The 1994 Rwandan Genocide Conference

In the conflict of the 1994 Rwanda Genocide Conference everybody was blaming the U.N, the MRND, and the U.S.A. some of the things they were blaming the U.N. is that they did nothing to stop the Genocide. The MRND was being blamed for the whole Genocide. The U.S.A was being blamed for the same thing the U.N was being blamed for, that they didn’t do anything to stop this violent insistent from getting way out of hand.

Rwanda grabbed the world's attention in 1994, due to reports emerging of mass murders, hundreds of thousands of people being killed for no reason. Civil war had broken out as the two tribal sections of Rwandan society, the now infamous Hutu government forces and Tutsis rebels fought each other for control of the country. The Hutus made up about 88% of the population at that time, vastly outnumbering the Tutsis, who made up 11%. The opposing armies were being inhuman and brutal, neither side showing mercy towards the civilians of the opposing ethnic group. Nobody was spared weapons. Whole villages and towns were either wiped out or forced to flee into towns. In less than five weeks an estimated 980' 000 people died. For what I feel about all this, is that this Genocide is mostly the FAR and the MRND fault. The FAR took part in the massacres of Tutsis and moderate Hutus. The MRND organized the violence.

I was the U.N. and it seemed that everybody was blaming the U.N. for not doing anything about this. Before the Rwandan Genocide happened, the U.N. had been demanded 30' 000 UN troops for Somalia from America. Once that ended we had pretty much ran out of supplies to even help out in Rwanda. We tried to help out over their, but the U.S.A wouldn't send over supplies and tanks that we asked for. So once we herd they weren’t going to give us back up or the supplies that were need to help out we decided to pull out troops out of their for their own protection. We had already lost once 10 soldiers and we didn’t want to put these soldiers back in another war that Rwanda needs to fight for their own country. This is their problem and they need to be the ones to figure out how to solve it.
