europe and the Middle East.
To do that, he is directly or indirectly enabled by money accumulated
from the state treasury, his companies Crystal Ventures and Horizon
Group, and aid mainly from generous benefactors like the World Bank,
IMF, European Union, United States and United Kingdom governments. He
is enabled by the rich and powerful in the West, notably former U.S.
President, Bill Clinton, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair,
American Pastor Rick Warren, Jewish Rabbi Shmuley Boteach and scores
of western consultants making money from Rwanda's, and the region's,
open veins. In Africa, his principal backer and co-accused in regional
adventures is President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda.
Rwanda's embassies abroad have become the staging grounds for criminal
activity. In addition to so-called military attachés and secretaries,
officially accredited as diplomats, there are many other agents
deployed informally to hunt down, intimidate, divide, corrupt, and
assassinate Rwandans. Non-Rwandans critical to Kigali's domestic and
foreign policies have occasionally been victims, and will increasingly
be targeted according to Kagame's new desperate directives.
Rwandans must get more united, mobilised and organised to stop these
murderous schemes once and for all, through a regime change that must
allow sustainable societal transformation to take place.
The international community can no longer claim not to know the depth
and extent of criminal activities by Kagame's regime. The
international community may choose to remain silent, insensitive and
frozen in inertia as in the past.
Alternatively, we urge Africans and the rest of the world community to
support Rwanda's struggle for freedom, human rights, democracy,
justice for all, genuine unity and reconciliation, healing, peace and
prosperity for all Rwandans and the Great Lakes region.
