Apparently, Museveni too, was involved in the aerial assassination
of Rwanda's & Burundi's presidents:
... "Garang, a one-time Marxist, may have outlived his usefulness to
Washington and the Bush administration. He would join Savimbi, Mobutu, Kabila,
and other African leaders as "throw aways" for the corporations that determine
America's Africa policy.
"U.S. oil and military policies in the Rift Valley are centered on Uganda's
Museveni, Rwanda's Kagame, and Ethiopia's Meles. No others need apply.
"According to a Secret United Nations memo from March 1997, Museveni's (and
those of his ally, U.S. military client Paul Kagame of Rwanda) fingerprints
were all over the aerial assassination of the Rwandan and Burundian Presidents
in 1994, an event that triggered the worst genocide since World War II and the
eventual dismemberment of Congo/Zaire.
Museveni supplied the Russian-made Igla series surface-to-air missiles,
captured by U.S. forces in Iraq during Operation Desert Storm and used by
Kagame's Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) to shoot down the Rwandan presidential
aircraft.
After seizing power in Rwanda, Kagame, with U.S. and British assistance,
launched two invasions of Congo. Congo's fracture and the eventual
assassination of Congolese President Laurent D. Kabila, with a wink and a nod
from Washington and London, was a boon for U.S, British, and Israeli gold and
diamond miners.
"Kellogg, Brown & Root/Halliburton helped Angola track down and assassinate
Ronald Reagan's 'George Washington of Africa,' Dr. Jonas Savimbi, Angola's
UNITA rebel leader. That was a boon for U.S. oil companies and British and
Israeli diamond and gold miners....

Subject: [UNAANET] Rwanda cuts Relations with France
Rwanda cuts relations with France
President Kagame has always accused France over the genocide
Rwanda has broken off diplomatic ties with Paris, in a row over a French
inquiry related to the 1994 genocide. The government has recalled its envoy
to Paris and given the French ambassador to Kigali 24 hours to leave. A
French judge issued warrants two days ago for the arrest of nine aides of the
Rwandan leader over his predecessor's killing - which sparked the genocide.
Rwanda has accused Paris of trying to destabilise its government. France said
it regretted Rwanda's move to cut ties. Paris has insisted the French judge,
Jean-Louis Bruguiere, acted on his own authority and in total independence.
Issuing the warrants, Judge Bruguiere accused President Paul Kagame - who under
French law has immunity as head of state - of ordering the former president's
death. Mr Kagame has denied involvement. More than 800,000 people died in the
100-day massacres of Tutsis and moderate Hutus which followed the killing of
the ethnic Hutu President Juvenal Habyarimana. 'No
pressure' The French allegations have sparked anger in the Rwandan capital,
Kigali, where about 25,000 people reportedly took part in a
government-organised demonstration against France on Thursday.
ARREST WARRANTS ISSUED
James Kabarebe, military chief-of-staff
Charles Kayonga, army chief-of-staff
Faustin Nyamwasa-Kayumba, ambassador to India
Jackson Nkurunziza, working for presidential guard
Samuel Kanyamera, RPF deputy
Jacob Tumwime, army officer
Franck Nziza, presidential guard officer
Eric Hakizimana, intelligence officer
Rose Kabuye, director general of state protocol

Decades of tension
The Rwandan government has said the French ambassador to Kigali must leave
within 24 hours. Other French diplomats have 72 hours to go. Foreign Minister
Charles Murigande earlier told AFP news agency that Kigali had recalled its
ambassador to Paris as the ministry did not "see why he should be there at this
point". "France is intent on destroying our government, we do not see any
need for keeping any relationship with a hostile country," Mr Murigande said.
BBC world affairs correspondent Mark Doyle says the only surprise about
Rwanda's decision to break off diplomatic relations with France is that it has
not come earlier. Mr Kagame's Tutsi-dominated Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) -
effectively the government - has had appalling relations with Paris for over
two decades, he says, and whatever the quality of the French judge's evidence,
the whole affair was always going to be deeply politicised. The French
foreign ministry said in a brief statement that Rwanda's
decision to break off diplomatic ties would take effect from Monday. "We
regret this decision. We are making all necessary arrangements," it said.
Speaking earlier on Friday, a spokesman had said Paris had no intention of
recalling its own envoy to Kigali and wanted to keep dialogue open. Missiles
Judge Bruguiere is investigating the case because the crew of the plane were
French and their families filed a case in France in 1998.
Thousands turned out to protest against France
Those he wants to arrest include armed forces chief James Kabarebe and army
chief-of-staff Charles Kayonga. Judge Bruguiere has said that only Mr
Kagame's Tutsi-dominated Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) forces had missiles
capable of downing President Habyarimana's plane. He said the attack was
carefully planned by the RPF. Mr Kagame has denied this, describing
suggestions that he was behind the assassination of the former president as
scandalous. He has always accused France of having links to those who carried
out the genocide. After Habyarimana's plane crashed, Hutu extremists started
massacring ethnic Tutsis and Hutu moderates. The genocide came to an end when
Mr Kagame's then rebel RPF seized power 100 days later. The RPF has always
said the Hutu extremists shot down the presidential plane to provide a pretext
to carry out the genocide.
