The body of literature on post-genocide Rwanda is both extensive and diverse. In many works, facts are reported variably, depending on the sources of information favored. Moreover, interpretations often differ according to the author's stance in relation to Rwanda's new political order, frequently without sufficient effort to situate events within their historical and contextual frameworks.
Given these circumstances, uncovering the truth about the tragedy that has afflicted the Rwandan people since October 1, 1990, proves to be a formidable challenge. This dictionary seeks to assist readers by providing concise historical backgrounds on key figures and events, thereby enabling a more critical and contextualized engagement with the narratives and arguments presented in the various publications on Rwanda.
By delving into the historical and political foundations of Rwanda, this work offers insights into the origins of the recurring political and ethnic violence that has plagued the "Land of a Thousand Hills."
Structured in the form of a dictionary, the entries highlight the events and personalities deemed pivotal to the political evolution of the country.
