Very sad to think how many victims had to suffer and the millions who were left with cut limbs etc. if the western nations can invade and supposedly "liberate" Libya, they coup easily have done this in a couple of days ad would have saved thousands of lives. Oh wait Rwanda had no oil to offer the western nations. So sorry tough luck fellows you have to fight your own war. Really sad I am not sure how the leaders of that time that decided to turn a blind eye to this genocide are living in their
i hate the fact that nobody had enough courage to make the hard decision and that nobody risked looking bad to help.
having said that i dont like the fact that people are saying if u dont take action u are a coward as it was in this case and i agree with that but when action is takin people flip and change there opinion and view to saying how dare you take action u r just being at war to be at war and hypocrisy starts running rampid.
In all this game, the devil is losing and at the end will be accused of everything because GOD don’t want any rivals. Conclusion: live at the full in the freedom of GOD (praying in a right form, following the INSTRUCTIONS in the Bible - keeping the 10 commandments - including keeping the Saturday as the 7th day etc.) instead of in the incapacity and limited power of devil because he is just a temporary puppet. Jesus Christ is our savior and our hope!
I am sorry, but I just can't keep quiet. Why do the United States GOVERNMENT (not the People) like to always look good in the fucking picture? They kept discussing if the word "genocide" was appropriate or not, while innocent were being killed! If you did nothing during the problem, just shut the fuck up when it finishes because it's too late and you're fucking words of sorrow are uselees. SHAME ON YOU CLINTON ADMINISTRATION, AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A DEMOCRAT, A MAN OF FREEDOM???
Marcus Garvey taught us to unite and improve ourselves as a race of Africans. Until we revisit the philosophy and teachings of Marcus Garvey we are truly pissed!! No more than a handful of any set of people will fall and the US will come running - if their is oil or money interests!!!
While it is true that the international community turned a blind eye. Why is no one asking why the African national leadership was so silent and complicit with this atrocity? Where was Africa when her rivers ran red with the blood of her own people?
I absolutely love these ppl who could have done something (Albright Clinton Kofi)
have the gall to go to Rwanda afterwards cry a few tears lay a few wreaths and say they wish they could have done more PLZ! they hid behind the situcation unclear we did not know etc GBAB! survivors victims families ex patriots video footage jouralists the Red Cross and 1 million ppl hacked to death in 3 months and YOU DIDN"T KNOW!!! BULLSHIT!! YOU DIDN"T CARE!
Ach Clinton you LIAR. "we didn't realize" he STILL doesn't realize, he doesn't give a shit. Even HE passes the buck, every single person in this has passed the buck. They could have saved much more than half they could have saved almost everyone. The Ghana people and that one American man saved hundreds and they didn't even have guns! The Red cross saved thousands and thousands and they didn't have any guns. What could the army who pulled out have done if they had just stayed!
To my fellow Rwandans and Africans in general, we will get better if we can do things with our own hands. I agree with the lack of international intervention, but we (Rwandans) killed other Rwandans whom we shared the same language and culture. I was 4 years old when this happened, but I still can't understand how we killed each other like this. The same things are still happening in Africa: Uganda( LRA), Somalia (Al-Shabab), Nigeria,...I am not even sure if I am proud to be African right now.!!
I don't know, I can't possibly understand what Rwanda has been through, not really, but I think you should be proud to be African and you can build a new Africa.
I think international intervention isn't really the word it would have just been inter-human intervention, it would have been an acknowledgement of the fact that before they are Rwandans or Africans they are human beings, you can't say "not my problem". Nation shouldn't even come into it, we must help each other because we are family.
I guess I wasn't trying to say that I regret to have been born in Africa, but it is always heartbreaking when all you hear about Africa is war, poverty, dictatorships, famine, sanitary diseases,...etc..it hearts so much when others are celebrating their hard-work such as sending large rocket on the galaxy.., while we( Africans) are buying useless guns to kill ourselves..!!
After watching this, i am soo angry. Clinton was a stupid president and how dare you go to Rwanda. After he sat back and watched everything. how dare he pretend to care now. I wish Canada had stepped in. Canada forces would have protected.
when they say interest...they mean they had no monetary interest in helping...if rowanda had oil...they would have been there in heartbeat, dafar is your current genocide, we do not step in because this attack is backed by china, who has oil interest in killing those in that country, and we do not want to confront china..world revolves around money.
My question is how much was known AS the genocide was going on? It's so easy for people to condemn and decry the acts over 16 years AFTER the fact when a clear and concise picture has already been painted of the horrible things that had happened.
Footage and photos don't immediately arrive at the desks of able parties once they are shot or taken...
