 | Where French passed from East to West, south to North since centuries
from Rwanda, Côte Ivoire, Angola, Congo, Somali, Cambodia, Indochina,
….. Where French passed, they left crime, genocide, the terrible
human tragedy, the insulting chaos world. And yet, and yet, with their
manipulation and sill, they get out from those hell with clean hand.
War, crime, manipulation are their specialities. The specialists of
the perfect crime
You, who pretend to be superior human kind with your extreme
intelligence, your cruelty and your low moral than animal kind. You,
who pretend to be peace lover, who pass your time to preach your shit
peace french shit over the world with your viper mouth and heart. We
are enough, enough of your shit peace lover, enough of your arrogant
insulting hypocrisy, enough of your shit love, your shit liberty, your
shit equality, your shit fraternity. Those are only a kind of deco,
the flowers on the sea of crime. Stop that hypocrisy, stop that crime,
stop that crime against other human kind, will you, the French …….

Au nom des folies grandeurs, l'homme est capable de pires des choses –
de crime organisé de infime déluge au crime Etat grandeur nature, tout
est permit. Les grand puissances se permettent se distraire à des jeux
intrépides au détriment des vies des innocents au nome de leur folies,
puisse ils s'en sortent propres comme ils viennent de sortir d'un
blanchisserie et se chargent leur propres crimes sur les dos leurs
propres victimes……….
Du Cambodge au Somalie en passant par Congo, Rwanda, (et bientôt Côte
d'Ivoire ?) et j'en passe …… les crimes sont signés avec des mêmes
bandes de criminels, invisibles mais bien réels.
Le crime au Rwanda n'est pas un cas isolé, il est semblable à un doit
près avec ce du Cambodge. ………..

Génocide des Tutsis au Rwanda : au nom des rêves d'empire
Camille Bauer, Emmanuel Chicon et Benjamin Bibas
Dix ans après le génocide, la France peine à reconnaître sa
responsabilité dans une tragédie qui a fait plus de 800 000 morts.
Cette hésitation n ?est pas innocente : elle vise à camoufler son
soutien au clan extrémiste hutu qui a organisé ce crime. Paris
cherchait à défendre son pré carré africain face aux Américains.
Aujourd'hui, les génocidaires retournés au pays sont jugés, tandis que
des exilés monnaient leur savoir-faire, notamment en « Françafrique ».
patriotique rwandais (FPR)(1), la fine fleur de l'armée française
débarque à Kigali. C'est le début de l'opération Noroît qui, sous
couvert d'évacuer les étrangers, inaugure une période de coopération
militaire sans précédent. La France envoie à Kigali le
lieutenant-colonel Canovas. Sa mission : « Conseiller discrètement
l'état-major des Forces armées rwandaises (FAR) pour tout ce qui
concerne la conduite des opérations » (2).En clair, assurer le
commandement indirect des FAR. Le nombre de conseillers militaires
français ne cesse de croître et leur rôle s'étend. Ils forment les
unités d'élite de l'Armée gouvernementale rwandaise (autre nom des
FAR), mono-ethnique hutue. Officiellement, les Français n'entraînent
pas les miliciens, mais ils ne peuvent ignorer que l'armée rwandaise
gonfle à vue d'oeil (de 5 000 à 50 000 hommes entre 1990 et 1992) avec
l'enrôlement expéditif de jeunes recrues qui constitueront l'essentiel
des milices génocidaires. Les militaires français mettent également en
place « un dispositif de surveillance » de l'accès à Kigali, reposant
sur des barrages sur lesquels ils interviennent. Certains auraient
même pris part à des interrogatoires musclés d'opposants. Dans le même
temps, les livraisons d'armes officielles, ainsi que les cessions
gratuites du ministère de la Défense français, atteignent une valeur
globale de 180 millions de francs.
Cette coopération est entourée de la plus grande discrétion. Car
l'état-major français se dote au Rwanda d'un système de commandement
parallèle à la hiérarchie classique. Dès le début de la coopération
avec le Rwanda, en 1975, l'armée française y est dirigée par la
Mission militaire du ministère de la Coopération ou, en cas de crise,
directement par l'état-major des armées. Un simple arrêté, publié le
24 juin 1992, crée le Commandement des opérations spéciales (COS) et
officialise cette hiérarchie parallèle. Le COS prend ses ordres
directement auprès de l'état-major et de l'Élysée. Autant dire qu'il
se trouve « affranchi de tout contrôle démocratique hors la personne
du Président » (3) .
