    Hutu Paul Rusesabagina manages the Hôtel des Mille Collines and lives a happy life with his Tutsi wife and their three children, but when Hutu military forces initiate a campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Tutsi minority, Paul is compelled to allow refugees to take shelter in his hotel. As the U.N. pulls out, Paul must struggle alone to protect the Tutsi refugees in the face of the escalating violence later known as the Rwandan genocide.

      Yup. Had a friend who was in the Canadian Army, he was a Combat Engineer. He told me of his experience of his UN Mission in Cambodia, UNTAC 1992. After that experience he told me that he would never go on a UN Mission ever again.

    I just realized just how difficult it is to be a UN peacekeeping force. Thry are essentially the (oftentimes) unwanted third party intervenor between two opposing parties caught in physical fights. Anyone who knew someone who breaks up fights or is the one who breaks up fights will know that sort of experience: being beaten by both parties for having the audacity to meddle in their business while trying to stop it. Imagine the two parties fighting each other as two factions caught in civil war and the fights are fights with dradly weapons. The UN peacekeeping forces (as the unwanted third party intervenor) has the dubious honor of being at risk of its soldiers being injured or killed in the line of duty. No wonder they are not allowed to do more than passively protect blue zones: they really don't want the bad press that some of their soldiers got killed for intervening to stop a violent war happening...

      The macabre answer is it would be better to let these conflicts sort themselves out like they did in the past. The UN just drags them out and prolongs the instability of the region.

      In Rwanda the enemy for the UN was cowardice and the Belgians. If the Belgians werent such cowards and abandoned the mission, the remaining UN Forces may have had a chance. However, overt historical hatred between Dallaire (Dutch-Canadian) and the Belgians was severe.

      There are some UN Peacekeeper forces, such as Nordbat when they were assigned to missions in Bosnia, who would turn off their radios so they didn't have to acknowledge orders to not get involved. That's how frustratingly insane the mission is sometimes.

    I remember in high school watching a movie about the Rwanda genocide. Not Hotel Rwanda, but a story more focused on Romeo Dallaire, it was called “Shake Hands with the Devil”. It really highlighted just how insane the situation was. Bodies after bodies in the streets, the open feeling of murder at every corner, the helplessness of the UN peacekeepers

    • @buttbuttson737
      @buttbuttson737 21 день тому

      The military was technically against the genocide, and at the very least they knew better than to attack UN personnel. They weren't going to let the Interahamwe attack a UN convoy, even if they wanted to.

    • @InternaIRevenueService

      I dont remember the specifics, but I remember that early on, not too long after the presidents plane was shot down Radio Kigali was taken over by the Hutus and used it to to call for mass killings of Tutsi as well as using it to coordinate mob attacks. At one point in his book, romeo recounts a time when he overheard one of the radio announcers placing a bounty on "the white officer with a moustache"
      As for why the Interahmwe shot the Rwandan? The Interahamwe was at best a "militia" but more realistically just untrained loyalists, freely handed out guns. No trraining, no vetting. Rwanda and its governemnt esseitnally collapsed overnight, and the entire country turning into a powergrab by the military officers and rebel leaders.
      Compound that with decades of ethnic tension between the Hutus and Tutsi and it turned into the literal genocide.

      The UN peacekeepers in Rwanda were led by Canadian general Romeo Dalliare. He is a hero who did his best to prevent the genocide, but unfortunately and tragically, UN red tape and bureaucracy prevented him and the UN peacekeepers under his command, many of them Canadians, from stopping it.
