A life sentence for genocide confirmed on appeal in a Paris courtroom this week for Rwandan policeman @Hategekimana due to the tremendous efforts of French human rights groups @Cpcr_fr. It remains to be seen why British journalist Michela Wrong chose to testify for his defense.

The cumulative details here build an evidenced based argument. This is a direct response to the mendacious and the genocide deniers who distort history for their own personal ambitions and current political purposes. Jonathan Beloff, PhD

The toll on the children of Rwanda was determined by UNICEF finding most child survivors witnessed extreme forms of brutality, and at some point had thought they would die. Most did not believe they would become adults. This is the remarkable true story of one of these children.

Thank you, Dimitrie. The 1994 genocide against the Tutsi was predictable and preventable. As clear evidence emerged the more resistant to act the Western powers became as politicians and officials blatantly disregarded their treaty obligations under the 1948 Genocide Convention.

A fine piece of journalism from Maria Malagardis that merits the widest circulation. A considered and fact-based report it rests on verified events rather than the all-too-familiar disinformation that spreads so widely and is often used by western government to inform policy.

The genocidal forces were defeated in 1994, and not destroyed. The FDLR remains committed to completing the genocide against the Tutsi while a campaign of denial is waged world-wide blaming the victims for their fate and fooling the unwary. Genocide remains a crime with no end.

The launch yesterday for the remarkable The Snowfall: One Boy’s Account of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda by Gus Mukurarinda at the Inkuru Library. Gus writes with the voice of the child he once was, a direct witness to this appalling milestone in all our history.
