But the violence continues today as supporters of the racist ideology of Hutu power continue to undermine the established version of events, through systematic denial, propaganda and fake news. This campaign seeks to minimize what occurred and blame the victims for their fate. The genocide denial continues to spread and is promoted by media, academics, lawyers and politicians 0In this searing account of the aftermath of the genocide, investigative journalist Linda Melvern exposes systematic attempts to falsify the historical record. This includes a campaign by French military officers, implicated in events, to lay the blame on volunteer peacekeepers in the UN military operation. It includes true story behind the owner of Hotel Rwanda, Paul Rusesabagina, and his links with the killers. It reveals the number of genocidaires at large, and the priest killers protected by the Vatican. The excessive secrecy and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts by Western governments serves Hutu Power in its campaign of new spin. 'Intent to Deceive' is a chilling, thoroughly investigated expose of how politicians continue to use the crime for their own ends, long after the killing has ceased. 650 0 $a Genocide $z Rwanda $x History $y 20th century. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020436.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A3106C48FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
