Press Statement – Burundi : Repression of a genocidal character, the UN’s response must be strong (15.04.2016)

burundi-protests

PARIS, France, April 15, 2016 Back from a fact-finding mission in Burundi, conducted in March 2016, FIDH and ITEKA condemn serious human rights violations in Burundi, mainly perpetrated by defence and security forces, against a background of ethnic and genocidal ideology. The ongoing crimes could already be qualified as crimes against humanity and there are now signs that the crisis could lead to acts of genocide. This crisis demands a strong response from the UN, notably through the deployment of a UN police and an international commission of inquiry to prevent mass atrocities.

Since April 2015, 700 people have allegedly been killed, 4,300 have been arbitrarily detained, and several hundred people (800 according to some sources) have been forcily disappeared.  Hundreds of other people have been tortured and dozens of women have been sexually assaulted. As a result of the conflict in Burundi, more than 250,000 Burundians have already fled the country. While the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon is set to submit options for the deployment of UN elements by 15 April, FIDH and ITEKA, call upon the international community, including the UN Security Council, to deploy an international police task force of at least 500 police officers with the objective of protecting civilians, stopping ongoing lethal violence, and preventing further armed clashes. FIDH and Iteka believe that if these trends continue, the  African Union or the United Nations  must send a peacekeeping force  to end the violence and the repression of an increasingly genocidal nature.
During its mission, and in a forthcoming report, the FIDH delegation has documented and established the continuation of targeted and extra-judicial killings; of daily arbitrary arrests and detention; of the intensification of enforced disappearances and illegal detention facilities as well as torture. FIDH also witnessed the high level of surveillance and control on Burundian society by security forces, including by the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and by the ruling party’s youth militias, the Imbunerakure.

“The situation is particularly worrying with the NIS – the main actor of the repression – that has infiltrated every layer of society and systematically tortures detainees. Parallel chains of command have been established within the security forces to orchestrate the repression. Part of the Imbunerakure1 militia is trained, armed, and deployed throughout the country and acts as the defacto security forces. Tensions within the army are extremely vivid. The international community must do everything in its power to protect civilians and prevent the situation from getting out of control,” said Karim Lahidji, FIDH President. “The nature of the crimes witnessed by the FIDH delegation could very well fall under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Prosecutor, Ms Fatou Bensouda, should immediately open a preliminary examination of the situation in Burundi, which is state party to the ICC” he added.

policiers-burundi

The evidence gathered by FIDH and ITEKA establishes that the Tustis are particularly targeted by the violence and due to  their ethnicity. They are more targeted during arrests, are subject to ethnic insults from security forces and systematically tortured during detention. The public and private messages of members of the ruling party CNDD-FDD or regime supporters are referring to Tutsis more and more openly as “enemies, “terrorists” and “genocidal insurrection”.2 Since the assassination on 22 March 2016, of Lieutenant-colonel Darius Ikurakure3, pillar of Burundi’s repressive system, targeted killings of soldiers belonging to the former Burundian Armed Forces – FAB (mainly composed of Tutsis) – have also increased.

According to information gathered by FIDH and ITEKA, more than 10 former Burundian army soldiers have been killed by unidentified men since the beginning of March. These elements are part of a larger context marked by an increasingly ethnic discourse by Burundian authorities and their supporters. The day before the funeral of the Lieutenant-Colonel Darius Ikurakure, messages were circulated on social media, including the following: “Dear HUTUS, wake up! Tomorrow we will bury another hero of the anti-Tutsi struggle, his excellency Lieutenant General Darius Ikurakure. Hutu officers and civilians will attend to thank him for his work. Come in number, and be careful and remember that he hero must not die alone, za mujeri sindumja muzincunge bibaye ngombwa mukore. Delende is Mike [watch those emaciated dogs, I am not a slave, if you must: work]. A word to the wise is enough! KORA [work]” circulated on social media. The term to “work” ,was used in Rwanda by the Hutu genocidal government to call upon the elimination of Tutsis. It was also used on 1 November 2015, by Burundian Senate President, Révérien Ndikuriyo, in front of his supporters and several Imbunerakure: “if you hear the signal with an order that it must end, emotions and tears will have no place !” and added “you must spray, you must exterminate those people (…) Wait for the day when we will say “work.”, you will see the difference!”. The conversation was not supposed to be recorded.

