Sections in Europe who produced ideas based on race claimed that
the people living in the area of Rwanda were an intermediate race
between the Aryan race and an inferior race. For that reason, the Hutus
began regarding the Tutsis as not true Rwandans and to think of them
as related to the colonialists from European countries who constantly
humiliated and exploited them. We all know what came next; rarely
has history seen such ruthless and ghastly slaughter. In just 100 days,

800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were ferociously slaughtered.
During the slaughter, which came to an end in July, the UN Peace Force
was withdrawn on the pretext of death of 10 soldiers, and even the
former colonial powers in the region just watched this genocide
everyone knew was coming. It was followed by Francois Mitterand's
disastrous statement that he gave to French daily, Le Figaro, on Jan 12,
1998, saying, "Genocide in that country is not so very important."

Another terrible act of genocide happened on June 11, 1995.

During the Bosnian War, the city of Srebrenica in Bosnia-Herze-
govina was declared a safe zone by the UN. People in the war zone
flooded this 'safe zone,' and a city with a pre-war population of 20,000

came to house 60,000. Dutch troops charged with protecting the region
handed over to the Serbs the city and 25,000 people who were seeking
their protection at the command of Dutch General Thom Karremans,
commander of the UN Peacekeeping Force. The slaughter that went on
for a week left behind the most awful picture of genocide, one in which
no allowance was made for women or children. To date, 64 mass graves
connected with the massacre have been identified. The search for more
is still going on.

This massacre, which took place before the eyes of the 400-member
Dutch Peacekeeping Force charged with protecting the region, is com-
memorated every July with declarations of apology from officials from

European countries and UN representatives. The UN was too feeble
even to protect this 'safe zone' under its control.
