Political Operatives Pose as Journalists, Human Rights Groups by Bassam Tawil

  • The same activists and organizations were silent when the Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces arrested al-Qiq and harassed his family. Amnesty International neglected to mention that al-Qiq has also been targeted by PA security forces and that, in addition to his work as a newsman, he is also affiliated with Hamas. This detail, according to Amnesty, is evidently not significant.

  • When arrested, such political operatives posing as journalists — and so-called human rights groups, and the mainstream media in the West — get to scream about Israel assaulting freedom of the media. This dirty little game has been played by Palestinian and Western journalists and highly politicized, biased human rights groups for years.
  • The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS), which is headed by Nasser Abu Baker, did not come out in support of journalist, Sami al-Sai when he was arrested (and tortured) for 20 days in the PA’s notorious Jericho Central Prison. Nor did Amnesty or most human rights organizations come out in defense of al-Sai.
  • Instead of calling on the PA leadership to release their detained colleague, Abu Baker and the PJS heads issued a statement in which they justified his arrest and defended the PA against charges of torturing him.
  • Nasser Abu Baker himself is affiliated with the PA’s ruling Fatah faction. Recently, the AFP correspondent even ran (and lost) in the election for Fatah’s Revolutionary Council.
  • While AFP has been reporting about the detention by Israel of al-Qiq, it has conspicuously failed to report about the plight of al-Sai and his serious charges of torture in PA prison. So a journalist arrested by the PA is not worth a story in an international media outlet, while anyone arrested by Israel gets wide coverage.
  • Now it is official: double standards, racism, and political activism are an integral part of the modern media.

Two Palestinian journalists are arrested — one by Israel and the other by the Palestinian Authority (PA). The name of the one arrested by Israel is Muhammad al-Qiq. The name of the one arrested by the PA security forces is Sami al-Sai.

Although he is registered as a journalist, al-Qiq was arrested for security-related offenses completely unrelated to his profession. Israel did not arrest him because of his reporting or his writing, but because of his activities on behalf of Hamas. As a student at Bir Zeit University in 2006, al-Qiq was already known to be affiliated with Hamas. He was a member of the Islamic Bloc — a student list belonging to Hamas.

Al-Qiq’s affiliation with Hamas even got him into trouble with the Palestinian Authority; its forces arrested and interrogated him several times in the past few years. The last time his family received a visit from PA security officers was in 2014. Then, officers in plainclothes seized al-Qiq’s laptop and personal documents.

Now, al-Qiq is in Israeli detention, where he has gone on hunger strike in protest against his arrest.

Guess who is campaigning on his behalf and demanding that Israel immediately and unconditionally release him from detention? The same PA that repeatedly arrested and harassed al-Qiq over the past few years.

In addition, human rights organizations and activists have endorsed the case and are now using it to attack Israel. These are the same activists and organizations that were silent when the PA security forces arrested al-Qiq and harassed his family.

One of these organizations is Amnesty International, which issued a statement last week calling on Israel to release the detained “journalist.” Amnesty neglected to mention that al-Qiq has also been targeted by the PA security forces and that, in addition to his work as a newsman, he is also affiliated with Hamas. This detail, according to Amnesty, is evidently not significant.

The truth is that most, if not all, Palestinian journalists arrested by Israel are targeted not because of their work in the field of journalism, but because of their activities on behalf of various Palestinian groups, including Hamas. It is an open secret that many Palestinian “journalists” are in fact political activists who are openly affiliated with one terrorist group or another.

When arrested, such political operatives posing as journalists — and so-called human rights groups, and the mainstream media in the West — get to scream about Israel assaulting freedom of the media. This dirty little game has been played by Palestinian and Western journalists and highly politicized, biased human rights groups for years. Yet, why discuss it when you can leverage it against Israel?

Here is another missing fact related to the detention of the Hamas activist-turned journalist: The Fatah-controlled Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS), which is based in Ramallah, has also joined the campaign to demand the release of al-Qiq from Israeli detention.

