Rwanda Truth and Reconciliation

"Rwanda Truth and Reconciliation: The Process Begins" will focus on steps Rwanda needs to take to fully recover from the Rwanda Genocide that killed hundreds of thousands of Rwandan people in 1994.

It is being organized by William Mitchell Professor Peter Erlinder, director of the International Humanitarian Law Institute, international criminal defense attorney, and former defense attorney at the International Criminal Tribunal on Rwanda.

Speakers include:
Dr. Ali Galayd, former prime minister of Somalia,
Paul Rusesabagina, president of the Hotel Rwanda Rusesabagina Foundation and author of "An Ordinary Man," the memoir that became the film Hotel Rwanda,
Robert Flaten, former U.S. ambassador to Rwanda (1990-93),
Peter Erlinder, William Mitchell professor and former defense attorney at the International Criminal Tribunal on Rwanda, and
A special guest whose name cannot be released at this time due to security reasons.

According to Erlinder, the special guest is a high-ranking member of the Rwanda government, now in political asylum. The speaker proposes mutual acceptance of responsibility by Hutus and Tutsis for crimes committed during and after the genocide, as a necessary step toward reconciliation.

This event is not open to the public. Open to students and faculty members with valid ID. Conference will be streamed live at wmitchell.edu.

All the above people from totally different backgrounds were able to sit down and talk about how Rwanda is going in the wrong direction. Methinks this is an early sign that General Kagame's end may be coming.
