@LonzenRugira @lindamelvern Hi Lonzen and Linda, can you guide us on where to be able to access and watch this documentary?

Excellent! By @lindamelvern After reading this you have to reflect on the demand by Americans that Rwanda removes its defensive measures against the threat of the FDLR under the assumption that the US would intervene to help Rwanda in the event the FDLR reached Rwandan soil.

Survivors of the 1994 #Genocide against the Tutsi are using their voices and written testimonies to preserve truth, challenge denial & ensure future generations never forget. Read more: newtimes.co.rw/article/34665/…

@Kongoecho His notable book on the FDLR exposed its European leadership. Here Dominic explains how the remnant 1994 genocidal forces remain committed to their task, spreading a horribly familiar racist ideology and genocide denial as the leadership finds a welcome in Kinshasa.

Today we mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Together with people around the world, we stand in solidarity with Holocaust and Genocide survivors, honoring the victims, preserving memory and recommitting to educating future generations to prevent hatred, dehumanisation, and genocide. #HolocaustRemembranceDay #HolocaustMemorialDay #NeverAgain

@hackinginquiry The warnings were there all along. Everything you ever needed to know about Rupert Murdoch was played out at Wapping, forty years ago.

Amb @martin_ngoga, @RwandaUN Timeless statement👇👇 "...during the Genocide against the Tutsi, the world kept silent not due to insufficient information, but due to insufficient courage. ....remembrance without responsibility is hollow, commemoration without prevention is a contradiction..."

Humanitarians carry hope where there's despair. Humanity where there's inhumanity. We insist they are protected. Honoured to join HRH The Prince of Wales at launch of the Humanitarian Memorial – a tribute by Michael Landy to colleagues who made the ultimate sacrifice.

@navipillay Judge Pillay is an expert on the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. She is a former judge at the ICTR where she described a strategy for genocide, adopted and elaborated with coordination a central element. Killing techniques had been tested for speed and efficiency.

“It is clear there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza through acts that meet the criteria set forth in the Genocide Convention.” UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry's report shows #Israel has committed #genocide in #Gaza. ohchr.org/sites/default/…

“We have seen civilians all over the world stepping up but there is a huge absence of those whose legal responsibility it is to step up,” she said. “These governments, these people in power, have a legal duty to act to prevent a genocide...' #dkpol theguardian.com/world/2025/sep…

@DrBrianBilalK My thanks and best wishes.

Read, comprehend and be free. 🥶 Thanks @lindamelvern in "A people betrayed. The role of the west in #Rwanda's Genocide".

Today's powerful testimony on genocide denial could apply to Rwanda in 1994 when the denial of the attempt to eliminate Tutsi was present at planning and execution stages. We watched UK politicians deny it was happening, these people unaccountable today with reputations intact.

The UK record is shameful. Faced with clear evidence of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi the government of John Major devised one policy – do nothing. "Neither the press nor the public was interested”, Sir Jeremy Greenstock explained. How hollow the promises of Never Again.
