The overriding failure of the United Nations in responding to the events in Rwanda in 1994 can be summarised as the lack of political will to react firmly against the genocide when it began. #HistoryVille

The world failed Rwanda because obviously there was nothing to gain from intervening….a very sad tale

Not much is made of the Russian rockets that actually took down the plane that actually triggered the genocide. I imagine taking down a passenger jet with rockets is no simple task & requires planning & experience.

I have an important question for anyone that was alive when this particular genocide happened, or anyone that was there, on either side: I remember watching a news documentary on this, while I was living in Boston, Mass, in the US, toward the end of the massacre. Does anyone else remember the UN having a much bigger part in this than I can find mentioned in any of these modern "documentaries". I remember UN military coming in, appearing to side with the Tutsi, rounding them all up, bringing then into a fenced area with barbed wire on top, saying that they were going to protect them. Then suddenly getting new orders from the high up commanders, to leave, and just leave the Tutsi corralled in the fenced area. There was obvious emotion in some of the troops who realized that they had just been tricked into taking part in the genocide of many innocent people. And the Tutsi were on their knees crying and begging for the military not or leave them like that, and telling them what exactly was about to happen to them, (in case they needed a reminder). Their fate was worse than just death, I'll leave it at that. I cried watching this footage. That's why I remember it so vividly. I couldn't believe (At the time. I was young then. Well, about 20. Old enough that I didn't usually cry about anything very easily), that the US had part in this and I couldn't believe that we didn't speak out against it or against the UN! Which, in my book, makes us complicit in the Hutu and the UN doing something so terribly evil! Am I remembering wrong?Am I mixing up different genocides? Does anyone else remember this documentary? It could have been a bbc news documentary but it seems like it was American, like "60 Minutes" or something. I'm pretty sure it was on PBS. Thanks for any memories of this anyone can offer. If i remember right, people should know. If I'm wrong, I'd like to know so that I can correct myself.

You’re right, it was portrayed in the movie, Hotel Rwanda. The UN is also incredibly corrupt and inept at doing its job. It’s a political operation used as theater for the masses. The reason why the UN was there was to help defend western lives and escort them out of the country. They also had a non use of force mandate that only allowed them to fire in case of self defense or if a mandate was passed which allowed them to use lethal force. So the UN left because the forces there were underfunded, lacked leadership, and the UN lacked political gain from intervening in the genocide.

Your memory of this is pretty good. What you say probably refers to two events, one at a school called ETO in the city of Kigali, and the other at a psychiatric hospital in a place called Ndera on the outskirts of the city. Both events happened in April 1994 and both involved Belgian troops. At that time Belgium had two battalions deployed there, each under a different command. The one at the school was part of the UN mission, called Unamir. But the one involved at the hospital was part of Operation silverback which was under the direct command of the Belgian government with no link to the UN. Thousands of targeted people had sought refuge at both places. A Belgian company of about 90 to 150 soldiers was itself housed at the school. For almost a week the company protected the 3,000 fugitives there. Alas, this abruptly ended on April 11th. On that day the rogue colonel who was in command of all Belgian Unamir troops ordered the company to vacate the school and move away to the airport. That’s when some of the heartrending scenes you described happened. The fugitives implored the troops not to leave them in the hands of the killers gathered all around the school, to no avail. In absolute desperation they decided to lie down on the ground in front of the vehicles to stop them from leaving. But nothing could get the colonel to change his mind. The troops drove off and the fugitives were immediately murdered. The outcome at the hospital was similar even though the scenario was a little different. It happened 2 days later, on April 13th. The difference is that the silverback soldiers hadn’t been living there. Nonetheless most of the fugitives hadn’t been killed yet because there were still Western employees at the hospital who were waiting to be evacuated back to Europe. The genocidaires weren’t keen on committing mass murder under the direct observation of Western witnesses. Thus they had killed only some of the fugitives, but not the majority of them. Then on April 13th a silverback military detachment arrived to take the Westerners away. And again this brought about desperate pleadings by the fugitives who asked to be escorted out of that place to a safer location, but again this fell on deaf ears. The soldiers just squeezed their way through, picked up the Europeans and left the fugitives behind to be massacred by the eagerly waiting genocidaires. This scene does appear at minute 0:34:17 in the documentary called Ghosts of Rwanda. As you recalled, the documentary was produced by PBS for its Frontline series. The event at the school is described further in another presentation here on y-tube

Waaw nice documentary, but i thought Paul Kagame was right away the president, in this documentary i heard Bizimungu how come Then another comment, i think it's high time Africa should always try to solve our own problems and conflicts tho sometimes they seem to be ignited by the European or whites. I thank the progressive resolutions currently in the DRC Congo a joint army of East African countries to solve the problem. But we should not forget that most armed conflicts originate due to failure to implement agreements. That's a key note

No, Kagame was Vice President & Minister of Defence from 94 - 2000. But he was basically President. I think it might have been a sign of unity. Bizimungu was part of RPF but he was Hutu. Still, Kagame still basically wielded the power.
