The Rwanda Genocide's Origins Are in Resource Extraction and US Militarism
Judi Rever's book “In Praise of Blood” connects the modern scramble for control of African resources to the Rwandan genocide and sets the record straight about its alleged hero, Paul Kagame.

@Derek Fuller : It's not necessarily the person who has the best weapons who makes the rules. Let's say that there's a sharp shooter who has a high powered rifle and is aiming to kill people, but an innocent person comes by and the sharp shooter doesn't target this other person as he or she approaches, apparently unarmed, but once that person gets close enough, pulls out a straw, places a poisoned dart in it and fires, without the sharp shooter noticing. If the dart shooter is accurate, then the sharp shooter could be knocked out, or dead, within seconds. In that case, which is the best weapon, the hi-tech one, or the primitive and very silent one? There likely are some people who could do this.
I am happy that people are aware of this. Judith is right.

Thank you so much for talking about this issue. By the way, before RPF take over Rwanda, RPF came to Burundi and kill our democratic elected president " Ndadaye " . Paul Kagame is a Devil whose job is to working with Westerners politicians to kill East Africans.

Kagame grew up in a refugee camp and you people didn't care about him for 30 years until he raised an army and liberated his people. Did Kagame end the monarchy in Burundi? Did he kill Rwagasore? Did he try a coup in 1965? Did kill hutus in 1972? Ndadaye died because of your failure as Burundians to unite and build a strong nation. Is Kagame responsible for Mobutu's corruption and the collapse of Zaire? If your country is weak, corrupt and disorganized, get your shit together instead of desperately whining and blaming others for your past failures and poor leadership.

The collapse of Zaire is bc of Kagame's white masters, the very same who brought him into power and the one responsible. Let's also not pretend that Uganda, Burundi, and Rwanda sent their armies to invade Zaire and kicked out Mobutu that way. You Tutsis can enjoy your vampire Kagame, the real genocidaire, as much as you want to, but, you should have learned history that if you trust the white devil he will abandon you as he did in the 1960s

Two hutus presidents killed in the same aeroplane. Burundese and ruandese presidents
Interview with the former US ambassador to Rwanda on 10/5/03: "I held a meeting at my residence [on 4/7/94, the day after the plane crash] with whatever representatives the Rwandan government could come up with. Three Rwandans showed up. I presented an offer which, by this time, by phone we had gotten cleared [with the US government] -- that the United States was prepared to *BRING IN A TEAM TO HELP INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE* of the president's plane being shot down. What we needed was a clear request from the authorities, and the answer to that was, "We don't have means at hand to make that request." I said, "Well, you take a piece of paper and pencil and write it out right here if you want." But clearly they were not prepared to request United States assistance."

Why would the death of Habyarimana justify (trigger) the killing of innocent children? More prominent and influential leaders like Lumumba and Sankara were killed, was there a genocide afterwards? President Kayibanda (a Hutu) was killed by Habyarima (a Hutu), how many people were killed in retaliation? You make it sound like Hutus killers did the right thing by slaughtering their poor Tutsi neighbours simply because a dumbass president like Habyarimana died.

However, others see all the blessings that have been bestowed on that Continent and decided to themselves that they must rob kill and plunder and take everything, from the human resources to all the wealth that God has deposited in the ground. Well, I have news for them. This is what the bible says about robbing Africa and it's people. Proverbs 22:16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want. Proverbs 22: 22 Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate: -23 For the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them. America has never repented for the evil of slavery. Even today their leaders boast of being the greatest nation on earth. How did they become great? By constantly targeting Africa and her descendants across the globe Africans.

That woman is a known hater and liar. Take the opposite of whatever piece of propaganda comes out of her mouth and you’ll be right.
Americans and citizens of the West in general need to understand how conflict and war in resource-rich countries is built into the very fabric of America's 'foreign policy', industry (manufacture of weapons and technological gadgets) and trade, and therefore the economy. Unfortunately, the author's appeals to the moral conscience of Americans to take an interest in these conflicts will fall on deaf ears because people are way to comfortable, too docile and pacified by the gadgets that these corporations throw at them, too preoccupied with social media, to care. Its like giving someone a sleeping pill, then giving them a task that requires maximum focus and attention.
People sometimes you make me lough. How can you listen to these people who don’t have any pain about those people we lost in Rwanda in genocide against Tutsi. First of all the name you are using show that you were paid by Hutus to cover their face. My question is what is your interest behind this? People don’t be foolish , these ladies know nothing.

@@jongraves3097 Thanks. I’d like to note that whatever support went to Uganda had nothing to do with Rwanda but everything to do with Uganda’s conflict with Sudan. Sudan was a member of the Arab League (hostile to Israel) and the home of Osama bin Laden. It was even accused of involvement in the bombing of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. Furthermore its war of secession was in full swing, eventually causing it to split in half in 2011. US media routinely portrayed that war as ‘Muslim persecution of Christians’ in Sudan. US hostility towards that country was intense. Uganda supported separatist guerilla attacks in Sudan. The latter retaliated with air raids over Uganda, in addition to harboring and supporting Uganda’s own rebels. The US supported Uganda (albeit to a rather modest extent) only as a way to get back at Sudan. It even bombed a pharmaceutical complex in Sudan’s capital city, saying it was a chemical weapon factory.
