The National Commission for the Fight against Genocide (CNLG), on Tuesday, June 9 revealed how the genocidal government approved "strong measures" to accelerate the so-called "auto-defense civile" programme 26 years ago.

Among others, Prime Minister Jean Kambanda's government, spent up to Rwf50 million (which is now approximately Rwf 150m) in the acceleration of the massacre of the Tutsi through the so-called 'civil defence programme'.

According to the Commission, one of the highlights of the Genocide against the Tutsi in June 1994, on the side of the criminal government, was to look for ways to get more people involved in the killings through the programme.

As noted, the June 9, 1994 diary of the then Minister of Local Government, Edouard Karemera shows that on this date the Government meeting convened to assess the use of Rwf50 million which had been disbursed by the Government in the context of implementing Prime Minister Jean Kambanda's instructions of May 25, 1994 on the expedition of the Genocide.

According to CNLG, the evidence found in the resolutions of the June 09, 1994 meeting shows how Kambanda's Government implemented the massacre of Tutsi throughout the country.
