Class Debate on Rwanda Genocide.

The people that Uganda is blaming for the Rwandan genocide is the MRND. We're blaming them for using the radio station to promote violence against the Tutsis. They pretty much planned their attack to their fellow Hutus of the radio. They encouraged them to go on this killing spree.
We're also blaming The UN & The U.S. for their lack of actions in during the genocide. Even though the U.S. just got done with Somalia, it doesn't mean they shouldn't do anything for people whose lives were being put at risk. We thought America was all about the protection of people & would be against the whole cause of the genocide. The UN also didn't play much in the genocide. Apparently because they "didn't have enough troops"? Haha, okay. We think that They should have helped the innocent people regardless of any costs. I mean, people are dieing here.
Uganda was being blamed for "harboring terrorists". Us Ugandans beg to differ. We were a base for the RPF because we supported their idea of self defense for their kind; the Tutsis. Hundreds of thousands of Tutsis were being killed & the Rwandan government & rest of the worl did nothing to help. Their only hope was us and the RPF. We helped them by being a hiding place.
Another big part of the genocide was Belgium. While they had control over Rwanda they favored the Tutsis, but when Rwanda became independent They just changed their mind magically and favored the Hutus. The Hutus Wanted to get back at the Tutsis now thaat they were more powerful, and Belgium just sat back and watched this fight begin to happen.
We all had part in the cause of the genocide, but us Ugandans must speak up for the RPF and Paul Kagame. It was all self defense for them. YOu can call them terrorists but we know they aren't.
