Genocide

Was Rwanda governmentally organized during the Genocide?

The world looked on in horror but did not do anything about it. The United States became rather isolationist after its failure in the Vietnam War.

Almost none:

They both involved death, that's about it for similarities.

The Rape of Nanking was a single action, the Holocaust was a collections of actions. The motivations for them were different, and so forth.

don't know great detail, but I know that during the Cold War, the U.S.S.R. was very involved with Southeast Asia. Mao Zedong, the ruler of China during part of it was very closely connected to the Soviets, but their relationship started having problems, especially as the U.S. kept also trying to interfere in situations in parts of Southeast Asia as well, thus all factors I would imagine play into genocide. I'm not sure specifically which genocide you're referring to, but there were many issues between the two superpowers fighting over influence over the majority of Southeast Asia states, thus I'm sure with the flip-flopping back and forth between supporters, a lot of problems arose and death as a result. Many wars and battles were fought in that region during the Cold War as a result. Again, it's not detailed, but maybe it helps a little in the right direction

He killed about 1.7 million people because he wanted to be a strong man.

The genocide took place in the context of the Rwandan Civil War, an ongoing conflict beginning in 1990 between the Hutu-led government and the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), which was largely composed of Tutsi refugees whose families had fled to Uganda following earlier waves of Hutu violence against the Tutsi. Most of the dead were Tutsis and most of those who perpetrated the violence were Hutus. The genocide was sparked by the death of the Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, when his plane was shot down above Kigali airport on 6 April 1994.

The long time Somalian leader, Siad Barre, was forced to leave his position in 1991. His followers were very upset and took draconian measures to right the wrong they felt had been committed. This resulted in the attempted killing of Barre's opposers, who then reacted by gathering the common masses and the riot turned into the genocide of Somalia which is now a failed state ruled tenuously by war lords.

Saloth Sar (Pol Pot) and the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia May 13, 1976 .

because they had been responsible for all rounding up of French Jews, this was just one part of it.

No. He was heading towards the gym when Hamilton opened fire. He ran with his brother, Jamie (Jamie was 10 at the time and Andy was 8) and hid under the desk in the headmasters office. He could have easily become one of the victims.

Yes, there is a very good film about the Rwandan genocide, called Hotel Rwanda.

mike Jones did

Nothing, actually,as it was not a genocide per say. Yes, people were killed but it was not based on their race, religion or ethnicity. It does not follow the 8 steps of a genocide either.I live in Nepal and I think it is fair to say that all kinds of people were killed impartially by all kinds of people.However, the Maoists rebels were the main killers and they killed the non rebels so maybe that is the classification

Pol Pot died on April 15, 1998 at the age of 72.

Yes. The Tasmanian aborigines were killed off in the 19th century.

Jevunal Habyarimana, a Hutu, was president that been killed in the plane crash. Few hours after his death, the civil war or Rwanda genocide started. During the genocide, there was not any president. The country was in deep civil war. Later after the situation calmed down and elections was held, Paul Kagame, a Tutsi, became the president.

If you refer to the U.S. government, we cannot nor do we have the right to interdict in the affairs of foreign sovereign governments. The United Nations was established to intercede in affairs of genocide or other human rights violations among other established agencies for human rights. We would have to have some form of invitation from their government to act against the genocide.

babies are,right now,every 22 seconds a baby is murdered, 42 million a year,all through abortion,it needs to be stopped

carnage, slaying, wipe-out, butcher, execute

The word massacre is a noun. It is the intentional killing of a mass number of people.

It can also be a verb meaning to kill in a large number.

We are OK, they are not.

The UN was sent to Rwanda to end the Rwandan civil war. The mission lasted from October 1993 to March 1996.There presence was meant to aid the peace between the Hutus and the Tutsis

The Vietnam war was conducted mostly in Vietnam. (That's in Southeast Asia.) There were spillover campaigns into Laos and Cambodia.

I have seen many people answer these questions saying that there are no pro's for genocide... but if that were the case, then why would people do it? Honestly, the person or group of people commiting the act must get something out of it, whether it be money or whatever. Maybe they gain control over land. Other times it may just be pure hatrid for another group.

The con's are really rather blatently obvious, what with all the destroction and the killing and dying etc.

So conclusively:

Con's--

-Killing/Murder

-Death of Innocents

-The ethics of the group committing the act

-[I'm sure you can think or more]

Pro's--

-It may wipe out a disease that spreads from that group

-The group may be a bad influence on the rest of the world

i.e they might be very violent and intrusive

-It could possibly put the country in a better place

-It may be condoneable if this group really can't support

themselves and are slowly and painfully dying out
