    Extractions: Welcome to the Land of Silly Names Main I watched last night's Frontline report, Ghosts of Rwanda . Frontline has dealt with Rwanda in depth over the past 10 years, but this show concentrated pretty much on US/UN reaction (or rather, lack thereof) and on Westerners who helped. This had the unfortunate effect of making the two-hour program not very illuminating to people who are becoming more conscious of what happened due to the added publicity over the 10th anniversary. This is disappointing, because one of the things people need to learn is how Rwandan society was, in the space of about three years, essentially groomed for genocide by its leaders. (There were, of course, historical conditions that contributed, but the real changes started to happen in 1990 or so.) For instance, Frontline mentioned "Rwanda's culture of obedience" but did not elaborate; the hate-radio station RTLM was briefly alluded to but the show should have gone into more depth to explain; and needless to say, an interview with one surviving Tutsi and one Hutu just doesn't communicate the whole picture. An excellent resource on the how and why of the leadup to genocide is Leave None to Tell the Story from Human Rights Watch. (Does reading about the innocent popularity of RTLM not leave bloggers with a certain chill?)

    Extractions: "In this first English-language analysis of the Rwandan genocide, Prunier speaks from the unique persective of a knowledgeable but critical insider who is familiar with both the French establishment and the Rwandan Patriotic Front. In a lively and engaging voice, he offers the reader information unlikely to be found elsewhere." The Boston Book Review In the spring of 1994 the tiny African nation of Rwanda exploded onto the international media stage, as internal strife reached genocidal proportions. But the horror that unfolded before our eyes had been building steadily for years before it captured the attention of the world. In The Rwanda Crisis The Rwanda Crisis Expertly leading readers on a journey through the troubled history of the country and its surroundings, Prunier moves from the pre-colonial Kingdom of Rwanda, though German and Belgian colonial regimes, to the 1973 coup. The book chronicles the developing refugee crisis in Rwanda and neighboring Uganda in the 1970s and 1980s and offers the most comprehensive account available of the manipulations of popular sentiment that led to the genocide and the events that have followed. In the aftermath of this devastating tragedy

Finally, they took photographs of at least one other Iraqi who had, apparently, been beaten to death. Those responsible did not commit these acts because they were Americans, although some will surely say so. But nor did being American stop them. Reach Ms. Applebaum at applebaumanne@washpost.com

    Extractions: Kigali (Rwanda), 20-22 June 2001 The seminar was held in Kigali, on the premises of the National Assembly, on "The Process of Engendering a New Constitution for Rwanda" for Rwandan MPs, representatives from the PRO-FEMMES TWESE HAMWE Rwandan women’s associations, and delegations from the President's Office, the Primate's Office, the Government, the Supreme Court, the Legal and Constitutional Committee and other national committees, international bodies in Kigali and other partners of the Forum of Rwandan Women Parliamentarians (FFRP). Parliamentary delegations from Burundi, South Africa and Tanzania were also present, and their comments and experience with regard to engendering the Constitution and other laws were very enriching. The seminar was organised by the National Assembly and the Forum of Rwandan Women MPs (FFRP), in cooperation with the Inter-Parliamentary Union and the United Nations Development Programme. During the three-day event, participants didiscussed the following main topics: functioning of the Legal and Constitutional Committee in Rwanda and progress report on the proceedings; integrating gender policy in the Constitution; the inclusion of principles of gender equality and women’s human rights for a gender-sensitive Constitution; a comparative study of issues linked to the elaboration of a new Constitution; the Constitution and the law; elaboration of laws, including that of the national budget, which take gender issues into consideration; women’s access to decision-making; persuading the Government to take more account of women’s needs, and gender integration strategies in the Poverty Reduction Programme.

    Extractions: WASHINGTON A few years ago, a scholarly book with the provocative title Hitler's Willing Executioners climbed to the top of U.S. best-seller lists. In part the book attracted attention because its author located the origins of the Nazi death camps in the German national character, in German history and in the specific nature of German anti-Semitism. What happened in Germany, he implied, could never happen anywhere else. Certainly it could never happen here. The argument that torture or mass murder could have happened only in a particular culture has deep appeal: No wonder it has been made so many times, about so many cultures. During any conversation about the Soviet Union, someone will eventually claim that Soviet totalitarianism derived from ancient Russian traditions of czar-worship. Many people also assume, even if they don't say so, that the mass slaughter in Rwanda would not have happened in a less primitive, more "civilized" place.
