Good People,
President Kagame of Rwanda should be put to task on the instability of Congo by engineering, facilitating and financing M23. There are enough evidence and he must not be left to get away with it.
This will serve as a measure of discipline to those of like minded who lack idea of good governance with just rule of law, but believe in the jungle rule of theft, massacre, invasion with illegal occupation of land through land grabbing to get rich quick.
Lack of wisdom with inability to be responsible drive people to hopelessness without focus for sustainability drive. Because of this, Kagame have created too many enemies for himself because of acting stupid........He will only realize his stupidity and foolishness once he is commissioned to face justice at the ICC Hague.
I feel sorry for Kagame, because, one way or the other, the world must unite with the people of Congo for justice to be doneand the spirit of reconcilliation to begin to reconcile the broken hearted, so life can be of meaning and people to begin to plant seeds for happiness, putting behind their torment, pain and sufferings for the sake of a better future........
The enemy of Africa as well as reason for poverty with ineffective
development, lies in the pillars of corruption, graft and impunity.
Dealing with corruption demands commitment of the people to demand how
they wish to be governed. Peoples demand can be made strong where
the people having understood that, the Government is people and the peoples
interest comes first, commit to form themselves in a unity of purpose under
Civil Societies, they then agree to fight and challenge corruption, graft and
impunity by all means, form and shape, and through voices of reason they make
their voices heard and they demand for answers. This will help
stop Conflict of interest by public servants through checks and
balances.
Government
officials with political elected members are the facilitators of economic crimes
which consists of under-table deals that spur corruption from abuse of office
and with it, they cannot avoid engaging in fraud with embezzlement and
misappropriation of public funds which amounts to breach of trust.
It also includes engaging in projects without planning because of
the hurry to put money in their pockets as fast as they could before they are
caught dipping their hands in a honey jar.
The behavior are
fraudulent in nature and are what has failed Africa’s public institutions with
economic collapse and are what created worrisome poverty index in Africa.
If found, those involved must be made to pay or be punished for
corruption offences and economic crimes they put the country, and in the event,
they damage public property with great loses in Tax evasion including the
avoidance of levy. This means that, the country is flooded with
sub-standard or defective goods, many times, payments are made for services not
rendered or goods that are not supplied at all.
Economic crimes
must punishable, which is why, people must engage their Government through
demanding for Responsibility, Integrity, Transparency and accountability;
without which, politically correct network will
always lobby for free loading of public utilities, facilities, misappropriation
and embezzlement of public finances, wealth and
resources.

UN says Rwanda troops help DR Congo rebels: envoys
22 hours ago
Rwanda has repeatedly denied charges that it backs the M23 rebels, who occupied the city of Goma in eastern DR Congo for 10 days last November.
But as fresh fighting flared in the resource-rich region, assistant UN secretary general Edmond Mulet told the Security Council that Rwandan soldiers had assisted the fighters, according to diplomats.
On Thursday, government forces backed by UN troops shelled rebels near Goma.
Artillery fire could be heard around Kibati north of Goma, the capital of the turbulent North Kivu province, where the DR Congo army and a newly-formed UN intervention brigade have been battling M23 rebels for a week.
The UN brigade has been given the first ever mandate by the UN Security Council to launch offensive peacekeeping operations against armed groups.
As tensions ran high along the border, a Rwandan woman was killed and her baby injured in what Kigali alleged was "deliberate" cross-border shelling by the DR Congo army, the FARDC.
Mulet, however, said UN forces had witnessed M23 rebels firing artillery from into neighbouring Rwanda, according to the diplomats.
"MONUSCO has not witnessed any shelling by the FARDC into Rwanda. These are areas where FARDC are not present," Mulet was quoted as saying.
UN leader Ban Ki-moon had telephoned Rwanda's President Paul Kagame to urge "restraint" over the mounting tensions in eastern DR Congo, Mulet told the closed Security Council meeting, according to diplomats.
His briefing is set to ignite new controversy over external backing for the rebels who have been battling the DR Congo government around the key eastern city of Goma for the past 18 months.
A UN soldier from Tanzania was killed in the fighting on Wednesday, and three South African soldiers have been hurt in the clashes.
The M23 rebels have emerged as one of the most formidable forces operating in the DR Congo's east. They accuse the Kinshasa government of reneging on a 2009 peace pact and a deal to hold direct talks, and have threatened to attack Goma again.
Rwanda -- a temporary Security Council member -- has blocked a bid to impose UN sanctions on two M23 leaders as well as a council press statement condemning the death of the Tanzanian peacekeeper, diplomats said.
Rwandan Foreign Minister Louise Mushikiwabo issued a furious statement condemning the DR Congo army, accused of firing on Rwanda and supporting Hutu rebels involved in the Rwandan genocide of 1994.
"We have remained restrained for as long
as we can but this provocation can no longer be tolerated. We have the capacity
to determine who fired at us and will not hesitate to defend our territory.
Rwanda has a responsibility to protect its population," she said.
Western military sources who asked not to
be named said that the latest clashes could be a prelude to a full-on assault by
the army and UN troops. They have an unprecedented mandate to take the offensive
against the armed movements long active in the mineral-rich but impoverished
Kivu region.
The two eastern Kivu provinces, North and
South, have been chronically unstable since two wars wracked the vast country
between 1996 and 2003, drawing in armies from neighbouring and southern African
countries, who fought in part over access to vast mineral wealth.
All flights to Goma, a city of a million
people, have been suspended since the outlying airport is vulnerable, said a
source in MONUSCO, the UN mission in the country.
The UN intervention force is using attack
helicopters and mortars in the Kibati hills, while firing on other rebel
positions with heavy artillery, according to MONUSCO spokesman Madnodje
Mounoubai.
UN-deployed South African snipers have
also reported killing six M23 rebels.
Four shells fell early Wednesday night on
Goma, two of them striking the area where the airport lies east of the city, but
nobody could say who fired them. Residents said shellfire killed one person and
wounded about 15 others in the north of the city.
