Of course I don't mind if you would "correct" mistakes that I possibly made.
I DO have (much) information that shows that: 1) The RPF (controlled) by Paul Kagame played an important part in orchestrating the Rwanda genocide. 2) The RPF were supported by the US and UN and installed as a proxy government.
3) The RPF has locked up and assassinated whistleblowers of the crimes against humanity by the RPF. 4) The RPF was also instrumental in kickstarting Africa’s World War (1998-2003) in which an estimated 5 million people died in Congo alone.

While the official story still reads that there is “no evidence that the RPF” shot down Habyarimana’s jet, several former close associates of dictator Paul Kagame, despite the threat of being killed, have testified in detail that the RPF was responsible. These associates include former Rwandan Army Chief of Staff Kayumba Nyamwasa, who has survived several attempts on his life, and former chief of staff to Kagame and former ambassador to the US Theogene Rudasingwa.
Both French Judge Jean-Louis Bruguière and Spanish Judge Fernando Andreu Merelles concluded that the RPF shot down the plane with President Habyarimana. Judges Bruguière and Merelles also separately brought charges against the RPF, which the ICTR has never done: https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-international-criminal-tribunal-for-rwanda-ictr-is-a-british-american-creature-to-support-paul-kagames-dictatorship/5425437
In 1994, the UN Security Council established the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) to “investigate” crimes committed during the genocide. Its investigators amassed evidence of atrocities committed by both sides. In 1997, the ICTR’s chief prosecutor, Louise Arbour, shut down all investigations of RPF crimes and continued to pursue only those committed by Hutu extremists. In 2016, Arbour explained that the Michael Hourigan investigation of the RPF was stopped because of a lack of capacity and that it was “very dangerous” to investigate the RPF…
In 1999, Arbour set up a Special Investigation Unit (SIU) to collect evidence about RPF crimes. Its report was leaked to Judi Rever, who wrote about this in her book “In Praise of Blood: The Crimes of the Rwandan Patriotic Front” (2018). During, and after the 1994 Rwandan genocide, Paul Kagame’s Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) killed at least tens of thousands of innocent Hutus, which really is a “parallel genocide”.
In January 1993, the RPF took an international team of human rights investigators on a tour of RPF-held areas in northern Rwanda after which they reported that the Rwandan government was to blame for virtually all the violence.
Rever interviewed RPF defectors, who told her that the RPF intimidated, abducted, or murdered witnesses of their crimes and then incinerated or buried them in tightly guarded encampments, off-limits to human rights investigators. The RPF even killed witnesses in foreign countries, like interior minister in the post-genocide “national unity” government Seth Sendashonga, who was gunned down in Nairobi in 1998, or former RPF spy chief Patrick Karegeya, strangled in Johannesburg in 2014. According to an RPF defector, in 1997 Kagame’s hit men killed 4 UN observers, 3 Spanish and a Canadian priest, who were collecting evidence of RPF crimes.
In 1997, the RPF barred Amnesty International investigators from inspecting caves where fleeing Hutus had been massacred. Based on interviews with local witnesses, it’s estimated that they probably contained five to eight thousand bodies.
In 1996 the RPF, invaded Zairian refugee camps and brought back the (mostly) Hutus to Rwanda. Many of the hundreds of thousands that fled into Zaire instead were tracked down by the RPF and killed. In May 1997, the RPF, Ugandan army, along with the AFDL, took over Mobutu’s Zaire and renamed it the Democratic Republic of Congo. After a brief hiatus, the Congo war resumed in 1998 and has claimed at least a million lives.
In July 1994, 200 US Special Forces began training the RPF in marksmanship, navigation, small unit management, and other techniques that would soon be used to kill fleeing Hutu refugees in Zaire. The US also gave the RPF intelligence on the strength and positions of Zaire’s army. In 1995, when Rwanda was under an arms embargo, the Clinton administration began transferring military equipment to Uganda, Eritrea, and Ethiopia. Some of the tanks, grenades, and other light weapons were used to slaughter Hutus and take over Zaire: https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2018/06/28/rwanda-deathly-hush/ (http://archive.is/CvM40)
Here’s the first part of the previous article: http://web.archive.org/web/20180702101315/https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2018/06/07/rwanda-mass-murder-we-dont-talk-about/

It looks like Kagame and the RPF, with Washington’s support, bear the greatest responsibility for the massive death toll from April to July 1994. It is certain that hundreds of thousands of Hutus also died during this period, mostly at the hands of the Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA) commanded by Kagame. Some analysts, like Christian Davenport and Allan C. Stam, have claimed that even more Hutus than Tutsis died in this period.
