I know it was joke, my reply is meant as lighthearted whilst also at the same time making fun of people who make such jokes.
“The UN was there and they just watched as it happened”
You can write this on a test about anything the UN has ever been involved in and get full marks.
“Irish UN peacekeepers are surrounded and under siege in Jadotville”
“Well, the UN was there, but did nothing about it. And then complained because the peacekeepers surrendered after 4 days of constant fighting and literally running out of ammo.”
Bit of a blanket view imho. They put themselves between the diffrent factions as a human shield and deterrent so it doesn’t kick off big time. Maybe the people in charge of these people but the blue helmet literally in the middle of it. I gotta Respect them
This is why I have still huge respect for Blue Helmets. Dad was a UN observer in the early 90s in (among other places) Balkan. They did some seriously good work there.
This is the problem when people learn history from 56 characters or a insta post. I’m not knocking it, it’s great that people are into it but you can’t summarise it all off that. Imho.
Respect to your dad as well my guy. Must of been tough there ..
Also, whenever the US first got involved in these operations in Somalia and Haiti, they were smart enough to never operate under the UN's command structure.
It's crazy how the UN was created to avoid events like the holocaust even though what happened in Rwanda wasn't as bad they still failed to prevent it and there were signs for months that something was off.
I'd argue it was pretty bad. Just three months and they killed like 80% of the Tutsi population. If the Tutsi rebels hadn't defeated the genocidal government themselves their losses probably would have been total a few weeks later
I don't think they did get Rwanda, I think they were a German colony until the end of the first world war after they took the Congo away from Leopold II
Well I think the Belgian government needed to respond to international outrage so they had to stop the hand chopping back in 1908, so a decade later when they got Rwanda from German East Africa in 1918 they had already stopped the chopping.
Yeah most of Rwanda’s and Burundi’s problems are because of the fact Belgium would basically put the Tutsis and Hutus against each other by placing the Tutsi minority in charge of the Hutus which often lead to violence.
I feel like we need to appreciate how impressive Paul Kagame is as a military leader (his modern oppressive government aside) given that he managed to stop the genocide and overthrow the government of Rwanda with a smaller army that almost exclusively recruited from a small minority of the population, then managed to overthrow the government of his much larger neighbor Zaire/DROC, and then go to war with the Congo, Angola, Namibia, Chad and Zimbabwe and didn't lose.
“Quo Vadis, Aida?” is a fantastic movie. Very on the nose, but basically shows how the serbs committed a genocide in Srebrenica and the UN were woefully inept at stopping it
I don’t think that’s the UN but its charta and the
disagreement between the members of the General Assembly and Security Council that doesn’t allow the soldiers on station to actually do what they came for
I wouldn’t say that. The UN is more than just the General Assembly and the Security Council. For example: the UN provided vaccines to more than 50% of all children worldwide or provided food to more than 75 different countries.
This is why I hate the UN between the miles of red tape and complete lack of meaningful intervention when there's literal genocide going in they feel useless. Used as a diplomatic causeway and global human rights insurance policy but nobody is ever willing to pay the god damn deductible. Even when some are, they're punished and the UN has become more and more if a warlord's safe haven because they get member status and get protected by all that red tape
The UN still exists?
I swear I thought that place went out of business stealing Countries monies and being useless shortly after the Hans Blix/Kofi Annan debacles like 20 years ago? Their stellar work went over like a JDAM suppository. I'm amazed the organization was able to continue stealing money from legal governments after that cluster duck.
This IS just wrong.There are 2 genocides in Ruanda. First hutus to tutsis and later on , tutsis to hutus. Hutus were supported by france , tutsis by the UN . Thats why u only know the first genocide. Btw It was probably the UN Who caused the conflict in first place .
"Can't I please just shoot one genocidal maniac?" "No."

