@#27 Unhappy

It’s not quite that simple. If you look at who’s backing the Hutus and the Tutsis, it’s obvious that the former are France-aligned and the latter are Anglo-aligned. The RPF as a rebel organization drew support from the United States under the framework of Cold War anti-Communism and training from the UK via Uganda. This was played against a consistently French-backed Hutu government. It’s no surprise that it’s France that helped Rwanda fight off Tutsi insurgents in 1990 finally exposed and filed charges against the RPF’s war crimes and assassination of the former president.

I’m not saying that the USA and Britain instigated the civil war and the ensuing genocide, but it was obviously in the USGovt’s interest not to intervene. Even if it’s a small, relatively insignificant country, the governments of world powers aren’t going to intervene to stop their “friends” from getting into power.

Not that Rwanda is an insignificant country. Not by a long stretch, since it borders the eastern part of the Congo that is rich in diamonds and precious metals like tantalum (a crucial material used in our beloved dvd players and computers) It has been the active policy of the new Tutsi government to take over the mines. And the Rwandan Tutsis are enslaving the local people to do it.

http://www.afrol.com/Countries/DRC/documents/un_resources_2002_rwanda.htm

The bulk of coltan (tantalum ore) exported from the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, as much as 60 to 70 per cent, has been mined under the direct surveillance of RPA mining détachés and evacuated by aircraft from airstrips near mining sites directly to Kigali or Cyangugu. No taxes are paid. Rwandan military aircraft, Victor Bout’s aircraft and small airline companies are used in the evacuation of the coltan. RPA has maintained control over most of the coltan sites where rich deposits are found, where the percentage of tantalum is high, and where local airstrips are accessible. A variety of forced labour regimes are found at sites that have been managed by RPA mining détachés, some for coltan collection, some for transport, others for domestic services. Many accounts report the widespread use of prisoners imported from Rwanda who work as indentured labour.

Eagle Wings Resources International, a coltan comptoir in Bukavu, is a subsidiary of Trinitech International Inc., based in Ohio, United States. Eagle Wings has offices in Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Approximately 25 per cent of Eagle Wings coltan is shipped from Kigali to the Ulba Metallurgical Plant of NAC Kazatomprom, in Kazakhstan. Another 25 per cent is sold to the parent company of Eagle Wings, Trinitech International Inc. in the United States, which arranges for sales to both Ulba and to the Chinese processing facility at Ningxia Non-Ferrous Metals Smeltery (NNMS). H. C. Starck, based in Germany and a subsidiary of the transnational corporation Bayer AG, purchases about 15 per cent of Eagle Wings coltan. H. C. Starck has denied on numerous occasions obtaining coltan originating from Central Africa. In a press statement issued on 24 May 2002, H. C. Starck reiterated that the company had purchased no material originating in Central Africa since August 2001. The Panel possesses documents showing the contrary. In the same press release, H. C. Starck claimed that its coltan originates from “peasant suppliers” and not from rebel groups. In fact, no coltan exits from the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo without benefiting either the rebel group or foreign armies.

@Slamothecow: Thanks. At least there are some people who are still committed to the idea of truth. Regarding that incident at my uni, I did manage to draft an editorial to the university paper questioning the propriety of holding a forum to stroke the ego of Kagame’s RPF the day after Rusesabagina came to speak. It was never published, surprise, surprise.

@#20 Matt. Interesting. So I guess Americans really just want to settle for the tired stock Hollywood narratives of good and evil, without even considering the real views and experiences of the actual people involved. It’s a shame that very obviously no one cares about Rwanda, even now after this highly rated Hollywood production. Which really makes me doubt the effectiveness that movies like this have for raising awareness of serious international issues.

It reminds me of when Paul Rusesabagina came to my university to speak. The very next day some professor was ranting in a public forum about how the international community should have gone in to fully back the Tutsi RPF. They couldn’t even wait a day before spitting in Rusesabagina’s face and trampling all over his message.

* Nick Nolte shows knowing machismo as an American UN officer,*

who made the error in the description,the movie makers or rlslog

i did not saw the movie,i intend to see it,but if colonel oliver was a canadian
soldier,this is a bad start,for this movie,especially if he was under the orders
of general dallaire.
why taking credits for someone else hard jobs and reputation.

OMG! You said thanks, when you really weren’t thanking him!! And you also said his comment was to the point when it obviously wasn’t and it was not interesting in the least. However did you get to be such a funny funny man? Seriously you should do stand up.
