Summary / Abstract (Note) | TWENTY YEARS have passed since what looked at first glance like a senseless slaughter in Rwanda in which one million of its citizens lost their lives. Today, wars and conflicts unfolding in other regions of our planet invited a closer scrutiny of the Rwandan slaughter. There is a strong possibility that certain politicians stirred up nationalists and pushed peoples into the bloodshed to satisfy their geopolitical ambitions and that the interests of the United States and Europe clashed there. This is confirmed by the deliberate inattention of Europe otherwise inclined to moralizing and by the deliberately passive response of the UN Security Council. We should go to the roots of the developments in Rwanda to better understand what have happened in the world since then. |
