The Virunga Mountains Gorillas

Gorilla Village in the Virunga Mountains, Democratic Republic of Congo.

 The gorilla population has been dropping over years due to man -made conflict with nature; Gorillas have been victims of the war that has been ravaging the eastern part of Congo, DRC for twenty years.When gorillas are uprooted from their natural environment, and kept in Zoos, they tend to lose their natural instincts such observation of objects-gorillas are known to create a surprise encounter among a family group as a form of play, interaction, etc. However, when moved away from their habitat, they abandon it.

Why Paul Kagame Hates Banyarwanda

Its not unusual for notorious despots like Paul Kagame, to be obsessed with their appearances- today in Rwanda, images of dictator Paul Kagame are becoming larger, more visible, and more imposing. The deadly intore militia even compete among themselves, to impress their boss with the best images and songs of him. Thus,Rwanda Patriotic Front party has no image  of its own, but of dictator Paul Kagame.

First Serie: Democratic Republic of Congo Art

The art scene in Congo has been dormant for sometime due to the support from authorities. The artistic fraternity in the past,was very diverse and well supported by the government.

Paul Kagame's Top Propagandist Sets up a Gigolo Agency

Last week we were informed by our Peeping Tom of how Jeannette Nyiramongi Kagame left the family house after midnight dressed in a short dress and with a big bag. Our Paparazzo also confirmed the unusual changing of cars in the notorious Biryogo area during the wee ours of the morning.

How Thieves Stole Money From Paul Kagame

When we listened to Paul Kagame’s financial report during the address to the nation-those that understand commonsense economics,can agree with us that those figures were terribly cooked-up.
It sounded more like one of those dictatorial schemes aimed at humiliating and degrading Banyarwanda. i.e. Ndi Umunyarwanda, Ikigega Agaciro-Fund, Gusaba Imbabazi, Ngwino urebe, etc.This one is called Umubare-imibare.

Paul Kagame Was Humiliated in South Africa

The world of Paul Kagame has become very predictable and at the same-time pathetic. Early this week Paul Kagame shunned the company of world leaders that had gathered in a collective statesmanship to pay their tribute and also celebrate the heavy weight of Freedom, Nelson Mandela. However, criminal Paul had some other selfish rendezvous to pursue.

Has Paul Kagame Been Poisoned

According to a report dispatched by our Peeping Tom, Paul Kagame spent last night crawling on the floor of the toilet and making strange wailing sounds like that of a Cat that has been shut-out by its owner.

How Paul Kagame was Ordered Not to Attend Nelson Mandela’s Funeral

Those of you that think know what goes in Rwanda- especially Kagame’s worshipers, you know nothing. In reality, the real Head of state of Rwanda is Jeannette Nyiramongi Kagame  and Paul Kagame is the Executioner and Front-man. Not only is she the richest African first lady, but She oversees, coordinates illicit trade networks around Africa. She has amassed wealth through crooks and proxies so she can evade public scrutiny-to the extent that  all Rwanda juicy out-lets are filled with her cronies.

Paul Kagame’s YoYo Economy, Part 1

The Rwanda government has fraudulently portrayed itself as a very successful and prosperous economic hub in Africa-thus, it markets itself shamelessly as the Singapore of Africa. To be frank to people, Rwanda so called economic prosperity is a big sham. What we have in place is Kagame’s personal enterprise-Crystal Ventures, that controls assets worth more than $900 million inside Rwanda.

Paul Kagame's Part in Rwanda Genocide

The World was recent glued to their Television sets, watching the humiliating defeat of Paul Kagame’s M23 Militia out-fit. The defeat was not only a blow to criminal Paul Kagame, but also his worshipers around the world that don’t see beyond his arse , because their heads are stuck in there, and are busy influencing the international community basing from what they see and pick from the criminal’s dirty arse.

