France, a haven for Genocide fugitives?

By James Karuhanga

France, which maintained close ties with the genocidal regime in Rwanda, has been accused of blocking justice with regard to the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.

Agathe Kanziga Habyarimana

The criticism comes days after a French court ordered a local administrator to grant a permanent residence to Agathe Kanziga, the widow of former president Juvenal Habyarimana.

Kanziga is among several prominent members of the former Rwandan regime who are wanted back home on genocide charges.

The Versailles Court of Appeal ordered the Prefect of Essonne to issue Kanziga with a residence permit after a long legal battle.

Over the past few years, the former First Lady, one of the top Genocide fugitives living in France, has repeatedly been arrested and released by French authorities, under circumstances that have baffled rights groups and French citizens well versed with events of 1994.

Kanziga is suspected of being a key figure in the creation of a clique of extremists, Akazu, which hatched and executed the Genocide plan.

French national Sharon Courtoux, says that: “For France to be home to so many Génocidaires, it is primarily because the French government at the time [1994] had strong ties with the Habyarimana regime. Many former Rwandan officials studied in France and kept in touch. And then, there are the links established by the Catholic Church. Father (Wenceslas) Munyeshyaka was picked up in the Congo in 1994, during a visit there by French bishops.”

Kwa kawaida wanawake wanafikia kilele (mwisho wa utamu wa ngono) kati ya dakika ishirini na saa moja, yaani kwa kifupi inawachukua muda mrefu sana hali inayopelekea mpenzi mvivu kuchoka na ufanyaji wake utakuwa wa “ovyo” hali itakayo kufanya wewe kuishiwa na hamu ya kuendelea. Pamoja na kuchelewa huko ambako kunatokana na utofauti wetu kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke lakini nakumbuka hapo nyuma nilikutana na wanawake 2 waliokuwa ndani ya ndoa na wamezaa lakini hawajawahi kabisa kujua utamu wa tendo hilo alimaharufu kama “kufanya mapenzi”. Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja. Lakini kwa nini basi baadhi yao tu ndio wafike kileleni na wengine was...

Mushikiwabo to UN: Enhance civilian protection

By Eugene Kwibuka Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation has urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to invest more energy in the prevention of conflicts for better protection of civilians living in conflict-torn areas. Rwanda’s Foreign minister, Louise Mushikiwabo Louise Mushikiwabo made the call during an open debate on the protection of civilians in armed conflict which the UNSC held in New York on Tuesday. “Rwanda’s core message today is that enhancing the protection of civilians in armed conflict requires action before a conflict starts. The proliferation of non-state armed groups makes civilian protection both more urgent, and harder to achieve,” she said. For better protection of civilians in armed-conflict areas, the minister emphasised the need to increase investments in professionalising the military and police forces through adequate training. “Only when the leadership of armed forces shares the international...