Why is this detail important? Because the PJS, which is headed by Nasser Abu Baker (also spelled Abu Bakr), who also serves as a correspondent for Agence France-Presse (AFP), did not come out in support of the other journalist, Sami al-Sai, when he was arrested (and tortured) for 20 days in the PA’s notorious Jericho Central Prison. Nor did Amnesty or most human rights organizations come out in defense of al-Sai when he was being held by the PA security forces.

Sami al-Sai, who works as a correspondent for a private television station in the Palestinian city of Tulkarem in the northern West Bank, was arrested for “fomenting sectarian strife” through Facebook. This is a popular Palestinian Authority charge, one that is used to justify the arrest of anyone who criticizes PA leaders or who takes issue with the policies of Mahmoud Abbas.

The PJS at first refused to take up the case of al-Sai. The PJS rarely defends journalists who are critical of the PA. That is because the head of the PJS, Abu Baker himself, is affiliated with the PA’s ruling Fatah faction. Recently, the AFP correspondent even ran (and lost) in the election for Fatah’s Revolutionary Council.

Facing criticism, Abu Baker and some of the heads of the PJS agreed to visit al-Sai in his prison cell in Jericho. But instead of calling on the Palestinian Authority leadership to release their detained colleague, Abu Baker and the PJS heads issued a statement in which they justified his arrest and defended the PA against charges of torturing him.

Nasser Abu Baker is a correspondent for Agence France-Presse and heads the Ramallah-based Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS). He is also a political operative who recently ran in (and lost) an election for Fatah’s Revolutionary Council. When fellow journalist Sami al-Sai was thrown in jail for criticizing the leadership of the Palestinian Authority (PA) on Facebook, Abu Baker and the PJS justified his arrest and defended the PA against charges of torturing him.

While AFP has been reporting about the detention by Israel of al-Qiq and other Palestinian “journalists,” it has conspicuously failed to report about the plight of al-Sai and his serious charges of torture in PA prison.

So a journalist arrested by the Palestinian Authority is not worth a story in an international media outlet, while anyone arrested by Israel gets wide coverage.

Needless to say, Abu Baker, who covers Palestinian affairs for AFP, did not bother to write a story about his visit to the Jericho prison and the meeting with al-Sai.

As chairman of a Fatah-controlled body, Abu Baker is not going to report to AFP anything that would reflect negatively on the PA leadership.

Even more bizarre is that an AFP correspondent would be allowed to run for political office and continue with his work as if nothing happened. Would Le Monde allow its diplomatic correspondent to cover the French elections if he was also running for office? Apparently, the conflict of interest does not bother Abu Baker’s superiors at AFP.

The case of the two journalists — Muhammad al-Qiq and Sami al-Sai — provides further evidence of the hypocrisy, double standards, bias and racism that the Palestinian and Western media continue to demonstrate concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Any story that could negatively affect the Palestinian Authority or Hamas is not “fit for print.” Human rights groups and the media clearly do not care if a Palestinian is detained and tortured by Palestinians.

A story becomes news when it is possible to lay blame on Israel. Western (and some Israeli) journalists covering Palestinian issues justify their double standard by arguing that if they criticized the PA or any of its senior figures, they would be barred from Ramallah or shouted at and denied access to sources. Here is the truth: prejudice works and intimidation works. Journalists and human rights groups would rather distort and practice self-censorship than report accurately about Israel or anger the Palestinian Authority leadership.

In Israel, however, journalists write negative things about the Israeli government and army and police from sunrise to sundown without fearing anything. Now it is official: double standards, racism, and political activism are an integral part of the modern media.

Police arrest Guinean after emitting Sh11m cocaine.

Man was locked up after emitting cocaine worth Sh11 million.

Police in Nairobi are holding a Guinean man who was arrested with 2.8 kilograms of cocaine at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on Thursday.

Mr Abdoulaye Diallo, 45, was arrested as he was waiting to board a plane to Benin.

“Police discovered that he had hidden the drugs with a street value of Sh11.1 million in his private parts and so he was arrested,” the head of Anti-Narcotic Police Unit, Hamisi Masa, told Nation.co.ke on Friday.

The officers, he said, suspected the accused had the drugs in his body on Thursday evening and put him under observation.

