> **Content note.** This page quotes anti-Tutsi slurs ("inyenzi", cockroach), a newspaper cover asking which weapons to use against Tutsi, and radio lines used during the 1994 genocide. They are quoted as evidence, in the words the courts and researchers recorded.

**In one line:** for three and a half years a newspaper, the state radio and then a private radio station told Hutu audiences that Tutsi were about to exterminate them, which is the method a propaganda memo of the period called "accusation in a mirror", and in 1994 the radio read out the names and hiding places of people who were then killed.

![Diagram: Kangura fixes the labels from 1990; Radio Rwanda's false March 1992 communiqué precedes the Bugesera massacre; the Butare 'Note' names accusation in a mirror; RTLM repeats the labels and, after 6 April 1994, broadcasts names and places; courts try the editors, founders and presenters from 2000](https://propagandaarchive.org/case-studies/images/rwanda-rtlm-kangura-diagram.svg)

## What happened

- **May 1990 onward: Kangura.** Hassan Ngeze edits *Kangura* ("wake others up"), a Kinyarwanda and French paper based in Gisenyi. It runs until April 1994.
- **1 October 1990.** The Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), a rebel army formed mainly of Tutsi refugees in Uganda, invades northern Rwanda. The government of President Juvénal Habyarimana and the ruling MRND party frame the war as an attack by Tutsi as a group. Des Forges records the term *inyenzi* (cockroach), first used for Tutsi exile raiders in the 1960s, being applied to the RPF and to Tutsi generally.
- **December 1990: the "Hutu Ten Commandments".** Issue 6 publishes the "Ten Commandments of the Bahutu". The first and fourth declare a "traitor" any Hutu who marries, befriends or employs a Tutsi woman, or who goes into business with Tutsi. The eighth reads: "The Bahutu should stop having mercy on the Batutsi."
- **November 1991: issue 26.** The cover carries the headline "Batutsi bwoko bw'Imana!" ("Tutsi, race of God") beside a portrait of Grégoire Kayibanda, president of the first republic and leader of the 1959 Hutu revolution. Beside a drawn machete, the text asks which weapons to use to defeat the *inyenzi* for good. The line at the bottom calls for a return to the 1959 revolution against the "inyenzi-Tutsi".
- **3 March 1992: Radio Rwanda.** State radio, run by the information office ORINFOR under its director Ferdinand Nahimana, broadcasts several times a "communiqué" it attributes to a human rights group in Nairobi. It says Tutsi, working with the opposition Liberal Party as the "internal wing" of the "inyenzi enemy", plan to assassinate Hutu leaders in Bugesera. The claim was false. Radio Rwanda staff had been told not to air documents whose origin could not be checked, and this one fell into that category. Over the following days, local authorities, militia and soldiers lead massacres of Tutsi in Bugesera. Des Forges cites the broadcast as an instance of accusation in a mirror, and Nahimana lost the ORINFOR post after the massacre.
- **22 November 1992: the Kabaya speech.** Léon Mugesera, MRND vice-chair in Gisenyi, tells a party rally of about 1,000 people that the mistake of 1959 had been to let Tutsi leave, and speaks of sending them back to Ethiopia by way of the Nyabarongo river. He calls them *inyenzi*.
- **The "Note" found in Butare.** After the genocide a mimeographed memo, *Note relative à la propagande d'expansion et de recrutement*, was found in Butare. It draws on Goebbels, Lenin and a 1970 textbook on the psychology of propaganda by the French social psychologist Roger Mucchielli, who used the term *accusation en miroir*, and tells colleagues to "impute to enemies exactly what they and their own party are planning to do". In Des Forges's rendering: "In this way, the party which is using terror will accuse the enemy of using terror." Des Forges links it to the wider claim, repeated from 1993, that Tutsi planned to exterminate Hutu, including stories that Tutsi had dug pits to serve as mass graves for Hutu.
