Post #3 Murder!!!

          Murder, genocide, whatever you want to call it is okay by me. I just wish we could call it nothing for it never happening in our world. Genocide anywhere is heart wrenching. In the early 1990s the population in Rwanda, around seven million, was mainly formed by the people of Hutu. Lesser formed by Tutsi and Twa. In 1992 The Hutu's people felt that it was the lesser ethnic groups for their increasing social, economic, and political problems.
          Even though people knew about the massive murders they still do nothing to change their actions. After April 6, 1994, 80,000 women, children, and children perished as a result of the Rwanda genocide. When the leaders finally voted in disapproval, the people listened and changed their tactics. Although, in changing their tactics they still did not change their underlined goal. The governments and people everywhere still have appart of the shame of the crime due to that they did nothing to stop the killing of so many people. "Even after it had become indisputable that what was going on in Rwanda was a genocide, American officials had shunned the g-word, fearing that it would cause demands for intervention."
