Research should be about the truth

This week, Kigali hosted a conference on the effects of the 1994 Genocide on research, with delegates condemning dishonest researchers who, instead of depicting the reality, have played to the gallery of Genocide revisionists and apologists.  Over the recent past, Rwandans have been perplexed, to say the least, by the misleading accounts peddled by certain individuals who seek to distort the events surrounding the Genocide against the Tutsi, by joining hands with certain fugitives and their sympathisers to misinform the world about the tragic events that befell the country prior, during and after the Genocide.
