Abstract
Colonel Rusatira accuses the secret organization "Amasasu" for ordering the atrocities in Kigali. Along with other senior officers, Colonels Gatsinzi and Rwabalinda, he met with Defense Minister Augustin Bizimana on the afternoon of April 9, 1994 to ask him to condemn the atrocities and dismantle the group committing them. He asks the United States to encourage a French or Belgian intervention to stop the escalation of the fighting and protect the Rwandans. He claims that the President's death was the necessary provocation to trigger a long-devised plan.
