UK-Monster behind genocide and rape squads - By Ian Birrell

Who is Andrew Mitchell? UK Foreign aid, Rwanda, Andrew Mitchell and David Cameron. Andrew Mitchell is the UK Secretary of State for International Development who has no experience in international development and economic development.   This man    knows Rwanda only.   Every year he takes his summer holiday in Rwanda. In November 2008, Andrew Mitchell said on BBC that there were no Hutu refugees massacres in Congo Democratic Republic.   Andrew Mitchell said that refugees were killed by hunger and diseases while they were Congo Democratic Republic. This is a man who has no empathy toward the poor, the weak and the disadvantaged.   This means that Andrew Mitchell dismisses the UN Mapping Report findings about human rights abuses, genocide and massacres of refugees who fleeing Kagame. David Cameron and Andrew Mitchell know that Britain's influence is diminishing around the world. They only option that they have to keep some British influence is foreign aid. ...

Kagame threatens UN withdraw "his own army" as he did on Karenzi's case in Darfour last year

28 August 2010 Last updated at 23:11 GMT, Why is Kagame's gvment re-threatening UN to withdraw army and police? Instead of discussing the truth in substance containing in "UN report" !, Kigali could affront in law the case if they  are clean. Are soldiers and police children(or slaves) of Kagame him self? or of the state ? Do you Remember that,when UN pressured in Karenzi Karake's case accused of war crimes(in France,Spain) ,the former second chief commander in Darfour, Kagame and his governement threatened to withdraw rwandese army from Soudan. The game has gained,UN pulled down and waites the end of his mandate, than the scene begins again in favour of great impunity, world injustice instead of the universal justice. Fortunately, RPF Kagame's regime does big business in UN Mission Darfour,for ex : they drink "TRISTAR/RPF's water Inyange"from Kigali, they took 1/3 of all employee,soldier salary from UN Mission !!! Why does Kagame  fears free and fa...

Rwandan butcher Kagame wins a round

  Rwandan butcher Kagame wins a round ( http://www.africandictator.org/?p=3387 ) July 26, 2011 | Filed under: Features | Posted by: Herman As the British say, wonder never cease. The UK International Development Secretary, Andrew Mitchell, yesterday (25 July 2011)landed in Rwanda to join fellow conservatives on annual voluntary work in Rwanda. Amazing! We had put a bet of one cow if Andrew Mitchell went to shake hands with the devil, the butcher of Rwanda General Kagame. We reasoned that the Butcher of Rwanda is beyond redemption given his near-total isolation due to his recent actions. We lost the bet. The Kagame sycophants who taunted us that Mitchell will visit their hero the butcher of Rwanda can now collect their cow. You win some you lose some. The Rwandan dictator will no doubt claim this visit as an endorsement to his murderous regime. But Mr Dictator, as you continue your charm offensive, the voices committed to exposing your true colours will not cease. These voices inc...

Nous voulons aider les peuples de la région des Grands Lacs à mieux comprendre leurs droits, notamment leurs droits humains, leur droit au développement, leur droit à la dignité, à la sécurité, au bien-être et à une vie meilleure. À travers nos contenus, nous cherchons également à rappeler aux décideurs, aux institutions publiques, aux acteurs régionaux et internationaux, ainsi qu’aux responsables politiques, leur devoir de transparence, de responsabilité et de redevabilité envers les populations qu’ils prétendent servir. Notre objectif est de contribuer à une culture de vérité, de justice, de participation citoyenne et de protection égale pour tous les peuples africains.

Why We Exist

Many abuses facing African people are committed by African states, ruling elites, armed groups, military forces and security services. But these abuses are often sustained by international silence, Western lobbying, trade interests, migration deals, mineral access, diplomatic partnerships and unequal global accountability. Africa Realities Media exposes that system.

Lived Experience Matters

Survivors, displaced communities, refugees, families affected by repression, journalists, activists, women, young people and diaspora voices are not passive subjects. They are knowledge holders. Their experiences must shape policy, advocacy, journalism and public debate. The people closest to injustice are often closest to the solutions.

Our Principle

Africa Realities Media is rooted in one principle: African lives deserve equal truth, equal justice and equal protection.

Why Africa Realities Media Is Different

Africa Realities Media speaks to Africa and to the developed world. Many abuses facing African people are committed by African states and ruling elites, but they are often protected by international silence, lobbying, public relations, trade interests, migration deals and unequal global accountability. While governments pay lobbyists to present a good image abroad, ordinary African people continue to face violence, hunger, disease, poverty, repression and exclusion. We challenge the normalisation of African suffering and demand equal truth, equal justice and equal protection.

Pourquoi Africa Realities Media est différent?

Africa Realities Media s’adresse à l’Afrique et au monde développé. De nombreux abus subis par les peuples africains sont commis par des États africains et des élites dirigeantes, mais ils sont souvent protégés par le silence international, le lobbying, les relations publiques, les intérêts commerciaux, les accords migratoires et une responsabilité mondiale inégale. Tandis que des gouvernements paient des lobbyistes pour présenter une bonne image à l’étranger, des Africains ordinaires continuent de faire face à la violence, à la faim, aux maladies, à la pauvreté, à la répression et à l’exclusion. Nous contestons la normalisation de la souffrance africaine et exigeons une vérité égale, une justice égale et une protection égale.

Policy and Systems Change

Our work is designed to trigger debate, discomfort and action. We do not only expose injustice; we work for policy and systems change. We want governments and institutions to address the root causes of inequality, disadvantage, discrimination, exclusion and barriers affecting African people. We believe lasting change must be shaped by people with lived experience.

Exposing Injustice in Africa

Africa Realities Media is an independent African accountability platform based in London. We report, analyse and challenge the systems that shape African suffering, silence African victims and protect abusive power. We are not here to repeat diplomatic language. We are here to ask the questions that are often avoided: why are African deaths treated as normal? Why are African victims given less urgency? Why are governments that imprison, exclude, displace or kill their own people protected when they serve powerful international interests?

Africanews

Africa Realities Media gives space to writers, researchers, experts, activists, community voices, campaigners, analysts and people with lived experience who want to contribute thoughtful, responsible and courageous content about the changes needed in the region, as well as the political, economic, cultural and social African realities that are often ignored, minimised or misrepresented. Our articles and videos aim to encourage debate, raise awareness, stimulate critical thinking and support reflection. We seek to help people in the Great Lakes Region understand their rights to human rights, development and wellbeing, while also encouraging decision-makers to be more transparent, responsive and accountable.
