Rwanda’s High Commissioner to Kenya, Martin Ngoga, on Friday, presented his letters of credence to the President of Kenya, William Samoei Ruto.
Ruto also applauded the existing long and cordial relations between his country and

This is a procedure to get a Member to Chair when the Speaker isn't around. EALA doesn't have Deputy Speaker or Permanent Panel of Chairpersons. No cause for alarm.
UPDATE: Rwandan Speaker of EALA Martin Ngoga is not at work. Members yesterday decided to replace him with Burundian Leontine Nzeyimana. She trounced Rwandan Fatima Ndangiza (27 votes Vs 18). Nzeyimana will be Speaker until

#EuropeanParliament
on whose floor you are standing, recognize rights of Victims of Violent Crimes as " a standard of criminal Justice". It is out of order that Victims have no place in your statement and Considerations.
Rwanda's arrest of prominent critic Paul Rusesabagina is an enforced disappearance. He should immediately be given access to counsel of his choice, confidential consultations, regular contact with his family, and a fair chance to challenge his detention.
When a defendant willingly decides not to attend ( participate) in his trial, Court proceeds with his Lawyers. If they also pull out, Court appoints duty Lawyers to represent the defendant to the end ( Barayagwiza Vs Prosecutor
#ICTR
).
Rusesabagina tells the court he has decided to pull out from trial while saying: "Following the dismissal of my request to have more time to prepare trial, it is clear I don't expect a fair trial. Therefore, I want to inform the court that I will not attend the hearing anymore"
This is a Political directive NOT a suggestion to further Judicial recourse. Which system would have a standard procedure to grant this? The call undermines same norms you are purpoting to defend. Attack on norms is abuse of Political platform
@EuropeanParl
The trial my fellow countryman Paul
#Rusesabagina
has received was not a fair trial.
The EU cannot remain silent on this matter.
He needs to be released urgently.

The decision to withdraw Peacekeepers after they had created a false Impression of safety remains on the first page of betrayals of all time. There is Onus to be discharged in the UN Court. It is akin to luring into death trap.
On April 11, 1994, UN Peacekeepers failed to protect civilians when they withdrew from ETO School in Kicukiro, leaving thousands of Tutsi to be killed by Interahamwe. Follow live the show on the role of the International Community in the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi

Anyway in other news... a professor of mine called the Genocide against Tutsi in 1994, the "RWANDA CIVIL WAR" after I explicitly said what it was, had footnotes and all. now I might just drop the class & I don't want no W on my transcript- if so, im going to court. im TIRED.
This is mere abuse of process by a Pseudo Investigator granted access ( Without bribe) by Rwanda's highest Political representative in the UK. Everything about immigration deal, Judicial processes against Violent Crime etc are long in Public domain. No discovery.
This was used as evidence in the " Media trial" at the
#ICTR
. Defendants Nahimana Ferdinand and Jean Bosco Barayagwiza ( in the clip) were convicted. Felicien Kabuga is on trial. Free Speech and hate Speech are different.
Those YouTubers claim that their content can't please everyone because they say the "truth" & they have many views & likes..
When Minister Rucogoza summoned Kabuga Felicien about RTLM programmes that were fueling hate among Rwandans, Kabuga told him that RTLM tells the "truth"
There is no statute of limitations on the Crime of
#Genocide
& there should never be limitations on efforts to pursue Perpetrators. A flight from Justice is always on a blind alley. Congratulations
#UNMICT
and all partners in the efforts. Who enabled the flight this long though?
It is important to know who facilitated his movements ie. Which Countries/ authorities issued passports to him. Unlike family Members, all Nations Members to the
#UN
were bound by numerous
#UNSC
resolutions not to facilitate evasion of Justice. This information isn't protected.
Rwandans living in France on Friday, May 22, presented a case before a Prosecutor in France demanding that individuals and institutions who, for long, helped Genocide suspect Félicien Kabuga evade capture be identified and brought to book.

And when terrorism targets their people, they do not assess its levels as a pre condition to act. They do not assign thresholds. They do not pose questions like " does it pose existential threat?". They don't allow & entertain causal justifications. They just dutifully act.

" Genocide" isn't merely a linguistic invention. It is a legal term with roots in UN Convention for prevention of Genocide. When description is based on 'Geography' and not a " protected group" against whom the Crime was Committed, it loses meaning & that,'s wrong.
Im focusing on the actual geopolitical history of why the intl community abandoned Rwanda. The naming of the genocide is another issue completely. But honestly, the term 'Rwandan Genocide' is more commonly known despite the campaign
#GenocideAgainstTutsi
If among those killed there had been any of their Nationals, they would have designated the group as a terrorist outfit and arrested its Leaders(on their territories and abroad). Remember the case of Bwindi murders by ALIR.
December 2018: western countries including the U.S, Germany UK & France updated their travel advisory citing "military incursions that killed civilians near Kitabi, on the edge of the Nyungwe National Park".
Rusesabagina who claimed those attacks is portrayed as a humanitarian.

Reservations don't in any way diminish the substance of the resolution. They are meant to give impression of consistency on past decisions that have lost currency/relevance without appearing to lose face. Ego is protected by choosing not to fight the resolution substantively.
There have been some misleading reporting on the adoption of the UN General Assembly Resolution 74/273, entitled “International Day of Reflection on the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda”, adopted by consensus by the General Assembly on 20 April 2020.

Rwanda's history you are referring to included rejection of, and Condemning Rwandans into perpetual refugee status. It is this history that informs the Policy of empathy to welcome refugees to Rwanda. Reducing this into " silver coin " making scheme is trivializing a people.