After a few hours, he emitted the cocaine, which was wrapped in polythene bags.

“We will take him to court on Monday to answer to charges of being in possession of drugs,” Mr Masa said.

He said the man was travelling from Doha, Qatar, but it is not yet clear whether the drugs originated in that Arab country.

Several people have been arrested at Nairobi’s biggest airport in the recent past for trafficking in drugs.

POLICE AWARE

Mr Masa said police are aware of the new tactics being used by drug traffickers, adding that the Anti-Narcotics Unit was alert.

Recently, traffickers have opted to use roads after police intensified surveillance at sea ports and airports.

Last year alone, drugs estimated to be worth more than Sh50 million were seized at Jomo Kenyatta airport.

Two weeks ago, a Congolese national was arrested at the airport for carrying 10 rolls of bhang valued at Sh30,000.

The 40-year-old woman, who was heading to Dubai, was arrested at a police checkpoint after she showed signs of difficulty in walking.

She had hidden the narcotic in her private parts.

Two weeks earlier, a Nigerian national was arrested at the same airport with narcotics suspected to be cocaine.

The man was travelling to Nigeria from Sao Paolo, Brazil, when he was arrested.

PEREZIDA PAUL KAGAME AVUYE MU NAMA YABERAGA MURI ANGOLA,NONE ANYUZE MURI KENYA GUHA AMABWIRIZA MASHYA INTASI ZIKORERA MU MURWA WA NAIROBI:

 

CRI D’ALERTE

  kuwa 18.Mutarama.2014 amakuru agera kunyangenewss,aturuka muri ambasade y’ u Rwanda ikorera mu gihugu cya Kemya,bamwe mubakozi ba ambasade ikorera muri icyo gihugu badashimishijwe nimikorere ya leta y;igitugu ya FPR na perezida Paul Kagame,bakorera iyo ambasade. Bashyize ahagaragara abanyarwanda b’impunzi bakomeje kujujubya abanyarwanda b’impunzi bagenzi babo baba muri icyo gihugu cya Kenya,nababa mu murwa mukuru wa Nairobi,tuzakomeza kubagezaho ayandi mazina yabamaneko bakorera muri uwo murwa naho batuye nubwo bagenda bimuka.

 

Ce cri est destine à tout Rwandais partout où il se trouve mais spécialement au Kenya, en Uganda, au Malawi, en Zambie et au Mozambique. Ce cri alerte particulièrement les réfugiés rwandais partout où ils se trouvent.Chers compatriotes réfugiés,Le régime de Kigali qui, d’une certyaine manière, est conscient de son échec dans toutes les tentatives de rapatrier de force les réfugiés rwandais qui, comme vous le savez,ont fui l’injustice, la discrimination, la persécution, l’exclusion, …Ce régime qui constate que sa fin est proche vient de constituer un réseau Commando qui doit identifier et éliminer physiquement par tous les moyens(assassinat,empoisonnement) toute personne qu’il considère comme ennemi.

Voici les faits :

En date du 20 Juillet 2009, un groupe de plus de 18 jeunes a quitté Nairobi pour Kigali. Les organisateurs de ce voyage(l’ambassade du Rwanda à Nairobi et la diaspora présidée par Mr. Charles NYANDWI, ancien ministre de l’enseignement supérieur et de la recherche scientifique sous le régime du feu président Juvénal HABYARIMANA) ont trompé cette jeunesse que ce voyage était destiné à aller visiter le Rwanda. Mais concrétement, à leur arrivée, le 21 Juillet, ils ont été directement acheminés dans le centre d’instruction militaire de Gako (au Bugesera) où ils ont suivi, pendant deux semaines, un entraînement militaire serré et une formation politico-idéologique d’ude exagération sansmesure.

Cet entraînement militaire a insisté beaucoup plus sur l’apprentissage et l’utilisation des armes légères, facilement portables et maniables(pistolet, kalachinkov,grenades, mines anti – personnel).

Lors de ce séjour, ils ont été reçus par :

– Paul Kagame, (président de la République) et son épouse à l’Hôtel Serena deKigali.

