Ms Aline Uwase, a genocide survivor, looks at the skulls of victims inside the Genocide Memorial in Gisozi Kigali, on April 3, 2019. The day, also known as Kwibohora, is observed on July 4, to remember the end of genocide against Tutsi. It marks the day Rwandan Patriotic Front captured the capital Kigali, ending the 1994 genocide against the minority Tutsi and moderate Hutus. He had another far more insidious weapon that fuelled the mass murders of 1994 – a mass media platform called Radio Television Libre des Mille Collines, or simply the RTLM radio station. By 1992, Rwanda had only one radio station, Radio Rwanda, that like Kenya’s Voice of Kenya in the 1980s, was staid and solemn.
