John Bellew, (Letters, April 8) rightly commends Canadian General Romeo Dallaire for his courageous actions during the Rwandan massacre.

I read with interest Hannah McNeish’s article (Irish Examiner, April 4) which remembered the Rwandan genocide of 1994 when as many as 800,000 ethnic Tutsis were murdered by the Hutu majority.

The Canadian general who headed the United Nations peacekeeping force during the 1994 Rwandan genocide gave a chilling account of how roadblocks popped up like mushrooms and served only to pick out and murder Tutsis.

THE suspected architect of Rwanda’s 1994 genocide begins a fourth week of testimony today, defying accusers in the biggest trial to date over the African nation’s 100 days of slaughter.

Ten years ago, Verena Mukarugambwa was running for her life as Hutu extremists unleashed a 100-day killing spree that tore apart the small central African nation of Rwanda.
