finding a durable solution to the African Great Lakes Region Crisis.
The right approach towards finding a durable solution to the African
Great Lakes Region Crisis.
Your Excellency the UN Secretary,
It is now almost two decades since the terrible situations of war
engulfing the African Great lakes Region has erupted caused by the attack from
Uganda by Rwandese refugees. This ethnic based war went too far to creating the
genocide against Rwandese Hutu and Tutsi ethnic groups in 1994 (and after) in
Rwanda, in the presence of the UN peace keeping force, UNAMIR which failed to
protect vulnerable people during and after the genocide. The aftermath of this
genocide also indicated the UN's ICTR (the International Criminal Tribunal for
Rwanda) failure to bring about social justice and reconciliation among Rwandese
people, as it was and is still so biased by only prosecuting suspected Hutu
criminals while the Tutsi ones of RPF are still terrorising the entire region.
Your Excellency the UN Secretary general, as the President of a Rwandese
major opposition political party embracing members from all ethnic groups, on
behalf of vulnerable Rwandese people from all tribes, and on behalf of all
Rwandese refugees around the world, I would like to inform the UN and
particularly the International Community that the currently unfolding Human
crisis in the Eastern DRC will never get a durable solution unless its root
cause is properly examined and tough decision are taken.
I believe President Kagame was right when he joked at the International
community's approach to the crisis at the press conference in Kigali in early
November this year, as he questioned how can someone deals with the urgent
humanitarian problem without addressing the root cause. To show how confident
and determined he was, He went on to say: "I can assure you if this approach
continues, six months down the road we will have another humanitarian
catastrophe like this one". His strong feeling of being an invulnerable
commander in chief and an ethnic liberator, his lack of human rights
understanding, all this influenced his thinking that any decision taken to
address the Congolese issue will play in his favour, considering the strong
financial, military and moral support he enjoyed and is still enjoying from
powerful nations around the world.
I believe this is the right place and the right time that the right
people need to carefully take the right decision without taking sides if we are
to tackle this ethnic issue and bring about permanent peace in this region. I
also believe the FDLR armed militia is a major barrier to lasting peace in the
region, but I don't believe in Kagame's military interference into DRC matters
as the later is willing to handle the issue diplomatically. I also recommend
that in order to enforce total justice, democracy and human rights in Rwanda in
order to convince Rwandese people in exile including different armed groups,
Kagame's government has no other option than accepting negotiations with all
the Rwandese opposition political parties operating in exile.
The UN together with the International Community have the responsibility
to put the pressure on the Rwandese government, particularly on President
Kagame to immediately stop spreading his aggressive behaviour in the region.
The UN and the International community behaviour of keeping a blind eye
and deaf ear towards the unsolved myth surrounding Rwandese genocide, and
Kagame's personal and his armed criminals implication in that genocide made him
feel that he is an untouchable powerful warrior in the region, and make him
defy any call to respect the human rights and his neighbouring countries
sovereignty. The DRC has suffered enough during the two Rwanda's incursions and
massacres of more than five million Congolese innocent civilian, and did not
deserve any other aggression by Rwanda, if not just the scratch in its scars
intended to test the level of its perseverance, which of course has the limit.
Your Excellency the UN Secretary General, I believe that the UN and the
International Community have very realistic examples and experience form
different wars around Africa, such as the most recent one between Liberia and
Sierra-Leone. Should Charles Taylor's "Bloody Diamond" issue had been
approached with a blind eye and deaf year, how do you think Sierra Leonean and
Liberian people would be at the moment? Why then should innocent people from
the African Great lakes Region suffer from the "Bloody Coltan" by the blood
thirsty Kagame, his criminal gangs and allies? The Region is not being
destroyed by these Rwandese trained and sponsored terrorists but by all of us
who just watch and fail to react. I assure you, your Excellency, that millions
of Rwandese and Congolese innocent lives that perished and still perishing in
front of our open eyes will never go unpunished.
As a Rwandese freedom, justice and democracy advocate, my message to the
International community is that the concerned people from the African Great
lakes Region particularly all the survivors of the Rwandese genocide will never
give up the fight for fair justice, for this is the place and time that the
tide is soon going to turn. The International community's tolerance of Rwandese
government's evil behaviour towards its neighbours does and will never solve
the region's suffering, but will instead encourage regional dictatorship and
suppression of democratic institutions, therefore putting millions of innocent
lives at risk such as what is currently unfolding in the eastern part of the
DRC.
Banyarwanda political party, on behalf of Rwandese people and in
collaboration with Rwandese neighbours and other regional partners, is
genuinely happy to request you, your Excellency, to stand firmly on finding the
real, suitable and durable solution for the entire region, rather than focusing
on individual (ethnic group or country) and/or personal gains in the region.
Hopping my plight to be put under your consideration, your Excellency, I
believe that your self styled sense of humour, your mediation effort shown
recently during your visit to the region, plus your mandate to global human
rights, social justice and democracy will inevitably bring about right results
to desperate people in need of lasting peace and stability around the African
Great lakes Region.
Yours Sincerely,
Done in Brussels, 10th november 2008
Rutayisire Boniface,
President of Banyarwanda political party.
