Dinesh's UN Report persecuting Rwandan refugees apparently on the behalf of the Rwandan Government, through Rakiya Omaar, is telling enough.<br /><br />I just read the latest UN Experts' report on DRC. As usual, these experts have condemned everybody, except the real culprit: Kagame and the Rwandan Government.<br /><br />UN Experts have been pampering Kagame and his Rwandan government in the repression and oppression of the Congolese people and the Rwandan opposition. Paul Kagame has been so emboldened by the support of UN experts on the DRC for his repressing the opposition that he just arrested Peter Erlinder, an American lawyer, for defending a Rwandan opposition figure! What a shame! <br />Recently I went through most of the Jason's blogs and was surprised that Jason never made any relevant comments on the repression going on in Rwanda, the grenade attacks, or Johnie Carson's address to the House of the Representative committee regarding human rights abuses and lack of democracy in Rwanda. Let us hope I will see a stinging note on the arrest of Peter Erlinder.<br />Whatever love you guys (Jason, Dinesh, and other UN Experts) have for Kagame, the time for reevaluating your support is clearly well overdue. What has become of the good old principles?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01462258542215515953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-2908774404215629742010-05-28T11:17:06.747-07:002010-05-28T11:17:06.747-07:00So the worst case scenario - MONUC out, nothing to...So the worst case scenario - MONUC out, nothing to replace - is avoided, then?
