it's simple, people. The genocide was ignored because much of the West doesn't give a shit about Africa. It's a resource rich trash dump in the eyes of Western business. A place to fight proxy wars over. But not to get involved in actually helping people live good lives. And this is coming from an American. I'm saying that we Americans and Europeans need to seriously improve the way we treat Africa.
The mere thought that the US might be blamed for meddling in another states affairs has never been significant enough to keep it from taking action, where it sees itself acting for significant interests. We've been blamed plenty of times for stepping into situations taking place within other borders; the criticism was hardly ever a surprise.
While it's a sympathetic story, we have to realize that we can't prevent everything. We can't be everywhere also, even if there are disasters going on.
Killing Humans as if they have no worth, wickedness of mankind, it is written in revelation 22:12 And Behold I come Quickly and my reward is with me To give every man according as his work shall be..
Yea step off America and do shit yourselves. Yes we should have stepped in, but people are pussies a couple 500pound bombs on key targets and this shit would have ended. its a shame those people died for nothing.
Not excusing the decision made by the Americans during this crisis, however, nobody else stepped in to do something. The entire world bears the same level of blame.
@Sashajoon Yeah but france and america had actually backed the hutu government against the tutsi so they do bear some responsibility. I am not saying they intended there to be a genocide but they indirectly helped bring it about.
thats not funny what that man said that was just stupid it doesnt matter whos good and whos bad these are humans being slaughtered and these ppl act like its a game like its a fight like children are fighting i hate america
