“You cannot imagine how much the presidents of the entire world hate each other.”
Boubacar Boris Diop, Kaveena

“In my heart of hearts I knew I was wrong. The World Cup was about to begin in the United States. The planet was interested in nothing else. And in any case, whatever happened in Rwanda, it would always be the same old story of blacks beating up on each other. Even Africans would say, during half-time of every match, “They’re embarrassing us, they should stop killing each other like that.” Then they’ll go on to something else. [9-10]”
Boubacar Boris Diop, Murambi. The Book of Bones

“I don't listen to the radio to find out what's happened. I listen to it to find out how the happenings have been distorted.”
Boubacar Boris Diop, Kaveena
