[Rwanda Forum] Paul Kagame Did Not End the Genocide

Paul Kagame Did Not End the Genocide

 

He Drove It, Fuelled It, Accompanied It, and Built His Power on the Myth That He Stopped It.

 

The central founding myth of Paul Kagame’s political legitimacy is that the RPF ended the 1994 genocide. Western governments repeat it. Rwandan law enforces it. This article examines, in full and with documentary evidence, why that claim is false — why Kagame’s military conduct during the genocide prolonged the killing rather than ending it, why his forces committed crimes against both Hutu and Tutsi that have never been prosecuted, why the only international prosecutor who moved to hold him accountable was removed from office, and why the myth he built on these foundations has served for thirty years as the instrument of authoritarian rule over a majority population denied the right even to mourn its dead.

Le rôle du FPR dans le génocide rwandais

 

Les déclencheurs, moteurs et causes profondes méconnus du génocide rwandais.

 

Le génocide de 1994 au Rwanda n’est pas né d’un seul acte de haine ethnique. Il a été l’aboutissement de quatre siècles de domination monarchique discriminatoire, violente et comparable à un système d’apartheid, qui a assujetti la majorité hutue, aggravés par les politiques coloniales belges qui ont durci des catégories sociales en classifications raciales, puis précipités par une campagne militaire délibérée lancée par le Front patriotique rwandais (FPR), campagne qui a ignoré des avertissements répétés sur ses conséquences catastrophiques — et suivie, après le génocide, par les massacres systématiques de civils hutus au Zaïre par le FPR lui-même. Comprendre toute l’ampleur de ces événements exige de faire preuve d’honnêteté à l’égard de toutes les dimensions de la violence.

The Role of the RPF in the Rwandan Genocide

 

The Untold Triggers, Drivers and Root Causes of the Rwandan Genocide

 

The 1994 genocide in Rwanda did not emerge from a single act of ethnic hatred. It was the culmination of four centuries of discriminatory, apartheid-like and violent monarchic rule that subjugated the Hutu majority, compounded by Belgian colonial policies that hardened social categories into racial classifications, and precipitated by a deliberate military campaign launched by the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) that ignored repeated warnings of catastrophic consequences — and followed, after the genocide, by the RPF’s own systematic massacre of Hutu civilians in Zaire. Understanding the full scope of these events demands honesty about every dimension of the violence.

Paul Kagame n’a pas mis fin au génocide.

 

Il l’a provoqué, alimenté, accompagné, et a bâti son pouvoir sur le mythe selon lequel il l’aurait arrêté.

Le mythe fondateur central de la légitimité politique de Paul Kagame est que le FPR a mis fin au génocide de 1994. Les gouvernements occidentaux le répètent. La loi rwandaise l’impose. Cet article examine, de manière complète et à l’appui de preuves documentaires, pourquoi cette affirmation est fausse — pourquoi la conduite militaire de Kagame pendant le génocide a prolongé les tueries au lieu d’y mettre fin, pourquoi ses forces ont commis des crimes contre des Hutu comme contre des Tutsi sans jamais être poursuivies, pourquoi la seule procureure internationale qui a tenté de le tenir pour responsable a été écartée de ses fonctions, et pourquoi le mythe qu’il a construit sur ces fondations sert depuis trente ans d’instrument de pouvoir autoritaire sur une population majoritaire à qui l’on refuse jusqu’au droit de pleurer ses morts.
