Keith Harmon Snow has extensive experience in Africa as a journalist, photographer and genocide investigator who attended the International Criminal Tribunal on Rwanda. He joins us today to discuss the 20th anniversary of the “100 days” and how the true story of the genocide (and who was really behind it) has been completely inverted by politicians, the press, Hollywood and everyone else with a vested interest in what happened there.

An important side issue of this piece is that the MSM will never call a conflict “class warfare”, where it actually is class warfare (not the phony Republican talking point type). I was reading an article about an African conflict many years ago in Time magazine and apparently the editors had not had time to fully rewrite the body of the article. The body of the article stated in emphatic graphic detailed terms that it was a class conflict, rich vs poor. But the final paragraph, written in that inimical Time magazine style, said, in effect, “and thus this is another religious war, Christians vs Muslims.”
That is an interesting tidbit and a good observation. If you ever do come across that Time article again I’d be interested to see it.

I think revisiting this topic would be ideal given that the new wave of violence occurring in the DRCongo was covered in your most recent “New World Next Week.” James P made the connection to a new mining policy taking place in the country and I don’t think enough people (including myself) have an understanding about how resource extraction is taking place in Sub-Sahara Africa and how tribal conflicts are being capitalized to achieve it.
Excellent suggestion. One note: Harmon Snow makes it clear that “tribal conflict” is a simplification to the point of being false. It is a class conflict. The old oikos-onomy which is government and capital BOTH.

Thanks for the response, I will definitely do more research on my own terms by checking out more of Snow’s work. The idea of this being a form of class conflict instead of tribal or religious conflicts is something that peaks my interest even more.
