I. Remigius Kintu (President of Uganda Democratic Coalition): "TERROR INCOGNITO: THE USA CONSPIRACY BEHIND MUSEVENI'S WARS"

To the Maryland Peace & Justice Annual Conference, 04.19.97

Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is a great honor to be asked to address a large audience of people like yourselves who are dedicated to peace and justice at a time when many wicked individuals are promoting injustice, proxy wars and deception in East Africa.

Several years ago UDC NEWSLETTER, of which I am the editor, revealed the existence of a conspiracy behind Museveni's invasion of Rwanda. All evidence implicated United States agents as key conspirators. Some people called us trouble makers, paranoid or mentally sick. Little did we then know that this is an old trick which is used to cover up truth. You recall what was said of peace activists during the Guatemala and El Salvador insurgence.

On October 1, 1990, Ugandan troops, composed of Tutsis, led by Museveni's Minister of State for Defence, General Fred Rwigema and other high ranking Army Commanders, invaded Rwanda launching a savage era of invasions, genocide, cover-ups and deception extending beyond Uganda. It later became known that some of the invaders had acquired military training in America under the IMET program while disguised as Ugandans. A Uganda Democratic Coalition Inc. (UDC) delegation went to the Pentagon and met Major Tony Marley who was in charge of IMET program. He agreed that Uganda had misled American officials by proposing candidates for training who were in reality not Ugandans. He assured us that this matter would be looked into by appropriate officials at the Pentagon and State Department. We later learned that the training program had increased in size and intensity to train more Tutsis who later commanded the Rwanda invasion.

In March of 1993, I visited Rwanda and saw for myself some victims of that heinous invasion. Between Oct. 1, 1990 and April 6, 1994, over 140,000 Hutus in northern Rwanda were slaughtered by invading Tutsis commanded by American-trained officers. More than a million people were displaced within their own country. I wrote to the White House, to key leaders in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives and enclosed pictures of men, women and children murdered in Ruhengeri and Byumba, northern Rwanda. I asked U.S. leaders to use their influence to end this senseless invasion. To my surprise, there was total silence!

During the same year, I alerted the U.S. Institute for Peace, a quasi-government organization, of the ongoing human carnage in Rwanda. It is most likely to grow worse and spread throughout the Great Lakes Region. I was told that they had no time and manpower to commit to the Rwanda tragedy. I did not give up the fight for truth and justice but continued knocking at doors all over town and beyond. I went to religious and circular organizations appealing to their conscience at least to look into what is going on in East Africa. I cannot understand why people who claim to be Christian were so cynical and callous about human suffering in this part of the world!

In June of 1994 as the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) invaders were about to take over Kigali, Ms. Prudence Bushnell of the U.S. State Department conducted a press conference. A reporter questioned whether the State Department knew about the RPF invaders. Where were they trained and who financed and armed them? She answered that "we do not have that information". Had she answered truthfully, she could have disclosed Uganda and the U.S. since America was training RPF commanders, financing and arming them via Uganda with weapons from their stockpiles in Europe. America was effectively mesmerizing the targeted countries and the rest of the world. The same U.S. officials who were in charge of these sinister operations were parading themselves as peace makers, initiating insincere negotiations which led to thousands of innocent deaths.

During a Hearing by the Congressional Africa Sub-Committee on March 31, 1993, Mr. James L. Woods, then Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense testified, "We have also been involved in diplomatic efforts to end that civil war. U.S. observer delegations, including military experts, have provided technical advice and guidance to the OAU sponsored peace negotiations. In that regard, LTC Tony Marley (previously of my staff and currently on Ambassador Cohen's staff) has since late February been shuttling between Kigali, Kampala and Arusha providing impartial technical advice to both parties in the tragic war. We have also worked behind the scenes bilaterally with various players, providing advice and encouraging compromise". (underlining added).

Tony Marley, referred to above is the officer UDC leaders met at the Pentagon in 1990 when he was in charge of training Tutsi commanders under the IMET program in the Africa section of Military Intelligence. Later he was assigned to the State Department Africa Bureau as Special Asst. to the Asst. Secretary for Africa.

A former U.S. A.I.D. official, Mr. Harald Marwitz, wrote that, as early as 1989, U.S. Embassy reported to the State Department from reliable sources in Rwanda, such as foreign military observers, confirming Ugandan involvement in incipient border skirmishes and the subsequent invasion of Rwanda." In his report, Mr. Marwitz revealed that some officials questioned the moral grounds of U.S. continued military and economic assistance to Uganda while it was preparing to overthrow a legally constituted government of a friendly country. He further revealed that "between 1989 and 1992, the U.S. alone provided almost $183 million in economic aid enabling Uganda to finance the invasion. This sum is as much as all U.S. aid to Uganda in the previous 27 years".

Asst. Secretary of State for Africa, George Moose, informed the Africa Sub-Committee of the House of Representatives on May 4, 1994 that, "in conformity with our policy of promoting democratization, we shall never recognize a government which takes power by force". A few months later, he went to Kigali to open the U.S. embassy after recognizing RPF regime which had taken power by force.

This clearly confirms that the U.S. State Department has been telling lies. Ms. Bushnell's claim that they did not know about RPF, and Mr. Moose's statement to Congress are proof of their policy of deception and cover-ups. She is now Ambassador to Kenya.

The Washington Post of March 14, 1997 reported that, "Uganda and Rwanda have aided Zairian rebels with arms, money, equipment, intelligence coverage, tactical and communication equipment". The Post must think that the public is too naive to know that Uganda and Rwanda do not make weapons nor are they wealthy enough to finance wars. Around 80% of Uganda's budget is sustained by foreign borrowing. Nearly 100% of Rwanda's expenditure is funded by begging and borrowing. These African basket-case countries do not have spy satellites nor technical experts who could provide military intelligence information to anyone.

The Washington Post of March 16, 1997 further revealed Uganda's role in the Zairian war when it reported the fall of Kisangani city. It reported that, "attackers appeared to have punched quickly through the army's lines by using artillery and armored vehicles which had recently arrived overland from Uganda". Where are those weapons coming from? Who is bringing them into Uganda? Who is paying for them? Who has the capacity to gather and disseminate military intelligence to rebels? Such important questions are conspicuously absent from American media reports. It is certain beyond doubt that Ugandan, Rwandese and Burundian troops invaded Zaire. Why then does the world community remain mute? Why not condemn and punish the three regimes for invading a sovereign nation? If any country has the liberty to invade another, what was the fuss with Iraq?

A Few weeks later, British ITN WORLD NEWS gave extensive coverage of the Zairian war. They interviewed rebel leader, L. Kabila, and showed a section of young men he has purportedly recruited inside Zaire. Those boys were talking loudly in English which did not bear Zairian French accent. In light of the fact that Uganda and Rwanda invaded Zaire, it can be concluded that those boys were Ugandans, not Zairians. After all, 70% of the troops in Rwanda are genuine Ugandans who still receive their salaries from Kampala. In addition to those who were deployed via Rwanda, the direct deployment from Uganda speak only English.

Ironically, the Clinton Administration has rewarded Museveni's submission to its atrocious orders with a STATE VISIT by THE FIRST LADY at a time when Ugandan troops are invading Zaire and Sudan. Is that a pat on the back for "a job well done"?

Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda invaded Zaire in October of 1996. NGOs which operated in refugee camps fled the area. The U.S. beguilingly claimed concern over Rwandese Hutu refugees trapped between invaders and Zairian forces. The U.S. decided to airlift "food and other humanitarian supplies" for the beleaguered refugees. Entebbe and Kigali airports (the source of invaders) were chosen as delivery points for U.S. supplies which were to be taken by road into Zaire. Among the "food and other humanitarian assistance" shipment into Entebbe was about 176 Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs). They were transported by road from Entebbe to Goma, Zaire.

The American Embassy in Kampala later reported that the entire convoy of APCs was stolen as soon as they approached the Uganda/Zaire border. Many of us did not know that APCs can actually be food for starving refugees! Why did the U.S. send APCs instead of food and other humanitarian assistance as previously announced? No attempt was made by local authorities nor the U.S. Embassy to catch the thieves. No explanation was given as to how such bulky military equipment could be so easily stolen and hidden in the short savannah grass. Who could those thieves be and for what reasons? The most probable conclusion from this bizarre story is that the U.S. delivered those weapons to invaders who were expecting them at the border.

One of Museveni's top military commanders, General Tinyefunza, quit and denounced the regime's policies because, according to him, the civil unrest in northern Uganda is a government ploy to give cover to America's war in Sudan at the expense of Ugandan lives. It has been publicly admitted that America wants to overthrow the Khartoum regime, using Uganda, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Egypt. The U.S. proposed to arm those unscrupulous juntas, pay them millions of dollars to invade Sudan on her behalf. Who then is the war-monger in the region?

We know that if you want PEACE, work for JUSTICE. And justice is dependent on EQUITY. You do not have to be a philosopher nor a Theologian to appreciate the importance of Thomas Jefferson's contribution to America's sacred documents which proclaim, ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL..that EACH ONE HAS A RIGHT TO LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. This land of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Henry George, Abraham Lincoln, W.E.B. DuBois, Frederick Douglas, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Robert F. Kennedy and thousands of men and women who built a remarkable democracy of the people, by the people for the people. America's greatness should not be in its weapons of mass destruction but in its ability to save and promote human life. For the former, people will fear and hate you, but for the latter, they will respect and admire you.

Today the people of Uganda and neighboring countries are faced with a new and more horrific danger which exceeds the darkest days of European colonialism. It is not a secret anymore that the danger is coming from the most powerful nation in the world and it is directed at the very existence of people in Sub-Sahara Africa. Thousands of Africans are killed daily through proxy wars designed, financed and supplied by a foreign cabal who profit in selling weapons and looting Africa's natural resources. Zaire, Liberia, Somalia and now Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi are perfect examples. Many more are dying of foreign-made diseases which are blamed on imaginary "green monkeys". Weapons and other means of mass destruction with which African population is being obliterated are supplied in the name of development or relief assistance.

The cabal uses some NGOs and the media to control and distort information on the plight of Africans. This neo-Nazis propaganda is by far more dangerous than that of Joseph Goebbels. They provoke wars, plant puppet regimes and support corrupt, brutal dictators who take orders from their foreign masters. Those regimes have as their main duty to contain and control nationals who resist foreign subjugation.

U.S. AGGRESSION

The U.S. desire to devour Africa was best explained by the late U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Ron Brown, while visiting Uganda. He told a dinner party audience that:

"For many years African business has been dominated by Europeans while America gets only 17% of the market. We are now determined to reverse that and take the lion's share".

Anybody who remembers colonialism knows that economic exploitation of Africa was its main objective. Political administrations were set up for the purpose of defending their foreign economic agenda. They no longer have to send in colonial rulers. Instead, they use local scoundrels, i.e. Mobutu, Said Barre, Museveni, Kagame, Buyoya, Rawlings etc.. They set up puppet regimes, train their military thugs in modern brutality so that they may effectively shield foreign looters and exploiters from grumbling and angry nationals.

It is unfortunate that there are some black Americans like the late Ron Brown who utter the same words without thinking. They should be more sensitive to the fact that slavery was a product of European exploitation of Africa. How can a grandchild of an African slave in America, who recently acquired status in his/her society envy European exploitation of Africa to the point of wishing that America do the same to Africa? This is as absurd as it is abominable. I do not believe that an America Jew would be that insensitive and careless with his remarks about Israel, no matter how glamorous a job he/she was offered. But Abraham Lincoln said, "as I would not like to be a slave, I shall not keep a slave".

It is very disturbing to see that the world's greatest democracy is concocting deadly conflicts in Africa at the same time pretend to be peace-makers. United States is the major supplier of arms to Uganda for use throughout the Great Lakes Region. American military are stationed at Entebbe old airport, Nakasongola, Kabamba, Ssingo, Nkozi, Gulu, Ssese Islands and other mobile locations grooming regional insurgents. Last year, Africa Analysis and UDC Newsletter reported about American military officers who were conducting a special training program at Kabamba named Mobile Training Team (MTT). Most likely, that was a precursor to the invasion of Zaire. U.S. military encroachment has contributed greatly to the problems in East Africa. A letter from the U.S. Secretary of Defense, William Perry, to Paul Kagame of Rwanda on August 7, 1995, stated:

"I am pleased with the progress you have made and I am especially happy that the United States has been able to play a role in that reconstruction. When we met in August and again when you visited me last December, I said that I would do what I could to help. You asked me to assist you win support within my government for lifting the arms embargo that had been applied so justly to the murderous regime you ousted and which was still incongruously in effect against your country's liberators. As your Charge' has informed you, I have done so...

