Romeo Dallaire - 800,000 Tutsis and Hutus

Canadian Lieutenant General Roméo Dallaire wishes that the wisdom learned from World War II was applied when he took the command of United Nations mission in Rwanda in 1993. The situation in Rwanda steadily worsened when Dallaire arrived to Rwanda, as radio programs continued to hoist prejudice and hatred toward the Tutsi and the French were arming the country's troops consisting of Hutus. The majority religion in Rwanda, Catholicism, disregarded the hatred and let it continue as the instability in the country turned it into a butcher shop after the killing of the president, which was blamed upon the Tutsi.

During Dallaire's command, he tried numerous times to convince the United Nations to act before it was too late. However, the leading world was more concerned about the war in former Yugoslavia while the public drew their interest through the many news stations to O.J. Simpson's infamous small gloves. Abandoned at his post with an insufficient number of soldiers to handle a murderous rampage that took place in Rwanda, Dallaire could only do one thing, watch and try to save as many as he could.