Les militaires français présents au Rwanda partagent avec leurs alliés
hutus la haine du FPR, que certains qualifient de « Khmers noirs » et
qu'ils considèrent comme le fer de lance de l'impérialisme américain
dans la région, car ils sont soutenus par l'anglophone voisin
ougandais. De la lutte contre le FPR à l'assimilation des Tutsis en
tant qu'« ennemis de l'intérieur », il n'y a qu'un pas, franchi par
les extrémistes hutus et certains Français. Ceux-ci peaufinent un
dispositif politico-militaire qui applique les six piliers de la
doctrine de guerre révolutionnaire : « Déplacement des populations à
grande échelle, fichage systématique, création de milices
d'autodéfense, action psychologique, quadrillage territorial et
hiérarchies parallèles (4). »Cette doctrine a été forgée dans les
années 1950 par quelques hauts gradés « coloniaux » qui ont combattu
en Indochine et en Algérie (5). Leurs héritiers, caressant un vieux
rêve, trouvent une oreille complaisante en la personne de François
Mitterrand.
Pourtant, Paris n'ignore rien de la radicalisation d'un régime qui
attise la haine ethnique pour se maintenir au pouvoir. Les massacres
antitutsis qui ont accompagné l'avènement de l'État rwandais « moderne
» hutu reprennent entre 1990 et 1993. Ils se déroulent parfois, comme
à Bigogwe, à proximité de camps d'entraînement où officient des
militaires français. La création, à partir de 1990, d'organes de
presse extrémistes qui vont jouer un rôle clef dans l'embrigadement
des populations, comme la Radio-Télévision libre des Milles Collines
(RTLM) ou le journal Kangura, n'est pas non plus un secret. Paris
reçoit et ignore, en 1993, plusieurs rapports d'organisations de
défense des droits de l'homme ou de l'ONU, qui évoquent explicitement
le risque d'un génocide. Malgré les accords d'Arusha, signés en août
1993, entre le FPR et le gouvernement rwandais, qui stipulent le
retrait complet des forces françaises, 24 assistants militaires
techniques se trouvent encore au Rwanda début avril 1994. À cette
époque, Paris « estime que le renforcement de son aide militaire au
gouvernement rwandais est le seul moyen d'échapper à la logique de
guerre en obligeant le FPR à s'asseoir à la table des négociations
(voir note 2) ».
Quand le génocide, qui fera 800 000 morts, commence dans la nuit du 6
avril 1994, juste après l'attentat contre l'avion d'Habyarimana, la
France reste solidaire de sa « famille ». Elle évacue, avant ses
ressortissants, Agathe Habyarimana, veuve du chef de l'État assassiné,
avec sa famille et ses proches. Jusqu'à la victoire du FPR, l'État
français continue de reconnaître le gouvernement intérimaire rwandais
(GIR), formé le 9 avril, par les plus radicaux dans l'enceinte de
l'ambassade de France de Kigali. Alors que le génocide bat son plein,
le ministre des Affaires étrangères du GIR est reçu à Paris. Il n'est
pas le seul. Un document retrouvé par la journaliste Colette
Braeckmann atteste d'une rencontre survenue le 9 mai entre le
lieutenant-colonel Rwabalinda, adjoint du chef d'état-major des FAR,
et le général Huchon, qui dirige la Mission militaire de coopération.

| The following immoral and illegal act by the French president Jacques
Chirac is not the first time he is doing this kind of immoral acts.
French presiedent and the French culture of corruption did exactly the
same with Saddam for many years, helped the tyrant of Iraq to do evil,
received kick-backs and bribes from Saddam allowing Saddam get his way
with the UN food-for-oil program, and turned around resisted the
efforts of the USA to remove Saddam and his thugs from power and from
murdering innocent people of Iraq, and refused to join the coalition
led by the USA.
Now some French citizens and politicians want to impeach the French
president and a court is pressing charges against him for the
kickbacks and bribes he received from Saddam and other tyrats, and
other illigal activities he has been committing.
French president Jacques Chirac is one of the most corrupt, immoral
and racist politicians of French and European history.

French President Criticized for "Helping a Tyrant to Do Evil"
In order to blandish China and further increase economic profits,
French President Jacques Chirac is constantly calling on the European
Union to lift its weapons embargo on China, despite the fact that
human rights in China has not improved since the Tiananmen massacre 15
years ago.
This event drew criticism from European media. Recently, a "Tiananmen
Mother," Ding Zilin, released an open letter to Chirac. In it she
denounces France's efforts to urge the EU to lift the weapons embargo
on China. She says that doing this for the sake of profit is in fact,
"helping a tyrant to do evil," which deviates from the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights. She also stated, "Such gory trade is a
crime against 130 million Chinese people who are still struggling
among the tribulations."
According to The Apple Daily, Ding Zilin told Chirac, "Do you know
that the regime you are in favor of lifting the weapons embargo from,
was one that used shrapnel on its own people? In an old Chinese
saying, what you are doing is ‘helping a tyrant to do evil.'"