I said that I understood and strongly support your request for training to help professionalize and downsize your country's army. Our training of your soldiers at Newport and soon in Kigali regarding the role of militaries in civil societies is an important first step.

I fully agree with Ambassador David Rawson's request for training in such areas as intelligence, counterinsurgency, leadership development, logistic, management and administration. I intend to advocate initiating such training as soon as possible. The next logical step to this training would be a series of combined exercises and I will pursue that with General Joulwan at the appropriate time."

On Nov. 6, 1995, Mr. Perry, wrote another letter to Kagame and stated:

"Over the past several months, we have worked very hard with our colleagues both in the Executive Branch and in Congress on the resumption of a formal IMET program this coming year. I am confident that Rwandan officers and soldiers will enjoy the fruits of formal training alongside American soldiers at U.S. military schools next year. We have also arranged for our European Command to offer you a Joint Combined Exercise for Training (JCET) for next year in Rwanda."

Certainly, U.S. military assistance to Rwanda has greatly enhanced their capacity to participate in a joint Tutsi invasion of Zaire. It has been confirmed by several sources that U.S. military is active in the invasion of Zaire and in the extermination of Rwandese refugees inside Zaire. American satellites and military planes are canvassing the area, locating where refugees may be hiding. They relay the information to ground troops who move in to massacre them. They use the same methods to help rebels defeat the Zairian army.

Congressman Harry Johnston, D-Fla, is a leading supporter of the Tutsi hegemony in Africa. While chairing the Africa Sub-Committee on May 4, 1994, he ordered those giving testimony not to mention the name UGANDA during a hearing on Rwanda. How could one discuss the Rwanda crisis and omit Uganda which provided the base and all the support for RPF invaders? There is no better evidence of a cover-up. During his visit to Rwanda in September of 1996, Cong. Johnston advocated a policy of forcing refugees to return to Rwanda. That totally contradicts the Geneva Convention and established international laws regarding the treatment of refugees. He stated:

"STOP FEEDING THEM, MOVE YOUR FEEDING FACILITIES BACK WITHIN THE BORDERS, TRY TO GET THE RWANDAN AND TANZANIAN ARMY TO INSERT DISCIPLINE, A SECURITY FORCE THAT WILL PERSONALLY ESCORT THE REFUGEES ACROSS THE BORDER BACK TO THE FEEDING STATION."

Cong. Johnston's barbaric cynicism and insensitivity is a defamation of civilized thinking. It is indeed revolting and nauseating, to say the least.

Evidently, the invasion of Zaire has accomplished that and more. Thousands of refugees were butchered in the camps. The rest were commandeered back into Rwanda where thousands have perished in crematoriums! Again this gruesome fact has been covered up by U.S. and other responsible officials. What kind of aberrance is this?

UGANDA'S ROLE

Under Museveni, Uganda is the headquarters of a sinister U.S. and British military conspiracy to plunder the region. Museveni is assured of their support to pursue his tribal ambitions as long as he implements the Anglo/American agenda. The first step was to return to Uganda British Asians as the merchant class; a system which has its origin in British colonialism. The World Bank and IMF extended credit needed to buy weapons and build a strong army for the purpose of military expeditions at the command of American and British masters. As a result, the World Bank (IDA) has so far given Museveni $1.8 billion which has financed these wars for there is nothing else to show for it. Training camps of rebels from Rwanda, Burundi, Zaire, Sudan and Kenya were set up in Uganda for eventual invasion of their respective countries. The U.S. grooms their officers under the IMET program.

BALDERDASH ECONOMIC REPORTS A Nazi-like "blitzkrieg" campaign was launched to paint a glossy picture of Museveni's regime. They fabricate balderdash economic reports on Uganda which bear no truth whatsoever about the conditions of the country's economy. They claim that Uganda's economy under Museveni grows at an annual rate of nearly 10%. These international con men never give the public a breakdown of the various economic sectors whose totals are too revealing of the true situation.

The truth of the matter is that Uganda's economy has been destroyed by Museveni's regime and they know it. The only things which are on the rise are: FORE UNEMPLOYMENT, POVERTY, IGN DEBT, CORRUPTION, GREED, REGIONAL AGGRESSION, ILLITERACY and DISEASES but they do not care. Most rural farmers who contribute 85% of GNP are financially hurting and are constant victims of government embezzlement. Instead of being paid cash for their crops, they are given "promissory notes" which are never redeemed. Four years ago the regime praised itself for promoting vanilla as a new crop which will increase farmers' earning power. McCormick Co. of Baltimore, MD. area, contracted to buy all of Uganda's vanilla. A prominent vanilla farmer in Kyaggwe county was interviewed by a Swiss TV crew. He complained that prices obtained from foreign buyers do not reach the farmers, and accused government agents for embezzling it.

Total revenue is so low that 80% of government spending is sustained by foreign borrowing. If the Ugandan economy was doing that well (10% according to these liars), why does the regime have to be a beggar for aid and loans in order to survive?

HERE ARE THE FACTUAL ECONOMIC INDICATORS

When Museveni took power by force in 1986, foreign debt was only $500 million. Now it is $3.7 billion and rising. Annual interest charges of $186 million exceed the $118 million earned in total export.

There has been a dramatic change in the currency transfer account. The flight of needed currency has increased from $140 million in 1987 to $971 million in 1997. This dramatic change is greatly attributed to British Asians, removal of foreign exchange controls, liberalization of export and import.

Annual net national income has averaged minus $47 million for the duration of Museveni's rule.

Balance of Payment is always in the red. It fluctuated from minus $101 million in 1987 to minus $130 million in 1997. Export earnings of which coffee accounts for 80% have been declining each year since 1986. Coffee alone dropped from $394 million in 1986 to $98 million in 1993 and hasn't recovered that much to date. That is 75% decline in income to nearly 80% of the population.

The standard of living has significantly declined. In 1986 Uganda's per capita income was $500. Today, it is $100 and declining. In 1986 Uganda ranked 26 from the poorest country in the world. Today, it ranks 3rd.

Ten years ago, Life expectancy was 52 years. It is now 36 years.

Uganda is the 5th most corrupt country in the world. All government owned and controlled corporations and co-operatives have either been bankrupted or reported no profits. Uganda Commercial Bank (UCB) boss, Ezra Surumana was fired not arrested after embezzling over 5 billion shillings.

There is no medicine in government hospitals. Around 80% of school age children do not attend schools. Majority of the people wear second hand clothing. More than half of the population no longer get two meals a day. Even one meal is too lean to be a meal. A highly placed Ugandan civil servant said recently that around 90% of the total budget goes into military and spying. Essential services such as education, health, agriculture, social security etc.. are of no concern to the regime. Tough luck for people to whom missionaries or some good-hearted NGOs cannot deliver essential services.

A World Bank formula on MULTILATERAL DEBT sets a DEBT-SERVICE-TO-EXPORT RATIO, calculated on present value basis discounted for the period 1992-2031, as the framework for determining the depth of debt problems. They suggest a benchmark ration of 200% as the ceiling for a sustainable debt servicing level. Uganda's ratio is in the region of 700%. External debt is currently 60% of GDP.

An internal World Bank Memo of April 1, 1992, warned,

"The fiscal/monetary developments over the first half of FY1991/92 have once again demonstrated the pervasiveness of structural weaknesses in the Ugandan economy. A small and narrow revenue base combined with a heavy reliance on unpredictable external support for budgetary purposes, and a shallow financial system create a large potential for financial instability through the fiscal system. In the external sector a narrow export base, a large resource gap and a crippling debt burden restrict the availability and predictability of foreign exchange flows. Strong efforts are necessary to solve the fiscal problem and to correct the large and unsustainable fiscal imbalances, if growth and stabilization objectives are not to be undermined."

In Feb. of 1997, Uganda's financial mismanagement was characterized by the World Bank as partly due to "a weak banking system which is plagued by inside lending, inadequate management practices and improper supervision". This is what Mrs. Clinton praised as "a model for economic and social reform" which all Africa should emulate!

How then can any person with a brain, let alone western leaders and their experts from the World Bank and IMF, tell the world what they know as FALSE that Uganda's economy is growing? All that mambo jumbo is intended to make their puppet look good on paper so that they can justify funneling more than $1.8 billion into Uganda to finance regional wars.

Museveni is like Hitler in many ways except the color of his skin. Hitler was not a German but an Austrian. Likewise Museveni is not a Ugandan but a Tutsi from Rwanda who came with his mother as a refugee. Hitler attacked one country after another. He planned his attack of Russia and other countries while negotiating PEACE TREATIES with his future victims. British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, naively believed that he could achieve peace with Hitler through mere negotiations. Hitler was planning his attack of Britain while mesmerizing Chamberlain with peace agreements. Museveni is doing precisely the same.

Europeans mobilized and fought against Hitler. When will Africans wake up and do the same? Unfortunately, many African countries are mesmerized and cannot defend themselves. Museveni must be thanking God for giving him neighbors whose self-defense instinct is dwarfed.

RWANDA

Many people around the world read about and watched in horror pictures of butchered men, women and children in Rwanda. People have screamed, in disgust. Instead of getting on with managing their countries why are these Africans busy butchering each other? They ask. Few people ever actually question whether all this is due to a biological deformity within the African person or externally imposed.

American propagandists, such as, Roger Winters and Allison DeForge, have clamorously labored to hide the fact that Tutsis in the Ugandan army invaded Rwanda since October 1, 1990 and slaughtered over 140,000 innocent Hutu civilians prior to April 6, 1994. The U.S. government as a partner in that crime has used its enormous influence with the media, the U.N., World Bank and other organizations to distort and cover up the truth.

The U.S. government invidiously labeled victims of an invasion as murderers. U.S. embassies were instructed not to grant visas to Hutus. The U.S. tried to coerce all nations to follow the American alienation of Hutus. America advanced a policy that no forum in the world should hear their side of the story for fear that the truth will be embarrassingly exposed. You all know that American democracy demands that one listens to both sides before making judgement. Was that meant for a select few?

The intensity of deception and cover-ups has been awesome. The world has been manipulated to believe that the killings started on April 6, 1994. For three years Hutus were being killed by invading Tutsis while the world kept mum. On April 6th, 1994 the conspirators killed President Habyarimana and the masses retaliated in anger and desperation by killing those whom they identified as enemies. I do not condone killing innocent people, but I strongly condemn the act of invading sovereign nations. At the same time I can understand how people anywhere could and often do react when placed in similar situations.

It is hypocritical to evade the issue that Rwanda was invaded by Tutsis, aided by Uganda, USA and UK. It is hypocritical and seditious for world leaders to have abated such a criminal invasion of a sovereign nation for three years without stopping it and punishing its perpetuators. The same crime by the same criminals is going on in Zaire and all you hear is bravo, bravo. The Rwandese people were capriciously betrayed by Belgium, USA, the U.N. and others in whom they expected rescue from invaders or at least a fair and a balanced judgement. Suddenly, their leader was blown up on April 6, 1994 by a combination of RPF and their foreign instigators. It is this sequence of events, and more so those who started it, that should be blamed for the human carnage which started on October 1, 1990 till now. Why not blame the Tutsi invaders and their foreign benefactors, i.e. Uganda, USA and UK who created the situation that caused the death of so many people on both sides of the ethnic line?

Violent reaction is not new to mankind. History tells us that in year 70 some Jewish people revolted against Roman imperialism. The Romans reacted by burning down Jerusalem, destroyed the temple and chased Jews out of the city.

The French revolution was a reaction to inequity over BREAD and thousands of the aristocrats were slaughtered mostly by angry and hungry peasant women.

After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, the U.S. government reacted by rounding up Americans of Japanese ancestry and put them in concentration camps.

After the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in 1968, black Americans reacted by burning cities.

None of the above cases involved Hutus. These events took place long before 1994. If anything, the Hutus may have learnt this lesson from western societies.

