Hutu -Tutsi Massacres / Ten Years After
ALEXIS SINDUHIJE
State Radio and Communal Conflict
At the beginning of December, I went to Gihanga, a small area twenty kilometers northwest of Bujumbura. Because the majority of the people who live there were Tutsis like me, I felt safe and thought I would be able to cover the massacres between Hutus and Tutsis that had just broken out there. On the road where the confrontations had taken place, I watched helplessly as a group of four or five Tutsi boys with machetes cut the throats of two small Hutu girls who were six or seven years old. It was as if the boys were cutting down a tree trunk. The blood of the two girls gushed like a waterfall, their cries begging for mercy from killers who had none. It cannot be described. Their lives were extinguished before me.

The modernity of genocide
A burning question remains : why the horror ?
. . . Stanley abandoned all hope of entering Rwanda after he was shot at with arrows. With the search for the mythical sources of the Nile as a backdrop, explorers and missionaries alike conveyed a fantastical vision of this region.
Speke, in his "Journal of the discovery of the sources of the Nile" (1863), describes the Tutsi as the members of a conquering Hamito-Semitic race from Ethiopia. He offers no proof of what he advances as a theory. Who, then, were these Hamites ? They were qualified as "white negroes", conferring on them a distant white ascendency.
In Genesis, after the flood, Ham, Noah's son, mocks his father, whom he finds drunk and naked in his tent. Noah curses his son, Canaan, condemning him to be the slave of Japheth and Shem, Ham's brothers. A handy myth indeed ! When the Westerners enslaved the Black people, they likened them with Ham's cursed son... and so justified the slave trade, colonialism and apartheid. And when they sought to divide them, they discovered that some of them belonged to another of Ham's lineage, Shem, who was not cursed, the famous Hamites, or Hamito-Semites.
Whilst a number of texts blithely refer to these approximately fifteenth century migrations from the North, the only linguistic and archaeological traces of migratory movements researchers have managed to find go back to over 2000 years. Furthermore, the oral tradition bears no trace of these alleged migrations. But what could be more convenient than this myth of the Hamite from the North, a superior race, to legitimize the power of one group, who could be used to better enslave the rest ?
The remarkable organization of the country discovered on the arrival of the Whites had to be explained. What ? Were negroes capable of this ? The Hamites were thus supposed to have brought civilization to the Bantous who lived in the heart of "deepest darkest Africa". The Hutu and Tutsi were differentiated in order to support these fabrications : the interpretation of the Bible and a highly debatable anthropometry would serve as the scientific basis. The Tutsi from the North would be refined and slender, as opposed to the "indigenous" small, stocky and vulgar Hutu. It was not taken into account that some Tutsi are small and stocky, and some Hutu tall and slender... other than by several missionaries who made note of their doubts and consternation in their diaries. (3)
. . . The circle goes on : as we write, massacres are still taking place in the north of Rwanda. The politicians responsible for the genocide go unpunished, and France is reluctant to let its soldiers testify at the Arusha international tribunal. (5) This does not facilitate the highly delicate grieving process, without which history is bound to falter. If we fail to establish the real responsibilities (the academics, churches, politicians, media), and to accept the process of questioning both in Europe and in Africa, how will the wound heal ? If we fail to banish that still widely used term "ethnic war" from our vocabularies, how will we see the Rwandan conflict for what it really is : a play of interests stirred up into a civil war ? And, above all, if we continue to deny the reason which caused the wounds - the relations of domination - won't we end up claiming that the patient is well, that these wounds are in fact a natural state, eternal ?
��
What is behind the genocides of the twentieth century if it is not the egocentrism and insecurity accompanying the affirmation of the individual's autonomy which characterizes modernity ? The temptation to project onto the other what is ours is strong. And a Rwandan proverb tells us : "Nta wiyanga nk'uwanga undi (Nobody hates himself more than he who hates others)".
In their quest to surpass, artists open themselves up to all influences and facilitate the removal of projections. They thus explore a fraternity in which the identities of each and everyone are no longer the centre of human identities : not a fraternity of blood, but a fraternity of sharing.

