Longman in NY Times on French Complicity in Rwandan Genocide
Timothy Longman, Associate Professor of International Relations and Political Science at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University and Director of the Institute on Culture, Religion and World Affairs (CURA), was recently interviewed for an article on an independent report by the Rwandan government that accuses French officials of complicity in Rwanda’s 1994 genocide.
Longman was quoted in a December 13, 2017 article in the New York Times entitled “Rwanda Accuses France of Complicity in 1994 Genocide.”
From the text of the article:
“There were cases where they found Tutsi refugees, saw them, and then left them, and more of them were killed,” said Timothy P. Longman, the [former] director of the African Studies Center at Boston University. “It’s one thing after another. The French absolutely deserve to be condemned.”
Longman recently published Memory and Justice in post-Genocide Rwanda (Cambridge University Press, 2017) book which follows on his earlier book Christianity and Genocide in Rwanda (Cambridge University Press 2011)He teaches courses on religion and politics at the Pardee School.
