1198:, which cover about a 90 degrees arc behind the aircraft, while Gasogi and Masaka Hills are about 6 km from each other. Looking at this map, the farthest of these is 6 km away from the point at which the aircraft was hit. There is thus a possible discrepancy between Melvern's map and the eyewitness she quotes, or she may have included it just to show how varied the eyewitness accounts are. I'm considering removing the eyewitness account as it may weight one location too heavily in the narrative. A copy of the map would of course be best, but I'm horrible at graphics. Every account I've read that has bothered to specify the SAM states that they were shoulder-fired, but I'm not sure if that is unproven common wisdom or if there is a French language report somewhere that details some forensic evidence, which I haven't stumbled across yet. -

region. There are indeed "camps" of
European scholars on Rwanda/Burundi issues, with Rene Lemarchand and Reyntjens on one side and Jean-Pierre Chretien leading the other. Both sides' views on the issues and eachother can be represented, but I don't think either has really won out in the field of historiography for us to present one as having the "consensus" view. To put a "disclaimer" about Reyntjen's opinion on the shootdown due to his skepticism of Kagame (who's faced much more academic and political scrutiny in recent years) as if that colors his professional credibility would be entirely

However, under U.S. and U.K. pressure, she was replaced soon thereafter as ICTR prosecutor by Abubacar Jallow who pledged not to prosecute Kagame or anyone on his side, no matter what the processes initiated by del Ponte and Bruguière yielded.(Peter Erlinder, The Great Rwanda "Genocide Coverup",

Reyntjens had his start as a scholar of

Greetings everyone! I'm a historian who specializes in this region, and I'm very concerned about the utilization of Filip
Reyntjens within the text. He is a noted political opponent of Kagame and the RPF, which seems to stem from his ties to Belgium (he's a Belgian political commentator.) If he is

Reytjens is quite neutral, and it is only after decades of research that he concluded that the RPF was responsible. He already suspected the RPF in 1995, and by 2020 he was convinced. Few people know more about this issue than
