[edit] Accuracy

It is important to state that the interahamwe et al, were a small minority among the Hutu refugees, that used them to shield themselves. Not every Hutu is a genocidal maniac - which is the general feeling one gets from many of the articles on this era. And the RPF did not invade to end the genocide. At the time the genocide started, the RPF already controled the north of the country (Byumba, Ruhengeri, Muranvia, etc). And they had more than a thousand troops in Kigali itself, headquartered at the Parliament complex. It needs to be clarified.

I reworded the relevant section to take into account that the RPF already had strongholds in the north from which it launched attacks, rather than being based out of Uganda proper. I know that the RPA had more troops in Kigali than the Arusha Accords had allowed, but frankly don't know what role they played in the subsequent displacement.

As for the general comments about tone, I think this article makes it clear that the Hutu refugees were being coerced by the Interahamwe. - BanyanTree 17:52, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
