5 QUOTES WITH «RWANDAN»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word Rwandan.
1
Romeo Dallaire
I promised never to let the Rwandan Genocide die because I knew the Rwandans didn't have much power internationally and certainly didn't have the resources. I felt it was my duty having witnessed it, and having stayed to witness it, that I had to talk about it and keep it going.
2
Romeo Dallaire
I think the only value of 'Hotel Rwanda' is the fact that it keeps the Rwandan genocide alive, but as far as content, it's Hollywood.
3
Tony Greig
I think today that it is essential that the Rwandan tribunal continues to prosecute efficiently. And if the U.N. fails to do that, it is sending entirely the wrong message to people who are in the position to complete these atrocities again.
4
Dinaw Mengestu

Lee Siegel
'Hotel Rwanda' is an American product, not a Rwandan one, made primarily for American audiences.
