"Rwanda Genocide: 30 Years On, Consequences and Forgiveness"

Rwanda commemorates the 30th anniversary of the 1994 genocide, during which up to a million Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed. The United States, France, and other nations refused to intervene, with former President Bill Clinton expressing regret for not labeling the mass killings as genocide. Rwandan President Paul Kagame criticized the international community for failing to act. The anniversary comes amid increasing criticism of Kagame's leadership, with survivor Noël Zihabamwe highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by victims and the autocratic rule in Rwanda. Human Rights Watch's former executive director, Ken Roth, discussed the U.S.'s inaction during the genocide and drew parallels to the current situation in Gaza, urging for a halt in arms sales to pressure Israel to stop the violence.
