SUBJECT: REQUEST TO THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL, TO ALL   MEMBERS OF THE UNITED NATIONS, THE EUROPEAN UNION, THE AFRICAN UNION,  MEMBERS  OF THE SADC,  TO TAKE ALL THE VICTIMS ANDSURVIVORS OF HUTU GENOCIDE IN RWANDA AND D.R. CONGO AND TUTSI GENOCIDE IN RWANDA ON  EQUAL RIGHTS.
 Excellencies,

 We, the signatories of this letter, we are Rwandan politicians, representatives of  organizations of genocide victims and survivors of genocides committed by the RPF/RPA and Interahamwe militia together with elements of Rwandan Armed Forces; we are fighting for true democracy, human rights and the equality of Rwandan people before the law.
 
We, as Rwandans who lived through the history of our country (some of us were even High ranking authorities in RPF's Government), we are writing to you as well as the world to announce the following:
1. We publicly state that in Rwanda since 10/01/1990 and in D.R. CONGO(ex-Zaire) since 1996, there was a genocide of Hutu carried out by the RPF/RPA/RDF in collaboration with the extremist Tutsi members of RPF or not. The Genocide of Hutu and the Genocide of Tutsi are something real that anyone who believes to be human and humane, and who supports the truth,should definitely recognize them as such.We therefore call on all and each,any country, any regional and /or international organizations, who have never had the information about the truth of what happened in Rwanda and D.R. Congo, and who have been RPF lies victims to investigate and verify what we state and publish today. The carried out Hutu genocide is a sad reality we share with all Rwandans (Hutu and Tutsi) and all true friends of Rwanda who love the truth. We are sure that everyone who wants to conduct a thorough investigation will confirm this information that we put out today, unless he will have intention to cover up the genocidal RPF Inkotanyi. On this point, we ask all states, organizations and the individuals who subsequently are interested in history of the  Rwanda genocide and genocide in the world, to give equal attention to all the victims and survivors of the Hutu genocide and Tutsi genocide.
2. The Hutu genocide committed by the RPF/RPAwas carried out  through different ways:they called the Hutu to come for security meeting or new measurements and  announcements by the new authorities or  to come for receiving  diverse aids such as food,or young people to come to the military recruitment or loading fire wood and food supplies,or the Hutu intellectuals and technicians to come to help RPF authorities to restart government services in connection with their knowledge while the Tutsi were receiving secret orders to do not go.Then, when the Hutu were assembled, the RPF soldiers killed them by bombs, machine guns and other automatic weapons, and they finished with hoe hits all the still alive wounded.Then, the APR loaded the bodies into truck sand threw them into rivers or into mass graves or cremated them before the RPF found another strategy to get them into the memorial sites to increase the number of victims of those which will be called later the Tutsi genocide memorials.
3. The RPF/RPA killing system used forced population gathering in unnecessary billeting camps very similar to the Nazi camps across the country in order to easily identify the Hutus who were taken away from the camps and were systematically killed. The RPF/APR also killed several thousands of Hutu people in these sites, for example the mass killings that took place in Kibeho camp(Gikongoro), Byumba stadium, Rutare camp(Byumba), Gabiro (Byumba),  Kayonza(Kibungo), Gahini(Kibungo), Ryamanyoni(Kibungo), Nasho(Kibungo), Rwamagana  (Kibungo),Rusororo(Kigali Ngali), Ndera(Kigali Ngali) Rwabusoro (Gitarama-Butare), Byimana(Gitarama), Gakurazo (Gitarama), Rubona(Butare), Rwasave (Butare), and many other places inside Rwanda where Hutus have been killed just because they are Hutus.  Among RPF military officers who carried out the Hutu genocide under the supervision of the current Rwandan President Paul Kagame, there is the current Chief of Staff of the Rwanda Defense Forces General Patrick Nyamvumba and Major General Jean Bosco Kazura who, since June 2013, was commander of the UN's stabilization force in Mali as stated in Foreign Policy Journal by Judi Rever in herDecember 13, 2014 article titled "Rwandan General Accused of Supervising Death Squad Leaves UN".