@June28July Footage of the genocide started becoming available weeks into the genocide.The genocide took place over 3 months from April to June. It is virtually impossible for them not to have seen what the media was reporting. The BBC and Reuters where forerunners in producing footage through out the genocide. A lot WAS known even prior to the start of the genocide the UN,US and Belgium where aware of the situation the country was under.
But what exactly did the footage portray and did this footage reach the desks of able parties? Or were most communications carried out in paper form like it happens in many bureaucracies?
@June28July Just a question have you watched the entire documentary? And what sort of communication do you suggest they should have used? The footage did not need to reach the 'desks' of those able parties. As far as I am concerned the able parties where the UN, USA and Belgium and they where very well informed of what could happen in Rwanda prior to President Juvénal Habyarimana plane being shot down. Their Press Offices not to mention the Belgium and US embassy's.
@June28July Reports obtained under the US Freedom of information act sheds some light and knowledge of the events.Documents where published first by General Dallaire about the magnitude of what was to happen If you go and search THE NATIONAL SECURITY ARCHIVE you will see some documentation.If you can recall General Dallaire was the officer still trying to quell the genocide with limited troops and no help form the UN. On that same page Prudence Bushnell also issued a report.
@June28July The US had done a lot more than fail to recognize what was going on they also lobbied the UN to totally withdraw troops from Rwanda because prior to the genocide in April peace keeping troops had been placed in Rwanda because they feared a civil war. On April 22nd the White house issued a statement to both the Rwandan army and the Rwandan Patriotic front to do all they can to end the violence. Why would the US issue such a statement if they where ill informed of events.
@June28July Further more on May 25th, 2 months into the violence, Clinton had written a letter to Rep. Harry Johnston of Florida about the need for the two parties to come to a cease fire. I am sorry if my earlier post may have come off a bit aggressive but my argument is that footage was not needed. Unlike World war 2 where there rumors and disjointed reports about the massacre of Jews. This was more evident. I can understand that the US where reluctant for a repeat of Mogadishu
@June28July However it doesn't mitigate the fact that they where all well informed and where well in their power to do something. However I stand corrected and I may only see one side due to the fact that my parents where South African missionaries and Aid workers in Rwanda at the time.
Wow, your parents were aid workers there? Wow. But I'd still like to hear the UN's side of the story or more specifically, individuals within the UN who failed to do their job.
@June28July Good point, and your right about the UN.They had the power to do more and request more from different individuals. People tend to put all the blame towards the US however the UN failed largely to do more. They should have come down harder on Belgium who perpetuated the entire race system that was a catalyst and France who had trained small groups of Hutu Militia plus issue more troops. I do believe that 16 days into the violence they started using the word Genocide...
but due to the legal implications they couldn't actually use the word. You should watch a documentary called shake hands with the devil, it might shed some light as to the UN and its failings its on google video if your interested. Yes unfortunately they where, I had to leave (I had just turned 7) but they stayed behind to try and help and there where many foreign civilians(aid workers) who stayed as well.
Also, there might have been some mistaken belief within the UN that the events going on in Rwanda were products of a civil war rather than a genocide and some may have believed photos being published in newspapers were pictures of militia or civilian casualties.
Thank you Paul Kagame for masquerading as saviour of the ppl from genocide you initiated by your selfish , power-hungry assasination of Habyarimana. For you to come out as the saviour in thi is incredible! All this for you to be in power? Never mind 1m dead do not matter to you as long as you rule, thats all that matters! You could have resolved to to civil means but you wanted it all and killing was the easy option. Good for you coz you seem very good at dodging accountability. It is stinky!
i can NOT believe what this woman is saying 0:22...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!.....every time that she speaks in this documentary she don't say ANYTHING...don't even coordinate sentences...she do not focus on the questions....what a piece of shit !!!
there are at least three people deserving prices/medals like medal of honor in this series. But there should be some kind of "golden raspberry award" for politicans / (military dictator[s]hips).. If there is already something like that it should be more popular!
this keeps happening, but only after it's done, everyone claims to be so moral and go and lay flowers. lying sons of bitches. when it's in progress, they don't do a damned thing. it just happened again in darfur, and no leader from the west did anything. "never again" keeps happening, bosnia, rwanda, darfur...
A lot of blame being thrown at the US. Equal blame is called for with the majority falling on the United Nations... and of course the twisted views of the Hutu leaders. A damn shame... the world turned away from this when it was going on, and even to the day no one talks about it. 800,000 deaths and 75,000 views on You Tube... sad..very sad.
