Reddit reviews Machete Season: The Killers in Rwanda Speak

I'm at work right now, but I have a journal with a few brief interviews with some victims of the genocide. I'll transcribe them in the evening.

Also, watch Sometimes in April instead of Hotel Rwanda.

Excellent books on the subject: We wish to inform you that tomorrow you will be killed with your families, Machete Season (the genocidaires speak...), and Shake hands with the devil.

Also, I think it's very unlikely that PK steps down in 2017; there was talk of amending the constitution during the last round of elections.

I have a decent amount of insight, having lived there for 2 years and change, but am in no way an expert FWIW.

edit: formatting

His book is solid, on the subject of horrific violence in Africa, Machete Season is superb but is very very very dark.

I'm not really joking though.

Dear Europe, you are importing these people into your countries. They do not play by the same rules as you - they don't play by any rules.

Machete Season.

>During the spring of 1994, in a tiny country called Rwanda, some 800,000 people were hacked to death, one by one, by their neighbors in a gruesome civil war. Several years later, journalist Jean Hatzfeld traveled to Rwanda to interview ten participants in the killings, eliciting extraordinary testimony from these men about the genocide they perpetrated.

Must read if you're interested in the topic - along with An Ordinary Man (as suggested by someone else).
