Statistics, damn lies and the truth about Rwanda genocide

The real Rwanda genocide story has no Canadian heroes.

Canadian commentators often claim more Tutsi were killed in the genocide than lived in Rwanda. Since it aligns with Washington, London and Kigali’s interests, as well as liberal nationalist Canadian ideology, the statistical inflation passes with little comment.

A Tyee story last month described the “slaughter of over 800,000 Tutsis in Rwanda” between April and July 1994. An earlier Globe and Mail profile of Roméo Dallaire cited a higher number. It noted, “over the next few months, Hutu activists and militias, supplemented by police officers and military commanders, killed an estimated 800,000 to 1 million Tutsis.”

Even self-declared experts on the subject cite these outlandish statistics. In the Globe and Mail and rabble last year Gerald Caplan wrote that, “despite his [Dallaire] best efforts, perhaps a million people of the Tutsi minority were slaughtered in 100 days.” With ties to the regime in Kigali, Caplan pulled this number out of thin air. It’s improbable there were a million Tutsi in Rwanda in 1994 and no one believes every single Tutsi was killed.

While the exact figure is unknown and somewhat contested, Rwanda’s 1991 Census calculated 596,387 Tutsi. Initially sponsored by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, the GenoDynamics project by the Dean of the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy at the University of Virginia Allan Stam and University of Michigan political science professor Christian Davenport put the number slightly lower at 500,000. Others claim the Hutu-government of the time sought to suppress Tutsi population statistics and estimate a few hundred thousand more Rwandan Tutsi.

But, a significant number of Tutsi survived the hundred days of killing. Tutsi survivors’ umbrella group IBUKA (“Remember”) initially concluded that 300,000 survived the genocidal killings, which they later increased to “nearer to 400,000.”

For 800,000 to 1 million Tutsi to have perished there would have had to been at least 1.1 million and probably closer to 1.4 million Tutsi. That’s twice the official calculation.

Notwithstanding the three examples mentioned at the top, the most commonly cited formulation of the number of deaths in 1994 is the more vague “800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu.” A 1999 UN report concluded, “approximately 800,000persons were killed during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.” As time passes, however, the regime in Kigali increases the death toll. In 2004 the Rwandan Ministry of Local Government, Community Development and Social Affairs claimed 1,074,017 died and in 2008 the government-backed Genocide Survivors Students Association of Rwanda put the number at 1,952,087.

But, the higher the death toll one cites for the genocidal violence the greater the number and percentage of Hutu victims. In the 2014 BBC documentary Rwanda’s Untold Story Stam explains, “if a million people died in Rwanda in 1994 — and that’s certainly possible — there is no way that the majority of them could be Tutsi…Because there weren’t enough Tutsi in the country.”

The idea there was as many, or even more, Hutu killed complicates the “long planned genocide” narrative pushed by the regime in Kigali and its Anglo-Saxon backers. So does the fact that overwhelming evidence and logic points to the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) as culprits for blowing up the plane of the Hutu presidents of Rwanda and Burundi, as well as much of the Hutu-led Rwandan military command, which sparked the mass killings.

Washington and London’s support for the RPF, as well as Paul Kagame’s more than two-decade long control of Kigali, explains the dominance of a highly simplistic account of Rwanda’s genocide. But, a tertiary reason for the strength of the fairy tale is it aligns with the nationalist mythology of another G7 state. A wealthy, educated, population speaking the world’s two main colonial languages, Canadians have pumped out innumerable articles, books, songs, plays, poems, movies, etc. about our noble General’s effort to save Rwandans. Yet the Romeo Dallaire saviour story largely promoted by Left/liberals is based on a one-sided account of Rwanda’s tragedy.

Two of the articles mentioned at the top celebrate Dallaire. One of the stories that inflates the Tutsi death toll was a Globe and Mail profile upon the former general’s retirement from the Senate and in the other Caplan writes, “the personalrelationship so many Canadians feel with Rwanda can be explained in two words: Roméo Dallaire…[who] did all in his limited power to stop the killings.”

A Monthly Review article I discovered recently provides a stark example of how Left Canadian nationalists have warped understanding of Rwanda’s tragedy to fit their ideology. The third paragraph of the venerable New York-based Marxist journal’s 2003 review of When Victims Become Killers: Colonialism, Nativism, and the Genocide in Rwanda and A People Betrayed: The Role of the West in Rwanda’s Genocide begins: “A Canadian, General Roméo Dallaire, is the hero of the Rwandan tragedy.”

