Why is his role in the death of the ten Belgian paratroopers not mentioned in this article? In Belgium he is considered a coward bearing a huge responsibility of the Rwanda Genocide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Old man peanut ( talk • contribs) 12:58, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
The Life after Rwanda Section contained a vandalized portion of text in the 2nd paragraph, and needs to be fixed with the pre-existing information. (I just removed the Blah, Blah, lol... that was written over it) - Deathsythe 11/20/06 6:30 EST
The dust jacket from "Shake Hands with the Devil" describes him as having post-traumatic stress disorder, not clinical depression.
This article should mention the trafic telegram the Dallaire sent the UN headquarters warning of the imminent genocide, and requesting permission to raid arms depots. Axeman89 21:01, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Romeo Dallaire will make a speech concerning genocide prevention at the Croatian Cultural Centre (Vancouver, BC, Canada) on June 13th at 7:30 PM —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.180.126.153 ( talk) 19:24, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
I wouldn't think LGen.Dallaire would like that Hotel Rwanda's Major was based on him to be included in the entry. Read for yourself, from MacLean's:
Q&A with Romeo Dallaire
'Mr. Nolte never talked to me. I feel slighted.'
BRIAN D. JOHNSON
More than a decade after witnessing genocide as the commander of a neglected UN force in Rwanda, Lt.-Gen. Roméo Dallaire now has to endure the indignity of seeing himself loosely portrayed -- very loosely -- by a shambling Nick Nolte in Hotel Rwanda. Like other veterans of African disasters, he's also distressed by the discrepancy between the tsunami relief and aid for crises in Rwanda and Darfur. This week, Dallaire visits the Sundance Film Festival as the subject of Shake Hands With the Devil: The Journey of Roméo Dallaire, a documentary based on his bestselling book (it airs on CBC Jan. 31). mu5ti/ ✏ 18:28, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
After much digging, I've found the official rank abbreviations for Canadian Army. [1]
What do the letters "OC" stand for after his name? This should be linked properly. Paradiso 05:18, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

What does the "A" in "Roméo A. Dallaire" stand for? LeoDV 15:45, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
It is with great admiration and respect that I write this note. The humanity of General Dallaire and his troops humbles me. God Bless.
Just a detail: general Dallaire's mother is consistently referred to, in his book as well as in this Wikipedia article, as Ms Catherine Vermeassen. There is no such name in Dutch. It should be corrected to 'Vermaesen', a surname referring to the (beautiful) river Maas. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 196.32.204.145 ( talk • contribs) .
Wow. That's the most unwieldy list of abbreviations I've seen on any bio, royals included. Is there some precedent for listing all of a person's degrees, military ranks, and other miscellaneous honors in the first paragraph like that? I'd love to knock a few of them off (the bachelor's degree comes to mind), but if someone has a reason I shouldn't, speak now. djrobgordon 02:49, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
If you read his book you would know! DUH!!!!!!!! [Recent changes patroler]Dell970 23:10, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
You inserted the claim "Gen. Romeo Dallaire defied U.N. orders to withdraw from Rwanda" which is (I believe) patently untrue.
i'm sorry, but it was true. Dallaire was ordered 3 times to plan the withdrawal of UNAMIR peacekeepers, first by Booh-Booh, head of UNAMIR, second by special political adviser to the UN Secretary-General, and third by Boutros-Ghali, the UN Secretary-General, himself. Dallaire refused to comply each time. you can read this up in Linda Melvern's book, A People Betrayed. Wongch2 12:57, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Needs to be tidied up, it is simply a chronology right now that reads like a bulletted list. Josh Hooch 17:00, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Links for sources 8, 9 and 10 are present, but not included in the body of the text. They should probably either be deleted or incorporated properly into the body. It seems Mr. Dallaire is quite unpopular in Belgium, I'm not an expert, but perhaps that should be clarified? -- 192.197.178.2 13:44, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Have added a controversy section where I invited fellow Wikipedians to expand upon the rather well documented debate as to his decision making in Rwanda. Jemesouviens32 ( talk) 07:36, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
He is probably very unpopular because he is a criminal:
"Canadian General Dallaire was aware that the soldiers were in camp Kigali. He passes the camp and sees soldiers lying on the ground when he has to go to a meeting in a building that is only 30m away from the place where the soldiers are beaten to death. A captain from Togo and 5 soldiers from Ghana tell him what is going on there. He takes no actions. Later that evening he goes to hospital where the bodies of the paras are thrown on a pile."
84.175.166.210 ( talk) 11:49, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
I saw sections about his portrayal in Hotel Rwanda and Shake Hand with the Devil; I expected something about A Sunday in Kigali. I know I heard or read something about it: he appears briefly in the movie, and I think the real Mr. Dallaire commented his portrayal in this film. I will try to look it up, and also rewatch the movie soon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mandragorae ( talk • contribs) 06:28, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
This article is lacking a section outlining Dallaire's current pursuits surrounding the eradication of the use of child soldiers. His most recent book, They fight like soldiers, they die like children, is only briefly mentioned. Dallaire states in this book that eliminating children as instruments of war is the "ultimate focus of the rest of my life." This is worthy of a section in an article outlining his life, is it not? In addition, only a brief mention of his work with the Child Soldiers Initiative appears here. I hope to have the time to address this myself, but some assistance would be appreciated ... CJMinf1001 ( talk) 01:30, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
I wonder why the criticism section was removed by 184.146.110.252 on 15 Nov 2011. Mr Dallaire's responsibility in the murder of the ten Belgian paratroopers (see http://www.senate.be/english/rwanda.html#4.11) is completely ignored by this article.-- 91.181.208.176 ( talk) 12:45, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
I second the above question. Why no mention of the 10 slaughtered Belgian troops whom he abandoned? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.173.67.90 ( talk) 21:49, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
I also support a criticism section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.114.251.212 ( talk) 08:13, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
I think that Life after Rwanda needs to be merged with Appointment to Canadian Senate section. We have many doubled information there. I'm not editing, since I'm not native English. PuchaczTrado ( talk) 06:47, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

