A new perspective on the Rwandan Genocide.

We spent the day yesterday interviewing Dr Joe on his experiences through the various regimes that have ruled over Congo in his lifetime. One point of that discussion was his association with Rwanda during the 100 days that 800,000 people were killed. As a doctor he chose to go into Rwanda to assist with medical necessities. He would work on an individual injured by machete or gun, and then the next day, that Tutsi individual would be gone. When questioning of the patients whereabouts, the nurse would tell him to shut up and not to ask questions. Dr Joe, looking Hutu-like, was in danger from the Tutsis at the same time in danger from the Hutus for aiding the Tutsis. A very uncomfortable position to offer assistance.  More with Dr Joe today then off to Rwanda for the wild drive into Congo. I am going to miss our western accommodations, unquestionable water and warm showers. Oh well. :)