Clinton, lets hope God has mercy on your soul. I don't know how these world leaders and politicians can live knowing they turned a blind eye. You have blood on your hands, end of story ! ! ! !
The US Government (or any Western for that matter) is in a no-win situation. If they did act, and they lost say, 10-100-1000 soldiers, would we still feel as if it was worth it to step in ? The land of the Brave and the Free are always the last to be Brave or Free (as per the World Wars and other atrocities they fail to enter into). I understand their 'interest' in their own civilian human life... but when the world cries out, you need to step up. And we did cry.
What the hell? They did nothing except go and step over their dead bodies. These world "leaders", Leading the world to a meaningless state, a deadly state. How can they still SMILE after that? Just wipe that smirk off your stupid faces and let these victims rest in peace.
fuck the UN security council. These people are more interested in defending their own reputations than the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocents. What a waste of human life.....not only the genocide, but the people who stood by and were trying to ignore it
I'm sure if corporate America was being threatened in Rwanda by Hutus then the president would of stepped in. All this BS about legality of it being or not being genocide is a cover up for the truth. Why did we step into Iraq so quickly? Like any other nation-state there had to be some kind of interest, they had to get something in return to spend time and money on saving people. There was nothing to gain in saving people there. F*** all world governments, human life has $0 value in their eyes.
FUCK! why even give them guns. why not lolipops? "good luck on your peacekeeping mission soldiers, here are your lolipops".
how do you keep peace if you cant engage the enemy? that poor prime minister had 10 belgian soldiers in her house! they couldve EASILY had a chance to save her and themselves...but no, they werent allowed to engage the enemy.
and then the belgians pulled out cuz they lost 10 men. 800,000 unarmed rwandans died and they left.
@aqualobster 800,000 peopled ied in the span of only 100 days and these people are arguing about whether or not its genocide?? Mankind has never seen a more efficient mass killing in history.
All the more reason why Governments that have to much power and control are not fit to rule or be in power. It doesn't matter if a government is run by whites, blacks, Asians whatever, all governments that have to much power end up the same way... Killing their own people.
Bill Clinton is a PUSSY and aswell are the UN nations Defense...America the brave my ASS lol Skared of Africans with machetes SERIOUSLY no wonder why USA has'nt intervined in the Drug Cartel Wars going on next door in Mexico lol i always knew this coutnry was soft...Never in my life do i want to hear these hillbilly rednecks brag about how the US Armed Forces are the best n most feared army in the world..Yeah those Africans with Machetes really looked intimittating..lol SKARED ASS PUSSY'S.....
All of us from western nations, who blame the Un or US or European governments for this are passing the buck away from where it should be focused. We are ultimately responsible for our governments. Europeans definitely didnt learn from this. In the aftermath the US changed to an interventionalist policy, even if it had to be done unilaterally. When Europe couldnt stop genocide on their own continent, the US learned that UN & EU were all talk no action. Capable of uniting only against the US.
I also love the fact that the powers that be refer to this as the Rwandan Genocide AFTER it was over! Calling it that DURING that time would have forced them to act according to their own doctrine!
I absolutely love these ppl who could have stopped this thing have the absolute gall , nerve and boldface cheek to fly to Rwanda AFTER the genoicde and lay the flowers on the mass gravesites and cry the crocodile tears and say how painful it was to see that and say they wish they could have done more! HYPOCRITES!! You were too busy looking into how many times Monica Lewinski was on her knees and back for Clinton and playing spin dr for it!!!
bill clinton is such a JERK! lying about how america were overwhelmed by the rate of the genoncide in rwanda when he said that america will only get involved in america if it was interested in rwanda.
"Um I have guidance'd which uh which to which I uh which I tried to use uh as best as I can um I'm not uh I, I have uh... there are are formulations that we are using that we are trying to be consistent in our use of. Um I don't have um um an absolute categorical prescription against something that I have uh the definitions of.."
DOES THAT EVEN MEAN ANYTHING OR ARE THEY SAYING THEY DON'T HAVE A FUCKING DICTIONARY?
Do NOT give me this bullshit about unclear about what was going on in Rwanda at the time!!That is without the most unbelieveable cop out I have ever heard and I personally think that Albright, kofi , and Clinton should be indicted also as war criminals maybe they did not hack anyone to death but they just stood back and watched it happen and did dick about it and could have stopped it but because Rwanda had nothing to offer they turned a blind eye
The world was told over and over and over and over again....everyone knew, they did nothing. God abundantly bless those who stayed, cared for and loved these precious children of God.
One of the worst human tragedies in history . It is extremely important to study this genocide and what caused it to ensure it never happens again, anywhere.