CREMATORIUMS

A British reporter, Nick Gordon, investigated and reported that RPF regime built crematoriums at Bugasira, Ruhengeri, Byumba, Kibungo, Inyungwe and other locations where thousands of Hutus are killed daily and their bodies are incinerated under the program called "MANPOWER DUTIES" while U.S. officials are looking the other way. The Tutsi regime is conducting genocide in Rwanda to reduce the Hutu population to "manageable level". At Gabiro, one of those Auschwitz-like crematorium, Nick reports, between 1000 and 2000 Hutus are incinerated daily and their ashes spread in the fields by a tractor. It is also reported that American military has established a base adjacent to the crematorium at Bugasira. It is impossible for American GIs not to hear the daily and loud groaning coming from across the fence; neither can they fail to smell the stench of burning flesh.

BURUNDI The struggle for freedom, justice and democracy in Burundi is strewed with gruesome episodes which are as disappointing as they are tantalizing. Burundi is ruled by a brutal oligarchy of Tutsis/Hima who are only 14% of the population. The majority Hutus are oppressed and deprived of their human dignity. They are barred from government positions, the army, educational opportunities and church leadership. As a result of this blatant APARTHEID, 99.9% of the army is Tutsi. Burundi is 70% Catholic and 20% Protestant, yet the clergy and entire church leadership in each denomination is over 90% Tutsis dominated.

Prof. Rene Lamarchand of the University of Florida documented the periodical pogrom by Tutsis against Hutus in Burundi. He revealed in his book, BURUNDI: ETHNOCIDE AS DISCOURSE AND PRACTICE, Cambridge Univ. Press, 1994.

"Over 5000 educated Hutus in the military and public services were slaughtered in 1965. In 1972 over 300,000 Hutus were killed and the same number fled the country. In 1988 about 5000 Hutus were killed. In 1991 an estimated 5000 Hutus in Bujumbura city alone were killed. From 1993 to date, more than 200,000 Hutus have been killed."

In 1972 The Commission of International Jurists investigated and the United Nation Security Council declared that indeed Tutsis in Burundi had committed genocide against Hutus. Yet no action was taken by the U.N. nor other responsible body.

Due to a combination of pressures, Burundi democratically elected a Hutu President M. Ndadaye, on June 1, 1993. Tutsis resented the country's move to democracy. Consequently they murdered President Ndadaye on October 23, 1993 and systematically eroded away the elected government and returned the country to Tutsi military rule. Throughout this period of eroding the feeble democracy, Tutsis obtained substantial help from Museveni and United States.

BURUNDI POLICY FORUM

A group of American jingoes was formed in Washington to coordinate U.S. involvement in undermining Burundi's feeble democracy. They meet monthly at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to review the progress of their activities and set new goals. That forum is capriciously funded by the U.S. government and comprises of officials from the State Dept., U.S.A.I.D., Defense Intelligence Agency, CIA, World Bank, and a number of NGOs who contract with U.S. government agencies in various activities. This forum is presided over by a gladiator from a leading British-funded NGO, SEARCH FOR COMMON GROUND, which has coordinated a number of crisis generating initiatives. It is perplexing to note that this group does not include staff members from Capitol Hill.

Buyoya, the new Tutsi junta, is a favorite of the U.S. He received funds from U.S.A.I.D. to undermine the elected government of Burundi. He was invited to the forum sessions several times and keeps in close consultation with, sending his agents to the meetings, updating them and carrying back new instructions. In June of 1996, Buyoya met with Susan Rice of the National Security Council at the White House who reportedly assured him of America's support in his intended take over of Burundi a month later. That was also confirmed in Bujumbura when Buyoya briefed his commanders, retorting that he had been assured of U.S. support for their planned coup. Recently this organization has changed its name to "GREAT LAKES POLICY FORUM".

PERSECUTING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

Rwandese Tutsis remember with contempt the contribution of a Swiss Catholic Missionary, Fr. Peraudin W.F., who taught SOCIAL JUSTICE to an oppressed Hutu population. He motivated Kayibanda to take up the Hutu peoples' struggle for human and civil rights. That struggle culminated into the revolt of 1959/60 which overthrew a repressive Tutsi monarchy and established, for the first time, a majority rule. Killing of the Catholic hierarchy in Rwanda and subsequent persecution of the church by RPF is most probably in retaliation to its having spearheaded the emancipation of oppressed Hutus.

The Catholic Church in Burundi has also had its share of persecutions. Missionaries who preach and practice social justice and Hutu clerics have faced persecutions. Burundi's Archbishop was killed by the military in 1996 for being fair-handed. Most Hutu and balanced Tutsi clerics have been tortured and others went into exile.

Soon after Tutsi invaders reached Bukavu, Zaire, the Catholic Bishop of that diocese was among their first victims. He was beheaded together with nine other church leaders. The killers took off with the Bishop's head! Is it by design that wherever Tutsis gain control, the Catholic leadership is persecuted?

SUDAN

Museveni's troops invaded Rwanda on October 1, 1990. He and his foreign cabal used to call for peace negotiations whenever they needed time to regroup and resupply their troops. After Rwanda was finished in June of 1994, their chief logistician and propagandist, Roger Winters of the U.S. COMMITTEE FOR REFUGEES (a misnomer organization) said that, "now Rwanda is stabilized, I will turn my attention to Sudan". Within a few months, Uganda attacked Sudan and the western media was jubilantly reporting that the invaders will soon take Juba. Unfortunately, Sudan is not like Rwanda. The invaders met a formidable defence from the Sudanese army. Again the scamps called for peace negotiations which were held in Kenya, Nigeria, Malawi, Libya and Iran. Each agreement has been followed by resumption of military attacks by Uganda which made those agreements not worth the papers they were written on.

AFRICA ANALYSIS of Aug. 1996 and UDC NEWSLETTER of Sept, 1996 exposed America's role in the Sudan invasion. Then The Washington Post expanded the story, quoting some U.S. officials who confessed that they are financing and arming Uganda, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Egypt to overthrow the Khartoum regime. The American proxy war in Sudan is in progress causing death to many Africans.

STRUGGLE FOR PEACE & JUSTICE

The struggle for peace and justice in Africa is facing a new and a more deadly challenge. We should not be intimidated by the enormity of this satanic darkness of injustice and deception now hovering over Africa. In spite of its blinding darkness, it cannot extinguish the glow of one candle. Imagine, if many of us lit many candles of peace and justice in many places. We shall dispel this satanic darkness of proxy wars, injustice, repression and deception. More than ever, grassroots activists must oppose wicked leaders and their clamorous agents who promote human suffering. The triumph of evil is not so much due to its inherent strength as it is due to the lamentable inaction of the descent majority of people.

As Gandhi said, "In time to come, people will not judge us by the creed we profess or the labels we wear or the slogans we shout, but by our work, industry, sacrifice, honesty and purity of character".

American people have a special duty to instill moral purpose, ethical conduct and values which are absent from their government's foreign policy, especially on Africa. The fact that Africa was conspicuously omitted during: the past presidential debate, the Inauguration and State of the Union speeches proves that grassroots activists have a lot to work on.

If your leaders have deceived you, it is because you have allowed yourselves to be deceived. The trouble is not with the facts which are available. The trouble is that clear and honest inferences have not been drawn from the facts. If America continues to dodge the issues of injustice, mass killings, proxy wars and economic exploitation perpetuated by your leaders, the whole nation shall be condemned. Yes, it is proper to blame imperialists and colonialists for some of Africa's misery. Western democratic nations should not be the ones to seduce and entice African nations into criminal and wicked conduct.

African rulers also share in the blame. They failed to identify their foes, know where they belong, define their own interests, set their objectives and pursue them with and for their own people. They know that Europeans came to Africa to help themselves. That goal has not changed over the years. It takes two to tangle. African rulers should and could have fended off any satanic temptation. Why don't they?

Africa is ruled mostly by power-hungry, greedy, corrupt, scoundrels and murderers. They preside over straw nations which have been thoroughly eaten up from within by enemies they glorify and cherish as friends. The inability of Zaire to defend her territorial integrity in face of an invasion is one classic example of domestic, foreign, economic and social policies which are one enormous field of ruins, strewn with inept, greedy and corrupt rulers who only respond to commands from their foreign masters. Many African regimes are no different. The world, thus, sees them as stooges and obsequious dogs which gratefully lick the hands that have just beaten them!

Peace-loving people here as well as in Africa must work together to promote peace. We must challenge agents of injustice and destruction no matter how powerful their temporal positions may be. We should never forget that the aim of our struggle is our very existence. The sole enemy whom we must watch is and remains the power which is robbing us of this existence and destroying our countries.

African people are struggling for their RIGHT to be Africans in their Africa with all that God endowed to them. The realm of RIGHT is not merely concerned with the regulation of material possessions, but also with spiritual values, such as love, loyalty and freedom insofar as these values assume a form in a spatio-temporal world.

We cannot ask God to perform miracles while we ignore the natural means for affecting change now available to us. Msgr. Moses Coady of Canada, a champion of social justice, wrote that, "charity and justice have their foundation in religion. It is the spiritual concept of life that gives zest to the struggle for democracy and freedom". He strongly believed that, "social justice will eliminate injustice and economic exploitation".

It is not sufficient to hold out a helping hand to our fellow men in a time of crisis. It is more in keeping with human dignity that people should be given a chance to live in peace, raise their children, worship their God, build their lives as they please in their own land as masters of their own destiny. This is charity in the real sense of the word.

Let it be known that breeding wars in sub-sahara Africa is intrinsically bad, morally repugnant and criminal. America cannot claim to support democracy and human rights in Africa, at the same time create wars which obliterate African countries, prop up corrupt dictators who deny people their basic rights and human dignity. In other words, America cannot be part of the problem and at the same time be part of the solution. Although there is a saying that, if your behind is big enough, you can sit on both sides of the fence at the same time.

Those forces who oppose every available opportunity for Africans to realize economic democracy are truly her greatest enemies. Political independence and democratic governance in Africa cannot endure without being founded in peace, justice, freedom, respect for human life and economic democracy under divine Laws.


II. THE TRUTH BEHIND THE RWANDA TRAGEDY

By Mr. Remigius Kintu

The Following Document was prepared upon request and presented to the U.N. Tribunal on Rwanda, Arusha, Tanzania

March 20, 2005
I come before you, Ladies and Gentlemen of this noble Tribunal which was instituted to search for the truth behind the heinous crimes committed in Rwanda. And upon you was charged the noble responsibility of dispensing justice where it is due. If I could borrow from the wisdom of great men and women of long ago, truth is not a function of public opinion or majority vote, nor does it stem from the wishes of the mighty and powerful, but rather it stands in its absolute properties regardless of opinions, purposes or values of anyone and transcends time and space.

I want to borrow from the Greek play OEDIPUS REX by Sophocles. King Oedipus was disturbed by the immense suffering taking place in Thebes. The calamity in that land of Thebes was caused by the innocent blood of its King Laisos who was killed many years ago. Kreon told Oedipus what he heard from Delphi that the gods demand we expel from the land of Thebes an old defilement we are sheltering.

As a result, Oedipus made the following pledge: “If any man knows by whose hand king Laios son of Ladbakos met his death, I direct that man to tell me everything no matter what he fears for having so long withheld it. Let it stand as promised that no further trouble will come to him but he may leave the land in safety. And for the criminal, I pray to God that that man’s life be consumed in evil and wretchedness. And as for me, this curse applies no less.”

He further stated that the god Apollo sent us word that this great pestilence would lift, only if established clearly the identity of those who murdered Laios. None of the wise men and priests could reveal the secret of the calamity that befell the land of Thebes. Choragos suggested that there is one man who may detect the criminal. This is Teirsias, a blind holy prophet in whom alone, of all men, truth was born.

Teirsias was brought before the throne and revealed to Oedipus: “I say that you are the murderer whom you seek. I say you live in hideous shame with those most dear to you. You cannot see the evil. It is the truth that sustains me”.

