81. I can plead mostly ignorance, but the first I had heard about it
was in the movie "Hotel Rwanda". Then I saw the HBO movie "Sometimes in April". Both are movies about the genocide where the Hutus killed about 1 million Tooties, both tribes in Rwanda. In the run-up and during the genocide, there was one radio station that was inciting this violence, calling the Tootsies cockroaches and generally de-humanizing them so that neighbor would be OK with killing neighbor.

Both movies are excellent and I highly recommend them. I learned some about the genocide that we did nothing about, probably cause there was no oil in Rwanda.

Heartbreaking!