Burundian security forces involved in the repression are themselves made up of men who know how to execute orders and can “get things done,”  according to a source close to the security services. “They are over 95% Hutus” adds the source. About ten units, among which the NIS, the Riot Squad (BAE), the Special Battalion for Institution Protection (BSPI), the Institution Protection Agency (API), the Combat Engineering Battalion (BGC), the Mobile Group for Rapid Intervention (GMIR) and Special Research Police(PSR), are led by those loyal to the regime directly linked through parallel command chains, to the presidency, including the civilian cabinet. Those persons, responsible for the repression, could be incriminated for the crimes perpetrated directly by them or under their authority and should be subjected to criminal prosecution and individual sanctions by international institutions and influential diplomatic bodies.

Burundi-Museveni-Nkurunziza
“FIDH and ITEKA are very concerned about the ethnic nature of the repression in recent months, the authoritarian rhetoric and the use of preventive violence by authorities and their supporters. This reminds of the anti-Hutu genocidal massacres of the last  40 years. The authorities consider that they are the only representatives of the people and refer any kind of political, ethnic and social pluralism to a “them” against “us”, deadly for the country. We solemnly call upon Burundian authorities to uphold the Arusha Agreement by ending the repression, freeing the thousands of political detainees, and take part in an honest dialogue with the opposition and the independent civil society,” urged Anschaire Nikoyagiza, ITEKA President.

In response to the abuses of the regime, many men are joining the ranks of rebel armed groups (Red Tabara and FOREBU). These groups have carried out targeted attacks and killings against representatives of CNDD-FDD, members of law enforcement and Imbonerakure in Bujumbura and in the provinces, which have resulted in civilian casualties.. Indiscriminate attacks against civilians may amount to war crimes and   perpetrators must face justice.

Moreover, the documentation of these violations has become extremely dangerous. Human rights defenders, opponents and independent journalists still in Burundi are living mostly underground. They are followed and receive death threats. Almost every civil society leader, journalists and opposition member have   been forced to flee the country and those who remain, leaders or activists, continue to be subjected to threats or even attacks by men suspected of acting on the behalf of the regime, especially the Imbonerakure.

The disappearance of Marie-Claudette Kwizera, ITEKA treasurer, since her arrest by NIS elements on 10 December 2015 illustrates a worrying phenomenon that would concern hundreds of cases. Some sources report at least 800 people have been foricbly disappeared. The documentation of these disappearances is more and more difficult because of the increase of illegal detention facilities. The Burundian authorities and the Independent National Commission on Human Rights (CNIDH), seized by FIDH on the case of Marie-Claudette Kwizera and other cases of enforced disappearances, were unable to provide explanations or information on the fate of these people who are neither refugees nor officially detained.

“Given the risk of a new civil war and the perpetration of mass crimes, our organisations urge the international community to deploy an international police force in the country (of at least 500 officers) to ensure the protection of civilians and facilitate the holding of an inclusive political dialogue as soon as possible. Furthermore, we call on the Security Council to mandate an independent international commission to investigate the crimes perpetrated since April 2015, ” said Dismas Kitenge, FIDH Vice President.

On 1 April 2016, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2279 urging all parties to the crisis to agree on a timetable for negotiations. It also calls on the UN Secretary-General, to present by 15 April  to the Security Council “options” for the deployment of an international police force. In view of the security and human rights situation prevailing in the country, FIDH and ITEKA urge the UN to ensure that this task force has the mandate and the means to play a stabilizing, deterrent and monitoring role and to intervene in the event of the commission serious human rights violations.