His early childhood is barely sourced and the only time that it is, it is to a blog post about passports and citizenship problems. Therefore there is a lack of appropriate referencing. When the article talks about the end of the genocide, there is an a apparent bias with parenthesis around another statement. During the section on life after Rwanda, the author throws a random fact about him working with veterans mental health even though there is no citations that back it up. –– Lopez a4 ( talk) 15:19, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
I'm moving this section to talk for the time being. I'm not entirely sure its encyclopedic. It's seems an awful lot like WP:TRIVIA, but its certainly not sourced to anything at this point. Maybe if we can get some citations there is a way this can be rewritten to be appropriate. TimothyJosephWood 19:16, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Dallaire is the inspiration for the song "Lt. Gen. Romeo D'Allaire" by defined by what we steal on the 2004 "New Face of Freedom" in which the genocide in Rwanda was described. It was also the inspiration for the song Kigali by Canadian singer-songwriter, Jon Brooks. The song appears on his album Ours and the Shepherds, which is about Canadian war stories and the problems faced by returning soldiers. His first verse is taken directly from Dallaire's book. Also, "Romeo Dallaire" is the title of a folk song written by Canadian folk songwriter Andy McGaw. McGaw's song points squarely at the indifference and failure of the United Nations response to the Rwanda genocide. Chorus of McGaw's song:
Dallaire is the subject of the song Run Romeo Run on the 2006 album The Great Western by Welshman James Dean Bradfield. He was the inspiration for the song "Dallaire" by the Canadian folk singer Cara Luft, from her album "Darlingford". |

This section is be poorly written (grammatical and punctuation errors) and seems to contain bias.
A former sourced part detailing the official criticism of the Belgian parliamentary investigation into the death of the ten Belgian soldiers and their protected charge on the first day of the Rwandan geneocide, in which Dallaire's actions that day were considered to be negligent by the commission, was deleted. I have restored that criticism: as coming from an official government commission, lead by a later Belgian PM, this was both sourced and noteworthy. Otherwise without those critical parts the article as it was edited looks like a whitewashing of Dallaire's responsabilities. -- fdewaele, 30 August 2019, 11:25 CET
As a reader of Dallaire, I was interested to see his additional published works; found the back history of additions and removals of forwards and contributions, seemed in partly related to the COI from JDHumphreys. The section on books had a dead external reference and no archive exists and the wikipedia page on the RBC Taylor award does not list Waiting for First Light: My Ongoing Battle with PTSD as one of the nominations, although original cited article on CBC was titled "Roméo Dallaire on the longlist for 2017 RBC Taylor Prize".
Anyway, the old list that was removed in 2017 had 19, and more exist now. I have added a new subsection for Contributions, with a small selection of 8 titles based on a qualitative filter of most-reviewed, and sorted by date. Tomacpace ( talk) 18:56, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
