Yolande Mukagasana sur la qn du plaisir de tuer: « le Tutsi n’était plus un humain et la personne déshumaniser devient facile à tuer. »
« Une masse échauffer tue avec plaisir, les rdais etaient conditionner à tuer » rajoute Antoine Mugesera
« Nous avns raté notre sortie au colonialisme qui a changé les mentalités des rdais et les a divisé , l’exclusion s’est institutionnalisé et le racisme a engendré l’ethnisme.... ce qui a conduit plutard au Genocide contre les Tutsi » - Antoine Mugesera #RwandaAfter25#Kwibuka25
« J’étais révolté qu’il fallait que j’arrive à ecrire. Pour parler de ce que les français avaient fait ici et lutter contre la désinformation sur ce qui s était passé. C’est un combat que je mène toujours » raconte Mme Yolande Mukagasana #RwandaAfter25#kwibuka25
I wrote because: first i was shocked by what happened in 1994, also in 2004 they was no book telling the truth about what happened. But i was mostly urged to write to transmit the memory about what i witnessed in 1994 @jpkimonyo#RwandaAfter25#kwibuka25
« They use to say that Rwandans don’t write but that don’t define us anymore, we have many young people who write and tell their stories, I salute that » @jpkimonyo#RwandaAfter25#Kwibuka25
