  • Vatican: Rwandan Clergyman officially coronated Cardinal by Pope Francis, vows to respect Catholic Church rules #rwanda #RwOT

    The Archbishop of Kigali, Cardinal Kambanda Antoine, was coronated by Pope Francis as the new Cardinal in the Catholic Church at a ceremony held at St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican City.

    The ceremony, presided over by Pope Francis, took place at 5pm on Saturday. It was attended by regular Cardinals and 11 new cardinals out of 13 appointed by Pope Francis on October 25, 2020.

    Those who failed to attend the ceremony due to COVID 19 are Bishop Cornelius Sim of Brunei and Jose Fuerte Advincula of the Philippines.

    At the coronation of the Cardinals, each of them, testified in faith to the Catholic Church, concluding by swearing before Pope Francis, that he would fulfil his duties, that he would respect the rules of the Catholic Church and that he would never break the secrets of those who would come to him in Penance and elsewhere.

    After the oath, everyone would go in front of the Pope, kneel and wear a red helmet and a ring.

    Kambanda was the third of the 11 to be given his clothes and then, like the others, the Pope told them that they should always be dressed well.

    Pope Francis explained to the new Cardinals the responsibilities that await them, how the Christian journey requires staying in the line of call, that the red robes they wear represent the blood of Jesus and that they must always act like Him, by redeeming the Earth where necessary.

    There are now 229 Cardinals, 128 of whom can elect a new Pope.

  • Rwanda Extractive Industry Workers Union commends employers for compliance with labor laws #rwanda #RwOT

    The Rwanda Extractive Industry Workers Union (REWU) commends employers for their understanding on the respect for workers' rights and for providing them with legal provisions without going to court.

    The Secretary General of REWU, Mr. Mutsindashyaka Andre, says that some employers do not respect the rights of workers, but through regular campaigns, some of them understand why the rights of workers/Employees and the labor provisions should be respected as enshrined in Rwanda's Labor Law.

    'Since we started campaigning and training workers and employers on the Labor regulations, many have become more aware of it so that even when a conflict arises between the employer and the employee, it is easier to solve that because they have knowledge on the Labor law,' he said.

    On November 24, 2020, at the headquarters of REWU, a mutual agreement was signed by the employer with two employees who had been illegally suspended.

    REWU says that once the matter is brought to the notice of the employer 'We showed him the mistakes he has made, the rules that have not been complied with and advises him to settle the matter amicably and give them the money agreed upon by the parties in order to avoid going to court which could have caused other losses especially to the side of employer.'

    The party argues that reaching out to the courts is not a priority but that employees and employers should also promote dialogues and consensus in order to resolve the issues they face.

    REWU urges employers and employees to be aware of the provisions of the Labor Law as it will reduce disputes and situations arising from non-compliance.

  • Uganda Is Using Huawei's Facial Recognition Tech To Crack Down On Dissent After Anti-government Protests #rwanda #RwOT

    Long before the Nov. 18-19 protests in Uganda that left more than 50 people dead, opposition politicians, and local activists had warned about the potential abuse and human rights implications of an invasive surveillance system bought by the government last year from China's telecoms giant Huawei.

    The fear was, that in the hands of corrupt public officials or under a repressive regime the integrated system which uses facial recognition and other artificial intelligence systems but is also able to check vehicle license plates and monitor social media, would be used to suppress individual freedoms of anyone in opposition to the government.

    The latest protests, which were triggered by the arrest of two presidential candidates hoping to put a halt to president Yoweri Museveni's 34-year rule, seem to have confirmed those fears.

    Ugandan police officials have confirmed they are using the cameras supplied by Huawei which helped the force track down some of the more than 836 suspects they have arrested.

    In the absence of any judicial oversight, there are also concerns of backdoor access to the system for illegal facial recognition surveillance on potential targets and stifling of anti-regime comments and any peaceful civil action. Local rights group, Unwanted Witness, has previously called for the observance of international human rights law in the implementation of the project to safeguard human rights, freedoms, and democracy in the country.

