Genocide Part 3

1. When did UN officials receive warning about the genocide?
They received warning 3 months before the genocide.

2. Besides the warning given by one of the planners, what were other warning signs of the genocide?
The training of militia men was conducted openly, and the perpetrators of the genocide distributed weapons openly.

3. How did state-sponsored propaganda present the Tutsi group?
As evil and manipulative people. They were called cockroaches and snakes. All they wanted was to regain power and return Rwanda to a country that mistreated Hutus.

4. What prevented the international community from calling the violence in Rwanda "genocide"? What would have happened if they had?
After the holocaust they made an agreement which said that a genocide would never happen again. If they had called it a genocide the U.S. would have been in big trouble.

5. Once the international community withdrew its troops, what did the militia decide to do?
The militia decided to intensify the genocide, targeting resisters and officials who apposed the genocide.

6. Who does President Clinton say must share responsibility for the genocide?
The International community and nations in Africa.