Fuck you Anthony Lake. Fuck you bitch!!!! hypocrite. Fuck you Clinton. I thought ur government never had interest in Rwanda. Why did u go there? Satan!!!!!
@MsTessh Jews are not innocent. It was Jews that murdered 7,000,000 people in the Holodomor in the Ukraine in 1932-1933. I hardly here anyone talking about that.
How this atrocity could be allowed to happen in an age of advanced media and detailed information on the killings is fucking shameful. The UN, and particularly the key US officials, have 800,000 peoples' blood on their hands and should be haunted by their indifference and ignorance of the genocide for the rest of their lives
its so annoying to hear politicians and members of the UN say " i wish we had pushed to do more... we didnt know the extent"... shut up! probably the most hollow statements made!!
funny they all speak up saying they wish they could have helped when its to late. how convienient to keep good PR after your proven to be a heartless fuck
Even in the early '90's I find it hard to believe that President Clinton didn't know what exactly was going on on the ground in Rwanda. Maybe not the first day or the first couple of days but there were people in the American Embassy and the U.N. observers who were making reports and sending them up the chain of command. Was the news so diluted or misrepresented when it reached the Oval Office, 10 Downing or The U.N.?
What a major slap in the face to the victims of the genocide while all these after the fact politicians who stood by while evil reigned came to ''pay their respects''. Another example of evil rearing it's ugly head. And they call Bush Jr. a criminal. Clinton is just as guilty for his indifference and that major asshole Kofi Annan. Kofi Annan might as well as pissed on their graves instead of placing a reef.
Imagine if america or europe is experiencing genocide tens of millions dying perhaps hundreds of millions yet africa or asia is just standing by doing nothing to help them and will tell them it is not of our own interest despite their desperate cries for help. Just saying no offense. It is meant for the governments of the west.
@janjalani155 Thats funny, because Europeans seem to be the only people who willingly go out of their way to send foreign aid to other countries and 3rd worlders who do nothing but disrespect and hate on white europeans. Honestly nobody on earth is more generous and gives more to charity than europeans do.
The red cross guy is an inspiring person. I know I'm too weak to be a soldier, I know I'm not involved with politics enough to ever make a difference in that realm... but i feel like i could make a difference like the way he did. He makes me want to have a less self absorbed life.
@4:32 The word is exhume Madeleine, not 'excavate', the child wasn't a fuckin, drainage ditch, although for the amount you, your Government, and the organisation you represented them at cared, it may as well have been!
A little bit of the free world died in Rwanda during the genocide. Belgium should be ashamed. Plenty of British died to defend them durin the great war. They should have past on the gesture
There we go, war, carnage, it's always the same, there's only a need for a pretext and blood flows.
People are just what they are, all over the world, it takes only a spark and you set ablaze your own morality and you are capable of the very worse and after time, the very worse becomes just too boring.
These are not savages, these are humans, and babaric acts are no something black people are capable of only, savagery is something universal, it is deeply rooted in all of us, all of us.
this is the last part of the ghosts of Rwanda,my tear duct has dried up!!i have cried and stil cying.America the land of the brave or should i say innterests?Right now ppl are being killed in Somalia and Darfur Sudan?while Obama is dancing in India.
from this documentary and the fact of being an american citizen makes me feel betrayed by my country and my eyes opened but i knnow their were good americans like Wilkens and i my self an seventh day adventist just like him
General Dallaire did not fail his mission, the UN Security Delegation THEY were the ones who failed there mission to carry out what they were constructed for, I hope and pray that General Dallaire well come to understand that, what could the General do when he was not being backed from supplies to troops.
I really didnt wana comment on this video, But I had to.... I clearly understand the frustrations against the UN, but in life, you have to save yourself... thats the whole lesson. This whole genocide wouldnt have happened if the key players acted... For me, I will NOT BLAME AMERICA... I rather Blame that Corrupt Kofi Annan for not taking the intelligence seriously........
@javicrane Absolutely Agree! Germany rules Rwanda and plunders the land...then sells it to Belgium who go on and fuck it completely through the Tutsis.....America..if at all is only as guilty as any other Sovereign(I use that term because u obviously cant expect much from the Arab countries...they have no responsibility towards the rest of the world apparently) nation...People are writing here as if all other nations (European especially) were fighting hard and US was sitting on the fence...BS!!
They should have taken each body, and piled it up on the UN's door step. "You killed X amount of people today." Then arrest them for crimes against humanity. The UN is almost just as much to blame IMOP.
