Rwanda was considered a second-class operation because it was a small country we had been able to maintain a kind of status quo. They were negotiating they'd accepted the new peace project so we were under the impression that everything would be solved easily.

One of the matters that must be addressed is that Rwanda and Uganda have to leave the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We're also supporting processes to ensure that the political dialogue among the Congolese themselves takes place so that the people there can decide their future.

My dad was a journalist. He was in Rwanda right after the genocide. In Berlin when the wall came down. He was always disappearing and coming back with amazing stories. So telling stories for a living made sense to me.

It depends on the situation. I mean on one hand there's the argument that people should be left alone on the other hand there's the argument to wade in a stop slaughters in places like Bosnia and Kosovo and what we probably should have done in Rwanda.
