Peacekeeping


"I remember getting there on the Wednesday and that was four days preceding the massacre and we certainly weren't wanted. The government forces made that very, very clear but did respect the UN's presence. Didn't want us but did respect that we could be there they made our life difficult and insisted that we only treated people who had decided to leave the camp. We couldn't advertise. We had to have no more than two minutes with people. We couldn't feed them. Very hard to explain what drugs to take and how to pick anything wrong when you're just watching people walk by."
