USA INVOLVEMENT

In April 1994 the USA Bill Clinton knew Rwanda

was being engulfed by genocide however, the US

government decided to ignore the situation.

The USA chose not to do so publicly because the

president had already decided not to intervene

The administration did not publicly use the word

genocide until May 25 and even then diluted its

impact by saying "acts of genocide".

China was responsible for supplying the governmentwith military arms.

If prevention from the United Nations was taken farmore seriously, it could have prevented China fromfunding and fueling the genocide

The Rwandan embassy and Chinas communities hadorganized the events that showed honour towards thelost and injured