Informants told UN investigators they were on squad that killed Rwanda's president
UNITED NATIONS - Three Tutsi informants have revealed to the United Nations that they were part of an elite strike team that assassinated the Hutu president in 1994, shedding new light on an event that triggered the genocide of at least 500,000 people in Rwanda. The informants told UN investigators in 1997 that the killing of president Juvenal Habyarimana was carried out "with the assistance of a foreign government" under the overall command of Paul Kagame, now the vice-president of Rwanda. The April 6, 1994, assassination proved to be a flashpoint in central Africa in 1994, igniting a bloodletting in which extremist Hutus targeted Tutsis and moderate Hutus. The report, obtained by the National Post, suggests a critical moment in the Rwandan genocide has been misunderstood.
Cryptome.org
"A CIA report considered 500 to 500,000 deaths after the attempt on Habyarimana to be an acceptable risk."
Although he is not an Africanist, Wayne Madsen was intrigued by the taking down of the airplane of Rwanda��s president, Juvenal Habyarimana, on April 6, 1994. He started his own investigation. The non-governmental organisation Epic tracks down invasions of privacy in electronic data transmissions. Madsen focuses on the activities of intelligence services. He knows their working methods from the inside, as he worked for the US Navy on monitoring technology for the NSA. The poacher became a forester: "I know where they hide their corpses," he jokes.
There was a strategic plan for Africa. In a CIA report of January 1994 the number of possible deaths involved in taking down Habyarimana��s airplane was estimated at minimally 500, maximally 500,000. The latter figure became reality. They were prepared to take the risk. Brown & Root, a subsidiary of Halliburton, was officially in Rwanda to clear away land mines. In fact, they trained Kagame��s men, as Brown & Root is linked to Military Professional Resources Inc. (MPRI), a private mercenary supplier from Virginia, which guarded diamond concessions of American Mineral Fields in Angola. The American military intelligence service DIA recruits amongst MPRI people��
James Lyons, who led the UN investigation, presented evidence to the International Criminal Tribunal of Rwanda (ICTR) corroborating my proposition. The SAM missiles were seized during Desert Storm in Iraq and brought from Cairo to Kigali. The missiles were stored in warehouses of a Swiss company working for the CIA. Two RPF soldiers fired the SAM-16s from Massaka and the Gasogi hill. These soldiers were trained in Phoenix, Arizona to work with this kind of projectiles. I proved this, apart from Lyons�� investigation and from the French Quiles committee. Everyone comes to the same conclusion, Rwandan witnesses as well. But ICTR judge, Louise Arbor, closed the case when she felt Madeleine Allbright breathing down her neck.

Democracy Now Interviews Haiti Pres. Aristide
Wednesday, 10 March 2004, 3:13 pm
AMY GOODMAN: President Aristide, did you resign the Presidency?
PRESIDENT ARISTIDE: No, I did not resign. I exchanged words through conversations, we exchanged notes. I gave a written note before I went to the press at the time. And instead of taking me where they said they were taking me in front of the Haitian press, the foreign press, to talk to the people, to explain what is going on, to call for peace. They used that note as a letter of resignation, and I say, they are lying.

CARICOM: no peacekeeping force,
coup inquiry required
The 15-nation Caribbean Community CARICOM refused to join an international peacekeeping force in Haiti and called for an independent international inquiry into Aristide's allegations that he was forced out office by the United States. Jamaican Prime Minister P.J. Patterson said CARICOM was "extremely disappointed" at the involvement of "Western partners" in the hasty departure of Aristide. He charged that the U.N. Security Council had ignored an urgent Caribbean appeal to it on Thursday to send peacekeepers to Haiti before Aristide was forced out.

Aristide PM Yvon Neptune
protected by U.S. forces
In an interview with Andrea Nicastro of the Italian daily Corriere della Sera Neptune stated that "some in the international community don't want Haiti to become a democracy where the majority of the poor have a voice. The coup machine is in motion because the opposition knows they cannot win elections with President Aristide in the country." He also added that "the resignation of the President is not constitutional because he did that under duress and threat."