4 .The other method used is that the RPF military accompanied the civilian Tutsis to hunt, search and kill the Hutu who did not report to the camps, hiding somewhere in their properties, others in mountains who were finally exterminated or driven from strength in the transit centers which were scattered all over the country in the form of prisons or jails. Then in the evening, the RPA loaded them into military trucks after tying their arms to be burnt alive and / or killed them with hoe blows and threw them to the above mentioned locations on paragraph 2.
5. In 1994, the RPF has closed the Rusumo border located in the Eastern Province and led Hutu who tried to flee the country in the Akagera National Park where they could found nothing to eat or to drink, and killed all those who attempted to come back from the Park forest. The evil goal was that the Hutu people might die by hunger or be killed by wild animals.  It is exactly what happened to them and they were thousands.
 
6. At Gisenyi and Ruhengeli, RPF/APR has used helicopters to exterminate the Hutu population.They also used the caterpillars to plug caves / cellars and killed all those who had found refuge in them. 

7. We call on the international community to be cautious and vigilant on this issue because the genocide of Hutu that started from October 1990, kept going and continues until now in secret. To that fact, the RPF system used and is still using forced disappearances followed by death to eliminate Hutus gradually; cram them  into death prisons, torture them to death,  poison them, geld Hutu men, sterilize Hutu women, strip their property to better impoverish them so that they can for sure  gradually die and be exterminated. It is within the framework of this evil RPF silent and systematic Hutu genocide that, since July 2014, more than 40 bodies bound and locked in bags were discovered in the Akagera River and Lake Rweru. This ongoing genocide in Rwanda has been recently exposed by an American researcher Ann Garrison in her August 30th, 2014 paper titled "Second Genocide in Rwanda? Slow, Silent, and Systematic? What is happening in Rwanda? And, is the UN turning away?".
8. We let the International community know that since 1994, much of the East of the country has been transformed by RPF into Tutsiland. For this, we request rapid response to rescue the survivors of the Hutu genocide who are still in this part of the country because the RPF's plan is to continue to carry out the Hutu genocide in silence in order to create more land properties for Tutsis. That is why we ask that there should be a form of tolerance allowing the people to live side by side rather than to exterminate a part of the population. 
 
9.  We call on UNHCR and all the countries around the world to give refuge to all Rwandan persons without conditions because Rwanda is currently led by the RPF murderers who rule the country with an iron hand under an absolute dictatorship, torture, injustices, and forced disappearances followed by death. They are silently busy with exterminating a part of the population in a progressive and planned way for the RPF-led Government does not tolerate Hutus in general and Tutsis that do not support these atrocities.
10. We let know the International Community that all statements from RPF claiming that there is security in the country are false.There is no security in the country since the RPF came to power in 1994.The RPF is leading the country in a systematic ethnic discrimination. It is a police and repressive state,and its agents do everything in their power to hide this from all foreigners who are in the country.It is in this context that the countryside is closed to foreigners if they are not accompanied by civilian cloth-dressed security officers or if they did not announce their visit in advance so that the RPF agents clear their way to hide its repressive actions and to prevent outsiders from knowing the sinister reality of what Hutu ethnic group people live daily. 

