Science professor arthur vanden houten and Flagler College history Professor John young taught a class on the the rwandan genocide and the response by the u. S. And the United Nations. The professors placed particular emphasis on the slow reaction to the crisis from the International Community and how that then shaped 21st century Foreign Policy for many countries. This is about two hours. So, i mean as a kind of overview just to refresh everyones memory here, we started with an overview of the history of it. Rwanda. Talked about how the genocide was an outgrowth of 19th and 20th century rwandan history. There were tensions between ious as his cities ethnicities, various groups. This was exacerbated by colonialism 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. Maybe we should talk
