copy to: Mr. Barack Obama, President of the United States of America Mr. Yoweri Museveni, President of the Republic of Uganda Mr. Paul Kagame, President of the Republic of Rwanda Ntarugera Deo Koya Deputy Director Rufari Foundation Mail bag 2995 Kigali Phone: +250 78 868 5751 Professor Ali A. Mazrui Binghamton University, New York, U.S.A Professor Samantha Power US Ambassador to the United Nations, N.Y., U.S.A Ndugu Ali: Ambassador Power: Re: The African Great Lakes region threatened to be turned into a huge fireball as a result of multiple and repetitive failures by the UN & the international community to execute their international obligations: We are faced with an extraordinary emergency that commands a swift and appropriate action in the African Great Lakes region that might soon turn into a huge fireball if adequate care is not taken now. I repeat, this is an extraordinary emergency. I hold the two of you to be very good souls unreservedly committed to the service of humanity, highly gifted persons, very powerful and highly learned intellectuals capable of impacting foreign policies of nations, of providing such proactive and propitious advice to strategists and leaders of the world community of nations and the UN security council as might make them alter their extraordinarily dangerous and abrasive course of action undertaken in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in the wake of the adoption of UN security council Resolution 2098 in March 2013. This resolution prescribes UN belligerence against the Congolese M23 Rebellion in flagrant violation of the essential principle of neutrality of the UNO, a premiere in the history of this organization essentially charged with ensuring peace and security across the world. On behalf of the voiceless and disenfranchised peoples of Congo, and eastern Congo in particular, we, at Rufari Foundation, urge you to please do your possible best to ensure this UN belligerence is precluded. And we know that you can. Yes, you can! Ndugu Ali A Mazrui: We have been good friends for the last thirty years and I very much trust your unusually heightened capacity for conceptualizing things seen and unseen, for having been a very gifted advocate of Africa across the world for the last 50 years. You have shaped policies for the UNO and multiple national governments over the last 5 decades, Ndugu Ali, and today I most earnestly urge you and Ambassador Samantha Power to advise the UN security council, and whoever else you may discretionarily think of, to change course and preclude UN belligerence against the M23 Rebellion in D R Congo. M23 is a gallant rebellion as you can see in the appended media clip that has had the misfortune of being grossly disparaged, denigrated, debased and misrepresented by the French government through diplomatic falsehoods, through lobbies, hired media persons and organizations like Human Rights Watch and others. All these have been outdoing one another putting up lots of mendacious, treacherous reports and outright lies reverberating urbi et orbi to pin down the honorable M23 Rebellion and insidiously implicate President Paul Kagame and the Rwandan government misconstrued as the sole engineer of the rebounding Congolese crisis. In point of fact, the utterly hideous horrors the world has seen in D R Congo over the last couple of decades, are but collaterals/reverberations of the 1994 genocide of Rwandan Tutsi and the forced massive exodus of millions of Hutu folks forcefully herded out of Rwanda by the defeated Rwanda government army and the French army trained genocide militia known and referred to as Interahamwe. The ideas of a Tutsi genocide and a massive exodus of Hutu were hatched in the Office of French President Mitterrand as the only way of inflicting a political defeat to the all too powerful Rwandan Patriotic Front Rebellion (RPF)led by young General Paul Kagame, military defeat being out. I very well remember President Mitterrand’s voice aired by radio in June 1994 from South Africa (he was paying an official visit to President Mandela) saying, “La victoire militaire du FPR est certainement certaine, mais sa victoire politique est certainement incertaine”. How good is your French today Ndugu Ali? Shall I translate or is Ambassador Samantha Power going to kindly help you out? Just in case it might take a little while before you air a word to each other, let me extemporize a translation: “The military victory of the RPF is certainly certain, but their political victory is certainly uncertain.” And French President had yet another Ace up his sleeve: the Zone Turquoise! A terrible Pandora box that would be opened into D r Congo. The rebounding Congolese crisis started with the wantonly sinister Zone Turquoise thing. The French government had it swiftly adopted as a UN security council Resolution purporting it to be a Humanitarian, in their inveterate mendacity that customarily induces the UN and the international community into breaching their international contract in the Great Lakes region of Africa. It was rather meant to be a fully military action due to secure free entry of the defeated armies of the genocidal Rwanda government into eastern Congo with all their weaponries, light and heavy, includes war planes and tanks. Yet another premiere that is a massive violation of international law. This is aggression! Who aggressed D R Congo? Is it Kagame? Nay! France? Yes, indeed.It was the UN and the international community induced by France. Here again, the UN and the international community grossly failed to execute their international obligations, just as they had wantonly failed to execute them when the genocide of Rwandan Tutsi was looming ahead and they could all see the signals thereof in January. They did not bother to prevent it, or to stop it when it erupted in April 1994, while they all knew they were bound by law to do so. Can’t you hear General Romeo Dallaire’s I shook hands with the devil ring bells in some remote corner of your blessed hearts, dear Ambassador Power and Ndugu Ali Mazrui? Ambassador Power: At this juncture, I poignantly recollect your haunting question in A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide “Why do American leaders who vow never again repeatedly fail to stop genocide?” You and I have not yet seen each other eye to eye, but I sort of feel I have seen you through the lines of your powerful book. I sort of sense we will meet sometime soon. Once again, I urge the two of you to step up action and secure the preclusion of the UN belligerence in D r Congo, having in mind there is “a genocide” of Congolese Tutsi going. Sincerely, Ntarugera Deo Koya, +250 78 868 5751