BACKGROUND

The Hutu vis-à-vis Tutsi Relations

The Tutsi vs. Hutu relationship in Rwanda has been marred with gruesome human rights violations committed and perpetuated by Tutsis for centuries. Belgian colonialism did very little to alleviate the brutality, enslavement, dehumanization and all sorts of suffering which Hutus endured for centuries at the hands of Tutsi minority who controlled that country with an iron hand. Hutus were nothing but slaves of Tutsis. Each Hutu was obliged to perform “UBURETWA” which was labor performed by Hutus which symbolized the most degrading and humiliating form of servitude. Hence, a Hutu was required to put in a day’s work at a property of a Tutsi master without pay. The harvest of the land belonged to Tutsis who had the right and privilege of enjoying whatever the Hutu labor produced. Yet the Hutus could use left-overs at the discretion of the Master Tutsis. Needless to say, land belonged to Tutsis and Hutus had one duty and that is of working on it for the benefit of the masters. Such institutionalized impoverishment forced many Hutus to seek paid employment in Uganda. Others sought labor jobs in Congo. Whenever a Hutu slave/servant failed to perform his duties at the Tutsi master’s property, the punishment was 8 lashes by kiboko – (a whip made out of a dry skin of a hippopotamus).

Educational opportunities were for only Tutsis, thus creating a mass of ignorant and uneducated population of Hutus. Only at the discretion of a Master to his extraordinarily obedient and docile slave, could a Hutu’s child be permitted to attend school but only up to a certain level, as may be wished by the masters. Government positions, from the King down to the lowest level, were exclusively for Tutsis.

The brutality of Tutsis over Hutus had no limits. It became their second nature that neither human decency nor moral/spiritual values could influence the way Tutsis treated Hutus. For instance, Umwami, (king) official drum and symbol of royalty, called KALINGA, was decorated with the dried penises of Hutu men. The Queen Mother, who wielded significant power, had her two spears – symbols of authority – anchored in two Hutu babies or adults.

A Tutsi had a right to kill a Hutu for any reason, including simple displeasure of a Hutu’s looks. Sometimes such killing could be done by parents to please their child who may have expressed a hatred of a Hutu for any reason. The dehumanization process reached a terrible depth that Hutus were barred from crying if and when such atrocities were inflicted upon them. The consequences of shedding tears at the presence of such brutal injustices were fatal. As a result of centuries of dehumanization and odious brutalization, Hutus do not cry but rather freeze or become petrified and weep internally. These are but a few examples of the brutality Tutsis exercised over Hutus for centuries.

THE HUTU REVOLT

In 1948, the UN reports expressed shock at the inequalities in Rwandan social and political structures and called upon the Belgian colonial administration to prepare the population for self-government. The Tutsi did not agree with the UN recommendations and so wanted to keep their status of being superior to Hutus.

The first blows of the Hutu revolution were struck in 1959 when a gang of Tutsi youths attacked one of the few Hutu sub-chiefs. The news of his death spread across the country and Hutu moved to retaliate. The Hutu uprising of 1959 was important because it demonstrated the depth of rural discontent with the Tutsi domination and mistreatment of Hutus. This revolution ended in 1961 when democratic elections and a referendum on the monarchy were held under the UN supervision. The Hutus won by an overwhelming majority vote. The referendum delivered a decisive rejection of the monarchy. Under the leadership of a charismatic Gregoire Kayibanda, democratically elected Hutus took control of government and Parliament.

That revolution which abolished the monarchy, established for the first time in the history of Rwanda a government run by majority Hutus. As a result, thousands of Tutsis who were members of the repressive regime including their Umwami (King) fled to neighboring countries of Uganda, Congo, and Tanzania and beyond.

The Catholic Church in Rwanda played a significant role in abolishing the Tutsi slavery of Hutus in the late 1950s. Tutsis regardless of their religious affiliation have harbored a deep resentment against the Church since then. In particular, retired Archbishop Andre Perraudin who in 1959 wrote a pastoral letter in which he asked, in the name of charity, that an end be put to the privileges of one ethnic group over another, suggesting social reforms and greater democracy. Prior to his becoming a Bishop, Fr. Perraudin had been one of a few Missionaries who taught, believed and lived the doctrine of social justice in Rwanda.

That diabolic hatred of the church by Tutsis was vividly demonstrated by RPF when they accused Bishop Augustin Misago of the so called genocide of 1994. Bishop Fokas of Ruhengeri was taken away by police and presumed killed. A government sponsored campaign to demean the Catholic Church in Rwanda has been going at the highest level of RPF administration. What is even more shameful is to see that Tutsis raided a church to demonstrate at on April 4, 1999 in Veyras, Switzerland when the retired Bishop was celebrating his 60 years of priesthood. They accused him of the 1994 genocide. The Bishop served Rwanda for 38 years and retired to his home country of Switzerland on September 15 1993. His legacy of emancipating Hutus from Tutsi enslavement is the crime Tutsis can never forgive him.

TUTSI REFUGEES IN UGANDA

The UNHCR set up refugee camps for Tutsis soon after they arrived in Uganda in 1960, at Rwimi and Base Camp Kasese in Toro, Kamuhingi and at Rukinga Valley in Ankole. Rukinga Valley was a sparely populated area. It provided excellent grazing grassland for those that came with their livestock. The UN agency took full responsibility for those people. Uganda, as a young nation, had never experienced such an influx of refugees and did not know how to handle such problems.

It is important to remember that Tutsis made no secret of their intentions to return to Rwanda as rulers. “We cannot accept to be ruled by Hutus who are supposed to be our slaves”, so they declared. Soon after they settled in those camps, they devised plans of taking back power in Rwanda through force. In the 1960s Tutsi refugees made several attempts to capture power by force. There were about 5 attempts during Kayibanda’s reign, when Tutsi militant groups made unsuccessful attempts to attack Rwanda from Uganda and Congo. At the same time they were accusing Rwanda of being undemocratic. They continued waging a two prong attack: accusing the Hutu regime in Kigali of being undemocratic and repressive, while at the same time mobilizing an armed invasion of Rwanda. While still under the UNHCR supervision in Uganda, those refugees tried to mobilize their youth into an armed guerilla group. The militant group was called THE BANYRWANDA YOUTH ASSOCIATION. A. Milton Obote’s first regime prevented them from using Uganda as a military base for an attack on a neighboring country because it was a violation of both the U.N. and OAU Charters. That did not go well in the minds of a people who were obsessed with taking power at any cost. They worked around it by undermining the very country which gave them refuge.

At that time their efforts were thwarted but their conviction to regain power in Rwanda did not die. They continued to use other avenues including negotiating with the Kigali regime for their return to Rwanda, which could give them an opportunity to maneuver to regain power, by any means, from within the country. There were several negotiations sponsored by OAU and UN to work out a compromise of returning refugees back to their country. Each time a compromise was reached; the Tutsi side undermined its implementation and quickly blamed the Hutu side for the apparent failure. It was self evident that the Tutsis wanted nothing short of taking total control of the country and return to the old ways of Tutsi domination and enslavement of Hutus.

They resented the fact that Rwanda was under the control of a majority group – a people they deemed not fit to rule. That sentiment was confirmed many years later when Paul Kagame’s junta officially condemned retired Archbishop Andre Parraudin for his pivotal role in the emancipation of Hutus in 1950s. The then Fr. Parraudin (who was a Missionary teacher at a Seminary in Rwanda during the 1950s) expounded to his students the Catholic doctrine of SOCIAL JUSTICE and HUMAN RIGHTS. On that basis the Diocesan newspaper called Kinyamateka was entrusted to Gregoire Kayibanda, an ex-seminarian, who wrote extensively on social reform, condemning Tutsi brutality against the Hutus. Kayibanda, backed by the Church through Bishop Parraudin, vehemently preached justice and human rights for all. It was from that standpoint that Hutu liberation blossomed and formed a political party PARMEHUTU which waged a victorious campaign against the Tutsi dynasty, overthrowing the monarchy and deposing all Tutsi rulers in 1959/60.

END OF REFUGEE CAMPS IN UGANDA

Under the influence of some powerful Hima politicians from Ankole District, namely Grace S. Ibingira, C.B. Katiti and W.W. Rwetsiba, who were intimately conjugated with Tutsi refugees, Obote was persuaded to undermine the UNHCR and closed the camps. Many refugees got off the UNHCR sponsorship at the dismay of UN officials. Uganda government, working in conjunction with local authorities, settled many Tutsi families at Namutamba, Kiboga, Mawogola and many parts of Ankole.

He recruited many of the young men and women to serve in his newly created spy and torture Gestapo-like GENERAL SERVICE UNIT (GSU). They had over the centuries perfected the skills of spying, torturing and brutal subjection of Hutus in Rwanda. Such work was their second nature. They learned quickly the Bantu languages of southern Uganda, particularly, Runyankole, Rukiga, Luganda and Lusoga. Obote’s regime was destined to survive many years in power since it had a monopoly of military power, using his northern tribesmen combined with an effective but dreaded spy and torture network manned by Tutsi mercenaries, who had no loyalty to any tribe and could intermingle freely and effectively among the Bantu tribes of the south, where opposition to his regime was strongest. Many girls including Tutsis were deployed to work as spies in bars, hotels, restaurants and even as wives.

Many GSU agents were deployed in various ministries and state controlled corporations from which they spied on civil servants and the general public. Among GSU agents of Rwandese extraction were Yoweri Museveni (who as a young boy grew up in the family of Boniface Byanyima and attended Ntale High School) worked in the Prime Minister’s office. Chris Katsigazi joined the Foreign Affairs Ministry and served in many posts overseas, including in Washington DC and New York.

GSU became a notorious and dreaded agency causing Obote’s regime to be hated. Many people, especially from the opposition party (Democratic Party), were tortured and imprisoned by GSU agents. Most of those atrocities were committed by Tutsi agents purporting to be Banyankole. That insecurity created a paralysis in the country and disrupted political, social and economic progress.

IDI AMIN AND TUTSIS

General Idi Amin overthrew Obote on January 25, 1971. The population was jubilant because they expected to see an end to GSU spies. Idi Amin tried to rid Uganda of those dangerous elements, but unfortunately that was not the case. Many GSU personnel fled the country, but a significant number of them remained and eventually infiltrated Amin’s regime serving as spies and killers under a new organization called STATE RESEARCH BUREAU (SRB).

THE POST AMIN ERA AND MUSEVENI’S CONTRIBUTION

FRONASA Group and mobilization of Tutsis in Uganda

THE 1980 ARMED STRUGGLE IN UGANDA AND INFILTRATION

Soon after the political turmoil its lowest level Obote’s group stole the election, Ugandans wedged an armed struggle and a civil broke up. At that time Yoweri Museveni was co-chairman of the ruling Military Commission which in turn paved the way for second return of Milton Obote into power. In 1981, Museveni and his Tutsi clique, which was hatched in FRONASA and later merged into UPM, infiltrated the ongoing armed struggle against Obote’s forces. They joined the fighting with a hidden agenda of taking over and killing off its original leadership. Indeed the Tutsi clique successfully carried out their dual plan. Over the course of 5 years of fighting Obote’s regime, the original true Ugandan leaders were systematically killed. Among those they killed were, Robert Sserumaga, Bazil Mumanya, George Nkwanga, Bernard Buzabo, Kiwanuka, Waswa, Yusuf Lule, among others. One unique case of their killing strategy is the death of Ahmed Sseguya – a Muganda. Sseguya led the FRONASA military group that trained Nachingwera in Tanzania. He was a staunch supporter of FRONASA, and a well trained military commander. He stayed with the Tutsi/Hima group not knowing their secret plans. Museveni ordered Muchunguzi, Julius Ayime and Mugume to kill Mr. Sseguya so as not to allow a Muganda among their midst.

Museveni and his clique of Tutsi/Hima tribesmen established named itself THE NATIONAL RESISTANCE MOVEMENT/ARMY and monopolized the bush war that ousted Obote in 1986. The following were its members:

High Command were: Yoweri Museveni, Salim Sareh, Fred Rwigyema, David Tinyefunza, Jim Muhwezi, Eri Tumwine, Paul Kagame, Moses Kigongo, Mugisha Muntu, Kiiza Besigye.

Senior Officers were: Kahinda Otafire, Benon Tumukunde, P. Kutesa, Julius Ayine, Mugume, Frank Guma, Stephen Kashaka, John Kyaakuta, Barihona, Rwandari, Rweyibanda, Muchunguzu, Gasinzi, Amanya Mushega, Amama Mbabazi, Fenehams Katirima, Mathew Rukikayire, Eriya Kategaya, Byemalo, Shef Ali, Kasigazi, Kihanda, Sande Mukulu, Monday, James Kazini, Makanga Bogere, PeterKerimu Kazora, Ruhakana Rugunda, Stephen Kwiringia, Kasula Kyomuhendo, Kashilingi Lubaramira, David Ndyayondi, Fred Kagonyera,, Kyakabare, Samuel Kaka and many others.

