Shake Hands with the Devil

Vultures infest Uganda's Makarere University. I learned that they used to be uncommon, but have been prevalent on the campus since the genocide in bordering Rwanda.

Though I already knew about the genocide, somehow seeing the vultures really drove it home. I couldn't help thinking that it could happen again so easily...

Since I got back, I've started reading Romeo Dallaire's Shake Hands with the Devil. It's a sobering read, but I feel like it's a neccesary one - such tragic events could easily have been prevented or, at the very least, made less harsh. I am so glad that General Dallaire has not remained quiet about what he calls "humanity's failure in Rwanda."
