Talk:Great Lakes refugee crisis

Accuracy
It is important to state that the interahamwe et al, were a small minority among the Hutu refugees, that used them to shield themselves. Not every Hutu is a genocidal maniac - which is the general feeling one gets from many of the articles on this era. And the RPF did not invade to end the genocide. At the time the genocide started, the RPF already controled the north of the country (Byumba, Ruhengeri, Muranvia, etc). And they had more than a thousand troops in Kigali itself, headquartered at the Parliament complex. It needs to be clarified.

 * I reworded the relevant section to take into account that the RPF already had strongholds in the north from which it launched attacks, rather than being based out of Uganda proper. I know that the RPA had more troops in Kigali than the Arusha Accords had allowed, but frankly don't know what role they played in the subsequent displacement.
 * As for the general comments about tone, I think this article makes it clear that the Hutu refugees were being coerced by the Interahamwe. - Banyan Tree 17:52, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

 * That's not even the start of it. Gérard Prunier's new book explicitly contradicts his previous (highly influential and cited) book, The Rwanda Crisis: History of a Genocide, on all manner of things, starting with stating that Fred Rwigema was killed by his own men, who were in turn killed by Museveni's brother.  To get a sense of what I think needs to be done to this article, check this out. I would be sorely tempted to ignore Prunier as a crazy French conspiracy theorist, if he wasn't clearly the most widely cited source on the genocide, and if I didn't think that his Darfur book is amazing, and if both the Financial Times and Economist didn't have positive reviews.  My generally positive outlook on the RPF has been totally demolished in the first 40 pages.  I honestly think I may have to rewrite every single page I started or significantly contributed to about the Great Lakes conflicts, starting with Rwandan Civil War and at least through Second Congo War.  I hope Foreign Affairs, whose reviews I tend to trust, will dismiss him as a loony, just to spare my sanity. Aargh! ;) And to think I've been waiting for this book to come out for at least two years... - BanyanTree 16:41, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Theres no explanation for why the RPF suddenly won the civil war. Where did their weaponry come from? Ottawakismet (talk) 04:45, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
