Activist and author Consolee Nishimwe, who lost her father, 3 brothers in genocide, says groundwork laid long before mass killings of Tutsis, moderate Hutus began in 1994 - Anadolu Agency
Felicien Kabuga, who is alleged to have helped finance Rwanda's 1994 genocide, is being tried by a UN tribunal. The 87-year-old has refused to attend the opening of his trial, judges said.
they were in the churches where they ran to protect themselves. the world wouldn t even call it a genocide, in the beginning. you re on the ground, you are seeing what you are seeing. what else do you call this? rwanda was tough because the hutus who had committed the genocide had crossed the border from wanda, into the democratic republic of congo. it was just hard to film because when the hutus escaped, they started dying of cholera. it was just biblical.
The claim that Paul Rusesabagina was a hero in 1994 is false. It was perpetuated by some of his present supporters and the makers of the film, “Hotel Rwanda”.
