PRESIDENT KAGAME’S AMBITIONS MUST BE KEPT IN CHECK

There has never been an ambitious and power hungry President in Africa like Rwandan President Paul Kagame. He is an astute, strategist, and good military leader with some unchecked ambitions that should worry regional and indeed the whole of Africa. The most worrying thing is that if he is left unchecked, he will turn into a new Mobutu Sese Seko of Africa.

The guy is a planting of Neo-Western Imperialism at the moment in Africa for their own strategic reasons just to be used another day. The man is a ruthless dictator who brooks no nonsense in his homeland. He eliminates his opponents both inside and outside of Rwanda. Even though he can be credited for bringing some semblance of peace in Rwanda. He’s feared and not loved inside Rwanda.

The guy has managed to buy some of the most expensive public relations firms from the USA to spruce and build up his somewhat very rotten image. There is nothing revolutionary about this man except that he is the right candidate of a commander of counterrevolutionaries on the continent at the moment

The imperialists have and are currently investing a lot in his brand Kagame. One has to just read about him in western media. You hear titles and accolades being given to him like “The most promising African leader” “the most visionary African leader in Africa”, “Pan Africanist etc”, and many others, and the truth is Kagame is none of all these. The guy is one of the most dangerous dictators that western imperialism is currently grooming.

We get shocked when we see African leaders busy queuing to go to Rwanda and pay homage to Kagame. Inside Rwanda, many of his opposition leaders are either eliminated or languishing in jail. Please stop calling Paul Kagame a Pan-Africanist, he is nowhere near that accolade. Its an insult to call counterrevolutionaries Pan-Africanist. We know who should be called Pan-Africanist

A few years ago, we too well know how he was used together with the Ugandan army by western imperialism to destabilise the Democratic Republic of Congo when his Army was used to invade the country in order to create a pretext for looting the mineral wealth of the Congo. Thanks to the SADC forces made up of Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Angola who came to the rescue and repelled their advances in what became known as the African war.

Two days ago, the DRC expelled the Rwandese Ambassador to that country accusing Rwanda of interfering in the internal affairs of the country. The DRC accuses Rwanda of supporting the M23 rebels a movement mainly comprised of Congolese Tutsis fighting the Congolese government in the Eastern DRC. As we speak, the city of Kiwanja near Goma in the eastern DRC has just fallen to the M23 rebels supported by the Rwandan Army.

What the world and Africa does not know, is the fact that the war in that part of the country has actually escalated, no one wants to talk about it. The international media is certainly aware of it, but they won’t say anything in order to protect their blue-eyed boy President Kagame who happens to have the war criminal Tony Blair the former British Prime Minister as his advisor. What can one expect as advice from this British war criminal?

As we speak, their troops (Rwandese and M23) are busy plundering and looting the minerals of the DRC and raping women and the girl child while the so-called international community looks the other way. We urge the African Union (AU) and indeed the United Nations to investigate these allegations and stop Rwanda from invading its neighbour’s territory. Let peace prevail in the DRC. Aluta Continua!