Congo Art; The The other Design

This week I decide to break the rules of design and experimented with new ways of seeing things-Good designers can't create stuff without risking. I could say that this is good for the project especially when conceptualizing elegance with Kikongo

Maybe for those that are just visiting for the first-time this Blog and haven't followed the previous posts-this is a project that is meant to use digital Art(3D, Animation,Illustration,etc) as a tool for conflict resolution. Thus, the final result will be used to interact with  all stake-holders of the region to find solutions that unites everyone without resorting to violence.

The Beautiful Congo Woman

In this serie, its all about the Beautiful Congolese women. I think its always good to appreciate beauty and sexiness. By doing so, it enable someone to treasure and  defend that beauty.Thus, you don't abuse someone you love dearly-When you love someone, you're always confident to show them to everyone. This's why I have no qualms showing of  beautiful Congolese women-However, we all see beauty in different ways, and that's why I'll have to feature more Congolese Girls in the future to show that, there's more of that beauty..

Congo M23 Rebels Are Planning a Massacre

After realising that the people hate and will never support M23 Rebel out-fit, the rebel handlers in Rwanda, are now planning to use plan C-Massacre civilians till they lose the appetite to live.
This plan has always worked for Paul Kagame-Massacre civilians and make it look like it was a third party that did it. Then forcefully take ownership of their property. This has been a pattern that the notorious Rwandan Tyrant, Paul Kagame has employed in all his killing fields.

Congo 3D Art

Its not everyday that you come across modern Art from Congo as the internet is filled with only horror stories about Congo. Nothing positive is ever written about this great country-The media and their friends that have reclaimed-should I say hijacked the image of  Democratic Republic of Congo, have turned a fifth of the country and packaged it as the entire nation-they've found a market to scramble for and made a killing with the biggest hammer of Public relation disaster.

Congo M23 Rebels Are Committing Horrendous Crimes

M23 rebels have summarily executed at least 44 people and raped at least 61 women and girls since March 2013 in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Local residents and rebel deserters reported recent forced recruitment of men and boys by the M23 in both Rwanda and Congo.

Congo M23 Rebels Topple their Leader

As internal infighting takes center stage within the notorious rebel out-fit of M23, the infighting has already claimed 32 rebels and 65 innocent civilians lives. Among the rebel officers that died from their own sword include: 1 major, 3 captains and 8 lieutenants. Meanwhile, 5 captains and 3 majors have been clandestinely moved to Uganda for treatment after sustaining life-threatening injuries.

M23 Rebels Fight Among themselves

Fighting between rival factions of the M23 rebel movement in the northeastern Rutshuru region of the Democratic Republic of Congo has left 10 dead, a hospital source in Rutshuru said on Monday.

The provincial hospital said that 10 bodies were counted after the clashes on Sunday night, while two injured men were taken in for medical treatment.

Congolese Beauty Magazine: 2nd Edition

In general, Congolese love a good time and have big hearts-the notion that Congolese love wars is misconceived, because those wars are mostly imposed on Congo by foreign countries such as Rwanda and Uganda. This being the early edition,I promise to improve on every upcoming edition.

Congo DRC has No Tribe called Banyarwanda

The Congolese History has become victim of revisionism by foreign parasitic forces with the intention of Balkanising the Democratic Republic of Congo, hiding behind the tribe of Banyarwanda. Having a language spoken in DR Congo that sounds like Kinyarwanda, doesn't automatically qualify the speakers to be Banyarwanda. Its mainly the Rwanda criminal regime and its lackeys pushing Pseudohistory under Congolese throats.

What Rwandese Pseudo Historians have failed to explain to the world, is how DR Congo came to have a Language that sounds like Kinyarwanda?! What's even pathetic, they can't account for the difference in dialects of the so called "Kinyarwanda speakers". 

Yes,  several times I've listened and watched all walks of Rwandese society passionately engaging themselves in the politics of DR Congo, especially North Kivu. To my disappointment , no one has ever articulated the Congolese History prior to colonialism. 

What most so called Rwandese analysts (Abasesenguzi) tend to yapp about; is the history from Mobutu to Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo periods. The common thing they all tend to say-referring to the so called Kinywaranda speakers, " Those people in North Kivu that speak a language that wants to resemble ours". Note: Wants to resemble and Not resembles. 

