Dear Survivors,

My dad used to tell me ”Kubaho, kandi kubaho neza bibe intego yacu kandi nicyo abacu badutwaye batwifurizaga.”

Nzahora nzirikina iki cyifuzo cy’umubyeyi, ko ubuzima bufite intego buduha imbaraga zo kubaho kandi tukaberaho abacu batagihari.
Aya magambo mbasangije, na y’umubyeyi wifuzaga ko amateka mabi twagiriwe muri 94, na mbere yaho, atazaganza imitima ikomeretse y’abacitse kw’icumu rya jenoside yakorewe abatutsi muri 1994, bikatwambura ubumuntu n’ubupfura abacu badusigiye.

You are not entirely wrong, Akeyezu did fight alongside the tutsi at the beginning of the genocide.
He fought alongside my uncles, and would come see my grandpa everyday to give him an update on the battles against Interahamwe not RPF, and even captured a pick up truck from them.
But let’s not re-write history, Akeyezu never did anything that did not personally benefit him. He only fought alongside the tutsi because it served him. When he on April 18th, he realized the interahamwe were only after tutsi and not MDR politicians like himself.
He switched sides, the same night he passed by my grandparents’ house and unlike the days before, he did not stop to give an update. He just drove past him and my uncle. The very next morning, Akayezu and a group of interehamwe came to my grandparents’ house to kill them.

Its an absolute shame that @Cambridge_Uni is providing a platform to a genocide sympathiser. #JudiRever #Kwibuka27
Judi Rever’s claims of Akayesu’s innocence are typical of how these genocide scholars take incomplete information to serve their denial. But this one hits close to home. Akayesu is guilty because we have seen and experience his acts first hand.
In the first days of the Genocide, it is partially true that Akayesu resisted alongside Tutsis (including my grand-father & uncles). However, this was not due to empathy towards Tutsis. It was merely internal partisan conflict that preserved into the early days of the genocide.

A couple days ago I read a tweet calling October “an awareness month for the Genocide against the Hutus”, it is important to understand not only is this the insulting act of claiming a double genocide, but it is also the telling of wrong history.
The month of October should remind us of the thousands of Tutsis who had been oppressed in many other instances before April 7th 1994. There are alot of events that show us the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi was not a single, random event, it had been planned.
30 years ago, on October 4th 1990, a curfew was imposed on Kigali and throughout the night, gunshots were heard across the city. This was a staged assault by FAR.

Nothing more exhausting than explaining, to people, why it is “The Genocide Against the Tutsis” and NOT “The Rwandan Genocide”. Ariko its our duty ntakundi.

Interesting take, but then again can you expect better from Dayo? He has never been the brightest. Image
It would be disrespectful to our families and friends who were killed in the most excruciating of ways, if we allowed those who committed those atrocities and their friends, to re-write history. The Genocide was about the exterminations of the Tutsis.
