And this is fascinating because of the huge part the media played beforehand.

I find today’s MSM to be lethal.

If you can rent or watch Hotel Rwanda it would be easier.

The Belgians separated the rwandans based on facial features into two groups. One group looked more like white people - smaller noses etc - TUTSIS. So they gave them special privileges, better paying jobs, etc.

Then they left Rwanda. The group that had been under-privileged (HUTU) began to revolt. They had a radio station that did most of the work. rtlm.

Widely listened to by the general population, it projected racist propaganda against Tutsis, moderate Hutus, Belgians, and the United Nations mission UNAMIR. It is widely regarded by many Rwandan citizens (a view also shared and expressed by the UN war crimes tribunal) as having played a crucial role in creating the atmosphere of charged racial hostility that allowed the genocide to occur. A study by a Harvard University researcher estimates that 9.9% of the participation in the genocidal violence was due to the broadcasts. The estimate of the study suggests that approximately 51,000 deaths were caused by the station's broadcasts.[2] A working paper published at Harvard University found that RTLM broadcasts were an important part of the process of mobilising the population, which complemented the mandatory Umuganda meetings.
