You Will be Whipped Like a Small Boy, Tanzania Government Warns Rwandan Dictator General Kagame
Tanzanian Ambassador Mbelwa Kairuki(2nd right), Ms. Georgina Roberts, Deputy High Commissioner of New Zealand, Mr. Mkumbwa Ally (left), Acting Head of Government Communication Unit and Mr. Khatibu Makenga, Foreign Service Officer in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Rwandan President Paul Kagame must give up his delusional dreams of invading Tanzania. Otherwise, Tanzania will respond with full shock and awe force. … We will wallop him[General Kagame]. He[General Kagame] will be whipped like a small boy, " Mr. Ally Mkumbwa , Acting Head of Government Communication Unit in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told the Tanzanian media in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania.
"You know that unrest in DRC and Rwanda cannot end without both countries sitting down with their opponents to find a long lasting solution, " Ally Mkumbwa added, saying that the Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete had given his advice to the Rwandan dictator in good faith.
The Tanzanian official reiterated the stand of the Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete, stand that has since been supported by South African Development Community (SADC)
(see our article here), the UN Secretary General Ban-Ki Moon and the Belgian Government
(see our article here). The stand is that the Rwandan
government should meet with its armed opposition in order to bring durable peace and security in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the Great Lakes Region Africa.
Military showdown between Rwandan Defense Forces and Tanzanian People's Defense Forces To begin soon.
Despite denials from both the Rwandan and the Tanzanian government officials, a military showdown between the armies from the two countries will soon start. According to sources within both the Tanzanian and the Rwandan governments, the two sides having preparing for war and are bracing for a military confrontation. The sources told AfroAmerican Network that the two armies will face off in Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo through proxies: The Tanzanian people's Defense Forces as the main component of the UN Intervention Brigade and the Rwandan Defense Forces as the backbone of the M23 Congolese rebels.
"The Rwandans[Special Forces] are excited right now and are saying that they will hit these Tanzanians and teach them a lesson they will never forget, " a source within M23 rebels working with Rwandan Defense Force Special Forces embedded within M23 Rebels in Eastern DRC told AfroAmerica Network.
"The Rwandans [Special Forces] are saying that Tanzanians do not remember how to fight and will be routed without a fight,"another source within M23 rebels told AfroAmerica Network.
Whether these bravados will translate into real action or not, Eastern DRC may soon be the center of a power play between Tanzanian Jakaya Kikwete and the Rwandan General Paul Kagame and a place where the two may finally get even.
Appeal for Calm.
While the rhetoric has escalated between Tanzanian and Rwandan officials, some Tanzanian officials have tried to appease the emotions. Recently, in front of the Tanzanian Parliament, the Tanzanian Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Bernard Membe said that President Jakaya Kikwete's recommendation for directs talks between the Rwandan government and its armed opposition was just an advice that General Kagame was free to accept or reject but that the Tanzanian government stand by that recommendation.
"President Jakaya Kikwete will not apologise to Rwanda or change his stand that the Rwandan government should negotiate with rebels. There is no way the Head of State could apologise for saying the truth and stating a fact, " Bernard Membe said on June 2, 2013.
Tanzanian opposition leaders have also supported the Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete's recommendations but asked that other regional leaders intervene to calm. One these opposition leaders is Zitto Kabwe, Deputy chairman of the leading opposition party, CHADEMA. Zitton Kabwe said:
"If you don't want advice you simply refuse, why start hurling insults? You don't want advice, that's it. Why petty insults? Since Kikwete said what he said in Addis, he never spoke of it again. Membe (minister) replied in Dodoma and Tanzania didn't say anything afterwards. Why is Kigali still going on about this?
Taliban and Al Qaeda? Children born in 1994 and Hutu refugees in Congo, are they killers too. Let us think very carefully on this. Indeed if there are genocidaires, they should be pursued, arrested, tried and convicted. But the majority are people who have the full rights to participate in the politics of their country Rwanda. They have been prevented from doing so by the current government of Rwandan and hence, have resorted to arms. With these people, the Rwandan government must sit sit at the negotiation table, hold direct talks, and come to an agreement.
There is no need for the two countries to go to war against each other. We have other wars to fight such as poverty.
Neutral leaders like Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta should mediate between Kagame and Kikwete and help them iron out their differences."

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.

Share 64 3 Share 3 1 Tweet 64 Women mostly in South and Central Africa, and Indonesia are carrying out a horrific practice known as ‘ Dry Sex’ which not only leaves them in pain but at increased risk of HIV. Dailymail Report Dry sex is a practice where women reduce moisture in their vaginas in order to make intercourse more pleasurable for men. This according to reports can lead to cuts, sores and inflammation in the vagina, and increases the chance of a condom breaking. These factors in turn increase the chance of the women contracting sexually transmitted diseases including HIV. It is borne out of a cultural belief that men find sex more pleasurable if a woman’s vagina is dry, and that men will reject women whose vaginas have been ‘stretched out’ by sex. To achieve dryness, women insert, chalk, sand, pulverized rock, herbs, paper or sponges before sex, according to journalist Ms Syfret, who has reported o...
http://www.inyenyerinews.org/amakuru-2/the-paul-kagame-doctrine-after-20-years/ African leaders have just concluded a mini summit in Luanda, Angola, to discuss the conflict in DRC and the diplomatic showdown between South Africa and Rwanda. It is reported, as usual, that a "Luanda Declaration" was signed, and President Zuma and President Kagame "agreed" to talk to "resolve" the impasse between their two countries. The latest quarrel between South Africa and Rwanda is due to the assassination of Colonel Patrick Karegeya in South Africa on 31/12/2013 and another attempted assassination on General Kayumba Nyamwasa a couple of weeks ago. Is this new ground for hope, or it is the usual diplomatic hype, postponing the problem to a later date? This writer firmly believes it is the latter. A good foreign policy champions, defends and protects a country's ( read people's) national interests. It seeks friends and...

Mme Vidal La première caractéristique d'un blanc menteur c'est de faire comme si la tragédie rwandaise avait commencé le 6 Avril 1994, et de chercher les preuves là où elles ne sont pas, c'est-à-dire au détour de petites phrases prononcées par des personnes qui ne maîtrisent pas la langue, qui étaient enflammées ou qui sont malmenées par leurs interrogateurs. Quand vous parlez de planification du génocide, vous oubliez ceux à qui il a profité et qui avant tout le monde ont commis des exactions contre la population civile. La rancœur accumulée par les hutus contre les tutsis a été notamment été favorisée par le nettoyage ethnique opéré par le FPR dans les régions de Byumba et Ruhengeri, ce qui a eu pour résultat, un million de réfugiés entassés aux portes de Kigali. Parler du génocide et omettre de parler de cette situation est un mensonge par omission. Disons comme vous l'affirmez que l'attentat n'a...

Depuis les 5 dernières années, les experts sur le Rwanda n'écrivent plus des livres sur le génocide rwandais. La plupart ont disparu parce qu'ils ont honte de leurs écrits sur le Rwanda considérant que certains éléments de la vérité sur le Rwanda sont maintenant connus ou que le Rwanda avec son dictateur Kagame sont vus d'une manière différente.

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?
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.
