Letter: Mass murderers must be tried
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE EXCELLENT piece on Rwanda ('How could it happen?', 24 July) by Charles Richards had one serious error. In the answer to the question 'Just who are the 'rebels'?', Richards writes that the rebel organisation is known as the Rwanda Patriotic Front and that its Hutu chairman is Pasteur Bizimungu.
The organisation is known as the Rwandese Patriotic Front. It does have a Hutu as
its chairman, Colonel Alexis Kanyarenwe, who is now deputy Prime Minister in the transitional government.
Pasteur Bizimungu was Secretary for Informations and Documentation of the RPF before he was appointed President. He was to be the Minister for Internal Affairs according to the Arusha Accord signed last year between the RPF and the government.