Ding also says, "Fifteen years have passed since the Tiananmen
massacre, during which time we can not see any change in the
totalitarian autocratic system by the CPC; moreover, the human rights
situation in China continues to deteriorate. So far, the families of
those killed on June 4 are still an underground group. They were not
even given the right to mourn their murdered family members. So far,
Zhao Ziyang, former General Secretary of the CPC who opposed the
shooting of the students and civilians, is still deprived of basic
personal freedoms. This regime constantly cracks down on the
disadvantaged groups of peasants and workers who appeal for their
basic rights; brutally tortures Falun Gong practitioners; squashes the
family church of Catholicism and Christians, and condemns dissident
and internet writers to heavy sentences."
Ding states that, among the activities in the Sino-France Culture
Year, there was no representation of human rights, with much of
Chirac's speech deviating from the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, and betraying the spirit of French democracy and human rights.
It was reported that the European Union placed an embargo on trade in
arms with China in 1989 following Beijing's brutal massacre of
pro-democracy advocates. Paris-based Reporters Without Borders states
that lifting the arms trade would mean a corresponding rectification
of the June 4 incident; however, the Chinese Chairman, Hu Jingtao,
says there is no necessity to review the June 4 incident.
Britain's Financial Times, in its editorial on October 8, reminds
Chirac and his European partners to pay attention to the Chinese human
rights record. The editorial points out that the Chinese regime would
use weapons from the EU to crackdown on dissidents, promote its
sovereignty in the South China Sea, and assault Taiwan and U.S. troops
who reinforce Taiwan.
Additionally, an article in the French newspaper Le Figaro, also
criticizes Chirac's endorsement of lifting the EU's arms embargo on
China as turning a blind eye on China's appalling human rights record.

Letter to French President Jacques Chirac Regarding Human Rights in
China
Brussels, October 5, 2004
Your Excellency,
We write to urge that human rights be prominent on the agenda for your
visit to China from October 8-12, 2004. We respectfully urge that as
part of France's efforts to promote universal adherence to
international rights standards, you raise the issue of China's dismal
record in all your official meetings. We urge further that you use
this important trip to publicly stress how necessary human rights
protections and the rule of law are to the growth of a favorable
investment environment in China.

For years, many in the international business community have made the
argument that investment in China will fuel the rise of a middle
class; that its members will demand a well-established rule of law and
better human rights protections; that the government will have no
choice but to accede to the new demands; and that the ensuing climate
will simultaneously ensure human rights and nation-wide stability.
While there are some signs of progress, China's growing wealth is
increasingly creating stark inequalities, which, coupled with the lack
of basic rights protections and avenues to express grievances
peacefully, are fuelling rising social unrest.
Although President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao promised to
address the causes of this unrest, no fundamental reforms have taken
place. Indeed, there has been an upsurge in restrictions on:
• freedom of expression, especially in relation to the Internet;
• protestors peacefully agitating for redress on grievances related to
housing rights, labor rights, police abuse, and access to health care;
• Uighurs in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region and;
• Tibetans in the Tibet Autonomous Region and neighboring provinces.
Two factors underlie the lack of fundamental reform: the concern of
China's leaders with the possibility of political instability and a
related diminution of the Communist Party's monopoly on power, and
China's confidence that business opportunities in China are more
important to Western governments and investors than human rights and
the rule of law.
Mr. President, we urge you to prove that the last point is incorrect
in your upcoming trip. In your discussions with your Chinese
counterparts, we urge you to raise the following issues and suggest
the following remedial steps:
• Although the Chinese leadership has repeatedly said that the Chinese
legal system is based on the rule of law, it is still seriously flawed
and the law regularly is trumped by national and local political
considerations. While there have been commendable efforts to
strengthen the legal system in recent years, broad and vague legal
language permits the laws to be applied arbitrarily. Party officials
have the power to intercede at every level of the judicial system.
Many are themselves beyond the reach of the law. The lack of checks
and balances within a one-party system breeds a culture of corruption
and despite current attempts to reform the police, officers often act
as private collection and protection troops for local officials.
The issues affect the business community in several ways. Corruption
is costly. Legal decisions cannot be enforced. The judicial process
itself is heavily weighted in favor of the prosecution. Lawyers who
robustly defend clients against the wishes of officials have been
forced to abandon their profession. The absence of a free press, and
thus access to relatively complete business news, makes it difficult
for businesses to evaluate investment opportunities.
Human Rights Watch recommends that France urge China to ensure that
lawyers are fully able to carry out their roles as counsel without
improper interference from the government. In addition, we recommend
that you urge the removal of mechanisms that give Party Secretaries
and Committees special input into legal and judicial decisions.
