Negotiating Genocide in Rwanda
This book is an oral history-based study of the politics of history in the aftermath of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. Using life history and thematic interviews, the author brings the narratives of officials, survivors, returnees, perpetrators, and others whose lives have been intimately affected by genocide into conversation with scholarly studies of the Rwandan genocide, and Rwandan history more generally. In doing so, she explores the following questions: How do Rwandans use history to make sense of their experiences of genocide and related mass atrocities? And to what end? In the aftermath of such violence, how do people’s interpretations of the varied forms of suffering they endured then influence their ability to envision and support a peaceful future for their nation that includes multi-ethnic cooperation?
Hearsay’s Victims
The author has chosen to show the plight of ordinary men, women and children caught in the turmoil of human madness. One by one, the main characters tell their harrowing stories to a listening priest. Then follows explanation of the psychological effects on emotionally damaged psyche, because there is an aftermath. We can imagine that the purpose of this book is healing of the emotional pain that of the author and that of the public who have witnessed these horrors. This is not an easy read. Emotions run high. Nothing is spared to the reader. One is reminded of the Marquis de Sade or Kafka in extremism of the ordeal man is made to endure. Death, in this book, becomes a person exacting its measure on the innocent and the not so innocent. The Hutu are not the only ones to blame. Colonization of the country has had its effect on the different ethnic groups in Cyacu. And yet, the book is not about hatred and revenge. It is about love thy enemy and forgiveness. Man’s greatness is in rising above the circumstances that drag him down.

Rwanda : enfin, la France s'agenouille
Ça y est ! Nous venons de passer d’une attitude française d’hostilité assumée (F. Mitterrand et J. Chirac) à la reconnaissance de la faute (E. Macron) en passant par les faux semblants (N. Sarkozy) et l’indifférence (F. Hollande). Ainsi donc, pour « se faire pardonner », la France est aujourd’hui prête à donner « quelque chose » au Rwanda. Kare kose se! comme diraient les Rwandais. Ce qui devait arriver est en effet en train de se passer et, avec une « discrétion d’autruche », la France se résout finalement à assumer sa part de culpabilité dans le drame rwandais. Finies donc les circonlocutions sarkoziennes, genre « erreur d’aveuglement ».
Rwanda : Les plans B de Kagame, ou comment il a roulé tout le monde
Vingt ans après sa prise de pouvoir au Rwanda, le général Paul Kagame n’a pas fini d’étonner : démentant les pronostics de presque tous les analystes, l’homme a toujours emprunté des itinéraires que ne voyaient pas se dessiner ses partenaires. De son mentor Museveni à ses alliés occidentaux, en passant par ses compagnons de lutte, il a bluffé tout le monde. Recourant sans cesse à des « plans B » sous-tendus par moult mensonges, il a non seulement survécu à un exil particulièrement peu clément, mais Kagame a réussi le miracle de se transformer de cet officier mal aimé de tous en l’homme fort adulé par bien de puissants et craint par son propre peuple ainsi que tous ses voisins.
