International inaction to blame for 1994 Rwandan genocide, claims the country's president
Rwanda Genocide
THE international community’s inaction was to blame for allowing the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, the country’s president said on Sunday.
Paul Kagame was speaking at a commemoration in Rwanda’s capital, Kigali, for the estimated 800,000 people who were killed by government-backed extremists 30 years ago.
The killings were ignited when a plane carrying then-president Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, was shot down over Kigali.
