Strangely, and a first in his statements over 30 years of rule, Kagame openly admitted that mass graves all around the country were full of victims from the unmentioned other ethnic groups, Hutu and Twa, massacred by the rebel army under his command.
He said :
"The desire for retribution was huge. As the commander, to keep my own emotions in check, I had to order my officers, at a certain point, to stop showing me the mass graves. We could not allow people to take justice into their own hands. We had to break the cycle of violence, and convert the urge for vengeance into a national program of unity and reconciliation."
