"Ghosts of Rwanda" 4/19/11

  • Gromo Alex- part of UN Humanitarian team
  • Captain Mbaye Djang
  • Hotel Mille Collines- safe haven
  • General Dallaire started to secure football stadiums for people to go- another safe haven
  • RPF didn't want UN to save them or their own people- what do you do when the leaders of the rebel army (the ones who are being slaughtered) are saying don't save us?
  • Unarmed civilians saved thousands of people so imagine what the government could have done- 2 UN officers saved people in the church just by refusing to let the Hutus to go in; Wilkens went up to Prime Minister himself and asked him not to kill the orphans- PM listened
  • Captain Mbaye Djang killed