The dictatorial RPF regime in Rwanda actually contained several Hutu ministers. The RPF recruited Hutu leaders including: Col. Alexis Kanyarengwe, who was installed as chairman of the movement; and Seth Sendashonga, who had left Rwanda because of dissatisfaction with Habyarimana’s politics, and served as liaison between the RPF and political opposition parties in Rwanda.
Between 1990 and 1993, RPF soldiers killed and abducted civilians and pillaged property in north-eastern Rwanda. They also attacked a hospital and displaced persons’ camps. The RPF massacred groups of unarmed civilians in eastern, central, and southern Rwanda after government forces had left the area, in clear violations of international humanitarian law.
On 20 April 1995, after Paul Kagame had ordered the massacre, 2 RPA battalions surrounded the camp in Kibeho, and stopped all food and water. On 22 April 1995, the RPA opened fire. The next morning, the Australian Medical Corps counted 4,200 bodies before they were stopped. The Rwandan government claimed that the RPA battalions were merely defending themselves, and that only 338 were killed.
An estimated 2 million Rwandans (many of them Hutus) fled after the RPF took dictatorial control of Rwanda. Most of them went to Zaire, where they were chased by the RPA. The population of the Mugunga camp rose to 800,000, making it the world’s largest refugee camp at the time. After the international media had been expelled, on 13 November 1996, the major assault by the RPA (with the help of the Zairian AFDL) started. There are no reliable figures on the number of casualties. Many refugees were driven back to Rwanda, while hundreds of thousands fled into the surrounding forests; pursued by the RPA/AFDL who shot or bludgeoned them to death if they caught them.
On 2 March 1997, 150,000 refugees at the Tingi-Tingi camp they were fired on with mortars and machine guns. Survivors fled west in Zaire or to the Central African Republic, Gabon, and Congo-Brazzaville. They were again chased, and if found brutally murdered.
On 8 August 1997, the RPA moved into the Mahoko market and opened fire. Thousands fled to the caves in the mountainous commune of Kanama. The army massacred them by throwing grenades into the caves. Amnesty International wrote that a couple of hundred had died at the Mahoko market, and 5,000 to 8,000 were massacred in the Kanama caves.
In mid-1997, Kagame’s Rwandan government proclaimed its refugee problem settled. French historian Gérard Prunier with president of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, Sakado Ogato, estimated the Rwandan refugee death toll at 213,000 to 280,000.
Since July 1994, everyone lived in fear of being accused of being a génocidaire. Rwanda’s prison population soared, from 1,000 in July 1994, to over 100,000 by 1997, many of them innocent. In October 1994, senior judge in Kigali, Gratien Ruhorahoza, tried to free 40 prisoners without files. Ruhorahoza was murdered. When 26 magistrates tried to free innocent prisoners, they were arrested and charged as génocidaires. Carina Tertsakian, formerly for Human Rights Watch in Rwanda, wrote that between September 1994 and May 1995, 13% of Rwanda’s prison population died, which is “unparalleled in any part of the world”.
Kagame’s death squads have pursued his opponents across the world. His best-known victims include: Théoniste Lizinde (1996) and Sendashonga (1998) in Kenya; Théogène Turatsinze (2012) in Mozambique; and Patrick Karageya (2013) in South Africa. A South African magistrate stated that 4 suspects in Karageya’s murder are “directly linked to the Rwandan government”. He also accused the Rwandan government of attempts on the life of the exiled former Rwandan army chief of staff, General Kayumba Nyamwasa.
