About the Speaker

Judi
Rever
Canadian journalist and author
Judi Rever is a Canadian investigative reporter, distinguished as one of the rare international journalists who witnessed — and extensively probed — the mass atrocities of Rwandan dictator Paul Kagame’s army in the Great Lakes of Africa. She is the author of “In Praise of Blood: The Crimes of the Rwandan Patriotic Front” and a thought leader on how the global economy’s need for cheap minerals to power technology keeps Paul Kagame in power. The evidence Rever has uncovered challenges deep-rooted dogma on the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, and despite enduring numerous threats, she remains one of the most clear-eyed experts on Kagame’s crimes.
