They’re a crate of machetes that would be used in the genocide to come. The fact that you have a whole crate of something basically worthless for anything except murdering unarmed people (you don’t bring machetes to a gunfight) means they only had one sinister purpose. Which is why they react the way they do when the crate breaks.
This actually happened before the genocide. Some Chinese manufacturers reported that they were getting unusually large orders of machetes from Rwandan political groups. Everybody knew what was going to go down, but the West sat back and did nothing.

To the mass murderers, the atmosphere was upbeat and festive; genocide was a time of unusual - if freakish - plenty! It was not mournful. If you were a militiaman, it was a time when you could have even the prettiest girls that you had always envied but wouldn’t have even dared to speak to. Before that, most people could afford to eat meat maybe once a year on a very special occasion. But now, because of the genocide, the militias and any associates could just kill an entire herd of cattle and eat as much meat as they could stomach day and night. They could freely enter their victims’ homes and shops and loot all the household goods that they hadn’t been able to afford before. Land, crops, and other things were lying there for the taking. Plenty of women to rape, plenty of beer too. Everything in this segment, from the lies in the opening broadcast, to the festive mood, to Rutaganda’s odious swagger, is all from the genocidaires’ perspective.

I can very well relate to your sorrow.

Between January 1993 and March 1994, the Hutu regime imported over 500,000 machetes right under the international community's eyes, yet no one questioned why? Really? Nothing like 'why so many machetes?' 'What for?' International Community was totally involved with what was going on.
Kabuga, the accused genocidaire who imported those tons of machetes, was caught in Paris just last month. He and his lawyers are now arguing in court that he should not be extradited because he feels more comfortable in France. The genocidaires’ cynicism knows no bounds. That’s the only way they could murder an entire population with machetes in broad day light.
Chinese supplied weapons to the militants. The French sealed off the country and provided shelter to the Genocidaires when the RPF won. Both should answer.
Multiple private Hutu individuals (farmers, businessmen, etc.) purchasing 1 or 2 boxes from small Chinese manufacturers that did not care to ask questions. If anybody asked, the private buyer could just say that this box of machete was for his/her plantation or farm. Keep this up with the help of Hutu organizations, in a country that lacked watchdog organizations or developed investigative media, one could pull this off easily. Remember, this was before the invention of smartphones. Handheld camcorders were expensive for the average Rwandan back in those days, so I highly doubt anyone could do any sort of investigative journalism. Furthermore, there were Hutus in the police force, which was corrupt. If anyone outside or inside tried to whistle-blow, or blow the lid off the secret operation, he could easily get killed. The UN force in the region actually uncovered the secret genocide preparation through a Hutu insider, but the UN force was not allowed to do anything about it.