Modern 'Dreyfus Affair' is unworthy of America
Hatred of Muslims has become the anti-Semitism of our era. The latest example of this ugly fact is the vicious prosecution by the U.S. military of a Muslim army chaplain, Capt. James Yee. I call this disgraceful and shameful case America's Dreyfus Affair.
Professor Manning Marable
9/11: Racism in a Time of Terror
I think that as Americans, we must also make a clear distinction between "guilt" and "responsibility." The Al Qaeda group is indeed guilty of committing mass murder. But the United States government is largely responsible for creating the conditions for reactionary Islamic fundamentalism to flourish. During Reagan's administration, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) provided over three billion dollars to finance the mujahadeen's guerilla war against the Soviet Union's military presence in Afghanistan. The CIA used Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, or secret police, to equip and train tens of thousands of Islamic fundamentalists in the tactics of guerilla warfare. . . .
There is a clear link between 9/11 and the shameful political maneuvering committed by the U.S. at the United Nations World Conference Against Racism held in Durban, South Africa, only days before the terrorist attacks. There the U.S. government opposed the definition of slavery as "a crime against humanity." It refused to acknowledge the historic and contemporary effects of colonialism and racial segregation on the underdevelopment and oppression of the non-European world. The majority of dark humanity is saying to the United States that racism and militarism are not the solutions to the world's major problems. Transnational capitalism and the repressive neoliberal policies of structural adjustment represent a dead end for the developing world. We can only end the threat of terrorism by addressing constructively the routine violence of poverty, hunger, and exploitation that characterize the daily existence of several billion people on this planet. Racism is, in the final analysis, only another form of violence. . . .

The Genetically Modified Bomb
Imagine a bomb that only kills Caucasians with red hair. Or short people. Or Arabs. Or Chinese.
Now imagine that this new bomb could be set off anywhere in the world, and that within a matter of days, weeks, or months it would kill every person on the planet who fits the bomb's profile, although the rest of us would be left standing. And the bomb could go off silently, without anybody realizing it had been released - or even where it was released - until its victims started dying in mass numbers. . . .
The Project for a New American Century's (PNAC) report titled "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New Century."
Genetically targeted weapons could change world politics forever, according to PNAC.
"And," their report notes, "advanced forms of biological warfare that can 'target' specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool."
Given that Kristol, Wolfowitz, and their conservative PNAC associates like Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, Eliot Abrams, Jeb Bush, and John Bolton have already brought us two of their early 1998 recommendations - the seizure of Iraq and a huge increase in defense spending - it's tempting to wonder if this is another of their other politically useful ideas being explored by the Pentagon.

. . .in which a U.S. president gives a campaign speech for his party candidate for a U.S. House of Representative election in California.
. . . ``We should throw away with double standard,���� Roh said. ``The President is a politician.����
. . . His remarks come as the election watchdog requested that Roh should be politically neutral as a public servant. The National Election Commission (NEC) ruled early this month that President Roh��s open support for pro-government Uri Party violates election laws.
. . . In response to the ruling of the NEC, opposition parties introduced an impeachment motion against Roh on Tuesday.

Roh Stakes Presidency on April Polls
. . . President Roh Moo-hyun, now facing an impeachment motion by opposition parties, on Thursday said he would step down if the pro-government Uri Party did not do well in the April 15 general elections.
. . . ``I will make a political decision in accordance with the outcome in the forthcoming general elections as it will reflect the people��s judgment (of me),���� Roh said during a press conference at Chong Wa Dae. However, Roh rejected an opposition demand for an apology for his violation of the election law for which he is facing impeachment.

Vote suspends president from office
. . . The National Assembly voted today to impeach President Roh Moo-hyun, making him the first-ever Korean head of state removed from his office.
. . . Roh��s presidential authority was suspended, which was taken over by Prime Minister Goh Kun.
. . . Roh��s final fate will be determined by the Constitutional Court, which has 180days to rule on whether to unseat the president for ever or not.
. . . The opposition-controlled Assembly approved the impeachment bill with a vote of 193 to 2. Opposition parties submitted the bill accusing Roh of violating elections laws and lacking leadership capability.
. . . The voting took place after lawmakers loyal to the president who earlier tried to block the vote were taken outside the chamber by security officers. Speaker Park Kwan-yong invoked his right to call in the officers.

