Prevent the the cessation of refugee status for Rwandans fearing return

http://www.avaaz.org/en/petition/Prevent_the_invocation_of_the_Cessation_Cause_for_Rwandan_refugees/?eEobOdb Prevent the the cessation of refugee status for Rwandans fearing return   Why this is important   In July 2013, UNHCR plans to invoke the Cessation Clause for Rwandan refugees who fled events occurring in the country between 1959 and 1998. If states follow this recommendation, international protection of those refugees who fled Rwanda during this period will end. The guidelines surrounding the Cessation Clause state that it should only be invoked when fundamental, durable and positive changes have taken place that mean that a well founded fear of persecution no longer exist in a particular country. Invoking the Cessation Clause thus suggests that reasons for being a refugee have ceased to exist in Rwanda. However in stating that those who fled after 1998 still have a well founded fear of persecution, UNHCR contradicts the idea that real changes have occurred in Rwanda, instead demonstrating that it is not a safe country.   Posted December 17, 2012   Created by: Fahamu Refugee P.

http://www.inyenyerinews.org/politiki/kagame-threatens-to-return-to-the-bush/   Kagame Threatens to Return to the Bush December 21, 2012 By Rwema IT Webmaster 2 Comments Rwandan President Paul Kagame has threatened to return to the bush if the rights and dignity of the Rwandan people continue to be disrespected. "We are still the same people who went to the trenches and can still go back to protect our people." President Kagame said this while presiding over the national celebrations for the Silver Jubilee anniversary of the ruling Rwanda Patriotic Front party, a liberation movement that was formed in in Uganda in 1987. President Kagame, a military general who fought in the liberation wars of Uganda and Rwanda and known for his scathing attacks on especially undue western influence on his country, added Rwandans were fully prepared to defend their gains. "We will defend our unity and build on the solid foundations laid by the RPF to move forward," he added in a brief speech delivered in Kinyarwanda but printed out in English for the 30,000 celebrants. The celebrations which took place at Amahoro Stadium in Kigali were attended by high profile dignitaries who included President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda and the wife of the late Tanzanian President Mwalimu Julius Nyerere. "Today is an important day in our history as we celebrate the Silver Jubilee of the Rwandese Patriotic Front, and I am pleased to share it with you. I extend a special welcome to President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, as well as friends and delegations from fraternal political organisations from across the world that are here with us to mark this historic occasion," Kagame said to Museveni whose country was known to have strongly backed his rebel movement that took the reigns of power in Kigali in 1994. Kagame, who grew up in Uganda, further lifted what is probably the last lid on his struggle's connection with the Ugandan revolution, thanking in particular the Ugandan president for standing by Rwandans. "Some individuals understood our problem and supported us. A person like President Museveni played a major role," Kagame said in the official silver jubilee magazine 'RPF Inkotanyi 1987-2012′ that was freely distributed out during his speech. While acknowledging that the RPF has come this far because of the dedication and sacrifice of many of its leaders and cadres, the president paid particular tribute to the many patriots who laid down their lives so that today Rwandans can enjoy liberty and lead dignified lives. "In particular I wish to single out the founding chairman of the RPF, Major General Fred Gisa Rwigema, Colonel Alexis Kanyarengwe, Major Peter Bayingana, Aloysia Inyumba and Rutabayiru Modeste. I also wish to acknowledge others still with us today whose dedication to their nation and to the ideals and goals of the RPF have contributed immensely to our ongoing struggle, " he said listing those as being: Tito Rutaremara, Mugengana Bosco, Protais Musoni, Rugogwe Innocent, Michael Rugema, Bwitare Eulade, Joseph Karemera, Rumongi, Zeno Mutimura, Karenzi Theoneste, and Connie Akayezu. This list is by no means exhaustive, and we owe our eternal gratitude to all those who have been an indispensable part of the RPF from the start. Kagame went through a brief history of The formation of RPF revealing is precursors as Rwandese Alliance for National Unity (RANU) and the Rwandese Refugees Welfare Foundation (RRWF) "But these were largely fragmented. In December1987, Rwandans living in this region and some from farther afield, imbued with a vision for a free, just and democratic country, convened a meeting to consolidate and breathe new life into these earlier efforts." He said In its very first congress, the Rwandese Patriotic Front was formed to correct the effects of several decades of misrule and restore respect for the