Rwanda 1994

Between April and June of 1994, 800,000 Rwandans were killed in just 100 days. The Rwandan genocide occurred as part of the civil war between two ethnic groups — the Tutsis and the Hutus. The genocide was sparked by the death of Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu. The mass murdering began with Hutus killing Tutsis and moderate Hutus by the thousands. Civilians were encouraged to take part, killing their neighbors for incentives like food and money. The international community ignored the atrocities being committed. The UN of all people should feel ashamed for pulling out because of their loss of 10 soldiers. That does not give motivation to pull out. It is especially disturbing when more lives were risked daily of the African American people; inconsideration such as that makes them the instigator as well. I feel greatly disturbed because of all the lying or so called ‘politics’ we deal with when it comes to human rights. An example of this was when Clinton lied about the Genocide in Rwanda; it was one of the greatest failures of his presidency 1994.

(To further my knowledge, I watched Hotel Rwanda, although not 100% accurate, did give me a mental picture of what took place)
