Description
An expose of the US and UK role in the cover-up of US/UK ally Paul Kagame and his RPF forces in the assassination of the two presidents that triggered the Rwanda Genocide.
The publication of The Accidental Genocide is especially relevant, given that 2014 is the 20th anniversary year of the Rwandan genocide. This book includes much of the evidence put into the ICTR record by IHLI Director Prof. Peter Erlinder, which resulted in ALL military and civilian leadership of former Rwandan government being acquitted by the UN International Rwanda Tribunal of long-term planning and conspiracy to commit genocide.Â
Prof. Erlinder was imprisoned by the Kagame regime in Rwanda in 2010 as an "enemy of the state" while representing Rwandan Presidential candidate Victoire Ingabire, who has been a Kagame prisoner there since 2010. Charges were based solely on writing about the acquittals of the former government leaders on charges of conspiracy and planning to commit genocide, not on any acts committed in Rwanda. The UN eventually upheld his immunity from prosecution.
The Accidental Genocide presents original UN and USG documents that chronicle the creation of the RPF by the Pentagon in 1991-93, and the cover-up of RPF crimes by the Clinton State Department, using the ICTR, as early as September 1994. The documents featured in the book are taken directly from suppressed original UN and USG files, with maps and connecting narrative.Â
