The Rwanda's Untold Story:
BBC is right to reject the complaint from Kagame's consultants about Rwanda genocide documentary.
1.These people who are complaining about the BBC 's documentary are former and current Kagame's consultants . Some of them are selling books that they wrote about Rwanda genocide. That money from the sale of these books and publications should be given to Rwandan genocide survivals, both Hutu and Tutsi. These people are complaining to keep ongoing the sale of their books which were written with the financial support from Kagame and to present Kagame's one version of the Rwandan genocide.
2. BBC was right to present the views that are different from Kagame's views about the Rwandan genocide. In fact, most of the views presented in the documentary are in the public domain and can be found by searching the Internet. What BBC did is just putting them together in one documentary.
3.We do not know why Kagame has not yet created a national commission to investigate these different contradictory views about Rwandan genocide, which are available online as he did about the BBC's documentary. We do not know why these Kagame's consultants have not yet complained to Google or other search engines where the public can read these contradictory views about the Rwandan genocide.
4. The BBC was right to present the views of Rwandan people without any discrimination. We all know that the entire Rwandan media is controlled by Kagame. The people interviewed by BBC are currently marginalised in Rwandan political, economic and social life. They has no means to present their opinions about what happened to all Rwandan people, Hutu and Tutsi. These are refugees, Rwandan Diaspora, politicians, academics and scholars who do not agree with the views of Kagame' consultants who have made this complaint.
5. While these so-called scholars accuse regularly African people and their leaders of corruption, the interventions of these consultants against the BBC documentary show how the White man and woman also are corrupt too. When they criticise African people, these scholars seem to suggest that they don't care about money and that only African people need money. Without the money paid to them by Kagame, they would not make such ridiculous, biased and childish complaint against BBC.
6. We thank very much BBC for having facilitated the dialogue and freedom of expression about Rwandan genocide, Kagame's massive massacres of Hutu in DRC and other neighbouring countries, racial and economic apartheid that is now well established in the country. The Rwandan's Untold Story is an inclusive documentary that no one interested in Rwanda's should not miss to watch.
---------------------------------------
The BBC's editorial complaints unit has rejected a complaint about a controversial documentary on Rwanda that questioned official accounts of the 1994 genocide.
The group of scholars, scientists, researchers, journalists and historians who made the complaint now plan to appeal to the BBC Trust over the decision.
Rwanda's Untold Story, broadcast on 1 October 2014, sparked controversy by suggesting President Paul Kagame may have had a hand in the shooting-down of his predecessor's plane, which triggered the mass killings.
It also quoted US researchers who suggested that many of the more than 800,000 Rwandans who died in the 1994 genocide may have been ethnic Hutus, and not Tutsis as the government maintains.
Kagame accused the BBC of "genocide denial" in the documentary, which he said had chosen to "tarnish Rwandans, dehumanise them". The corporation emphatically rejected the claims.

- The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
- I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.
