"Not on our watch!" the crowd chanted as a parade of speakers lined up for their turn on a stage on the National Marl, the Capitol seNing as a backdrop. "The personal motivation for a lot of us is the Holocaust," said Boston-based Rabbi Or Rose of Jewish Seminarians for Justice. "Given our history and experience, we feel an obligation to stand up and speak out." (Watch why the s[tuation is desperate in Darfur- 2:03) Refugee Hassan Caber said he was forced to leave his family and flee Sudan four years ago after many were killed and raped. He urged the United States and the United Nations to act quickly, saying he had no idea where his family was or if they were OK. --'..:Ne need deeds, not words," said Caber, now of Portland, Maine. 'They need to come to Darfur today, not tomorrow, oecause what is going on is a disaster." The organizers' permit anticipated 10,000 to 15,000 people would rally, one of several events in U.S. cities this weekend against what the United Nations calls the world's worst humanitarian disaster. "It is the socially responsible, good-conscience thing to do," said Ron Fisher, who took a pre-dawn bus from Cleveland with his 15-year-old daughter, Jordyn. "It's an opportunity to show my daughter what people do when they care about something." The U.S. Park Police, which does not issue crowd estimates, reported no arrests. The event attracted high-profile speakers such as actor George Clooney, just back from Africa; Sen. Barack Obama, Dlllinois; House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California; Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel; Olympic speed skating champion Joey Cheek, who gave his bonus money to the cause; and Roman Catholic Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, archbishop of Washington. (Watch actor George Clooney tell the rally about his trig to Sudan- 2:58) "lf we care, the world will care," Obama said. "If we act, then the world will follow." Pelosi said Democrats for once agree with Bush: "This genocide must stop." Clooney and his father, Nick, a former television anchorman, interviewed families in Sudanese refugee camps. The elder Clooney described their role as reporters. "It's our job to tell you what we saw," he said. "Thousands of people hanging on by the most gossamer of threads." His son was the event's big draw. He said the United States' and United Nations' policies are failing- and citizens must "iemand change. ' '11is is in fact· the first genocide of the 21st century, but there is hope: all of you," the actor said.

Define decimation. How does this term relate to Rwanda? 2. What do Rwandans call life prior to the 1994 program of Genocide? 3. After April6, why did the Tutsi have reason to be concerned? 4. Where did the Tutsis go to escape the Hutus? Do you think this was a logical and wise decision? If you were being hunted, where would you go? 5. What did Dr. Gerard do when he learned there were Hutus among the Tutsi refugees? 6. Why is it ironic that Dr. Gerard and Pastor Ntakirutimana were involved in the killing? What other authorities figures were involved? 7. "Your problem has already found a solution. You must die." What problem is Pastor Ntakirutimana referring to? 8. How did the Hutus find Tutsis that were still alive after the initial massacres? 9. Why was Manase surprised to hear that the total killed in Rwanda was only 1 million? 1 0. How were flocks of birds a warning sign to Tutsis attempting to hide from the Hutus? 11. Based upon your knowledge of genocide, describe three examples from the reading that indicate the events in Rwanda were genocidal. Ethical Issues (Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper) 1. At the beginning of the film, Paul places far greater value on protecting his family than protecting his neighbors. But as the film progresses his sense of obligation to his neighbors and his countrymen deepens. Indeed, rather than abandon the refugees he is sheltering, he sends his family to safety while he stays behind. 2. Is his decision the morally right one? In making decisions, how much weight should one give to the welfare of one's family compared to the welfare of one's neighbors? How much weight should governments give to the welfare of foreign peoples compared to that of their own citizens? 3. The UN Colonel tells reporters that his troops are npeace-keepers," not iipeace-makers. ii By UN mandate, UN troops were permitted to use their weapons only in self-defense. If the Colonel had disobeyed orders and authorized his troops to fire on Interhamwe fighters, would he have done the right thing? 4. Do you agree that racism played a role in the international community's failure to act to stop the genocide, as the UN colonel says? The film makes no mention of other possible contributing factors, such as the disastrous U.S. humanitarian intervention in Somalia in 1993, less than a year before, which ended after a U.S. helicopter was shot down and the bodies of U.S. soldiers were dragged through the streets of Mogadishu. Does this justify the U.S. and the UN's refusal to intervene? 5. The filtn shows that there was a close relationship between the French and Hutu governments, even while the killings were going on. On the tenth anniversary of the genocide, Rwanda's president accused the French of consciously training and arming the Hutus, knowing that they would massacre Tutsis. The French deny this, yet it is indisputable that France was the Rwandan government's number-one supplier of weapons. Does this fact alone make France more culpable for the genocide than the rest of the international community? How should responsibility be allocated for what happened, both inside and outside Rwanda? 6. How has the international c01nmunity, in particular Belgium, France, the United States, and the UN, faced up to the question of responsibility and blmne in the years since the genocide? 7. In 2005, world leaders formally adopted the Responsibility to Protect [R2P]-the duty to intervene in when national governments fail to fulfill their responsibility to protect their citizens from atrocious crimes-and in 2006 the UN Security Council passed Resolution 1674, which commits the Council to protect civilians during armed conflicts. Do you agree that under certain circumstances, R2P should override sovereignty? Can you cite any examples where R2P has been or should be i1nplemented?
