Ghosts Of Rwanda (8/12)

A history of the Rwandan genocide in which the Hutu Racial extremists the Interahamwe systematically slaughtered the Tutsi people and non-racist Hutu's. Told through documentary evidence and interviews with every major figure involved it documents the incredible brutality but also the kindness and heroism of those involved.
A gruesome, grotesque and deeply powerful documentary which tells of the horrors of the events and of the reaction to mass murder by each major Western government. To turn away, to not care or to pull support from them.
On a personal note I have taken the time to do this as no documentary has meant more to me than this and as Darfur rages on its message has never been more important.
For information on Darfur may I recommend and urge you to read "The Death and Rape of Darfur" in the British Journal Of Criminology

When Iraq was violating a ceasefire from 1990-2003 by throwing UN inspectors, shooting coalition planes in the no-fly zones, etc, what did the UN do? Nothing.

When Serbian troops massacred Bosniak and Croat civilians in Bosnia such as Sarajevo, Srebrenica, Tulza etc, what did the UN do? Nothing.

When the Pol Pot genocide occurred, when did the UN do? Nothing.

When Hutis was massacring Tutsis in the streets of Rwanda in 1994, what did the UN do? Nothing.

It shows how "great" the UN is.

@srithikdatta Well said.

@Endstation oh ya, why don't you be in position of the UN for a change then come back. They are a lot of nations that violated a lot of UN resolutions and did not take action. the US committed illegal war acts? Like Korean War illegal? Everything you sound very stupid. Your argument is downright stupid i won't argue.

@Hperman09

Vietnam was not about the cold war. It was about suppressing the vietnamese liberation movement.

@Hperman09

The US has blocked the UN many times. Th US supported the Khmer Rouge after the Vietnamese invasion. The US supported Saddam Hussein. They supported Suharto. Etc. The US has commited over a 100 illegal war acts since the second world war. The US is a much biggar failure than the UN.

@Hperman09 even more recently in Libya it was NATO, not the UN.

@kingwebster1 i did not know that. thats too bad that place is still a shithole then. I'd hope they at least get developed if they had such resources like the middle east.

@srithikdatta Actually Somalia has a ton of oil which is actually one of the reasons for the genocide in Darfur. Somalia sells all of its oil to China. They have a shitload of oil btw
