True Blue History - Rwanda Peacekeeping Mission
Genocidal massacres and human suffering cost the lives of an estimated one million barely describe the terror endured by Rwandans in the mid-1990s. Australian peacekeepers were sent to help as part of United Nations peacekeeping efforts. However, constrained by the UN peacekeeping rules-of-engagement, Australian peacekeepers watched in horror as the Rwandan Patriotic Army brazenly murdered over 4,000 people at the Kibeho Displaced Persons Camp on 22 April 1995. Platoon Sergeant Kevin ‘Irish’ O’Halloran was an eyewitness of the massacre. Kevin discusses his book, Pure Massacre, and shares his insights into what many have described as a time of pure evil.
