ABSTRACT
People who commit the crime of genocide rarely show remorse. Those guilty of the genocide of the Tutsi of Rwanda are no exception. Instead, they weave a web of deceit to try to prove that events have been misinterpreted, that the victim is to blame, or even to claim the killings were self-defense. The roadblocks were an essential part of a pre-formulated plan, an effective and efficient part of the killing mechanism used to prevent escape. The number of bodies at each roadblock depended on how many Tutsi lived in each particular area. Up until the second week an uncountable number of bodies were spread all over the roads and the gutters, and to such an extent that the trucks that came and loaded the bodies with the help of released prisoners were greatly overloaded. After the tipper trucks had collected the bodies, the killers went off to the secondary roads for most of their murders.