How ridiculous. They did NOTHING AT ALL. Except for a few amazing individuals like Romeo Dallaire, Mbaye and Wilkens who did all they could to save people, the international community did not respond at all. Bill Clinton is an absolute fucking joke. It is a slap in the face for him to even go there. There is no excuse whatsoever for the kind of inaction that was experienced during the Rwandan genocide. None whatsoever. The US knew what was going on and CHOSE not to intervene. End of story.
As a North American, this documentary truly opened my eyes. What can I do to prevent things like this from happening again in the future as an individual?
That´s it, for the first time in my life I´m going to do somrthing about anything. I´m gonna join a REAL, impartial to political belifes and non hypocritical human rights organiztion which shall not going to puss out then it comes to danger.
what an asshole.. clinton.. people like you sitting in offices day after day after day doing absolutely nothing!! i wasn't born yet so i couldn't have done anything.. god dammit
I hope that the 51,610 viewers that were willing enough to educate themselves on this issue have been empowered to maybe do something about the current genocides that are happening or maybe try to prevent future ones. I really hope that the majority of these viewers haven't just watched this documentary, cried, talked about it, argued about it, and then forgotten about it. We need educated, willing, courageous people in the governments of powerful countries who will do something about genocides.
The only people that can make its government do something about genocides like in Rwanda is its own people. It's people like you that is responsible for the genocides. People that say that ''we can't do anything about it''. Of course we can do something about it. I mean please study some history. Why did the apartheid regime fall in South Africa? Because people forced their governments to act. Even in the US. In democracies, governments have to listen to popular protest.
im not from texas, and i dont have or had any stock shares in any of the oil companies. but every time i hear people talk about bush is being a murderer i wonder if clinton is responsible for more deaths for his pussy attitude.
@commandro i understand where you're coming from but you are trying to compare 2 totally different people. Clinton's unwillingness to go to war caused the deaths of people who were going to die either way. While Bush's willingness to go to war caused the deaths of people that were not going to die. Either way both are at fault for their actions, or in this case inactions, during their times.
How many people does it take before its called genocide...........being asked to a white women who probably goes home adn kisses her kids in a busy city while others have to horde there kids somewere or die. Shameful
@Senka73 do remember that there are other genocides taking place currently not only in places in africa such as Darfur but other places of the world, and most people are still not doing anything. I agree with your statement. But may I ask, are we doing even the slightest to help those people who are going through genocides right now? Yes they are disgusting, but so are we.
After watching this documentary, I am more empowered than ever to do something about the genocides going on right now.
@gangstercrab What exactly do you think you can do about it? go over there and be murdered yourself? The only people who have the power to actually do something, won't because there is nothing to gain from it. We can whine and beg but our governments will still do nothing.
The only people that can make its government do something about it is its own people. It's people like you that are responsible for the genocides. People that say that ''we can't do anything about it''. I mean please study some history. Why did slavery end? Why did the apartheid regime fall in South Africa? Because people forced their governments to act. Even in the US.
We can't deny there were very good people out there trying to do something about that, how ever...remmeber the UN is ruled by the security council; formed by the 5 most poweerful countries. If any of this countries votes against or doesn't vote nothing will be done. Have you heard about Darfur? Nothing's been donde cause China didn't vote to send help for innocents; why? they sell weapons to the killers and...they want the oil and natural gas.
Look at the legacy the Hutu extremist left Rwanda with. They claimed to do it for all the right reasons when they raped women, mutilated bodies, and castrated genitals. I guarantee you that every time you look up Rwanda on a search engine or any other availible resourse, Rwandan Genocide will always come up, fuckin devils.
what absolutely disgusts me about the whole damn thing is the ones who had the power and could have put a stop to this insanity have the ABSOLUTE NERVE to go to Rwanda when it was OVER cry a few tears, say what a shame, and say we never knew or they never realized?! BULLSHIT!!! they saw, they knew and they just did not give a damn!!!
@WhatooshImGoogleFace I didnt appreciate with which you were being engulfed. thats the politican he doesnt say sorry he doesnt admit he was sorry. You did good for the USA Clinton but you shoulda done something for the Rhawanada..........well i think everyone should have. People talk about how the U.S. should do something but what about other countires just cause there not super powers doesnt mean they couldnt have done something
The governments and the body of the UN made itself as irrelevant as possible (not to point fingers but it failed), then the hero's who remained behind made it relevant again by taking that choice and fighting the decision to accept inhumanity. A hollywood story is something that gives us an idea for what can be done, what the Senegalese captain in fact did.

