Capt. Mbaye Diagne's Home Video
These excerpts are from the video Diagne recorded from mid-May until his death on May 31, 1994. He filmed in the time between his U.N. peacekeeping duties and his rescue missions - missions in which he ignored orders to remain neutral and saved hundreds of lives. These excerpts offer a glimpse of how Diagne's charm and friendliness won over so many - even the genocidaires.
