Sitting forward with a stern look on my face, concentrating on listening to the debate going back and forth between Belgium and every other representative, or Romeo Dellaire to the USA or the UN, trying to catch all the details of who did what and who deserves to die.
My country was France, not a major role in the debate and not normally one that the finger was being pointed at. I was glad I wasn’t a take part in this because I would rather sit back and listen to what the others have to say. If I had to say something to defend myself…. Excuse me…. My country, I did and I did it with full confidence. In my eyes, the cause of this whole genocide is Belgium giving identity cards based on the things you own, creating the whole idea of who was better the Hutus or the Tutsis, and then leaving them when things started to get messy.
I believe that the Tutsis did shoot down Juvenal Habyarimanas plane, and the Hutus had a right to be mad. Yes, I also think they were brainwashed by the radios to kill or be killed, but after Juvenal died, who was encouraging them then?
Now the USA and the UN claim they didn’t do anything because they were scared and didn’t want to be embarrassed by their soldiers, and that’s their reason why they didn’t do anything. But yes I believe that the USA does not have to take part and rescue every world tragedy, but they could have at least put up posters, or made a comment or something to help a small percentage.
