This is the right and fair decision that has been taken by the UK government.
Kagame's regime has forced Rwandan people to donate millions of dollars to create Agaciro Development Fund.
The money raised should be used for the budget support of his government. The money was donated by government institutions funded by UK Budget Support, rich and elite individuals who benefit most from the UK Budget Support because of the position they hold in Kagame's regime or the support they provide to the Rwandan Patriotic Front, the only political party allowed to operate freely in the country.
No-one knows the amount of the funds that were and continue to be raised , how it will be used and benefit the poor.
The millions of funds raised for the Agaciro Development Fund demonstrate that Kagame's regime does not need any budged support.

Thank you UK Government for this new policy about development assistance in Rwanda.
This new policy will ensure the poorest gets the support they need regardless whether they are Hutu or Tutsi. For the last 18 years, Kagame's regime has been using foreign aid by targeting the Tutsi community in poverty reduction programmes, education and other support in cash that benefit the Tutsi.
No more budget support to Rwandan Government to support military operations in Democratic Republic of Congo, to pay salaries of 80,000 Rwandan military and police personnel, Members of Parliament, human rights abuses, to run Rwandan Embassies abroad, to pay corrupted foreigners who work for Kagame's regime, and to prevent democratic and human rights in the country.
Rwanda should embark on family planning as it was before the genocide instead of hoping that foreign aid will pay for education of all Rwandan children. Rwandan people should have children they can educate and nourish. Since the UK government started to provide massive aid to Rwanda based on the size of the population and with UK commitment to provide assistance for children education, Kagame's government abandoned family planning policy that was in place before the genocide. This policy was scraped by Kagame to get more foreign aid from Britain. Despite massive aid that has been provided to Rwanda by UK for the last 18 years for education support and poverty reducation,the lever of poverty in rural areas has increased in rural areas and school children in Rwanda pay higher school fees than any other country in Africa.

We call on Kagame's regime to release all political prisoners, to launch dialogue with his political opponents and to allow political parties in exile and in Rwanda to operate freely.
