First of all, genocide has never ended in Rwanda. For a few years after the Genocide of Rwanda, the U.N. only "tranquilized" the genocide. There is still genocide happening over in Rwanda still to this day. Anyone who has told you differently has not seen the news recently. The U.N. is to this day still trying to get rid of genocide for good.

Actually this is incorrect. The genocide is not still happening in Rwanda. It started in April 1994 and ended in July 1994 and cost the lives of over 1 million people. I went to Kigali this summer which is the capital of Rwanda and experienced a very peaceful country. Anyone who believes it is still happening is lost and needs to research the genocide more clearly.