Through a combination of forrests of beaurocrats, and the fact that the U.S., UN and Europeans claim to be ready to act and then had their bluff called nothing was done. The real horror is how some people prevented small acts from being done. It is as if there were certain people in the U.S., France, Britain, etc. who expected the genocide to be carried out. Then had figured how what comes next, and would act to see it done. The fact the pentagon could turn the damn radio off is appalling
US and UN can not do any thing until this moment. Israel killed 1400 palestinian in Gaza non of the big countries stoped them, they actually supported Israel. US sent weapon and phosphourus kind of weapon to ISRAEL. no one care about the poor and unarmed people in the world
100 days, 3 months, and nobody did NOTHING. I can't believe it, maybe it was not america's issue or france, or belgium... but come on, you see the world in fire and you have a bucket full of water... but you just dont throw it. Seems like a silent crime for me
Yes the United Nations is just an extension of Western powers over the rest of the world. Those were very brave Peacekeepers that stayed in Rwanda especially Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire and his men.

Not only does there need to be intervention, but the forces need to stay in some capacity to aid in the healing that must take place after a society descends to genocidal depths. This will take at least ten to twenty years, thus countries must work in concert if the forces are to be available with other interests in mind for each acting state.
go get them tough guy. I'm sure the Janjaweed are just shaking in thier boots at the thought of fighting you. I'm sure they will put their weapons down at the very sight of you.
@mizzoulibertarian: If you don't have anything constructive or intelligent to say then I suggest not saying anything at all. The fact that you spend your time sifting through Youtube comments just to insult and patronize the poster is enough proof for me that you're nothing but a low-life bully. The fact that you can watch this documentary without feeling some sort of empathy is deplorable. So please rid us of your stupidity and go away.
I'm an trying to point out that military intervention could and would bring american deaths in a sitution that does not threaten american citizens. I have been involved in military interventions before. It is not like what you see in Hollywoood.
@mizzoulibertarian - ok....and the bombardment of Serbia in 1999 is because SERBIA was attacking american citizens? really? you know nothing about these things. i am Serbian and i KNOW what happened here. and where are we standing right now? we are fucked because we want our freedom. and our FREEDOM is not AMERICAN freedom.
I sincerely feel the pain of those people, because i have gone through war. People...be HUMAN first. help the nearest one. And Rwanda's people will always be near my heart.
Very sad to think how many victims had to suffer and the millions who were left with cut limbs etc. if the western nations can invade and supposedly "liberate" Libya, they coup easily have done this in a couple of days ad would have saved thousands of lives.

