What is propaganda? How can a government try to influence people? When do we see propaganda in our lives?

They demand an end to identity cards and ethnic persecution. General Paul Kagame, leader of the RPF changes tactics and pursues a campaign of guerrilla warfare.

"What does it say?" "Someone's killed Habyaramina." We demand that our Hutu brothers do not let these crimes go unpunished. Raise yourselves, our brothers. Raise yourselves and work! Get your tools and raise your clubs! It's time to eradiate the cancer race. Look for them everywhere.
