As we speak people are dying. A few week ago the African nation of Rwanda’s government (Hutus) started killing the Tutsis. We had information that the Hutu government was planning a mass killing but decided not to act on these fact. This was a mistake because after the president of Rwanda’s plane was shot down resulting in his death the killing started. Hutus have been killing anyone who is labeled a Tutsis. Tens of thousands have died. We must act now because 1) this is a genocide, 2) imperialism helped with the classification stage of genocide, 3) acting now would save lives. King Leopold the II was the king of Belgium but had expanded his land to rwanda. This is imperialism. King Leopold the II separated the people of Rwanda into two “races”: the Hutu and the tutsi. Life in Rwanda benefited the Hutu. When Rwanda became free the Hutus were put in charge of the country while Tutsis got nothing. It was because of this mistreatment that there was tension between the two groups.

Thousands of people are dying daily so we must act quickly so we minimise the casualties. The amount of troops we have given to rwanda to protect its civilians is not enough so, I suggest that troops from the U.S and other nations that are not helping yet to send troops to Rwanda at once. We must also hold Rwanda’s government accountable for the “organized” mass killing that they instigated.
This is a genocide aided by the classification of Tutsis (created by imperialism) and we must help. If we fail to help Rwanda I fear that hundreds of thousands more innocent people shall be killed. We will have to live with the fact that we could have stopped or even prevented this genocide from happening but we did nothing. We can not fail here. Too many innocent lives will be lost. We pledged that we would do anything to prevent genocides from happening. What is happening in Rwanda is a genocide. Please act
