Thank you.

No. Nobody passes!

It's restricted.

I must find Col. Bagosora.

I have orders.

If you drive through, we'll fire!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

You're not allowed!

Take aim.

Good day, General.

Where's Col. Bagosora?

You can't go on foot, hop in.

Thank you.

Col. Bagosora is

at the military college.

- Stop!

- Can't stop...

Those are my men!

- It's an order!

- They're out of control!

The camp is out of control.

Goddammit!

General!

Gen. Dallairel

Come this way.

We believe that

only our Crisis Committee

can restore order

to the people of Rwanda.

I expect your cooperation.

And for the details...

General Dallaire,

welcome.

I was hoping

you'd address the ofcers.

First, I deeply regret

the loss of your president.

Some of your units are overcome

by grief and anger.

I understand.

But they've committed grave cn'mes.

That must cease right now.

We in UNAMIR are staying put.

We will do all we can

to prevent renewed civil war.

We won't abandon Rwanda.

Thank you.

What if war resumes?

One moment...

What about my men at Camp Kigali?

I don't know.

But the radio says Belgians

shot down the president's plane.

That's bullshit!

What about my men?

The camp is mutinous.

I want to go in right now.

UNAMIR must stay out of this.

UNAMIR is not leaving.

I've a message from Gen. Kagame.

If the killings don't stop

before sunset,

he'll order in his troops.

If nothing's done, Colonel,

this means war.

If you'll excuse me.

I want to see my men!

General,

I'm told your men

are at Kigali Hospital.

One moment, General.

He says the bodies

of the Belgians are in back.

Bodies?

Did he say the bodies?

He says back there,

behind the morgue.

One...

two, three,

four, five, six,

seven, eight...

No.

Seven, eight,

nine...

Seven, eight...

nine,

ten...

Nine,

ten...

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?
