Curiously, the events of the Rwanda genocide are not tought, not even mentioned, in history classes in Belgium. Wouter Lievens 12:38, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Confusing paragraph

Can someone make sense of this paragraph at the end of the US section? I can't get through the syntax, let alone the meaning:

"These elements of inaction tempered the information according to which the United States would have armed the FPR of Paul Kagame. If it is undeniable that Paul Kagame followed the military training of the United States in his capacity as an Ugandan officer, it is probable that he would have benefited from anglo-saxon aid via Uganda, this endorsement does not appear to be as large or determined as that that was received from the outside of those who he fought: the army of the regime of President Habyarimana and then the interim government which led the genocide." --Jd147703 15:10, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

The above appears to be a translation of a French text. It would be my impression that, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, that this is a straight copy of another text. The use of the phrase 'anglo-saxon aid' also fails NPOV. Khavakoz 12:39, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

This article is simply totally "Franco Afrique" biased, it does not reflect the true role of the countries mentioned, and deserves no place here. Calling the RPF the FPR is a clear indication of a translation from French government documents. No one who knows anything about Rwanda, would disclaim that the French Government under Mitterand, actively supported the RGF government that committed genocide, before during and afterwards.

To that end this input needs to be removed. It's an insult to to 800,000 people the west weren't interested in, whose bodies filled the rivers, streets and banks. Left to die because of the fear from the west of another Black Hawk Down... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nighthawkx15 (talk • contribs) 8 April 2007

Agreed. For such a contraversial topic, this article is curiously devoid of any references. I have conacted the original translator, PZFUN, to ask if he can tell us which French text he translated from - or rather where it came from, since he actually c&p'd the French in to the article, so the French source text is the first thing in the article's history.
