  • Hotel Rwanda - 1
    Hotel Rwanda - 1 HOTEL RWANDA Hollywood and the Holocaust in Central Africa keith harmon snow Reprinting permitted with proper attribution to: <http://www.allthingspass.com> Text corrected, 1 November 2007 (see note [36-a]). What happened in Rwanda in 1994? The standard line is that a calculated genocide occurred because of deep-seated tribal animosity between the majority Hutu tribe in power and the minority Tutsis. According to this story, at least 500,000 and perhaps 1.2 million Tutsis—and some ‘moderate’ Hutus—were ruthlessly eliminated in a few months, and most of them were killed with machetes. The killers in this story were Hutu hard-liners from the Forces Armees Rwandais, the Hutu army, backed by the more ominous and inhuman civilian militias—the Interahamwe—“those who kill together.” “In three short, cruel months, between April and July 1994,” wrote genocide expert Samantha Power on the 10th anniversary of the genocide, “Rwanda experienced a genocide more efficient than that carried out by the Nazis in World War II. The killers were a varied bunch: drunk extremists chanting ‘Hutu power, Hutu power’; uniformed soldiers and militia men intent on wiping out the Tutsi Inyenzi, or ‘cockroaches’; ordinary villagers who had never themselves contemplated killing before but who decided to join the frenzy.” [1] The award-winning film Hotel Rwanda offers a Hollywood version and the latest depiction of this cataclysm. Is the film accurate? It is billed as a true story. Did genocide occur in Rwanda as it is widely portrayed and universally imagined? With thousands of Hutus fleeing Rwanda in 2005, in fear of the Tutsi government and its now operational village genocide courts, is another reading of events needed? [2] Hotel Rwanda - 2 Is Samantha Power—a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist—telling it straight? [3] Is it possible, as evidence confirms, that the now canonized United Nations peacekeeper Lt.

  • We Are All Rwandans”
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “We are all Rwandans”: Imagining the Post-Genocidal Nation Across Media A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Television by Andrew Phillip Young 2016 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION “We are all Rwandans”: Imagining the Post-Genocidal Nation Across Media by Andrew Phillip Young Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Television University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Chon A. Noriega, Chair There is little doubt of the fundamental impact of the 1994 Rwanda genocide on the country's social structure and cultural production, but the form that these changes have taken remains ignored by contemporary media scholars. Since this time, the need to identify the the particular industrial structure, political economy, and discursive slant of Rwandan “post- genocidal” media has become vital. The Rwandan government has gone to great lengths to construct and promote reconciliatory discourse to maintain order over a country divided along ethnic lines. Such a task, though, relies on far more than the simple state control of media message systems (particularly in the current period of media deregulation). Instead, it requires a more complex engagement with issues of self-censorship, speech law, public/private industrial regulation, national/transnational production/consumption paradigms, and post-traumatic media theory. This project examines the interrelationships between radio, television, newspapers, the ii Internet, and film in the contemporary Rwandan mediascape (which all merge through their relationships with governmental, regulatory, and funding agencies, such as the Rwanda Media High Council - RMHC) to investigate how they endorse national reconciliatory discourse.

He has had no contact with his family, authorized legal counsel, or Belgian diplomats, since Thursday, August 27. The Rwandan Government has not provided proof of life since Monday, August 31, when the authorities in Kigali paraded Mr. Rusesabagina in handcuffs in front of the media. Given these serious human rights violations, and the Rwandan Government’s long-standing prior persecution of Mr. Rusesabagina (described below), he is at immediate and serious risk of torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment. Moreover, it is not clear what conditions Mr. Rusesabagina is being held in or whether he is being provided the daily medication he requires for his heart condition. We respectfully request that, in accordance with your working methods, you investigate the situation and immediately reach out to the Government of Rwanda, urging it to provide proof that Mr.

  • Rusesabagina Combats Fiction with Facts
    www.hrrfoundation.org For Immediate Release Contact: Kitty Kurth October 28, 2010 Phone: 312-617-7288 Email: [email protected] Rusesabagina Combats Fiction with Facts Paul Rusesabagina, Founder and President of the Hotel Rwanda Rusesabagina Foundation issued the following statement: “Today I have been accused in the media by representatives of the Rwandan government of wrongdoing. The accusations come on the heels of physical harassment. While they are baseless, I feel I must respond. The government has said that I sent money to people who I met many years ago but have not seen or spoken with since the Genocide in 1994. I have not sent money to the Commercial Bank of Burundi or Dar es Salaam The last time I sent money to Rwanda was in 2002 or 2003, I think 2002, to my younger brother for a brain operation. It was about 500 or 1000 Euros. Prosecutor Ngoga said that no matter how small the money amount was, it was used for terrorist purposes. I have sent no money to terrorists. On top of everything, no one has ever heard of this alleged terrorist group he accuses me of funding until Victoire’s false arrest in the past few weeks, yet the money he accuses me of sending he says was sent more than a year ago. He is not only lying, but lying with bad logic. I have been been supportive of an open political process in Rwanda. My support for Victoire Ingabire, along with all of the opposition candidates of all parties has been through press releases issued by my Foundation advocating the need for free and fair and open elections without violence or repression of human rights and political freedoms.

  • “East Asian Miracle” in Africa? : a Case Study Analysis of the Rwandan Governance Reform Process Since 2000
    Chasing the “East Asian Miracle” in Africa? : A case study analysis of the Rwandan governance reform process since 2000 Francis Gaudreault A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Public Administration Faculty of Social Sciences School of Political Studies University of Ottawa © Francis Gaudreault, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 To Amandine My better half, literally ii iii Abstract In the last few decades, many governments around the world—especially in emerging economies—have strayed from neoliberal prescriptions to get closer to a model originating from East Asia: the developmental state. These East Asian countries (Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan) instead of just regulating market mechanisms, have exercised strong control over their economies and society through highly-ambitious long-term economic and social development programs implemented in tight partnership with the private sector. Indeed, this phenomenon is worth exploring when we ask the question of how governance and political economy is evolving in the world and what are the new approaches that can inform governments. This Ph.D. thesis focuses on the evolution of strategies for social and economic development and more specifically on the emergence of developmental states in Africa. By looking at the case of Rwanda that is often considered as a success story in Africa, the aim of this thesis is to show how much this state is transforming its institutions in line with a model that resembles the developmental state, but with its specificities and perspective. Based on a large selection of primary sources gathered in Rwanda between 2015 and 2016, we argue that the system of governance of Rwanda has evolved in a different direction than the typical neo-liberal model often advocated by the West and is following a developmentalist approach much closer to some early East Asian developmental states.
