Remembering the victims of the Rwandan genocide is undoubtedly a noble action.
Every year, in April, the Rwandan Government invites everybody to remember the genocide against Tutsis. It is on purpose that Kagame’s government emphasizes the “genocide against Tutsis” as it is labelled in this invitation of the Rwandan High Commissioner in the UK, ignoring that there was at the same time a “genocide against Hutus”.

It beggars belief that until now, the Dean of Southwark who conducts the commemoration service in London every year, continues playing a such divisive and dangerous game and doesn’t ask relevant question about the Hutu victims of the Rwandan genocide which, as evidence shows, started in october 1990 and went far beyond 1994.
At this occasion, I urge Kagame’s Western supporters to think again and cease the double standard game. What interest do they really have in playing the game of Kagame’s RPF whose actions in Rwanda and Congo have claimed lives of more than those claimed by Hitler’s Nazi?

This year’s commemoration service should be used to remember ALL THE VICTIMS of the Rwandan tragedy, without frustrating one ethnic group in the Rwandan community. Those advocating for reconciliation know very well that reconciliation won’t be possible unless the whole truth is said and dealt with. This year’s commemoration events should be another opportunity for individuals, states and institutions to push Kagame to recognise and respect the value of life and humanity and to make significant steps towards the protection and upholding of the fundamental human rights in Rwanda.