sanctity of life as well as reinstate full citizenship to all Rwandans, including those exiled in neighbouring countries adding that The RPF was always driven by the desire to reunite a fractured country and build a nation in which all Rwandans could live in dignity and freedom. He revealed that Under the leadership of the RPF, Rwandans have built a unified nation and, through citizen participation, have succeeded in laying a strong foundation for the country, so that it gains its rightful place. "The RPF has, and will always, follow that ideological line which places country, institutions and systems above any individual or other interests. This ideology fosters open debate and continuous dialogue, embracing divergent ideas from all members and sections of the society towards consensus and a shared vision," he said. He added that at 25, the RPF is as old as a generation and that people born around the time it was formed are now adults who who must be prepared to take the country forward. "This generation, the youth of RPF and Rwanda, must now be prepared to assume their responsibility and take our country to the next level. The foundation for true transformation has been laid and the opportunity to build on it must be seized. The highlight of the event was when a delegation from the National Resistance Movement of Uganda was introduced twice as being a friendly political organization of the RPF but at same time being the real RPF-Uganda chapter

http://www.digitalcongo.net/article/88667   Le secret de la longévité de Kagame au pouvoir dévoilé par son ancien Premier ministre Kinshasa, 21/12/2012 / Politique « Le gouvernement rwandais dépense des millions pour acheter son pouvoir. Des millions non pas pour corrompre mais pour payer les lobbies », affirme Faustin Twagiramungu, le Premier ministre du premier gouvernement post- génocide du Rwanda. Le coup de fil du patron de la Maison Blanche Barack Obama demandant à Paul Kagame de cesser tout soutien aux rebelles du M23 qui sème la désolation en République démocratique du Congo suscite des commentaires, notamment dans les milieux d'anciens dirigeants rwandais qui connaissent le système mis en place par l'homme fort de Kigali pour pérenniser son pouvoir. La réaction la plus significative est celle de Faustin Twagiramungu, le Premier ministre du premier gouvernement post-génocide du Rwanda. Depuis la Belgique où il vit en exil, M. Twagiramungu estime que le fait que le président Obama ait personnellement appelé Kagame est un signe que l'administration américaine ne peut plus accepter ce qui se passe en RDC. « Cet appel est significatif parce qu'il appartient à Kagame aujourd'hui de répondre. Ou je ne m'exécute pas ou  je retire mon  soutien aux membres  du M23. S'il persistait dans son mensonge, car il s'agit de mensonges ici, il est évident que les Etats-Unis et les autres pays réagiront en conséquence. », a indiqué Faustin Twagiramungu au micro de BBC.   A la question de savoir si cette initiative d'Obama est sincère ou c'est de la comédie pour distraire la communauté internationale parce que les Etats-Unis sont un allier du Rwanda, Twagiramungu affirme que « ça ne peut pas être une comédie parce que depuis bientôt trois mois, il y a des organisations de défense des droits de l'homme qui se plaignent de ce qui se passe au Congo.  Les Congolais ont eu plus de morts que les Rwandais. Cinq millions de Congolais sont morts à cause des guerres continuelles  menées par le Rwanda tous les mois. Ce coup de  fil du président Obama, Kagame devait y réagir positivement. S'il réagi négativement, il doit s'attendre à des conséquences qui pourraient peut-être mettre son pouvoir en danger ».   Prié de dire pourquoi, il a fallu beaucoup de temps aux USA pour prendre ses distances par rapport à ce régime qui est en place depuis 18 ans, l'ancien Premier ministre rwandais explique qu'Il y a eu des décideurs au niveau du gouvernement, mais il y a eu aussi des lobbies. « J'ai travaillé dans ce système, je crois que le gouvernement rwandais dépense des millions pour acheter son pouvoir. Des millions non pas pour corrompre mais pour payer les lobbies », précise t-il. On comprend pourquoi, Paul Kagame peut dormir tranquille sur ses deux lauriers quand son armée envahit le Congo et y perpétue de massacres, tue les enfants innocents, viole les femmes, brûle des villages entiers, pille les richesses de notre sous-sol. Grâce à l'efficacité des lobbies pro rwandais qui ont des ramifications dans les instances internationales et auprès des puissants du monde, l'homme fort de Kigali peut tout se permettre. Les experts de l'ONU en savent quelque chose eux dont le rapport pourtant fourni et bien documenté sur l'implication du Rwanda dans la situation dramatique de l'Est n'a donné lieu à aucune sanction. Une certaine Susan Rice, dont les accointances avec le régime de Kigali sont connues, s'est opposé à toute sanction contre le Rwanda sans état d'âme alors qu'elle pouvait être à la place de ses milliers de femmes victimes au quotidien de viols et violence de la soldatesque de son protégé.

