How did Israel contribute to the 1994 Rwandan genocide?
The Rwandan genocide was one of the darkest periods of African history, up to a million Tutsi and moderate Hutu massacred by extremist Hutu in brutal scenes.
The staggering killing of nearly 20 percent of the country’s population has left an ugly stain on a nation struggling to recover. The silence and complicity of the international community has always played a part but could Israeli arms sales to Rwanda between 1990 and 1995 been one of the key drivers of the genocide? With an Israeli court refusing to make records of Tel Aviv’s involvement public, will the world ever find out?
Records documenting the Israeli regime’s arms exports to Rwanda during the 1994 genocide in the African country will remain sealed and concealed from the public, Israel's Supreme Court rules. The verdict denied a request by attorney Eitay Mack and Professor Yair Auro who had submitted a request to the Israeli ministry of military affairs in 2014, asking for the details of Israeli arms sales to Rwanda between 1990 and 1995.
