To understand the genocide which occured in Rwanda in 1994 it is necessary to give a chronoligical account of its history which started with the arrival of the first colonizers. It was in the name of this history, so many times falsified by both the Western ers and the Rwandans, that some extremists started up their fierce and relentless exactions. Parallel to the politi­cians' speeches or to the specialists' testimonies three Rwandans will relate their personnal experience. The three of them opposed the dictatorship of President Habyarimana (1973-1994) ; they all suffered from it but none of them has a crime on his mind.