- **April-July 1993: RTLM founded.** Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines is set up in April and starts broadcasting in July 1993. Businessman Félicien Kabuga chairs its founding committee (*comité d'initiative*), with Nahimana and Jean-Bosco Barayagwiza, a leader of the CDR party, on it. Most of its shareholders come from Habyarimana's circle and MRND supporters from the north. It is presented as a private, "free" station, with popular music, call-ins and informal presenters such as Kantano Habimana, Valérie Bemeriki, Noël Hitimana and the Belgian Georges Ruggiu. Its transmitters in Kigali and Gisenyi reach the capital and parts of the country, not all of it.
- **6 April 1994.** Habyarimana's plane is shot down over Kigali, and the killing of Tutsi and of Hutu opponents begins within hours.
- **April-July 1994: RTLM during the genocide.** RTLM calls on listeners to staff roadblocks and search for *inyenzi* and their *ibyitso* (accomplices). It reads out names, vehicle registration numbers and places where people were said to be hiding, and describes killing as "work". On 4 June 1994, Kantano Habimana tells listeners to identify Tutsi by "the person's height and his physical appearance. Just look at his small nose and then break it." Des Forges writes that RTLM, "which had incited to genocide before April 6, communicated the orders for implementing the killings after that date." Des Forges estimates that at least half a million Tutsi were killed in about 100 days; other estimates are higher. The RPF takes Kigali in early July. Ruggiu's work for RTLM ran until 14 July 1994.
- **1 June 2000: Ruggiu.** The ICTR sentences Georges Ruggiu, an RTLM presenter, to 12 years on his guilty plea to direct and public incitement to genocide and persecution. He accepts that by 1994 *inyenzi* had come to mean "persons to be killed".
- **3 December 2003: the Media case.** ICTR Trial Chamber I convicts Nahimana, Barayagwiza and Ngeze of genocide, direct and public incitement to genocide, conspiracy and crimes against humanity. It sentences Nahimana and Ngeze to life and Barayagwiza to 35 years (reduced from life because his rights had been violated in pre-trial detention). The judgment tells Nahimana: "Without a firearm, machete or any physical weapon, you caused the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians."
- **28 June 2005: Mugesera in Canada.** The Supreme Court of Canada reverses the Federal Court of Appeal and upholds the deportation order against Mugesera. It finds reasonable grounds to believe the Kabaya speech was incitement to murder, genocide and hatred, and a crime against humanity (persecution). He is deported on 23 January 2012, and on 15 April 2016 the High Court in Kigali sentences him to life for public incitement to genocide, persecution and inciting ethnic hatred. The sentence is upheld on appeal.
- **28 November 2007: the appeal.** The Appeals Chamber reverses the conspiracy convictions and the findings that relied on conduct before 1 January 1994, which falls outside the tribunal's jurisdiction. It holds that pre-1994 material can be used as context but cannot be the crime itself.
- **Nahimana:** convictions as a direct participant reversed. His convictions for incitement to genocide and persecution stand only as RTLM's superior, for broadcasts after 6 April 1994. Sentence: 30 years.
- **Barayagwiza:** RTLM-based convictions reversed. His convictions for instigating genocide, extermination and persecution by CDR militia in Kigali, and planning extermination in Gisenyi, stand. Sentence: 32 years.
- **Ngeze:** his convictions for aiding and abetting genocide and extermination in Gisenyi stand, as does direct and public incitement through Kangura articles published in 1994. Sentence: 35 years.
- **2 December 2008: Simon Bikindi.** The ICTR convicts the singer and composer of direct and public incitement to genocide for calling on Hutu from a loudspeaker vehicle on the Kivumu-Kayove road in 1994 to exterminate Tutsi. It sentences him to 15 years, and the conviction is affirmed on appeal in 2010. His songs, composed before 1994 and played on RTLM, did not ground a conviction because the prosecution did not show he had a role in broadcasting them in 1994.
- **2009 and after.** A gacaca court sentences Valérie Bemeriki to life for her RTLM broadcasts. Kabuga is arrested near Paris in 2020, found unfit to stand trial in 2023 and dies in UN custody in The Hague on 16 May 2026 without a verdict.

