The Power of a Word

From: Rwanda and the New Scramble for Africa

$1.50

In Chapter 3, Philpot discusses how Central Africa has been turned upside down in the pursuit of génocidaires. Philpot examines how with the support of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and other Western nations, the Rwandan Patriotic Front has maintained their hold on power in the region through brutal violence, the bombing of refugee camps in the eastern Congo, forced migration of hundreds of thousands of refugees, and their campaign of terror alongside the Ugandan and Burundian armies, as they invaded the Congo and inflicted a merciless war that has left millions dead.
