This issue was present in many discourses, both in Hutu refugee camps and in reports prepared by groups of western “experts” active in the denial of the genocide of the Tutsi.This gradual but systematic elimination of survivors makes one fear the worst.There is also the act of survival which is nearly impossible when one has lost everything —family, home, belongings. Only trauma remains which becomes increasingly heavy to bear, when one realizes the total lack or denial of justice in national courts, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and in foreign courts as well.The risk of extermination of the remaining few cannot, unfortunately, be ruled out in view of inflammatory responses towards the investigation of survivor assassinations.Cairn free access |