11.During this year 2014 of the 20th commemoration of the Tutsi genocide anniversary and preparing for the upcoming 21st genocide anniversary, we call on the international Community: the United Nations, the European Union, the African Union,and every country in the world, to respect and value equally footing the Hutu genocide victims and survivors with those of the Tutsi genocide. In particular,we ask you to plaid in favor of the Hutu population that finally they have a right to mourn for their relatives and friends victims of the Hutu genocide and commemorate them, to get the information that surrounded their death, where their remains are in order to bury them in due respect and human dignity, and the right to give their own testimonies and tell their own stories of how they survived the Hutu genocide carried out by RPF/RPA in Rwanda and in Democratic Republic of the Congo. Otherwise, if the truth, all the truth and only the truth is not told, if the Tutsi continue to be viewed as the only victims and the Hutu the only executioners although the reality is all different, there will never be a true reconciliation and a sustainable peace in Rwanda.
12. The BANYARWANDA Political Party, the Moderate Rwanda Party(MRP-ABASANGIZI), and the Association of survivors TUBEHOTWESE are united with all the victims and survivors of the Hutu genocide and those of the Tutsi genocide in sadness and broken heart caused by these two genocides in which they lost their family members and friends only because they belong to one or another ethnic group. We take this opportunity to thank the Tutsis who are beginning to be annoyed by the commemoration of the Tutsi genocide only,when they know this right is forbidden to their neighbors and brothers Hutus by the RPF which leads the country and which is responsible for the Hutu genocide and catalyst of the Tutsi genocide.
13. The impunity that has always been the rule of the land in Rwanda is one of the main root causes of the two genocides carried out in that country. Therefore, we ask for the perpetrators of the Hutu genocide in Rwanda and in the Democratic Republic of Congo to be prosecuted and tried by an international criminal court and by the Rwandan courts as it has been the case to those who committed the Tutsi genocide.

14.We are grateful to the BBC for its documentary on President Kagame and RPF crimes in Rwanda aired on October 1st 2014. We urge the BBC to pursue its investigation in favor of knowing all the truth and call the RPF crimes by their true name for the fact is that Mr. Kagame and its RPF committed a Hutu genocide in Rwanda and in Democratic Republic of the Congo.
 
Finally we thank all of you for the way in which you will receive and consider this open letter and we ask you to consider and value the victims and survivors of the Hutu genocide, and to plaid on  their behalf in order to mourn and commemorate their own as well. In doing this, you will be investing in something valuable or true reconciliation between Hutus and Tutsis, and for establishing sustainable security and peace in Rwanda.
 
 
Sincerely,
-Dr. Gasana Anastase, President of Moderate Rwanda Party- ABASANGIZI, Former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Former Ambassador of Rwanda RPF led government to the United Nations;

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.

THE BATTLE OF RUBAYA: Rwanda's War for Minerals Exposed

T he FDLR Pretext Collapses Under the Weight of Documented Plunder   Introduction: A Battle That Tells the Truth When Rwandan-backed RDF/M23 forces fought with extraordinary ferocity to seize and hold Rubaya — a remote mining town in North Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo — the stated justification was security. Kigali's consistent public line has been that its military presence in the DRC is a response to the threat posed by the Forces Democratiques de Liberation du Rwanda (FDLR), an armed group whose leaders include individuals linked to the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. This narrative has been accepted, qualified, or left insufficiently challenged by Western governments and multilateral institutions for over a decade. The Battle of Rubaya strips that narrative bare. What unfolded in Rubaya was not a counter-insurgency operation against genocidal remnants. It was a sustained military campaign — reinforced by the Rwanda Defence Forces (RDF), prosecuted at sign...

Desperate Kagame: Where Does He Go From Here—and What Comes Next?

  How Paul Kagame Uses Diplomats' "Bury Your Head in the Sand" Strategy as a Green Light to Continue Rwanda's War in the DRC Africa Realities Media   |   17 July 2026 The purpose of this article is to expose a deliberate and systematic strategy: Paul Kagame's years-long practice of creating events — diplomatic dinners, RPF party meetings, genocide commemorations, international business forums and RPF Bureau Politique addresses — to which he invites foreign ambassadors and the world's business and political elite for one purpose: to explain, justify, and defend Rwanda's military invasion of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Everybody who follows this region knows the strategy now. The same narrative. The same arguments. The same defiance. At one event he tells the Trump Administration to go to hell. At the next he says those sanctioning him will leave power and he will remain. At the RPF Bureau Politique of 17 July 2026, he tells ambassadors that the on...