'I Told Aides to Ensure Daewoo President Wouldn't Be Retained'
* Illegal Campaign Funding
. . . I feel very sorry and embarrassed. I once again apologize with a humble bow. I will take responsibility as I promised earlier. There will be no more occasions in the future for me to make apologies for similar things.
. . . One thing I��d like to say is that, though there could be some arguments, the illegal funds taken by my camp do not exceed one-tenth of those garnered by the Grand National Party. Whether they exceed or not is not the true nature of this uproar. When I first made the ``one-tenth���� remark, I was just trying to mark a striking contrast in the volumes of illegal funds between my camp and the Grand National Party, because the opposition camp unjustly tried to lump them together.
. . . Anyway, my top campaign strategists have been put behind the bars. I feel ashamed before my fellow citizens. I feel sorry for those imprisoned and their families. I was elected and they were sent to jail. It is a real embarrassment for me.
* Misdeeds of Aides and Relatives
. . . I think I also have to apologize for the controversy involving some of my confidants and relatives.
. . . My elder brother, Kon-pyong, took 30 million won from Nam Sang-kook, president of Daewoo E&C, who asked my brother to use his influence and help him retain his job. The money was returned later. Later, I told my aides to make sure that Nam wouldn��t be retained. I hope that such a well-educated man as Nam will not cajole my brother, who is nobody, and give him money to exercise influence over me. That will not happen.
* Impeachment Motion
. . . I��m well aware of the public opinion calling on the president to make apology and, if the people want me to apologize for causing these troubles, I will apologize even three times.
. . . However, if I am advised to do so just for the purpose of avoiding the impeachment and tide it over evasively, I cannot accept the call. That��s not good politics.
. . . The reasons the opposition parties have given for suggesting the impeachment motion against the president are failing to be a reasonable explanation for what they are doing just before the general elections. All the problems will be solved at once only if the opposition parties withdraw the impeachment motion. If the opposition took one step backward, I will also apologize for what I might have to and there could be some compromise. They only exacted surrender from me. Politics that extorts a unilateral submission from one side should come to an end.
* Confidence Vote, April Polls
. . . I have repeatedly said that I will take responsibility for what my fellow citizens may think as unsuitable for me as the head of state.
. . . Now I say that I will accept the results of the April 15 general elections as the judgment of the people on me and make a political decision correspondingly.
. . . I might not be able to evade the situation in which I have to stake my post, and I will not cling to the post at all. There will be an occasion soon when I can elaborate in more detail on the decision and method, which are too important to be disclosed today.
. . . But, when I said I will respect the results of the general elections, it means that whether I must resign or I can continue in office will depend on the outcome of the polls.

Nation in shock over Roh impeachment
. . . Most who spoke with The Korea Herald opposed the impeachment. And a poll taken just days before the vote suggested about 60 per cent of South Koreans felt the same way.
. . . "It is ridiculous," said angry office worker Lee Sun-young, who is in her 20s. "If someone has to be impeached for small things like President Roh was, all politicians in Korea must be impeached. Today will be recorded as a shameful day in our history." Yonsei University student Jamie Kais said, "He did not do enough things wrong to be impeached." Like many others, this foreign student fears the National Assembly's decision will plunge the country into confusion.

US-ROK Row May Delay Troop Dispatch to Iraq
. . . South Korea��s plan to deploy some 3,600 soldiers to the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk in late April will likely be delayed due to differing views between Seoul and Washington over the troops�� mission and operational command.
. . . According to the original agreement with the U.S., the Korean troops were supposed to take charge of rehabilitation works in Kirkuk under an independent operational command, by replacing a U.S. brigade currently deployed there.
. . . But, the U.S., citing the worsening security situation, requested to keep some remaining forces in several areas, such as an airport in the city, even after the arrival of Korean soldiers. Some media reports speculate that the U.S. also want the Korean soldiers to be under the U.S. command.