As soon as they started fighting in Luwero triangle, their first strategy was to kill as many civilians as they could and destroy their properties, and put the blame on Obote’s soldiers. They often bragged about this trick as one they learned when training with FLERIMO of Mozambique.

THE GRAND PLAN TO CONTROL AND DOMINATE THE EAST AND CENTRAL AFRICAN REGION.

In 1979, another development was taking place in Rwanda. A group of Rwandese (mostly Tutsis) in Rwanda launched an opposition party named RWANDESE ALLIANCE FOR NATIONAL UNITY (RANU) calling for national unity and the return of exiled Rwandese. That party was forced to go underground and was maintained by Rwandese exiles. In 1987, a year after Museveni took power; it changed its name to RWANDESE PATRIOTIC FRONT (RPF). It enjoyed support from many Tutsis in Museveni’s regime who were at the same time camouflaging as Banyankole or Bakiga.

Tutsis occupied strategic and controlling positions in Museveni’s regime, thus achieving their primary objective: that of controlling Uganda and using it as a staging ground to take over other countries. Fred Rwigyema (first leader of RPF) was Minister of Defense; Paul Kagame was Director of Military Intelligence, and responsible for exterminating Ugandans who could be real or imaginary opposition. He operated his death camp in Basiima House at Mengo and at various other locations. Other Tutsis in the control of Uganda was Pierre Kabatzi. Peter Bayingana was Chief of Medical Service for Uganda Prisons. Chris Bunyenyezi was Administration Chief at Army Headquarters.

Soon after Museveni took over, he lured the Rwandan leader J. Habyarimana to accept lifting travel document requirements for citizens of Uganda and Rwanda. A special bus service between Kampala and Kigali was established by Tutsis in Museveni’s government. Its daily runs from Kampala, in most cases, went half full and always returned full of people from Kigali. This activity went on till shortly before October 1, 1990, when the RPF commenced their invasion.

It later became evident that the bus passengers coming from Rwanda to Uganda were recruits for military training for the eventual invasion of Rwanda in 1990. The recruits mostly came from Tutsi families. Others were from various parties opposed to J. Habyarimana’s regime. The destination was Kabamba Military Training Camp, others were sent to a secret training camp at Karugutu in the Rwenzori Mountains. Its Chief Commander was Mr. Biganja.

Among the many recruits brought in from Rwanda was a young lady I interviewed. She was brought first for military training and then she underwent Intelligence Work training at the residence of the Catholic Bishop of Kabale, The Right Rev. Barnabas Halem’imana. That lady informed me that many recruits had their initial training in spy work and other related activities at the Bishop’s residence. The instructions included RPF plans and dogma which emphasize, among other things, that Tutsis, not Hutus, were destined to be rulers of Rwanda but not Hutus. They also undertook training in spying and torture techniques. After graduating from there, they were sent to another location on the Uganda-Zaire border near Kasese to the home of a wealthy Tutsi trader. There, they had additional training before deployment. That lady recalls many conversations in the evenings with the Bishop as he sipped Scotch whisky, telling the young recruits that Tutsis were created to be rulers. The RPF officers were free to use the Bishop’s vehicles. One morning, those guys returned from their night expedition in the Bishops pick-up truck. It was stained with blood. The people of Kabale recognized the Bishop’s vehicle being driven by strange faces. The information became known among the people. Secret letters of complaint to the higher authority in the Church were written by priests and laity alike to no avail. The Catholic population of Kabale revolted forcing him to run for his life to Kampala from where he requested the Pope to accept his resignation as Bishop of Kabale Diocese, a request which was immediately granted. We have learned that Museveni has rewarded him with the political post of Director of HIV/AID Prevention Program. This organization is charged, among other things, with the duty of distributing condoms.

RPF and THE INVASION OF RWANDA (Oct. 1, 1990)

The decision to invade Rwanda was made soon after Tutsis were dethroned in 1959/60 and arrived in Uganda as refugees thereafter. From that time, they carried numerous attempts to take over power by forces. At the same time they tried galvanizing public opinion against the Hutu dominated regime, but yield limited results. The FRONASA groups which was formed in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania was the one to come up with a winning strategy when it took advantage of political anarchy, to which they significantly contributed, in Uganda and thus opted to taking over that country and in turn use it as a staging ground to invade Rwanda.

The actual preparation for the RPF invasion of Rwanda started in 1985 while NRM was still fighting in Luwere before taking power in January 1986. The NRA High Comand composed of Yoweri Myseveni, Salim Sareh, Fred Rwigyema, David Tinyefunza, Jim Muhwezi, Paul Kagame, Moses Kigongo, Kiiza Besigye, Kahinda Otafire, formed a committee which will organize the invasion of Rwanda soon after NRM/NRA takes over Uganda. That committee included the following: Fred Rwigyema, David Tinyefunza, Mugisha Muntu, Jim Muhwezi, Paul Kagame, Shef Ali,Matteka, Byensi, and Biganja. By the end of 1985, more than 3,000 Tutsi/Hima had completed their military training at Mulima Barracks, a secret place in the Rwenzori Mountain.

After Museveni took over power, he invited President Habyarimana to be the guest of honor at a military ceremony whereby ranks were awarded to senior NRA officers. During that meeting, Museveni asked Habyarimana to allow three senior NRA military officers to join the Rwandan Army but that request was rejected. The officers were Fred Rigyema, Mugisha Muntu and Paul Kagame. Museveni furtherrequested Habyariman to allow ordinary Tutsi soldiers from the NRA to join the Rwandan Army; that too was turned down. Finally Museveni asked Habyarimana to allow ordinary Tutsi civilians to return to Rwanda on a gradual basis. That was accepted on the basis that that those returnees have no criminal record.

Towards the end of 1986, Museveni deployed into Rwanda the 3000 soldiers who were trained in Mulima Barracks. They were disguised as civilians and each one was given 300,000 Uganda Shillings as a resettlement fund. This advance team was constantly sending back information about the Rwandan Army and Government.

In 1987, Jim Muhwezi, Director of Internal Security Organization (ISO), appointed Mr. Stehen Ndawula Ssennoga, a Kyambogo Technical College graduate in Communication, to recruit former Kyambogo students into ISO. All recruits were sent to East Germany and Cuba for training in how to operate sophisticated spy equipments. Mr. Kibuka was the leader of those who went to East Germany and Mr. Kayemba led the team that went to Cuba. The two groups returned after 6 months of training and with them were lots of spy equipment which were stored at the ISO headquarters, Nakasero. Stephen Nadura, S. Kweringira, David Kasula and Bosco Kiviri were in charge of those equipments. In December of 1987, ISO bought twelve (12) mobile radios and IFA vehicles which carried them. They also bought 20,000 walk talkies and bugging equipment from East Germany plus 20,000 pistols, 6.71 mm. All those equipments were destined for Rwanda. In early 1987, a Bulemezi farmer who had been put in charge of NRA farms was ordered by Fred Rwigyema to buy machetes, axes, hammers, hoes, spades, slashers and knives from Jinja Steel Mills, Ssembule Investments and Uganda Bati Co. LTD with labels reading “Made in Rwanda”. He was also ordered to hand all the purchase to Paul Kagame and Mugisha Muntu. Byemalo and Kalyegyeya took charge of the delivery.

In 1987 Jim Muhwezi and Moses Kigongo started a clandestine program of recruiting Tutsis and Hima from Bulemezi, Singo, Gomba, Butambala, Mawogola and other areas of Buganda who were trained at ISO school near Entebbe. At the same time, Kahinda Otafire, Kiiza Besigye, Amanya Mushega and Kale Kahihura were recruiting Tutsis and Hima in Bushenyi, Ntungamu, Mbarara, Rukungiri and Kabale and training them at Mirama Hills Detach Center where Mr. Fuluma was in charge of training.

In 1987, the NRA High Command gave two buses to a Mr. Samuel Black, a Kasese businessman, to transport all the trainees from Milima Barracks of Rwenzori Mountain to Kabale where they were received by Mr. Batuma to distribute them in different places inside Rwanda. Another Kasese businessman, Mr. Katoto, was given two buses by NRA to transport trainees from Milama Hills into Rwanda with the help of Mr. Batuma.

Between 1987 and 1989, Moses Kigongo, Mathew Rukikaire, Kakwano and Kaka were authorized by Uganda Government to transport people, weapons and all equipment which were kept at ISO stores and at Basiima House from Uganda to Rwanda. Those equipments were distributed to their men who were already stationed inside Rwanda.

Museveni took power in 1986. He placed Tutsi men in total control of the Ugandan military which was going to be used as staging ground. They control numerous other strategic and powerful positions in Uganda, so that neither political nor military opposition could rise up against their sinister plans. On the military side, many of their commanders received advanced military training abroad, particularly the USA and UK.

RPF collaborating with a cadre of Tutsis inside Rwanda scouted the countryside. They took young Tutsi kids out of school and brought them to Kigali for the purpose of agitating for jobs. Those kids were anywhere between 11 and 17 years old. They were promised, according to eye witnesses, to return to their schools after RPF takes power. Those young people terrorized Kigali in many ways demanding employment which the Habyarimana Government could not offer. That gave the Tutsi political opposition more ammunition against the Hutu leadership for having failed the economy.

RPF and THE INVASION OF RWANDA (Oct. 1, 1990)

The decision to invade Rwanda was made soon after Tutsis were dethroned in 1959/60 and arrived in Uganda as refugees thereafter. From that time, they carried numerous attempts to take over power by forces. At the same time they tried galvanizing public opinion against the Hutu dominated regime, but yield limited results. The FRONASA groups which was formed in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania was the one to come up with a winning strategy when it took advantage of political anarchy, to which they significantly contributed, in Uganda and thus opted to taking over that country and in turn use it as a staging ground to invade Rwanda.

The actual preparation for the RPF invasion of Rwanda started in 1985 while NRM was still fighting in Luwere before taking power in January 1986. The NRA High Comand composed of Yoweri Myseveni, Salim Sareh, Fred Rwigyema, David Tinyefunza, Jim Muhwezi, Paul Kagame, Moses Kigongo, Kiiza Besigye, Kahinda Otafire, formed a committee which will organize the invasion of Rwanda soon after NRM/NRA takes over Uganda. That committee included the following: Fred Rwigyema, David Tinyefunza, Mugisha Muntu, Jim Muhwezi, Paul Kagame, Shef Ali,Matteka, Byensi, and Biganja. By the end of 1985, more than 3,000 Tutsi/Hima had completed their military training at Mulima Barracks, a secret place in the Rwenzori Mountain.

After Museveni took over power, he invited President Habyarimana to be the guest of honor at a military ceremony whereby ranks were awarded to senior NRA officers. During that meeting, Museveni asked Habyarimana to allow three senior NRA military officers to join the Rwandan Army but that request was rejected. The officers were Fred Rigyema, Mugisha Muntu and Paul Kagame. Museveni furtherrequested Habyariman to allow ordinary Tutsi soldiers from the NRA to join the Rwandan Army; that too was turned down. Finally Museveni asked Habyarimana to allow ordinary Tutsi civilians to return to Rwanda on a gradual basis. That was accepted on the basis that that those returnees have no criminal record.

Towards the end of 1986, Museveni deployed into Rwanda the 3000 soldiers who were trained in Mulima Barracks. They were disguised as civilians and each one was given 300,000 Uganda Shillings as a resettlement fund. This advance team was constantly sending back information about the Rwandan Army and Government.

In 1987, Jim Muhwezi, Director of Internal Security Organization (ISO), appointed Mr. Stehen Ndawula Ssennoga, a Kyambogo Technical College graduate in Communication, to recruit former Kyambogo students into ISO. All recruits were sent to East Germany and Cuba for training in how to operate sophisticated spy equipments. Mr. Kibuka was the leader of those who went to East Germany and Mr. Kayemba led the team that went to Cuba. The two groups returned after 6 months of training and with them were lots of spy equipment which were stored at the ISO headquarters, Nakasero. Stephen Nadura, S. Kweringira, David Kasula and Bosco Kiviri were in charge of those equipments. In December of 1987, ISO bought twelve (12) mobile radios and IFA vehicles which carried them. They also bought 20,000 walk talkies and bugging equipment from East Germany plus 20,000 pistols, 6.71 mm. All those equipments were destined for Rwanda. In early 1987, a Bulemezi farmer who had been put in charge of NRA farms was ordered by Fred Rwigyema to buy machetes, axes, hammers, hoes, spades, slashers and knives from Jinja Steel Mills, Ssembule Investments and Uganda Bati Co. LTD with labels reading “Made in Rwanda”. He was also ordered to hand all the purchase to Paul Kagame and Mugisha Muntu. Byemalo and Kalyegyeya took charge of the delivery.

