This is General Henry Kwame Anyidoho (born 13 July 1940). He was a Ghanaian military officer. Thirty (30) years ago, he led Ghana’s contingent in UN Peacekeeping Mission in Rwanda in 1994 during the genocide.
General Anyidoho led Ghana’s military to serve in UNAMIR (United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda) under Canadian General Roméo Dallaire. Anyidoho, who had experience in peacekeeping missions in Lebanon, Cambodia, and Liberia, served as the Deputy Commander of UNAMIR, in addition to his role as head of the Ghanaian contingent.
In recorded accounts by the former Commander of UNAMIR General Dallaire, in his book “Shake Hands With the Devil”, General Anyidoho and his Ghanaian contingent were singled out for praise for their courage and resourcefulness. They were given credit for sheltering thousands of Tutsis and Hutu moderates, saving them from death.
When the Belgian government decided to withdraw their peacekeeping contingent, the UN Security Council instructed Dallaire to prepare to withdraw UNAMIR. Dallaire sought advice from General Anyidoho, who indicated to him that he and his Ghanaian troops would not leave. Ghana contingents stayed, against UN orders and protected Rwandans

Finn’s Fight #DIPG: 12 months. So fast, but an eternity lives between these pictures. We knew it was going to be hard, I just didn't know how hard it was going to be. DIPG came for his left arm, took his left leg, right eye, right arm, right leg and then his voice. Nothing left but the nod of his head and the roll of his eyes. But that's not Finn. The devil may have taken his ability to move, but it couldn't take his strength. He is 100% here, with all of his astounding intelligence, hysterical humor and stubbornness to quit. He wants to be in school and most of all with his friends. He tells us all the amazing things he is going to build and do when he gets better. As nervous as he was, he asked to be in the school pictures. He is determined. One week from today he will begin a treatment called SonALAsense. A treatment we pray will be the beginning to the end of a very, very devastating and cruel disease
…and demand an immediate arrest and bring the appropriate charges:
