How Extremists Used Ndadaye’s Death to Fuel 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi

[New Times] The death of Burundian President Melchior Ndadaye on October 21, 1993, was used by Hutu extremists in Rwanda as a powerful propaganda tool to justify the dehumanisation of the Tutsi and the planning of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. Extremists exploited his death to reinforce the Hutu Power ideology, arguing that the Tutsi could never be trusted in a power-sharing government.
