[AFRICAFORUM] The Peace That Wasn't: Rwanda 20 Years After the Genocide

 

 
"In 1990 the current president of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, led a rebel group with the stated goal to seek liberation from the previous dictator, who was eventually assassinated when his plane was shot down. The goals of the rebellion were multifaceted, but among them were freedom for Rwandans, and democracy. For four years, rebels fought with the government. Despite their expressed noble and ambitious goals, the rebels committed massacres against civilians. Hundreds of thousands of the frightened populace fled from their homes, away from the rebels, telling stories of the horror they had experienced. Whole villages were wiped out, communities were invited to meetings, and then bombed. Individuals were tortured, sometimes strung up on trees by their entrails. And on and on came the stories of rebel-sponsored terror. This is why a peace agreement was signed before the genocide."
