Kwibuka Podcast

As the massacres continued in government controlled areas, children of mixed-ethnicity families born to Tutsi fathers, were rounded up and put into a home guarded by Interahamwe militia, only to be massacred on 8 June 1994. Mothers who tried to protect their children were also killed. Today’s episode also describes meetings held between 9-10 June 1994 attended by top government officials, discussing exactly what was necessary to expedite the killings of the surviving Tutsis across the country.  On Friday, 10 June 1994, Interahamwe militia burst into the St. Charles Lwanga Catholic Parish in Nyamirambo under the guise of “evacuating” orphans, instead, 400 Tutsi refugees were murdered at the Parish, many of them children.

L'épisode d'aujourd'hui du Podcast Kwibuka décrit les événements de 5 et 6 juin 1994, lorsque le premier ministre Jean Kambanda a rencontré des chefs militaires pour intensifier la lutte et augmenter le nombre de jeunes formés au service militaire. La réunion a adopté deux résolutions clés : continuer à combattre les forces du FPR Inkotanyi et continuer à se concentrer sur le génocide contre les Tutsis. Le 6 juin 1994, des représentants du gouvernement génocidaire ont assisté à une réunion des ministres des Affaires étrangères de l’OUA en Tunisie, et ont tenté de trouver un moyen de restaurer l'image du gouvernement au niveau internationale.

Today’s Kwibuka Podcast covers 5-6 June 1994 when Prime Minister Jean Kambanda met with all army and gendarmery chiefs to strengthen war efforts and increase military training for youth, equipping them with weapons. This meeting focused on two key issues, the first, making sure the government forces did not lose the battle to the RPF Inkotanyi forces, second, how to ensure the Genocide against the Tutsi could continue and be accelerated as much as possible. On 6 June 1994, representatives of the genocidal government attended a meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the African Union in Tunisia, during which they made attempts to restore their government’s image on the international scene.

Dans l'épisode d'aujourd'hui du Podcast Kwibuka, des dirigeants et des tueurs des quartiers de Kabgayi se sont rendus là où de nombreux Tutsis s’étaient réfugiés, avec des listes des Tutsis qui devaient être tués. Cela s'est produit du début avril à juin lorsque les forces de l'APR ont libéré Kabgayi. Au cours des premières semaines de juin 1994, l'ancien Premier ministre, Kambanda, a appelé Pauline Nyiramasuhuko pour redoubler d'efforts dans le soi-disant programme de l’aut- défense civile, en augmentant le nombre d'Interahamwe.

Today’s Kwibuka Podcast episode describes how authorities and killers from neighboring districts and sectors would come to Kabgayi, where a large number of Tutsis had fled for refuge, with lists of names of Tutsis who would be taken away to be murdered elsewhere. This occurred from early April until the beginning of June when RPA captured the Kabgayi refugee camps. During the first week of June 1994 Prime Minister Kambanda tasked Minister Pauline Nyiramasuhuko with strengthening the “civilian self-defense” program by increasing Interahamwe militia from each commune.

Both Tutsis and Hutus who opposed the genocidal government had taken refuge at Hotel Des Mille Collines since April 1994. When the government armed forces were deterred from their planned attacks on the hotel from 2 May by the French government, negotiations began with the RPF forces in order to relocate these refugees to RPF controlled zones. Unfortunately, the government soldiers and Interahamwe militia disregarded the agreement and set up roadblocks and attacked Tutsis being transported in UNAMIR trucks.
