Century of Humanity

Century of Humanity, originally uploaded by camera_rwanda.

"No matter how idealistic the aim sounds, this new century must become the Century of Humanity, when we as human beings rise above race, creed, colour, religion and national self-interest and put the good of humanity above the good of our own tribe. For the sake of the children and our future. Peux ce que veux. Allons-y."

Lt. General Roméo Dallaire, Force Commanding Officer of the UN Assistance Mission To Rwanda, 1993-1994.

From his conclusion to _Shake Hands With The Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda.



Please read his book if you are interested in learning about Rwanda's history and about our own imperfect humanity.
