How did the world react to the Genocide?

This genocide occurred when the Hutu natives became angered by the the Tutsis. There were meetings between the two native groups to keep peace and keep the country in a calmer tone and make it a little safer. These tries to make a peace treaty failed and violent raids still broke out, and the killing and bloodshed continued. This affected the world by making the United Nations work hard to make a treaty with the rebels and many attempts were unsuccessful. General Romeo Dallaire head of peacemaking commission in Rwanda ordered a raid of the Hutu weapons cache. He was denied permission becuase they said it was too dangerous and to unprecedented. Many called it "ancient ethnic hatred". There was a seize fire made between the two, so the dead and treaties could be counted and made. The Red Cross said that since April 6th it was a massive killing. The U.S and U.N labled it a genocide. Rwanda recovered from the genocide by having an election and electing Hutu and Tutis leaders to high positions. There are still no close relationship between the Hutu and the Tutsis. Some children of Rwanda still have no parents because they were killed in the genocide.// **
