[RwandaLibre] Are tourists subject to be arrested in Uganda's cities and safari parks?

 

WORLD BANK, NORWAY, DENMARK AND THE NETHERLANDS SUSPENDING LOANS TO UGANDA

Are tourists subject to be arrested in Uganda's cities and safari parks?

Feb 28, 2014
Not only the tourism world is outraged about the Middle Age and nazi
style approach by the Government of the East African Nation of Uganda.

The World Bank today suspended a 90 US$ million loan package to
Uganda. Three European Countries: Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands
are the first countries to suspend or freeze development aid packages
for Uganda for approximately 25$ and the United States of America is
reviewing USAID funds for Uganda.

In the meantime Uganda's authorities are on a witch hunt to detect gay
elements among their population and visiting tourists, so they can be
locked up for life.

Many in the travel and tourism industries are urging international
organizations such as the UNWTO and WTTC to take a stand. The safety
of visiting tourist and the tourism industry is directly threatened by
this law that endangers innocent visitors to be arrest just for a
suspicion touring safari parks in Uganda and travel advisories are in
place. Even more so, a hotel front desk clerk is facing jail time for
not reporting tourists that may be gay.

The World Bank still has $1.56 billion worth of projects in Uganda but
World Bank president Jim Yong Kim has signaled the bank will take a
harder line with countries that have discriminatory laws.

A statement said: At the World Bank Group, we will have a full
internal discussion over the coming months about discrimination more
broadly and how it would affect our projects and our gay and lesbian
staff members. My view is that the fight to eliminate all
institutionalized discrimination is an urgent task.

Uganda's national currency the Shilling has lost value since the
passing of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill.

Rwanda: Is Evode Uwizeyimana a prodigal son or Hollywood Actor?


The Untold Stories: Is Evode Uwizeyimana a prodigal son or Hollywood Actor?

Evode Uwizeyimana aiming for the top job

Watching an Empire Program on Aljazeera TV hosted by Marwan Bishara, he describes Hollywood as the world's place where Americans' perception of the US and its culture is shaped; you don't fail to see Me Evode playing the same role. According to Mr. Marwan, Hollywood is shaping people's perceptions of the US and world history.

The Parable of the Lost Son in Luke 15:11-32 where Jesus illustrated how sinners can come back to God

"There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them.  "Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

Therefore the long trek from Rwanda to Canada might have been too long for Me Evode to spend what he had and he is genuinely playing the prodigal son to come back and ask for forgiveness as he appeared yesterday in most of the Rwandan media.  On the other hand Me Evode knows very well how the Media shaped him and made him a movie actor in the legal theater. Indeed, Evode might be playing the same tactics to induce the appetite of the RPF to renewal his contract which is now 3 months away to expire or to get a permanent employment.

RDI members with Evode Uwizeyimana prior to his departure

Whichever way, Evode is playing a cat and mouth game, he is being watched by his game mates and at a right place and time he will never know what will hit him.  There is a saying that If you are 50 and you keep reasoning like somebody who is 20, then the 30 years are not only wasted but leaves a lot to be desired. Does Me Evode reflect on the history and may be the path of RPF on the journey of consolidating power? A good example is a testimony of Mr Abdul Ruzibiza on how mistakes by both the Rwandan Government and the RPF led to the Rwandan genocide of 1994. Ruzibiza having narrated in his book Rwanda: L'Histoire Secréte and later tried to retract what he had said both in his book and in the international media like BBC and VOA ,he forgot that he was being watched by his play mates in the Kigali playing field.

Cat Mouse game

No sooner had he played the games of cat and mouse than the co-players on the opposite side had exterminated him, the rest is history. Does Me Evode remember the way he described the entire RPF leadership as "a gang of bandits" who disregard the rule of law? Indeed, he said that it is one of the reasons that made him leave Rwanda when he was a judge. On one occasion in the case of the brother (Rugigana Ngabo) of the former Rwandan army Chief Gen. Kayumba Nyamwasa he described the Rwandan legal system as people who are controlled by the remote control from the President's Office who will only use political reason rather than the legal reason.

RPF establishment knows very well the venom of Me Evode he injected in the Rwandan people which is had to treat, besides the status quo of the violations of Human Rights, lack of judicial independence, extra-judicial killings, suffocation of the media, and incarceration of the political opponents of the regime in Kigali. Despite the rhetoric of repentance by Me Evode, he defiantly defended his opposition to the regime in Kigali, he argued that his position was constructive but he quickly added that if it was not well perceived by (RPF) then he begs forgiveness.  This sounds defiance not only to the people who delve into the Hollywood theatrical staged political movies but also to the RPF who knows very well how dangerous  people or those perceived to be should be given the dose of eternality. But the History of RPF is clear; it's not necessarily what you do but what you are perceived to be, the likes of Muvunanyambo, one of the soldiers released from the prison   during the Ruhengeri attack by the RPF in 1991 or Cpt. Frank Tega one of the RPF comrades were killed not for what they had done but what they were perceived to do.

