Kangangamashumi amabini eminyaka, abantu abaphezulu baseNtshona baye babhala ibali lendlela uzwilakhe waseRwanda uPaul Kagame awaluphelisa ngayo ubuqhawe ngo-1994 kwelo lizwe. Eli bali liqhubekile nangona ubungqina obuninzi bubonisa ukuba iRwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) kaKagame iye yabulala abantu abaninzi kwaye yenza ubundlobongela obungaqhelekanga kwiCongo eselumelwaneni ukusukela oko yahlasela eli lizwe kungekudala emva kokuhlutha igunya.
Usasazo lwe-BBC lwamva nje lwe "Rwanda: Ibali elingachazwanga" libonisa ukuba inyani malunga neKagame inokuthi ekugqibeleni ingene kwindawo eqhelekileyo. I-“Rwanda: Ibali Elingachazwanga” inikela inkcazelo eninzi ephikisana nengxelo esemthethweni, ngokukodwa ukuba ukwanda okumangalisayo kogonyamelo akuzange kuqale ngoAprili 1994 kodwa ngo-Oktobha 1990 xa iRPF yahlasela isuka kwinkampu yayo yaseUganda; ukuba imikhosi yeRPF yabulala amashumi amawaka abantu kwisithuba seenyanga ezingama-42 ukususela kuhlaselo ukuya kutsho kuAprili 1994; nokuba iRPF inoxanduva lokufa kwamakhulu aliqela amawaka abantu baseRwanda ebudeni beenyanga ezintathu zophalazo-gazi ngowe-1994.
Ngokwahlukileyo koko, abajikelezi bebali elithi "Kagame the Hero" babeke lonke uxanduva kurhulumente olawulwa ngamaHutu kunye namahlokondiba axhobileyo angamaHutu. Uhlaselo lwe-RPF luka-1990, okwangoku, lubhalwe ngokupheleleyo ngaphandle kwembali kwingxelo esemthethweni, njengoko inoxanduva lwe-RPF lokudutyulwa kwenqwelomoya eyayithwele umongameli waseRwanda uJuvenal Habyarimana. Kwangoko emva kokubulawa kukaHabyarimana apho kwaqala khona into eyaziwa ngokuba yi-Genocide yaseRwanda.
Enye inxalenye yengxelo esemthethweni eyavezwa kudala ngu-Edward Herman, uRobin Philpot, kunye nabanye kukuba i-US ayizange yenze ngokwaneleyo ukunqanda ukubulala. Ngapha koko, uKagame wayelilungu lasebukhosini kwangeminyaka yoo-1980 owayeqeqeshelwa eFort Leavenworth kwaye i-US yayisebenzisana ngokusondeleyo ne-RPF nangaphambi kohlaselo luka-1990. Kuyo yonke intwasahlobo ka-1994, ulawulo lukaClinton lwaluthintela i-UN ekuthatheni amanyathelo anokuthi athintele uninzi lokubulala. Owayesakuba nguNobhala-Jikelele weZizwe Ezimanyeneyo uBoutros Boutros-Ghali, okokuqala, ubekek’ ityala ngoko kwenzeka eRwanda ngeminyaka yee-1990 eUnited States.
Ukongeza, ngelixa urhulumente waseRwanda kunye neFransi, ihlakani lakhe eliphambili, lixhasa inyathelo lamazwe ngamazwe lokuyeka ukubulala, uKagame wayezimisele ukuthatha ulawulo olupheleleyo lwelizwe kangangokuba wayeka ukuyekisa umlilo kunye nothethathethwano. Isigqibo esingenakuphepheka sesokuba ukusweleka okunyukayo kumacala omabini kwamkelekile kuKagame kwaye, ukongezelela, i-US, okoko nje isiphumo ibiluloyiso olupheleleyo kunye nokunyuka kwe-RPF emandleni.
Kwasekuqaleni, amaHutu namaTutsi awasindayo, amagosa eZizwe Ezimanyeneyo, nabaphandi abaninzi baye banikela ingxelo eyahluke ngokupheleleyo yeziganeko. Loo mabali, aye omelezwa luhlolisiso lwabantu kunye nezinye iindlela, atyhila ukuba omabini amacala anetyala lokubulala amakhulu amawaka. La mazwi aphikisayo akahoywanga kwaye, kwimeko yezifundo ezininzi ngamaqela amalungelo oluntu kunye ne-UN, acinezelwe - ubuncinci de kwasasazwa "iRwanda: Ibali elingachazwanga."
Abenzi bobubi kunye nabaxhasi bobukhosi, abangazange babone ulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe yase-US abangaluthandiyo, baye bahlasela abagxeki bebali elisemthethweni kunye ne-obfuscated ngubani ozuza ngokwenene kwimfazwe eqhubekayo. Liqhinga elicocekileyo elenziwa rhoqo: batyhola ngobuxoki abachasi ngokukhanyela ubugwenxa kwaye bakhanyele ubugwenxa bobukhosi, ngalo lonke ixesha befihla iibhiliyoni zengeniso yeshishini lase-US elenziwe ukuba libekho ngokuhlasela kukaKagame eCongo.
Ukuphangwa kwaseNtshona kulo mmandla kuqale kulawulo lokubulala uKumkani waseBelgium uLeopold II. Kungekudala emva kokuba umbutho wenkululeko waseCongo waphumelela ngo-1960 kunokuba abaphenduli baseCongo kunye nabancedisi babo baseBelgian kunye neCIA babhukuqa kwaye ekugqibeleni babulala uPatrice Lumumba, inkulumbuso yokuqala eyonyuliweyo yesizwe. Ekugqibeleni kwafakwa endaweni kaLumumba yayinopopi wase-US uMobutu Sese Seko, owathi iminyaka engama-30 wakhonza ishishini lase-US ngenzondelelo njengoKagame. Uthotho lwabalawuli baseMelika baye bancoma uMobutu njengendoda enkulu. UClintons, uMadeline Albright, uGeorge W. Bush, uSamantha Power kunye noSusan Rice bonke bancoma uKagame “njengendoda ephelise imbubhiso yaseRwanda.” Ungaze ucinge ngezigidi zabantu baseCongo ababuleweyo okanye ababulawa yindlala, izifo kunye nezinye izizathu ezilandelelwe ngqo kuhlaselo lukaKagame.
Ukutyhilwa kwebali elisemthethweni laseRwanda kunefuthe lehlabathi, njengoko i-US icele "ukuthintela enye iRwanda" ukuthethelela uhlaselo lwaseYugoslavia yangaphambili, iLibya kunye nemimandla emikhulu yoMbindi Mpuma. Njengoko inani labemi liya likhwankqiswa ziimfazwe ezingapheliyo zobundlobongela, isibakala sokuba isiseko sezo zenzo bubuxoki obukhulu sisisondeza kumhla apho sinokuphelisa ngonaphakade amabhongo obukhosi kunye nemfazwe.
