Thread Name: Homage to a broken man: Lt.Gen. Romeo Dallaire
Subject: RE: Homage to a broken man
I know this is a very old thread but I have just seen this in the Globe and Mail online. I had heard a rumour that the man might be up for Governor General but this is good too.
In the snippets I've picked up over the years, it would seem that Britain and the US - possibly France as well - knew more than they revealed to the UN prior to the genocide. Information which could have made a difference to Dallaire's freedom to respond. I've come close to buying his (auto?)-biography but I'm not sure that I'd have the strength of character to read it to the end.
Good news for an Easter weekend, though. Or whatever you're celebrating this Spring.