Victoria Ingabire Umuhoza is the latest major challenger to Kagame. In 2010, she returned from exile in the Netherlands and formed the Permanent Consultative Council of Opposition Parties. Umuhoza criticised that the Gisozi Genocide Memorial Centre didn't acknowledge the Hutus that also died during the genocide and stressed that those who committed genocide or other war crimes and crimes against humanity should be brought before the courts of justice. This challenge to the official genocide narrative resulted in an eight-year prison sentence for “conspiracy against the country through terrorism and war” and “genocide denial”. In December 2013, the Rwandan Supreme Court increased her sentence to 15 years. Umuhoza was released in September 2018, after President Kagame exercised his prerogative of “mercy”. Since then she has been interrogated 2 to 3 days per week by the cops, and the Rwandan state media have since referred to here as “a convicted criminal who was never rehabilitated”: https://www.spiked-online.com/2019/05/03/rwanda-25-years-on/ (http://archive.is/Tt2Ov)
Judi Rever wrote about the crimes of the RPF since 1997, in “In praise of blood: The crimes of the Rwandan Patriotic Front” (2018):
--- Quote ---In areas seized by the RPF or already under its control, its soldiers and intelligence agents worked with similar ethnic zeal, but they were more discreet: they cordoned off areas and killed Hutus secretly, with great precision. They operated mobile death squads, massacring Hutus in their villages. They brought large groups of Hutus to areas where NGOs and the UN agencies were not permitted to go. Under the cover of night, they transported displaced Hutus by truck, killed them, and burned their bodies with gasoline and gas oil. These atrocities took place mainly near Gabiro, a military training barracks in Rwanda’s Akagera National Park. Portions of the park became outdoor crematoriums, and human ashes were spread in its lakes. It was mass murder leaving barely a trace. --- End quote ---
See Bill Clinton and "Our Kind of Guy" (in Bill’s words) Paul Kagame.
Bill Clinton, who was US president when the genocide was orchestrated, has hailed Paul Kagame as “one of the greatest leaders of our time”, while the Clinton Foundation awarded him its Global Citizen prize: https://www.blackagendareport.com/praise-blood-crimes-rwandan-patriotic-front-0 (http://archive.is/7mMW7)

In our Brave New World, it are always the victors that sentence the losers for “war crimes”. This makes our whole justice system a charade, but not always is this as obvious as in the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) show trials. If the genocide, which started practically immediately when Habyarimana was killed, was planned in advance, this could only have been done by the same group that planned to bring down Habyarimana’s plane.
According to the ICTR, bringing down President Juvénal Habyarimana’s plane on 6 April 1994 was really the start of the genocide. Then instead of finding that, as Paul Kagame’s Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) was behind this attack, (the backers of), the RPF had orchestrated the Rwandan genocide, they simply ignored the evidence and blamed the extremist Hutus…
A confidential ICTR document, labelled Top Secret, is a summary of crimes committed by the RPF. This included testimony on the plane attack, which indicates that RPF leaders, including Kagame, held meetings to prepare the attack on Habyarimana’s plane, that the team in charge of the missiles was created and trained in Uganda, and the missiles were brought to the RPF headquarters in northern Rwanda before being transported to a farm in Masaka (an area in the capital controlled by the RPF).
In 2014, one of Kagame’s former bodyguards, Emile Gafirita, had agreed to testify that the RPF shot down the plane. In 2009, Gafirita broke with the RPF regime, fled to Uganda and in 2014 was hiding in Kenya. On 13 November 2014, shortly after ICTR Judge Trévidic had identified Gafirita as a future witness, he was kidnapped in Nairobi by a group of armed men and never seen again. Silenced forever.
Théoneste Lizinde, who has probably helped Kagame plan the plane attack, was also killed in Kenya in 1996 after he fell out with the RPF. Eric Léandre Ndayire, an RPF cadre who testified in 2005, was killed in 2007 after being kidnapped in Uganda.
Judi Rever told a lawyer that had worked for the ICTR prosecutor that she had read confidential ICTR documents on the crimes by the RPF. This lawyer admitted to know about: the systematic killings of Hutus by RPF death squads, the mass graves, the burning of bodies in Akagera Park, and the methods of concealment.
