On October 1st last year, the BBC broadcast a documentary, "Rwanda's Untold Story," which upends the most fundamental and widely held beliefs about what happened in Rwanda's war and massacres of the 1990s, and in ongoing, interwoven, regional conflict, in Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Rwandan President Paul Kagame and his supporters angrily denounced the documentary, its producers, and the BBC, but this week a list of people involved in the African Great Lakes Region through their work and/or humanitarian commitments, published a statement supporting the BBC titled "A Call for Truth and Justice in the African Great Lakes Region."

Visitors to Rwanda report that his image is everywhere. Kagame and his supporters attacked the BBC documentary, "Rwanda's Untold Story," and its producers John Conroy and Jane Corbin, and the BBC, because the documentary upended the most widely held beliefs about what really happened in Rwanda in 1994. However, this week a group of military officers, doctors, and aid workers who were on the ground in Rwanda in 1993 and 1994 published a statement in support of the documentary, "Appeal for Peace and Justice in the African Great Lakes Region." The entire statement can be read on the website of the San Francisco Bay View, http://sfbayview.com/2015/02/a-call-for-truth-and-justice-in-the-african-great-lakes-region/. |

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
When the white man came we had the land and they had the bibles; now they have the land and we have the bibles.
