In April of 1994, one of the greatest cases of human genocide in the latter half of the 20th century broke out in Rwanda. ...
Rwanda historically consisted of 2 groups: the Tutsis and the Hutus. ... The international community began to take notice of what was happening in Rwanda, but was very slow to take any action; in fact, the first move the UN made was to pull over 2,000 soldiers out of the country, to get them out of harms way. ... Because of this disaster, the administration was very cautious to proceed in further humanitarian situations, including Rwanda. ... Because the United States seemed to be staying away from Rwanda, a few other countries, most notably France, stepped in. ... The French were seen as backing the Hutus, and eventually pulled its troops out of Rwanda. ... After this, the United States began an airlift of humanitarian supplies into Rwanda. ...
Many people argue that had the United States acted earlier and actively intervened in Rwanda, the genocide could have been avoided and hundreds of thousands of lives would have been saved.