## How it works

- [Accusation in a mirror](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/accusation-in-a-mirror/): this is the case the term comes from. The Butare "Note" states the method, telling propagandists to accuse the enemy of what their own side plans. The March 1992 Radio Rwanda communiqué applied it: it announced a Tutsi plot to kill Hutu leaders in Bugesera, and in the days that followed Tutsi in Bugesera were massacred. The same claim, that Tutsi planned to exterminate Hutu, ran in Kangura and on RTLM through 1993 and 1994, including stories of pits dug for Hutu bodies. Once the audience believes it is about to be killed, any warning about planned killings of Tutsi sounds like the enemy talking.
- [Name-calling](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/name-calling/): *inyenzi* (cockroach) stood in for both "RPF" and "Tutsi". Ruggiu's plea records that *inyenzi* came to mean "persons to be killed", so the label carried the instruction.
- [Scapegoating](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/scapegoating/): the war and the country's political crisis were put on Tutsi as a whole, from the Ten Commandments' claim that Tutsi were dishonest in business to RTLM's treatment of Tutsi civilians as the RPF.
- [Identity fusion](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/identity-fusion/): the Ten Commandments call any Hutu who marries, befriends, employs or trades with Tutsi a "traitor". RTLM called Hutu opponents *ibyitso*, accomplices. Doubting the message was presented as siding with the enemy.
- [Fear appeal](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/fear-appeal/): threats of imminent extermination (Bugesera, the "pits", RTLM's warnings of RPF infiltrators at roadblocks) were paired with one remedy: act first.
- [Euphemism / doublespeak](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/euphemism/): killing was "work" and weapons were "tools", as Des Forges documents, so a call to go to work never had to name the act.

## Then and now

**Content note:** Dehumanizing caricature of Germans as an ape, implied sexual violence and partial nudity. This object is shown as it was published. [Why](https://propagandaarchive.org/about/#as-it-was) ![Destroy This Mad Brute (1917)](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/images/destroy-this-mad-brute-1917.jpg)

*[Destroy This Mad Brute — Enlist](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/destroy-this-mad-brute-1917/), U.S. Army recruitment poster by Harry R. Hopps, 1917. Public domain.*

The 1917 U.S. poster shows the enemy as an ape carrying off a woman and wading ashore toward the viewer: a group turned into an animal, with a threat to the viewer's home. Kangura and RTLM used the same two moves, the animal label and the threat to one's family, against a domestic minority. The differences are plain. The poster asked Americans to enlist against a foreign army in a declared war. The Rwandan outlets addressed neighbours of the people named, and in 1994 the radio named targets while killings were under way. The ICTR drew the legal parallel to Julius Streicher, the *Der Stürmer* publisher convicted at Nuremberg (see the Holocaust propaganda case study).

A later case with the same shape, labels first and then a claimed threat, is [Anti-Rohingya propaganda in Myanmar, 2012-2018: the 'Bengali' label, the monks' sermons and the military's covert Facebook pages](https://propagandaarchive.org/case-studies/rohingya-facebook-campaign/), where the material spread on a social platform rather than a transmitter. The Bosnia war media case study covers state television in the Yugoslav wars.

## Positions on the record

- **As stated by the perpetrators.** Kangura and RTLM said they were defending Hutu, and the republic of 1959, against an RPF invasion. At trial Nahimana said RTLM was set up to counter the RPF's own station, Radio Muhabura, which broadcast from Uganda from 1991. The three Media case defendants argued their outlets were wartime journalism and political speech, and appealed.
- **What courts found.** The ICTR found the broadcasts and articles above were incitement to genocide and persecution, and that the killing of Tutsi in 1994 was genocide. The Appeals Chamber took judicial notice of the genocide against the Tutsi as a fact of common knowledge (*Karemera*, 2006). The 2007 appeal narrowed the Media case. It set aside conspiracy and all liability based on pre-1994 conduct, and left open whether hate speech that does not call for violence can by itself be persecution. It did not overturn the finding that post-6 April RTLM broadcasts and 1994 Kangura articles were incitement. The Supreme Court of Canada and the Rwandan courts reached parallel findings on Mugesera.
- **What scholars dispute: radio's causal weight.** David Yanagizawa-Drott (*QJE*, 2014) uses the way hills blocked RTLM's signal from some villages and not others. He estimates that villages with reception had more participation, and attributes about 10 percent of participation, roughly 51,000 perpetrators, to the station, including spillover to neighbouring villages. Scott Straus (*Politics & Society*, 2007) points to RTLM's limited reach, the timing of the violence and his interviews with perpetrators. He argues that radio had conditional effects within a wider wartime mobilisation rather than being the main cause. Nyseth Nzitatira, Billing and Edgerton (*American Sociological Review*, 2024) use gacaca court records. They find RTLM coverage associated with earlier onset of violence, but not with the level of participation. None of these studies disputes the content of the broadcasts.
- **Documented, separately: RPF killings in 1994.** Des Forges (HRW, 1999) documents killings of civilians by RPF soldiers during and after the 1994 campaign. It reports that a UNHCR-contracted team led by Robert Gersony estimated that the RPF killed between 25,000 and 45,000 people from April to August 1994. No final written report was issued and the UN did not publish the findings. These are separate crimes. They are not part of the genocide record above and are not equivalent to it in scale, organisation or intent as the courts and historians describe them.
- **Documented, separately: information controls in RPF-led Rwanda.** A 2008 law made "genocide ideology" a crime. Amnesty International (*Safer to stay silent*, 2010) reported that the law was vaguely worded and had been used to prosecute criticism of the government. The government announced a review of the law in 2010. This is a later government's control of speech about the history, recorded here by the same standard. It is not a finding about the 1990-94 propaganda.
- **Not shown.** This page does not attribute any specific death to any specific broadcast beyond what the judgments find, and the full RTLM archive is not public in one place.

