Well you are safe now

and that's what matters.

Listen, classrooms are getting pretty busy, why don't you

take my room? It will be much more comfortable for you.

Thank you, Joe. But, you see, many of our

neighbors here. I think we should be with them.

You're sure?

Thank you for coming to find us.

Surely there's no time to celebrating already.

Well, I just wanted to inform you that I shall be giving a briefing

of the situation as we know it to everyone at 6.00 hours.

Everyone, Charles?

The Europeans.

The indication are that it is a coup.

There's also a word that the detachment

of French regime may be sent here.

Reinforcements?

In case of a need to evacuate.

It may become unattainable to provide

security for these many Tutsi.

Around here we just call them Rwandans.

Who is in charge here?

My name is Ingulimziwa.

I am the former minister of

this so-called government.

And I must tell you that the killing going on

outside is not simply random. This is all planned.

You must alert your superiors in New York.

You must intervene.

Sir, we are here as peace monitors, nothing more.

There's no mandate for anything else.

Captain, you're no doubt aware what

the Nazis attempted to do with the Jews.

Of course.

This is what we are facing here.

These Hutu extremists, who have taken

control, even call this "the Tutsi problem".

They plan to wipe the Tutsi out.

Do you understand me?

All of them.

She says, she was hiding behind her house.

There were Interahamwe in the streets.

Intera what?

Militias, gangs of militia.

Interahamwe means "those who strike together".

They were checking identity cards, like this.

She said she was very scared

because she's a Tutsi.

She saw one woman and her baby girl.

They kicked the woman in the stomach

and began to take off her clothes.

One of them took the baby by the feet and

swung her against the tree, so the baby hit her had.

They kept swinging

until the baby was dead.

Listen to me, you are safe here.

But I'm Tutsi.

If we all stay together in here then we're safe.

There's too many people here, alright?

Alright?

I promise you.

There has been some rumour

and speculations around.

I'll ask you to disregard anything but the facts.

Our best analysis is that a coup has occurred.

We've been assured that an government

will be restored very soon in the meantime.

We are on full contact with your embassies.

And of course an evacuation protocol

is being put into effect.

What does he say?

He says everything is going to be alright.

My father would like to speak to you.

One at a time.

We have organized ourselves.

There will be three groups, one will be security,

watching people who are coming in.
