Phone
call from Rwanda
The day Michael Hourigan borrowed
the US embassy’s phone to tell his boss about the breakthrough in the
investigation into the terrorist act that triggered the greatest mass
murder of modern times, he probably set in motion a chain reaction he
had never dreamt of. A few weeks later the investigation had been suspended.
The powers above him in the UN had decided that the truth of the Rwandan
genocide could not bear the light of day (Danish daily Information,

'Foreign Aid to
Rwanda: Purely Beneficial or Contributing to War?' -

Back in 1996 Gunnar Willum and I spent

in September 1999.
