Overview Of History and Genocide statistics (abstract)
July 1994 casts a dark shadow over the people in Rwanda, marking the month the Worlds most ignored genocide began. Mass slaughtering by ethnic majority Hutu extremists to the minortiy Tutsdi and defiant Hutu's. In just over 100 days, over 800,000 men, women and children were hacked to death. Prior to this on 9th December 1948, the UN pasted a resolution defining genocides and it's crime in International Law.
"Genocide means any of the following acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or part, a National ethnical, racial or religious groups".
However in the context of the Rwandan genocide, the UN refused to use this word despite the fact it was indeed occurring. It uncovers the true horrors and darker motive politicians have and questions human-kind morals. Where was colonizer Belgium who introduced segregation with Ethnity? Why did France and China provide the Hutu’s with weapons? Why did France train Hutu extremists? Why did the UN fail to respond to Rwanda’s plea for help? Why were peacekeepers not able to intervene in warfare but only spectators? This historical essay will answer these questions.
