Liberation Diary: the attack on Ruhengeri and release of political and other prisoners

The 1990-94 struggle to liberate Rwanda, launched by the Rwanda Patriotic Army, a military wing of the RPF-Inkotanyi, was characterised by many tribulations, with the killing of top commanders–including the first Chairman of the High Command–in the early days of the attack, and the prowess exhibited by his successor, Paul Kagame, who successfully commanded the front to the end.