In 1987 Jim Muhwezi and Moses Kigongo started a clandestine program of recruiting Tutsis and Hima from Bulemezi, Singo, Gomba, Butambala, Mawogola and other areas of Buganda who were trained at ISO school near Entebbe. At the same time, Kahinda Otafire, Kiiza Besigye, Amanya Mushega and Kale Kahihura were recruiting Tutsis and Hima in Bushenyi, Ntungamu, Mbarara, Rukungiri and Kabale and training them at Mirama Hills Detach Center where Mr. Fuluma was in charge of training.

In 1987, the NRA High Command gave two buses to a Mr. Samuel Black, a Kasese businessman, to transport all the trainees from Milima Barracks of Rwenzori Mountain to Kabale where they were received by Mr. Batuma to distribute them in different places inside Rwanda. Another Kasese businessman, Mr. Katoto, was given two buses by NRA to transport trainees from Milama Hills into Rwanda with the help of Mr. Batuma.

Between 1987 and 1989, Moses Kigongo, Mathew Rukikaire, Kakwano and Kaka were authorized by Uganda Government to transport people, weapons and all equipment which were kept at ISO stores and at Basiima House from Uganda to Rwanda. Those equipments were distributed to their men who were already stationed inside Rwanda.

Museveni took power in 1986. He placed Tutsi men in total control of the Ugandan military which was going to be used as staging ground. They control numerous other strategic and powerful positions in Uganda, so that neither political nor military opposition could rise up against their sinister plans. On the military side, many of their commanders received advanced military training abroad, particularly the USA and UK.

RPF collaborating with a cadre of Tutsis inside Rwanda scouted the countryside. They took young Tutsi kids out of school and brought them to Kigali for the purpose of agitating for jobs. Those kids were anywhere between 11 and 17 years old. They were promised, according to eye witnesses, to return to their schools after RPF takes power. Those young people terrorized Kigali in many ways demanding employment which the Habyarimana Government could not offer. That gave the Tutsi political opposition more ammunition against the Hutu leadership for having failed the economy.Many Hutus who were lured back into Rwanda from the Goma as a result of radios announcements and pamphlets distributed in refugee camps were slaughtered by RPF soldiers soon after they entered the country. Others who made it to their original homes found their houses occupied by Tutsis and were forced to be slaves or servants of the new owners. At Kibeho in southern Rwanda, many returning refugees were slaughtered by RPF under the command of James Ruzibiza, who later went to Congo with Kabila and headed Agence Nationale de Renseignement, a killer squad that massacred thousands of Hutu in refugee camps in Eastern Congo burying them in mass graves.

Such mass killing of civilians continued during the period of invasion while the world community, and especially Uganda, USA and Britain were amassing more support, training, arms, funds and favorable propaganda and disinformation campaign for RPF. The U.S. Committee for Refugees Inc. (a misnomer name) based in Washington DC run by Roger Winters, became a virtual command post for RPF external operations. It was the center of external operations conducting logistical management, disinformation propaganda and all sorts of political intelligence activities for RPF with almost unlimited funds from dubious sources in the USA. Professional liars, such as Ms. Alison DeForge were constantly paraded by this agency of deception. Another person with excellent connections was Catherine Watson who wrote beatifying articles for RPF. The RPF propaganda arsenal included Ms. Monique Mujawamariwa, who was seconded to Roger Winters by RPF high command. She was launched on speaking tours by Roger Winters which culminated into an audience in the White House on April 22, 1994 with Mr. Anthony Lake, National Security Advisor to the President. She used to show a scar in her face which she got some years back as a result of a car accident. She claimed that is was caused by a machete attack by Hutu killers, which she survived!

CREMATORIUMS IN RWANDA.

In April of 1996, a British investigative journalist and author of “Murders in the Mist”, Nick Gordon, revealed that the RPF regime of Paul Kagame was operating petroleum-fueled crematoriums at several locations in Rwanda. The victims were Hutu men women and children. This revelation was later confirmed by a highly placed official in Kigali, when I asked him during his visit to USA late that year. Unfortunately that person was later killed by RPF because he was a high ranking official in the Judiciary. They were incinerating over 2000 bodies a day. The U.S. military which is stationed nearby knew of it but has kept silent. What is even more frightening is the revelation that the crematorium at Nyungwe forest is run by a garrison who were trained by U.S. military officers. It is further alleged that the crematorium at Byumba, which is disguised as a “Water Supply and Rehabilitation of Refugees Project” was built by Americans as was the one at Gabiro. In an interview with a former prisoner who escaped from Kami military prison said that soon after he escaped, he hid in the homes of local people nearby who told him of a horrible stench which smells like burning flesh was in the air daily.[5]

Consequently, the Clinton Administration proposed to set up a so called RAPID DEPLOYMENT FORCE (RDP), a roving army of foot soldiers from various African countries which shall be trained, armed and commanded by Americans. This force was intended to remove undemocratic dictators and those brutes who violet human rights. Who would decide which dictator to be removed and under which criteria could such determination be based? Nonetheless, this is similar to what Amin Parsha and Capt. Lugard had at the time of colonizing Africa.

While the RDF did not receive wide acceptability as was anticipated, the Tutsi Armies of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi, which derive their survival from America’s support, are playing the same role as RDF was intended for. They were deployed into Congo to serve American interests. They were sent to Iraq when most nations of the world felt there was no justification for war. Recently Rwandan troops were sent to the troubled region of the Sudan purporting to be peace-keepers. A human rights investigator from Canada informed me that Rwandese troops posing as peace-keepers in Darfur region raid refugee camps in the night killing people and put the blame on the Sudanese army.

The U.S. sent a Commando Force of about 800 soldiers to assist RPF army to consolidate and pacify Rwanda. We also learned that U.S. soldiers stationed in Rwanda are not supposed to inform their families where they are stationed. The ones who have died in action in Rwanda and Congo are reported as having died accidentally in military exercises at U.S. bases in Italy or other countries.

The American corporate/military role in the criminal cabal operating in Africa has performed a marriage of convenience with the Tutsi junto. Each side is vehemently protecting the other, manipulating the media and international organizations, including the UN. They distort facts and truth to cover up their criminal actions, and also carry out joint adventures, as we have mentioned above.

Case in point is the U.S.A. putting a $25 million bounty on the head of Mr. Felicien Kabuga, using American taxi payers’ money for no legitimate reason other than serving Kagame’s criminal interests, and possibly American interest, to loot Kabuga’s property in Kigali. Mr Kabuga owns a nice 5 story office building in Kigali which houses the U.S. Embassy, and the UN offices and other international organizations. It is indicated that U.S. Embassy wants to own the entire building and has no intention of paying rent to a Hutu who is disliked by a Tutsi regime which they came to protect at any cost. They falsely accused Kabuga of financing Hutu resistance and exile political opposition to RPF regime.

At the same time, the U.S.A. has Mr. Valens Kajeguhakwa in a Florida prison on charges ofoffinancing a rebel group called RPF with funds from his former commercial activities and recently from a commercial bank he controlled in Kigali. Interestingly, Mr. Kajeguhakwa is a rich Tutsi who was a close friend of President J. Habyarimana. Mr. Kajeguhakwa’s business interests included a major import of fuel into Rwanda competing with BP-FINA. He controlled one of the Commercial Bank which in turn invested heavily in Kigali real estate. Hence many posh homes in Kigali were financed by this man’s bank, most of which have not been paid for but their original owners. Those owners are either dead or in exile causing a reversion of the titles to the bank which held the mortgages. Mr. Kajeguhakwa also used his friendship with President Habyarimana to feed RPF invaders with valuable information on the Kigali regime. Upon RPF victory in 1994, many of those Tutsis took those nice homes without paying for them. The owner tried to claim his lawful dues but to no avail. One of those houses was taken by Mr. Kagame’s mother. That man fled Rwanda because he insisted on demanding his lawful financial dues from Kigali rulers whom he accuses of embezzling his properties. In turn the USA has silenced by fraudulently charging him with “stealing money from a commercial bank in Kigali and financing a criminal organization called RPF”.

If indeed the US court in Fla. believes that financing RPF was criminal, then American officials themselves plus Museveni of Uganda for their extensive support of “RPF criminal organization” which includes its financing. Their contribution to the crime includes training, arming, supporting in every away including sending their own soldiers to assist in carrying out criminal acts jointly with RPF.

CONCLUSION

I commend the UN for establishing this Tribunal for the purpose of seeking the truth and rendering justice in the Rwanda tragedy. In a country like Rwanda which has been torn apart by ethnic violence, any attempt to find a lasting solution cannot serve its purpose without revealing the total truth.

In pursuit of this noble mission, it is not only fair to the people of Rwanda but also to the whole world community and Africa in particular, to admit that the first crime committed against the country of Rwanda and her people was the RPF invasion which started on October 1, 1990. The people who carried out that invasion plus Ugandan leaders who sponsored it and the United States who collaborated substantially in this criminal act must answer for their actions. The world community and UN in particular should have responded to this invasion in the same manner and style as it did when Iraq invaded Kuwait if it is going to live up to its name and mission in the world community. Otherwise the UN is like what I read in that old book “Animal Farm”: all comrades are equal but some are more equal.

Thousands of innocent civilians were slaughtered by RPF invaders, particularly in Northern Rwanda, between October 1990 and April 1994. The killers cannot and should not be bypassed from facing justice.

We have seen highly fabricated and orchestrated piles of lies concocted by men and women in high positions of leadership with a chorus of field operatives whose sole objective to sodomize truth, protect the criminals and demonize the victims.

The true criminals who should be tried here are the members of the criminal cabal, namely: Museveni and his NRM government, Kagame and his RPF junta, the United States Government under President Bill Clinton and his vanguard which includes William Perry, Mardelene Albright, former Congressman Harry Johnston, Roger Winters, Alison DeForge who was their Senior Propagandist.


III. TUTSI INVASION OF CONGO

Remigius Kintu

President of Uganda Democratic Coalition

September 1998

Tutsi forces from Rwanda and Uganda, supported by the U.S.A., invaded Zaire, now Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), in August of 1998 to overthrow President Kabila whom they installed into power a year ago.

One may recall that Mobutu was put in power by the CIA in 1965. At independence he was a Sargent in the Colonial Army called "La Force Publique". He worked closely with American and Belgian agents in assassinating Prime Minister P. Lumumba. During Mobutu's 32 year dictatorship, foreign corporations mostly from the USA and Europe plundered Zaire's abundant natural wealth of timber, ivory, gold, diamond, platinum, copper and numerous other minerals. Zaire's pre-independence meager infrastructure decayed and collapsed totally while foreign agents were mercilessly plundering. They shared the spoils with their local guard (Mobutu) only to single him out later for corruption when he was no longer useful to them. No mention was ever made about foreign agents who corrupted and supported him for those years.

The Zairean people tirelessly protested and condemned, to no avail, the CIA's role in sustaining Mobutu's dictatorship. As he was approaching his death, due to multiple illnesses, American agents hurriedly looked for a replacement. They planned his overthrow using Tutsi troops from Uganda and Rwanda. U.S. military advisors planned and managed the invasion. They had others camped at Goma during the invasion. They provided weapons, funds and disinformation propaganda. Washington, London and Pretoria played the role of hidden "command centers". Corporations, notably, S.G. Warburg - a merchant bank in London, De Beer - a famous mining company of South Africa, American Mineral Fields Inc. of Hope, Arkansas, several other American mining and oil companies were in the forefront negotiating secret deals with invaders and grabbing mineral-rich real estate in eastern Congo, looting gold and other minerals. American Mineral Fields Inc. is highly connected to President Clinton.

