ACCORDING TO MANY HOTEL SURVIVORS + UN GENERAL, PAUL IS A FAKE


According to many hotel survivors and the witnessing UN General there at the time,

Mr. Rusesabagina:

1) Charged for rooms, and those who couldn't pay were forced to sleep in the hotel yard. Before he took over the hotel, room and board were free.
2) Charged for food and water, including Red Cross deliveries. Those who couldn't pay drank water from the swimming pool.
3) Purchased beers and had FRIENDLY visits from high ranking genocide leaders.
4) There were no orphans in the hotel according to survivors.
5) UN general at that location corroborates that Paul wasn't the altruistic man in the movie.
6) His charitable organization has not sent any money to Rwandan survivors, and has no presence in that country.

Read "Inside The Hotel Rwanda" by Edouard Kayihura, a survivor from that hotel. Also, read the account of UN General Romeo Dallaire.

Welcome to show business. It should be about the whole ordeal, not just the savior thing. This £hit went down, and the rest of the world watched it happen. Still, the movie was good and it will help commemorate the events that took place in 1994.