RPF commandos had infiltrated Hutu militias and were involved in killing Tutsis: http://archive.is/QiM03
Obviously one of the star witnesses for the ICTR show trials was the Canadian, UN-supporter of the RPF, Roméo Dallaire, who was present at the discussions of the Hutu crisis committee that was formed after Habyarimana's death, and even asked for advice and help to involve the RPF in stopping the massacre. The evidence against the people sentenced for the genocide, consisted mostly (or only) of witness testimonies (of course deals were made with these witnesses for lower punishment for their own involvement).
At the time, Prime Minister Agathe Uwilingiyimana would (legally) become president of Rwanda. UNAMIR, controlled by Dallaire, sent an escort of 10 Belgian soldiers to “protect” Uwilingiyimana. Later in the morning, soldiers and a crowd of civilians captured and killed Uwilingiyimana, her husband and the Belgian soldiers (dead men tell no tales). Major Bernard Ntuyahaga, commanding officer of the Presidential Guard unit, was sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment by a court in Belgium in 2007 for these murders. The night of 6–7 April, other prominent politicians and journalists were killed around Kigali, including President of the Constitutional Court Joseph Kavaruganda, Minister of Agriculture Frederic Nzamurambaho, Parti Liberal leader Landoald Ndasingwa and chief Arusha negotiator Boniface Ngulinzira.
The crisis committee formed on the evening of 6 April, consisted of Colonel Théoneste Bagosora (head of the committee), Major General Augustin Ndindiliyimana, Tharcisse Renzaho and a number of other senior army staff officers couldn’t that control of Rwanda and was blamed (and sentenced) for coordinating the genocide.
December 2008, the ICTR convicted 3 senior officers of the Rwandan army in 1994: Colonel Théoneste Bagosora; Major Aloys Ntabakuze; and Colonel Anatole Nsengiyumva to life imprisonment for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes for their role in the Rwanda genocide. All 3 were acquitted of conspiring to commit genocide before 7 April 1994. The ICTR also acquitted General Gratien Kabiligi and ordered his release.
In December 2008, the ICTR convicted Theoneste Bagosora for genocide and crimes against humanity, but only for the 3 days of 7 to 9 April 1994, to life in prison. Bagosora was trained in Belgium and France. Bagosora has subsequently been labelled the mastermind of the genocide, but how could he have “planned” anything (if he wasn’t responsible for shooting down Habyarimana’s plane)?!? In 2011, his sentence in appeal was reduced to 35 years' imprisonment.
Jean Kambanda was convicted on his “confession”, was sworn in as PM of the interim government on 9 April 1994. Once again it isn’t clear what he could have “planned”?!? The prosecutor’s office of the ICTR has admitted that it had concealed from the judges the true nature of Kambanda’s confession (because they didn’t want him exposing the RPF?).
In 14 February 1997, Froduald Karamira was one of the first to be sentenced to death by the Rwandan courts. He was executed on 24 April 1998 (silenced forever).
The Rwandan Gacaca court that sentenced genocide suspects until being closed down in June 2012, handled 1,958,714 cases involving 1,003,227 individuals, the vast majority were found guilty. According to case statistics, 1,320,634 (67.5%) of them were sentenced for looting and destruction of property. 577,528 cases (29%) were tried for murder and physical violence. The acquittal rate, 37%, was much higher than for property theft (4%). 60,552 cases (3.5%) were tried as organisers, authorities and perpetrators of sexual violence, with a 12% acquittal rate: https://historicaldialogues.org/2019/05/04/rwanda-the-most-judged-genocide-in-history/ (http://archive.is/cHnNy)
In 2002, trials of the ICTR grounded to a halt because witnesses refused to travel from Rwanda to give evidence at the hearings in Arusha, Tanzania. The tribunal's chief prosecutor at the time, Carla del Ponte, told the UN Security Council that the witnesses weren’t willing to testify, because the Rwandan government blocked cooperation with the court, after her announcement to investigate the RPF's leaders for war crimes.