Hvorfor ministre bør høre og ta til seg vitenskap; ikke klippe og lime etter eget befinnende; en Minister skal tjene sitt departement og borgerne, ikke sin egne ideologiske oppfatning eller parti; da kan ministeren gå tilbake til Stortingsbenken!

NRK Valg

Det har den siste tiden gått en storm rundt Statsråd eller Minister Lishaug etter sine holdninger og bruk av vitenskap. Jeg skal ikke fokusere på henne direkte fordi jeg vil ikke bruke min tid på politikere som ikke ser mennesker, men som bare ser problemer. Det er derfor jeg vil ikke ta saken som omhandler Minister Sandberg som ikke har brukt vitenskaplige resultater rundt lakseproduksjonen.

Et departement som har en statsråd eller minister skal innenfor sitt fagfelt og sin del av statsforvaltningen tjene folket med de tjenester og lovverk som gjør dette til en “usynlig” del av hverdagen. Ettersom regelverket og lovverket til departementet skal revideres og gjøres nyttig for samfunnet idag. Derfor når en reviderer lovverk og statsapparatet, eller byråkratiet, så må dette skje sakte og rolig, fordi alle grunnlag og alle aktører som er involvert skal få sitt innspill inn for å gjøre best mulig avgjørelse for departementet og statsråden. Dette gjøres også ved å ha eksterne rådgivere, forskere og konsulenter.

Robert Erikson Lego

At en skal helhetsvurderinger da gjelder det å utføre dette med aktsomhet og sikkerhet. En statsråd kan sin egne politiske mening og sin egen ideologisk tankegang. Dette har alle personer rett til å ha, men som Minister og Statsråd gjør at at de valg en tar, er større enn en selv. Om statsråden vil ha en brødskjeve med brunost og makrell-i-tomat, så er det greit, det er statsrådens eget personlig valg om hva statsråden synes er best. Men, om statsråden skal velge å ratifisere sofistikert regelverk fra den Europeiske Union (EU) eller de Forente Nasjoner (UN) så må dette bli gjort i sammenheng med gjeldene regelverk, grunnlov og også med støtte fra Stortinget. Statsråden kan ikke bare sette igang uten å spørre en sjel. Det handler om etiske og rammene rundt å være en minister. Personen kunne velge pålegg på skjeva uten å spørre, men om du skal forandre departementet så trenger enn rådføring og grunnlag for alternativet som blir brukt.

Et departement og minister er ikke der for en egen fortjeneste. Selv om Ministeren kan gjøre det for ens karrière, grunnen til at en er en del av statsapparatet skal også være for å tjene staten og representere folket. Dette gjør at de valg som gjøres som minister og representant i Stortinget, bør ikke være bare en ideologisk eller parti-politisk avgjørelse, men i tanken for at det skal være for å forbedre Norge. Det samme er det for Departementet som en Minister eller Statsråd styrer.

Å lede ett departement er ikke som å være i private næringsliv. For i det private næringsliv gjelder det å bruke reguleringer, næringsgrunnlag og skape mer profitt for butikken/kjeden eller konsernet. Når en leder i næringslivet tar avgjørelser for å levere best mulig for sine aksjeeiere og for å tjene mer penger på forretningene som blir gjort.
Det en gjør når man leder ett departement er å tjene denne og skape bedre muligheter, lede til en bedre stat og for alle borgere av denne staten. Departementet er der for å gjøre det enten bedre å drive industri og skape forutsetninger for at industrien skal skape flere jobber og bedre produkter enn de produsere i Danmark og Sverige. Det vil være som en minister for Næringslivet ikke ser til at det har vært vitenskaplig grunnlag for bruken av Stevia i drikkevarer eller mat istedenfor sukker. Hvis det var rapporter og forskning som sa at Stevia var mer kreftfremkallende enn sigaretter. Da hadde man forventet at Ministeren for Næringsmiddel departementet og Helse Ministeren hadde gjort noe for å stoppe bruken av Stevia av produkter og import av produkter som inneholder Stevia. Da ville vi gått tilbake til bruke sukker og andre lignende søtnings-middel istedenfor Stevia. Jeg sier ikke at Stevia er Kreftfremkallende, dette er bare et eksempel, nøkkelordene er  “hvis det var”.

