More tales from the UN
Aug 02, 2004 17:41
A line of grim-faced United Nations peacekeepers force back hundreds of desperate Tutsis trying to fight their way onto trucks.
Close by, Hutu militias wait, sharpening their machetes. The truck engines start up, but only white people are allowed to board.
Panic spreads through the crowd about to be left behind. Terrified at the fate in store for them, some try to lie in front of the trucks. Others beg the UN troops to shoot them before they leave.
These events are being recreated in chilling detail for Shooting Dogs - but really happened at a school in Kigali 10 years ago.
