The Iraqi soldiers rounding up young Sunni men and sending them to prison to be brutalized, sowing the seeds of the civil war only a year down the road from this sweltering night, full of the smell of baking honeybread.

Partisan night raid of which I have no memory. There were so many nights like this. The Iraqi soldiers rounding up young Sunni men and sending them to prison to be brutalized, sowing the seeds of the civil war only a year down the road from this sweltering night, full of the smell of baking honeybread.

Photographs by Andrew Lewis. The Pecusa family is Hopi and Pima from the village of Bacavi on the Hopi Reservation in northeastern Arizona. Their immediate family has been farming in the area for at least four generations. Before them, ancestral people farmed their land intermittently for nearly a thousand years. The Pecusa family farms in a largely traditional manner, using little farm machinery and employing ancient dry land farming practices that allow them to grow corn in an arid environment that receives only eight to twelve inches of rain per year.

She is followed by Kantano who mockingly sings a song about the Inkotanyi having all perished. Kantano gives some of the local news from Kigali and targets several sectors and communes as areas where conflicts have taken place. As he targets areas like Nyamirambo he comments that the "Inyenzi" are committing suicide. He also refers to the current war as the "final" one. Kantano then announces that the imminent arrival of French troops to intervene against the "suicidal Ugandans and suicidal extremists Tutsis." He criticizes Kagame's tactics and tells the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) leader that he has done nothing but sow seeds of hatred for the Inkotanyi. Ruggiu ends the broadcasts with the beginning of an interview with George France Hategekimana about the impending French intervention.
