Ghosts of Rwanda

Frontline did a program about the Genocide in Rwanda in 1994. In 100 days 800,000 people died. They were hacked to pieces with machetes and left to die in the streets. Men, women and children, civilians. The World, the UN, the US, did nothing. I did nothing. You did nothing.

Captain Mbaye Diagne did something. He was an unarmed UN military observer from Senegal who ignored orders to not intervene and smuggled many many people to safety.

The hero is not the one who kills. The hero is not the one who wins.
The hero is the one who will sacrifice for another human being.
The hero is the one who will risk dying to save another person.

Senegal should take great pride in the courage of their son.
