The Legitimacy and Viability of Rwanda’s 2024 Presidential Election
Rwanda’s political development since the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, often referred to as the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, frequently faces accusations of its President, Paul Kagame and his Rwandan Patriotic Front ( RPF ) conducting authoritarian mechanisms to remain in power. During the 2024 Presidential election, President Kagame received over 99 per cent. Most Global North-based human rights organisations describe these elections as fraudulent …
Combating Genocide Denial through Rwanda’s Foreign Policy
Rwanda’s foreign policy is still greatly influenced by the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, commonly referred to as the Rwanda Genocide. Despite the genocidal massacres ending over thirty years ago, the Rwandan government still perceives its continued threat. Despite tangible threats to the state, such as the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) decline, the concern of the genocide’s lasting ideology and denial still concerns Rwa…
The differences in Rwanda’s generational engagement in Ndi Umunyarwanda
Since the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, the post-genocide dominated by the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) under President Paul Kagame continues its policy to replace past ethnic divisions with the policy of Ndi Umunyarwanda, loosely translated as ‘I am Rwandan’, to foster a unified national identity. The ethnic division of Hutu, Tutsi and Twa resulted in ethnic violence and a collapse of the social order during Rwanda’s genocide. This research …
French-Rwandan Foreign Relations
This research examines France and Rwanda’s historical, current and future relations. The consequences of France’s past support for Rwanda’s pre-genocide regimes indirectly resulted in nearly one million deaths during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. France’s role during the Rwandan Civil War (1990–1994) against the Rwanda Patriotic Front ( RPF ) significantly influenced how the post-genocide Rwandan government engaged with France. Since 1994,…
The Arrest and Trial of Paul Rusesabagina and its Impact on Rwandan Foreign Affairs
The 2020 arrest and subsequent trial of Paul Rusesabagina fostered controversy about Rwanda’s human rights record and the political dominance of President Paul Kagame against oppositional voices. Despite human rights organizations and even the European Union condemning the arrest and questioning the ability for him to receive a fair trial, Rwandans remain resolute in their desire to seek justice against Rusesabagina. He is best known as the Afric…
Rwandan Perceptions of Jews, Judaism, and Israel
Religious studies of Rwanda typically focus on Christi26662531anity's involvement before, during, and after the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, also referred to as the Rwandan Genocide. Rwanda's postgenocide reconstruction has witnessed new and changing political and social commitments by previously established religious organisations such as the Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Adventist Churches. The Rwandan government has taken a more progress…
Rwanda's securitisation of genocide denial
This article examines the concept of genocide denial as a security threat within the case study of Rwanda. Rwanda experienced the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi when an estimated 800,000 Tutsis and politically moderate Hutus were butchered by extremists within a one-hundred-day period. Since the ending the genocide the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) continues to dominate the post-genocide nation's political sphere. The remnants of genocide perpetr…
Foreign Policy in Post-Genocide Rwanda
This book examines how Rwandan elites within the government, private sector and civil society perceive the nation’s political and economic relationship with the international community. Using testimonies and interviews of Rwandan political, military and economic leaders, and bureaucrats, this book examines the intersubjective beliefs that formulate how Rwanda engages with the international community. The book presents and analyses three primary i…
Lisa Pine, Debating Genocide
Peace and Compromise, Idealism and Constraint
Peace and stability have been core challenges in the Great Lakes Region of Africa since the years of independence from European nations. State building processes have been ridden by ongoing violence, characterized by two-sided or multi-party violence perpetrated by militias, national militaries, rogue groups, and even local civilians. The international system has prioritized peace accords and negotiation processes when parties in conflict decide …
A history of Rwandan identity and trauma
Since the conclusion of the genocide Rwanda experienced what many international leaders praise as a unique transformation away from violence, economic desolation and insecurity into a stable and peaceful state that has fostered economic development. However, human rights organizations and many established scholars criticize the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) for hindering political development by establishing an authoritarian dictatorship; violati…
Zachary D. Kaufman, United States Law and Policy on Transitional Justice
Scholarship on transitional justice and international relations rarely intersect, as they appear to be considered part of distinct fields within the social sciences. Traditionally, the two are only brought together when international relations assists in illustrating a specific argument in transitional justice. Scant academic literature focuses on the direct relationship between the two subjects. This dearth of scholarship leads to a gap in the d…
How Piracy is Affecting Economic Development in Puntland, Somalia
The international community has united in its mission to halt the hijacking of merchant ships in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea with a massive naval presence that monitors the vast, strategic seas in which Somali pirates operate. This naval presence consequently has had some success in reducing pirate attacks in 2012, but why are the Somalis turning to piracy in the first place? The economic history of piracy has been well documented with other…