Science Fiction
In 1996 a scientist claimed he'd found a way to defeat AIDS. In the wave of euphoria that followed, a batch of new drugs flooded the market. Four years later, those drugs are wreaking unimaginable horror on the patients who dared to hope. What went wrong?
Ask NOAH
Mycoplasma Pneumonia (Atypical Pneumonia, Walking Pneumonia)
Gulf War illnesses dot.com
Mycoplasma and New Respiratory Illnesses Including SARS
The figure below documents a patent on the most important ��pathogenic mycoplasma.�� The developer was the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology ��inventor�� Dr. Shyh-Ching Lo. Lo assigned the rights and royalties on the patent to AFIP��s American Registry of Pathology in Washington, D.C. As detailed herein, this lethal germ had been genetically engineered during the mid-1980s by Lo and colleagues. They initially isolated the germ from AIDS patients. They planned to use it later to detect antibodies in HIV carriers as well as to develop vaccines against mycoplasma.
Mycoplasma, for the reasons Dr. Nicolson described, and their ��stealth virus��-like capacity to evade the immune system thereby being very difficult to identify and treat, had been routinely used by top secret biological weapons researchers and genetic engineers as early as 1970 as shown in the next figure. The following is a list of experiments conducted on Huntsville Prison inmates in Texas in collaboration with Baylor University School of Medicine. This school, by the way, was also administratively linked to George H.W. Bush, one of the Board of Advisors of the University. This information holds further implications as detailed below. While reading this list, note the date and title of the first ��mycoplasma vaccine�� study was September 10, 1970, and included pneumonia. This has relevance to the currently outbreaking Gulf War Syndrome II, which Pentagon officials have stated sources from an unidentified form of bacterial pneumonia.
It should be noted that Mycoplasma is considered a cross between a bacteria and a virus. Many current investigators believe it is another man-made laboratory creation since it is relatively new in the history of microbiology... Other mycoplasma-associated illnesses include many autoimmune ailments additionally related to ��stealth virus�� infections, all of which have increased dramatically in recent years.
Moreover, serious respiratory ailments described by Lo in his mycoplasma patent report are highly reminiscent of SARS, as well as Gulf War Sydrome II respiratory illnesses. (For official reports on GWS II-associated pneumonia, see the articles section of this website.) . . .
Sharon Briggs
Mycoplasma and Chronic Fatigue and
Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS)
HISTORICAL ASPECTS
. . . Suspicion by a noted researcher Garth Nicolson, Ph.D. (originally of the M D Anderson Cancer Research Center in Texas and lately of the Institute for Molecular Medicine in Huntington Beach, CA) that the Mycoplasma fermentans incognitus was bioengineered in order to make it more virulent and useful for germ warfare was another revelation I was unable to handle, at first. Dr. Nicolson explained that he identified an alteration in the molecular structure of the Mycoplasmas he had found in Gulf War Veterans who were ill. The Mycoplasmas were found to have had an envelope gene from an HIV organism inserted into its nucleus (GP 120). This would make the organism more invasive and harder to treat. He explained that this insertion does not occur naturally, but can be "forced" using specialized laboratory techniques. (A mutation caused within a laboratory setting.) While germ warfare is certainly not a subject that is pleasant or easy to think about, we cannot afford to bury our heads in the sand, either. . .
Now that Dr. William Reeves has openly admitted that funds, earmarked by Congress for the study of CFIDS, were misappropriated by the CDC, the next question is WHY? Why has the CDC and NIH not funded any studies of suspected pathogens? Why was the diversion of funds used for psychological studies as the only explanation of CFIDS? . . .
Consider the following information supplied by Elizabeth Naugle of the Candida & Dysbiosis Information Foundation:
It has been legal for the last two decades for the Department of Defense (DOD) to test chemical and biological warfare agents on civilian populations without their knowledge. [United States Code Annotated, Title 50, War and National Defense, Chapter 32, Section 1520. Passed into public law on July 30, 1977; quietly repealed on Nov. 18, 1997 as part of the DOD 1998-99 appropriations bill, after outrage voiced by Gulf War Vets.]
Prior to 1977, the University of Maryland conducted mycoplasma vaccine testing on prison inmates. [JAMA 199:353-58, Feb. 6, 1967]
In the early 1970��s, Mycoplasma vaccines and many viral agents were tested on inmates of the Texas prison system by doctors affiliated with the University of Texas, in Houston. [Ref: "Medical Research, Experimentation and Pharmaceutical Testing in the Texas Department of Corrections" by Robert Russell Bozzelli, 1974 Master��s Thesis, Sam Houston State University.]
Research done by a fellow sufferers, Sean and Leslee Dudley from the Mycoplasma Registry, led me to the possible connection between Mycoplasma and CFIDS. They led me to a researcher by the name of Shyh-Ching Lo. Lo originally filed a patent on Mycoplasma, with the US Patent Office in 1986. . . .

Peace in Family Life

Marriage is multicultural
As an evangelical Christian, I believe and affirm the biblical model of the family. But as an Asian-American, it is clear to me that the traditional family is not just a Western construct. The traditional family is an Asian construct as well-because it's universal.
"It is by the great rite of marriage that mankind subsists the myriad generations," the philosopher Confucius said, around the year 500 B.C.
