Editor,

RE: "As it happened: The moment UK court dismissed Gen Karake case” (The New Times, August 12).

The language in the "indictment” from Fernando Andreu Merelles is reminiscent of that employed by the planners, organisers and executors of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi because it came straight from them and their NGO support organizations and individuals in Spain with the judge acting as a mere stenographer.

Once again we see the western world in full hypocrisy mode, uttering meaningless words with a forked tongue: Never Again, Responsibility to Protect, Human Rights, International Criminal Court…even as they shelter actual génocidaires and act as their cat’s paws in pseudo judicial harassment campaigns of the only people alive now on planet Earth who have actually fought génocidaires and defeated them.

And this, as the same west looked on indifferently—or as important members of that same west were helping the killers to implement their genocidal project.

These people have absolutely no sense of shame. It is important for us to internalise this fact and always keep it in mind in all our dealings with them. Understand that they say one thing, and act in total variance to it simultaneously.

I am no lawyer, but could see no way a real lawyer would see the so-called Spanish (or the Bruguiere’s companion) "indictment” without breaking out in uncontrollable, hysterical laughter of disbelief.

The British judiciary has so many world-class legal minds. So, tell me, why would they entertain this piece of legal gibberish masquerading as an indictment, except for their own lawfare purposes against the government and the people of Rwanda?

As for the Congolese, they have a fringe all over the Diaspora that always runs to type. Their barks are just annoying. You just have to let them yap themselves to exhaustion.
