I am sequence right question to ask these days its hard to filter out the newly seen keep track of whats really important the bottom line tackles the big issues this is shaping the United States its people its economy and the way it deals with the rest of the world the bottom line only. It is hard to comprehend how Something Like this could happen the. How in 1904 cords of hutu militias would roam the streets and countryside of wonder looking for to seize to kill. It is difficult to comprehend why they would turn on their neighbors their friends and in some cases members of their own families. It was a killing spree that lasted 100 days and came 2800000 lives more than a 10th of the population was lost. It is also hard to comprehend who could instigate such an atrocity. This is the story of 3 seem to be. The role that he and his Radio Station. Played in the rwandan genocide and how it could begin managed to evade justice for 26 year. Old girl heard her cry for the god of love her. But it isnt often it is not possible to talk about the genocide we go talking about physical he was the finance you know of at 10. 20 like it. It was a Radio Station run by genocide i do loads and i go all day long it was used to insult or demonize to seize to say that of a well it cuts our world who are. Sick with. Where. You are. Frog river and quoted secret sample cockroaches they would refer to the myths nakes they were trying to save objectified them and distance rwandans from one another what are you going to tell you. About the why did you feel you were the humanizing a group of people before the actual act explains makes it a lot easier for people who are actually sent out the foot soldiers to do their work. Rather than work with her for. Her or her or her. From the very beginning. This started with the genocide agenda few days before it even went to mare a publication called come on its front page of the times ng at him they said now the tutsis i finished who. From day one up to lend would explode to historic divisions within the country rwanda is majority hutu and minority toots however historically the 2 groups were not divided by ethnicity but by class but took cs were seen as the elites the hutu says subordinates then came colonialism 1st the germans in 1904 then the belgians in 1916 both colonists implemented ethnic hierarchies with europeans at the top then the tootsie in the hutus the minority tootsies were charged with running the country effectively becoming colonial proxies the majority hutus were excluded and what started as a cross to fight vested into ethnic hatred. In 1959 the hutus took power from the took seize in a blood soaked revolution independence from colonial rule followed 3 years later backed the fear of to return it lingered on. And over the next 3 decades there were outbreaks of ethnic amount of aid violence that sent hundreds of thousands of tutsi refugees into neighboring countries. By 1903 when up to them as north just phoenician could be again and his journalists at the station could play on those entrenched fears and resentments of the tips. More the. More the. Thought. I would have the. But 1st the new station needed listeners and the strategy actin and put in place at a target demographic. F. N. M. Played really quick music i think it was a way of attracting the new field particularly the people who only that Radio Station wants to plead and use music to engage listeners and then in the middle of a truck it would cut straight to the message and selfhate. Cool. One of the gents had to be done the Musical Instruments wes saw nice to the end people whod even feel like dancing and dancing using with a demolition to as the attacking the victims. Its evil genius how you into tain killers as as a way of taking away the give. This is what they are to them did. Made clear to me to my name is billy. I am 65 years old and currently imprisoned in the region to prison for but his speech in the genocide against the tutsi. Very demo ricky was a popular present. I dont know i would love. Nothing more than a little. Bit of a program. She openly and repeatedly called for the murder of the church softened by name and when the killings began they were they could help coordinate their hutu militias known as that into which by revealing the whereabouts of to seize and moderate hutus who were in hiding not with their mother and not about her she told her listeners quote not to kill the cockroaches with a bullet but cut them to pieces with a machete. After the genocide benedict fled to the congo but was arrested in 1909 and sentenced to life in prison. When asked what compelled her to incite such mass murderous violence a murky place it on fear of her employer radio me a colleague and the man at the top. Each of you sick with David Initiative they put in place what was called a student lead they think. They would tell us that if we didnt do as we were told would be considered a complete sense of the questions they too. Would be viewed as treated just like it would seem so we had to save our lives as were. The catalyst for the genocide occurred on april 2nd 1904 and wonders who took president juvenile happy im on this plane was shot down out of t. L. M. Was the 1st station turnouts the news they blamed it on tutsi rebels but in the days leading up to the crash lessness say that they were being told to stay tuned for a big event it was later established that the assassination was carried out by hutu extremists willing to sacrifice a hutu president in order to trigger the genocide. Catherine bond was a freelance journalist based in nairobi at the time when news of his death broke she scrambled to god and would soon experience firsthand the insidious nature of activism sprawl costs catherine bond channel 4 news kigali we were able to get a lift on a convoy of french troops going into kigali into the center kigali to pick up. And at that point radio mill colleen had called people out to greet the french troops and so we saw people come out out of the house alongside the road. When we passed back along the same spot there were just lines of peoples bodies and it transpired that. Colleen heard called everybody out to greet the french and then in doing so people had come out of their houses who were to seize in hiding and. Militiamen had moved in and killed them. You can see footage of. Television footage is of. Killers on the road blocks holding a