Shooting Dogs Page #3

What was that about?

I'm Hutu, Joe.

The Tutsis hate all Hutu.

They have kids here,

they don't hate you.

Joe, you don't understand.

So tell me. Make me understand.

The Tutsis want to become masters again.

To them we are just slaves.

- It's government propaganda.

- It's true, Joe.

Those who will not be slaves,

they will kill inside their beds.

You don't believe that sh*t.

If they can shoot our president,

no Hutu is safe.

Hutus must protect themselves or die.

I have to go.

You will be safe?

I'll go to my father's house.

Nobody's answering the phone.

Right, okay. Come on.

The front and back gates have been

fortified and the perimeter is secure.

We are apparently

hosting 400-450 refuges.

Mostly Tutsi.

We can't cope with many more.

There will be more to come. They know

you are here, they're looking for protection.

My order is I'm not to allow this

school to become a safe haven.

But you are peacekeepers.

Surely you are here to prevent bloodshed.

Peacekeepers? No.

Our mandate is very clear. We are here to monitor

the peace between Hutu and Tutsi. That is all.

Why did you bring all these guns?

Our rules of engagement allow the

use of weapons only in self-defense.

In fact to use the M-2 machine gun, I must even obtain

the approval of the Secretary General himsef.

Our mandate is not to enforce the peace,

but to monitor it.

Alright Capitaine, I can understand the difference.

Certainly these people won't.

Greenwich meantime.

Violence has broken out in the central

African republic of Rwanda,

following the death of Hutu president Juvenal

Habyarimana in a plane crash, yesterday evening.

Sources loyal to the government are blaming members of the local

Tutsi minority. They are suspected to attack the plane by rocket fire.

White men coming in big car.

To make whinings.

Christopher, I need to put them

somewhere with facilities.

Yes, of course.

We must have the facilities.

Last time they had the old offices there.

Thank you.

- Isn't that nice?

- It's really nice.

Can I use a tow truck for a while?

For what?

For Marie and Roland to bring them here.

It's not a good idea.

It's two roads there,

it would take a couple of minutes.

Straight there and back.

Hello? Anybody home?

Hello, Roland?

Marie?

Roland?

Marie?

Hello.

No, I'm a teacher.

Okay.

It's really weird out there, Christopher.

And I didn't see anybody.

That's strange.

I'm gonna need your help in the chapel shortly.

I couldn't find the Motagomas

and their house was empty.

They're over there.

I saw them five minutes ago.

Marie, where have you been?

I have just been at your house.

We had to come back way.

They were road-blocks everywhere.
