Breaking: BBC radio Kinyarwanda service suspended

By: Times Reporter
All  Kinyarwanda services on BBC radio has been suspended with immediate effect. The Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Agency (RURA) announced this in a statement today.
The Kinyarwanda services transmitted in Rwanda on BBC World Service frequency 93.9 FM. 
"Over the last three weeks, RURA has received complaints of incitement, hatred, divisionism, genocide denial and revision following the documentary aired by BBC on 1 October 2014 titled 'Rwanda-The Untold Story' and other violations of journalistic responsibility spanning a number of years", the statement read 
Today, hundreds of women waving placards, demonstrated against the BBC by marching from the KBC roundabout in Kimihurura to the BBC offices in Remera. The march, organized by Profemme Twese Hamwe and the National Women Council, aimed to show women's displeasure with the BBC's documentary.  
Carrying signs with slogans reading ' Rwandan Women cannot accept unprofessionalism by BBC', they marched first to the Parliament Building in Kimihurura before heading to the BBC offices. 
This follows a similar march on Tuesday by youth groups organized by AERG, an organization for students who survived the 1994 Genocide, and the Forum for University Students Unions.

Le Troisième Mandat de Louise Mushikiwabo à l'OIF : Entre Précédent et Principe Démocratique.

Le Troisième Mandat de Louise Mushikiwabo à l'OIF : Entre Précédent et Principe Démocratique. L'Alternance à l'OIF : Pourquoi un Troisième Mandat Fragilise la Crédibilité de la Francophonie. Introduction Louise Mushikiwabo veut un troisième mandat à la tête de l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. Son annonce, faite bien avant l'émergence d'autres candidats, rappelle une tactique familière en Afrique : affirmer qu'on a le soutien populaire sans jamais le prouver publiquement. La méthode est rodée. Des dirigeants africains l'utilisent depuis des décennies pour prolonger leur règne. Ils clament que "le peuple le demande" ou que "les partenaires soutiennent" cette reconduction. Aucune preuve formelle n'est nécessaire. L'affirmation devient réalité politique. Mais voilà le problème : la Francophonie prêche la démocratie, l'État de droit et l'alternance au pouvoir. Peut-elle tolérer en son sein ce qu...

Rubaya Mine Under USA’s Control: Kagame Has No Grounds to Object.

Rubaya Mine: Strategic Interests, Regional Conflict and the DRC–USA Cooperation Framework Rubaya mine, located in Masisi territory in North Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, is a Congolese resource. It was a Congolese resource before the M23 advanced on it, it remains a Congolese resource today, and it will remain a Congolese resource regardless of what any regional actor claims, implies or pursues. That is not a political position. It is a statement of international law and sovereign right. This foundational point must be stated plainly because it is frequently obscured in discussions about the conflict in eastern Congo. Debates about security narratives, mineral partnerships and geopolitical alignment risk creating a false impression that Rubaya's ownership or governance is somehow open to negotiation between external parties. It is not. The Democratic Republic of the Congo holds sovereign authority over its territory and its natural resources. N...

Goma Airport Should Function Under MONUSCO Control

Goma Airport Should Function Under MONUSCO Control Placing Goma International Airport under the operational supervision of MONUSCO while restoring full humanitarian and commercial functionality would represent a pragmatic compromise in the current crisis in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Such an arrangement would achieve three objectives simultaneously: Protect civilian and humanitarian access Address stated security concerns Reinforce Congolese sovereignty This is not a radical proposal. It is a stabilisation mechanism. Why MONUSCO Control Makes Strategic Sense MONUSCO is already mandated by the United Nations Security Council to support civilian protection and stabilisation in eastern Congo. It operates aircraft, maintains secure perimeters, and coordinates closely with humanitarian actors. Transferring temporary operational oversight of Goma airport to MONUSCO while allowing flights to resume would: Re...
