The ethnic division in Belgium is the origin. France has been sending arms and supplies to the Hutu from beginning to end. It was Mitterrand's intervention and support that made Bagosora rampant.
Originally, the UN troops could make a difference. The Belgian peacekeepers of the former host country of the escort of the Prime Minister were killed, resulting in the withdrawal of all the remaining Belgian peacekeepers. Dallaire had only 300 soldiers left. In order to prevent the massacre, he had to call the UN to increase troops. 3000.
In October 1993, half a year ago, the US casualties in Somalia attracted public attention. Clinton did not dare to interfere in similar affairs. The United Kingdom followed suit. The two permanent members of the Security Council most likely to interfere were ambiguous, and France did not support it. It also determines the attitude of the United Nations. This is why Dallaire applied for additional troops in the film, but only a small team came, and only escorted the white people back, and ordered Dallaire to retreat.
What is not mentioned in the film is that the squad that came was mainly French troops. They did not pay attention to the killed Tutsi, but after the defeat of Bagosora, they helped him build a Hutu refugee camp. Gameme considers Habyarimana's murderer investigation. The relationship between Rwanda and France was not relieved until Sarkozy was elected president during his visit to Rwanda and admitted that France had made a mistake in its judgment on the Rwanda massacre.
Under such circumstances, Dallaire refused the order to withdraw troops and continued to stay in Rwanda, using the remaining 300 soldiers to cooperate with people like Paul and Zura Karuhimbi who secretly protected the Tutsi in the Hutu massacre. Saved more than 20,000 Tutsi and--
Why is Paul worthy of praise? Bagosora imported 500,000 machetes from 1993 to 1994 and sent them to the Hutu militia at the time. If you are a Hutu but sympathize with the Tutsi, you will be regarded as a betrayer and you will also be killed. This situation is much more dangerous than Schindler
——Hutu people regarded as betrayers.
The massacre did not stop until the victory of the "Rwandan Patriotic Front" led by Kagame and the rebel army in July. However, as Kagame recruited many surviving Tutsi civilians in the later period, the rebels had a strong mood of revenge. Kagame actually acquiesced in the army’s retaliatory killings of Hutu people. During this period, there were another 100,000 to 200,000. Hutu people were killed. Rwanda did not usher in peace until Kagame calmed down the Hutu resistance in the territory and in the Congo.
After that, as the de facto leader of Rwanda, Kagame threw out the "Vision 2020", by stealing Congo’s mineral resources, he led Rwanda on the road to Singapore. The style and policy of this man are very similar to Lee Kuan Yew, and he is a politician worth studying.
