Comment
In his book Le Monde, un contre-pouvoir?, Jean-Paul Gouteux notes that this drawing represents Vice-President Paul Kagame, recognizable by his glasses and disguised in the fashion of South American soldiers, holding a bloody machete behind his back. He hypocritically holds out his hand to a pool of blood, supposedly representing the Hutu ("combatants" and civilians) massacred by "the Rwandan Patriotic Army (APR) with a Tutsi majority" to use the terms of the article by Jean Hélène that this drawing illustrates.
