1)The killers like @n_sebatware and @ndereyehe,planners like father of @JLHaby and @haby_haby2 organisers and supporters of genocide will seek to hide the crime,distort its statistics,deflect attention..THREAD

2) and even rebrand themselves as heroes not villains like the so called a father of @ckanimba and @AnaiseKanimba, saviours not savages. Armenia, the Holocaust, Srebrenica, Cambodia and Rwanda:...

3)each is a lesson in human depravity, yet each genocide has been followed by determined and continuous efforts to nullify, downplay and revise the perpetrators' role where Rwanda used Gacaca local courts to invent Genosidaires roles and punished...

4)Peter Balakian,he is a writer on the Armenian genocide, noted at the time of its centenary last year that"Genocide denial is the last phase of genocide. It denounces the victims and rehabilitates the perpetrators...

5)It also robs the victim's culture of all moral order." Today, the rise of social media contributes another weapon to the denialists' armoury like @shinani1
@Sergiondayi etc..

6)Its particular climate not allowed but allows themselves to pose as an expert with an objective, or at least plausible,view (often with links added to impart a sense of evidence-based authority)...🤔🤔🤔

7)Such contributions are often a disguise for well-orchestrated (though "anonymous") public-relations (PR) campaigns of disinformation that demeans Genocide totally which is false at all come on!!!!😠😠😠..

8)The blizzard can be of such momentum that its lies and propaganda are taken as the "new" truth by credulous sections of the public, even as incredulous survivors look on horror..😥😥

9)Perpetrators have sought to hide their crimes and responsibility, and made unlikely alliances with those who seek only an opportunity to make easy capital (political or personal) from the horror of 1994..🤕🤕

10)The result has been to implant and cultivate a narrative of genocide denial, merging past horrors and condemning the victims to new pain and suffering..

12)The new "truth"
The genocide of April to July 1994 left a truly shattered landscape. The country was characterized by a mass grave, bankrupt of cash and commodities,hopeless to the Genocide survivors etc...

13) The new government faced with an enormous post-genocide crisis and task of rebuilding from "ground zero". But the perpetrators, who had fled to refugee camps in Zäire(now the DRC),Burundi and Tanzania, were in defeat quickly plotting a new agenda...

14)Already, their intent was - breathtaking as it sounds - to persuade the international community+individuals like
@kenethroth etc..that there had been no genocide, and so no responsibility for more than 1,000,000 deaths..😥😥😥.

15)The extraordinary ambition was made more urgent once the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) was set up in late 1994,..

16)We kinkly thank President Kagame with an entirely&collaborated team to make Rwanda shine to it's apex and climax level of today heading to 2050 as a shining country.