Its mostly the Rwanda cabal and its terrorist outfits that always imposes the term "Kinyarwanda speakers" on Congolese to justify their criminality in Congo.  However,  we should not forget migrations of Rwandese (Asylum seekers and economic migrants) to DR Congo from late 1950s to 1994.  Still, that does not qualify Kinyarwanda to be a native language of Congo.  

The only group of people that would have had credibility to articulate the Kinyarwanda History are the Twa people.  But because of the systematic genocide that has been committed on them, the dead can't speak, and their descendants have been buried alive and left to die a slow humiliating death by everyone.  Due to institutional discrimination and prejudices towards the Twa, no one (Mostly African fascists) has bothered to find out their great contribution to the African Civilisation. I'll post a full article on Twa contribution to the world soon.

No Tribe called Banyarwanda in Congo

I’ve always asked myself, what went wrong in North kivu that has turned communities into monsters?! I remember as a child, when I would leave Uganda (boarding school) for holidays back home in Congo, the moment I arrived in Bunagana, already people in Jomba to Rutshuru knew that Jojo was in town. Unlike today, the population density was low...very low. Sometimes It amazes me where all those new people came from. 

I always found myself a subject of interest from Hutu, Tutsi and Twa. Our home always had Tutsi, Hutu and Twa visitors coming in and going-out. Its when I would go back to school in Uganda or visit Rwanda, that I would encounter the differences in people, as I was always a victim of profile harassment. That harassment would instil revolutionary tendencies in me at an early age. 

Being revolutionary is not only about fighting and overthrowing regimes. But travelling, researching and educating oneself. Thus, I was empowered with empathy at an early age to understand the plight of African people. Linguistics have studied the Abahutu mother tongue and languages of many other African people in eastern, central and southern Africa. They have discovered that these people shared with Abahutu the expression “ntu” when relating to a human being including Swahili “muTU”, Shona (muNHU”), Bemba, Nyanja,Ndebele, Zulu, Xosa, etc. 

Many scientists are now studying in-depth the hypothesis that Bahutu are actually one of the greatest ethnic “Abantu” (Bantus) and that they are the major components of the Bantu people. These findings would be useful in The Democratic Republic of Congo as discussed below. Abahutu originally were part of the great empire that extended from actual south-west Uganda to Eastern DRC, to Rwanda, to Burundi and to north-western Tanzania. This empire was divided into kingdoms that were administered and led by the “umwami” (resulting in the word umwami meaning a king). In some parts of Eastern DRC, the descendants of the “umwami” are still leading the Abahutu community. 

The Abahutu kingdom was kind of independent. One would say in today’s language that there was federalism in the Abahutu Empire. The most close kingdoms to the Congolese abahutu organisational structure were the Hutu kingdoms in North-Rwanda (in the Bushiru, Murera, Bukamba, Buhoma, Bugoyi) and in South-West Uganda (in the Bufumbira). All these kingdoms spoke the same language. There are three hypotheses on the language that was spoken by Abahutu originally. Some schools think it is “kihutu”, others say it is “Kinyarwanda” (the actual Rwandan national language), and others stipulate that it is “kibantu”. 

Linguistics agree that in the African philosophy the language is named after the kind of tribe who speaks it. Thus Kihunde is spoken by Bahunde ( in Masisi eastern Congo-DRC), Kinande by Banande(eastern Congo-DRC), Kikuyu by Kikuyu people(Kenya), Kikongo by Bakongo (western DRC & Congo Brazzaville & Angola), Tshiluba by Baluba (in Kassai and Katanga DRC), kibemba by Babemba (DRC & Zambia), Kinyanja by Banyanja (Zambia), Kishona by Bashona (in Zimbabwe) , Kindebele by Bandebele(in Zimbabwe), Kizulu by BaZulu (in South Africa), Kirega by Barega (in Eastern DRC),Kishi (Mashi) by Bashi (in Eastern DRC), Kiganda by Baganda (Uganda), Kikiga by bakiga (Uganda) etc. Based on the roots of the word Abantu discussed above, most of linguistics and scientists agree that the original language of Bahutu people is “Kihutu” (i.e. Kibantu spoken by Abahutu). Seemingly the Kihutu is the language spoken by the Bahutu people (in Eastern DRC). 

