In an article published on the 4th of this month in the Kenyan newspaper The Standard, renowned law professor, Yash Pal Ghai claims he is telling his readers "what they don't tell you about Rwanda."

Dear brother, we are already tired by hearing the lies form those who support the government of Rwanda; especially, when the truth comes up. The professor (Yash Pal Ghai), you are referring to, is a professional on his field and a well respected and trusted man. People need access to a comprehensive insight about your country, insight they rely on to make critical decisions. In case of Rwanda, this has never happened. The writer wrote “Naturally the new government in Kigali could not sit around and wait for annihilation and so took the fight to the FAR and Interahamwe, clobbering them in the camp and liberating thousands and thousands of refugees to trek back to Rwanda where each and every one went to their villages or towns.” You agree with his report. Before you put something down, please remember your audience. Dear Shaka, please recall that in 1996 and 1998 your government (Rwanda) denied publicly that their forces are not operating in Congo while they have been killing millions and driving million in exile. The massacre of Makobola, Tingi-Tingi in Congo and their following outcome are some of the example. The war in Congo and its consequences, the rapes of Congolese women and spread of HIV committed to these innocent women and girls, and other unthinkable brutalities committed by the Rwandan troops are the work of your government in the region. In light of the truth the darkness disappears. Professor Yash will neither be the first nor the last to speak up about the truth and how the Rwandan regime has in Rwanda. Rwanda needs to change its behavior and rewrite its history, otherwise, the truth will be taught. The findings of professor Yash Pal Ghai are compelling.
I read Prof. Gash's compelling indictment of the current Kigali Govt. I think he did not do an objective reserach, he had research statements with exclamatory marks!!!!! and not reserach questions. He reviewed the only literature that could support his agenda, quoting selectively from Romeo Dallaire's book so he could conclude that 'Kagame killed even Tutisi if it suited him' He says that Rwanda went to Congo to loot and kill refugees! How can you hold a gun in one hand and a spade to dig minerals in another? Why Congolese who sit on those 'vast resources' arent rich? They cant tap the resources, so how can a soldier on combant field have time, equipment and technology to explot resources? This is propaganda and a very respected professor reviewed propaganda lieterature instead making an independent research. Killing hutus: How about the camps, which were full of armed soldiers, who were smoking congolese tutusis out of their hills and waging cross-border campaign of terror into Rwanda? Why didnt international community disarm them? Why didnt the good professor make criticisms vs the prevailing camp threat to sustainability of Rwanda? The professor sounded angrly, subjective and abusive instead of doing a balanced work
Wow! is this all you can say brother. Who does not know that Rwandan soldiers and Ugandans fought for the control of minerals in Kisangani. The world is not stupid, it is a matter of time and things will change. Everybody is fighting to subverse the situation.Things are changing, in the west you rely upon, people are starting to see what you are capable of in all the areas. No body followed you in Uganda where u were refugees for I don,t care how long. How many times your own country was attacked from Uganda and no body followed you in Uganda. Why follow the other refugees in other parts of the world. You are so special and so cunning that you have succeeded to cry, sell the genocide and at the same moment doing despicable killings in Makobola, Tingi Tingi and so forth. Watch the changes in the world, Peace and Justice will prevail, people will pay. It is a matter of time brother Rwanda is a case apart, an unbelievable country in terms of silent killings, why do you guys hate each other like that, What is wrong with you?, Is it a virus or what. I don't care any way as long as you stay in your country and not impose your problems to others. Good Luck NON RWANDAN
Surely, saying that the RPF government is cunning and selling Genocide for itself is an insult, imagine the same persons you are talking of most of their relatives perished during the Genocide , they are the people who stopped Genocide, they apprehended the genociders into DRC to make sure that the remaining Tutsi population in Congo should not all perish in the hands of killers then someone like you - just start saying like that , if you were to be in Rwanda you could have committed genocide too , shame on you with your evil ideas which cannot promote peace.
You know the more people come to different forums with such idiotic reasoning and denial of some facts (like the Rwandan Genocide for example), the more even a would be sympathetic ear to their cause will turn away in disgust.
There are some facts that are outstanding. 1. The Genocide against the Tutsis happened. 2. The perpetrators of that genocide escaped to the Congo taking with them millions as hostages and with a view of re-organising themselves to launch a counter attack. 3. The conquering Rwandan Patriotic Army pursued them into the Congo (which was too weak militarily to neutralise them. 4. The present Rwandan regime no longer has a military presence in the Congo after pressure from the international community. 5. Presently the remnants of the defeated genocidal forces are wreaking havoc in the DRC where they have caused intolerable suffering to millions.
WONDER! DEAR WORLD. I am still wondering when will Rwandans accept criticism. Anybody saying something contrary to their lies, they always find ways to twist things. Why don,t you accept criticism?, Were you or are you holier than holy? Who does not know what happened in that country , either you guys or Hutus commited massacres, you killed each other and you guys in Rwanda continue, you pursue people in Congo, killed Ugandans in Congo for minerals. History will catch with your authorities, be careful. Criticims taken positively help build. The game is yours, do not hurt yourselves though. NON RWANDAN US
