7) The younger generation that will read this book, should know that its only purpose is to disguise the cowardice by Belgian troops that were in #Rwanda during the Genocide against Tutsi, which is not even mentioned in the book.

6) The Belgian contingent of UNAMIR in 1994, known as the "Para Belges," was well-trained, well-equipped, and better informed about the real political situation in Rwanda compared to those from Bangladesh, Ghana, Senegal...
However, they abandoned the Tutsi at ETO Kicukiro and Ndera.

5) When asked about his thoughts on the decision to abandon hundreds of Tutsi who had taken refuge at ETO Kicukiro, Col. Luc Marchal said that he believed they would return home safely. He was the Commander of the Kigali sector for UNAMIR.
By now, he has prefaced the books of genocide deniers

1) Whenever I share the photo taken during the Genocide against the Tutsi, I receive feedback in my inbox about its details. However, I haven't received feedback about these children who were sharing a meal inside ETO Kicukiro before they were abandoned on this day in 1994by Belgian troops of UNAMIR to killers. This photo is symbolic and meaningful to all Tutsi refugees. The little food they had before being attacked was shared by the children. #Kwibuka30
