A Blog in Pictures: The Congo Crisis

Locations of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)

In 1994, the airplane of Rwandan President Habyarimana was shot down.
Though formally found "not guilty" by a French Court, defected members of his regime
say that then General Paul Kagame ordered the shooting of the plane.

Then General Paul Kagame - Leader of the Rebel Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF)
Leading a revolution against Habyarimana's Governmen in 1994. 

Sparing you the grotesque pictures - When the president's plane was shot down, it sparked the Rwandan Genocide.
Approximately 800,000 people were brutally killed.  

The UN sent in General Romeo Dallaire, but left him underfunded
and very little rules of engagement.  He was set up to fail.  He was forced to
watch innocent people be massacred.

Just as they do today, the UN did nothing more than babel while
innocent people died. 

After a provisional government, General Kagame became President Kagame.
To this day, he rules with an Iron Fist and is a known War Criminal.

Rwandan troops entered the DRC 2 times to "chase rebels."  How many
80 year old rebels do you know of? How many child rebels do you know of?
How many unarmed rebels do you know of?

Kagame's Army entered a Refugee camp in the DRC and massacred
refugees at will.  This happened many times.

Now, Kagame's Government is supporting the M23 Militia
in the DRC - The International Community is aware.
This is a Humanitarian Crisis
The UN does nothing.

By mentioning that BOTH Hutus and Tutsis died in this Genocide, I am guilty of Genocide Denial in Rwanda - a crime punishable by imprisonment - A "crime" which Opposition Leader, Victore Ingabire, to President Kagame was convicted and sentenced  to today.  If Kagame has nothing to hide, why is this a crime?
