{The president of Ibuka in Rwanda, Prof Dusingizemungu Jean Pierre has requested the United Nations to stop playing name-games, changing the meaning of genocide against the Tutsi. } <\/p>\n

As Rwanda commemorates Tutsi killed in Nyanza, Kicukiro in 1994 11th April, what is summoned into memory is how the international community abandoned a people in need, with UN \u2018peace keepers\u2019 packing their bags leaving hunted Tutsi in the hands of death. <\/p>\n

Prof Dusingizemungu has said that international community has however not yet learnt any lessons for it still refers the 1994 pogrom as Rwanda genocide instead of genocide against the Tutsi. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is shocking to see UN, claiming to oversee humanity, unchanged despite the lessons,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cUN is creating confusion among people through speeches of its leaders. They need to be clear and announce that genocide in Rwanda was perpetrated against the Tutsi,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

He urged UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to remove the confusion to avoid misinterpretation of history. <\/p>\n

Prof Dusingizemungu explained that some countries still support genocide trivialization and denial, pointing out a Belgian journalist, Peter Verlinden accused of undermining genocide who wanted to attend a public lecture on genocide history among schools held in parliamentary buildings in Wallonie-Bruxelles province of Belgium on 24th March 2017.<\/p>\n

He explained that Ibuka denied the journalist working for VRT television attendance. <\/p>\n

He appealed to speaker of parliament in Belgium and allowed to follow discussions but in a particular own room where he could not share ideas. <\/p>\n

Prof Dusingizemungu said international community supported Interahamwe accusing France of being at forefront.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrance took a fore position in executing genocide,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Prof Dusingizemungu urged world historians to document the role played by France in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. <\/p>\n