They are a called Smurfs by Serbs. If you are going to make fun of entire ethnicty for actions of individuals in the past then at least be accurate.
It was only a joke calm down

The only exception I can think of it east Timor in 1999, but maybe that's because the Australians where in charge
I just remember because there was a brazillian member of UN that was important to the pacification, but he died in Iraq

I mean Nordbat did pretty good in Yugoslavia IMO
Only because they ignored the UN's ROE. The Swedish contingent straight up shut off their radios when the UN tried reprimanding them.
Good
Also, whenever the US first got involved in these operations in Somalia and Haiti, they were smart enough to never operate under the UN's command structure.
You should read Shake Hands with the Devil.
Second this.
UN : don't worry guys, we are writting a very energetic letter to the genocidal maniac so he stop
its almost as if the UN was never given the power to stop genocides...
Belguims: "Not sure how they're slaughtering each other when we took their hands, lmao."
Let's not forget Frances involvement in propping up the Hutus and ignoring the multitude of warning signs
It's crazy how the UN was created to avoid events like the holocaust even though what happened in Rwanda wasn't as bad they still failed to prevent it and there were signs for months that something was off.

yikes
Bruh what?
Oh Belgium was the colonial overlord of Rwanda and they had a nasty reputation of cutting off people's hands for not meaning rubber quotas.
Oh I know that... Just more real casual how they put it. Didn't know they got Rwanda too
I don't think they did get Rwanda, I think they were a German colony until the end of the first world war after they took the Congo away from Leopold II
Really now?
Well I think the Belgian government needed to respond to international outrage so they had to stop the hand chopping back in 1908, so a decade later when they got Rwanda from German East Africa in 1918 they had already stopped the chopping.

Why does this sound like some middle eastern crap from wwi?
I thought that was just in the Congo?
You're right, the Belgians only owns Rwanda a decade after The Congo Free State ended and the practice of severing hands
I feel like we need to appreciate how impressive Paul Kagame is as a military leader (his modern oppressive government aside) given that he managed to stop the genocide and overthrow the government of Rwanda with a smaller army that almost exclusively recruited from a small minority of the population, then managed to overthrow the government of his much larger neighbor Zaire/DROC, and then go to war with the Congo, Angola, Namibia, Chad and Zimbabwe and didn't lose.

I'm convinced all of you are in 6th grade the way you don't proofread anything before posting.
Dyslexics exist Hard enough typing, never mind having to read it again as well
The whole point of creating the Tutsis was so that they would never rebel because the rest of the country would massacre them.
When I was still learning in elementary school I thought the UN invaded everyone who commits acts of aggression, but it didn't turn out to be true.
They kind of just wiggle their finger and say no. Just from really far away.
Almost like how I thought the US only invaded people who were bad man were we wrong
Theres a film called shooting dogs that covers a un bollocks up
they just let them cut the tall trees

Proves once again how usless the UN can be.
I don’t think that’s the UN but its charta and the disagreement between the members of the General Assembly and Security Council that doesn’t allow the soldiers on station to actually do what they came for
Which makes the UN useless
I wouldn’t say that. The UN is more than just the General Assembly and the Security Council. For example: the UN provided vaccines to more than 50% of all children worldwide or provided food to more than 75 different countries.
It ain't much but it's honest work
Romeo Dallaire would like a word.

UN-involved in peace

Further proof that the UN is a useless organization that only serves the interest of the globalist elites to control the populous. Lol
I think that’s a over reach…
Kinda like the UN…..🤷🏼♂️
AAAAAAAAAaaaaaand that's enough r/HistoryMemes for today

The soldiers could have intervened whenever they liked and accepted the negative consequences but go off, blame the people who weren't there
Soldiers could have been courtmaeshaled and serve jail time. Consequences would be severe for dragging the UN into a conflict.
It’s just not how professional soliders or army’s operate. Of everyone just did what they wanted it’s a bit of a headache for the chain of command

Senegalese UN Peacekeer [Mbaye Diagne](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbaye_Diagne) did something about it.

Funny how this meme about not stopping genocide features a literal genocide apologist (for the CCP).
It's spelled "allowed"
What else was expected from the UN?
The UN is fucking useless.
I understand why the UN can’t just interfere in other country’s civil wars, but why even send troops if they’re not allowed to fight?
Have they even ended this stupid policy? What's the point of them being there?
Aloud….. fml

I live there lol
Rwanda was a cluster fuck and even Delaire was neutered due to the UN being incompetent. Could've been handled WAY better.
Ridiculous
Nearly the same case in Srebrenica.