– Bernard Makuza, premier ministre.

A Gako, ils ont été visités par :

– le Général James Kabarebe, Chef d’Etat –Major

– le Général Kayisari

– Le Général Major Paul Rwarakabije, ex-commandant FDLR et actuel vice- président de la commission de démobilisation.Boniface Rucagu, président d’Intore.Lors de la formation politico-idéologique, il leur a été défini celui qu’ils doivent considérer comme l’ennemi du Rwanda.

Il s’agit de :

Toute personne qui fui actuellement le Rwanda- toute personne âgée de 30 ans et plus qui est en dehors du territoire rwandais.A la fin de la formation, ces jeunes sont retournés à Nairobi où ils sont arrives vers le 8/08/2009 avec des passe-ports rwandais. Selon leur dire, ces passe-ports

vont leur permettre de circuler librement prtout afin de remplir la sale mission que lerégime de Kigali leur a confié(identification et élimination des réfugiés).

Voici quelques noms de ces jeunes qui résident au Kenya :

  1. Ndangiza Célestin alias Kombozi, résidant à Muthama, Ngina road
  2. Karambizi Joseph (nom dans le passe-port = Karamage Jean d’Amour) alias

Kamau ou Shwiriri, résidant à Muthama.

  1. Kayiranga et Musonera (se sont des frères) résidant à Kawangware.
  2. Mlle Ange … résidant à Kawangware.
  3. Mutaganda Bosco (marié et père d’une fillette) résidant à Waithaka tout près de

Dagoretti High School.

  1. Bihoyiki Cedrick, Muthama
  2. Hirwa Fabrice, Muthama, Wairimu road
  3. Niyonkuru Jean Marie Vianney alias Lorero, Kawangware.
  4. Kwizera( Banyerera) Jacques, Kawangware et Githurai
  5. Azarie alias Hassan, Kawangware tout près de El Shadai Estate.
  6. Assumani, Eldoret
  7. Munyaneza Cyprien, Waithaka.

La liste n’est pas exhaustive. Nous allons prochainement la compléter et vous envoyer

leurs photos en tenue militaire.

Pour les Rwandais vivant à Nairobi, voici les lieux qu’il faut désormais frequenter avec prudence :

  1. Dan’s Bar, Kawangware
  2. Njoro’s Bar, Kawangware
  3. Motherland Bar, Adams Arcade
  4. Simmers (Centre ville)
  5. Tous les arrêt bus

Dans les bars, le piège est sur les brochettes. « Ushaka umuhutu amutegera ku nda » dit- on. Ces jeunes ont tenu une réunion ce Dimanche 30/8/2009 au Centre Saint-Vincent de Dagoretti Corner. Le but de la réunion était de recevoir les fonds afin de commencer la sale besogne.Pour tout Rwandais qui se trouve en Europe, en Amérique ou ailleurs, ce réseau est aussi opérationnel chez vous. Soyez vigilants.Enfin, rappelez-vous toujours de cet enseignement d’Albert Einstein : ‘Le monde ne sera pas détruit par ceux qui font le mal, mais par ceux qui regadent et refusent d’agir.’N’acceptez pas de mourir avant que le régime Kagame ne s’ecroule. Ensemble, la victoire est proche.A bon entendeur, demi-mot suffit !

Abwirwa benshi akumva bene yo.

Imana ibarinde.

Umuryango Rwandise protocol a Rwandan Kingdom RPRK,iratangaza ko,perezida Kaga Paul,ar’Umuhutu,aha ushobora kwibaza imwe mu mpamvu zituma uyu muryango ushinzwe gukangurira ubwami abanyarwanda bakomoka mu miryango y’Abega bab’akagara gusimbura ubwami bw’uRwanda nyirizina.


Uyu muryango wabega uhora ukoresha uburiganya n’ikinyoma murwego rwokwigarurira imitima yabanyarwanda imaze gushenjagurwa nabarwanira ubutegetsi,baherutse gukwiza ibihuha mu gihugu cya Uganda bavuga yuko,ngo kaga yaba ar’umuhutu,ibi wibaza icyo byaba bimariye abanyarwanda mubibazo baifite bikakuyobera.