## Same-method test

In Wilmington, North Carolina, in 1898, the state Democratic Party's white supremacy campaign ran for months in newspapers such as Josephus Daniels's Raleigh *News & Observer*, with cartoons by Norman Jennett. The papers warned of "Negro domination" and of threats from Black men. After armed white men overthrew the elected city government on 10 November and killed as many as sixty Black residents, the white press reported the violence as a riot started by Black residents. North Carolina's 1898 Wilmington Race Riot Commission (report, 2006) documented the coordinated campaign and the coup. The method is the same: blame the target in advance for the violence being prepared, then report that violence as the target's own. The scale is not. This page's finding would be the same for the Wilmington papers, for a government or a rebel force, and for any party in any country.

![Norman Jennett's "Negro Rule" vampire cartoon, The News & Observer, with an affidavit printed beneath it](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/images/negro-rule-vampire-1900.png)

*["Negro Rule" vampire cartoon with sworn affidavit](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/negro-rule-vampire-1900/): Norman Jennett's "Negro Rule" vampire cartoon for* The News & Observer *(Raleigh), drawn for the 1898 campaign. Commons dates the cartoon to 27 September 1898 and describes this printing as the paper's issue of 4 July 1900, during the campaign for the suffrage amendment the affidavit mentions. The affidavit printed below it says a Black preacher was heard saying the right way to deal with white people "would be to kill them from the cradle up". Via Wikimedia Commons (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill); public domain (published in the U.S. before 1931). Shown because it pairs a dehumanising label with a claim that the target plans to exterminate the audience, the same pairing Kangura and RTLM used. The affidavit's claim is the paper's; it is not a finding.*

## How to spot it

- **Check a warning against the speaker's own record.** When a group says a minority is about to massacre it, ask who holds the army, the militias, the lists and the transmitters. In Rwanda the claim came from the side that held them.
- **Trace the source.** The Bugesera "communiqué" was credited to a foreign human rights group, aired without the check its own station required, and was false. An outside source that cannot be checked is a warning sign.
- **Watch the vocabulary shift.** When a label for fighters (*inyenzi* for the RPF) is used for a whole group, and when "work" stands in for killing, the language is changing what listeners are asked to do.
- **Names and places on air.** Broadcasting where named private people can be found, alongside an enemy label, is what the ICTR convicted as incitement.

### Image gaps

- **Kangura no. 6 (the Ten Commandments page) and other Kangura issues.** No openly licensed scan is on Commons. The Rwandan genocide archive (genocidearchiverwanda.org.rw) hosts scans, but it could not be reached from the build environment and its licence was not checked. **Could be filled** if a licence is confirmed.
- **RTLM itself: studio, transmitter, presenters.** No openly licensed period photo was found. RTLM audio is held by the ICTR/IRMCT archive and university collections; it is not openly licensed and could not be reached.
- **Radio Rwanda's March 1992 communiqué.** No text or audio copy under an open licence was found.
- **The Butare "Note".** Quoted through Des Forges and Marcus. No facsimile is openly available.
- **Wilmington 1898: the original September 1898 printing of the vampire cartoon.** The copy used here is the later printing Commons describes. A scan of the 27 September 1898 page is public domain and **could be added** from the North Carolina newspaper archives.
- **Kangura no. 26 cover (November 1991).** A scan reproduced in the ICTR trial judgment is on Wikimedia Commons, tagged public domain as part of a UN document. That tag covers the judgment, not the 1991 Rwandan cover as a work of its own, so its US status is unclear and it is not hosted here. **Could be filled** if the cover's own status is confirmed.
