To alleviate the suffering UN Peace Keepers were sent in under a UN mandate. These Australians would be exposed to a lack of humanity they were not prepared for and found hard to understand. On 22 April 1995, at a displaced persons camp in Kibeho, in full view of Australian soldiers, over 4,000 unarmed men, women and children dies in a hail of bullets, grenades and machete blades at the hands of the Rwandan Patriotic Army. Constrained by the Rules of Engagement, the Australians could only watch helplessly and try to assist the wounded.
