It is not surprising to see why the Security Council hesitated in intervening in this conflict. The United States, who is the forerunner, lead the way by not getting involved. The U.S. has a track record of not caring about conflicts in Africa. Historically, their track record reflects this. The United States has a long-standing history of remaining passive in the face of dictators who commit human rights abuses against their own people.
History has a way of repeating itself.
This can be observed when tracing the roots of the genocide back to Rwanda's colonial rulers and the religious forces behind the scenes. These are the same forces that instigated and caused disruption in Rwanda. Their purpose was to stir up dissension by fostering the idea that the country's minority Tutsis was superior to its Hutu majority. What is so alarming is the similarity of the recent 90-day genocide, which was orchestrated by a small group of Hutu extremists against the Tutsi minority. In addition, why the same forces, Belgium and the religious leaders who were instrumental in starting the first genocide, are still blameworthy by not preventing the recent genocide.