Canadian reviewer Hugh Lukin Robinson’s main criticism of Ugandan scholar Mahmood Mamdani’s When Victims Become Killers is that he downplays the importance of the Canadian commander of the UN military force. Robinson writes, “[Mamdani’s] disinterest in the international betrayal of Rwanda is illustrated by his single reference to General Dallaire, whose name he misspells and whom he refers to as ‘the Belgian commander in charge of UN forces in Rwanda.’ In contrast, Linda Melvern marshals the evidence which amply justifies the title of her book.”

But, Melvern is a leading advocate of the Kigali sponsored fairy tale about the genocide. Drawing on Dallaire’s purported “genocide fax,” she promotes the “long planned genocide” narrative. Simultaneously, Melvern ignores (or downplays) the role Uganda’s 1990 invasion, structural adjustment policies and the October 1993 assassination of the first ever Hutu president in Burundi played in the mass killing of Spring 1994. Melvern also diminishes RPF killings and their responsibility for shooting down the plane carrying Hutu President Juvénal Habyarimana and the Rwandan military high command.

Robinson was impressed with Melvern’s praise for Canada’s military man. “Dallaire had trained and risen through the ranks of an army proud of its tradition of peacekeeping,” Robinson quotes from Melvern’s writing. “He was a committed internationalist and had first hand experience of UN missions. He was a hard worker. And he was obstinate.” But, the “committed internationalist” admits he didn’t know where Rwanda was before his appointment to that country. Nor did Dallaire have much experience with the UN. “Dallaire was what military people call a NATO man,” explained CBC journalist Carole Off in a biography of the General. “His defence knowledge was predicated almost exclusively on the needs of the NATO alliance.”

More significantly, a number of the UN officials involved in Rwanda — head of UNAMIR troops in Kigali Luc Marchal, intelligence officer Amadou Deme, UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, etc. — have challenged Dallaire’s interpretation of events, contradicted his claims or criticized his actions. Dallaire’s civilian commander on UNAMIR published a book accusing the Canadian General of bias towards the Uganda/US/Britain backed RPF. In his 2005 book Le Patron de Dallaire Parle (The Boss of Dallaire Speaks), Jacques-Roger Booh Booh, a former Cameroon foreign minister and overall head of UNAMIR, criticizes Dallaire’s actions in Rwanda and challenges his interpretation of events.

In one of two footnotes Robinson ended his Monthly Review article on a Canadian nationalist note. The former labour researcher writes: “There is another account of the Rwanda tragedy for which two Canadians can take a great deal of credit. In 1997, the Organization for African Unity (OAU) appointed an International Panel of Eminent Persons to report on what had happened. Stephen Lewis was a member of the Panel and Gerald Caplan was its principal writer and author of the report, Rwanda –The Preventable Genocide. It confirms all the main facts and conclusions of Linda Melvern’s book.”

While paying lip service to the complex interplay of ethnic, class and regional politics, as well as international pressures, that spurred the “Rwandan Genocide,” the 300-page report is premised on the unsubstantiated claim their was a high level plan by the Hutu government to kill all Tutsi. It ignores the overwhelming evidence (and logic) pointing to Paul Kagame’s RPF as the culprit in shooting down the presidential plane, which sparked the genocidal killings. It also emphasizes Dallaire’s perspective. A word search of the report finds 100 mentions of “Dallaire,” five times more than “Booh-Booh,” the overall commander of the UN mission.

Rather than a compelling overview of the Rwandan tragedy, the OAU report highlights Canada’s power within international bodies. In a Walrus story Caplan described, “waiting for the flight back to Toronto, where I would do all my reading and writing” on a report “I called…’The Preventable Genocide.'” Partly funded by Canada, the entire initiative was instigated by US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

Caplan is a staunch advocate of the noble Canadian general story. In 2017 Caplan, who started an organization with Kagame’s long-standing foreign minister, Louise Mushikiwabo, called Dallaire “surely among Canada’s most admired citizens, if not the most admired.”

Praise for Dallaire’s role in Rwanda is based on a highly simplistic account of what transpired in 1994. In their haste to promote a Canadian saviour in Africa, left/liberals have confused international understanding of the Rwandan tragedy, which has propped up Kagame’s dictatorship and enabled his violence in the Congo.

When commentators are claiming more Tutsi were killed than lived in the country it’s time to revaluate popular discussion of Rwanda’s tragedy.
 
He even wrote a small article about it:

I'm sold.

Because one thing Canada needs more than anything during the throes of it's own self-inflicted genocide is a rehashing of the Rwandan genocide and other controlled-opposition activism pieces to rule the national dialogue. Shouted by some privledged twat putting on a shoah like he has a tinyhat of his own.