Such a sad time for not only Rwanda but for the region of east central Africa. The 1885 scramble for Africa was a cancer that metastasized. The Hutu and the nomadic Tusti were living in peace and harmony, many intermarried until the Belgians trekked East from the Congo and caused chaos
0:07 "Today, president Clinton voiced concerns, at the deteriorating situation in Sarajevo." When I first heard the first few words, I thought it be something about Clinton saying something about Rwanda, but no, it's about another crisis..."
There wasn't any rivalry between them, that is a stupidity. Tutsis and Hutus were social classes in Rwanda, nothing more, it didn't use to be something bad or a symbol of something bad or good. When Belgium colonized Rwanda they modified the concepts of Hutus and Tutsis giving them new definitions and ideas based on their races, aspects, capacities, etc.
None of those speculations will ever justify the mass murders that the colonizers organized in Rwanda! "The killers [in 1959] were supported by the [Belgian] administration officials of that time, and by the church authorities who were also heavily involved. I actually saw them; they would give a jerry can of gasoline to someone [a Hutu militiaman] and tell him: "Go burn down those houses!" [i.e. Tutsi people’s homes.] And one of them would stand behind his vehicle and send someone to set homes on fire. Interviewer’s Question: Who would be standing behind the vehicle? Answer: The [European] clergy of the time who were at the scene. Q: At that time from what you heard, who was supposed to burn down whose homes and why? A: That was clearly and openly stated: "Go kill Tutsis, drive them out, burn down their homes, kill them and kill their children too; they must get out of here, they are foreigners who came from Ethiopia, they arrived here as cattlemen. This country is not theirs but yours!" The Belgian authorities were saying this and the clergy said the same thing. Q: Can you tell us the names of those authorities and clergymen? A: Certainly. Europeans such as Durpin, Van Den Broeck, Cornu, Bafort, and many others of that time, including Gerardin, Braeck, all of those, yes. [Approximate spelling of names by sound]. The situation continued to worsen, and in 1960 the Belgian government announced that it would invite a United Nations delegation to see what was happening in the country - because at that time the UN was supposed to be responsible for Rwanda. It is the UN that had given Belgium the authority to rule Rwanda. Once the UN delegation arrived, the people who dared to contact it were later seized by night and killed. The Belgians killed a lot of people at that time, for example in the Nyungwe forest in a place that I know, that was shown to me. The Belgians were telling people, "Come with us, we will present you to the UN. You will be able to bring your complaints before the UN." They would then take them away and kill them. They massacred a lot of people like that. Those who were able to flee the country did so. They continued to flee in the 1960s. Others stayed put but they continued to suffer disappearances. People were regularly reported missing." (/watch?v=MaTGc7ec_fA) The Belgian administration remained in place for several more years until 1962; it remained in charge of security forces even after 1962 and kept up its anti-Tutsi campaign all along, which culminated eventually into the 1994 episode. Note that by formal agreement between the Vatican and Belgium, the Catholic clergy in Rwanda was essentially part of the colonial administration. The relationship was especially close because Catholicism was the official religion of the Belgian Kingdom. With the help of colonial officials almost all Rwandans had already been converted to Catholicism by the 1950s. This placed the clergy in a strong position of authority in the country.
The general divide goes way back before the Germans and Belgians, but it wasn't a rivalry. They lived in a cohesive society. The Hutu and Tutsi were rather general social castes, with the Hutus being the peasant farmers and the Tutsis running the government, and not necessarily racial groups before Europeans came. The reason why I say this is because prior to colonization by Germany and Belgium, many Hutus were in the nobility, and many Tutsis were also peasants. This divide we see which caused the genocide is one of race, which was brought over by Europeans.
@Tabitha J Yes, well at least he is likely going to be going to court for it. On top of that most of the story about him is false. I guess he was quite cowardly and gave preference to those that gave him the most money. The Toronto Rwandan community refused his offer to speak at their convention back in 2019 I believe. Most of his character in the movie is total fabrication. I mean how could anyone know at that point? Took years of investigating to discover all of this.
Fascinating to see the everyday, wheeler-dealer, businessman-at-the-interface skills Paul is going to have to use less than a week later, over and over again, to save several hundred lives. People who think they're gonna survive the end times by stocking up on guns and canned soup, take note. Your only chance is communitarianism and some morally gray negotiating skills. God, it's also just so so so sad, how fuses get lit by clueless foreign plutocrats and truly horrifying local plutocrats, and dynamite everything. As if on a regular freaking schedule.
I remember when I saw this scene, when the machetes dropped, I thought "....Oh shit." Because I had read about the Rwandan genocide before and knew that machetes was one of the weapons used in the massacre.
They do mention him being on the radio but I suspect that was someone else, maybe Kantano Habimana. He was the leading presenter for the station and was known for his humor.
Rutaganda was a founder of RTLM Radio, but was not a prominent presenter on the radio station, Rutaganda was more like the General at the front actively taking part in the killings unlike other high-ranking individuals in the power structure in Rwanda at the time.
Most likely it would have, though, I wouldn't count out it still happening because Rwanda was and is still very irrelevant to the United States interests wise. Somalia was because it was at the Horn of Africa, near the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, which is a major trade route as it contains the Suez Canal.
Btw there are other candidates for black Hitler, such as Desaline, the “emperor” of Haiti who ordered all whites to be killed and all blacks to participate
Those are machetes which were used to murder Tutsi captives during the genocide. It’s like in late 18th century France guillotines were used for executions. Or electrocution chairs are used currently in the US. Imagine if a big shipment broke open accidently and countless guillotines or electrocution chairs spilled out. It would look unsettling to many because it would make them think of the people who are about to be killed.
Finally Rusesabagina will get the chance to explain why he murdered those innocent people. They had never done or even said anything to him or about him, but he still showed them no mercy. Some details from google: “Two dead in armed attack in Nyaruguru District”
It wasnt just the Belgians and Germans. The Hutu and Tutsi divide was always there, the colonialists just worked with one group at another's expense, as invaders tend to do.
Free speech absolutists should consider the role those radio stations played in the genocide Absolute free speech without responsibility can be dangerous
The answer isn't less speech. The answer is more speech in a marketplace of ideas. There is a burden of responsibility on others to not take that speech seriously.
@thegoldenarm6422 That is the problem with the idea of "the only way to stop bad speech is with good speech" because ultimately it is the burden of others to not take that speech seriously. A larger marketplace of speech is only as good as the people who take in that speech, and free speech or not people are largely just going to take in what appeals to them. The free speech absolutist ideas are not really preventative in that respect. The only way to stop bad speech from causing shit like this is ultimately to regulate that bad speech, preventing it from reaching any sort of wide audience. This is especially true because it's hard to drown out the hate speech because hate speech unfortunately tends to be the loudest speech, the most emotionally manipulative speech.
Man this opening is so happy, I can't see anything going wrong for these characters.