Det er dette vi forventer av våres departement og Minister som vi har. At de bruker vitenskapelige fakta og rapporter for å bedre statsapparatet, lytte til direktorater og andre aktører som jobber ved de fagfelt som det angår. Samtidig ikke bruke sin første og beste argument eller vurdering for å gjøre arbeidsdagen for ministeren lettere. Fordi å være minister eller statsråd skal ikke være en enkel jobb.

En Statsråd skal både representere departementet, være en representant for folket og også for sitt parti. Det er mange hatter og ett hode. Til tider vil det være vanskelig å vite hvilken som gjelder for den rollen en minister har. Det som er essensen for valg som en statsråd skal ta, er at den skal tas etter råd og etter redegjørelse før en tar en beslutting. Det skal ikke tas like lett som middagen, skal vi ha torsk eller laks i kveld? Den skal tas med tanke på alle aktører, borgere og gjeldene lovverk for den avgjørelsen som gjøres. Det skal ikke være en hurtig og kjapt valg. Fordi da kan svekke lovverket, svekke reguleringsgrunnlaget for staten og for de det angår.

Kommunereform

For om en Minister skal ta ett valg og reformere eller gjøre noe nytt. Så bør det kunne bevises at det vil skape resultat eller være der for bedre statsforvaltningen. Det er akkurat som jeg er tvilende til at kommune sammenslåingene eller regions sammensettingen virkelig vil være en god økonomisk grunnlag for. Siden det vil kutte veldig få jobber og skape nye konsulent jobber i mellom tiden, fordi å skape nye grenser, nye stor-kommuner og reformere inter-kommunale samarbeid vil være en gull-gruve for konsulent selskaper og andre en del andre, men vil bruke en stor pengesekk for å omgjøre strukturen som er i dag. Spesielt om en legger til tvang mellom kommuner, mulig bygging av nye kommunale bygninger som rådhus og også finne nye løsninger på kommunale råd som er satt idag. Det som ei heller ikke blir diskutert om dette er lengden mellom borgerne og kommunen. En stor-kommune vil gjøre at avstanden mellom kommunenes representanter og borgerne større, dermed også lengre fra kommunale løsninger til de det angår. Dette kan skape et vakuum mellom kommunens innbyggere og rådhuset til kommunenes folkevalgte.

Det er derfor en minister eller statsråd skal ikke bare ta valg på måfå eller konsekvent uten direkte kunne argumentere med forskning eller redegjørelse fordi om en tar feil valg. Så kan dette bli en kostbar affære som også vil være en langsiktig avgjørelse som skaper konsekvenser for borgerne. Akkurat som NAV reformen der en gjorde om statsforvaltningen og tok Aetat, Trygdeetaten og Kommunale Sosialtjenesten inn i en enhet NAV. Det har sakte, men sikkert gått bedre, men i lang tid så det ut som en dårlig reform for de fleste borgere. Man kan fortsatt sette i tvil om det bedret tjenestene for borgerne. Det er derfor vi må ha statsråder som bruker skikkelig grunnlag og gjerne vitenskaplig begrunnet, da vil også reguleringen, loven og reformen som statsråden vil da kanskje ta; vil være bedre for både statsforvaltningen og for statsråden. Siden den vil da gi et bedre tilbud, et bedre samfunn og staten vil da kunne være der for borgerne og ikke for politikerne.

Det en statsråd ikke skal gjøre er å bruke bare sitt eget befinnende og sin egne ideologi. Da kan statsråden eller ministeren gå tilbake til stortingsbenken å være i opposisjon, siden som minister skal en være en akseptabel og leder for ett rådførende organ. Der en skal levere til borgerne innenfor fagfeltet. Hvis en statsråd eller departementet ikke skal lytte til fagfolk eller forskere, så kan en likeså legge ned departementene.

Bjeke Bydel

I og med at man legger ned departementene så trenger en ikke lenger heller å ha redegjørelse, komiteer som er satt for å skape grunnlag for lovforslag, man trenger heller ikke rapporter som skaper et annet grunnlag for avgjørelsen som blir tatt. Man kan også legge til side prosedyrer og regelverk, siden man da er helt fri til å ta avgjørelser uten å tenke konsekvenser eller det som egentlig gjelder allerede. Det er slik en kan begynne å tenke om vitenskap og rapporter ikke skal tas inn i grunnlaget for det statsråden gjør.

Vi vil ikke ha et samfunn der de som representerer oss, ikke gjør et grundig forarbeid og har brukt de andre kloke hodene og hendene inn i avgjørelsene som blir gjort. Da bygger man hus på sandgrunn istedenfor på fjell. Det kan ende med at sanden får huset til synke veldig fort, mens huset på fjell vil stå i vær og vind.

Så jeg håper at våres ministere og statsråder tar til seg all kunnskap. Slik at de kan ta best mulig avgjørelse for sine reguleringer, lover og sine reformer. Ikke bare politiske ideologiske grunnlag, men også være det en Minister eller statsråd som i følge latin etymologi betyr å ‘tjener’. Da vil de si å tjene noe, og dette gjelder å tjene departementet og folket, ikke sin egen karrière. Da en skal tenke på å valgt inn i neste valg, men å gjøre reformer og lover som skal gjelde for neste generasjon av borgere. Peace.

Don Museveni says “I would never accept these foreigners to give me orders about Uganda”; Time to cut the direct donor assistance to the government budget of Uganda and after that let Don Museveni eat alone!

museveni and his gun

“I wouldn’t ask these foreigners, but I would never accept these foreigners to give me orders about Uganda. Or about anything in the world! They got their own countries to run. Let them go and run them. Uganda is ours. Nobody gives us orders here” – President Museveni at Kololo Independence Grounds Speech while celebrating the “Double Victory” on 9th April 2016.

Now that it is not long ago he told the world that Uganda was his playground and he could shot and kill opposition because they had no place in his country. From the same man and leader comes this. Let me ask the international community to react to violent behavior and the aggression this President shows his own county.

The racketeering of the NRM and their Executive has to stop at one point. That can happen when the funds dry up and the ammunition does come with the next boat. The American should stop with their alliance and their UPDF trainings. The Americans should do as they did with the MCC in Tanzania; suspend the projects and direct-donor aid to budget funding of the Ugandan Government.

Total rig Uganda

The French should stop supporting the Government projects in Northern Uganda and cut their loans as they have promised to effect directly the RDC and the other loyal cronies of Northern Uganda. This does so the Capos of the Don get their monies and keeps eating. While the Japanese should stop supporting infrastructure projects together with the Chinese Foreign Ministry, while the CNOOC should terminate their contract with the Uganda Government. Total Oil firm of the French should suspend their operation until the government accept their blood-money. The Same with Heritage Oil for Britain so the UK Gov. should disband their direct government support and take away the incentive from UK to Uganda. The Norwegian Government should suspend the Oil for Development Program that have been a steady program since 2006. Because if you hurt it where it could become most important, then the Don Museveni might listen.

The European Union should to hurt the Foreign Exchange rate suspend the import of Robusta Coffee beans from Uganda, as the export of this is a major factor in the economic trade in the land-lock country. “A total of 271,941 bags of coffee valued at US$ 25.12 million were exported in February 2016 -Source UCDA report”. If you want to hit where it hurts, then you take away the foreign exchange and the foreign exports. This here could really hurt the government that does not want to have any interference or questions about their rule.

If the Donors and giving aid, would suspend or cut the services for the Peacekeepers, the same reaction that the Dutch did with the Burundian Peacekeepers in the AMISOM in Somalia. The same could be done by the American Government and EU as they are the major benefactors for the economic spending ground and facilitators for it.

