Facts Do Not Cease to Exist Because They are Ignored

"Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed." - Friedrich Nietzsche

(WASHINGTON DC) - Many have researched, conducted interviews, mapped the area and even written many reports on the assassination of former President Habyarimana of Rwanda and former President Ntaryamira of Burundi whose plane was shot down by a surface to air missile on April 6, 1994.

The French crewmembers as well as both Presidential aides were killed as the plane crashed to the ground on the very land where former President Habyarimana’s house resided. His own son watched the event happen while lounging at the pool. Body parts were scattered among the wreckage...

Myanmar Urged to Ratify Chemical Weapons Treaty

The signing came ten months after Thein Sein pledged to abide by the U.N.’s arms embargo on North Korea and to allow the IAEA full access to Myanmar weapons sites.

(HONG KONG) - The Nobel Peace Prize awarded to a global chemical weapons watchdog on Friday has prompted a call for Myanmar to ratify a key international treaty banning the arms.

New York-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) said Myanmar must ratify the Chemical Weapons Convention two decades after signing if it wants to prove to the international community it is serious about reforms.

URGENT MEMORANDUM: Save Human Lives, Stop Genocide Towards Minority Rohingya in Myanmar

The International Communities must open their eyes. This is GENOCIDE against minority Muslims in Myanmar. This is the biggest crime against humanity.

(YANGON) - Myanmar Ethnic Rohingya Human Rights Organization Malaysia (MERHROM) would like to draw your attention in regards to the recent attack on minority Rohingya Muslim in Thandwe, Arakan State of Myanmar which started on 29 September 2013.

MERHROM strongly condemned the Myanmar government on the continuous attack on Muslims in Myanmar which took place over 60 years without the world knowing what we went through inside Arakan State. The continuous attack on Rohingya clearly proves the plan of the Myanmar government to eliminate minority Muslims across Myanmar.

Burma Campaign: Running the Cardiff Half-Marathon

I am running to raise funds to ensure that their struggle is supported and that the freedoms we take for granted are given to them too.

(LONDON) - In the 2 years since President Thein Sein came to power over 300,000 people have been forced from their homes.

The Burmese Army continues to rape women and kill children while sanctions are relaxed and our government follows a policy of appeasement, putting business first and showing a blatant disregard for human rights.

An Open Letter to the International Community: Please ignore Rwanda

Dissent is not allowed in Rwanda, not in public speeches, in the press, or certainly not for political candidates...

(WASHINGTON DC) - Please ignore Rwanda. Parliamentary elections are coming up in Rwanda this September, and the world should ignore them. You read this correctly.

I am not asking for election monitors, nor intervention, nor even international observers. We already know how these elections will turn out, so why bother?

Benedict Rogers: What Cameron and Hague Should tell Burma`s President Tomorrow

Thein Sein needs to move from piecemeal changes of atmosphere to substantive reforms of the system that lead to respect for human rights and a genuine peace in the country.

(LONDON) - Tomorrow, Burma’s President Thein Sein will arrive in London. Until a year ago, the idea of a Burmese General with blood on his hands making an official visit to the United Kingdom would have been inconceivable. His visit is a sign of how much and how fast not only Burma, but British Government attitudes towards Burma’s regime, have changed.

In the past two years, President Thein Sein’s Government has certainly introduced reforms that have changed the atmosphere and landscape significantly.

All Things Truly Wicked Start from Innocence

The country is a police state and highly controlled by Kagame and nothing like what they suggest would ever happen.

(WASHINGTON DC) - In an interview on RFI.fr conducted in English and translated to Kiswahili on Monday July 8, 2013 Colonel Patrick Karegeya, former head of intelligence in Rwanda under President Paul Kagame made the following statement (in summary):

This senior Rwandan officer refugee in South Africa claims to have information on the recruitment of Laurent Nkunda and Bosco Ntaganda by Paul Kagame and DRC will be sent to create rebellions.

What Will Likely Become the Ugliest `Non-Political` Fight in Post-Kagame Rwanda?

But for all sudden power and new money have going for them, they can often become a kiss of death especially when being exercised by people who in a short period of time have "fallen into things."

(WASHINGTON DC) - My readers often ask me all sorts of questions including strange ones that take me to task. I try to answer them the best way I can. One of such questions posed to me earlier today is: "what will likely become the ugliest non-political fight in post-Kagame Rwanda."

This question is NOT about the near-term political outcomes and consequences regarding what might happen in and beyond 2017.

When History is Twisted, Humanity Loses

Many Theravada Buddhists of Myanmar and Sri Lanka try to justify Genocide.

(PHILADELPHIA, PA) - Recently, after the publication of the Time Magazine’s cover page article on Wirathu, the Buddhist terrorist monk of Myanmar, I came across an article in which the Buddhist writer.

He states that the magazine got it all wrong about Wirathu and that the pogroms against Muslims, which was disingenuously called ‘Buddhist nationalism’, are a ‘last resort’ to preserve Buddhist ‘heritage, religion and country to ensure history is not repeated.’
