In the literal physical sense, the rest of the world was in the rest of the world outside of Rwanda.

However, I think you are asking the question in a more abstract sense and you actually want to know why the rest of the world didn't intervene and either prevent or stop the Rwandan genocide. There are lots of partial answers to this - the UN didn't want to get involved in a major peacekeeping military deployment, the African continent was trying to get their own international peacekeeping force together, there were significant political considerations and calculations being made by each developed country as well as between national allies, and at the end of the day nobody stood up to say this is wrong and it needs to be stopped, politically expediency be darned. Everyone thought the situation was bad, but no one wanted to be the first to commit to actually doing something about it.

In the movie hotel Rwanda What was the rest of the world watching reading and listening to during the genocide on 1994?

During the Rwandan genocide in 1994, the rest of the world was largely indifferent, with many people reading about the events in newspapers or hearing reports on the radio and television. Coverage was often minimal and lacked urgency, failing to convey the scale of the atrocities occurring. International leaders and media outlets were criticized for not taking decisive action, as the genocide unfolded largely out of sight and mind for the global audience. This apathy and inaction contributed to the prolonged suffering in Rwanda, where approximately 800,000 people were killed in just 100 days.


What was the Rwandan Genocide?

The Rwandan genocide is very complicated but the short version is:The Belgians chose the Tutsis to rule because of there European like features. Later they changed their mind because the Hutus demanded that the majority rule (the Hutus) dominate. The Belgians agreed and actually tried to help them to domination by supplying them with weapons and having their army fight for them when needed. The Hutus didn't just want to start killing so they shot down the plane carrying the Hutu president and said the Tutsis did it so they would have a reason to fight. Later the Hutus won and are now in domination.A mass slaugter of ethnic Tutsis by the ethnic Hutus during the civil war in Rwanda in 1994. Estimates of the death toll range from 500,000 to 1,000,000. It could also be seen as one of the rest of the world's more shameful moments of the 1990s, as the UN Security Council deliberately avoided the use of the word "genocide" in discussing the situation in Rwanda, so as to not be compelled to take action.
