Two radio stations in particular, Radio Rwanda and Radio Television Libre des Mille Collines, were used by the Hutu ethnic group to promote anti-Tutsi propaganda.
SOMEWHAT REMINISCENT OF RWANDA'S Radio Mille Collines (RTLM FM), which in 1994 called for the "slaughter of all Tutsi cockroaches and their Hutu sympathizers", hate messages in Cote d'Ivoire are broadcast over local radio waves, espoused by both rebel- and government-controlled FM stations.
Confronting killers with a combination of diplomacy, flattery and deception, Paul Rusesabagina managed to shelter more than 1,200 Tutsis and moderate Hutus in the Hotel Des Milles Collines, of which he was manager, while homicidal mobs raged outside with machetes during the Rwandan genocide.
