Forth had this popularity. The first thing is, i dont think it was that popular. These guys were always a small fringe. The mainstream of Egyptian Society was not like that. But it did have popularity in some quarters obviously. I think it was because of the structural contradictions of a post Colonial Society like egypt which, you know, from the 70s from the late 70s the Egyptian Government was seen by a lot of egyptians as more or less collaborating with israel in keeping the palestinians down and then the religious authorities, they didnt really do anything about that. Of course, a lot of them were appointed by the government. They would have been fired if they had spoken out. Its kind of like in any society when something is going on that the young people feel is just wrong, then you get protests and sometimes even violence. You know, vietnam war period in the United States, a lot of young people decided that that war was wrong and then, you know, you got that and so forth. I think
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.

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
Unique witness to this whole thing. We have studied dallaire. We have read power. We have read a number of primary sources, victims and witnesses and perpetrators of the genocide. Thats where were left tonight. Weve also encountered on on an aesthetic level through film and other things. I think this leaves us very well prepared to talk about from an intellectual and emotional standpoint, the u. S. Response and the International Response to this whole thing. One thing i would just add to that is obviously during the course of the semester weve confronted you with quite a few different texts, ideas, themes, issues, and challenges. Obviously some of them have been quite difficult and quite wrenching, but really, i think, weve seen the course progressing to the time where we would spend, you know, two solid weeks on the rwandan genocide because of its implications for policy in the 21st century , because so many of the issues weve confronted through the semester crystallize here.