Muhoozi Museveni

It is not like I am for neo-colonialism, but when a totalitarian and gangster like Don Museveni complains about the US Mission questioning his oppressive behavior and European Union saying their opinion on the display of character showed during the Election and announcement of the results. Then it seems like he does not need any-more international legitimacy for his rule. Only their money and aid when it comes in handy too fuel money to a private plane, refurnishing the State Houses, buying new cars and more estates. Especially considering in FY 2013/2014 the donor assistance of the total budget was 21 % of it. Therefore the USAID, World Bank, IMF, DFID, European Commission, Irish Aid, NORAD and the other contributors should suspend that for the coming financial year of FY 2016/2017. To not hurt the citizens do this instead!

They should support the IDP camps and refugee camps in the Ugandan country through United Nations programs and organizations, build stronger relationship with NGOs in Uganda and forge good governance programs instead of supporting a government who is carrying out rigged election and embezzlement of government funds and international aid. Therefore progressive use of the tax-payers money from the Western Hemisphere, and if that is not working then, use it instead on local infrastructure projects to their own tax-payers.

EuroOK

Especially when a specialized report on Donor Aid to Ugandan Government says this:

Budget support has not helped much in relation to cross sectoral dialogue. Some improvement was realized in education sector as dialogue with Ministry of Local Government and Ministry of Public Service improved. But this has not happened for the health sector” (…)”The power relations between bilaterals and Global Health Initiatives including PEPFER, Global Fund, GAVI, Stop Malaria etc shifted in favour of the latter who had no experience in the development of the budget support process and completely ignored to an apparent ineffectiveness” (…)”Budget support resulted in a greater commitment and quality of dialogue on PFM issues, especially after 2007 with the launch of FINMAP and JBSF. The influence of performance measures on sector dialogue declined from 2011/12, as the link with releases became less clear” (Joint Evaluation of Budget Support to Uganda – Final Report – 2015, P: 132).

This here proves the values of the Donor-Funding and the Budget Support from the International community to the Ugandan Government and the NRM-Regime. The NRM mafia under Don Museveni who says that the Ugandan authority do not want to have internal interference and foreign people questioning his playground. Therefore the authority and the Don want to rest things into peace he lets the people end up resting in peace. As he takes the Army and Police to detain the ones it needs and use draconian laws to oppress his own people.

NRM Oyee! 09.04.2016

Therefore with also the fraudulent election to keep the NRM mafia in order and also silence the opposition; as it even did yesterday the 9th March 2016 with the Military Police taking over the Nakivubo Settlement Primary School so the “Victory Celebration” that was supposed to be held there with Lord Mayor Lukwago and FDC Leader Besigye. This happen while the Crime Preventers, NRM Diehards and the new MPs we’re celebrating at Kololo Independence Grounds while costing the 1, 5 billion shillings. The racket also carries to pay their own and let the kingpin eat the money alone. As he has done since 1986 and the donor have continued to fund the budget support and give Don Museveni money to do his bidding.

Therefore I ask the governments to question if they want to deliver more money the NRM Mafia who uses monies to the army and police, squander away State House money on funding his campaign and also rumors of AMISOM contingent. There are certain numbers on his spending on military is staggering over the years. In between 2011 and end of term 2016 the taxpayers and donor-funding the total Shs. 6.617 trillion to the Army, Police and Intelligence Agencies. Of this in MPS in February 2015 into the portfolio of sophisticated military equipment there was the extended use of Shs. 470 billion, alone that year.

Bundibugyo 28.02.2016

So with that knowledge and knowing the international donors should consider some reactions as he does not accept any interference not internal and not external. The Playground might be for the moment him, the Don Museveni has spoken of killing demonstrating citizens and opposition. The harassment of the ones that question the power of the kingpin!

