Arusha Accords

The movie “Shake Hands with the Devil” is a true story about the brutal history of the Rwandan genocide. It is originally a book that was written by Romeo Dallaire; who is a Canadian humanitarian, and retired senator, that served as a force commander of UNAMIR (United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda). The movie shows tragic scenes of how the feud between the Hutus and Tutsis affected their way of living harshly. Overall, the validity of the film is quite high, however, it contains some additional incorrect facts. Therefore, the accuracy of most of the information in “Shake Hands with the Devil” is reliable. The basic plot of the movie is that Roméo Dallaire was called on to serve as commander of the UN Assistance Mission for Rwanda. He believed that he, and the other peacekeepers were to try to achieve peace between the two warring parties. Dallaire was then shocked by the reality of what was going on, he was exposed to a violent, barbaric one hundred day genocide. General Dallaire tried his hardest to help the people in Rwanda. He fought against the lack of interest from the United Nations to help the country; his call for more support from the world fell on deaf ears. With only a few troops, Dallaire and the peacekeepers rescued thousands, and watched thousands die. In “Shake Hands with the Devil”, he re-enacts how the world chose to ignore the brutal genocide which killed numerous of Tutsis, and some Hutus. He shared his own true story of…

The Oslo Accords were the name given to two sets of agreements between the government of Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). These accords signified a drastic change in relationship between the two parties. “The Oslo Accords marked the first time that the state of Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) formally recognized one another, and publicly committed to negotiate a solution to their decades-long conflict based on territorial compromise” (Al Jazeera…

discussions have almost always fallen through. Their battle is not merely over land rights, but also has religious and sovereignly components, causing any negotiations with only a single level of diplomatic dialogue to often go awry. While the religious components of their differences are by no means the sole source of disagreements between Israel and Palestine, the religious differences are often brought up by both political leaders and other influential groups within the two countries in order…

I/ Introduction: This paper was commissioned by Ms Xiang Gao, a lecture at International Pacific College (IPC). Its purpose is to examine and analyse the conflict between Palestine and Israel in Middle East. The conflict between Israel and Palestine can be considered the most intractable conflict in the world. This conflict has been started since the late 19th and the early 20th centuries. Israel is the country, which is the only Jewish state in the world. It locates in the East of the…

billion dollars in damage. The conflict that has lasted over 130 years yet so far not one peace plan has worked. Every peace plan has tried to figure out who should control Jerusalem. The Oslo peace plan was one of the most promising, in 1993 Israel and palestine worked together to create a five year plan that would help resolve their conflicts. It broke the gaza strip into three part two of which are under control by the israelis, that part still remains the same in this year. It was also the…

the explosion fills the balloon with nitrogen and a wave of concussion, but only for the moment of a crash then the airbag generally deflates. For the most part, airbags are a great safety feature. A nose broken by a balloon beats hitting the steering wheel face first at 30 miles per hour. I, by the way, am assuming that is average crash speed, that is not based in fact. Though apparently about half fatal crashes happen at or below that speed. Who knows how fast they were going, but an eighth…

On October 26, our class focused on works by Roane Carey, David Grossman, and Deena Hurwitz; their works focused on Israelis in the peace movement and Oslo’s openings. This topic is incredibly broad, therefore this module chose authors that looked at specific lenses within the issue, To start, David Grossman essentially explains the aftermath of a Palestinian bombing incident against Israeli citizens. In his “Deadly Routine” chapter, Grossman works to show how the shock and destruction from the…

successful. Like the Northern Irish, the land of the Palestine was under dispute by another foreign force. The Palestinian, like the Catholics in Northern Ireland became a “low-status minority … subordinate to Jews in every respect ... and state and private discrimination further handicaps the Arabs.”(ESEP 100) However, unlike the Northern Irish conflict, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict cannot be observed from the framework of the “Stewart story” as it is much more nuanced. To many, the Oslo…

Nelson Mandela once said, “If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner” (Mandela). This quote signifies everything wrong with the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. The Israelis and Palestinians have barely worked with each other, so they have not been able to make peace and they choose to remain enemies. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict had been on and off for 100 years. After World War II, six million Jews were killed, and the remaining…

and Russia are improving, during the cold war Russia supported and supplied Israel?s enemies with weapons and advisor support. Russia saw Zionism (Racial Imperialism) as a direct threat against Communism within the Soviet Union. The direct support of the Palestinian militias, and Egypt by Russia created a ?War by proxy? between the Soviets and Arabs versus, the America and Israel.
