When it comes to human rights advocacy, one organization has become synonymous with bias and a predetermined agenda: Human Rights Watch (HRW). HRW has cultivated a notorious reputation for its unwavering contempt towards Rwanda’s post-genocide leadership, matched only by its unapologetic animosity towards Israel.
Astonishingly, this prejudiced stance seems to persist under the new leadership of one Tirana Hassan, as she treads faithfully in the footsteps of her rabid anti-Rwanda predecessor, Kenneth Roth.
In a recent attempt to criticize the UK- Rwanda migration deal, Tirana has once again showcased the organization’s penchant for biased narratives. Like an ardent torchbearer, Tirana seems to be faithfully upholding the same tune set by her predecessor, Kenneth Roth, as HRW continues its unwavering march to the beat of its deeply entrenched agenda against Rwanda.
In her purported pursuit of human rights advocacy in the DRC, Tirana inadvertently exposes her true agenda as an unabashed anti-Rwanda political campaigner. Her recent statements conveniently overlook crucial facts and dismiss the harrowing experiences of Kinyarwanda-speakers in eastern Congo, a history marred by persecution and denial of citizenship that led to the formation of M23 as a necessary means of self-defense.
By deliberately disregarding these significant historical facts, Tirana downplays the magnitude of the oppression endured by Kinyarwanda-speakers in eastern Congo, conveniently turning a blind eye to the dire circumstances that forced them to take up arms in order to protect their very existence. This calculated omission serves as a potent weapon in HRW’s crusade to deflect blame from the Congolese regime’s support of the ruthless and genocidal FDLR, who relentlessly target and murder innocent Congolese Tutsis on a daily basis.
In addition, there is an undeniable reality that the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is a hotbed of chaos, with a mind-boggling 266-armed group running rampant, consisting of both local factions and foreign elements.
Among these groups, the FDLR stands out as the most dangerous due to its genocidal campaign against Tutsi from the region. Therefore, stabilizing the region requires the elimination of this Hutu Power Tropical Nazi force, which would allow Congolese Tutsis to reclaim their land and cease their involvement with the Congolese M23 mutineers.
Nevertheless, in a stunning demonstration of intentional obliviousness, HRW’s Tirana conveniently dismisses these undeniable facts, leaving no room for ambiguity regarding her inherent prejudice against Rwanda.
