Like the US government, the European Union has a cold ” congratulatory ” message for the Adolf Hitler of Africa!

It appears that the European Union has nothing to congratulate the Hitler of Africa for; not even his 98.9% ” victory”!! Avoiding to mention the incumbent president’s name or his office in a ” congratulatory” message, after landslide ” victory” is unusual in diplomacy.

a) Is Kagame such a political liability to the European Union that the EU official statement can’t mention his name?
b) Why did the EU avoid mentioning Kagame or his office, in an official message that should have focused on Kagame’s victory?
c) What does this mean for Kagame, whose major sponsor was the European Union?

Statement by the spokesperson following the Presidential elections in Rwanda – European… http://europa.eu/!hD99qh via @EU_Commission

The European Union has closely followed the presidential elections in Rwanda.

The Rwandan people have engaged in the democratic process peacefully, with polling held in an organised and secure environment, and a diverse set of issues having been raised across a wide range of media in the campaign.
This marks a step to strengthen the electoral process. In view of future elections, the EU expects further efforts to increase the inclusiveness and transparency of the process, in particular as regards the registration of the candidates, the tabulation of results and other prerequisites for achieving a level playing field.  In this regard, it supports recommendations made by the African Union electoral observation mission to avoid future risks of counting irregularities, and to allow disqualified candidates to appeal.
The EU remains ready to support Rwanda to meet that objective.