Linguistics however identify numerous horizontal variations within the kihutu language. Thus depending on the region, the kihutu acquires the name of the place where it is spoken and most of the time is “renamed” after that place. Kihutu in Rusthuru is commonly known as kinyabwisha from the Bwisha county-Eastern DRC and Kisanza from the Busanza County/Rutshuru eastern Congo-DRC. In ancient Rwanda the kihutu was called gishiru from bushiru northern Rwanda, kirera from Burera northern Rwanda, kigoyi from Bugoyi -northern Rwanda. Latter in Rwanda the kihutu was called “kinyarwanda” from actual Rwanda, “Kirundi” from actual Burundi. 

Thus Kinyarwanda and Kirundi are a mere horizontal variation of the original kihutu language. However these two languages became national languages in both Rwanda and Burundi and underwent an advanced academic transformation and enrichment compared to the kihutu spoken in Eastern DRC or South-west Uganda. It thus resulted in vertical variation in different Kihutu dialects (horizontal variances).

This sets a vertical variation between the Kirundi and Kinyarwanda on one hand and the other Bahutu languages in Eastern and south-west Uganda. The Tutsi and Twa spoke Kihutu. It seems these two ethnic groups lost their original mother tongue due to the principle of majority and integration observed in communities. Kinyarwanda being a Congolese language is a wrong school of thought and the Congolese government has to work hard to educate all the Mobutu generation and the subsequent generations about the right school of thought. 

Kinyarwanda is just a horizontal variation of the Abantu original language that was rendered a national language in Rwanda by the Rwandan Hutu regime soon after independence of Rwanda in 1962. In recent research scientists stipulate that it would be beneficial to the Congolese government to draw a policy to emphasise the fact that “Abahutu are Congolese not transplants aliens, have the rights in DRC as any other citizen of DRC and speak “Kihutu”. The Kihutu should be known amongst the 332 Congolese dialects as a language spoken by Abahutu people. Thus the false umbilical cord mistakenly linking Abahutu to Rwandese would be eradicated from the minds of Congolese people taken in hostage by the Mobutu controversial rules on citizenship. 

Reviving the Kihutu in the Congo DRC would justify the essence of multiple studies done by linguistics on African languages. Today you find the Kihutu speakers of Mulenge (Banyamulenge) being called Kinyarwanda speakers. Thus, all Kihutu speakers labelled Banyarwanda. Its Rwanda tribal supremacists and their colonial gang masters that have distorted the term Hutu and relegated it to ethnicity in order to subjugate and exploit their own people. 

That's why they can't comprehend that Kihutu is their real mother language and culture, and many after reading these facts, they'll throw endless tantrums. Thus, parasitic social classes called Hutu and Tutsi were manufactured by colonial gangsters to enslave the mindset of indigenous people-the great history of Abahutu would be relegated to oblivion.

Bwisha did exist prior to European colonisation, it was politically economical and socially developed than Rwanda, It had its customs, and was a sovereign nation.  

The Belgian colonialists have distorted the truth and termed Banyabwisha as a tribe based in Kivu, and purely an autonomous Hutu principality. In the mindset of the Banyabwisha, the Mwami was much considered to be incomparable,  a centre around which all Bwisha life evolved , coordinated all activities such as; political, economic, cultural, religious, and social. The removal of the king, something that had never happened in the history of Bwisha was considered a curse and would haunt the land in years to come.  

Its always better to stand alone with the truth, than in the crowd with liars and traitors.

Creativity for Peace and development in Congo-DRC

Very many apologies to all fans of this blog for not updating it regularly-not posted anything for a very long-time, I promise this year, to post great content.

The Kinshasa city and Congolese comic project is still being developed. However, this project is to extend to Uganda,Rwanda,Angola,Burundi, and Tanzania. The reason for this, is very simple.