• A European Union arms embargo was enacted in response to the
suppression of protesters in Tiananmen Square on June 3-4, 1989. To
date, no one has been held accountable for the large number of deaths
or the decision to use force to quell what the Chinese government
still labels a counterrevolutionary rebellion. Some protesters are
still imprisoned, sentenced on the basis of trials that did not meet
international standards. Others, such as Ding Xilin, who organized the
Tiananmen Mothers to call for reparations and the right to publicly
mourn, are continually harassed. In June 2004, the 72-year old Dr.
Jiang Yanyong, who came to international attention in 2003 when he
revealed the cover-up of the SARS epidemic in Beijing, was detained
and subject to thought reform for asking for a reevaluation of the
Tiananmen verdict. He was on duty at a military hospital the night of
the crackdown.
We urge you to reverse your expressed position of unconditionally
lifting the current E.U. arms embargo. We are convinced that a
continuation of the E.U.'s arms embargo is of utmost importance until
the Chinese leadership addresses issues of accountability,
reparations, and fair trials.
• As many as a million Chinese farmers contracted HIV in the 1990s
through blood collection centers run by health department officials
and their relatives. In Henan province, senior officials covered up
the epidemic for years, harassed critics and protestors, and expelled
Chinese and international journalists attempting to report the story.
No Henan official has been brought to account. Some have been
promoted; some are administering domestic and international aid funds.
The deaths in Henan have left behind impoverished orphans and
destroyed communities. Many HIV-positive children cannot afford school
fees; those who can are often turned away by fearful school officials.
Student volunteers and grass-roots collectives have tried to fill the
gap. However, Henan officials resent them for attracting international
attention to the province's AIDS crisis and to the government's
failure to address it. In 2004, provincial officials closed three
nonprofit facilities for AIDS affected children.
France is a major contributor to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS,
Tuberculosis and Malaria, an organization which has promised to fund
AIDS care in China. We thus urge you to take the lead in pressing for
an investigation and full accountability for the Henan blood scandal.
China is cracking down on Muslin Uighurs in China's northwestern
Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region in the name of the "global war on
terror". Although some Uighurs in the region advocate for full
independence from China, others favor respect for the legal autonomy
intended under Chinese law on autonomous regions. Some of those
supporting independence have employed violence for political ends; the
vast majority have not. The Chinese government has chosen to label
Uighurs who try to assert political, religious, or cultural autonomy
through any but party and government-approved institutions as
"terrorists" or criminals. In addition, the alleged presence of
terrorists in Xinjiang has been used as a pretext for cracking down on
freedom of expression, association, and religion. Tensions in the
region are exacerbated by the economic marginalization of the Uighur
population in light of official policies to encourage the in-migration
of ethnic Han.
In 2004, at least five Uighurs were executed, and in mid-September,
the ranking official in Xinjiang said that during an eight-month
period the courts had sentenced 50 to death. He said that they had not
yet been executed. No additional information has been forthcoming.
Consistent with French policy that any anti-terror measures must be
conducted in full accordance with international law, we urge you
during your trip to reject the language of "terrorism" in describing
Uighur separatism, to press for an end to prosecution of Uighurs for
engaging in independent cultural and religious activity or peacefully
advocating for political independence or autonomy, and to urge China
to fully protect the rights of Uighurs to free expression,
association, and religion in accordance with international standards.
• The human rights situation in Tibet continues to be extremely poor
and requires vigilance. The number of monks in any given monastery and
the total number in all of Tibet continue to be restricted. Mandatory
patriotic re-education regularly occurs in monasteries and nunneries.
Monks and nuns who refuse to acknowledge that Tibet has always been a
part of China, or who maintain allegiance to, or refuse to denounce,
the Panchen Lama acknowledged by the Dalai Lama risk expulsion. The
government and party continue to interfere in other purely religious
matters.
Peacefully advocating for a free Tibet or hoisting the banned Tibetan
flag can result in torture and imprisonment. New cases continue to
come to the attention of Human Rights Watch.
In addition, there have been reports that villagers are forced to
relocate their residences to accommodate resource extraction and
hydroelectric projects and the reclamation of degraded land. Many
rural Tibetans have been forced to migrate to urban areas to try to
earn a living. However, language difficulties, functional illiteracy,
and lack of appropriate skills have made it difficult for Tibetans to
find jobs.
Mr. President, we urge you to request that the Chinese government
refrain from interference in religious affairs, and that it respect
Tibetans' right to free expression, including their right to
peacefully advocate for Tibetan independence. We urge that Chinese
laws and regulations be made fully consistent with the U.N. Convention
against Torture and Other Cruel Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or
Punishment, which China ratified in 1988.
We wish you a fruitful journey to China.
Sincerely,
Brad Adams