The Kagame Myth: Western Power, Private Jets and Rwanda’s Controlled Reality

  ANALYSIS AND INVESTIGATION Introduction: The Myth and the Man Behind the Myth There is a version of Paul Kagame that exists in the conference halls of Davos, in the pages of Western magazines, in private hotel meetings in London, Paris and Washington, and on the sleeves of European football shirts. In this version, Kagame is a visionary. A builder. A disciplined African moderniser. A leader who pulled a broken country from the ashes of genocide and turned it into what admirers often call the “Singapore of Africa”. In this version, Rwanda is clean, efficient, safe, investment-friendly and orderly. Kagame is presented as the African leader the West wants to believe in: controlled, polished, pro-market, security-focused and comfortable in elite Western spaces. Then there is the Rwanda that many Rwandans, exiles, journalists, opposition figures and human rights organisations describe. In this Rwanda, YouTubers and online commentators are jailed for what they say. Critics die in custo...

The FDLR Myth: How Rwanda Weaponises a Diminished Threat to Justify Occupation

The FDLR Myth: How Rwanda Weaponises a Diminished Threat to Justify Occupation Investigation Exposes Contradictions in Rwanda's Security Narrative For over a decade, Rwanda has justified its military presence in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo by citing threats from the FDLR, a Hutu militia group linked to the 1994 genocide. But an investigation into FDLR's actual capabilities, Rwanda's military operations, and patterns of violence reveals a narrative that does not match reality. The FDLR threat, whilst real, has been systematically exaggerated and manipulated to justify objectives that have nothing to do with the militia group. Introduction The Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) occupies a central position in Rwanda's justification for military intervention in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. For more than two decades, Rwandan authorities have portrayed the militia group as an existential threat requiring sustaine...

The Aggressor’s Complaint: Why Rwanda’s “Biased” US Sanctions Argument Echoes Russia

Kigali wants Washington to punish Congo too. But a ceasefire that leaves the occupier in place is not peace; it is occupation without noise. African lives are not worth less. African deaths are not normal. Western interests must never become a licence to kill African people. Introduction: A Familiar Complaint On 29 June 2026, Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Olivier Nduhungirehe, sat before the cameras of France 24 and declared that his country was “disappointed by the increasingly biased US mediation” in the conflict with the Democratic Republic of Congo. He asked why sanctions had targeted only Rwanda. He called the measures unfair, one-sided and counterproductive. Weeks earlier, President Paul Kagame had told Jeune Afrique that sanctions and threats were insults thrown at Rwanda, and accused Washington of exerting heavy pressure on Rwanda while treating the DRC more delicately. The grievance sounds reasonable until you remember where you have heard it before. Since 2022, the Kr...

The Empire of Kagame’s Global Friends: The Powerful Network Behind His International Protection

This article identifies the central obstacle to accountability for Paul Kagame’s actions in Rwanda and the Great Lakes region: the powerful global network of political leaders, former presidents, diplomats, philanthropists, religious figures, businesspeople, international institutions, sporting organisations, advisers and paid lobbyists that has promoted, legitimised, defended and protected him for three decades. This is a problem-identification article. It asks why Kagame has remained internationally influential and protected despite serious and extensively documented allegations concerning Rwanda’s military actions in the Democratic Republic of Congo, political repression, extraterritorial operations, mineral exploitation and the treatment of political opponents, journalists and critics. The answer is that Kagame has built an international network that gives him political access, diplomatic protection, commercial partnerships, institutional legitimacy, favourable media coverage, ...

French State-Sponsored Racism Without Limits Against the Hutu in France.

French State-Sponsored Racism Without Limits Against the Hutu in France France does not simply remember the Rwanda genocide. It owns it. For three decades, the French state has sponsored and enforced a racist political order — criminalising Hutu identity, silencing African expertise, enforcing a one-sided judicial record and reproducing the same ethnic hierarchy Belgium imposed on Rwanda under colonialism. This is not a failure of memory. It is state-sponsored racism without limits, dressed in the language of historical accountability. African lives are not worth less. African deaths are not normal. Western interests must never become a licence to kill African people. Introduction: Racism as Policy The genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda was real. Between April and July 1994, following an invasion of Rwanda launched by the RPF from Uganda on 1 October 1990, initially under the command of Major-General Fred Rwigyema and subsequently led by Paul Kagame after Rwigyema was killed ...

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?
