What are your plans for April 7th?

Remembering Rwanda: The 10th Anniversary Memorial Project


My opinion of Kofi Annan has risen slightly.

But I still think that LGen Romeo Dallaire has pretty much hit the nail on the head in this BBC article:


The head of the small UN peacekeeping force in Rwanda at the time, Lieutenant General Romeo Dallaire, told the conference that no-one was interested in saving Rwandans and the bulk of his force was ordered to leave.

He suggested that attitudes now had not changed.

"I still believe that if an organisation decided to wipe out the 320 mountain gorillas there would be still more of a reaction by the international community to curtail or to stop that than there would be still today in attempting to protect thousands of human beings being slaughtered in the same country."



If you don't go to any other links in this post, at least please go to this one: Witness to Genocide: Drawings by child survivors of Rwandan genocide

Lastly, it looks like news of the Rwanda genocide has finally reached Hollywood
