#British #DJ and #presenter #AndyKershaw passed away. He was a huge promoter of music of all kinds and from many countries. He also contributed to the #bbc series #FromOurOwnCorrespondent where he covered topcis such as the #RwandanGenocide and the conflict in #SierraLeone . He was not perfect and faced some problems including a short prison sentence.

Thank you for the music Andy and the more indepth and sensitive stories covering some of the worst aspects of humanity. (...)

TRIGGER WARNING
A civil war slid into the #RwandanGenocide on #ThisDayInHistory in 1994 and lasted more than three months. Foreign troops stood aside & left as #Hutu fighters massacred up to 702,000 #Tutsi, #Twa, & moderate Hutu people, mostly men, and raped up to 500,000 women.
The first shot of the #RwandanGenocide was a double-assassination on #ThisDayInHistory in 1994, when a missile took down the jet carrying the presidents of Rwanda (Juvénal Habyarimana) and Burundi (Cyprien Ntaryamira). Responsibility for the act was never conclusively determined.

A lot of people misunderstand the relationship between the USA and Israel. Israel is the USA's fixer in the region, taking care of the dirty work that would be unpalatable to the American voters.

How Israel helped prop up Rwanda's Hutu regime before the genocide - +972 Magazine

Israel refuses to come clean about its links with the murderous Hutu regime that carried out the genocide in Rwanda 25 years ago. But Foreign Ministry documents show that Israel was aware of the massacres against the Tutsi minority way back in the 1960s — and turned a blind eye.

(2/2) #Sunak expects this to help the Tory election prospects, and he may be right, at least with the most racist Britons. This is how dictator Kagame thanks UK for propping it up (Rwanda is 161st in freedom). And this during the 30th anniversary year of the #RwandanGenocide. 😞