machete in 100 and the radio and they are there. Whenever someone picked up a machete to go on it was often because he had gated them too and people way we used to get the permission from soldiers. But also from citizens our listeners we used to call into our team and say we just saw some coke which is you would then but because that information you know and he made a homely and soldiers knew exactly what to do. On the when i heard my name greyed out when they read to you when caught cold to my stomach i thought its over for me theyre going to kill me. In 1904 sean pearson who too used to sell music a sits in the robe on the capitol god some of those cassettes contain songs that were popular with tootsie rebels went out of salem acquired one of the cassettes played about and they called psycho who to out by name he knew that they were putting a target on his back so he went into hiding in a septic tank was if you wanted them want i entered my home with a small red id listen to at 10 am so legally for a week they used to say shapiro lives in this neighborhood you have to cut you you have to kill him hes very dangerous if you dont kill him hes going to kill you with that was it all until after it was my but truth cannot be run out because i stayed in my home for 2 months and 15 days. Tom and that hero is one of the leading experts on the rwandan genocide whose lifes work has been to document the atrocities that were committed in the lead up to the genocide in the hero says that one of the few moderate hutus in government appealed to could be good to stop them from inciting the mass murder of the tootsies. And in november and 3 the oddity of them was that someone would. But then minister of information and couple go head of the delegation they were told that the reveal was incendiary and wasnt the genocide that is the tutsi this warning was not to expect it and instead the minister and his family were put to them he waited on the 7th of approach an. Artillery and had multiple share helpless thank looted for one president juvenile hobby a minor and members of his administration and those ties to government would prove critical. A study conducted in 2014 concluded that hutu militia violence increased significantly in for the ages with up to limber section the 3rd of the station signal travel to the more took chiefs would be killed. And it was no accident that villages across the country. To supposedly privately enter kakali based Radio Station that worked under normal circumstances have limited reach. Out to them was meant to reach their always administrative area in the country because apart from their own transmitters they were being for through to by the National Review they had some links with rhonda state media away to rhonda and they used it sometimes mission signals and some of its resources when youre talking about the genocide in the segment to genocide watch or talking about it to them and they didnt want. The world watched as for wanda points off the pot the United Nations reduced its peacekeeping force from 2500 troops to just 5. All over the world there were people like me u. S. President bill clinton would later apologize to rwandans for americas own action saying he was unaware of the scale of the killings he did not fully appreciate the depth and the speed with which you were being engulfed by this unimaginable terror but he said ministration knew what was going on in washington even considered targeting ophir them bombing the stations antenna or jamming it signaled by flying a plane overhead the latter option at 8500. 00 per flight was deemed to cost. U. S. Involvement in the story would come but not when it mattered the killings continue. It was not until the one Patriotic Front of the r p f c rebel force formed in uganda reach could garley that out of the lamb would be targeted the rebels had heard the costs they knew that stopping the station would save lives. Would you know we had that in order to stop us working it will. I thought that one going to be able to keep good guys to where they were not success the intent was and we kept walking the recuse a bit i dont think the rebels had taken to retirees and you were told it was tied to the entries when our 2 lives to. Be crossed over to the coup that would equal. After the r p f defeated Government Forces and hutu militias many of the perpetrators of the genocide felician computer among them fled the country part of a mass exodus of hutu refugees 3 years later in 1907 could be a go was indicted by the un says the International Criminal tribunal for rwanda on 2 counts of crimes against humanity and 5 counts of genocide including the direct and public insight. To commit genocide but by that stage on the run. His whereabouts. Richard prosper served as a prosecutor for the United NationsInternational Criminal tribunal for rwanda from 196998 he prosecuted the 1st ever case of genocide under the. Genocide convention against a one named john paul. Who was sentenced to life in prison for crimes against humanity. Genocide. The 1st case was to investigate genocide. Focus on a particular. Political and were able to prosecute him in order to show how the whole thing and by doing that. The International Community and the u. S. In particular had been reluctant to intervene in rwanda seeing what was happening there as a unfixable tribal conflict. However that all changed in march 9095 years after the genocide. A group of western tourists on safari in neighboring you can there were attacked by exiled to militiamen 8 were killed including 2 americans reporting at the time described it as an act of revenge against the u. S. For its perceived support of the tutsis but washington the once been happy to take a back seat in the hunt for computer it would now take an active role it may not be easy it may take some time but it will have the highest priority of the United States so now when we move into roughly around 20012002 i am now the u. S. Ambassador at large responsible for war crimes issues we launched an Aggressive Campaign to go after the indicted persons that were at large. They key person for the rwanda context we put them on a poster and held a press conference where we broadcasted throughout the region that we were offering up to 5000000. 