1961)[1] is a radio station of the Rwandan Broadcasting Agency, a public broadcaster that also owns Rwandan Television, Magic FM, and other public radio stations.
In March 1992, Radio Rwanda began to broadcast false information regarding the possible assassination of Hutu officials, after which many Tutsis were consequently killed in the Bugesera region.
When the transitional government was installed in April 1992, it demanded a programming change of the radio by President Habyarimana.
This preserved the transitional government's role in the state radio, but stopped that of the president's party, the National Republican Movement for Democracy and Development.
Radio Télévision Libre frequently made hateful statements against the Tutsis, and several of its journalists were eventually convicted of inciting genocide.
