A Second Wave Of Genocide Looms In Congo, With Susan Rice On Point by igbo2011(m): 11:05am On Dec 11, 2012

Susan Rice is a woman of ghastly accomplishments: suppressor of the facts on genocide in Congo, and chief U.S. warmonger in Africa. Yet African American politicians rush to her defense, as a role model for young Blacks, especially women.

A Second Wave of Genocide Looms in Congo, with Susan Rice on Point
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
“Susan Rice has abetted the Congo genocide for much of her political career.”
The invasion of the Democratic Republic of Congo by U.S. allies Rwanda and Uganda, in 1996, set in motion a genocide that left six million Congolese dead. Another wave of mass killings now looms with this month’s capture of Goma, an eastern Congolese city of one million, by “rebels” under Rwandan and Ugandan control. “People need to be clear who we are fighting in the Congo,” said Kambale Musavuli, of Friends of Congo. “We are fighting western powers, the United States and the United Kingdom, who are arming, training and equipping the Rwandan and Ugandan militaries.” The main player in suppressing information on Congo’s neighbors’ role in the ongoing genocide, is U.S. ambassador to the UN Susan Rice.
Rice has fought a two-front battle to protect Washington’s murderous clients, delaying publication of a UN Group of Experts report on Washington’s clients’ depredations in Congo, and at the same time subverting efforts within the State Department to rein in Uganda and Rwanda. Last week, Rice blocked the UN Security Council from explicitly demanding that Rwanda immediately cease providing support to M23 rebels who vowed to march all the way to Kinshasa, the Congolese capital.
Susan Rice has abetted the Congo genocide for much of her political career. Appointed to President Bill Clinton’s National Security Council in 1993, at age 28, she rose to assistant secretary of state for African affairs in 1997 as Rwanda and Uganda were swarming across the eastern Congo, seizing control of mineral resources amid a sea of blood. She is known to be personally close to Rwanda’s minority Tutsi leadership, including President Paul Kagame, a ruthless soldier trained at the U.S. Army’s Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and mentored by Ugandan strongman (and Reagan administration favorite) Yoweri Museveni, who is believed to have pioneered the use of child soldiers in modern African conflicts.
“Rice said not a word about ethnic cleansing and racial pogroms against black Libyans and sub-Saharan African migrant workers.”
On the outside during the Bush years, Rice became a fierce advocate of “humanitarian” military intervention in Africa, urging air and sea attacks on Sudan and championing the U.S.-backed Ethiopian invasion of Somalia, in 2006. A senior foreign policy advisor on Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign team, Rice made it no secret she hoped to be named secretary of state. As UN ambassador, she is the administration’s top gun on Africa, the focus of her outsized aggressions. Rice is widely credited with convincing Obama to launch NATO’s bombing campaign for regime change in Libya. She parroted false media reports that Muammar Gaddafi’s troops were raping Libyan women with the aid of massive gulps of Viagra, refusing to back down even when U.S. military and intelligence officials told NBC news “there is no evidence that Libyan military forces have been given Viagra and engaging in systematic rape against women in rebel areas.” Yet, Rice said not a word about ethnic cleansing and racial pogroms against black Libyans and sub-Saharan African migrant workers, including the well-documented erasure of the black city of Tawergha.
Susan Rice’s “humanitarian” instincts, like her boss’s, are highly selective – so much so, that a genocide equal to or greater than the Nazi’s liquidation of European Jewry is invisible to her. More accurately, Rice labors mightily to render the genocide in Congo invisible to the world, suppressing release or discussion of reports on Rwanda and Uganda’s crimes.
“Rice labors mightily to render the genocide in Congo invisible to the world.”
The first document, a “Mapping Report,” described human rights violations in the Democratic Republic of Congo from 1993 through 2003. Finally published by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in October of 2010, after long delays, the document specifically charges Rwandan troops with engaging in mass killings “that might be classified as crimes of genocide.” The more recent report by a UN Group of Experts concludes that M23, the Congolese “rebel” group that captured Goma, is actually “a Rwandan creation,” embedded with Rwandan soldiers that take their orders from Paul Kagame’s military. Uganda also supports M23.
Susan Rice, as an energetic protector and facilitator of genocide, should be imprisoned for life (given that the death penalty is no longer internationally sanctioned). But of course, the same applies to her superiors, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. One would think that the Congressional Black Caucus would be concerned with the threat of a second wave of mass killings in Congo. Not so. A Google search fails to reveal a word of complaint from the Black lawmakers about genocide in Congo or suppression of documentation of genocide – or much of anything at all about Africa since the death of New Jersey Rep. Donald Payne, ranking member of the House Subcommittee on African Affairs, in March of this year.
“One would think that the Congressional Black Caucus would be concerned with the threat of a second wave of mass killings in Congo. Not so.”
Instead, incoming Congressional Black Caucus chair Marcia Fudge, of Cleveland, held a press conference with female Caucus members to defend Rice, “a person who has served this country with distinction,” from Republican criticism of her handling of the killing of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya. “We will not allow a brilliant public servant’s record to be mugged to cut off her consideration to be secretary of state,” said Fudge.
In the Congressional Black Caucus’ estimation, Rice’s “record” as chief warmonger in Africa and principal suppressor of the facts on genocide in Congo makes her a role model for African Americans, especially young Black women.
Her relationship to the women of Congo is more problematic. Said Kambale Musavuli, of Friends of Congo, which works tireless on behalf of victims of mass rape in eastern Congo: “Why should you want to help a Congolese woman who is raped, when your tax money is supporting the ones that are doing the raping? That’s a contradiction”
In the Age of Obama, the Black American relationship to Africa is suffocating from such contradictions.

