Here’s the backstory on CNN’s @CAmanpour show on Rusesabagina. It's important to understand what gets on the show & what doesn'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't want to do it without giving an opportunity to the PRESIDENT to respond (like it'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's too much for @CAmanpour, no deviation allowed on set narrative of Rwanda/its President. 4/5 https://twitter.com/AFP/status/1309426985563762690

That'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's about them, not us. Voilà, that's Amanpour for you. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/09/26/africa/paul-rusesabagina-rwanda-court-intl/index.html 5/5
