Interresting but read Romeo Dallaires book, Shaken hands with the Devil. He was the UN general in charge during the genocide, he's from Montreal. Thats odd that Kagame blames France when the Beglians did much worse there by coming up with this carding system, so kinda like a passport it would say if you were Tutsi or Hutu so it was easy for the genocide to happen when there was a line between the two tribes made by the Belgians.

In all honesty though after reading that book and other stuff to do with the Rwanda genocide the only people to blame were the leaders of the 3 sides. They had many chances to have peace but always opted to kill eachother.

Absolutely, the French have got a lot to answer for over that atrocity. Come to think of it I can't really remember any Western countries busting a gut to stop that happening.

Actaully France was the only major country to offer troops. The UN denied them because the Africans didn;t want them. Canada gave a few troops, a pathetic amount. The Belgians gave a bit along with some nahbouring african countries. The US, well mainly Clinton denied anything was happening there and refused to send anything. At the time the US along with most european countries were the onyl ones with spare troops, they all have alot to answer for.
