'''Noël | '''Noël Hitimana''' (born Nyamirambo) was a presenter (''animateur'') on the Rwandan radio station Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM), which played a significant role in promoting the genocide against the Tutsi. Like the station's other broadcasters, Hitimana incited violence against Tutsi on the air. | ||
Prior to his employment at RTLM, Hitimana worked for state-owned Radio Rwanda and the ''Rwanda Bureau of Information and Broadcasting'' from the late 1970s until the early 1990s. During that time, he became popular by routinely greeting the different regions and towns of Rwanda in the early morning, while farmers were waking to work in the fields. This broadcast segment emphasized both the importance of hard work, community and the nationalistic views of the ruling National Republican Movement for Democracy and Development (MRND). Allegedly an drunk, Hitimana was fired from Radio Rwanda after insulting Rwandan President Juvénal Habyarimana on-air while intoxicated. | Prior to his employment at RTLM, Hitimana worked for state-owned Radio Rwanda and the ''Rwanda Bureau of Information and Broadcasting'' from the late 1970s until the early 1990s.