Rwanda's chief prosecutor, Gerald Gahima, explained that the government opposed the prosecution of members of the RPF, because it would undermine an institution that holds Rwanda together and defends it from Hutu extremists: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/jul/29/chrismcgreal
Firestarter:
In the following article the United Nations, and Canadian UNAMIR commander Romeo Dallaire in particular, are blamed for orchestrating the Rwandan genocide, and involvement in the assassinations of President Juvenal Habyarimana and Prime Minister Agathe Uwilingiyimana.
The missiles used to shoot down the plane were from stockpiles the Americans had seized in their first war against Iraq. In a warehouse at Kigali airport, rented by a CIA Swiss front company, the missiles were assembled. The French judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere told Boutros-Boutros Ghali, Secretary-General of the UN in 1994, that the CIA was involved in the shoot down.
The UN peacekeeping force in Rwanda, UNAMIR, assisted the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) in the shoot down on the plane that carried the Rwandan President and Army Chief of Staff. Force Commander of UNAMIR, General Romeo Dallaire, arranged for one axis of the runway at the airport to be closed, which made it easy for the RPF to shoot down the plane.
Dallaire consistently sided with the RPF during his mandate, which included providing military intelligence. Dallaire took his orders from the US and Belgian ambassadors. See comrades in genocide Romeo Dalliare and Paul Kagame.
Another Canadian general, Maurice Baril, from UN headquarters in New York, “forgot” to tell his boss, Jacques Roger Booh-Booh, about the build-up for a final Ugandan Army-RPF offensive, which consisted of at least 10 battalions and possibly 13,000 RPF combatants infiltrating into Kigali, when the Arusha Accords only permitted them 600.
A third Canadian, General Guy Tousignant, took over as UNAMIR commander from Dallaire after the RPF had been installed into power. UNAMIR II continued to help the RPF in its genocidal campaign.
UN Secretary-General Boutros-Ghali has stated that the US is 100% responsible for the Rwanda genocide. To help the RPF, 600 US Army Rangers were stationed in Burundi, who in May 1994 invaded Rwanda from the south to link up with RPF forces.
Tanzania was also involved in shooting down the plane with Habyarimana and invaded Rwanda from the east and south blocking escape routes for Hutus fleeing the atrocities of the RPF in their assault towards Kigali.
I have a hard time following the story on the murder of Prime Minister Agathe Uwilingiyimana, who was a Tutsi herself and is portrayed as an agent for the RPF. If so why would the RPF-supporting Dallaire conspire to have her murdered (as insinuated in this story)? Uwilingiyimana was not much more than a puppet of Faustin Twagiramungu, the prime minister designate under the Arusha accords, who was a close ally of the RPF. Uwilingiyimana was manipulated by the RPF, Twagiramungu and General Dallaire.
Uwilingiyimana was scheduled to talk at Radio Rwanda at 4:30 am, to tell the nation that President Habyarimana had been killed in an “accident”. Its radio station manager, Jean-Marie Vianney Higiro, contradicts Dallaire’s account in his book. Higiro states that between 6:00 am and 6:30 am, Dallaire phoned to ask why Uwilingiyimana had not made the address. Dallaire writes in his book that he phoned Uwilingiyimana to tell her the broadcast was off. If Dallaire already knew at 4:30 am the broadcast wouldn’t go through, it makes no sense that he would call after 6:00 am to ask why. At 5:00 am, the Belgian UN soldiers had already arrived at Uwilingiyimana’s residence.
Colonel Bavagumenshi, the officer in charge of the Gendarme VIP security detail, states that at 21:00 hours he was ordered to reinforce VIP protection, and for Uwilingiyimana in particular. When Bavagumenshi showed up at 8:30 am to protect Uwilingiyimana, the Belgian Colonel Luc Marchal told him the mission was cancelled because Uwilingiyimana had fled her house. Marchal “forgot” to tell him that she had fled to the UNDP compound, where Bavagumenshi and his men were needed to protect her: http://www.therwandan.com/who-killed-agathe-uwilingiyimana-the-death-of-a-prime-minister/ (https://archive.is/dwLT8)
