Hotel Rwanda

[CGM]

The leader of the UN peacekeeping mission in Rwanda during this time was a Canadian. He really suffered terribly from his experience there. He really raised a stink with UN headquarters, he said a massacre was going to happen, but he got precious little support. He said himself "we could have saved hundreds of thousands..." but it just didn't happen . Now he has big psychological problems, nightmares, depression etc.

He wrote a book about his experiences during this time. "Shake Hands With the Devil" by Romeo Dallaire.
