History. There were tensions been between various ethnicities and want the. Exacerbated by the germans and the belgians defining people by ethnicity. And this tension was precipitated by the withdrawal of the colonial powers in the 1950s and 1960s such that there was tension for the next 20 and 30 years erupting into violence. Becoming pretty severe starting in 1990 with the invasion of from uganda of the ruewanda rwanda wanda patriotic front. This violence escalated through the early 1990s. There were reprise old killings in rwanda. That brings us to our topic of genocide and the u. S. And International Response to the genocide. Ok, so we are going to talk tonight about the kind of narrative of the genocide itself. What happened between late 1993 and the middle of 1994. Of course, the genocide itself taking place over 100 days between april 6, 1994 and midjuly, early to mid july of 1994. We do this through a number of books that our students have been exposed to.

Any further debate . Very briefly. It is hard to understand how having cast the votes in the senate on Human Trafficking and then say that has a negotiating objective, our own country that puts out a trafficking persons report and labels countries by tiers of how good to how bad they are that some of the worst offenders should get access to our market.

To calibrate that challenging balance you have to make sure that you are not restraining Monetary Policy. So with reluctanc

The trade Promotion Authority we , are considering providing to countries that have high standards like japan, canada and new zealand are being given to a country on the state departments list as required under the Trafficking Victim protection act of 2000.
