  3. Rwanda Holocaust WHO WHAT Recruits were dispatched all over the country to carry out a mass slaughter. Soldiers and police officers encouraged citizens to take part. In many cases, Hutu civilians were forced to murder their Tutsi neighbors by military personnel. There were 800,000 to 1,000,000 Rwandans Tutsis killed within 100 days. The perpetrators were Hutus.

  4. Rwanda Holocaust WHEN WHERE The Rwanda Genocide took place on a small Africa country of Rwanda. The Rwanda Genocide was the mass killing of 1994 that went on for 100 days.

  5. Rwanda Holocaust WHY The genocide was sparked by the death of the Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, when his plane was shot down above Kigali airport on April 6, 1994. A French judge has blamed current Rwandan President, Paul Kagam, denied the rock attack and said it was the work of an Hutu extremists, in order to carry out their plans to exterminate the Tutsi community. The violence began to spread from the capital throughout the country, and did not subside until three months later.

  11. Rwanda Holocaust The World Reaction As terrible as the killing was in Rwanda, the U.S. did not see its interests affected enough to launch unilateral intervention. President Clinton himself best articulated his Administration's calculus during D-Day commemorations in France on June 7 saying of U.S. humanitarian relief efforts on Rwanda "I think that is about all we can do at this time when we have troops in Korea, troops in Europe, the possibility of new commitments in Bosnia if we can achieve a peace agreement, and also when we are working very hard to try to put the U.N. agreement in Haiti back on track, which was broken. Nevertheless, throughout the crisis, considerable U.S. resources-diplomatic, intelligence and military-and sizable bureaucracies of the U.S. government were trained on Rwanda. The story of Rwanda for the U.S. is that officials knew so much, but still decided against taking action or leading other nations to prevent or stop the genocide.