In the end, what I like about Jagmeet is someone that hypocritical and disgusting held the mirror up to the national identity and showed what Canada is truly about: "Every man for himself." Canadians, really did not like that. So they went with the WEF banker diddler whose biggest move so far is to make sure every Canadian can get drafted to go to die in Ukraine so he can take kickbacks from EU energy and military interests and so far the only part of the economy that isn't currently failing, is the cover-up.
 
Knew I was probably going out on a limb, but it's the farms and you never know.
Sounds like a 'local psycho' attack. There's a listing for a restaurant that sells 'homemade naan' and pizza but I can't actually see the place on Google Earth, the address just shows a house. Possible rapejeet presence, but I'm still going with local teen that probably should've been bullied harder.

I call that area of Ontario the Forgotten Triangle because it's between Hwy 17, 401 and 11 and you don't hear too much about it except when something like this happens. The towns are all old logging outposts dating way back to the colonial period.

'Jeet, or well-off yuppie troon I figure. Still holding out hope someone who's involved in the case leaks some info somewhere, but I have my doubts it will, especially if the attack was done by one of the government's pet minorities.

Dude, anything outside of the GTA is "forgotten ontario" at this point lmfao
 
You know, not all boomers are normies . I had an Asian guest visit my home, and my parents starts redpilling her about Indians and Jews. Honestly didn't expect that. Maybe not the most appropriate time to bring that up on the dinner table, but BASED regardless.
You should hang out with more real Asians. They'll tell you EXACTLY which neighborhoods to avoid. You should see Chinese social media and real estate guides. They have sites to find an apartment in Mandarin so they can legally exclude undesirable tenants from consideration. They use racial profiling to decide on school districts. There's an entire turf war in academia between jeets and chinks. Both sides will try to stack their deck with the other races as filler cards to avoid touching the other side. Blacks are naturally assumed to be retarded and violent. Whites are treated like idiot golden retrievers that you have to carefully prevent from getting themselves wiped out by jeets (are they wrong???).

Honestly do you blame them. I'd rather live in chink district than Jeet.
 
Aw man my racism is accidentally leaking out more than I know, my kid started telling me how happy he is that our town has all white kids, except for a few, and then starts listing the “browns” and I’m not sure what to do. He actually likes the Algerian kid, who is sweet, but I have no idea how his parents ended up on a little farm in the middle of the Canadian prairies. Terrorists I assume. Just kidding, I think the dad works in the oil patch. Still. I’m not sure how to let him know not to show his levels.
 
I was watching CP24 today and saw that Toronto Mayor Oliva Chow was at some huge Muslim event in Mississauga. I looked for an article but found nothing. However, I do remember that she was wearing a hijab... despite not being Muslim. :story:

I swear to fucking God, Rob was more sane than her. At least he didn't larp as a terrorist and bring a bunch of shitty people into Toronto!
 
I know this thread has been largely a place for Candians to vent.

However I do appreciate how you have all entertained by Yankee Doodle ass. So now I will vent too.

My ancestors landed on the Hector as Americans from Scotland in Pictou, Nova Scotia. I was taught this as a child.

I'm just a retard on the internet, but I will scream my autism into the void that the Canadians are Americans, and we have a duty as Americans to preserve the honor and dignity of our countrymen. Maybe not in my life, but let these words be written in iron and maybe echoed in time.

Canadians were born of the land of North America. They are Americans. The land of America belongs to the Americans, and we who are born of this land we love shall rise to the defense of our land. A land that is not determined by borders drawn in entirely different continents. We are Conquerors, Christians and the fruit of Europe. Our roots dug into the soil of North America and it is our land.
 
It is freaking hilarious to see how the anti-racists have generated unprecedented racism in Canada through their accelerationist policies. Everyone knows the the frog in a boiling pot metaphor, the left have undertaken a generational project to conditioning the old European-stock into self-loathing simpletons with said personality of a golden retriever. It's insidious, really, yet they couldn't help but not only put their foot on the gas when the East elected Justin Trudeau, but pushed it through the floor. What we have is a comically inept bureaucratic state where the apparatchiks believe that writing memos/policy and holding press conferences generate instant results. As for establishment Conservatives like Poilievre? Their greatest delusion is that they can reform the system. While conservatives were to act as an emergency brake against radicalism in the past, those brakes are gone and the train is moments away from jumping the tracks. For all their bravado, the federal government is pathetically weak. Ottawa could not hold this country together and provinces can just break off because they have depended on the United States for protection and guess who they pissed off with their fecklessness.

It would almost be a tragedy if it weren't such a comedy of errors.
