Ruaidhrí Gilla Dubh Ó Seachnasaigh (died 1569) was an Irish Knight and Chief of the Name. He is known in English as Sir Roger O'Shaughnessy. The son of Sir Diarmaid Ó Seachnasaigh, Ruaidhrí was described by Sir Henry Sidney as "a very obedient and civil man, and most desirous to hold his lands directly of your majesty and to be delivered of the exactions of both the earls of Clanricarde and Thomond", whose earldoms lay north and south of O'Shaughnessy's small lordship. The oppressions of Burke and O'Brien had led to his father consenting to the policy of surrender and regrant, by which means Sir Roger hoped to preserve his estates for his descendants.

According to the Gersony Report, RENAMO's transgressions were far more systematic, widespread and grave than FRELIMO's: the refugees interviewed for the Gersony Report attributed 94% of the murders, 94% of the abductions and 93% of the lootings to RENAMO.Gersony 1988, p.34-36. However, this conclusion has been disputed by the French Marxist scholar Michel Cahen, who states that both sides were equally to blame: > There can be no doubt that the war was largely one fought against > civilians... I am also convinced that the war was equally savage on both > sides, even if the total domination of the media by FRELIMO for the 15 years > of the war has led even those most desirous of remaining objective to > attribute the majority of the atrocities to RENAMO. The people themselves > were not duped: they attributed various acts of banditry and certain > massacres to "RENAMO 1," but others to "RENAMO 2" – the euphemistic term for > FRELIMO soldiers and militiamen acting on their own.
