Génocide des Tutsi au Rwanda : émergence d'un négationnisme
Ternon relates, how in a relatively short span of time, a narrative was elaborated denying the 1994 Tutsi genocide in Rwanda.

Ternon relates, how in a relatively short span of time, a narrative was elaborated denying the 1994 Tutsi genocide in Rwanda. Denial of genocide is always
part and parcel of it; since it tries to refute the death caused by perpetrators. Thus,
denial of genocide perpetuates it and increases its consequences. So is the case
for Rwanda, for the Holocaust and for the Armenian genocide perpetrated in
1915. Moreover, the will to destroy the historical record is also sustained by
ignorance and by prejudice that is recycled, evermore willingly since the subject
is Africa, and one believes one “knows it all” particularly concerning Africa, a
continent that has fallen now-a-days in disrepute. This has given birth to the
ethnic identity groups in Rwanda, (or in other terms, how social problems have
been racialized by colonial powers); this is the origin of an imposture – the
“double genocide” theory, that condemns victims and murderers alike. The name
of such false generalized guilt, brings one to the concept of all-prevading innocence needed in order to bring about a necessary reconciliation. |
