RTLM

1.

Today at 9:10,
the RTLM journalist Gahigi Gaspard,
commenting on the French intervention in Rwanda and
misunderstanding between French and the interahamwe in
Kibuye, asked the Government to brief the youth so as to t'j:;-know how to behave when the French will arrive in Kigali .
He blamed the Rwandese au -horities for their carelessnes s,
for he heard the • French Commanding Officer in . Gisenyi
declaring that he had asked the interahamwe why they were
guarding road-blocks and for him, this is unfair for the
Government: the interlocutor of the French should not in
any case be a simple peasant at a road-block. Yet he r
thanked the French officer for having opted for a way of t
talk with the people at road-blocks.

2.

He also reported that some foreign journalists supporting
the inyenzi wanted the French soldiers to crash with the
Interahamwe while lying that some hutu extremists were
against the French intervention in Kibuye and Cyangugu.

3.

~
trongly criticized the BBC correspondent in Cyangugu
who guessed in his report, -only by --iooking at t h e bl ood
marks on the soil of thecourtyard of Domimican nuns house,
that a lot of tutsi were butchered. The RTLM journalist
wondered how a mere look at marks might determine the
identity of the victims. He reminded that he has always
been asking people who really liked this country to forget
about the past and to forget, if they really needed
reconciliation of the Rwandese population. He also warned /
the French to do the humanitarian action they have come for ~
without bringing back to the Rwandese memory the misdeeds
of the past. He at the same time urged the Rwandese
government to approach the French and ask them to come soon j~
to Kigali to see how the inyenzi shell onto civilians at
the market and to the RPF held zones to investigate on the
massacres of hutu majority. He invited the French to come
and see by themselves their true enemies in the RPF held
zones.

4.

Habimana Kantano, another journalist of the same radio,
commenting on fights of Kigali Mount affirmed that there
had been three serious attacks but every time the inyenzi
were defeated. He also informed that last night Rebero was
burned by the RPF as a sign of defeat, for they did not
want to let the interahamwe feast at Rebero Hotel. He
explained that it was not on Kigali Mount as ignorant
journalists tended to affirm.

5.

He said that the inyenzi had convinced UNAMIR that they
were going to take power within three days and would let
UNAMIR come back to II eat their dollars 11 ; that was the
reason why UNAMIR had stayed in Nairobi, Kampala and
Bujumbura . He went on stating that when they [UNAMIR]
realized that it was impossible for the inyenzi to get
power and that the French initiated the Humanitarian
intervention, the UNATIONS found a way to redeem their
faces and accepted to cover the French intervention

t

�thinking the French would plead for forgiveness in favour /
of the UNATIONS.
4.

The journalist ridiculed the Burundese tutsi for having
demonstrated against the French intervention and warned !
them to wait for the hutu majority to finish up with the
inkotanyi and said they were going to prove them that how ~
the arrogance of tutsi would be uprooted once for ever in
both Rwanda and Burundi. As for the embargo, he said that 1
it was impossible to hinder a country to buy weapons, for \f
it has friends and they might even enter illegal and
secretly.
