Rwanda: 30 years on

[BradStevens]

I read a great book about the Rwandan genocide that really shook me. I think the international community could, and should, have acted more quickly.

But I find it very incongruous for Rwandans to blame anyone other than their own for what happened.

I’ve read that. Heartbreaking. I’m scheduled to go to Rwanda next year. Will be hard to think beyond that.
