His comments have attracted strong criticism in Rwanda. On 6 April 2006, Kagame suggested, " should try his talents elsewhere and not climb on the falsehood of being a hero, because it's totally false". Francois Xavier Ngarambe, the president of Ibuka, the umbrella body of survivors' associations for the genocide, said of Rusesabagina, "he has hijacked heroism. He is trading with the genocide. He should be charged." Terry George, the director of "Hotel Rwanda", characterized the comment as part of a smear campaign.