To my fellow Rwandans and Africans in general, we will get better if we can do things with our own hands. I agree with the lack of international intervention, but we (Rwandans) killed other Rwandans whom we shared the same language and culture. I was 4 years old when this happened, but I still can't understand how we killed each other like this. The same things are still happening in Africa: Uganda( LRA), Somalia (Al-Shabab), Nigeria,...I am not even sure if I am proud to be African right now.!!

I don't know, I can't possibly understand what Rwanda has been through, not really, but I think you should be proud to be African and you can build a new Africa.
I think international intervention isn't really the word it would have just been inter-human intervention, it would have been an acknowledgement of the fact that before they are Rwandans or Africans they are human beings, you can't say "not my problem". Nation shouldn't even come into it, we must help each other because we are family.

My question is how much was known AS the genocide was going on? It's so easy for people to condemn and decry the acts over 16 years AFTER the fact when a clear and concise picture has already been painted of the horrible things that had happened.
Footage and photos don't immediately arrive at the desks of able parties once they are shot or taken...
June28July 5 months ago
@June28July Footage of the genocide started becoming available weeks into the genocide.The genocide took place over 3 months from April to June. It is virtually impossible for them not to have seen what the media was reporting. The BBC and Reuters where forerunners in producing footage through out the genocide. A lot WAS known even prior to the start of the genocide the UN,US and Belgium where aware of the situation the country was under.
Megaroozle 5 months ago
@Megaroozle
But what exactly did the footage portray and did this footage reach the desks of able parties? Or were most communications carried out in paper form like it happens in many bureaucracies?
June28July 5 months ago
@June28July Just a question have you watched the entire documentary? And what sort of communication do you suggest they should have used? The footage did not need to reach the 'desks' of those able parties. As far as I am concerned the able parties where the UN, USA and Belgium and they where very well informed of what could happen in Rwanda prior to President Juvénal Habyarimana plane being shot down. Their Press Offices not to mention the Belgium and US embassy's.
Megaroozle 5 months ago
@June28July Reports obtained under the US Freedom of information act sheds some light and knowledge of the events.Documents where published first by General Dallaire about the magnitude of what was to happen If you go and search THE NATIONAL SECURITY ARCHIVE you will see some documentation.If you can recall General Dallaire was the officer still trying to quell the genocide with limited troops and no help form the UN. On that same page Prudence Bushnell also issued a report.
Megaroozle 5 months ago
@June28July The US had done a lot more than fail to recognize what was going on they also lobbied the UN to totally withdraw troops from Rwanda because prior to the genocide in April peace keeping troops had been placed in Rwanda because they feared a civil war. On April 22nd the White house issued a statement to both the Rwandan army and the Rwandan Patriotic front to do all they can to end the violence. Why would the US issue such a statement if they where ill informed of events.
Megaroozle 5 months ago
@June28July Further more on May 25th, 2 months into the violence, Clinton had written a letter to Rep. Harry Johnston of Florida about the need for the two parties to come to a cease fire. I am sorry if my earlier post may have come off a bit aggressive but my argument is that footage was not needed. Unlike World war 2 where there rumors and disjointed reports about the massacre of Jews. This was more evident. I can understand that the US where reluctant for a repeat of Mogadishu
Megaroozle 5 months ago
@June28July However it doesn't mitigate the fact that they where all well informed and where well in their power to do something. However I stand corrected and I may only see one side due to the fact that my parents where South African missionaries and Aid workers in Rwanda at the time.
Megaroozle 5 months ago
@Megaroozle
Wow, your parents were aid workers there? Wow. But I'd still like to hear the UN's side of the story or more specifically, individuals within the UN who failed to do their job.
June28July 5 months ago
@June28July Good point, and your right about the UN.They had the power to do more and request more from different individuals. People tend to put all the blame towards the US however the UN failed largely to do more. They should have come down harder on Belgium who perpetuated the entire race system that was a catalyst and France who had trained small groups of Hutu Militia plus issue more troops. I do believe that 16 days into the violence they started using the word Genocide...
Megaroozle 5 months ago
but due to the legal implications they couldn't actually use the word. You should watch a documentary called shake hands with the devil, it might shed some light as to the UN and its failings its on google video if your interested. Yes unfortunately they where, I had to leave (I had just turned 7) but they stayed behind to try and help and there where many foreign civilians(aid workers) who stayed as well.

