The international community's response

1.) When did the UN officials receive warnings about the genocide?
    About three months before it took place.

2.) Besides the warning given by one of the planners, what where the other warning signs of genocide?
    Training militia openly, distributing guns and machetes to Hutu people, spreading hate messages throughout Rwanda, Death lists were sent out.

3.) How did state-sponsored propaganda present the Tutsi group?
    They presented them as evil, manipulative, cockroaches and snakes. Saying that they planned to take over and put hate crimes to the Hutus.

4.) What prevented the international community from calling the violence in Rwanda “Genocide”? What would have happened if they had?
    Once it was labeled as genocide they would be required by law to help the Rwandans and they did not want to be involved. If they HAD labeled it as such then the genocide probably would have ended more in out favor.

Once the international community withdrew it’s troops, what did the militia decide to do?
    They decided to strengthen the attacks on the Rwandans and anyone who opposed of the genocide.

6. Who does President Clinton say must share he responsibility for the genocide?
    President Clinton said that everyone one in the international community must share the responsibility for not recognizing what was happening earlier.
