US-Government: the weary big cat should roar at FDLR, not Rwanda

The difference between traditional and modern rulers is the ‘Political rationale’. Traditional rulers would use direct force, rituals, and are at times led by the so called ‘an inherent leadership’.

As for the modern/civilized rulers who prefer to be addressed as ‘their excellences’, the ruling system is indirect, full of blackmail and conspiracy; luring each other for political and economical gain.

When few leaders turnout to be straightforward and when some rare countries like Rwanda and her citizens refuse to go begging and kneeling before the big cats (US and the West), when Rwandans decide and succeed to build their own health service system that this weary lion has attempted and failed for over two hundred years; the shock becomes obvious considering the fact that the big cat isn’t well lately.

Just the other day, when the current famous ‘government shutdown’ in the United States of America (USA) had unexpectedly prolonged, same guys started growling  at Rwanda and held back $500,000 normally given as aid for Rwandan military training.

Unfortunately, the most illustrious term in the US ‘The government shutdown’ has entered in its tenth day. One would wonder what Rwanda has to do with that.

Political crisis in Africa, a project for the big economies  

I t was clear to me that the big cat and her family were behind many conflicts in Africa. It does not take heavenly powers to know that bigger part of the wealth and overwhelming economic power in the west and the US come from African conflicts where big powers sell their armaments, profiting weaponry industries.

They make sure the third world countries are not stable but rather, become fieldwork for international organizations like the so called human rights watch, Red Cross, UNHCR, and the like pretending to help people from such crises which are technically there to stay.

Economic instability and political crisis in the third world translates into supernormal profits in the second and first worlds.

What was not clear to me up to the very recent was, the Importance of Rwanda to the big cat family. At first, when Rwanda was abandoned back in the 1994 genocide against Tutsi, I thought it was because we meant nothing to the King of the Jungle who just left us to die and rot as long as we had nothing to feed his belly.

The presence of FDLR in the democratic republic of Congo for nearly twenty years now has never been an issue to the big cat. As said earlier, it is better for the big cat family if the rich zone like DRC. If FDLR uses child soldiers, it will decrease population in the area and spare the consumption of natural resources by indigenous and a pavement for the big cat to devour them.

Taking cover for the sake of political repute

So the big cat is shying away, the reputation fades as it fails to solve the budget problem for Millions of poor Americans. Recently, John Kerry urged US Congress to think how it’s perceived globally asserting:

“we can’t get our own act together” he then commended Assad regime in Syria saying it deserve credit for complying with chemical weapons deal, why the US Secretary of State is lying  to the world? If all was well in the US, if the big cat had same interests it had during Iraqi and Libya invasion; the attack would have surely been inevitable.

The US government is frustrated that the once biggest economy is dwindling, so Rwanda has become the Lord’s Prayer among international communities. The name seems worth mentioning as if it gave life. It is spoken both positively and negatively and a lot of contradictions on most statements given or researches by all followers of this ‘Hate Religion’

Rwandans both in the country and the Diaspora are not naïve  

Just like what a friend of mine commented about International institutions bias and unfair to African leaders when I told her that even the International Criminal Court (ICC) was like America suggesting it was blind. This friend, a Rwandan residing in Canada challenged me

“The Hague is not blind, it is selectively blind. It chooses when to see and who to look at as it pleases. African leaders are obviously their favorite underdogs. Do African leaders commit some serious infractions? Yes, but the whole world knows that the leaders of the first world have done far worse and got away with it.

Now, we know ‘these are facts’. The question is; how do we fix it?” commented Giramata Radegonde, Rwandan living in Canada.

Most FDLR militias who have returned to Rwanda after they abandoned their genocide ideology claim that the genocidal group recruits children of 14 and 15 years of age to fight at the frontline.

FDLR agree that those child soldiers are snatched away from their refugee families in the DRC, kidnapped from villages and trafficked from other parts of DRC where there are no wars. Those who are trafficked are deceived that they will be given better jobs; only to learn later that the better jobs prepared for them means holding the gun.

It is not clear how possibly Rwanda could recruit her own youth into a foreign rebel group like M23, a group of people born in DRC, a group of mutineers from DRC army, a group that does not fight for Rwanda but fighting for own rights within DRC.

Only last week, a delegation of United Nations Security Council, a delegation on a fact-finding mission in the DRC, Rwanda and Uganda, blamed weak institutions in the DRC, especially in the eastern part of the country, for persisting  crisis.

One of the officials Samantha Power, the United States Ambassador to the UN asserted that the weakness of state institutions in the DRC has contributed to the success of armed groups. However, it will not take me by surprise if the same person comes tomorrow and accuses Rwanda over same instability in DRC. These people ought to tell us why they immunize FDLR.
