=Rwanda World Reaction =

At the start of the genocide, the United States and United Nations disregarded warnings they received from Rwanda. Even though officials were told that the plan was to exterminate the Tutsis, the U.S decided that it was too dangerous to help the Tutsis. World leaders were against the violence but not want to get involved in stopping it. After the Killing ended international forces come into Rwanda to protect relief organizations and the thousands of refuges. International forces stayed until 1996. In 1998 Bill Clinton apologized for not recognizing the events in Rwanda as a genocide
