This chapter shows the evolution of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) from its formation until today and focuses on their role in the 1994 genocide. The rebel group’s past has left marks, according to the author who argues that under the rhetoric and international praise, the RPF continues to violate human rights in Rwanda and interfere in the affairs of its neighbors. These actions are legitimized by conceptions of security and insecurity informed by Rwanda’s violent history. The RPF successfully transitioned from its status as a rebel group to that of a legitimate power holder, however, albeit it remains unaccountable and unchallenged domestically and internationally.