Those who were able to flee the country did so. They continued to flee in the 1960s. Others stayed put but they continued to suffer disappearances. People were regularly reported missing."

The Belgian administration remained in place for several more years until 1962; it remained in charge of security forces even after 1962 and kept up its anti-Tutsi campaign all along, which culminated eventually into the 1994 episode.
Note that by formal agreement between the Vatican and Belgium, the Catholic clergy in Rwanda was essentially part of the colonial administration. The relationship was especially close because Catholicism was the official religion of the Belgian Kingdom. With the help of colonial officials almost all Rwandans had already been converted to Catholicism by the 1950s. This placed the clergy in a strong position of authority in the country.
The general divide goes way back before the Germans and Belgians, but it wasn't a rivalry. They lived in a cohesive society. The Hutu and Tutsi were rather general social castes, with the Hutus being the peasant farmers and the Tutsis running the government, and not necessarily racial groups before Europeans came. The reason why I say this is because prior to colonization by Germany and Belgium, many Hutus were in the nobility, and many Tutsis were also peasants. This divide we see which caused the genocide is one of race, which was brought over by Europeans.
Can't believe this man will be a "war machine"
COHIBAAAA a fantastic cigar !!!
AY AY POOT DAT BACK... POOT DAT BACK, DAT'S NAWT BEEYAH!

What a cheerful opening i really hope the tutsis dont get mass killed!
I'm always glad to see you Paul.
@Tabitha J Yes, well at least he is likely going to be going to court for it. On top of that most of the story about him is false. I guess he was quite cowardly and gave preference to those that gave him the most money. The Toronto Rwandan community refused his offer to speak at their convention back in 2019 I believe. Most of his character in the movie is total fabrication. I mean how could anyone know at that point? Took years of investigating to discover all of this.
Its funny how the Belgians didn't take charge and fix the mess they started.
Really not many European powers did.
This movie was a nightmare..
When I saw those machetes, creepy music aside, I felt sick to my stomach.
Wow, Howard Stern was pretty dark when he changed formats that week...
Fun part the present president is Tutsi 😂
Fascinating to see the everyday, wheeler-dealer, businessman-at-the-interface skills Paul is going to have to use less than a week later, over and over again, to save several hundred lives. People who think they're gonna survive the end times by stocking up on guns and canned soup, take note. Your only chance is communitarianism and some morally gray negotiating skills. God, it's also just so so so sad, how fuses get lit by clueless foreign plutocrats and truly horrifying local plutocrats, and dynamite everything. As if on a regular freaking schedule.
I remember when I saw this scene, when the machetes dropped, I thought "....Oh shit."
Because I had read about the Rwandan genocide before and knew that machetes was one of the weapons used in the massacre.
Chinese companies reported that several Rwandan groups were ordering large amounts of machetes months before the genocide
Those machetes are nice!!
This movie is good
Eh Mariya we, ha!
Nta nzoga y’UMUGOMBA nkinywa ha!
Nzinywera biyeri gusa ha!