Also, there might have been some mistaken belief within the UN that the events going on in Rwanda were products of a civil war rather than a genocide and some may have believed photos being published in newspapers were pictures of militia or civilian casualties.

I understand their 'interest' in their own civilian human life... but when the world cries out, you need to step up. And we did cry.

I'm sure if corporate America was being threatened in Rwanda by Hutus then the president would of stepped in. All this BS about legality of it being or not being genocide is a cover up for the truth.

There was nothing to gain in saving people there. F*** all world governments, human life has $0 value in their eyes.

Europeans definitely didnt learn from this. In the aftermath the US changed to an interventionalist policy, even if it had to be done unilaterally. When Europe couldnt stop genocide on their own continent, the US learned that UN & EU were all talk no action. Capable of uniting only against the US.

The only people that can make its government do something about genocides like in Rwanda is its own people. It's people like you that is responsible for the genocides. People that say that ''we can't do anything about it''. Of course we can do something about it. I mean please study some history. Why did the apartheid regime fall in South Africa? Because people forced their governments to act. Even in the US. In democracies, governments have to listen to popular protest.

im not from texas, and i dont have or had any stock shares in any of the oil companies. but every time i hear people talk about bush is being a murderer i wonder if clinton is responsible for more deaths for his pussy attitude.

@commandro i understand where you're coming from but you are trying to compare 2 totally different people. Clinton's unwillingness to go to war caused the deaths of people who were going to die either way. While Bush's willingness to go to war caused the deaths of people that were not going to die. Either way both are at fault for their actions, or in this case inactions, during their times.

ALL of those who stood by and did nothing are as guilty as the people who actually commited the crimes. They are disgusting!

@Senka73 do remember that there are other genocides taking place currently not only in places in africa such as Darfur but other places of the world, and most people are still not doing anything. I agree with your statement. But may I ask, are we doing even the slightest to help those people who are going through genocides right now? Yes they are disgusting, but so are we.
After watching this documentary, I am more empowered than ever to do something about the genocides going on right now.

@gangstercrab What exactly do you think you can do about it? go over there and be murdered yourself? The only people who have the power to actually do something, won't because there is nothing to gain from it. We can whine and beg but our governments will still do nothing.

We can't deny there were very good people out there trying to do something about that, how ever...remmeber the UN is ruled by the security council; formed by the 5 most poweerful countries. If any of this countries votes against or doesn't vote nothing will be done. Have you heard about Darfur? Nothing's been donde cause China didn't vote to send help for innocents; why? they sell weapons to the killers and...they want the oil and natural gas.

Look at the legacy the Hutu extremist left Rwanda with. They claimed to do it for all the right reasons when they raped women, mutilated bodies, and castrated genitals. I guarantee you that every time you look up Rwanda on a search engine or any other availible resourse, Rwandan Genocide will always come up, fuckin devils.

The governments and the body of the UN made itself as irrelevant as possible (not to point fingers but it failed), then the hero's who remained behind made it relevant again by taking that choice and fighting the decision to accept inhumanity. A hollywood story is something that gives us an idea for what can be done, what the Senegalese captain in fact did.

Through a combination of forrests of beaurocrats, and the fact that the U.S., UN and Europeans claim to be ready to act and then had their bluff called nothing was done. The real horror is how some people prevented small acts from being done. It is as if there were certain people in the U.S., France, Britain, etc. who expected the genocide to be carried out. Then had figured how what comes next, and would act to see it done. The fact the pentagon could turn the damn radio off is appalling

US and UN can not do any thing until this moment. Israel killed 1400 palestinian in Gaza non of the big countries stoped them, they actually supported Israel. US sent weapon and phosphourus kind of weapon to ISRAEL. no one care about the poor and unarmed people in the world

100 days, 3 months, and nobody did NOTHING. I can't believe it, maybe it was not america's issue or france, or belgium... but come on, you see the world in fire and you have a bucket full of water... but you just dont throw it. Seems like a silent crime for me

Yes the United Nations is just an extension of Western powers over the rest of the world. Those were very brave Peacekeepers that stayed in Rwanda especially Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire and his men.

Not only does there need to be intervention, but the forces need to stay in some capacity to aid in the healing that must take place after a society descends to genocidal depths. This will take at least ten to twenty years, thus countries must work in concert if the forces are to be available with other interests in mind for each acting state.

@mizzoulibertarian: If you don't have anything constructive or intelligent to say then I suggest not saying anything at all. The fact that you spend your time sifting through Youtube comments just to insult and patronize the poster is enough proof for me that you're nothing but a low-life bully. The fact that you can watch this documentary without feeling some sort of empathy is deplorable. So please rid us of your stupidity and go away.

I'm an trying to point out that military intervention could and would bring american deaths in a sitution that does not threaten american citizens. I have been involved in military interventions before. It is not like what you see in Hollywoood.

@mizzoulibertarian - ok....and the bombardment of Serbia in 1999 is because SERBIA was attacking american citizens? really? you know nothing about these things. i am Serbian and i KNOW what happened here. and where are we standing right now? we are fucked because we want our freedom. and our FREEDOM is not AMERICAN freedom.
I sincerely feel the pain of those people, because i have gone through war. People...be HUMAN first. help the nearest one. And Rwanda's people will always be near my heart.
