    • Congo-Kinshasa: UN Report On Congo Lacking - Frazer

    I am a bit disappointed about Mrs Frazer approach. I have listened to her on many occasions in her reading of different situations in Africa and the Great Lakes region. It looks like always taking a different position from the majority has been something that has always paid in her career. For her, 8 millions people died in the Congo killed by their own Congolese brothers and yet, anyone in the world knows how Congolese people take life for sacred, something that people around them are taking advantage of. For her, the end justify the means: Rwanda is doing so well, they are the best users of aid in Africa. Of cause,if they are making so much money from the Democratic Republic of Congo's resources, When are they going to fail to meet the requirements of the aid received? Does she want us to be impressed about an empire built on people's bones? In Africa, we have always believed that when you have killed someone, you have in fact killed yourself no matter how good your situation looks today. Mrs Frazer, should go live a few weeks with the victims of the war in the DRC to better understand what the UN report is fundamentally about. I am certain that she will feel the difference between talking from an conditioned office somewhere in Europe and knowing that before I finish writing this comment a mother will be humiliated in from of her family and child is facing a savage military with a machete in his hand.

    Mrs. Frazer. Are you the one who under Bush Administration, while United States Under-Secretary for African Affairs, have allowed the situation in the Democratic of Congo to take dramatic proportions? Is it not that the UN report is a direct judgement on how you personally handled the situation in the Great Lake regions so that today you are trying to plead for a dead cause when the evidence of a large conspiracy that resulted in the death of 8 million of poor Congolese villagers is all out in the public?

    Jendayi frazer argument at this time, where it is overwhelming evident that Rwandan soldiers were part of the invasion of Goma by M 23, shows her complete disregard for the millions who died from kagame henchmen murderous hordes. Very sad indeed, nevertheless, the truth is slowly coming out Ms Frazier, kagame and Coe to the ICC, with kagame leading strongly.

    • Rwanda: Govt 'Disappointed' By Britain Aid Freeze

    Rwanda (kagame) really thinks that the rest of the world is stupid. You can deny all you want but it's obvious, the evidence shows rwanda's involvement. Museveni is as guilty as kagame. So far, 6 million people have died (many have been killed)in DR Congo because of kagame's envy and jealousy that he has towards his neighbouring country (DR Congo). Hundreds of women and children get raped daily by rwandan thugs. What happened to humanity? Koodos to UK and other countries for taking such action, hope other powerful countries that haven't done it, would do the same.

    Tell UK you don't need aid. You have agaciro, your own funding from Rwandan citizens. Surprising to hear that aid witholding is harming Rwanda.
