Guns Over Kigali

In Guns Over Kigali, Henry Kwami Anyidoho shares an eyewitness account of his experiences during the 1994 civil war in Rwanda. Serving on the ground as the Deputy Force Commander for the United Nations peacekeeping mission (UNAMIR) and head of the Ghanaian contingent, Anyidoho offers a firsthand perspective on the events as they unfolded.

This personal memoir chronicles the critical months leading into the conflict and the severe realities faced by peacekeepers stationed in Kigali. Rather than an detached study, the book presents a direct narrative from a senior African military officer caught amidst an escalating crisis.

Written with clarity and restraint, this account will appeal to readers interested in East African history, international diplomacy, military affairs, and the complexities of peacekeeping operations across the continent.
