It was founded in 1990 by [[Hassan Ngeze]] and sponsored by the far-right [[MRND]]. People in Rwanda generally regarded it as a vehicle for president [[Juvénal Habyarimana]] to test out ideas, although ''Kangura'' often criticized Habyarimana and his concessions to the [[Rwandan Patriotic Front]]. ''Kangura'' is considered the paper equivalent of [[Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines]], which also played a role in inciting the genocide by stirring up ethnic tensions. While ''Kangura'' did not directly cause the genocide, headlines such as the one above called for Hutus to rise against ethnic Tutsis and many copies of ''Kangura ''were distributed at [[Interahamwe]] rallies in the lead-up to the genocide. Eventually, ''Kangura ''became a mouthpiece for the [[Coalition for the Defence of the Republic]], advocating often for an [[ethnostate]] and deeming Hutus who associated with Tutsis "traitors". By the time of the genocide, ''Kangura ''had stopped publishing.
