...I'm reading Shake Hands With the Devil for about the millionth time, and also watching some docs on PMCs. So it turns out about a week into the genocide, while the rest of the Western world was complaning that they couldn't go to Rwanda because they had a yeast infection or their pussies hurt or something, ONE group stepped forward to go in.
Executive Outcomes contacted UNAMIR and through them the UN's DPKO (Department of Peace Keeping Operations) to get a contract to fly into Rwanda and stop the genocide.
Now as much as people want to imagine Executive Outcomes as just a bunch of white South Africans killing poor black people for sport, one has to remember how professional they were in the Sierra Leone Civil War a few years later.
I just thought I'd throw this out there. I normally don't start Rwanda threads because it's a little emotional for me, but with what I'm doing right now writing-wise it kind of put some thoughts into my head.
