This article mostly centers on the effects of the genocide. It is mainly about the how the rift between the Hutus and the Tutsis went very far back in the timeline of Rwanda, which made the impact of the genocide itself even more severe than it might have been had the division between the two groups been premature. It also discusses how the outcome of the genocide could have been lessened or prevented had the UN and other countries intervened in time, and repeatedly brings up questions about how the outcome could have been different had they stepped in, which is a point that I specifically address in my poem.

But, the introduction starts off by trying to justify the non-interference by other countries, and segues into information about the International Criminal Tribunal of Rwanda. Most of the rest of the article focuses on a commander and an informant whose communication, when passed onto the UN, refused to be acknowledged. The main message of the article is to explain the few reasons, including the discovery of new information, which led the US not getting very much involved. The tribute is a technique I implement in the end of my poem to justify the lack of international response.

The feature mostly describes the events that led to the genocide, including ethnic tensions, and the reasons for the hostility (which I address in my poem). It doesn’t go too deep into the genocide or the after-affects, but skims the surface just to give the gist of the event. It is more to gauge the reader’s understanding of why it happened rather than tell it like every other history resource. It is told in a way that creates a mental picture of the timeline of the genocide.

In Germany, during the 1940’s, most people stood by as these events happened. Their behaviour is not unique to Germany and has been repeated throughout history. As the bystanders displacement of human weakness contributes to the genocide itself. More recently this type of behaviour was demonstrated in Rwanda. The film Hotel Rwanda articulates the significant impact that speaking truth to authority can have.

18 In the article, “The Rwandan Genocide: Why Early Warning Failed,” Gregory H. Stanton explains what went wrong in Rwanda from 1990 through 1994 causing the massacre of at least 500,000 and possibly 1,000,000 Rwandans, mainly of the Tutsis ethnic group. The United Nations perceived it as a civil war, denying the facts which would make it genocide. The United States, along with the United Nations, have a moral duty to intervene, once it is labeled genocide. Furthermore, the legal counsel given made it difficult to decide what genocide is and is not.

The Rwandan genocide was a mass slaughter of the Tutsi population that lasted 100 days from the 7th of April to the 15th of July in 1994. Although the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda existed at the time, Canada and the international community still failed to help Rwanda as a whole, as individual countries, and by not doing what they could to aid Roméo Dallaire. As an international community as a whole, there was far more that could have been done to help Rwanda through the United Nations and as individual countries. UNAMIR, or United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda, was made to keep peace in Rwanda and started a year before the genocide occurred.

Ajayi, L. (2015).

International Journal Of Bilingual Education & Bilingualism, 18(4), 463-484. doi:10.1080/13670050.2014.924475 Ajayi notes that the combined issues of an increasingly diverse student population in American high schools joined with the demands of high stakes testing and lack of evidence-based, scaffolded instruction for bilingual students are compounding the numerous problems of effective English Language Arts (ELA) instruction for these students.

In April of 1994, the group of Rwandans which identified themselves as Hutu began brutal attacks against the other group within Rwanda, the Tutsis. Until the end of this genocide, in July of 1994, the Hutus murdered hundreds of thousands of Tutsis, and some moderate Hutus. This humanitarian crisis gained global attention, but nothing was done to stop it, and condemn it. This crisis has also had a lasting impact on how those who did not act are perceived, and how they will continue to be perceived around the world. The U.S. should have intervened in the Rwandan genocide to stop the murders of the hundreds of thousands of innocent people, as well as to demonstrate that attacks like this are impermissible and immoral, and lastly because the genocide has had a lasting impact on the people of Rwanda and how America and the UN is viewed.

Globalization is a massive thing that affects every person on the planet in one way or another. This source raises the argument that globalization is a disease that harms people in more ways then it helps and needs to be stopped before it wipes out the human race. This raises a good point is some ways because globalization does harm humans in many way such as losing jobs due to outsourcing and the people who get the outsourced jobs are put into horrible working conditions and underpaid without benefits. But it also helps in some ways with trade and communication strengthening the relations of countries. I do agree with the source that globalization harms many people but not quite to the extent that the author goes to, I think that

The death of the Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarima caused a lot of chaos during the Rwandan genocide. The Hutus thought that the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) killed the Hutu president so they started to slaughter civilians. The Belgian colonists thought that the Tutsi were more superior to the Hutus. There were quite a few causes that started the Rwanda genocide.

"Rwanda can be a paradise again, but it will take the love of the entire world to heal [it]" (Ilibagiza 209). Rwanda may have previously been a paradise, but today it stands as a troubled country in the midst of rebuilding itself in the aftermath of a devastating genocide. As one of the most densely populated countries in Africa, agriculture is their main industry, yet often Rwandan families rely on imports, as their food production is limited. Although the Rwandan economy is growing stronger due to trade, business growth is extremely limited, and over one third of the population is below the poverty line. Many Rwandan citizens are poorly supported and face inequality in their everyday lives (CIA).

Rape is sometimes difficult to be described but in simplest term of the Federal Bureau Investigation (FBI), defines rape as “Penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.” The second aspect of war is rape which is considered as a mode of attack in societies such as in Africa as it invests particular values in the family and in women, making them the bearers of the patriarchal honour, family honour and national identity. For Doris E. Buss: “Rape in wartime is not a simple by-product of war, but often a planned and targeted policy”. If we take the example of the widespread phenomenon of rape that took place during the violence and 1994 Genocide in Rwanda, is a holocaust of shame “in the weeks after April 6, 1994, 800,000 men, women, and children perished in the Rwandan genocide” .