Amakuru avuga ko,abarwanyaga ubwami bw’uRwanda ,babonye imbaraga batijwe nababirigi,byatumye  Rutagambwa wakoraga nka karani w’Umwami atongera kugaragara iwe dore ko nawe yari mubarwanyaga ubwami kandi babukorera,indwara yokunira ubutegetsi kwa kaga Paul ikomoka mumaraso s’iya none.

Bivugwa ko,umuhutu witwa MINANI wakoreraga Rutagambwa nk’umugaragu ngo yaje gusimbura Rutagambwa kuburiri kubera kuboneka murugo,akaba ariyo mpamvu Kaga bamugiriye inama yokwisubiraho ubwo urugo rwe rwari rumaze kwigarurirwa na Majoro Willy umwana ukomoka mu gihugu cy’Uburundi wareranywe na Jannette Kaga,ngo Kaga ashobora kuba atazi karese yo mu gitanda kubera guhora atekereza kwirenza abamubuza gushing ubwami bwa Kega ka Kaga,ka kagara.

Muriyo mpindura matwara yahiritse ubwami bw’Urwanda,Kaga nawe yahise avuka abyawe na Minani waje guhungisha Nyina wa Kaga Paul,abageza mubugande ubwo Rutagambwa yari ahugiye mugushaka guhabwa umwanya na Kayibanda bafatanije gusenya ubwami nyuma akaza kumuhinduka.

Amakuru aturuka murizo ntasi zishaka kuyobya abanyarwanda ko kaga ar’Umuhutu,kandi nabo arabantu,niba yaba umuhutu kubera kwica byaba nabyo bidashoboka kuko yishe benshi kuruta abahutu nyamara we yari umuntu umwe mu gihe abahutu bari muri rusange,aha nshatse kuvuga ko ariwe watangaga amategeko kuko ntamuntu numwe wigeze akizwa nabo yayoboraga ariko mu bahutu harababashije gukiza bamwe mubatutsi.

Bivugwa ko Minani wabyaye Kaga ngo yaje gukora jenocide afungirwa inyanza muri gereza yahoo,nyina wa Kaga bamubyaranye yakoze ibishoboka byose muri 2005 aramufunguza nyuma yo kuganira n’umuhungu we Kaga akamubwiza ukuri kubyabaye byose n’buryo uwitwa se yabatereranye akigira muri politike iyo ataza kuba MINANI mwana wanjye ntabwo ubu uba warabaye perezida!.

Bivugwa ko ngo Kaga yahise abwira nyina ko kuva yabaho aribwo noneho ababaye kuruta umubabro wose yagize mubuzima bwe!Nyuma yokumenya ko,afite isano nabahutu yahise atangira gufungura abahutu bakoze jenocide ndetse atangira kurwanya abacika cumu niyompamvu ba KIZITO mihigo ar’Imana yo mu ijuru yonyine ishobora gukora ibitaangaza tukazongera kubabona aribazima.

Minani yahise akurwa muri gereza abacika cumu barigaragambya abajepe babanyagizamo amasasu maze Mianani atwarwa muri Uganda aturanye na se wa IGP Kare kayihura ngo Kaga ajya jya kumusura,ngo nyina yamusobanuriye ikibazo cya independence yicyo gie yatumye abyarwa kumuhutu ngo niyompamvu atajya yemera kwizihiza independence ngo kuko yatumye abyarwa kubahutu,ariko nyamara ingeso s’ubwoko ahubwo ni umudaimoni uba mu muntu,kuba rero kaga Yaba ar’umuhutu cyangwa umututsi ntibikuraho ibyaha yakoreye abanyarwanda nabanyecongo byitwaje yuko ngo yaba ar’umuhutu.

Kuko kugez’ubu hariho abanyarwanda bo mu bwoko bw’Abahutu b’imfura batigeze banijandika muri jenocide,usibye gusa fpr ishaka kubasiga amaraso aho ibaasaba gusaba imbabazi za rusange ko bose arabicanyi kugirango abone iturufu rya politike.
