Roméo Dallaire idézet

Roméo Dallaire író, nyugalmazott szenátor és kanadai tábornok. A ruandai 1994-es népirtáskor jelenlévő ENSZ-békefenntartók, az UNAMIR parancsnokaként, 275 katonával volt kénytelen maradni a polgárháborúban. Ez a szerencsétlenül sikerült akció a hutu szélsőségesek tuszik elleni népirtásának megállítását kísérelte meg.

Ő az alapítója a The Roméo Dallaire Child Soldiers Initiative-nek, ami a gyerekkatonák toborzását, kiképzését és harcba küldését szándékozott megakadályozni. Ezenkívül több, népirtás elleni szervezet munkatársa. Wikipedia

“For most countries, serving the UN's objectives has never seemed worth even the smallest of risks. Member nations do not want a large, reputable, strong and independent United Nations, no matter their hypocritical pronouncements otherwise. What they want is a weak, beholden, indebted scapegoat of an organization, which they can blame for their failures or steal victories from.”

“I think the people in the field were magnificent. And they got the stories, and I put troops at risk to get their stories out every night. But the copy people and the editing people back home, they're the ones who put Tanya Harding on and O. J. Simpson, not the guys in the field.”

When asked about life after UNAMIR

“The possibility of starting a new program at the college — a military Cegep that would allow all officer cadets to spend two years in Saint-Jean before going to Kingston, instead of studying only in Kingston — is being considered. In the spirit of progress, would it be possible to support a principle as basic as the freedom of francophones in the Canadian Armed Forces by establishing a Cegep-style francophone bilingual military college.”
