This presentation is based on the analysis of Rwanda's ethnic situation and recommendations have been given in order to make it better.

1. 'You have to kill the Tutsis, they're cockroaches.' 'All those who are listening, rise
so we can fight for our Rwanda. Fight with the weapons you have at your
disposal: those who have arrows, with arrows, those who have spears, with
spears. We must all fight.' 'We must all fight the Tutsis. We must finish with
them, exterminate them, sweep them from the whole country. There must be no
refuge for them.' 'They must be exterminated. There is no other way.'
