Jan 24, 2010 Rwanda: Beyond Reasonable Doubt
"The April 6, 1994 assassination of Rwandan President Habyarimana
was the work of Hutu extremists who calculated that killing their
own leader would torpedo a power-sharing agreement known as the
Arusha Accords. The landmark deal would have ended years of
conflict by creating a broad-based transitional government and an
integrated Rwandan army. ... Despite the far-fetched conspiracy
theories that have circulated over the years, the assassination
plot was relatively straightforward. Colonel Bagosora was
intimately familiar with the president's travel schedule and
sufficiently powerful that the night before the summit, he was
able to change the composition of the Rwandan delegation to
ensure that Army Chief of Staff General Deogratias Nsabimana -
who opposed Bagosora's genocidal plans - would be on the
president's plane." Mutszinzi Report,
Apr 21, 2009 Rwanda: Genocide Anniversary Reflections
"Before the 10th anniversary, the international movement known as
Remembering Rwanda was motivated by a fear that the genocide was
being forgotten by the rest of the world. That concern has proved
premature. Rwanda is probably as well known today as any tragic
event very far from western countries, and causing direct harm to
none of them, can be. ... Yet at the same time, as in virtually
every other genocide, denial is alive and kicking." - Gerald Caplan
Jan 28, 2009 Congo (Kinshasa): Risky Steps towards Peace
The UN Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) has
announced that it is providing logistical support for the joint
Congolese-Rwandan military operation in eastern Congo, to maximize
protection of civilians and reintegration of rebel forces into the
Congolese national army. MONUC was not informed of the operation in
advance, and there are real fears for the consequences for
civilians. Nevertheless, most observers see the move, reflecting
new agreement between Rwandan and Congolese governments, as a
prerequisite for more fundamental peace-making measures.
