During some 100 days more than 800,000 people were massacred in Rwanda. What was the UN Security Council’s role in this incident? “Ruanda revisited“is about the case of the General Romeo Dallaire. The play is based on Dallaire’s elaboration of an emergency plan for an international intervention, as well as on Rwanda’s European colonial history, which was the origin of an ethical division into Hutu and Tutsi. What caused these conflicts and what are the rules that the protagonists of the peace keeping missions must follow? And: Why should a war in Africa bother us?

HANS-WERNER-KROESINGER dealt in "herero 100" with the German colonial war in Namibia, dating more than 100 years back and last showed at HAU "History Tilt", a play on the silence concerning the genocide of the Armenians and "Beirut Report".