00 for any information that would lead to their arrest and capture of. We put this information on t. V. We put this information on radio we put this information in newspapers and circulated to fight the kenyan government that press conference took place in kenya with the authorities were concentrating their search efforts could be his name had. Company registers there publicly the more government was saying all the right things you know it is also better not if it whatsoever. That doesnt. In get him up and headed. For privately it was a different story could be because the presence in kenya was an open secret that members of the my government determined to keep. The search continues and it would soon come in the life of a kenyan journalist. From a diplomat but just for fun what did they get through my name is just a tory the issue. I am the older brother. Is now been 17 years since his death and were still waiting for justice. William turned out to be a person that came forward based on our our campaign. And he came forward with information saying that he knew where it was in kenya and particularly nairobi william we knew him was a journalist who worked for a local newspaper here and aside from the journalism i came to learn he was also. Sort of like a Political Fix for a couple of people in the Civil Service wanted an article written you know positively they were good to him and he developed a friendship with a very very senior members of the moyes regime when we 1st met with him of course we. Normally would because you know we thought maybe someone was just trying to get 5000000. 00 but as we began to discuss with him further we started to understand that he had personally seen that he had seen because of his relationship with the kenyan Government Official he was responsible for the Security Services for kenya what people need to remember as well is that the boy that she was very very friendly to that obviously money and therefore that kind of friendship would carry over to the accommodation of people who are within that one of these elite that sort of also came here as we move into late 2002 we had william who gave us credible information that we confirmed through polygraph tests we also approached the kenyan Government Official and gave him a polygraph which he failed. So now we felt that we had enough to move forward and set up an operation to capture the. Plan was simple william a new head would be good to his hearts just outside of nairobi the net the american snow that he was there and u. S. Agents with me for him and make the arrest the operation of the green light and so it became the way to go. As the hours passed the days. So ultimately our security official decided to ignore you you know maybe you better go and try to track down with him to find out what what went wrong. And once he arrived at Williams House it was a long. Look through the bedroom window upstairs and was able to see werent it on his bed in a pool of blood the 1st assertion by the police was that he die you dont of Carbon Monoxide poisoning but his brother as well as a number of other militaries accessed his home and saw the state of the home. Run record that we opened the door and we were shocked there was a rug on the flow that looked like you had blood on it and there was also blood around it then we went upstairs and the bed was covered in blood all over the floor there was no madres on the bed no blankets. It seemed as if someone had been trying to clean up. And the was never able to get an autopsy done but it became very clear that yet be cue. To calling for an investigation at the time Nothing Happened when looking at the operation what we can see what went wrong is that there was. The information was betrayed in other words that we believe that someone within the kenyan. Security service was aware of our operation and tipped off to not only not be there but also tipped off that william was a source of information and that this was a trap. The same could be eluded the americans his former associates and 3990 minor and john but we were sentenced to life in prison and more came to be known as no one does media trial they too were charged with incitement to commit genocide but by that stage biggest trail had once again called the whole world and for the most part it would stay cold for the next 17 years. One of the most wanted suspects of the rwanda genocide has been arrested in france for this and the man accused of bankrolling and organizing much of it genocide. Is accused of bankrolling and using his Radio Station to broadcast the calls for modern. Phoenician could be was funny arrested in this apartment block in the outskirts of powers 6000 miles from. A french court has ruled that his next stop tanzania and the uns International Criminal tribunal for rwanda. One of the Lessons Learned from the. Case outside of the substance of what happened in 1994 and his role. Is the willingness of people. For financial gain and what i mean by the only way to get. All these years. Network of support and that network of support was only viable in my view on corruption we need to remember that the genocide happened to people it happened to families it decimated societies and it is that we must return to when we are importing about a trial of a person like him because a trial in and of itself will have no context dont want no meaning it is not tied to the very fact of the crimes that hes accused of and who they are affected. From behind these wars he has returned to poor costing she now runs the prison as Radio Service providing her fellow inmates with their daily. Germ the genocide them ricky says that she didnt fire a single bullet or pick up a machete but she has been sentenced to spend the rest of her life here because of how the airwaves when a genocide where the killers from the streets with a radio in one hand and a machete in the other. That i commuted to people to go out and kill. But i didnt make a decision and if i could speak to cope i would tell him that what he did to us. What he. This was much truth in that he created that reduced to me with a hidden agenda he said that reduces strong with the strongest one was. And the owner of that station has been in hiding for 26 years it is something that has caused me great but now im happy about his. Free education for all was the promise the reality provoked a generation. To drugs enough blood to want to thank god how a protest over education fees. Morphed into a National Response there is god and i fear. Everything must for. A witness documentary on al jazeera.
