PRESS RELEASE:

 CORMSA VS THE PRESIDENT OF RSA AND GENERAL KAYUMBA NYAMWASA & OTHERS

On this day the 26^th/09/2014 the Pretoria High Court in Pretoria dismissed the application brought by CORMSA (Consortium for Refugees and migrants in South Africa) against the Government of South Africa and General Kayumba Nyamwasa as baseless and unfounded and with costs.

The application was found to be baseless and unfounded, but informed by false allegations that Gen Kayumba committed crimes which they failed to prove to the Judge as they alleged.

The Judge further found that the Rwandan military court's decision of guilty in absentia to be irrelevant and cannot be relied on or be taken serious.

The Judge found that the indictment by both French and Spanish courts on allegations of war crimes, to be unsubstantiated and to be mere allegations and therefore no reasonable grounds that he must be extradited to those respective countries or to be excluded as a political refugee.

The Judge found that there was no reason for exclusion as a refugee in terms of both South African law specifically Sec 4 of the refugees Act 1998 and under UN Convention of 1951 read together with the OAU Convention of 1969 and its protocol on refugees.

The Judge found that the South African Government did consider all the allegations and indeed correctly found that there was no reason to believe that Gen Kayumba Nyamwasa committed these crimes in the absence of any evidence to that effect.

The Court noted the following in its Judgment;

1.      That General Kayumba's life was in danger and that there was no dispute about it, since his fallout with General Kagame President of Rwanda and became his political opponent.

2.      That there where many attempts on his life by the Govt of Rwanda.

3.      That the Government of South Africa was aware of the allegations and considered them,

4.      That  the indictment by French Judge Bruguiere was declared by new investigative Judges Trevidic and Nathalia Poux to be false.

5.      That this court could not consider the Spanish indictment because it was based on Judge Bruguiere's findings which were found to be false.

6.      That General Kayumba was correctly granted political refugee by South African Government in terms of both national and international law.

Therefore, the court dismissed the application with costs.

Rwanda Day: Black faces of empire

"In this case African governments have a few million ripped from the hide of their suffering people to spend on PR, you know. And the Black political class wants a cut of that." – Bruce Dixon

Transcript

KPFA Evening News Anchor Cameron Jones: The City of Atlanta hosted the fourth international Rwanda Day today, at the Georgia International Convention Center. Rwanda Day celebrations were held in Chicago in 2011, Boston and London in 2012, and Toronto in 2013.

Bruce Dixon

Rwandan and Congolese exiles and refugees have appeared to protest each time, as they did again today. Rwanda's sizable public relations apparatus bills Rwanda Day as a celebration of Rwandan culture and recovery from the 1994 Rwandan Genocide and a chance to invest in Rwanda, which means, in large part, investing in Rwanda's illegal trade in the resource riches of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Bruce Dixon, Atlanta resident and managing editor of the Black Agenda Report, attended the protest and produced a flyer stating that "Rwanda's Paul Kagame did NOT end a genocide in 1994. He brought the genocide with him and then brought it to Congo." KPFA's Ann Garrison spoke with Bruce Dixon.

KPFA/Ann Garrison: Bruce, I know that Atlanta has one of the highest concentrations of both Black Americans and Black immigrants from Africa and the Caribbean and that today's protest was organized by both Friends of the Congo and The Committee for the Unity of Black Immigrants and Americans. Could you talk about how you discussed this with these various African communities who might not know the recent history of Rwanda.

Bruce Dixon: Somebody needs to explain to folks what's going on when you've got a thing here from the government of Rwanda, and why should we be suspicious when the Black Caucus or the mayor opens his doors and invites African dignitaries in – and with supposedly representatives of the do-gooder organizations here in the United States there at the same table.

What's really happening here? Is it sweetness and light and acknowledgement of our African heritage? Is that what's going on? Or is there something sinister going on? And how do we explain that? So, this has been an interesting series of lessons and I'm going to try to address some of that in the piece that I'm doing.

Bruce Dixon, Atlanta resident and managing editor of the Black Agenda Report, attended the protest and produced a flyer stating that "Rwanda's Paul Kagame did NOT end a genocide in 1994. He brought the genocide with him and then brought it to Congo."

What are the ties here between our Black political class and the representatives of African states who are here? And what do those ties mean? In this case, African governments have a few million ripped from the hide of their suffering people to spend in PR, you know. And the Black political class wants a cut of that. They want to do that.

And then of course you've got the examples of people like Jendayi Fraser and Susan Rice and that whole core. And I've never heard Susan Rice speak to Black people, but I do know that some of the people in academia who are here at Georgia State University and Emory, they'll go around and mumble words about Pan Africanism, while they try to get a contract with the DRC government or the Kenyan or Ugandan or Rwandan government.

Sign held aloft outside Rwanda Day in London, 2012

And then they'll turn around to Black Americans and the Africans and mumble some BLEEP! about Pan-Africanism and the good of the motherland and how they're serving all this kind of bull-BLEEP!

KPFA: They're trying to get PR contracts?

Bruce Dixon: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're trying to get PR contracts.

KPFA: What about the need to put Black faces on corporate resource interests in Africa?

Bruce Dixon: These are multinational companies here that are doing business. When the affirmative action thing was up before Congress and Republicans were marshaling their forces against it, then what happened was the Pentagon came forward and lots of Fortune 500 corporations came forward.

And the Pentagon says: "Wait, wait, wait, wait, we need high ranking, well-educated, accomplished Blacks and Latinos to front for what we're doing here, for our long term plans. We can't be an all-white military and carry on what we've got to carry on in Africa."

And the companies said: "Wait, wait, wait, wait, there's emerging markets here that we want to control and African and Latin American and Asian governments that we've got to deal with. We can't look like we're all white. We can't do that. We've got to have Black faces. And it's important to our long term survival and viability."

This is an empire, you know. This is an empire, and the empire needs Black faces representing it.

KPFA: And that was Bruce Dixon, managing editor of the Black Agenda Report. His essay on Rwanda Day in Atlanta will appear later this week in the Black Agenda Report. The flyer he created for the event is included in "Kagame started the genocide in Rwanda, then Congo," a statement signed by Rwandans and Congolese in Africa, Europe, and the U.S. and published on the website of the San Francisco Bay View, sfbayview.com.
