1946

Bernard Lugan (born 10 May 1946) is a French historian who specialises in African history.

He is a professor at the Institut des hautes études de défense nationale (IHEDN) and the editor of the journal L'Afrique réelle ("Real Africa").

Bernard Lugan was born in Meknes on 10 May 1946.

During the May 1968 events, he was the head of Action Française's security personnel.

1970

Lugan moved to Africa in the early 1970s where he conducted archaeological research in Rwanda.

1972

From 1972, he taught African history at the National University of Rwanda.

1976

Lugan attended Paris X University Nanterre and earned a PhD in history in 1976 after a thesis on Rwandan economy in the 19th century.

1978

The results were published in Études Rwandaises and Tervuren between 1978 and 1983.

1982

In June 1982, Lugan left Rwanda and became an associate professor of African history at Jean Moulin University Lyon 3.

1983

In 1983, Lugan authored another thesis for a state doctorate, Between the servitudes of the hoe and the spells of the cow: the rural world in ancient Rwanda.

1988

In 1988, he received the M. et Mme Louis Marin prize from the Académie Française for his book The French People Who Made South Africa. In September 1993, he founded the review L'Afrique Réelle, which has been described as a supporter of "Boers-Afrikaners" in South Africa.

Lugan has also been involved with far-right news outlets like Minute, National-Hebdo or Présent, which regard him as a specialist of African history.

1990

In the 1990–2000s, several media and personalities have been condemned for libel for calling Lugan a "genocide denier" or a "supporter of apartheid".

He is in favour of the re-establishment of dueling for libel and public insult, and founded in 1990 with Vladimir Volkoff an association to promote this agenda.

1994

Following the Rwandan genocide of 1994, Lugan served an expert witness at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.

He was cited by several Hutu defendants ultimately convicted for their involvement in the genocide, including Théoneste Bagosora, Tharcisse Renzaho and Emmanuel Ndindabahizi.

Although he does not deny the existence or downplay the figures of the genocide, Lugan controversially claims that the events were not "programmed" by the Hutu leadership, and that president Juvénal Habyarimana was not assassinated by Hutu extremists.

2001

At the 2001 World Conference against Racism, Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade publicly labelled Lugan's work a form of "intellectual racism" and accused him of minimizing the contributions of Black people to the history of Africa in his research.

Lugan is a self-declared monarchist.

When testifying at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, Lugan admitted that he is a right-wing anarchist, adding: "of musketeer leaning".

2015

Lugan previously taught at Jean Moulin University Lyon 3 and at the special military school of Saint-Cyr until 2015.

He served as an expert witness for Hutu defendants involved in the Rwandan genocide at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.

2017

Lugan is also a member of the National Council of European Resistance, launched in November 2017 and presided by Renaud Camus.

Lugan's notable work includes several books on Southern Africa, Morocco and Rwanda including "History of South Africa", When Africa was German and African Legacy, Solutions for a Community in Crisis where he describes how individualism hasn't replaced preexisting loyalties to clans, groups, and tribes.

In this book, he rejects what he calls "the victimization paradigm," which says colonial exploitation and the slave trade brought Africa to its knees, rejects solutions based on Western guilt and claim that a correct interpretation of history is necessary for Africans to "build a future on a more solid foundation" and save an African continent ravaged by famine, economic disaster and civil war.

He notably proposes a redrawing of national African frontiers in accordance with ethnic groupings and promotes a new type of democracy, more rooted in those native groupings rather than on Western "one man one vote" system.