    The national CCTV system installed by Huawei has 83 monitoring centers, 522 operators, and 50 commanders according to president Museveni who in a series of tweets has praised the effectiveness of the technology.  Authorities also plan to integrate the Huawei system with other Ugandan agencies including the tax body and the immigration department. In Jan. 2020, authorities started rolling out the second phase within 2,319 mapped countryside municipalities and major towns.

    A Quartz Africa source with the knowledge of the police operations says Huawei staff and other 'experts' from China are still in the process of installing an 'integrated' system part of a classified contract between the authorities in Kampala and Huawei to supply and install surveillance equipment in cities and towns throughout Uganda.

    In 2019, Ugandan police officials confirmed the government had paid at least $126 million as part of the deal which is more than the combined 2020 budgets ($108 million) of the ministries of ICT and Science & Technology ministries.

    Local and international rights groups say footage from the Huawei surveillance cameras has been used since 2019 to monitor political rallies and other events of  president Museveni's opponents. The unregulated surveillance is characterized by pervasive location monitoring, facial recognition, biometric, and blanket data retention practices among others.

    Unlike in the West where there are security concerns about a Chinese company dominating 5G technology, Huawei has been broadly welcomed by African governments. Here it has played a key role in helping to build the telecoms infrastructure needed for a 21st century economy in several countries. But more recently its roles have expanded to other projects such as security for governments who are so inclined.

    Ahead of the 2016 polls, president Museveni's government procured the services of a UK-based firm, Gamma Group, which delivered a surveillance technology reportedly used to spy on Museveni's opponents in an operation dubbed 'Fungua Macho'.

    A Wall Street Journal investigation last year suggested the government in Kampala used assistance from Huawei to hack into messages for the presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi, better known as Bobi Wine, prompting his arrest and detention. Bobi Wine, a popular musician who was elected to parliament in 2017, is extremely popular with young Ugandans and has been a thorn in the side of the Museveni establishment.

  • US Visitors From Developing Nations To Pay Thousands In Visa Bonds #rwanda #RwOT

    0Shares
    0

    The United States will temporarily require visitors from Iran, Myanmar and a number of African nations to pay up to US$15,000 in visa bonds in a new hardline immigration measure enacted late in Donald Trump's presidency.

    The rule takes effect December 24 for a duration of six months, although it remains to be seen if it will be maintained by President-elect Joe Biden, who takes office on January 20 and has promised to be more welcoming to the rest of the world.

    The pilot program is designed to make up the costs to the US government of deporting foreigners who overstay their visas, according to a notice published Tuesday in the Federal Register by Carl Risch, the assistant secretary of state for consular affairs.

    Visitors on 'B' visas, which are issued for short-term business and tourism, will be asked to pay up to US$15,000, which will be forfeited to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency if they do not prove that they have left on time.

    The rule will apply to citizens of 23 countries that, according to the declaration, have overstay rates of more than 10 percent.

    Most of the countries are in Africa, including Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

    Other nations on the list include Iran, Myanmar, Afghanistan and Bhutan. Trump has already sharply curtailed travel from Iran — part of his 'Muslim ban' promised during his 2016 campaign, which Biden plans to rescind.

    The bonds will not affect students or travelers from fellow developed countries who are exempt from visas to enter the United States.

    Contrary to the general practice for changes to immigration rules, the Trump administration launched the bonds abruptly without a period for public comment and review.

    The State Department official defended the streamlined time-frame by saying that the issue was a matter of conducting foreign relations and hence not subject to the usual process.

    'The Pilot Program is being studied as a potential diplomatic tool to encourage foreign governments to take all appropriate actions to ensure that their nationals timely depart the United States after making temporary visits,' Risch's filing said.

    The justification is at odds with the summary in the same filing which said the program was meant to reduce the burden to the US government and 'does not aim to assess whether issuing visa bonds will be effective in reducing the number of aliens who overstay.'
