Soldiers to the Rescue: Humanitarian Lessons from Rwanda
No Customer Reviews
The human tragedy in Rwanda was unexpected by many. Huge numbers of people suddenly became refugees after hundreds of thousands of Rwandans had died in genocidal violence. In the desperate conditions which ensued, governments and voluntary bodies tried to cope with a totally new and potentially overwhelming situation. This text explores the activities of the military of many countries in the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide and exodus. The authors reveal both the advantages and the drawbacks of using troops in humanitarian roles, and demonstrate the extreme difficulty of carrying out realistic analyses of cost effectiveness.