Obama is behind this too. These people don't serve Africa's interests. Just because they are black doesn't mean they serve us.

When pentagon makes a black man president. They are about to commit genocide. They would fail. I know this for sure. I have first hand information. US, UK and their their european and asian friends would be shocked. I knew this from the start. They are desperate, any move now would hang them finally. Libya is not our friend by the way. Why do we have to care about them? They helped Europeans against us, it is their turn to have a taste. We won't get involved with any arabs. They are one and the same people.

I do agree with you on one issue, Black Africans should never involve themselves in Arab Affairs unless there is Lots of profit for us in doing so.

On Susan Rice issue many people will be suprised how even africans will praise and cherish her as their role model. Even in the face of factual evidence Africans will still cherish her why ? Cus the western media puts it so. Africa is a lost case, very little hope is left for this continent and when you look at the upcoming generation with their whizkid lifestyle and aspirations you will just conclude there is no hope left at all.

Who is genociding who in the Congo?

Is it not the black man killing the black man?

So why are you blaming Susan Rice? Shouldn't you be pointing fingers at the Congolese?

I blame America for funding and training Rwandan and Ugandan troops to invade eastern Congo killing millions in the process.

@thoth

And Susan Rice is white ?
I am always dumbfounded when i listen to Africans of your kind, they always exhibit extreme naivity coupled with arrogance especially in events they knew nothing of and lacks the intellectual determination to research on. All you simple mind can grasp is that blacks killing blacks and we should blame the Congo, Did you read the article at all or just the headlines ? Who is funding those insurgents ? Since by composition its majority are Rwandans and Ugandans can you call it congolese by any means ?
A situation that most of your kind fail to understand is that the Rwandan and Ugandan masses are against their goverment involvement and anti-african aggression against their neighbours. The western media did not tell you that the Ugandan government jailed many educated elites after they tried to organize a demonstration against the goverment concerning this issue. You never heard that in April a few Rwandan army officers resigned in protest for their goverment involvement in what they call "regional destabilizing policies" against the congolese goverment.
It is folks like you that still believe that Idi Amin was a cannibal and a tyrant.

The objective of your thread was to bring to this issue to light. You do yourself and your message a disservice when you get abusive. Btw I agree with Glen Ford here - we really need to look beyond skin color.

This is the second time my post disappeared in this thread and i really don't know why.
I can only say that sometimes you have to say things in that way to force the reader to rethink on matters which he has settled views.

The only way we can liberate ourselves is to concentrate on the skin color.
They use our own greedy people against us- illeteracy and greed in Metu is a consequence of environment. All non-metu neigbours to metu are known to be very aggressive to metu. We are not exposed people. In fact most metu children don't even know about racism. The world criminal empire is built on racism. Racism is a weakness and not a strength. When you are racist, you destroy everything remotely attached to devils, and hate anyone (even if its your brother) remotely attached to them. That should be african racism. It has to be extreme and thorough. Destroy anything remotely connected to devils, and watch their influence in your lives reduce. Then you can see the light of CHUKWU shine in you. KELE CHUKWU cool

EXACTLY! I always say that to Africans but all i get is that "Holier than Thou" attitude, the problem is that the mass media,books and movies has been used to confuse africans to belive that white people are these innocent, always looking for the good kind of people that is out to save the world and can never hurt a fly while they in reality are commiting atrocities on us, it is a sort of saying one thing to the stupid africans and doing something else to them. That is why africans belive the "War on terror " paradigm because americans can never be the terrorist and can never terrorise other nations, they believe the "Enlightenment and Civilisation " scheme of the colonization till today cus they belive (as was made to belive by the same whites) that africans are not civilized, they belive the "Responsiblity to Protect" doctrine which was used against Libya's Gaddafi and Gbagbo of Ivory Coast as we would never believe the foreign whites to be the aggressors rather it must be the evil,uncivilized and babaric black man that is the aggressor, they believe the destructive economic policies of the World Bank/IMF cus even if the policies does not go down well with our common sense it must be cus we are stupid and the white man is always right as in other things, infact as many of my friends said africans deserve their sufferings and misery.
