To Hell and Back
A decade after the genocide, Roméo Dallaire writes about his uneasy return
ROMEO DALLAIRE
In 1994, Maj.
-Gen.
Roméo Dallaire and the tiny United Nations peacekeeping force he
led in Rwanda were forced to stand helplessly by as a civil war in the central African nation
descended into genocide.
In a 100-day period, as the UN ignored Dallaire s pleas to
intervene, Hutu extremists massacred some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus before
rebel Tutsi forces of the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) emerged victorious.
The bloodbath
has continued to haunt the retired Canadian military officer, who went public in 1997 with
the fact that he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
But in April, Dallaire
returned to Rwanda with a film crew from White Pine Pictures to mark the 10th
anniversary of the slaughter.
The resulting documentary, Shake Hands With the Devil: The
Journey of Roméo Dallaire, had its world premiere last week at the Toronto Internatio