That is when the international donors in the powers of US Mission in Kampala and their Amb. Malac recently; and also when the European Union does state the fact that the election was not free and fair. Therefore the Don Museveni feels betrayed as this has been loyal men who have given money to his government and not question his power or rule. Because they needed him to do their dirty-laundry and also have a steady ally in the East Africa; as the US have a relationship with Ethiopia and also Kenya, but have a longer engagement with the Ugandan Government, and now accepting the harassment of opposition as a price for some form of stability.

UGDebate2016 P8 Amama

While the other donor-funding is not questioning other than expressing some have cut funding over the $12 Million that was going to Northern Uganda Development Fund (NUDF) in the 2012, that went lost to through the Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi. Also the Anti-Gay Bill had their reactions from UK, Norway and Dutch who cut parts of their aid. So now it is the time again, as the oppression, election fraud and the man who want to be the Don and acts like the Don of Uganda. The Godfather of Uganda has spoken. He does not want to be inference. So since he does not wish to have interference the international donors and bilateral organizations should offer him a hand with that.

The International donors and bilateral organizations should certainly suspend their direct budget support to the Ugandan Government. As they don’t wish to have any interference and can handle it all on their own. The money should instead spend on the Multi-National Organizations working in Uganda, as the OCHA, UNICEF and WFP as they will submit and carry out quick resolved matters in Internal Displaced Camps and around the borders through their projects. Since that will not have any other government questioning their actions, then the other governments should not help to fund their actions. Simple rhetorical assessment that banish the 20 % power of the funds that Don Museveni has at his disposal and use; when outsiders are such a pain, then the pain should leave Don Museveni alone and not support him.

Newspapers Same Scandal Uganda

So the Donors and Bilateral organizations should cut their aid and give less power to Don Museveni and his NRM Mafia who spends and eats alone; while his government does not have money to build health care, roads, schools or the other necessities in the Ugandan Society. But not with Foreign tax-payers money, when they get used on the expensive cars, lavish lifestyle, foreign health care and private planes for the Godfather. There is time to take action as the gangster will act as Don and not as a Statesman. Henceforth, when a player does not want question, but accept your money and not accountable for them; and when the player squander the money and expect to get away with it. Then the Player should lose the ability to get the money from you. The Don Museveni have already had long enough time to deliver and used enough of donor-funds without showing progress. Time to cross out the donor-funding to direct budget support; then Don Museveni does not need to be questioned. As the international community will not have put a stake and being stakeholders for certain parts of the budget. But when they step away, then Don Museveni can be the kingpin and the gangster he want to be in military fatigue and do as he want in his playground, without opposition who should just stay home; and also without foreigners questioning him. Then he can rule alone with the capos, underbosses and then be grand Don Museveni. Peace.

“The United Nations Security Council has unanimously backed a resolution that lays the groundwork for deploying a UN police presence in Burundi to help calm the violence in the troubled nation. The resolution tasks UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon with drawing up within 15 days a list of options for the proposed police force, in consultation with the Burundian government and the African Union. NBS’s Solomon Serwanjja spoke to the Burundian ambassador to Uganda, Jean Bosco Bareza about his government’s reaction to the possible deployment of the UN police in Bujjumbura” (NTV Uganda, 2016).

MCC suspends United States Aid to the Tanzanian Gov. on the grounds of the recent Zanzibar election and a draconian law; while the US. Gov. and USAID have no troubles continuing to aide the Ugandan Gov. with their draconian laws and fraudulent election; Double Standard or just me?

Citizen Front Page March 2016

A strange action happened from an Agency that is a part of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC). They have all of sudden suspended projects in Tanzania after both a so-called draconian law and the recent election on the Island of Zanzibar. Take a quick look!

“A US international development agency has suspended its partnership with Tanzania, citing flawed Zanzibar elections and the draconian Cybercrime Act. The move by the board of directors of Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) means that Tanzania will not be receiving an envisioned $472 million in funding for electricity projects” (…)”The US suspension-of-aid notification cites “arrests made during the elections” in Zanzibar as an indication of the Tanzania government having “engaged in a pattern of actions inconsistent with MCC’s eligibility criteria.” (…) “MCC’s model has a partner country’s commitment to democracy and free and fair elections at its core,” the directors’ statement said” (Kelley, 2016).