The truth inevitably leaked out that Tutsis from Uganda and Rwanda had invaded Zaire. The Catholic Bishop of Bukavu who made this accusation more credible was subsequently beheaded by the invaders. Hence, the cabal decided to camouflage the invasion by making it look like an internal armed uprising against Mobutu. They named themselves BANYAMULENGE - a tribe which does not exist in Congo. They brought Laurent D. Kabila a native of Katanga who had fled Mobutu's dictatorship, living in Tanzania and paraded him as the leader of a concocted "internal armed revolt" of Banyamulenge and other tribesmen. U.S media unleashed a barrage of propaganda worldwide amplifying those lies and the trick worked.

It has been revealed that Kabila signed secret deals with members of the cabal in order to obtain that position. Deals included curving off vast chunks of mineral-rich land to be exclusive properties of foreign corporations. This meant giving away entire Kasai, Katanga, North and South Kivu provinces plus the Atlantic coastal area which is floating on oil. In this neo-colonial grand plan, Tutsis, who are minority in each of these countries, are destined to be local rulers throughout the region to protect and defend foreign interests against nationals. Thus, Tutsis were promised to receive (and indeed they have received) American military training, finance and favorable media coverage worldwide in exchange for their service as a roving neo-colonial force. National boundaries are rendered obsolete. The cabal assumed the right to choose rulers as they wish. Although Kabila claimed to be in charge after taking over from Mobutu, the Tutsis were actually in charge. The army was composed of and controlled by Tutsis from Rwanda and Uganda. Most of the government administration was also manned by the same. The controlling Tutsis carried out their own agenda, such as the extermination of thousands of Rwandese Hutu refugees in Congo and made Kabila cover up their (Tutsi) crimes before an outraged world community. They tortured, abused, mistreated and killed local political leaders, including those who had opposed Mobutu's dictatorship.

A PLOT TO ASSASSINATE KABILA

A highly placed contact in Kinshasa revealed that Kabila reneged on the secret deals with the cabal and that cost him their support. Consequently, American agents, Museveni and Kagame met in Kampala early this year and decided to eliminate Kabila and replace him with another puppet who will obey their orders. It is further revealed that the French also agreed to go along with this plot.

The plan was to arrest Kabila and Commander John Numbe, charge them with fictitious crimes of treason in order to justify killing them. In July of 1998, James Kabarebe, a Rwandese Tutsi who had become Congo's Army Chief of Staff, requested for an appointment with President Kabila. Prior to entering the President's office, Kabarebe was found with a hidden pistol which had a silencer mounted on it.

The full story of the plot to assassinate President Kabila was uncovered. His reaction was to expel all Tutsis from his government and ordered their return back to Rwanda and Uganda. When the order was carried out, Kabila was left virtually alone in his office since all the personnel were Tutsis. More than 90% of the army left with all the weapons and supplies. Foreign currency and most of the local money was taken out of Kinshasa by disgorged Tutsis. The money was put in a newly established Tutsi Bank headquartered in Goma with branches in Kigali, Bujumbula, Kabale, Mbarara and Kampala. Some of them were heard claiming, "we shall return". Indeed they did.

The Congolese people were jubilant about the expulsion. Upon arrival in Goma, Tutsis declared war on Kabila and launched attacks on Congo's eastern towns one by one killing local leaders, influential people, the clergy and anyone who was deemed to be a potential resister. They murdered men, women and children. Others had their eyes plucked out or facial parts cut off.

WHO ARE BANYAMULENGE? The tribal name of Banyamulenge, meaning Tutsis who are citizens of Congo living in South Kivu region, surfaced during the invasion of Zaire by Tutsi troops from Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi in late 1996. In actual fact, this was a politically coined up name to legitimize foreign invasion that overthrew Mobutu's regime. They claimed having lived in that part of Congo/Zaire for over 200 years. That is a total fabrication. Tutsis came into that region as refugees in 1959/60. According to a U.N. document which was confirmed by local elders, a U.N. official wrote in 1961 to Rwandese Refugees reminding them of their status and advising them to stay away from politics. It was written in French and Kinyarwanda. The French version is reproduced here with an English translation.

Furthermore, leaders of this invasion are not even sons of the above refugees but direct transplants from Rwanda and Uganda. A closer look at the self-acclaimed leaders of the "national rebellion" is further proof of their being imposters.

Bizima Karaha (actual name: Bizimana Karahamiheto) formerly Kabila's Foreign Minister, is a Tutsi from Changugu, Southern Rwanda and a key leader of the invasion. He attended a university in Kinshasa. His uncle, Mr. Kajaguhankwa, is a member of Parliament in Rwanda.

James Kabarebe, another Rwandese Tutsi. He commanded the invasion which overthrew Mobutu in 1997. Prior to that, Kabarebe was head of the Rwandese Republican Guard. He later became Congo's Army Chief of Staff until he was expelled. In August, 1998, he led a second invasion of Congo and commanded troops which were airlifted to Matadi by American and French supporters. Kabarebe was wounded in the fighting at Mbanzangungu. He was reportedly airlifted to Brazzaville and later returned to Goma where he died of the wounds and was buried in Kigali. During his funeral, Bizimana was reportedly shot in the arm by an angry Tutsi soldier. He was flown to a hospital in South Africa.

Jackson Nzinza (real name is Nkurunziza) is a Ugandan Tutsi born at Nyakabande, Kisoro in Kigezi, Uganda. He left Makerere University without finishing to join RPF invasion of Rwanda in 1990. According to sources in Kigali, he killed the three Catholic bishops and eleven priests at Kabwayi in 1994. Nkurunziza radioed to Kagame asking for instructions as to what to do with these Hutu churchmen. Kagame replied in Swahili: "FAGIA" meaning: clean up or eliminate, kill!

He was later sent to Nairobi, Kenya as Rwanda's Charge d'affaires with a special mission of killing Rwandese Hutu refugees living in Kenya. He tried to carry out his assignment but the Kenyan Police uncovered his activities. He was recalled and made head of Rwanda's Internal Security Organization - a Gestapo-type of a murder squad until he was re-assigned to invade Zaire in 1996. After the overthrow of Mobutu, this notorious Gestapo became Congo's Chief of National Security and did precisely what he used to do in Rwanda - kill political enemies. He left Congo when Tutsis were expelled and returned to Kigali. Later, he and Kabarebe led troops which were airlifted to Matadi by Americans and French collaborators, in a failed attempt to capture the capital from the west side. Col. Ibingira, a Rwandese Tutsi who commanded the massacre at Kibeho and later became commander of the army in northern Rwanda. He was also among the leaders of the Zaire invasion in 1996 and became Commander of North Kivu after Mobutu was deposed. He carried out special missions of exterminating thousands of Rwandese Hutu refugees in the region. Ibingira returned to Rwanda as head of "Military Security" - a murder squad.

Tutsis are notorious for disguising their identities by changing names. For example, Micomyiza became Mico; Sekamana is Ssekamanya; Gahoza is Kakooza; Ghatoto is Kato. Surumana is Suruma. There are numerous examples of such cases in Congo and Uganda. Of all African people, only Tutsis have the habit of disguising their identities by doing "surgery on their names".

U.S. ROLE IN CONGO

United States military and spy agencies are the major perpetrators of the turmoil in the Great Lakes region using Tutsi minority group as henchmen against the majority people. American military advisors train Tutsis inside Uganda, Rwanda and at several bases in America. U.S. is financing the war, supplying weapons plus providing a barrage of deceptive propaganda worldwide.

Some of the so-called leaders of the Congo crisis were in Washington D.C. during the week of October 12th to 17th. It is understood that they met with officials at the Pentagon, State Department and CIA who assured them that the work of finishing off Kabila before Christmas is moving as scheduled. Yet the U.S. has a law which forbids granting American visa to any person who is involved in an armed uprising to overthrow a legitimate government.

The Pentagon contracted some of their operations to seemingly independent NGOs which are part of the Pentagon chorus, namely Military Professional Resources Inc. (MPRI), Science Application International Corp. (SAIC), Executive Outcomes and DYNCORP. Intelligence reports indicate the presence of foreign mercenaries from MPRI, Sandline of Britain and Executive Outcomes of South Africa having established bases from Lake Tanganyika through Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, eastern Congo to Central African Republic covering the whole western Rift Valley area which is rich in oil, gas, gold, diamond, platinum, copper iron etc..Most of the mercenary bases are located at or near mining facilities where looting is going on. At the same time, it is reported that a CIA contractor, AIRSCAN INC, of Titusville, Fla. is training Angolan army in Cabinda - putting American hands on both sides of the fence.

Commercial pilots operating in the area identified C-130 and C-5 aircrafts transporting invaders from Kigali and Goma to Matadi. These were undoubtedly American planes. During that time as the invaders temporarily took over Matadi advancing to Kinshasa, three American aircraft carriers were anchored in the Atlantic Ocean not too far from the port of Matadi. Military observers viewed this as being further proof of the Pentagon's deep involvement in Congo. Over 4000 troops plus tanks, APCs, trucks etc..were airlifted. More than half of the invaders were killed. The civilian population played a decisive role in defending their capital. It is estimated that over one thousand invaders were burnt to death by civilians using old car tires placed around the necks. This method is locally known as KAMUNDELE (literally meaning, "barbecuing"). The horror of this execution style was seen by a French helicopter pilot who flew over Kinshasa from Brazzaville to monitor the situation and narrowly escaped being shot down.He is reported as having advised the invaders and foreign supporters to abandon the city since this had become a people's war against the enemies.

FRENCH CONNECTION

Surprisingly, the French sided with the invaders. They participated in providing them with air transport from Goma and Kigali to Matadi and Kinshasa airport. An advance team of invaders was captured near Kinshasa airport by pro-government troops. The captured invaders were forced to signal their colleagues to advance as scheduled. In the process, three French planes landed with more Tutsis troops aboard, weapons and supplies. The French aircrafts were incapacitated and the pilots were interrogated. This incidence was of great embarrassment to the French. However, the damage is expected to be repaired during Kabila's visit to Paris in Nov. 1998.

War prisoners captured in Matadi and Kinshasa are soldiers belonging to the armies of Uganda and Rwanda. Ugandan soldiers interviewed in a Kinshasa prison said that they were told by Tutsi commanding officers that they were going to the Congo border to fight rebels. As soon as they reached the border, they were ordered to enter Congo. They were later put on planes and flown to Matadi by Americans, some of whom they had seen in previous military drills inside Uganda.

The American involvement in the invasion of Congo is the highest crime of terrorism and gross aggression. Their African stooges are killing and maiming thousands of innocent people: men, women, children. (See attached pictures). It makes one wonder how many American people know that some of their government agencies; namely the Pentagon, CIA an State Department are conducting criminal activities in Congo? All the fighting and killings will stop when the U.S. stops its sinister military programs of propping up minority regimes to oppress the majority people.

ATTACKS ON EASTERN CONGO

Dictator Museveni duped Congolese leaders when he persuaded them to form a joint military operation west of Mount Ruwenzori for the purpose of flushing out ADF rebels. This enabled Uganda to deploy troops inside Congo. It was later learnt that their real objective was not to flush out ADF rebels from the mountains as claimed but rather to enter Congo. Soon after the invasion was under way, those troops plus new arrivals captured a number of towns in North Kivu; namely: Beni, Butembo, Bunia. Museveni denied having troops in Congo. Even after his men had taken over those towns, he continued denying it, while sending more, plus 13 tanks all of which captured Isiro and Kisangani. Finally, he admitted that he had troops in Congo to defend Uganda's interests. Besides the already known objective of overthrowing Kabila, the other objective evidently is to loot minerals.

Museveni's men teamed up with white mercenaries and other foreign agents in stealing gold and other minerals from occupied areas of eastern Congo. Small planes have been making frequent flights between Congo and Entebbe bringing gold and other minerals. One plane with top UPDF officers was reportedly overloaded and became disabled on take off at Bunia. On Octrober 13th, high ranking officials from Rwanda, including Kagame's brother, were in London trying to sell an unspecified amount of gold looted from Congo.

The Rwandese, entered Congo and established their headquarters at Goma. They advanced to Bukavu and other areas of South Kivu. They were later joined by a smaller contingency from Burundi, who together with Rwandese, advanced towards Kalemie. Tutsi invaders unleashed horrifying terror to people in South and North Kivu, killing men women and children. (See attached picture from Bukavu). Mass murders of local people: the educated, affluent, religious leaders, local and traditional chiefs were specially targeted for extermination plus any person deemed to oppose Tutsi supremacy. Many families were hacked to death by smashing their heads with hoes as shown in the picture from Bukavu.

