The Rwandan Genocide: The Art of Looking Away (Part 6)
Manage episode 470380871 series 3532264
The meticulously constructed system of international indifference turned Rwanda's genocide into a spectator sport while diplomats debated semantics. This wasn't merely bureaucratic failure but the active construction of ignorance and deliberate choice to prioritize political convenience over human lives.
In our next episode, we'll witness Rwanda's struggle to find justice after unimaginable horror, exploring the Gacaca courts where communities confronted killers face-to-face, and examining how Paul Kagame's government's early decisions continue to shape Rwanda today.
