  • For a young Canadian general, Romeo Dallaire's assignment as commander of the U.N. peacekeeping force in Rwanda in 1994 was a heady opportunity.
    Animated by humanitarian ideals and a belief in the international system, he went forth with energy, enthusiasm, and expectations of success. Soon his hopeful confidence was shattered. The brutality, cynicism, corruption and disinterest he saw doomed the mission and left him with regret and suicidal despair. This is his story.
    Originally aired on January 24, 2005.

    Great interview, enhanced by the fact that Dallaire was allowed to talk and not interrupted constantly.

      At the time I was serving a UN mission while in the US Army, and believe me when I say we all wanted to kick the UN off the planet. We could have jumped in there and put an end to the genocide within a day.

    I watched it today because I am currently doing a lot of research about Rwanda after I read the news on Thursday 27/9/2024 regarding the Marburg outbreak in Kigali. I watched "Shooting Dogs" and "Hotel Rwanda" yesterday.

    Great General. Humanity failed because it was Africa. They even failed to recognize it as a genocide even though it was one. Rwanda was abandoned because they saw it as tribal conflict but spent billions of dollars in Yugoslavia. This is racism.

    One of the most haunting page turning books i have ever read. Absolutely, shockingly detailed. I read the entire book in 3 days when not at work. I coulndt put it down. All the UN ministers invovled should have been thrown in jail. And the shocking behaivour of the belgian and french leadership, not there soldiers there on the ground, should have led to arrests and overhauls of leadership.
    Its anstonishing how Mr. Kagame and the countries citizens have been able to right Rwanda since genocide took place.

    Standing up for what is truely right is rare, even rarer when it really counts, - like you could be personally impacted, and even die. Jesus Christ said: No greater love has a man than to lay down his life for his friend. Rhetorec can sound so grand, (UN speak) the realities are some what different.
