SHYAKA ANASTAS

800,000 Rwandans were murdered with machetes and shovels less than 20 years before. The ethnic genocide was triggered by various hate speech in rallies and over the radio. This type of speech was made illegal in Rwanda, not unlike Germany, Turkey, Israel, Singapore, and many other solid democracies but they do not have as strong a protection of free speech as in America.
