Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame expressed his disappointment in the international community for failing to intervene during the 1994 genocide in the country. Approximately 800,000 people died during the 100-day killing spree, where members of the Tutsi minority and Hutu moderates were targeted. President Kagame highlighted that while fellow African countries like Uganda, Ethiopia, and Tanzania were supportive during the genocide, it was the broader international community that turned a blind eye to the atrocities. The failure of nations to act during the genocide remains a significant cause of remorse, with some leaders acknowledging the missed opportunities to stop the mass killings. With dignitaries from various nations visiting Rwanda to pay their respects at the Kigali Genocide Memorial, the event serves as a reminder of the need for global unity in preventing such atrocities in the future. Kagame’s remarks underline the enduring pain and scars left by the genocide and emphasize the importance of learning from history to prevent similar tragedies in the world.
