@crystalski how can I get in touch with you when you are taking 5 hours to answer the phone?

There’s not enough land to go around in Burundi — and it could push the country into civil war http://t.co/PIwabTUkkx

[Dean White @deanwhite99]

It's finally arrived - my first book. Thanks @ManchesterUP

@JaneCorbin1 Are you actually suggesting Kagame's failure to stop genocide is of moral equivalence to the Hutu killing 1m Tutsi? #Rwanda

[Dean White @deanwhite99]

@BBCTwo seem to again be confusing war in #Rwanda and genocide. After 20 years thought BBC would have realised Kagame did NOT kill 1m people

[Dean White @deanwhite99]

Flippant but true - media paid more attention to World Cup in USA which kicked off 20 years ago today than the #RwandaGenocide.

Great film about #Rwanda by students of St John's School Leatherhead @werememberwanda http://t.co/ScgbYt3mMK

@melverncom @allafrica. Yet only a few - including the BBC's @Doylebytes - will acknowledge that the media got it so tragically wrong.

@JasonRalph4 @Ir2Pwg As many missions have shown, without troops from a P5 nation other countries slow to contribute (other than Bangladesh)

[Dean White @deanwhite99]

@JasonRalph4 UK has power to add legitimacy to missions as well as log. support. Without leadership from UN P5 missions in Africa will fail.

[Dean White @deanwhite99]

@Bidadash @IndyWorld. Saying UK ignored warnings on #Rwanda is gross simplification. See my thesis http://t.co/ZitgJrpNPd which explains why

[Dean White @deanwhite99]

When will Ed Balls & Milliband realise that stunts like their mocking of Gove at #budget2014 is what gives MPs such a bad rep. with public?

[Dean White @deanwhite99]

Are #Russia and #ukraine about to prove @tomfriedman wrong? Two Countries with McDonalds might just be about to go to war with each other.

[Dean White @deanwhite99]

@EdMilliband to argue his case "village by village, town by town". Pretty sure Gaddafi used the same line as quoted in @lindseyhilsum book.

@EthnicZebras #Gatabazi buried this day in 1994. Funeral went off peacefully & the crowd applauded RPF in funeral procession. #Rwanda20yrs

#Rwanda20yrs British ambassador in note to London 24/2/94: "Habyarimana both the key & major impediment to implementation of Arusha Accords"

[Dean White @deanwhite99]

20yrs ago today UK's ambassador, Edward Clay, visited #Rwanda. 1st visit in 4yrs. Predicted resumption of civil war but def. not genocide.

20 years ago this week Belgian intelligence said "importance should not be given to Interahamwe" http://t.co/qv6nCQtL2B. How wrong! #Rwanda
