Lutte Contre Le Négationnisme Du Génocide: Lorsque le Commandant se trompe de cibles et d’ennemis
Le Commandant de la Brigade CNLG, JD Bizimana, manque d’empathie envers les survivants du génocide. Il accuse un grand déficit de compassion envers eux. Il manque d’amour et pousse le cynisme à son paroxysme, agissant envers les rescapés du génocide comme un robot pensant certes, mais sans cœur!
In conversation with Kizito Mihigo, the gospel singer who died in a Rwandan jail
Isolated from friends and family, struggling to pay bills and blacklisted from the nation’s airwaves — newly released recordings reveal why the popular gospel singer , genocide survivor and peace activist Kizito Mihigo attempted to flee Rwanda in February 2020….“You can’t work or draw inspiration from your Christian faith, to give a universal message. You must only be inspired by those in power, from the president [Paul Kagame] … The only thing they want is for us to sing the praises of President Kagame,” he said.
Melvern’s Book Intent to deceive: Denying the Genocide of the Tutsi reviewed by Rebecca Tinsley
Why is a book about genocide denial still important, 80 years after the Holocaust and 26 years after Rwanda? Because there is a thriving industry in spreading misinformation about massive human rights abuses, current and past.

Should We Thank France For Arresting Kabuga Félicien?
Well, I am not sure. Look, France’s long-time indifference and complicity with the genocidaires are too large that they overshadow a late gesture like arresting the 84-year old Kabuga. It is a shame to the French intelligence and all the justice institutions that the world’s most wanted genocide […]
One Year On, No justice for Kizito Mihigo
Some 40 genocide survivors and their friends petitioned the Rwandan President, Paul Kagame, a year ago, calling for a joint-international inquiry into the assassination of their fellow genocide survivor, Gospel Singer, and Peace activist Kizito Mihigo. One year on, our call remains unheeded so far.

25 Years Later, A Past That Is Ever-Present
At first, many things did not make sense in my 10-year-old mind. I could not understand why we, the Tutsi, were hiding, being murdered in cold blood and our houses being burnt down while our Hutu neighbors were just living a normal life. Going to the market, bars, even celebrating weddings. But I quickly understood one thing: that being a Tutsi, or at least being identified as such, was a terrible crime punishable by horrific death. I also realized that my parents and grandparents were guilty of this crime too – the crime of having been born. A crime against the very who we were-Genocide.
This is what happens when you are condemned to live side by side with your killers
11 cattle belonging to a genocide survivor were hacked with a machete yesterday in what looks like a hate crime designed to intimidate, threaten and harass the survivors. For an outsider, this incident may seem trivial but for the Rwandans, it is another ugly reminder that hate towards […]
78 Years Later, Bodies of Hundreds of Holocaust Victims Discovered

U.S Enacts Genocide Prevention Law Named After Elie Wiesel

Children of Tutsi Genocide Survivors In Rwanda inherit Parents Trauma
Researchers at Israel’s Bar-Ilan University – in collaboration with a Rwandan therapist and genocide survivor – have taken a close look at the genocide against the Tutsi people of Rwanda almost a quarter of a century after it occurred.

Reparation for Genocide Survivors is a Human Right

Holocaust: Dutch rail firm NS to pay families compensation
According to the article that appeared on BBC today, the Netherlands’ state-run rail company NS has agreed to set up a commission to compensate Holocaust survivors for transporting Jews to a Nazi transit camp.
Isn’t this another stark reminder that we, the survivors of Genocide against the Tutsi , need to keep calling for reparation against those who made the extermination of over 1 million Tutsi possible? The list is too long: The Government of Rwanda and its donors, IMF, World Bank, a dozen French and Belgian banks, countries such as France, Egypt, South Africa, UK, China, …that sold weapons to Rwanda during and slightly after genocide, despite the UN arm embargo in 1994…

A Key Pattern that all 20th Century #Genocides have in common
The German government yesterday returned human remains of the Herero and Nama genocide victims from present-day Namibia. The remains had been stored in German’s hospitals, museums, and universities for decades for scientific experiments to prove the racial superiority of white Europeans.
As I read about this moving development, I realized that one key factor is strikingly at the core of all major genocides of the 20th century…

A Genocide Fugitive Living Under Fake Names Deported From Buffalo, NY