The invaders started a program of bringing old Tutsi men directly from Rwanda and Uganda into eastern Congo to be the new cadre of local and traditional chiefs. This is presumed to consolidate Tutsi power in occupied territories. Refugees from that area tell horrible stories of mutilations, mass murders, looting and plundering. In September, two boats carrying Tutsi soldiers reportedly from Burundi sailed on Lake Tanganyika towards the town of Muliro, Congo. Their plan, according to a military informer, was to enter Congo along the Zambia border targeting Lubumbashi. The first boat was captured by Zambian patrol and the invaders were taken to a Lusaka prison. The second boat made a quick u-turn back to Burundi and avoided being captured. President Kabila reacted by calling upon all the people of Congo to defend their nation against invaders. He declared that this war as initiated by Museveni and Kagame must and will be pushed back to Kampala and Kigali were it came from. Kabila further appealed to friendly nations to come and assist his country. Angola, Namibia, Zimbabwe and others responded positively providing him with soldiers and/or weapons. Tanzania which had a team of military officers training a new Congolese army simply pulled out.

SAME TRICK AGAIN

Soon after Ugandan troops invaded Rwanda in 1990 under the leadership of Rwigyema and Kagame, the word was out that this was a Tutsi invasion. A few months later, they named the invasion "an internal conflict" and paraded Alex Kanyarengwe, a Hutu opponent of Habyarimana as their leader. Kanyarengwe was used to the maximum in covering up the Tutsi hidden agenda. Once they achieved victory in 1994, he was miserably pushed aside; now languishing under house arrest in Kigali. Another Hutu who was identified as a better stooge, P. Bizimungu, was planted as a straw president when the real leader is Kagame.

Similarly, the Tutsi invasion of Zaire in 1996 was a clear mono ethnic plot with all the trappings of external aggression engineered in Kigali and Kampala. The invaders quickly recruited L.D. Kabila and used him effectively until Mobutu was deposed. However, Kabila was very lucky and witty to disengage himself before they set fire on his rear end. Congo invasion, phase two, is likewise following the same syllabus. The actual leader is Bizimana Karahamiheto. They recruited Wamba diya Wamba who is apolitical and Ondekane who participated in the slaughter of thousands of Hutu refugees in eastern Congo. These men are considered by many to be egocentric and flagrant. They serve one purpose: to make the invasion look like an internal rebel opposition. Those who learn nothing, forget nothing.

THE TUTSI PHENOMENA

The ethnic difference between Tutsis and Bantu has a long and bitter history. However, external manipulations have flared it into an astronomical catastrophe above and beyond the capacity of local means to contain it.

As soon as Tutsis captured eastern Congo, Congolese religious leaders, including the Bishop of Bukavu were among the first casualties. Many priests, nuns and religious brothers were murdered by marauding Tutsis.

There is shocking evidence that Tutsi priests, nuns and other religious persons are turning a blind eye on executions and injustices, assisting the invaders in various ways, and also in directly persecuting non-Tutsi religious persons in their own communities. "Sister Catherine" a Nandi of Bukavu, whose real name is withheld for security, was actively involved in aiding refugees and other victims of the Tutsi hegemony in the area. She provided assistance to people who were escaping marauding invaders. She raised funds from friends and charitable organizations abroad in order to support her humanitarian assistance to the suffering population. She protected the innocent victims of ethnic killings. For these reasons, Tutsi nuns in her own community hated her and fabricated charges of stealing money, corruption and behaving in a manner unfit of a religious person. Finally they demanded her expulsion from the Order until her life was threatened that she run into exile leaving the convent only to Tutsi nuns. Her entire family was slaughtered. She tells of native Congolese priests and other religious persons who have been killed; others are hiding in forests or gone in exile. Their Tutsi counter-parts remain comfortably at their posts, oftentimes covering up the true picture of the situation.

The scandalous activities of Bishop Halem'Imana , former Bishop of Kabale, Uganda, with RPF during the invasion of Rwanda is further proof of the depth of ethnicity. He reportedly turned his residence into a training camp for RPF agents, according to a defector who completed the month-long indoctrination course. RPF officers used his vehicles to carry out their missions oftentimes returning them with blood stains. In 1993 a Tanzanian Evangelist investigated the ethnic conflict in Burundi. He found out that even Christian virtues have not bridged the satanic gap between Tutsis and Hutus. As he delivered his report to a meeting of All African Council of Churches in Nairobi, he concluded that "if the devil belongs to a tribe, it must be Tutsi".

THE STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM

The African people are in a struggle for survival, freedom and self-determination. Political independence is a part of the unfinished agenda. The UN and OAU Charters clearly defend the principle of territorial integrity and strongly condemn armed aggression against member states. None of these organizations has defended the territorial integrity of Rwanda nor of Congo when they were invaded. Neither are the lives of African people been effectively protected as promised in those Charters. The way the UN responds to Bosnia and the way it has handled Congo or Rwanda certainly leaves a lot to be desired.

The invasion of Congo is a tragic event but a wake up call to African states and their leaders. It has exposed the fundamental weaknesses in the OAU as a hollow and hopeless organization incapable of standing up for the people of Africa. Every African leader knows very well that Uganda and Rwanda do not possess the financial and military capacity to wage wars in the region. It is also known that these are proxy warriors for the U.S. neo-colonial interests disguised as the "NEW WORLD ORDER". Yet whenever there is an opportunity to discuss the crisis in the region, most African leaders are afraid of speaking the truth or seek counsel from Washington on the basis of which they will discuss Africa's tragic situations. The real problem is never addressed for fear of angering the powerful criminals, lest foreign aid will be suspended. Yesterday was Rwanda; today is Congo. The next could be any of the neighboring countries.

The fact is that Congo was invaded by Tutsis from Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi backed by USA. These countries are dominated by minority Tutsis who took power by force. The same clique is openly working for foreign interests who have taken upon themselves the right to determine who should rule Congo. It was a grave mistake for Kabila to team up with Tutsis in overthrowing Mobutu. He knew that they were not Congolese. He knew that they had a foreign master whose agenda was detrimental to Africa. Actually, Congolese people, who detested Mobutu's dictatorship, did not fancy his being replaced by a foreign-dominated regime of Tutsis from Rwanda and Uganda.

Some self-acclaimed 'western experts on Africa' have argued that "no country should send troops in Congo to save Kabila's regime for he is a buffoon". Their knowledge of Africa falls short of revealing that Kabila did not have a regime of his own but was riding on a foreign conquering force composed of Tutsis from Rwanda and Uganda. Those "experts" ignore the criminal part played by Uganda and Rwanda who invaded Congo in violation of the UN and OAU Charters. They also omit mentioning the U.S. criminal role in this invasion. Let us face it, Tutsis would not have posed a problem in the region without U.S. involvement.

In the past some of these experts boldly condemned the Pentagon/CIA support for dictator Mobutu and denounced all its false propaganda. They are now resonating the Pentagon/CIA theme of calling the Congo crisis "an internal revolt" when all evidence shows that this is a Pentagon/CIA made "invasion" from Uganda and Rwanda using Tutsis as tools. They also avoid mentioning the genocide which Tutsis are committing in occupied eastern Congo. Museveni warned Ugandans four years that if they continue opposing his government, they will be treated like American Red Indians.

The issue is not whether to defend President Kabila against foreign invaders but rather to defend the national integrity of Congo and save African lives. It is no secret that Rwanda and Uganda are carrying out these barbaric military expeditions in the region on behalf of American interests who want to plunder Africa's mineral wealth and depopulate the land. They display no regard to the lives and welfare of the African people. This is precisely what European companies did in Africa more than a century ago. King Leopold treated the Congo real estate as his personal plantation. American corporations are currently pursuing the same, committing horrendous atrocities by proxy and devouring mineral-rich real estate in the Great Lakes region.

The Congolese people should put aside their differences with Kabila and first defend their nation. The governments of Angola, Zimbabwe, Namibia and others who responded positively to President Kabila's urgent appeal for help because "African brotherhood" is not meant to be hollow words. Other African leaders should to get more serious about defending African lives. Foreign conspirators (whether Americans or Africans) should never be allowed to recruit local surrogates whom they may send out to topple African governments as they wish while the rest of the continent is watching by the sideline.

Tutsis have prostituted themselves to neo-colonial interests against their fellow Africans. They are committing genocide in eastern Congo and one wonders whether the U.N. will institute a SPECIAL GENOCIDE TRIBUNAL for the Tutsi killers of Congolese. The African people are not blind to the ongoing conflict in the region. They know who the criminals are and where their support is coming from. It is very clear to most people that America is supporting Tutsi minority to dominate and exterminate the majority of people. All this is consistent with Kagame's declaration on Radio Rwanda three years ago that he will have no problem "emptying a drum of water using a bottle cap". America has lost respect and honor among Africans.

Along with the United States, South Africa has become a major supplier of weapons to Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. These weapons are now used in invading and killing innocent people in Congo and throughout the Great Lakes region. South Africa cannot be making blood money through sales of weapons to murderous regimes of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi who are killing Africans in Congo and at the same time try to mediate for peace. One cannot be against apartheid in South Africa and at the same time turn a blind eye on Tutsi minority sinister campaign to dominate the majority with savage brutality which surpasses that of apartheid South Africa. The defense for human freedom and majority rule cannot be on a pick and choose basis unless one is suffering from voluntary selective amnesia.

A CASE OF HYPOCRISY?

Presidents Moi of Kenya, Mkapa of Tanzania recently met with Museveni of Uganda and called for a withdraw of all foreign troops in Congo. Isn't it incredible that neither Moi nor Mkapa could tell Museveni to get out of Congo? It is either hypocrisy or ignorance when respected African leaders avoid condemning Uganda and Rwanda for having invaded Congo and demand their immediate withdraw. It is nauseating to see statesmen tolerating a notorious criminal like Museveni and permitting themselves to listen to his folly.

Inasmuch as that the people who want to topple Kabila are foreign invaders. Museveni had the audacity to advise Kabila to negotiate with those fighting to overthrow his regime. Uganda has more rebel groups who are fighting to overthrow his bad regime than Congo has. Museveni has repeatedly refused to negotiate with rebels. How can he prescribe a medicine which he himself has refused to take?

CONCLUSION

The Tutsi problem compounded by foreign corporate greed in the region will spare none unless it is handled honestly and decisively. What Angola, Namibia and Zimbabwe have done in Congo is what Zaire, Tanzania, Kenya should have done in Rwanda in 1990 when Uganda invaded. That could have saved over 4 million African lives. Many Kenyans are aware of the danger Museveni and Kagame pose for their country. Tanzania is even more infiltrated by Tutsis, according to internal sources. It is a matter of time for any country in the region to face the bitter reality. When UDC Newsletter predicted the invasion of Zaire and the current Tutsi hegemony some years back, some people rejected it because the writers were not white. That is what colonialism has done to Africans.

European corporations colonized Africa for the purpose of plundering her enormous resources, including human beings. More than a century later, American corporations are repeating what their European counter-parts did in the past. Tutsis, under the leadership of Museveni and Kagame, have submitted their clansmen to be used by neo-colonialists, doing the dirty work of murdering thousands of Africans with guns and money supplied by present day "corporate Lugards and Rhodes" . Colonial masters have always showered their stooges with praises, e.g., new breed of African leaders, the way a hunter praises his dog when it is chasing another fellow animal. Those who do not learn history are bound to repeat it.

There will be peace in Congo and throughout the Great Lakes region if and when United States stops fueling armed conflicts. African people (Tutsis and others) should not let themselves be used by foreign agents to carry out criminal activities on their behalf against fellow Africans. The old cliché of "the devil made me do it" is no excuse. People are responsible for their actions. Tutsis should remember that they are a minority in each of the countries. They cannot afford to be the hired murderers of African people in the region because the situation is bound to change.

African leaders have a special responsibility to think and act as Africans for the benefit of their own people. Those who may think that Rwanda's or Congo's tragedy cannot happen in their own territory better think again. What will they do when the escalating tragedy engulfs their own nations and none comes to their rescue?

Foreign aggression, corporate greed, racism, selfishness and apathy are serious problems. There are many more good persons. The unfortunate reality is that apathy has taken over many that not enough good ones are standing up for righteousness. As more and more good people hide in the shelter of apathy, it gives a chance for the work of evil people to prevail on the stage of human society causing incredible suffering to innocent peopl
