Thursday night Frontline airs the Ghosts of Rwanda on most PBS stations. An extensive webstie is already online for this 2 hour documentary co-produced with the BBC.
Also, on Monday, the Sundance Channel airs 3 docs on Rwanda.

Read Romeo Dallaire's new book "Shake Hands with the Devil" for a vivid, gripping and utterly chilling look a the Rwandan genocide.
Dallaire was the Canadian general that headed the UN mission in Rwanda and reading the book is like watching a descent into hell from the sidelines.

Thanks. One of the documentaries on Sundance is about him.

Noticed your post about Rwanda today. Other bloggers are talking about darkening their sites on Tuesday, the day the genocide started ten years ago, as a show of support and mourning for the people of Rwanda. Ten years on, and no high level diplomats have felt the necessity to visit the country for their memorial ceremonies.

Once again, in a way, the world is turning it's back on this small country.
If you like the idea, replace your main page with html that displays a black frame, and maybe a short explanation of why your page is dark, maybe a link to a page explaining the history of the genocide.

If you can't do that, maybe just mention the anniversary. And spread the word. It's a small gesture, but it would be nice and right for the blogsphere to make a statement.