http://www.inyenyerinews.org/amahanga-2/stop-donating-to-west-president/   Stop Donating to West – President December 21, 2012 By Rwema IT Webmaster Leave a Comment Kigali — In a call to Rwandan counterparts to develop their industrial sector and export processed products, President Yoweri Museveni has urged Rwanda and other African countries to stop "donating" their wealth to the West. In his key note speech at a dinner hosted in his favour as chief guest to mark the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) at Serena Kigali hotel last evening, Museveni stressed that by exporting unprocessed products, Rwanda and other countries "donate" a lot of wealth to the West. "We should stop being donors. Lack of industrialization and selling of unprocessed products coupled with a small internal market makes us one of the biggest donors," he said to applause from the delegates gathered to celebrate the country's liberation from the genocidal regime RPF ousted. "A small internal market linked with production of the same products means we cannot develop these economies with lack of industrialization and selling of unprocessed products. We should stop being donors," he emphasised. Among other bottlenecks to Africa's development, he listed an underdeveloped services sector, un-commercialized agricultural sector, and lack of democracy. Museveni who began his speech in Kinyarwanda congratulated RPF on their 25th anniversary, saying they turned a very hopeless situation into a situation of hope. "Whenever I came here after we had captured Kabale in 1985 fighting for our freedom. leaders of Rwanda were telling me that Rwandese are too many and cannot fit in the country so some should be taken to Gabon. But now I am glad to hear a different tune from Kigali. That's what I used to tell late Juvenal Habyarimana that how come Holland the same size as Rwanda with 16 million Dutch can fit and Rwanda 7million people cannot?" he asked. He dismissed as "mere hallucinations" propaganda that African people are of different castes and cannot live together. "This is something I rejected long ago. Africans are divided into four groups ; the Niger-Congo group of Langi, the Nile-Saharan group of Northern Uganda and parts of Kenya, South Sudan and Ethiopia, the Afro-Asiatic Amharic group and Koisan or Bushmen of South Africa," he said. These tribes, he added, are interlinked linguistically and culturally. "I rejected the idea that African people are so divided that they have no linkages; this is rubbish and has no truth. The only problem is that these groups were not governed together and we had these small Kingdoms. It is that lack of being governed together that caused this aberration that we are different yet we are not," he stressed. Other strategic bottlenecks to Africa's unity and development, he added, are ideological disorientation which makes people think tribal. "In Uganda I am a Munyankore but what is my real interest as an individual? Prosperity to live a nice life. How will my Banyankore help me when they also rear cattle and can't buy milk from me or me from them?" he asked. He said tribes are interdependent on each other since he sells his milk in Kampala to all Ugandans just like Ugandans had flocked to Rwanda for economic opportunities that are not enough in Uganda, there is need to discourage sectarianism. He urged other countries like Kenya and Nigeria plagued by religious and tribal sectarianism to think harder about the issue. Africa's independence , he added was delayed, hence delay in stat e formation like in Somalia, DRC where the army, Police and civil service are still not developed. "Because of this ideological disorientation, where will you get the cadres to for example build an army which is an expensive enterprise?" he asked. Other weaknesses he listed are attacking the private sector like Idi Amin's expulsion of Indians yet they were buttressing the economy, and contributing to GDP and GNP and wondered why same size countries like South Korea and China should be richer that Uganda, Kenya or Tanzania. Other bottle necks he catalogued are an underdeveloped Human Resource, inadequate infrastructure, power underdeveloped service and agriculture industry and lack of democracy. In his remarks, President Paul Kagame bestowed upon Museveni the Honorary membership of an RPF mentor. "We say this with sense of having been connected to the struggle for the liberation of Uganda," he said. He called for greater unity, collaboration and solidarity within African people in order to command respect from other nations of the world and to create conditions for social economic development of their peoples. "We owe it to our people and cannot afford to fail because we set ourselves the task to deliver to the expectations of the people are we are ready to work to achieve this success and solidarity. The RPF marks its Silver Jubilee today and President Museveni will be the guest of honour.
