Dear All,
Paul Rusesabagina may be the biggest in modern history but I think also
that he has some talents.
Paul Rusesabagina visited 75 university and colleges in the USA during the
period 2006-2007 he was a key speaker a 35 international institutions during
the same period.We have learn that every speech he made command an honorary
between $5000 and $10000 each plus airfare and accomodation.Invariably the
theme of his SPEECH remain the same¨THE GENOCIDE IN RWANDA¨everywhere he goes
he is greeted as the SAVIOR OF TUTSIS(What IRONIE!!!).What is even amazing he
has embarked on demonizing the Government of Rwanda at the same time lately.He
has set up FOUNDATION to raise money and help the genocide survivors.We have
learned that the money raised is actualy channeled to the INTRAHAMWES-FDLR to
support their cause and buy more weapons so the can go back in Rwanda. and
finish the Job.
His last pull in AKRON,OHIO last week was even a better try.To a journalist
who asked him why President KAGAME was saying that him RUSESABAGINA was not
realy a Hero,RUSESABAGINA respondeed that President KAGAME was not inside the
Hotel MILLE COLLINES during the Genocide.He said that he should start
consulting some of his peoples in the government who were given shelter by
RUSESABAGINA himself during the genocide.He named particulary the Prime
Minister BERNARD MAKUZA.
True enough!I have never heard any official statement from BERNARD MAKUZA
regarding his stay at the HOTEL MILLE COLLINES.For the past years I have
monitored everything regarding RUSESABAGINA.I can state that BERNARD MAKUZA has
remained very quite during the whole time.
It says a Lot!!!!!

Paul Rusesabagina, the imposter humanitarian has set up a foundation called
Hotel Rwanda Rusesabagina Foundation (HRRF). This organization ostensibly aims
at providing assistance to the Genocide survivors. However, the foundation is
as big a hoax as the concept defining Rusesabagina, as a humanitarian.
It may well provide Rusesabagina and his kin with assistance, but one has yet
to meet a survivor of Genocide in Rwanda the foundation has helped.
GA_googleFillSlot("AllAfrica_Story_Inset");
In any case, everybody knows there has never been such a thing as Hotel
Rwanda in the manner Rusesabagina portrays it. It is a fictitious Hollywood
creation, designed as an attention grabbing sales gimmick. Rusesabagina, by
naming his organisation Hotel Rwanda foundation has decided to walk the very
fine line between reality and fraud. Hotel Rwanda the movie is fiction premised
on pure concoctions aimed at self enrichment by the imposter humanitarian. What
is objectionable is the attempt by Rusesabagina and others force it down our
throats as reality in their quest for serving their egos and other personal
interests.
One has only to consult the organisation's website just to see how the man is
a wicked liar. He wickedly plays with the website visitors' emotions by
presenting them a desperate situation in Rwanda based on unsubstantiated
numbers and percentages: "With as many as 500,000 orphans, Rwanda has one of
the highest per-capita orphan populations in the world. Many of the children
born of women raped during the Genocide have grown up with no fathers and now
live on the edges of society.
They lack access to basic food, clothing, or shelter and they quickly fall
prey to those seeking to exploit their condition to perpetuate further racial
conflict and unrest," he rambles on.
And in a self aggrandizement he tries to sell the moon to his audience by
giving out false promises he knows he does not intend to fulfill:
"To fight this cycle, HRRF provides financial assistance for Rwanda's
orphans. Through the help of orphanages and schools in highly devastated areas
within Rwanda, HRRF will grant funds to administer appropriate services
focusing on education, vocational training and other social support
mechanisms," he continues.
From there he announces the colors: "To give life. To give help. To give
hope. People need resources. Help us help ourselves." And he goes on praising
himself with no trace of humility: "That is how I started helping people," he
said while speaking in Dimnent Memorial Chapel some time back. "But so far,
vulnerable Genocide survivors have received no single penny of the amassed
funds from the foundation."
His statement is only a move of giving false statistics in order to amass
money for his personal interests as he unashamedly tries to raise his
popularity based on crafty humanitarianism appeals.
He has been touring the world fundraising for this so called charity of his.
However, there is no single record where this foundation has assisted in any
way any of the orphans and widows in Rwanda. As a matter of fact, let us recall
here that several funding institutions have been asking Rusesabagina to account
for the money they gave him for his so called charities.
Indeed, from reliable sources, for the second time on May 4 2007, the Conrad
Hilton Foundation requested Hotel Rwanda Rusesabagina Foundation to give
details on how the $100,000 grant given to them was used. The previous request
had been done in December 2006 and no answer to that effect has ever been
submitted.
They also rightly suspect that the money raised might end up buying weapons
to destabilize Rwanda and the entire Great Lakes Region again, now that he has
embarked on a futile attempt to win political power. And as if this was not bad
enough, in his various speeches and presentations, Rusesabagina has launched a
systematic campaign of negation of the Tutsi Genocide preferring to use such
ambiguous terms like, "war crimes," "terrible massacres," indeed in total
contradiction even of the message given the Hotel Rwanda fiction movie.
This indeed is characteristic and typical of many Genocide sympathisers and
perpetrators. He has gone on to misrepresent the Rwandan Genocide and history;
yet he is fully aware of the systematic plans of extermination directed against
the Tutsi right from the 1959-1966, 1973, culminating into the 1994 holocaust.
It clearly does not square with logic that the "hero" who saved innocent lives
has of late turned into the official mouth piece and spokesperson for the
ideology of negation, blackmail and malicious propaganda.

That he should use his underserved fame to enrich himself and his kin spread
misinformation and incite sentiments of divisionism and hate among Rwandans, is
however not to surprising to those that know Rusesabagina, the person, before
1994 and during the Genocide.
He has dined with and even defended many renowned genocidaires like General
Augustine Bizimungu, now undergoing trial in Arusha, because he shares the same
ideology with them and only never killed those that were in the Mille Colline
Hotel with him because he was extorting them.
Even though against the written instructions of the owners of the Hotel (a
copy of which we have) and as attested by the then manager of the SN Brussels
himself.
