KIGALI, Oct. 13 (Xinhuanet) -- The director of the Prosecution Department in the Rwanda National Police, Emmanuel Bayingana, has said that the wave of genocidal tendencies among some individuals in the country has reached alarming levels, a state-run newspaper reported Wednesday.

    "We are currently going through difficult times, and we need the help of everybody. We have huge files of cases which I could not believe were true. But by carrying out investigations, you find that they are actually true. These things are a reality, the ideologies have not gone away, they are still with us and that is why we need to fight them together," Bayingana said.

    He attributed the ideologies to individuals who have not been able to cope with the changes that are currently taking place, and noted that, "these are the people who live in the times when killing and corruption were not punishable."

    The report also highlighted some students who were involved in a plot to poison their fellow students, who are Tutsis.

    In Rwanda, the 1994 genocide, of which a Hutu extremist militiagroup was believed to be at the core, claimed lives of about 800,000 Tutsis and moderate in nearly 100 days. Enditem
