The Rwandan genocide myth (part 1)

The Rwandan genocide myth (part 1)

Hotel Rwanda is Western propaganda and a complete fabrication of what actually happened, not just in 1994, but before that. In other words, there was no genocide, but there was a civil war backed by external interests who wanted to control of the country's resources.

To be clear, a lot of Rwandans were murdered during 'the 100 days' of April 1994. Probably hundreds of thousands more than the official account.

But that’s not where the myth(s) are found.

The Rwandan genocide wasn't genocide. It was a civil war where both sides killed, and the numbers are inflated propaganda.

— Peter Erlinder, former ICTR defence counsel

In short, there was no genocide between the Hutus and Tutsis.

First, Hutus—not Tutsis—made up the majority of those killed.
