Rwanda, l' éloge du sang
Judi ReverThe Canadian journalist Judi Rever accuses the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) of having infiltrated the Hutu Interahamwe militias, which were at the heart of the genocidal machine, and of having participated directly in the massacre of Tutsis.
A highly criticised book:
In support of her remarks, Rever relies on a classified report from the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) – a document that is not reproduced in her book. The book is strongly criticised by most experts on the subject, who accuse her of defending the highly controversial thesis of a double genocide that claimed 500,000 Hutu victims.
On the lalibrairie.com website, one of the online databases where the book is referenced, it is accompanied by the following presentation: “Developed over two decades, this investigation into the Rwandan genocide calls into question the [official] version of the events of 1994. Instead of naming the Rwandan Patriotic Front and its leader, the current president, Paul Kagame, as the initiators of the end of the conflict, the journalist denounces the criminal nature of the events, thus putting forward the theory of a double genocide.”
