Letter to the president
Dear Mr. President
My name is Jake swain. I have been learning very much about the Genocide in Rwanda Africa.
I have been studying on the Rwanda topic for quite a few weeks now. It's almost unbelivable what has happend in Rwanda.
In the year of 1994 there was the Rwanda Genocide. During the Genocide 800,000 people were killed in 100 days. Our country denied the request to jam the Hutus radio and there threats to kill more and more of the tutsis. Our country barley helped at all in this genocide. This genocide could have been prevented but it was not
I think we should help next time a genocide starts. It's bad enough one person dies of natural causes. But in a genocide 800,000 people dead/killed. These people were hacked and clubbed to death with machetes and clubs. Sure there were guns but most of the weapons used were machetes. Almost 100 people dead! No body needs to dies in these events if they can be prevented. I mean people were killing their own family and friends. Why would they be killing their own family most of all? What propagandas would give make them kill their own family and friends?
If we do not help next time we here of a genocide that is happening we might go into the history books again as the country who could have helped but did not. Like when we were being requested to jam the radios. We dident help, when we could have. We could have helped so much more people and I think that a lot more of the people who have died, could have lived. But unfortunatly we did not help. So thats why I think we should help next time our country heres of a genocide that is going on.
Tutsis were put in Refugee camps and they were hacked, shot, beat, clubbed, and raped. The United States of America didn't help with the Genocide to much at all. The President of Rwnada was murdered. Women became sex slaves and were beaten if they didn't do what they were told to do, and if not beaten they were killed. 1 Million people were killed in 100 days.