This is just a tip of iceberg, but as we approach the end of the tenure of the Kagame regime many people will disappear especially those perceived to harbor butterfly colors or those perceived to switch sides like billboards, in fact many political assassinations of  many Rwandan politicians like Emmanuel Gapyisi, a prominent political leader from the south and vice president of the MDR party at the time  and other  selected murders  nationwide  like businessmen, mayors, parliamentarians, and leading up to the assassination of Gatabazi, Bucyana, and finally President Habyarimana are a vindication of what is waiting for many politicians who not  only oppose the RPF regime but those perceived  to be potentially  capable to give RPF and Kagame a bloody nose in the elections of 2017.

Whether Evode is playing the prodigal son or just opportunistically trying to reap in both fields remains to be seen, but what is clear though,   he is being monitored every inch of his movements and Jack Nziza or Dan Munyuza at any given opportunity would they perceive him to be a potential threat he will be dealt in the same way many Rwandans have been dealt with.

[RwandaLibre] Bill Clinton Regrets Rwanda Now (But Not So Much In 1994)

 

Bill Clinton Regrets Rwanda Now (But Not So Much In 1994)

By Dana Hughes
@dana_hughes
Feb 28, 2014 5:06pm
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images

One of the newly released Clinton Library documents shows an
administration scrambling to answer criticism of its handling of the
1994 genocide in Rwanda -- a tiny African nation where nearly one
million people were killed in the span of less than two months.

The two-page memo from September 1994 -- the genocide was in April and
May of that year -- featured talking points Clinton special assistant
Tara Sonenshine drafted as preparation for an upcoming Washington Post
interview with the president. The memo acknowledged that the interview
was likely to be critical of Clinton's stance on Rwanda, blaming the
failed "Black Hawk Down" intervention in Somalia the year before.

In the memo, Sonenshine suggests the president refute that the U.S.
experience in Somalia hindered his administration's Rwanda response.

"If anything, this is a case where our experiences in Somalia did NOT
prevent us from doing the right thing," said the memo. "If we were
truly spooked by Somalia we would have turned away entirely, instead
of committing 4,000 American troops and spending $500 million to give
the people of Rwanda humanitarian help and a breathing space. We put
Somalia behind us and moved into Rwanda in full force."

The memo also suggests the president argue that the United States took
appropriate and swift action in Rwanda after it was clear there was
genocide, and that the U.S. was one of many countries who authorized
the United Nations to pull out of the country right before the
atrocities began.

In short, says the memo, the U.S. "did the right thing" and shares no
responsibility for allowing the genocide to occur.

Clinton himself echoed these sentiments in comments to the press a few
months earlier where he said he had "done all he could do" to help the
people of Rwanda, pointing out the United States had provided 40
percent of the total aid given to help the refugees from the conflict.

"We have worked on this for months. We are doing the best we can. We
are going to do more," he said.

But in the years since, the former President Clinton has called the
failure to intervene in Rwanda one of his biggest regrets.

"I do feel a lifetime responsibility," he told ABC in 2008, while on a
trip to the country. "I feel like a lot of people ... had something to
do with it."

In March 2013 Clinton again talked Rwanda, when he told CNBC that he
believes had the U.S. intervened, even marginally, at the beginning of
the genocide at least 300,000 people might have been saved.

Indeed, Evode might be playing the same tactics to induce the appetite of the RPF to renewal his contract which is now 3 months away to expire or to get a permanent employment.

Whichever way, Evode is playing a cat and mouth game, he is being watched by his game mates and at a right place and time he will never know what will hit him.  There is a saying that If you are 50 and you keep reasoning like somebody who is 20, then the 30 years are not only wasted but leaves a lot to be desired. Does Me Evode reflect on the history and may be the path of RPF on the journey of consolidating power? A good example is a testimony of Mr Abdul Ruzibiza on how mistakes by both the Rwandan Government and the RPF led to the Rwandan genocide of 1994. Ruzibiza having narrated in his book Rwanda: L'Histoire Secréte and later tried to retract what he had said both in his book and in the international media like BBC and VOA ,he forgot that he was being watched by his play mates in the Kigali playing field.

Cat Mouse game

No sooner had he played the games of cat and mouse than the co-players on the opposite side had exterminated him, the rest is history. Does Me Evode remember the way he described the entire RPF leadership as "a gang of bandits" who disregard the rule of law? Indeed, he said that it is one of the reasons that made him leave Rwanda when he was a judge. On one occasion in the case of the brother (Rugigana Ngabo) of the former Rwandan army Chief Gen. Kayumba Nyamwasa he described the Rwandan legal system as people who are controlled by the remote control from the President's Office who will only use political reason rather than the legal reason.

