You're right
I just came here to check out FSRN's coverage, thinking of pitching them a story, after doing this KPFA News story about the explosive tension in Rwanda now, and adding a video overlay for the Youtube on Sunday, http://www.youtube.com/user/AnnieGetYourGang#p/u/0/nMwBMk3SINE
Since then Mrs. Ingabiré has been summoned by the Criminal Investigations Division in Kigali.
This is horrible. FSRN promoting State Department propaganda behind one of the most vicious dictators on the planet.
This sounds like P.R. for the U.S. client state of Rwanda.
I started trying to write a response to point out what's missing from this story, i.e., virtually every bit of important information about the mass murders and imperialist looting in Rwanda and the eastern Congo. But I'm not an expert at this complex topic, so I think it's better to just give some online references:
