Paul Kagame (President of Rwanda from 2000) who speaks about justice and reconciliation, Panos Moumtzis (Spokesman for the UNHCR) who speaks about the hierarchies and systems in the camps, several Red Cross Doctors who talk about the living conditions in the camps and the lack of medical supplies, Hutu elders who deny propagating fear among the refugees, several officials, including Capt. Ian Johnson (UN Assistance Mission in Rwanda), Evode Kazasmako (Ministry of Rehabilitation), David Rawson (U.S. Ambassador to Rwanda), Lt. Col.
