Rwandan Genocide: UN Military Advisor Reports the Horror
Maurice Baril advises the UN Secretary-General to withdraw peacekeepers from Rwanda, a recommendation that directly enables the rapid escalation of violence against Tutsis and moderate Hutus. This decision leaves approximately 800,000 people dead within a hundred days by removing the only international force capable of slowing the slaughter.