Only took 4 minutes for the machetes to come out.😂
Love africa.❤
Should have opened with the hotel California rift tbh
A pro Hutu song
Why does George Rutaganda have a much lighter voice over the radio broadcasting?
They do mention him being on the radio but I suspect that was someone else, maybe Kantano Habimana. He was the leading presenter for the station and was known for his humor.
Rutaganda was a founder of RTLM Radio, but was not a prominent presenter on the radio station, Rutaganda was more like the General at the front actively taking part in the killings unlike other high-ranking individuals in the power structure in Rwanda at the time.
0:50: And the RPF won. Score one for Paul.
Hey....HEY, put that back, it’s not beer!
We all know your Tutsi dube lol
Lazy Fruit ...who
The guy driving Pauls hotel van
Yes, he was. Infact the people in the rally identified him in the later scene. Paul actually saved him from the mob
Can someone please name the song at 1:09
Umqombothi by Yvonne Chaka Chaka
Or simply search African Beer Song
Homie has a nice shirt on.
Look at that, not a cell phone in sight. People just living in the moment.
This could be funnier :/
🤣 i don't get that whole carlsberg/Heineken schtick, its always been available in my country at a price not that much above domestic beer.
It's time for you to join your people...then the cutlasses.
Boom! Your looking for this?!
It is worth more than 10000 francs.
you have to include shipping and handling.
Clever.
Plus the bribes coz that regime wasn’t only genocidal but also deeply corrupt.
If only black hawk down never happened maybe this would have been stopped
Most likely it would have, though, I wouldn't count out it still happening because Rwanda was and is still very irrelevant to the United States interests wise. Somalia was because it was at the Horn of Africa, near the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, which is a major trade route as it contains the Suez Canal.
@@taiwandxt6493 you are so stupid you make Somalians look intelligent and that is nearly impossible to do
This movie is Hollywood, does not tell the truth about Paul. Well connected who took advantage of circumstances
Pls how and were will I get the full version of this movie? Thank you

Oh hell yeah
why this video we dont want to remember that evil people we live at house of exile because of this people still we feel pain
What’s the song in the opening, I used to hear that song so often as a child.
Cetus It’s by Yvone Chaka.
It’s called African beer
Dark matter Hafnium Actually it's called "umqombothi" which MEANS African beer.
Whoever they quoted in the beginning really deserves the title "black hitler."
Not Hitler, Göbbels
Btw there are other candidates for black Hitler, such as Desaline, the “emperor” of Haiti who ordered all whites to be killed and all blacks to participate
Anyone remember when this movie was on MyNetworkTV in 2010?? 😏😝
Where can i buy these bargains from china? I want to get at least 60.
3:37 what is the significance of this? It has been so long since I've seen the movie that I can't remember what this meant.
Those are machetes which were used to murder Tutsi captives during the genocide. It’s like in late 18th century France guillotines were used for executions. Or electrocution chairs are used currently in the US. Imagine if a big shipment broke open accidently and countless guillotines or electrocution chairs spilled out. It would look unsettling to many because it would make them think of the people who are about to be killed.
Please can tell me the song is been a while I hear it
What is the song when he is driving
umqombothi
_"Hotel Rwanda’s Rusesabagina Deserves Prison"._ The National Interest, February 15, 2021
Finally Rusesabagina will get the chance to explain why he murdered those innocent people. They had never done or even said anything to him or about him, but he still showed them no mercy. Some details from google: “Two dead in armed attack in Nyaruguru District”
Hutu is from Nigeria
Can somebody tell me how much 10k Rwandan franks was before the genocide?
10 usd
What is this intro song
Umqombothi
চন্দ্রবিন্দু ফ্যান কেউ?
It wasnt just the Belgians and Germans. The Hutu and Tutsi divide was always there, the colonialists just worked with one group at another's expense, as invaders tend to do.
3:34 EY- AY! PUT DAT BAC DAS NOT BEEAR!
Free speech absolutists should consider the role those radio stations played in the genocide
Absolute free speech without responsibility can be dangerous
The answer isn't less speech. The answer is more speech in a marketplace of ideas.
There is a burden of responsibility on others to not take that speech seriously.
@thegoldenarm6422 That is the problem with the idea of "the only way to stop bad speech is with good speech" because ultimately it is the burden of others to not take that speech seriously. A larger marketplace of speech is only as good as the people who take in that speech, and free speech or not people are largely just going to take in what appeals to them. The free speech absolutist ideas are not really preventative in that respect. The only way to stop bad speech from causing shit like this is ultimately to regulate that bad speech, preventing it from reaching any sort of wide audience. This is especially true because it's hard to drown out the hate speech because hate speech unfortunately tends to be the loudest speech, the most emotionally manipulative speech.