Why I will discuss this move and the motivation for it. Is because the USAID and MCC have not done anything after the recent election and all of the laws that have enhanced the powers of the Executive and possibility to move around the Parliament for the Government and certain ministries, therefore easily get funding and short-term loans from the Bank of Uganda without permission of the Parliament, Police laws that monitors the Opposition and controls them even more, also the well-known rigging of the General Election, Parliamentary Election and the Presidential Election in February and early March in 2016.

Zanzibar Election 2016

While the United Republic of Tanzania might have stepped on some toes and had issues during the Zanzibar elections, they have not been close to the systematical oppression the Police and Army have had in Uganda. And the USAID and their agencies have not acted upon it or reissue any of the aid initiatives or anything in the Republic of Uganda, but the United Republic of Tanzania get punished straight away for the similar actions. I wonder if the the Public Order Management Act of 2013 is sweeter and nicer; then the Cybercrime Act and that the Cybercrime act is the official Bad-Act of the Tanzanian Government in the opinion of the United States.

I also wonder if the Tanzanian Government had armies in the wars that the United States does not want to touch, not even with the filthy lying lips of Donald Trump. Because the Tanzanian could have oppressed their opposition, made draconian laws and laws who applies in ways that the ministries and the Executive does not need to take the decision through Parliament before acting. That is Uganda and they have no issues with the USAID and the MCC. Only UNRA have had issues with World Bank and the progression of the World Bank funded Infrastructure and road-building have been suspended because of embezzlement and bad management in the Uganda National Roads Authority; who due the diligence on the development projects. Still the Ugandan Government have had no trouble with the government funds and army exercises from the United States, even the American Fire-Helicopter training together with U.S. Army happened in a month time after the Election Day.

The Double-Standard is too obvious, what is okay for the Ugandan Government is not apparently okay for the Tanzanian Government. That is openly displayed by the United States this time as well.

So I feel there is a theory behind the actions against the Tanzanian government and their actions during the Zanzibar elections, while the Ugandan could walk skootch free with some disregard of the actions in country, but nothing that affects the relationship between Uganda and the Americans. While today the Tanzanian has lost their extra funding for the Projects through the MCC and the USAID operational company. So there is a political factor behind this and the main factor in why the USAID and MCC suspends, but not do the same in Uganda.

The Tanzanian Government does not have army operations or have the close military relationship that Ugandan Government has at the moment. The American are even training in Uganda and the Ugandan army fights wars for them and are likely in the Peacekeepers missions together with buying and getting military equipment from the U.S. even if the Ugandan once in a while buys Anti-Riot Equipment from China and Military equipment from the Russian Federation. Still, the Ugandan has a clearer mission for the American Foreign Affairs and because of that a close ally of Uganda. Something the Tanzanian is not.

Therefore it is easy for the American Government to suspend and punish the Tanzanian. That is why the Ugandan Government have not gotten punished for their lax activity with the former M23 rebels and the allegations of them to be on the payroll of the State House of Uganda, even then the American Government does not questions or punish that behavior. But a few arrests on Zanzibar and the Tanzanian Government get slapped. This while many of the opposition officials have lingered in jail without charges, gone missing and even been in house-arrest for over 40 days in Uganda, without any consequences. That is the double-standard and makes President Museveni Teflon, because he is a necessity for their role in the area. I am not sure why the Americans does this and support him with only remarks in the United Nations and letting go of the European Union comments after the Presidential Elections in the country.

But we have all rights to question the reasons from the Americans as they are supposed to be a moral stature and moral authority; something they cannot be seen in this instance. The Double Moral is staggering. Uganda gets a pass, while Tanzania get suspended its aid. That is the case and cannot be hidden under a rug or be not blasted; especially when we know it happens in such a short time span and under the same administrations in all countries and board-rooms. There are no reasons why Tanzania gets the harsh treatment while the Ugandan walks away with no scratches on their arms. Peace.
