World Response

   

World Response:

No one wanted this. It was devastating to all. Pictures from inner Rwanda were getting out. People were seeing them. It was no longer a secret. It was now known world wide. There was no hiding it. Of course people wanted this devastating tragedy to stop. Although, they themselves, and their country had to stay protected. Hutu were often killed by their peers if they ever had the nerve to stick up for a Tutsi. After all, they couldn't be know as traders, now could they? It was an awful thing. “Former U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali told the PBS news program "Frontline": "The failure of Rwanda is 10 times greater than the failure of Yugoslavia. Because in Yugoslavia the international community was interested, was involved. In Rwanda nobody was interested."” (Stated in an article on history.com)
