See these men are washed

and laid out properly.

Treated with respect.

Hundreds of unarmed

observers are missing.

Sorry, Minister.

I'll call you back.

Calm down, please.

Please, calm down.

This hotel is under UN protection.

What's going on?

There are traitors here.

We won't let them leave.

You will not enter

this hotel for any reason.

It's under UN protection.

I order you to bar

anyone who's armed.

Is that clear'?

My observer saw you

unloading ammunition

that was handed to the Rwandan army.

Your observer was mistaken.

We are here only

to evacuate the Whites.

And some good friends of France.

Who are directly responsible

for what's happening.

Who we evacuate is none

of your business, General.

April 9, 1994

Polish Catholic Mission, Gikondo

Yes, General.

I got your message

about a deadline for a cease-fire.

What's your answer?

We're meeting at lunch

and we'll discuss it.

The deadline is 4:00 p.m.

I understand.

Otherwise UNAMIR will be withdrawn.

Your friends here would miss you.

The world will be very upset

if there is no cease-fire

and the atrocities continue.

Very upset.

Rwanda is a small African country

little noticed by the world.

Haven't you found that so?

N airobi ?

Step away from the window, General.

You see,

the UN believes I can do more

for the peace process in Nairobi.

You're head of the mission.

I'll be in constant touch.

lnterahamwe Leaders

We're at your disposal, General.

We'll do everything we can.

Liars!

Just a bunch of bloody liars!

You gave me your word.

There was a misunderstanding.

I'm ready to work with all leaders,

including you.

If you are leaders, that is.

As people scrambled to leave,

they were shot by the militia.

We were caught in a crossfire.

People were queuing here

when the bombs fell.

They were literally shredded.

General!

We need soldiers to protect us!

Where are your soldiers?

You have guns.

Protect us!

Shoot at them!

Most of my men are unarmed.

Then what use are they?

Give them guns!

- We don't have enough.

- Not enough? Why not?

We're dying and all you say is

there's nothing you can do!

Why not? Why?

Are you part of Dallaire's gang?

Why? ls there a problem?

If I see this great general,

I'll kill him.
