One of the main '' animatrices '' of RTLM , Bemeriki frequently read out names and addresses of alleged " RPF accomplices " , inciting targeted violence and often murder on the named individuals by groups such as the Impuzamugambi and Interahamwe militias . Bemeriki 's style of presenting was representative of RTLM 's overall hateful rhetoric , used alongside a colloquial type of tongue-in-cheek humor . On April 8 , 1994 , two days after the assassination of Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana , Bemeriki ironically noted on air that opposition members of the previous government " could not be found " , while several , such as prime minister Agathe Uwilingiyimana had already been murdered . Based on an encounter at an interview at the offices of RTLM , Roméo Dallaire , the Force Commander of UNAMIR , has described Bemeriki as " very aggressive " . On June 28 , 1994 , over a month after the interview , Bemeriki stated on-air that " Dallaire is the basis of this war "
