Description
Summary:In this concise and insightful volume, Jean-Hervé Bradol and Marc Le Pape analyze the role of the aid organization Medicins San Frontieres (MSF) during the fifteen-year period that encompasses the era of the Rwandan genocide. Designed as a study of MSF in Rwanda from 1982 to 1997, the book also offers an analysis of the challenges humanitarian agencies face in situations of genocidal violence. Still, it should prove of interest to those concerned with the Rwandan genocide more broadly, presenting detailed information on specific incidents involving the experience of MSF personnel there., The volume focuses on the period from 1994 to 1997, covering the mass killings of the Rwandan Tutsis and those of displaced Hutus in and around camps for displaced persons in Rwanda and Zaire.
