In the Media and Popular Culture section, add at the end that Stromae made a song called, "Papaoutai", that talks about his father. IHateMarioKart123 (talk) 22:18, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Foreign reporters

Many foreign reporters were in Rwanda during the genocide, 15, 20, maybe 30. They often moved around the country, with UN convoys for example, but sometimes quite alone, they interviewed the head of Interahamwe. This was all possible because the status of the press was still different than today, they were white and not targeted, they were tolerated by the Hutu government. None died there.

its time to change that to the 1994 genocide against the tutsi

UN and UNESCO had almost make move to call it right: the 1994 genocide against the tutsi in rwanda, so let not wikipedia be miss lead Reacher, and regular users. on this by Rwanda genocide

The opening paragraphs are a nothingburger.

People that just want to read a summary and not the whole article don't really get any information from the opening summary paragraphs tbh. Like it's pretty much just: This was a genocide between two ethnic groups, 600k died.

Great. I already knew it was a genocide.

Many Wikipedia articles suffer from this problem tbh. Alexysun (talk) 00:23, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

Description by prefecture?

"Rwanda was divided into 11 prefectures and 145 communes in 1994." Just an idea, but because this genocide is increasingly compared to the Holocaust, studied by Holocaust centers, maybe it could be described for each prefecture (in separate subarticles?).

Ridiculous editorialization

“maintained the Rwandan tradition of obedience to authority, carried out the orders without question.”

I call bullshit. Tradition of blind obedience?! Oh it’s my culture to fucking jump off a cliff if my master commands it. Yeah fucking right. 50.171.30.102 (talk) 08:38, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

:I agree this sounds concerning. I'll have to access the cited book to see what it really says. Ca ^{talk to me!} 14:30, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

:I rephrased it to be more in line with what the book actually says. Ca ^{talk to me!} 13:17, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
