Here’s the backstory on CNN’s @CAmanpour show on Rusesabagina. It& #39;s important to understand what gets on the show & what doesn& #39;t. There’s no point in hiding this process when all they really want is to drive their hateful narrative of Rwanda. THREAD. 1/5

@CAmanpour show reaches out, it’s about Rusesabagina & wouldn& #39;t want to do it without giving an opportunity to the PRESIDENT to respond (like it& #39;s a favour). Not possible of course. Let us know who you’ll have on & we’ll give you GoR pov. They’re cagey about the other guest. 2/5

They finally unleash mystery guest: Anjan Sundaram, master fraudster. We provide a GoR statement. Dr Odette Nyiramilimo was ready to go on @CAmanpour. No one knows Rusesabagina better. She & her family shared a room at Hotel Mille Collines with the Rusesabagina family. 3/5

Nyiramilimo is depicted in Hotel Rwanda like Rusesabagina. She’s spoken about his arrest. No one has more facts/moral authority than her, a direct witness. That& #39;s too much for @CAmanpour, no deviation allowed on set narrative of Rwanda/its President. 4/5 https://twitter.com/AFP/status/1309426985563762690">https://twitter.com/AFP/statu...

That& #39;s how @camanpour gets fraudster Anjan, and only him, to speak for Rwanda. It’s not really about Rusesabagina, who on that very day admitted to leading armed attacks on Rwandans villages. It& #39;s about them, not us. Voilà, that& #39;s Amanpour for you. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/09/26/africa/paul-rusesabagina-rwanda-court-intl/index.html">https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/... 5/5
