AFP/PASCAL GUYOT - photo taken on 18 July 1994, the bodies of more than 100 who were trampled in the then border town of Goma, eastern Zaire, on 17 July, as they fled the final offensive of the Rwandan Patriotic Front. "'They did not know that the [Tutsi] were human beings, because if they had thought about that they wouldn't have killed them. Let me include myself as someone who accepted it. I wouldn't have accepted that they are human beings.' Elie Ngaramambe, a Hutu man, spoke these words to US political scientists Daniel Jonah Goldhagen in 2008. Ngaramambe was talking about his role in the 1994 Rwanda genocide during which he bludgeoned and hacked Tutsi women, men and children to death."
