In 1994 there was a terrible attack on innocent people. A fight between the Tutsi and the Hutu people left a total of 800,000 dead and who knows how many more wounded. These attacks kept coming and coming, day after day, night after night, until a remarkable 100 days.
T
he killing of Juvenal Habyarimana is what started this entire thing. His plane was shot down in Kigali Airport and some people believe that is what started this entire thing.
The United States of America never did officially get into this whole Rwanda Genocide. They actually never put troops in Rwanda. In fact William Christopher told officials to NOT use "genocide." On May 21 Christopher finally let officials use "genocide" after this was happening for a month or two. Apparently people have said that we knew the person doing all of the killing.
This is a terrible thing to happen to so many innocent people! I think the United States should of got into it and try and save people, but due to them not getting into it a total of 800,000 people lost there lives to these sickening attacks.
There are no pictures because my computer froze everytime I tried to get a picture up.