RPF establishment knows very well the venom of Me Evode he injected in the Rwandan people which is had to treat, besides the status quo of the violations of Human Rights, lack of judicial independence, extra-judicial killings, suffocation of the media, and incarceration of the political opponents of the regime in Kigali. Despite the rhetoric of repentance by Me Evode, he defiantly defended his opposition to the regime in Kigali, he argued that his position was constructive but he quickly added that if it was not well perceived by (RPF) then he begs forgiveness.  This sounds defiance not only to the people who delve into the Hollywood theatrical staged political movies but also to the RPF who knows very well how dangerous  people or those perceived to be should be given the dose of eternality. But the History of RPF is clear; it's not necessarily what you do but what you are perceived to be, the likes of Muvunanyambo, one of the soldiers released from the prison   during the Ruhengeri attack by the RPF in 1991 or Cpt. Frank Tega one of the RPF comrades were killed not for what they had done but what they were perceived to do.

This is just a tip of iceberg, but as we approach the end of the tenure of the Kagame regime many people will disappear especially those perceived to harbor butterfly colors or those perceived to switch sides like billboards, in fact many political assassinations of  many Rwandan politicians like Emmanuel Gapyisi, a prominent political leader from the south and vice president of the MDR party at the time  and other  selected murders  nationwide  like businessmen, mayors, parliamentarians, and leading up to the assassination of Gatabazi, Bucyana, and finally President Habyarimana are a vindication of what is waiting for many politicians who not  only oppose the RPF regime but those perceived  to be potentially  capable to give RPF and Kagame a bloody nose in the elections of 2017.

Whether Evode is playing the prodigal son or just opportunistically trying to reap in both fields remains to be seen, but what is clear though,   he is being monitored every inch of his movements and Jack Nziza or Dan Munyuza at any given opportunity would they perceive him to be a potential threat he will be dealt in the same way many Rwandans have been dealt with.

[RwandaLibre] U. S. State Department official pledges energy investment in Rwanda

 

U. S. State Department official pledges energy investment in Rwanda

English.news.cn 2014-02-28 07:20:34 

KIGALI, Feb. 27(Xinhua) -- A U. S. State Department official is in
Rwanda to seek investment opportunities, especially in energy.

Elizabeth Littlefield, head of the U. S. State Department Overseas
Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), arrived in the East African
country Thursday, promising to woo more investors for power
development, the top challenge and opportunity in her eyes.

OPIC provides U. S. investors with debt financing, political risk
insurance and support for private equity investment funds.

The power sector, she said, is clearly the biggest challenge and the
biggest opportunity. "So, we see investors that are interested to
invest in hydropower and geothermal, and even in wind, solar, and
biogas," she told the media in the Rwandan capital Kigali.

Rwanda's power production stands at 110 megawatts with only 16 percent
of the population having access to electricity.

The country targets to produce at least 563 megawatts by 2018 from
various energy sources, including methane gas, peat, solar and biogas.

Apart from the Rwandan energy sector, American entrepreneurs have also
engaged in coffee and tea processing, forestry and agriculture
investment management, and in humanitarian services.

OPIC has invested 26 million U.S. dollars in five projects in Rwanda,
including the tea processing and exporting company Sorwathe and Rwanda
Trading Company, a coffee processing group.

Rwandan Finance Minister Amb. Claver Gatete said his country's
environment is open to investors and encouraged OPIC to keep
supporting investments into the country.

Littlefield, who has toured different companies with American
interests in Rwanda, praised the progress made by the African country
in improving investment environment. "We know that this country is
doing extremely well on all the indicators of being a good environment
to bring investors in," she said.

She described Rwanda as a place where many countries throughout the
region look to how to create a One-Stop-Shop in getting business
licenses and other services.

[RwandaLibre] Is Evode Uwizeyimana a prodigal son?

 

The Untold Stories: Is Evode Uwizeyimana a prodigal son?

http://www.therwandan.com/ki/files/2012/08/RDI-300x200.jpg
Evode Uwizeyimana aiming for the top job

Watching an Empire Program on Aljazeera TV hosted by Marwan Bishara,
he describes Hollywood as the world's place where Americans'
perception of the US and its culture is shaped; you don't fail to see
Me Evode playing the same role. According to Mr. Marwan, Hollywood is
shaping people's perceptions of the US and world history.

The Parable of the Lost Son in Luke 15:11-32 where Jesus illustrated
how sinners can come back to God

"There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father,
'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property
between them. "Not long after that, the younger son got together all
he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth
in wild living. After he had spent everything, there was a severe
famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went
and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to
his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods
that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

Therefore the long trek from Rwanda to Canada might have been too long
for Me Evode to spend what he had and he is genuinely playing the
prodigal son to come back and ask for forgiveness as he appeared
yesterday in most of the Rwandan media. On the other hand Me Evode
knows very well how the Media shaped him and made him a movie actor in
the legal theater. Indeed, Evode might be playing the same tactics to
induce the appetite of the RPF to renewal his contract which is now 3
months away to expire or to get a permanent employment.
